All Quiet On The Western Front Or

Blood & Vapor: A Song Of the West [Steampunk Western]

Wasters. The word spreads like wildfire across the frontier—whispered in saloons, cursed in cathedrals. Born of rogue science and stitched metal, they’re outlaws in the eyes of the Church and monsters in the eyes of the world. Levi Wilson didn’t choose this life. Once a streetwise mercenary, he was captured, experimented on, and turned into something he doesn’t understand. Augmented with prototype Vaporguard tech and left with scars he can’t outrun, Levi escapes into a land already teetering on the edge—where the Church tightens its grip, bounty hunters chase Wasters for coin, and the Old World’s empire watches the New with hungry eyes. Now hunted and alone, Levi must learn to survive—not just the bounty hunters and Inquisition on his trail, but the growing power inside him. What begins as a fight to stay alive will drag him into something far greater: a war for the soul of the frontier, and maybe the world beyond it. **WHAT TO EXPECT** • Guns are outlawed—blades, fists, and augments rule the frontier • Alternate timeline where the Church controls global tech and power • Steam-powered war machines and brutal Inquisitors • Grounded, gritty combat with realistic consequences • Deep worldbuilding with political, cultural, and religious conflict • Third-person limited POV with strong character focus • No chosen ones, no prophecy—just survival • Slow-burn mystery and high-stakes tension • No harem • Earthsong magic with real costs, not flashy spells • Bounty hunters, Templar Knights, orphans, war criminals, and broken survivors

A Million Beginnings, One Quiet Ending

[WSA 2025 ENTRY] I've revamped this book multiple times, trying to get it to be where I want. Asher Blackwood has died 999,999 times, each life ending in tragedy, triumph, or torment. But his one-millionth life was different. That life was brutally cut short by forces beyond his control, forcing him into an unexpected reincarnation. Now, thrust into a new existence, Asher finds himself hunted by demons, challenged by the ruthless Lords of Hell, and trained by enigmatic demigods who see him as both a weapon and a pawn in a cosmic war. Asher’s journey is no longer just about breaking the cycle of rebirth—it’s about survival. Armed with the skills and knowledge of a million lifetimes, he must navigate a treacherous landscape where the lines between ally and enemy blur. The demigods who train him demand loyalty, but their motives are shrouded in secrecy. The demons who pursue him seek to claim his soul for their own dark purposes. And the Lords of Hell, ancient and merciless, view Asher as the key to tipping the balance of power in their favor. As Asher battles his way through hellscapes and mortal realms alike, he begins to uncover the truth about his curse: it was never just about him. His endless reincarnations are tied to a prophecy that could either save or doom all of existence. With each step closer to the truth, Asher must confront the darkest corners of his own soul and decide whether he will embrace his destiny or defy it. Discord @: https://discord.gg/CTt4KzYp

Cold or numb

“And what is it about him that still makes you love him?” I asked, sensing I already knew the answer. “Oh, my dear, please try not to hold onto so much resentment for your father. He might—” “Mom!” I interrupted, my voice breaking as a sardonic laugh escaped me. “How can you still find a way to justify his actions? Even if you have some lingering feelings for him, shouldn’t they fade when you think about what he’s done to me? Am I really not as important as the man who has only brought you pain?” My emotions overwhelmed me, and I struggled to hold back my tearsThe silence enveloped us, and I could feel the weight of uncertainty in the air. I couldn't help but wonder what had clouded my mom's judgment, perhaps it was the influence of that man she called her husband. “Mom, I think it's time for you to choose a side,” I said, my voice trembling as I neared the end of my sentence, fully aware that I might never address him that way again. “You can’t keep pretending this is going to work. It’s either me or…him.” “Serena, please, you can't win against your dad. I really think you should drop any thoughts of going against him. He’s not as bad as you believe, dear. Remember, he’s the one who pays for this house and your college tuition. Your clothes and food—all of that is still his responsibility, and he’s meeting those obligations. All I ask is that you finish college, find a job, or better yet, settle down with a good man,” my mom urged, her voice tinged with an earnest desperation as if she were trying to convince not just me but herself. I listened, trying to remain calm, a bittersweet smile crossing my lips as I realized I couldn't back down from my convictions. “Alright, Mom, if you’ve chosen Mr. Andre, that’s your decision. But I won’t be swayed—I’m going to forge my own path, and I hope you’ll understand that when the time comes.” With that, a sense of resolve washed over me, and I braced myself for the future ahead, knowing it would be filled with both challenges and possibilities.
