The Owl House Illusion

Looking back, maybe it wasn’t all that bad. Sometimes I wonder if life would’ve been better if Eliza and I had never discovered the truth. Maybe that’s selfish. But we might’ve been happier— or at least, that’s what I like to believe. Magic is a mystery. Even now, no one truly understands it. It flows through the world, choosing its own vessels. And once it touches you, it never lets go. I wish that was all I had to tell you. But my story is darker— filled with mystery, sacrifice, and loss. My name is Maddox. And we should’ve never left the orphanage. But what choice did we have?

Osamu Murakami was your average college drop-out, till he wasn't. By the age of twenty he was completely alone in modern Japanese society, failing his literature courses because his writing was too damn fantastical. Pooh. If writing fantasy won't sell now, he'd not want to live in such a world. Guess God heard his wish. After an incident at the local 7-11 convience store he was resting by the roof's edge, when suddenly he was startled by his goddess Fumiko and he fell. Fumiko tried to save him but they ended up falling together, and they died. But at least it was quiet now... right? Why is there the sound of a baby crying? Weird. Wait. Was that him...? He had reincarnated as Temius Daecerus, in the Royal House of Tarkhan Daecerus, the Iron Lord of the fantasy world of Selliva and he had absolutely no idea what he should feel about this sudden plot twist... Can't a guy even die in peace???? Now begins the story as we follow Osamu's adventure as the genius mage of the House of Tarkhan in the world of Selliva.

When 25 students from different backgrounds were invited to join “Primera Elite High School,” they all thought it was just a prestigious boarding school. But they were wrong. The education here is far from normal. The teachers don’t give lessons — they observe. Instead of classes, there are psychological tests, challenges, and rankings. Little by little, the students realize they are part of a game they never chose. A game that evaluates their every move, tests their will, their minds, and their loyalty to one another. In this school… no one is who they seem, and the real question is: who will control the game — and who will become its victim?

When a family moves into an old home with a dark past, they quickly realize it's not just the creaking floors or cold drafts they should fear — it's the feeling that someone, or something, is always listening.

Ahmaya’s life had always been surrounded by questions and oddities. A mysterious tree in her grandma’s home, strange occurrences, and an unsettling distance between her and her family had created a sense of isolation. Her mother’s sudden disappearance left a void that no one spoke about, and the more Ahmaya tried to fit in, the more she felt out of place. But everything changes when she starts to awaken to the truth about herself. As she begins to understand her divinely bestowed powers, Ahmaya realizes that her life, and the lives of those around her, were never what they seemed. Her family, once thought to be ordinary, reveals layers of secrecy and divine connections that Ahmaya hadn’t even imagined. The tree at her grandma’s home, once just an oddity, becomes a portal—leading her to uncover the hidden world of divine protectors and sacred duty. But the true twist comes when Ahmaya is suddenly transported back in time, to 1935. There, she encounters key figures from the past—people who she recognizes from her present life in 2024. These connections run deeper than she could ever have imagined. As she uncovers the truth about her past and the role she plays in the eternal cycle of life, love, and protection, Ahmaya’s heart and spirit awaken to the divine purpose that was always waiting for her. In this tangled web of time, Ahmaya must navigate both her earthly and mystical realms, discovering her true identity, embracing her divine mission, and forming bonds with the very people who shaped her destiny in both the past and present. With newfound strength and understanding, Ahmaya steps into the role she was always meant to play—the guardian of a sacred truth that spans across generations. ………………… A/N:Cover art is an original piece created by the author.

The deck was stacked before the first blade was drawn, and somewhere behind the veil, the true gamemaster waits. Let the cards be drawn. Let the queens take form. Let the crown be shattered in a crimson storm.

