Hellfire Missile

I'm Xavier Cromwell, a 21-year-old university student and web novel author. My days are pretty routine—attending classes, managing assignments, and squeezing in time to write my novel "RISE FROM THE ASHES". Today seemed no different, the steady clatter of my keyboard filling the room as I crafted another chapter. But then the doorbell rang, interrupting my flow. DING! I sighed, reluctantly pushing away from my desk and heading to the door. Little did I know, my life was about to take a turn I never saw coming. The moment I opened the door, something—or rather someone—came barreling into me. It was like a pink blur, and before I could even react, I was on the floor, knocked flat by what felt like a human missile. Clutching onto me, the pink rocket—no, a girl, her arms wrapped tightly around me—gazed up with sparkling eyes and, in the sweetest, most endearing voice, she whispered: "I've finally found you, my HUSBAND~" *** Note: The story takes place in an alternate universe, with a different geography and countries.

[Warning: Mature Content, R18+] Georgia Lewis had a carefully planned future. Marrying her longtime billionaire boyfriend, inheriting stability after the tragic death of her brother, and raising her orphaned niece in peace. Her brother’s death at sea, bruised and thrown to the waves, was declared a drunken accident pinned on a disgraced ship captain. The case was closed, but the wounds never healed. Georgia is left to pick up the pieces: taking over their bankrupt business, dodging loan sharks, and the angry people whom her father and brother owe… in fear. When her wealthy fiancé proposes marriage, promising protection and financial freedom, she accepts, not only for love, but for survival. But everything was shattered in an instant. Georgia was pushed overboard into the midnight sea. Thought dead by everyone on the ship, she survives... barely... only to be rescued by the last man she ever wanted to see again— Captain Nicholas Knight, the man once accused of her brother’s murder. Stranded on his cargo ship, Georgia is forced to trust Nick as she recovers. He’s intense, stoic, and shockingly kind—nothing like the killer she imagined. As the days pass, she learns more about who Nicholas really was, but Georgia remains haunted by betrayal and secrets. Nick risks his life for her. With survival as their only priority, passion burns hotter than the sun. But despite his hunger for her, he refuses to take advantage. Instead, he vowed to protect her, not use her. He teaches her how to fight, how to survive—and how to trust again. Determined to protect Georgia, Nick finally steps into his destiny. But enemies are everywhere. As passion and danger collide, Georgia and Nick must fight for their future, outsmart powerful enemies, and uncover a murderous conspiracy hiding in plain sight. But revenge comes at a price, and so does love. Yet the more she resists him, the more addicted she becomes. And when the world wants to silence her… He’s the only one who’ll burn it down to save her. Excerpt: “Goddammit, wake up! Don’t you dare die on me! I swear, if you make me regret jumping from that fucking moving ship—!” Her lashes fluttered, blurred by seawater and tears. “Are you awake?” the voice came again. He was closer now, his breath warm against her cheek. “Can you hear me?!” “I’m begging you… Someone tried to kill me… Don’t tell anyone you found me…” His brows furrowed. “What…? Were you pushed overboard?” Georgia barely managed to nod. But her body had had enough. Her eyes rolled back, her fingers slipped from his shirt, and her head fell against his shoulder just as she whispered, “Yes…” Then the memories crashed back. Salt water, freezing winds, her body going numb in the ocean… “Oh good, you’re awake,” Nick said and strode toward the bed. “Don’t come any closer!” she hissed. "I swear to God, I’ll scream the ship down if you come one step closer, you pervert!” “I know you...” Nick stiffened. “What now?” “You murdering son of a bitch!” she roared. Georgia grabbed the nearest pillow and hurled it at him. “What the hell? Are you insane?!” he barked, dodging the pillow. “You’re Nicholas Knight! You killed my brother!” Seeing her trembling, he lifted her effortlessly. “Let go of me!” she shrieked, squirming violently. “Stop—shit!” Nick lost his balance. “Maniac!” she declared. That’s when he felt it. Something soft. Plush. His head dropped like a guillotine blade, fast and sharp. His eyes locked on his right hand, which was currently cupping her like he was holding a fragile fruit from the gods. His soul left his body. But his body betrayed him. He was as hard as rock in an instant… Eyes bulging, jaw dropping, Nick choked on a curse. “Fuck.” Too bad he whispered it directly into Georgia’s face. Georgia's knee rocketed upward like a heat-seeking missile. “How dare you touch me, you Captain Pervert! Murderer!” she hissed. Nick wheezed in pain, clutching his groin. “I saved your life…”

