On Christmas Tree

Jeff Anzon, a young man who had just turned 18, was instructed by his father to inherit their family's fortune.

But a huge problem occurred when he went to the airport and boarded the plane. During the flight, a weird phenomenon happened. Even though it was a bright and sunny day, suddenly it turned stormy, dark, and rainy. As the plane crashed to an uncharted island, Jeff found himself stuck on this island. So, what should he do? Of course, move on and build shelter. Luckily a suitcase floated before him, and he saw an axe inside. As he chopped a tree, he was stunned by the sudden occurrence. 10 Golden Tickets = 1 Bonus Chapter 100 Power Stones = 1 Bonus Chapter

"Gordon! Why are you late? The awakening ceremony is right now!" Jessica said urgently when she saw Gordon come through the doors of the awakening center. Shrugging Gordon didn't say anything. The last thing in the world that he wanted to do was tell this beautiful girl that he had been tripped and beaten on the way to school today. It was times like this that he wished that he bruised more easily. Then maybe he could get some attention. But this thought was fleeting in his mind. Gordon actually preferred to deal with his problems in his own way. And awakening to become a beast tamer and maybe even have his own talent would be the first step. Once he had a powerful beast the bullies wouldn't dare pick on him. "Come on, let's get in line." Jessica whispered to Gordon when she realized that he wasn't going to tell her what had happened. Together they went to the back of the arena type auditorium to wait for their turn to awaken. They had been friends since childhood and had been there for each other through thick and thin. Jessica had been the only friend that stuck with him despite all of his quirks. Slowly the line inched forward. Occasionally some people in their class would cheer if in addition to becoming a beast master a student also awakened a talent.

It was supposed to be a night like any other, but when Ezekiel Kane stumbled into a cursed ritual on Christmas Eve, the world as we know it shattered. He never meant to open it—never meant to unleash the darkness that had been sealed away for millennia. But some powers are too terrible to be contained forever, and the Devil’s breath—an ancient, apocalyptic force—was waiting for the right moment to break free. That moment is now. The night sky bleeds with blood-red clouds, and the earth trembles as unspeakable creatures rise from the abyss. Ancient gods descend to reclaim what is theirs—humanity’s last breath. The dead walk again, and the world is drowning in its own terror. There is no safety. There is no escape. As Ezekiel becomes the unwitting vessel of this cosmic nightmare, his body and soul are torn apart by forces beyond comprehension. His connection to the Book of Shadows gives him power—but that power comes at a price. The line between man and monster blurs as he struggles to control the hellish abilities coursing through his veins, knowing that every use of his power brings him closer to becoming the very thing he fears. Haunted by the ghosts of those he’s damned and stalked by a god who seeks to consume him, Ezekiel is dragged deeper into a nightmare where sanity is the first casualty, and death is only the beginning. With the help of Mara, a mysterious, fierce ally hiding secrets of her own, Ezekiel must fight to survive against horrors that defy all logic. But the gods are not the only threat. There are darker things waiting—things that were never meant to walk this earth. As the night grows colder and the horrors mount, Ezekiel realizes the truth: the Devil’s breath isn’t just the death of the world—it’s the birth of something far worse. A reckoning is coming. The sky will burn. The earth will crack. And when the last breath is drawn, no one will be left standing.

In a distant future where humanity thrives in the far reaches of space, the Skeld II, a colossal research and exploration vessel, serves as a beacon of hope and progress. Manned by a diverse crew of scientists, engineers, and military personnel, the ship’s mission is to push the boundaries of human knowledge. But beneath its polished exterior lies a creeping darkness—a sinister force that threatens not only the Skeld but the fragile fabric of human civilization. When a series of gruesome murders shatters the ship’s tranquility, rookie crew member Jean finds himself thrust into a nightmare of betrayal and fear. As paranoia spreads, Captain Max must rally his dwindling team against an unseen foe. Meanwhile, Kenneth, a trusted officer, descends into madness, invoking ancient powers and summoning the Dark One, a malevolent entity from a forgotten age. As alliances crumble and the body count rises, the survivors must confront the truth: the parasite that plagues them isn’t just physical—it’s spiritual, tearing apart their minds and sowing distrust. Their mission becomes clear: unite or perish. But in the face of overwhelming darkness, sacrifice becomes inevitable, and each character must wrestle with their own humanity. Hell on Earth is a gripping tale of survival, betrayal, and redemption, blending visceral horror with intense action. In a universe where shadows linger and light feels scarce, the Skeld’s crew must fight not only for their lives but for their souls. For on this ship, even the stars can’t save you from what lurks in the void.

Tree growth

This is a story about a boy who fell in love with a tree… A story about powerful people changing the rulebook to stack the odds and line their pockets… I aim to create a story that will transport us so we get a glimpse of what that boy felt. The first 4 Chapters might be classified as a prologue depending on how you look at it. The boy quickly grows and the story really starts when the System arrives on Earth. I’m trying to achieve a relatively slow power progression and guide what we learn at a pace following the people in the story. There will be fighting but It’s more focused on base building. The MC is not all-powerful and all-knowing but he has some significant advantages. I’m trying to create a universe that makes sense in its own context. Much of what you will find, are my own world views, in a magnified way, as to make it for interesting fiction. The story took a life of its own when I started to write and I’m really happy with it. Not all of the tags I have marked will immediately be applied. There is stuff planned for far in the future such as the Sci-fi tag. There might be some cursing and gore but it is not very often.