In the beginning, when the world was still young and the skies were untamed, there existed a legend known to only a few. It was the tale of the 5 Birds, celestial beings created to safeguard the realms and maintain the balance of nature. These five majestic creatures were revered and feared, their power unmatched and their wisdom boundless. • Divine Owl Sagea, soared above the highest peaks, her golden wings casting a protective shadow over the lands below. She embodied courage and strength, always the first to confront any threat to their world. She was the leader of the 5 celestial birds. • Nocturne, the Raven of Secrets, dwelled in the shadows, his black feathers blending with the night. Keeper of ancient knowledge and hidden truths, he was a master of dark magic, using his powers to protect the innocent and punish the wicked. • Zephyra, the Falcon of Speed, raced with the wind, her silver feathers shimmering in the sunlight. She was swift and agile, a messenger of the gods and a symbol of freedom, her presence a harbinger of hope. • Seraphina, the Swan of Serenity, glided gracefully over tranquil waters, her pure white feathers reflecting her inner peace. She brought harmony and healing, soothing the hearts of those in turmoil and restoring balance to the land. • Pyra, the Phoenix of Rebirth, burned with an eternal flame, his fiery plumage a beacon of renewal and transformation. From the ashes of destruction, he rose again and again, a testament to the power of resilience and the promise of a new beginning. These five were the Pentad of Protectors, united by their mission to defend the world from the forces of darkness. Their greatest challenge came in the form of the Shadow Flock, a sinister group intent on plunging the realms into chaos and despair. The Celestial Birds fought valiantly, but the battle was fierce and unforgiving. One by one, they fell, their spirits lingering in the hopes that one day, successors would rise to continue their legacy. The world was left vulnerable, waiting for the day when the Celestial Birds would return to restore peace and order.

Dreams become real. To avoid dreaming, people stay awake, but what prevents the waking world from turning into a dream, no, a nightmare? (Sorry for the short abstract, but I find that knowing what happens ruins the story!)

Timothy’s sister has been missing for three years. Though a noted cross-country serial killer claimed her, no trace of her body has ever been found. Everyone, including her ex-boyfriend, Marshall, has accepted the story, except Timothy. After a series of increasingly puzzling dreams, Timothy convinces Marshall to join him on a journey to Trinity, Georgia —a town surrounded by forests and shrouded in mystery. Their quest for the truth soon takes a horrifying turn when deeply buried secrets burst to the surface, secrets that could lead to a house in the forest whose truths may be more horrifying than either of them can imagine.

Mandy Morgan thought she had her life figured out—until it all shattered. Working as a competent manager at Vienna Suites in Owerri, Nigeria, Mandy carries the scars of a previous relationship that nearly destroyed her. Lonely yet guarded, she finds unexpected solace in a mysterious online connection with Jayson Anderson, a dark, alluring man who quickly consumes her heart and mind. What starts as a few flirtatious chats soon morphs into something deeper and dangerously intoxicating. Jayson is everything Mandy never thought she needed—dominant, enigmatic, and emotionally elusive. Their late-night conversations become her escape, even as red flags begin to appear. Mandy’s heart overrules her reason. She knows he’s not offering commitment, yet she clings to the illusion that he might change. After two intense months, she travels to Abuja to meet him, and reality hits harder than expected. Jayson is charming in person, just as magnetic as his messages promised—but emotionally distant and cold when she needs him most. Their time together is passionate and unforgettable, yet every tender moment is followed by a wave of detachment. Upon returning to Owerri, Mandy begins to unravel. Jayson becomes less present, more absent, and painfully unreliable. Meanwhile, Nathan Hydes, a wealthy and kind-hearted executive she meets through work, begins to show interest in her. Nathan is everything Jayson is not—attentive, stable, patient. But Mandy is too emotionally entangled in her illusion to truly see him. As weeks pass, Jayson ghosts her, returns with weak apologies, then disappears again, leaving Mandy stuck in a painful limbo of hope and confusion. Her emotional decline becomes visible at work. Rumors among staff about inappropriate affairs trigger Mandy’s fierce sense of professionalism, and she begins to assert control—but inside, she's crumbling. With Christmas around the corner, Mandy’s best friend Hazel arrives from abroad and immediately notices her friend’s decline. Hazel becomes the voice of truth, urging Mandy to wake up and see Jayson for who he really is—a fantasy, a carefully crafted illusion of love. Slowly, Mandy is forced to confront the painful truth: her relationship with Jayson was never real—it was all desire, not devotion. Heartbroken and disillusioned, she begins the long journey toward healing. Even when Nathan expresses his love and offers her a fresh start, Mandy isn’t ready. She’s broken, confused, and lost. But she knows one thing for sure—she has to choose herself this time. My Illusion – Part One is a raw, emotionally gripping dark romance that explores the pain of loving someone who never truly loved you, and the struggle of reclaiming yourself after being consumed by false hope. It’s a haunting journey of desire, deception, and the slow, painful path toward self-discovery.

But House Empyrean harbors dangerous secrets. When Lord Khaliel, head of House Empyrean, launches a brazen operation to claim Earth a world explicitly forbidden to all houses by ancient decree, the act is dismissed as suicidal by the higher echelons of the Angelic Order.