(Author's note:It will include a system.) 2039 AD December 22, Alien Humanoids appeared, Domineer's they were, an advanced race, in technology and physicality. They're arrival brought fear to humanity and how right they were. Domineer's came with the intention of subjugating. Obviously Humanity fought back, modern military power held out, but were pushed back. Variants; they were called, The Death seeker, most commonly seen, the accelerates and tankers. Guns, were not fast enough to land a hit on Accelerates, missiles not powerful enough to damage a tanker, and humanity were not careful enough for Death Seeker's, time to time referred as hunters. Humanity scavenged the technology and integrated it into there current technology, but that took a century. 20 years too crasp the fundamental of there technology. Although due too the lack of resources it took 70 years to adapt it. That was when they attacked back and pushed back the Domineer's on there back foot, Humanity recovered a century and two decades past and focused on offensive technology. And humanity decided they would not wait for them to come back so they went on the offensive. But in there haste the Domineer's targeted there military bases, food suppliers and once more humanity was on the cliff. 200 years of humanity keeping a stagnant clash, then being pushed back. 2480 AD Humanity was losing hope such as a man who was protecting his people that were in a underground base, as it was a secret supplier, to numerous base's. This man fought against a Domineer. At the end of the battle the Domineer had holes in his body and half his face gone, and numerous scattered piece of earth protruding as spikes or broken walls, that was the first Meta, accounted for and was known as the start of the militaries strength. Two decades past and Humanity found a way to give and teach theses abilities through MG serum's (Meta-Gene serum's) and a GI (Gene-Index) which contained information on the Meta-Ability. Humanity fought harder and harder more and more, fiercer and fiercer. But Domineer's grew stronger aswell, with Darker armour. 2678 AD; Humanity was being pushed back as Domineer's appeared wearing armour with beast like features, These were Beast Equipment, Humanity in turn found life on other planets, Beast were what they found. Integrating beast weaponry into there power and Humanity became more powerful than thought. 2700 AD; 300 years before the treaty between Humanity and Domineer's were established, in the 8th or eighth Planetary War, a monster, an abomination attacked both sides and War Hero's killed and learned it was a hybrid Domineer and Human. And after many more decades. 3000 AD the treaty was made. and current time 3010 AD.

ASTASHICA: The Rise of Tlandar By Karen Menjivar When the ancient Xothek Galaxy devoured itself in a brutal civil war, six visionary chieftains seized their last chance at survival. They hijacked a mighty warship, the Defiance Vanguard, and fled through a collapsing wormhole — carrying the remnants of their people, forbidden technologies, and the sentient AI grid known as XENOVIS. On the other side lay Astashica, a wild, uncharted world where they would forge a new beginning from the ashes of their lost civilization. Centuries later, Astashica stands on the brink of another apocalypse. Young Tlandar Varn, a humble cattle rancher from the village of Verdantis Nexus, sees his peaceful life reduced to embers when marauders strike without warning. Forced into exile with his family, Tlandar is chosen by the very spirit of Astashica to defend a world that has never known true peace. Guided by the legendary operative Akashma Xil’ha, Tlandar trains to master the ancient Formicron mechas — towering war machines from the Xothek’s darkest age. But what truly sets him apart lies deep within his DNA: a unique mutation, born from ancient Asemeri gene-splicing experiments, that grants him the rare ability to connect with technologies and forces long thought lost. His hidden legacy makes him the one hope to unite a fractured people against a rising tyrant. Now, as ruthless chieftain Cosmus plots to unleash the last of the Azurevat cataclysmic missiles and seize dominion over all Astashica, Tlandar must rally the scattered factions, reclaim the shattered alliances, and awaken the buried power that lives within him. From flooded marshlands to storm-wracked sanctuaries, he will stand at the heart of an ancient world where sentient machines guard forgotten secrets and monoliths control the skies. In a land where myth and memory blur, where lost empires still breathe through hidden AI and genetic legacies, The Rise of Tlandar is an epic saga of rebellion, sacrifice, and the indomitable spirit that refuses to die — a sweeping tale of one young protector destined to lead his people out of ruin and into a new dawn.

