Black Magus

What kind of realm would you choose to live in after digitizing your mind? For Amun, that was a magical world where he could be free to learn until his end of days. What he got was to become the living god of a vast realm in an odd universe. A being who'd be born with the world. And later stripped of it all. A being of juxtaposition and contradictions. A sinner and a saint. A wise sage and a genius scientist. A loving creator and a baleful explorer. An elf and a devil, living in a world of might and magic. But all is not what it seems. Peace is fleeting. Figures loom in the light. Forms strafe through the trees. And one Amun is woefully ignorant to the ways of a realm so ripe for change. Yet he is one who cannot help but change it. So he devotes himself to forming the greatest guild the Mortal Plane has ever seen, intending to change his world and others for the better. And yet, somewhere along the line of his undying march, Amun evolved into the being all denizens of the Mortal Plane either revered; or feared.

Transmigration: Assassin's Love

As the life force ebbed away from Alex Raven, his consciousness slipped into a void, a realm between life and death. In that ephemeral space, he experienced a surreal transition, a journey into the unknown. Moments later, he found himself awakening in the midst of a bustling city, disoriented and perplexed. It was a rebirth, a second chance at life, and Alex was now the second brother of the formidable mafia family, the Morettis. His surroundings exuded opulence, a stark contrast to the shadows he had once navigated. The mansion's grandeur and the air of authority hinted at the power wielded by the Moretti family in the underworld. As Alex adjusted to this new reality, he discovered the intricacies of his role within the family. The second brother, Damion Giovanni Moretti, had a reputation that echoed through the criminal underworld. Yet, Giovanni was more than a name; he was a complex web of alliances, conflicts, and familial ties. Navigating the intricate dynamics of the Moretti family became Alex's new challenge. His skills as an assassin, honed in the shadows, now found a different expression in the calculated maneuvers of mafia politics. The labyrinthine world of crime families unfolded before him, revealing alliances forged in secrecy and conflicts veiled in tradition. In his new identity, Alex grappled with the duality of his existence. Memories of his past life lingered in the recesses of his mind, a haunting reminder of the shadows he once called home. The juxtaposition of his previous life as a lone wolf assassin with the intricate web of family ties in his current one created a complex tapestry of emotions. Giovanni's life was a juxtaposition of power, loyalty, and the constant threat of betrayal. As Alex delved deeper into the complexities of mafia life, he discovered the importance of trust, a commodity scarce in the world he once inhabited. The shadows that had once been his refuge now manifested as the hidden allegiances and covert alliances within the family. As the second brother, Alex embraced his new persona, drawing on the skills and instincts forged in the crucible of his previous life. The past and present converged in a dance of calculated moves and strategic alliances. The life he once led as an assassin now informed the decisions he made in the turbulent world of organized crime. In the corridors of power and the dimly lit back alleys, Alex – now Giovanni – forged a path that echoed with the whispers of his past. The reincarnation had not only granted him a second chance at life but also an opportunity to navigate the complexities of family, loyalty, and power in ways he could never have imagined in the shadows where his journey began. Who knows, maybe love.

Edgar Doleman One night in the forests of South Vietnam, I had cause to make use of the fire support from an AC-47 gunship, at which point this story begins. Of all the forms of fire support the American military could offer, nothing struck me as so almost supernatural as the fire from an AC-47, which seemed to come down like the fiery sword of an avenging angel in the darkest hour of the night. Yet that fearful image is linked in memory to others—instances of fear and courage, anger and compassion, dumb luck and clever thinking, love and hate, and strength and weakness. It is perhaps this juxtaposition of the great power of weapons and the weaknesses and strengths of flesh that gradually prompted this story. Although this story is fiction and the names, places, and story lines are fictitious, many of the acts of individuals that make up the story are drawn from actual events, pulled from their historical context in order to better ground this story in reality. Experiencing such an event is like experiencing a tornado. The air is filled with mind-numbing sounds and deadly debris, and every instinct screams, “Run! Hide! Find a hole!” Yet for either defenders or attackers to obey these instincts is to fail. Sometimes it is rage at the circumstance that lifts the head and aims the weapon; most often it is a blend of fear for one’s own safety amplified by fear for the safety of one’s comrades who count on him, and he on them, guided by training.

Shepherd of the Weeping Goddess

In the mystical realm where monsters dance on the edges of reality, there exists a priest named Seraphel, a man whose sanity is tethered by a thread as fragile as the tears that incessantly cascade from his kind eyes. Twisted by a love that borders on madness, Seraphel harbours a dark desire—to end the suffering of the Crying Goddess by spilling her divine blood. Haunted by an inexplicable mix of pain, sorrow, hatred, and love, Seraphel embarks on a blood-soaked odyssey. His brutal crusade is fueled by the twisted conviction that slaying the goddess will silence her tears and free her from the torment that binds them both. Yet, in the depths of his fractured psyche, he remains ignorant of the origin of his own anguish. As he traverses the medieval fantasy world, leaving behind a trail of mutilated bodies and shattered souls, Seraphel recites religious texts and delves into profound philosophies about the nature of life. His inner turmoil manifests in the juxtaposition of poetic verses and the grotesque brutality of his actions, creating an unsettling aura around him. In a paradoxical dance of love and hate, Seraphel is tormented by visions of the Crying Goddess, both tender and nightmarish. He perceives her as both a benevolent mother and a malevolent force, leading him to question the very foundations of his faith. The goddess, in turn, seems to revel in the chaos he unleashes, her tears taking on an otherworldly glow that mirrors Seraphel's descent into madness. The land quakes as Seraphel's path converges with other beings—some drawn to his madness, others seeking to quell the darkness that emanates from him. As he confronts these challenges, his distorted mind weaves intricate tapestries of justification for his heinous deeds, blurring the line between salvation and damnation. The novel unfolds in a crescendo of madness and revelation, as Seraphel's internal conflict reaches its climax. In a confrontation with the Crying Goddess herself, truths buried deep within the fabric of existence are unveiled, forcing Seraphel to confront the twisted nature of his love and the harrowing consequences of his actions.
