[highly mature book] [crime and psychological thriller webnovel] *[This novel takes a refreshing break from overused plot tropes such as the billionaire playboy or bad boy falls for good girl.

As he digs deeper, Hoffman finds himself entangled in a web of psychological manipulation and hidden motives, where nothing is as it seems. The killer’s methods are calculated, their presence elusive, and their purpose disturbingly personal. With each revelation, Hoffman is forced to confront not only the darkness of the case but also the shadows within himself. The glass ball eyes is a gripping tale of obsession, deception, and the thin line between justice and madness. When every truth feels like a trap, can Hoffman uncover the killer before they strike again?

Vesper was meant to be a messiah. Born with darkness behind her left eye and the ability to touch vast alien consciousnesses, she was raised by the Church of the Eternal Eye to be their bridge to powers beyond comprehension. But when she discovered their true intentions – to use her as a living gate for entities that would destroy our world – she escaped, leaving devastation in her wake. Now, the Church desperately seeks a replacement, seeding innocent people with fragments of eldritch power that drives most to madness and death. Working with a resistance group led by the enigmatic Marcus, Vesper races to stop the very atrocities she was trained to enable. But as the body count rises and new patterns emerge in the Church's activities, she faces an impossible choice: confront the destiny she fled, or watch as the Church tears apart the city trying to create a new messiah. Complicating matters is a dangerous attraction to someone she should consider an enemy, forcing Vesper to question everything she thinks she knows about allegiance, redemption, and the true nature of the forces she can touch but never fully understand. As the barriers between dimensions grow thinner and an ancient convergence approaches, Vesper must decide if saving humanity means sacrificing her own. I will be publishing this novel on RoyalRoad.

After exterminating 75% of the demons, he disappeared. But before disappearing, he tore out his eyes. From these eyes were born the eye of the hunter and the eye of the magician. Thirty thousand years later, humanity and the other races have made peace and have allied themselves to form a common front against the demons. People can decide whether to receive the eye of the hunter or the eye of the magician only one. However, in certain cases special cases arise.