In a war-torn empire where power corrupts absolutely, seven broken warlords branded as monsters must defy their past to forge a future worth redeeming. Once feared as "The Ghost Tigers"—Zhang Wei’s brutal enforcers—Kalima Chileshe (Hellfire Incarnate), John Mwanabeti (The Golden Fist), and their brothers-in-arms unleashed devastation across the Jade Expanse. Kalima’s flames razed villages. Chisangalalo Zulu’s breath poisoned rivers. Vincent Kabonde twisted flesh into abominations. But when the warlord they served turns their affinities against their own families, they shatter their chains, becoming hunted outcasts with blood on their hands and empires on their trail. Haunted by the ashes of Frost Moon Province—a genocide Kalima can never undo—the Ghost Tigers are consumed by a desperate chase: to escape their sins, control their cursed gifts, and find a peace that feels forever out of reach. Their only anchors are the love of spouses they were forced to abandon: - Kalima’s healer wife, Mei Lin, whose faith in his humanity is fading. - John’s fierce swordsmith wife, **Hana, imprisoned for defying Zhang Wei. - Zulu’s herbalist wife, **Lihua**, dying from the toxins he once weaponized. Their quest leads them to the **"Breath of Heaven"**—an ancient philosophy teaching control over their destructive affinities. With this fragile hope, they unite with rebels and clans to build **"The Sanctuary"** in the poisoned Mourning Moss Swamp, transforming their powers into tools of healing: - Kalima’s fire now warms forges. - Zulu’s breath purifies blighted land. - Vincent’s bone-warping mends wounds. But Zhang Wei’s vengeance is relentless. He creates monstrous Serpent’s Teeth" soldiers and poisons the empire’s wells, blaming the Ghost Tigers. Facing annihilation, they make a final stand—not with fire and fury, but with irrefutable truth. Risking everything, they expose Zhang Wei’s atrocities to the Imperial Court, culminating in a celestial aurora over the capital—a beacon of their restraint and redemption. In the aftermath, the Ghost Tigers achieve the impossible: Reunite with their spouses against all odds. Cleanse the land they once poisoned. Build a sanctuary where affinity-bearers and refugees find hope. Force the empire to acknowledge their humanity. Years later, the Ghost Tigers stand not as warlords or monsters, but as guardians of the Sanctuary—a thriving city born from ashes. Kalima and Mei Lin heal beneath blossom trees where infernos once roared. John and Hana teach children to forge swords into plowshares. Vincent and Jia mend broken bones and broken pasts. Their scars remain, but their measure is finally taken in lives saved, not lives erased. "We chased shadows... and found our light not in hiding, but in building this." — Kalima Chileshe, Sanctuary Dawn

They called me useless. A failure. A freak." They were wrong. I built jets, drones, and weapons—alone. I was ignored. Mocked. Abandoned by society. Then I died. Now I’m back. Age 16. Same world.

