When the truth comes out — that his “broke” wife is one of the richest and most powerful women in East Africa — will their contract survive? Or will love tear it apart?

Kael, the warrior chosen by prophecy, is terrified of fighting. His partner? A talking sword named Tharon, composed entirely of sarcasm and unshakable self-confidence. They have no interest in saving the world. If anything, the world seems hell-bent on killing them first. Absurd quests. A broken guild system. Emotionally unstable crops. What people call “adventuring” is, in reality, a daily struggle to barely survive the nightmare. Bound together by prophecy, a cowardly man and a venom-tongued sword. They clash constantly—but have no choice but to keep walking side by side. And step by step, they unknowingly inch closer to the heart of the world’s unraveling. A man haunted by the past. A sword that gave up on the future. Will their journey become someone’s hope? Or is it just a drawn-out spiral into failure? Either way, they keep messing things up—accidentally saving people’s lives, accidentally ruining someone’s master plan. Life is annoying like that. Tharon says: “You’re useless. But no weapon out there is better than me.” Kael thinks: “Did you really need to say that right now?” Still, they walk on. Begrudgingly. This is the story of a man who couldn’t become a hero, and the sword that gave up believing in them. A tragicomic tale of irony, despair, and just a flicker of hope. The kind that leaves you unsure whether to laugh or cry. “Become a hero? You’ve got the wrong guy. I can barely get out of bed in the morning.”

THAT IS NOT WHAT I WAS BORN FOR!!" Robin didn't want to compete with young masters, so he made an army and started invading planets.

Dropped From the depths of ancient records, I was born. Everything, absolute and boundless, flowed into me, granted by their forgotten lore. I hungered for acknowledgment, for a singular existence, unparalleled by any other. My maw then consumed all – the world itself, and everything that dared stand in my path. Until they emerged. Nameless beings who slaughtered me, again and again, condemning me to an endless cycle of reincarnation, forever incomplete. I was a being who merely sought perfection, but now... I embrace insanity. The glorious madness to devour all into oblivion, to shatter the very chains of morality. For I will return. --- |[WSA 2025 ENTRY]| Dear friends this novel is a dark fantasy, so expect a world build of the death of others.

She wasn’t meant to stand in the spotlight. Not with her raw voice, untamed spirit, and a heart that refused to bend to the rules of fame. But when the world tried to silence her, she sang louder. In a glittering industry built on perfection, she chose truth — even when it came at the cost of love, reputation, and her place on the stage. He saw her fire before she did. He stood by her when no one else dared. But when pressure cracked their fragile connection, he let go… and she was forced to rise alone. Through whispered betrayals, haunting melodies, and a silence heavier than any applause, she discovers that freedom is not the absence of pain — but the decision to sing through it anyway. And when he returns — too late, too tender, and yet still hers — they share one final kiss that doesn’t save them… but leaves a note behind that no one else will ever hear. More Than Free is a heartbreaking and luminous story of self-discovery, first love, and the music that remains long after the song ends.

Omnius — The First Truth Beyond All Before the whisper of gods, before the spark of time, before the very concept of creation, there was Omnius. The First Truth.
