Long before civilizations took root and mortals tread the planes of existence, there was a world where beasts reigned supreme—a realm in turmoil. At the apex of this wild hierarchy stood the dragons, beings of immense majesty, boundless intellect, and unmatched magical might. In the heart of this ancient age, a young dragon—barely a century old, an adolescent by his kind’s standards—embarks on a journey to find his place in a world where survival is the only law. Blessed with the rare ability to wield the Ancient Dragon Tongue—the first magic, and the foundation for all that would follow—this young dragon must navigate a turbulent society fraught with rivalries and alliances among his own kin. Beyond the dragons, greater threats loom: the Gods, beings of pure energy who embody the soul, and the Titans, colossal entities of mind and matter, vast as the planets themselves. As these three forces collide, the delicate balance of their existence is pushed to its breaking point, sparking conflicts that threaten to consume everything. Through centuries of trials, battles, and revelations, the young dragon rises from an unsure hatchling to a unifying figure among his kind. Yet, with influence comes peril. As his magic grows, so too does the attention of ancient forces that see him as either a threat to extinguish or a weapon to wield. The arrival of fragile, untested mortals on the scene forces a critical choice: to nurture humanity’s burgeoning potential for magic, guiding them as allies, or to protect the secrets of the Ancient Dragon Tongue, keeping its power sacred to dragons alone. Draconis Genesis: The Dawn of Magic is a sweeping saga spanning eons, an exploration of power, legacy, and the ties that bind. It weaves a tale of dragons, Gods, and Titans locked in an epic struggle that births the very essence of magic itself. In a world where beasts dominate the land, celestial entities rule the heavens, and Titans define reality, one dragon’s decisions will shape the destiny of creation.

"Everyone has their own story to tell. From trauma to triumph, there is always an experience that defines how a person acts. There is nobody in this world who we can truly say has nothing to tell about themselves, after all, what are we defined by if not the tales of our greatest moments, the remembrances of people who created our childhoods? When we look at our pasts, often we think from our own perspectives. We talk about the mistakes we made, the things we didn't know, but even if we look back on what we did with regret I don't think we can truly say that we made the wrong choice. We simply don't understand our story anymore. This is something I've only learned recently." - The Third

(Versão em Português) A história mistura fantasia e realidade, sendo destinada a maiores de 16 anos e contendo conteúdos sensíveis para alguns. Há terror e temas delicados que a narrativa aborda. A trama fala sobre uma família com segredos ocultos e um adolescente chamado Pablo, que acaba tendo que lidar com um perseguidor. Esse perseguidor levará Pablo a entender melhor os segredos de sua família. É uma história que aborda espiritualidade, ensinando que todos somos espíritos e que o maior valor da vida está no amor e na capacidade de entender o outro. O texto enfatiza fortemente a necessidade de respeitar e amar todas as pessoas, independentemente de sua orientação sexual ou identidade de gênero. O preconceito e a discriminação são vistos como atitudes primitivas e de atraso espiritual. Inclusive, é mencionado que alguns médiuns homossexuais podem ter mais facilidade em se conectar com espíritos elevados devido à sua sensibilidade e afabilidade. O livro aborda a diversidade de gêneros e orientações sexuais, não se limitando apenas ao padrão heterossexual. Explica que a sexualidade de uma pessoa não define sua espiritualidade ou caráter, pois pessoas LGBTQIA+ também podem ser amorosas, virtuosas e evoluídas espiritualmente. Uma das explicações oferecidas é que a homossexualidade pode ser uma expressão da sexualidade de alguém que reencarna em um corpo diferente do seu gênero anterior. Isso não significa que a pessoa seja "inferior" ou "pecadora", apenas representa a diversidade da experiência humana. Uma importante colocação é que a sexualidade não define a saúde espiritual de alguém. Vícios, ódio, orgulho e arrogância são vistos como muito mais prejudiciais do que a homossexualidade ou bissexualidade. Também é ressaltado que pais devem amar e aceitar seus filhos LGBTQIA+ da mesma forma que os filhos heterossexuais, pois todos são iguais perante Deus. Pedro Henrique escreve este livro para mostrar a importância de vencer as barreiras dos preconceitos e ideologias impostas pela sociedade. O amor é a mais pura essência da felicidade; nem o tempo nem a distância podem quebrar o verdadeiro significado do amor. O livro ressalta o quanto é importante aceitar o próximo da maneira como ele se sente melhor, ensina a perdoar e mostra que cada pessoa tem seu próprio ponto de vista na vida. No entanto, é essencial ter respeito. Este livro é dedicado aos mistérios entre a vida e a morte, pois muitas vezes esquecemos que um dia nascemos e que um dia iremos partir deste plano. Eu lhe faço uma pergunta: se você tivesse a chance de nascer várias vezes para consertar um erro, você o consertaria?