Status |Finished| This synopsis only covers the beginning of the novel; it represents just a small part of the full story. Xiandre Valkyrie, infamously known as the Smiling Reaper, was once the most wanted criminal in the world. After years of chaos, fame, and unparalleled glory, he grew bored of it all. Craving peace, he staged his own death—shooting himself in the head on Lilika’s Silver Bridge of Flinch, falling into the waters below, and vanishing from history. Unbeknownst to the world, he had adopted a new identity: Kian, an ordinary high school student. Four years later, while attending Ka-agahan Academy, a mysterious broadcast interrupted his class—a nuclear missile was heading directly toward the school. Death seemed certain. But just before impact, everything turned white. When Kian’s vision returned, he—and a select group of students from different academic classes—found themselves transported to a vast castle in another world. Their summoner: Princess Millie. Her claim: they had all died and been brought here to become Holy Soldiers, champions chosen to battle the eldritch god of profanity. Each student was evaluated—measured by the strength of their magical affinity and the elemental power they possessed in this new world. The main character, Xiandre, was granted the potent Element of Control, a power shared by his entire class. But when his individual tier was assessed, the results were shocking: Tier One—the lowest possible rank. Heavenly SYSTEM Level: 1 User: Xiandre Valkyrie Element: Controller Tier Level: 1 Stats: Strength: 1 Speed: 1 Defense: 1 Princess Millie, feigning grace, assured everyone that having a low tier was nothing to be ashamed of—"No one is perfect," she smiled. But Kian—Xiandre—sensed the truth. Princess Millie adored the strong and held no value for the weak. She and the goddess Fillia plotted to eliminate those deemed unworthy. When Xiandre’s power level was falsely assessed as one of the weakest, he was betrayed by his classmates who were easily manipulated by the genius and brilliancy of princess Millie he was cast aside. Along with other "weaklings," he was banished to the depths of hell. Yet Xiandre did not break. Instead, he smiled. "This is was more exciting than being the hero of the story."

This book’s full title is: “Murderous AI: That Time I Got Kidnapped to the Future and My Suit Solves Everything With Explosions” Christopher “Chris” Cross never expected much from his night out in Chicago—until he picked up a pair of sleek, high-tech sunglasses in an old gaming lounge. One bad decision later, he finds himself kidnapped into the distant future, permanently bonded to a sentient A.I. battle suit with an unhealthy obsession with destruction. Now stranded in a world where humanity rules the stars, corporate-backed militaries wage endless wars, and advanced technology is as dangerous as the people who wield it, Chris has a few pressing concerns: • He has no way back home, and his new A.I. co-pilot thinks ‘diplomacy’ is just another word for ‘missile strike’. • The suit he’s wearing is an outdated experimental relic, but somehow, it’s more advanced than anything in this era. • R.A.G.E. wants to solve every problem with overwhelming firepower and keeps offering unsolicited ‘explosion-based’ solutions to everyday situations. • By sheer accident, Chris prevents the assassination of a high-ranking military official, putting himself on the radar of powerful factions—and making enemies he didn’t ask for. With shadowy organizations watching him, dangerous figures hunting him, and an A.I. constantly trying to escalate every situation into a full-scale war, Chris has no choice but to adapt—or die trying. But in a galaxy where power determines survival, he’s quickly learning that controlling R.A.G.E. isn’t just about keeping himself alive. It might just decide the future itself. *** This work will be participating in the 2025 Spirity Awards. Upload schedule: Every Tuesday and Wednesday with a minimum of 4ch/week (I’m a working man.

Colossals, Titans, and Demonic Beasts rule over a world where no weapon, no bullet, and no missile can pierce their nearly impenetrable hides. Ruthless, cunning, and more brutal than any human, these creatures brought humanity to the edge of extinction.

“Why cast fireball... when you can launch a mana-powered missile?” Yuuto Arakawa died in his garage surrounded by scrap metal—and woke up in a world of swords and sorcery. He doesn’t know magic.

