The Starving Artist

The Starving Dogs

After a mysterious gas was released into the planet's atmosphere, the population suddenly found themselves with mystical powers. Ranging from superhero abilities known only in comics, to incredibly specific and hardly practical. When your worth is now decided by birth, how does one live? When talent merely becomes a word to explain a fortunate ability, how do you stand out? Heroes, Villains, Vigilantes. Stories and myths of such beings became commonplace. Governments requiring powerful abilities to keep order. The Hero Association attempting to keep its influence through monetization. Villain groups abusing their powers. Vigilantes attempting to fight against such tyranny and unfairness. Corruption rampant as always. Like stated, these stories are commonplace. Mass produced even. So what about a narrower focus? A lawless city ruled by an order of Street Gangs. This isn't the story of a selfless uprising Hero, or a Villain who wreaks destruction, or even a Vigilante who wants a better world. Rather it's a story of the struggle of the strong. People who gather others underneath them, and fight against rivals. All to rise to the top and rule this city. Would you care to join? This isn't a grand story, it might not be to your taste. Can you stand beside those who struggle, without a guarantee for a satisfying end? As they fight to stand at the top, or be consumed? If so, allow me to tell you this story. (WARNING: THIS VOLUME CONTAINS VIOLENCE AND STRONG LANGUAGE. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED)

The Legacy of the Shell

In a world encased in glass, Rollan, a solitary isopod, believes the terrarium is all there is—a small, predictable world filled with moss, soil, and shadowy comfort. But when a mysterious crack appears, bringing forth a strange and enigmatic creature, Rollan is thrust into a journey that will challenge everything he knows about survival, purpose, and the boundaries of his existence. Guided by the creature, Rollan steps through the crack into a vast, thriving biome—a world teeming with dangers and wonders far beyond his imagination. As he navigates towering plants, flowing streams, and creatures both beautiful and terrifying, Rollan begins to understand the truth: the terrarium was never the entire world, but a shell meant to prepare him for something greater. But freedom comes with trials. Rollan faces predators, treacherous landscapes, and the overwhelming complexity of life outside the glass. As he struggles to adapt, he discovers strength he never knew he had and begins to see himself not as a lone survivor, but as part of a larger, interconnected community. As Rollan learns to lead and guide others emerging from their own “shells,” he comes to understand the role of his enigmatic companion—a guide sent to awaken the courage within. With the creature’s guidance, Rollan grows from a timid inhabitant of a confined world to a courageous pioneer in a boundless one. The Legacy of the Shell is a story of transformation, resilience, and the power of choice. Through Rollan’s journey, it explores themes of freedom, growth through adversity, and the beauty of discovering a purpose greater than oneself. Perfect for readers of all ages, this thought-provoking tale reminds us that the boundaries we see are often the ones we create—and that stepping beyond them is the first step toward true growth.
