Sanctum Sanctorum

In a fractured world, where magic stains the soul and war is an eternal tide of blood and steel, the ruins of an imperial dream rise. The Eiyu Empire, once envisioned as the foundation of eternity by Taiko Hideyoshi, has fallen prey to decay. From the ashes of the second Eiyu-Cataya war, a conflict that neither side claims as victory, emerges Ritsu, a youth with an uncertain future, marked by the misery of a discarded class. His only hope shines in the legends, in the whispers of a trial that will grant the fortunate passage to the Forbidden City, the sanctum of power, where imperial reikan and the secrets of shadows intertwine in a deadly dance... In "Shadows of the Empire: Red Sun," there is no clarity in the strife, only the ravenous shadows that dance around power. A power that does not understand justice, but survival, and that weaves its web over the throne of an empire that has forgotten how to dream. It is in this setting of palpable darkness that Ritsu will discover that the true battle is not waged on the bloodied fields, but in the abyss that each being harbors within. And as the pages are consumed, the reader will wonder if it is truly worth emerging victorious in a world where thrones are forged with the lost souls of countless fallen.

Demons are prowling the city floor, and Alexus had never believed that demons existed until now. Luckily, he was resurrected back from his heart attack in the hospital, bringing with him a unique ability. He can see energy as if it was the back of his hand and see beyond the thick veil of the paranormal. What's even crazier is that he is now called an Ouroboros, a being that is not entirely human anymore but something more. He fights to survive in a world where Demons possess the human body, and the demons attempt to kill every last Ouroboros they can find. Still, in a world where Ouroboros are just beginning to bloom, would he be able to make a future for himself or die like every other Ouroboros out there who couldn't make it to Seventh Sanctum. A place where either it's his salvation or his doom. A place where even more dark secrets lie. Is Ouroboros a hero or a villain? Or are they the bringer of destruction to the world?

Humans were cast out of Eden for committing the original sin. Now Seven will answer, should Humanity live forever? But first, join Team Six in their rescue mission turned daring prison break from death. Author's Corner: Welcome to the Legend of the Seven series #LOTSseries, my Guardians. This is my first novel turned webnovel. I'm returning to this fictional world after a 6-year hiatus with a lot of personal growth and insight. Insights gained from being a lifetime reader. I was the kid who read Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I was the new adult who read I Shall Seal the Heavens and Ark. I've lost count of how many fictional worlds I've visited and lived through for I grew up on western novels but discovered eastern novels in my college years. This is my attempt to marry those two literary styles. It's my hope that this journey becomes more than just a book. If you're reading this simply expecting an ego power trip then turn back. There'll be action but with a lot of metaphysics and discussion on life with its accompanying issues. I strive to ground and make this webnovel relatable with verisimilitude. This webnovel is about choice. Freewill and its consequences. I give my characters autonomy to do and be themselves which sometimes leads to me rewriting and replotting because of pleasant surprises from my characters. Even the character who dies within the chapter they are introduced can have a massive impact with several ripples. So, there'll be stories on love and loss, hope and despair, but most importantly, it'll be a story. Release schedule: M, W, F - I aim for afternoon (1pm to 6pm) MST. I'm working on a project, codenamed "Guides' Sanctum", to make LOTSseries even more alive with special voice-overs, extra stories, behind the scene stuff, and so much more. But it can only come online when certain benchmarks are reached. The listed goals will help us get there. Goals: 50 collections will unlock 4 chapters a week - Extra release on Thursday (First goal crossed! We did it! May 13/21) 100 collections will unlock 5 chapters a week - Extra release on Tuesday 250 collections will unlock 6 chapters a week - Extra release on Saturday 500 collections and Project Guides' Sanctum comes online! Links: Lotsseries.blogspot.com Social: @tonyswag0 - twitter @lotsseries - Facebook I'm thrilled at what is happening and what is still to come. Never be afraid to drop a comment. My DM is open. I'll work to keep this work free to access but I ask you to enjoy it from official sources so that you can be part of the discussion. There's magic in reading together to form a shared experience. Again, welcome aboard, my Guardians.

"A mirror?" she wondered, rubbing the smooth surface with her slender fingers. "What's so special about it? It looks so ordinary." "Just not a plain mirror," replied the grandfather. His gaze distant, his voice was hoarse as he explained. "It'll change your life to the deepest core. Here, since it is your sixteenth birthday, I'll pass it to you as a present." "How will it change anything?" she retorted, tapping the pristine yet dull surface. "You must be joking! Always prancing about how I need to be more vain, so mean!" "You will see in due time," was the reply. You will see in due time. Just how a single, useless mirror will change your life in many ways unexpected by anyone. Grandfather was indeed correct. An Fei could not help but admit it. The mirror had completely changed her life, just as he had said. Only, was she presented hell, or a new life? Because.... ---------------------------------------------- "My dear wife, I particularly enjoyed those soft cries and croons you prepared last night. Husband wants to eat meat again!" A handsome man dressed in black robes patted her on the back, softly whispering into her ear. That handsome appearance combined with his devilish allure, he would torment her night and day without pause, tethered by a tender string of sweetness. Definitely in hell. No doubt about it! - //Hello! This is another project of mine! This one will be incorporating themes of historical, transmigration, romance, and xianxia themes. Hope you enjoy!

***Published in Amazon (paperback/ebook*** "Silence your tongue Aurora." He promptly commanded before he cupped her chin and pressed his palatable lips into her mouth. It was a whirlwind of chaos. Her mouth was covered entirely with his own. He savagely torpedoed his tongue and flicked and sparred it with hers until she moaned in protest. She pushed his chest forcefully back, but he only seized her hands and pinned them on the door. She moaned again, this time feeling breathless. He didn't give her any respite even with this however. He used his power to control the air and ordered it to fill her lungs with enough oxygen so that she wouldn't faint of asphyxiation. And the wind did so accordingly, ultimately giving him the much needed time to claim her mouth more leisurely. He had never tasted this kind of sweet nectar before. The longing about it... the yearning for more... the feeling of exploding was so tangible against her skin. Ahhh... yes. Yes. So this is what humans call, desire.... ~ S ~ Follow an exorcist priest assigned by Sancta Sedes to exorcise demons from every continent. He must obey the Holy Pope whatever the cost is due to a dark secret only him and a few bishops know about. And this time, the Holy Pope instructs him to go in the City of Soren to investigate a recent, of the many, demoniacal attacks in an orphanage house of St. Therese.