Year 2212. The world is in ruins. Nuclear scars burn across the continents. Most nations are gone — reduced to ash in the opening acts of World War 4. Only four global superpowers remain: India, The Soviet Federation , The American Dominion, and China. This war isn’t for glory or gods. It’s for survival. Amid this chaos, one man rises. Codename: Shoonya — a soldier stripped of identity, a ghost with the highest tactical rank in Akhand Bharat's forces. His mind is a weapon sharper than any missile, capable of turning losing battles into massacres. Cold. Ruthless. Brilliant. As alliances shatter and betrayals erupt, Shoonya leads covert strikes, impossible defenses, and devastating counterattacks. But with the world inching toward total annihilation, and whispers of a final “Zero Protocol” surfacing — the last act of war may not be survival... It may be obliteration. The gods are long gone. Now, only man decides fate.

Empires fell and rose with a slight gesture of his hands. Whenever his sword undressed from scabbard, it pierced through space and time. Arvad was a prodigy, who had learned theoretical magic by the age of ten. However, the results of Awakening Ceremony declared him a trash with no affinity for mana. He was exiled from the throne he was meant to rule. When everything was falling apart, a system's chirp echoed. [Magic Engineer System Activated] [Quest:- Survive in the demonic beast forest for three days] [Reward:- Depends on the evaluation of your performance] Then... He bombed the Capital of Lucas Kingdom, invented RPG missiles and brought down gigantic aircrafts. The only one to ever set foot upon the Magic Academy with no affinity for magic. Witness how he fought, fell, and rose again. The Exiled Mage, everyone called him. But they knew him as the most Notorious Mage in the entire Siara Continent. -------- It is a legend of a Pseudo-magician, a thief, a masterful magic engineer, a lover, a dragon-slayer, and... -------- The early chapters are dedicated to world building and character building. So, please be patient with me. The cover does not belong to me. Kindly ping if you want to get it removed. -------- The clumsy poems ahead are my original works. -------- Enjoy your time here.

Humanity ended the world. The System just watched. Yin Zhou was broken long before the apocalypse. A ghost in his own skin—unloved, unnoticed, forgotten. When the sky tore and the dead began to walk, it wasn’t salvation that reached for him. It was the voice. [System Integration Complete] Welcome, Candidate. Contract Bound: Demon-Type – Blood Warlock Primary Link: Entity [Lilith] – Designation: Temptress-Class, Tier-6 Warlord (Infernal Plane) Power doesn’t come free. And this System doesn’t offer choices—only commands. Yin Zhou awakens to a world where pain grants experience, souls are currency, and madness is evolution. Guided by Lilith, his demonic interface and bound succubus, the Demon System feeds him quests soaked in blood, missions steeped in cruelty, and upgrades that demand sacrifice. But the deeper he obeys, the less human he becomes. Kill. Consume. Ascend. The rules are simple. The cost is everything. Now a Blood Warlock, Yin Zhou becomes a vessel for carnage. The more he levels up, the louder the whispers grow—System alerts merging with delusions. Lilith claims to serve, but her smile hides centuries of damnation. And the System? It watches. It waits. It wants him broken. This isn’t a story of survival. It’s a descent. A transformation. A warlock forged in hellfire, led by a System that thrives on the ruin of souls. Humanity can burn. Yin Zhou is leveling up.

