THE BINDING SPELL

The Binding Spell "The Binding Spell" begins as a charming contemporary romance, introducing Clara, a quiet book-lover with dreams of her own publishing house, and Liam, an articulate university lecturer. Their serendipitous meeting in the sun-dusted aisles of an old, beloved bookstore, "The Binding Spell," sparks an instant connection over their shared passion for literature. Their story blossoms through cozy cafes and shared silences, hinting at a profound sense of belonging and the magic of finding a kindred spirit. However, their unfolding love story takes a dark and dangerous turn when the very bookstore that brought them together is mysteriously destroyed in a fire. What Clara and Liam uncover in the aftermath is not just a tragic accident, but a sinister web of corruption tied to powerful corporate magnate Marcus Thorne. Armed with explosive evidence of arson and deeper malfeasance, they find themselves thrust into a high-stakes battle for truth, their lives—and the safety of their daughter, Eliza—hanging in the balance. Their desperate attempt to expose Marcus publicly leads to a city-wide manhunt, Liam's injury and disappearance, and Clara's capture by Dr. Aris Thorne, Marcus's estranged and far more dangerous brother. Aris, a reclusive geneticist and data magnate, reveals a chilling ambition for total information control, seeking to "optimize" Clara's memories using a neural device to weaponize her story against Marcus. Caught between two warring brothers and their monstrous ambitions, Clara faces not only physical peril but a terrifying threat to her very identity. As Marcus's forces breach Aris's hidden facility, chaos erupts, leading to the desperate unleashing of Project Chimera - Specimen 001, a formidable and unknown creature. Clara must navigate a crumbling, flooding labyrinth, facing both human predators and an unleashed monster, all while desperately searching for Liam and clinging to the hope of protecting Eliza. "The Binding Spell" transforms from a sweet, character-driven narrative into a gripping, high-octane thriller, exploring the enduring power of stories, the fight for truth against overwhelming control, and the harrowing journey of two souls bound by love, courage, and an unbreakable will to survive.

SUBTLE RESONANCE

In the seemingly ordinary halls of Northwood High, Sam Gray Stone, a keen observer who finds solace in logic and quiet contemplation, notices Elliona Elfray, a brilliant but shy girl who perceives the world in intricate layers. Their initial connection is a subtle hum in the echoing quiet of the library, a shared glance that hints at unseen depths within their reserved exteriors. Drawn together by an unexpected partnership for an advanced English project, Sam and Elliona begin to navigate not just the complexities of literature, but also the uncharted territories of their own minds. Through hushed conversations in the library, a chance encounter at a stubbornly locked locker, and an unexpected shared appreciation for fantastical realms found in books, a quiet resonance begins to form between them. Their connection deepens beyond academics during a visit to a quirky independent bookstore and a shared afternoon tending a community garden. In each subtle interaction, they discover a kindred spirit in the other – someone who sees beyond the surface, who understands the unspoken language of their quiet souls. As their bond strengthens, they find solace and understanding in each other's presence, a refuge from the often-cacophonous world around them. But as their feelings blossom, they must navigate the delicate balance of their introverted natures and the often-awkward realities of high school life, including the well-meaning but disruptive presence of Sam's boisterous friend, Dickson. Through shared literary passions, quiet moments of vulnerability, and gentle acts of kindness, Sam and Elliona slowly, carefully, begin to acknowledge the profound connection growing between them. "Subtle Resonance" is a story about the quiet power of observation, the beauty of understated connection, and the transformative journey of two introspective souls finding their voice and their heart in the gentle echo of another's understanding. It's a reminder that the deepest connections are often found not in grand gestures, but in the subtle, resonant moments that speak volumes.

Fractured Horizon: Shadows of the Apocalypse

Nova City, Earth - 2,150 A.D Ryne, an athletic teenager with a penchant for parkour, is trying his best to survive in a world that does nothing but punish him. Haunted by the sudden death of his mother six years prior, Ryne’s father forced him and his sister to move to the neglected and financially disadvantaged district known only as ‘Fracture’. Within this unforgiving environment, Ryne endures physical abuse from his father and psychological torment from his peers. All the while fiercely protecting his vulnerable younger sister. Just as hope fades, Ryne’s life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Brad and his group, kindred spirits who share his passion for parkour. As their friendship deepens, Ryne finds a sense of family among his fellow inhabitants of Fracture. However, a mysterious voice whispered in Ryne’s ears. [The apocalypse is imminent, one month remains.] With time running out, he must hold on to hope in the face of despair. As the countdown to annihilation unfolds, the mysterious voice sets various tasks for Ryne. When the time ticks down to zero, people across the globe manifest bizarre and extraordinary abilities while the rest of humanity transforms into grotesque and monstrous creatures. Ryne must confront his inner demons and make a choice—cling to the flickering ember of hope or succumb to the overwhelming despair surrounding him—all the while navigating a landscape plagued by mutant beings. ----------------------------------------------------- Author's Note: As you may know, I'm also the author of My Undeath, a reincarnation novel set in a fantasy world. It wasn't my best work, but I loved writing the story. I put a lot more time and effort into Fractured Horizon, and ironed out the details over the course of a year before writing and publishing it here. If you liked My Undeath, this novel has almost ten times more planning put into it before release. ----------------------------------------------------- Schedule: 7-15 chapters per week Chapter Length 1,000-2,000 words Disclaimers: 1. The 'Earth' in this world is not as we know it to be. Applying common sense is pointless. 2. There are not any planned harems. 3. Increasing powers/strength in this novel will feel similar to cultivation, but this is not a cultivation novel. 4. These creatures aren't zombies as you know them and will not be called such by the characters, but that's all I will say here. -------------------------------------------- Themes: fantasy, science fiction, zombie-like mutated creatures, adventure, dark, horror, survival. -------------------------------------------- Inspiration: Resident Evil definitely inspired the world. Growing up, I played the Resident Evil games and watched the movies. All of The Walking Dead never entertained me because it was mostly drama and hardly any tension. 28 Days/Weeks later, Resident Evil, World War Z, Army of the Dead, Train to Busan, All of us are Dead, Z Nation, etc. are all cemented in my brain as thrilling pieces of zombie fiction. -------------------------------------------- Support the Author: Please use coins/stones/golden tickets, or review my novel!