Stalker Fantasma (English Version) The story blends fantasy and reality, aimed at readers over the age of 16 and containing sensitive content for some. There is horror and delicate themes that the narrative explores. The plot centers around a family with hidden secrets and a teenager named Pablo, who ends up dealing with a stalker. This stalker will lead Pablo to better understand his family’s secrets. It is a story that addresses spirituality, teaching that we are all spirits and that the greatest value in life lies in love and the ability to understand others. The book addresses the diversity of genders and sexual orientations, not limited to the heterosexual standard. It explains that a person's sexuality does not define their spirituality or character, as LGBTQIA+ people can also be loving, virtuous, and spiritually evolved. One of the explanations offered is that homosexuality may be an expression of the sexuality of someone who reincarnates in a body different from their previous gender. This does not mean that the person is "inferior" or "sinful"; it merely represents the diversity of the human experience. The text strongly emphasizes the need to respect and love all people, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Prejudice and discrimination are seen as primitive attitudes and signs of spiritual delay. Furthermore, it is mentioned that some homosexual mediums may have greater ease in connecting with higher spirits due to their sensitivity and affability. An important point is that sexuality does not define a person's spiritual health. Vices, hatred, pride, and arrogance are seen as far more harmful than homosexuality or bisexuality. It is also highlighted that parents should love and accept their LGBTQIA+ children just as they would their heterosexual children, as all are equal in the eyes of God. Pedro Henrique writes this book to show the importance of overcoming societal prejudice and ideologies. Love is the purest essence of happiness; neither time nor distance can break the true meaning of love. The book highlights how important it is to accept others as they feel best, teaches forgiveness, and shows that everyone has their own perspective on life. However, respect is essential. This book is dedicated to the mysteries between life and death, as we often forget that one day we are born and that one day we will leave this plane. I ask you a question: if you had the chance to be born multiple times to correct a mistake, would you do it?

Someone appears, silent as a shadow. They understand every thought, every wound, every quiet dream you’ve hidden away. Who are they? They look at you with your own memories in their eyes, wearing a life that feels like yours—and yet it’s not. They claim to be you. Would you trust them? Would you let them in, knowing they might reveal the parts of yourself you’ve buried the deepest? And if they are indeed a part of you… are you forced to accept them? Do you want to? Their presence stirs something you can’t define—a connection that feels fated, an understanding that runs deeper than you can explain. They slip through the fabric of your life, binding themselves into your existence, as if they’ve always been there, waiting to step forward. Yet behind that familiarity lies a tension, a question that lingers: What if they’re here to reflect not only the best parts of you but also everything you fear to see? Are they here to free you from your own shadows… or to pull you into theirs? Currently Improving Chapters, If some dont make sense, well it will soon. Quality over Quantity (finished polishing!

But power comes with a cost, and Raiden is an anomaly the heavens themselves seek to suppress.

Every eye turned upward, filled with awe and fear, as the phenomenon of heaven and earth unfolded.