***“Drakon—” “Say it again,” I growled, biting the lobe of her ear. Her real name for me, the one she’d whispered the night we'd spent together in New Orleans—not “Dragon,” but the Creole curse that meant storm-bringer. She gasped, her hips grinding against me. “Asshole—” I groaned, capturing her mouth once more. The kiss was a match to kerosene, igniting a fire that threatened to consume us both. Her hands fisted in my hair, lips parting with a gasp I swallowed whole, a taste of lemongrass and rebellion. She tasted like rage and every bad decision I’d ever craved—and Dios mío (My God), I was drowning in her. *** --- In the swamp-rotted heart of Alabama, Drucilla Drakes survives by two rules: stay silent, stay scarred, and never let Louise—her Bible-thumping, belt-wielding captor—catch her hoping for more. But when a schoolyard ambush leaves her bleeding under a stranger’s leather jacket, invisibility becomes a death sentence. Enter Dragon Morales, New Orleans’ most notorious runaway—a cartel prince turned outlaw mechanic with gasoline-stained knuckles and a bounty on his head. He doesn’t do heroics; he does survival. But when he finds Dru in a ditch, her back lashed raw and eyes blazing hellfire, he sees a mirror of his own damned soul. And he can’t look away. Their bond is a lit fuse. Dragon’s father—Colombia’s cartel kingpin—wants Dru dead. Louise, armed with voodoo rituals and the wrath of Marinette, the loa who feasts on chaos, wants her broken. The only allies? The Lou Nwa, a bayou biker gang trading in bullets and black magic, and Papa Legba, the crossroads spirit who offers Dru a deal: “Her soul or yours.” But the bayou’s traps are relentless: - Dragon’s father hunts his son with a price on his head. - Big Danni, Dru’s estranged uncle and Lou Nwa leader, demands loyalty as his gang fractures. - Marinette’s magic twists allies into puppets, their strings slick with swamp rot. And then there’s Dragon—hands that mend engines and break bones, lips that taste like whiskey and run. He swears he’s too ruined to love her. Dru knows she’s too shattered to let him. But in the swamp’s choking heat, where bullets sing and loas whisper, desire is a grenade neither one can dodge. As they blaze through the Deep South’s underbelly—cursed bayous, cartel blood feuds, and safehouses reeking of betrayal—they’ll face more than bullets. Dark magic seeps into old wounds. Family secrets unravel like nooses. And the line between protector and predator shatters. Dru doesn’t need saving. She needs fire. And Dragon? He’s got a lighter, a death wish, and a heart that won’t quit beating for her. **Warning:** This is not a fairytale. It’s bayou smoke and switchblade kisses, saints and sinners colliding where the road meets the ruin. Contains graphic violence, explosive passion, and a love story that burns hotter than a Molotov in a meth lab. Will they raze the South to ashes? Or become the sacrifice the crossroads demands?

In a cold, desolate village where warmth was but a forgotten dream, life teetered on the edge of survival. The villagers huddled in their tiny wooden houses, subsisting on strange, pale fish drawn from the icy depths. There was no food, no water—only ice and despair. As hunger gnawed at their sanity, desperation turned the villagers into monsters. They broke into the home of a woman with child, driven by starvation and madness. Yet, the story did not end there. It is said that the child she carried crawled back from the depths of hell, wreathed in fire and vengeance. His return brought the village to its knees, unleashing wrath upon those who betrayed their humanity. The villagers told the story in hushed whispers: the boy who opened the gates of hellfire.

Liam was a normal person, slightly overweight, friend–and girlfriend–less, and always short of sleep. The little achievement he had under his belt was launching a nuclear missile toward Jepan from Chine when one of his favourite airing animes got cancelled due to some stupid policies. Of course, he didn't actually launch a missile, he just hacked the global radars into thinking like he had. Another small merit he had was slightly disturbing the world's economy when his snob-nosed uncle with shit in his mouth flaunted about investing in stocks. Liam now made sure to throw a few pennies his way whenever he saw him on some corner-side with his bowl. Was Liam normal? Yes, a normal human boy. Was Liam maybe a genius? Yes, the greatest hacker to have ever been born! Haunting the world with his mischief, and being hunted by the governments worldwide with not a trace of his existence known, Liam, the self-proclaimed "Slightly Mischievous Normal Hacker", dies in his sleep after being heart-broken at the heroine in the anime that didn't end up with the character he wanted. But would that be the end of his journey? When after his death he finds that every single atom of the universe has a specific 'code'. Where even the beating of a heart or a simple step like walking has its own coding. Or are there going to be universe-rending changes as in a foolish attempt of trying to observe the codes of the universe, he finds himself disturbing the cycle of life and death— and getting himself reincarnated!!