The arrival of Cosmic entity who called themselves the ‘harbingers’ unraveled the intricate threads of the Realm Lock woven by the primordial deity that had enshrouded the earth for eons. As mana began to surge forth from the depths of the earth, a transformative symphony enveloped the surface. People, touched by the ethereal currents, felt the infusion of strength, heightened intellect, and a newfound vitality coursing through their veins. A millennium of life was no longer a dream but a tangible reality, a remarkable chapter in the unfolding saga of human existence. The air shimmered with the emergence of extraordinary flora and fauna, adorned with enchanting abilities that defied the laws of nature. In the aftermath of the seal's release, humans praised the liberating harbingers while casting curses upon those who had bound them from the wonders of this newfound life. Yet, within the confines of what appeared to be a sealed fate, it was not the brilliance of a promising future that lay obscured, but instead, the ominous veil of an impending apocalypse. As the ethereal barrier weakened, insidious monsters, mana-hungry and drawn to Earth, unleashed havoc. A desperate struggle ensued, culminating in a relentless massacre that left the world in tatters. In the grim tapestry of destruction, Earth met its demise in the fateful year of 2108. Nonetheless, from the ruins emerged a glimmer of resilience. Human ingenuity, elevated by advanced development, found solace in the benevolent alliances formed with other races—elves, dwarves, halflings, and fairies.

In the face of adversity, is this truly the conclusion befitting the human spirit? No. Our narrative persists, an unwritten chapter awaiting its tale to unfold. From the remnants of humanity, the one survivor who became the monarch amidst the myriad powerful races scattered across the cosmos, unwavering since the day the seal was lifted, resolves to alter the destiny of their kind. The Ruler of the Future Supreme Planet decides to return in time in order to save humanity. The invincible and unconquerable Lord Ajita-Vikrama in the challenging era 3000 years in the future who is on the verge of dying due to combat wounds from heavenly beings, primordial beasts, and the extraterrestrial race yearns a poignant wish to witness a radiant future, where every human thrived in safety and serenity.

Lord Ajita, left no choice in his death bed, tries the impossible—battling with the God of Time Chronos and slaying him in order to restore the time order. He gains the primal heart of God, through which he can return in time. Will he be able to save humanity, or will history be repeated?

Rebirth as The Billionaire's Seventh Wife

Aurora Moon tragically dies in a car accident after a bitter argument with her cold-hearted boss, Alexander Graystone. By a miracle, God grants her a second chance, allowing her to rebirth as a young woman who shares her first name. Just as she believes this new life offers a fresh start, she is shocked to discover that she is married – as the seventh wife. To her horror, her husband is none other than Alexander Graystone. *** Excerpt: Something about this girl puzzled him; he couldn't ignore her curiosity. He had met countless beautiful and exceptional women in the past, but none had captured his interest. But this girl? He felt irresistibly drawn in whenever he looked into her mesmerizing blue eyes. He tried to act casual and calm beside her, but his anger always lingered in his mind because she shared the same name as the woman he had just lost. How could he call her "Aurora"? He couldn't! Every time he said it, it felt like a sharp dagger stabbing his heart. He didn't mind feeling hurt because he knew that Aurora's death was his fault, and he was willing to accept that punishment. He couldn't let this young lady replace Aurora in his thoughts; he would hold onto that feeling forever. 'No, I'm sorry, I can't do that. In my mind and heart, that name only belongs to Rory!' "Miss Spencer, that name is reserved for someone very dear to me. No one can take it away—not even you..." His warning sent chills down Aurora's spine. ... "What the hell, Alexander Graystone! That person is me, okay? I'm Rory... I'm Aurora Moon..." She wanted to scold him like that but held back while staring into his intense gaze. At this moment, she was overwhelmed with happiness to know how special she was in Alex's eyes. This was something Aurora had never imagined; all this time, she believed she was simply a maid, or butler at best, in his eyes. However, her happiness quickly faded when she heard Alex's following words. "So, please stop asking me to call you that. I won't do it unless it's necessary!" Aurora froze, her eyes following him as he left the room. She felt confused, unsure whether to be happy or sad about his attitude. She felt happy because she had become special in his eyes, yet she was also sad because she couldn't tell him the truth.