Above the sky, a kilometer-long giant fish flew over the city, ignoring the bombardment of missiles. In Australia, a kilometer-long world-destroying python destroyed cities, devouring millions of people, and slowly left under the explosion of several nuclear bombs. Coming to this dangerous world, Jack Clark, who unexpectedly obtained a salamander clone, was a little confused. What could he do with a palm-sized hexagonal salamander? Make videos to earn money? Catch shrimps in a stream? Or... make it evolve into a giant beast? A hexagonal salamander, also known as a hexagonal dragon, with unlimited evolutionary abilities, gradually evolved into a mythical world-destroying beast. From a hundred meters long, it turned kilometers and tens of thousands of meters long... And under the synchronized strengthening, Jack Clark's original body also grew stronger, with increasing strength and speed, and even...

"On the day Heaven judged her wrongly, she chose to burn it down." She is the Queen of the Forbidden Realm — a woman with crimson lips, midnight-black hair, icy blue eyes, and a heart shattered by fate. Once cursed by the gods to be nothing more than a “sacrifice” to uphold the world, she returned their cruelty with hellfire. In a land where beauty is a weapon and vengeance is power, she bows to no one— Except perhaps to him: the silent man with glacial eyes, who dared to say, "If you're going to burn Heaven... don't forget to take me with you."

In the grand citadel of the Empire, where witch-hunters prowl the marble halls and curses are common as rain, Cainan—a witch hunting Bloodhunter bound to chains of destruction—is just trying to keep his life simple. That is, until he “marries” Lynzelle, a mysterious woman with a scythe forged from something not-quite-of-this world… because she isn’t. She’s from Hell. The arrangement is simple: pretend to be happily married so Lynzelle can walk among the living without the Empire’s blade at her throat. Easy enough—if you ignore the constant bickering, demonic side-eyes, and the growing suspicion from their fellow hunters. But while they banter and fight side-by-side, something worse brews beneath the soil. Witches are beginning to gather. They’re attempting to birth forgotten gods through stolen, unborn god-larvae—living cocoons of cosmic divinity. Mythic beasts once thought long dead are returning, corrupted by dark blessings and driven mad by purpose. As the false marriage becomes tangled in real danger, Cainan begins to question if Lynzelle is only running from Hell… or if Hell itself is following her. And maybe—just maybe—he’s starting to like the way her hellfire burns. Until it starts to burn everything else, too.

In a city swallowed by darkness and forgotten by hope, monsters reign supreme. Twisted wolves with hellfire eyes hunt in savage packs. Titans—colossal and merciless—crush everything beneath their thunderous steps. Ghosts haunt the ruins, whispering madness into the ears of the living. And lurking deeper still is a creeping void known only as The All Dark—a shadow that consumes light, sanity, and life itself. When a young man returns to this shattered world, he believes he can survive the horrors outside—but he soon discovers the nightmare runs far deeper than savage beasts. As hunger claws beneath his flesh and the city’s darkest secrets unfold, he must confront a horrifying truth: survival may demand the sacrifice of his very humanity. Howl Beneath the Flesh is a dark tale of fear, desperation, and the monstrous shadows that dwell within us all.

Meet Arin: 47, grumpy, genius inventor, bicycle enthusiast, and society’s favorite doormat. After a lifetime of being too poor for the rich, too smart for the poor, and too tired to care anymore, he dies in a poetic blaze of capitalism and missiles. He wakes up... not in heaven, not in hell, but in a world where magic is real, dragons probably exist, and no one knows what a tax form is. Arin discovers he has Blessed Eyes — a magical cheat code that lets him copy any spell he sees, provided he doesn't explode trying. This is the underdog fantasy you didn’t know you needed.
