Born of the Evil Dragon

Born of the Evil Dragon is set in a low-magic world. The story unfolds in a once-great empire that has crumbled under its own weight—its power, splintered by internal corruption, external invasions, and a cataclysmic coup. At the heart of this world is Evius Draconis, a young man with a mysterious past, raised not by the fallen human royal family but by a mercantile elven family. His upbringing was shaped by the wisdom and ancient traditions of the elves, rather than the decadence of imperial royalty. While his ties to the empire are deep and complicated, Evius himself stands apart, forged by a different heritage. The story begins with the coup orchestrated by Casso Isetus, the leader of the Black Dragon Syndicate, who overthrows the emperor Edric Valedraco. Under the guise of saving the nation, Casso swiftly gains control of the palace and the empire, but his true motives soon become clear: power for its own sake. He betrays the emperor, murders the empress Aurelia Valedarco and the crown prince Dorian Valedarco, and installs himself as the ruler of the land. With the fall of the imperial family, the nation plunges into chaos, its people suffering under Casso’s brutal rule. Amidst this upheaval, Evius emerges as a figure of resistance. Though not of royal blood, he possesses the strategic brilliance and leadership qualities instilled in him by his elven guardians. With a small band of loyal allies, he embarks on a perilous journey to reclaim the empire, fighting not only against Casso's forces but against the very spirit of the empire’s destruction. Along the way, Evius uncovers the bitter truth: he is not so different from the tyrant he fights. To revive the empire, he must face the darkness within himself—his ambition, his willingness to sacrifice, and the terrible power that awaits him. Born of the Evil Dragon is an epic tale of revival and ruin, loyalty and betrayal, hope and despair. It delves deep into the complexity of power, exploring whether one can retain their humanity when faced with the temptations of vengeance and ambition. It is a story about the price of restoring a broken world, and the personal sacrifices required to achieve something greater than oneself.

Now, armed with the knowledge of three worlds, Adrian must lead humanity against the dimensional threat, uncover the mysteries behind the portals, and prepare Earth for a battle that spans across realities—all while reclaiming his place as the Player of the Void.

The Alien Within

The Alien Within Grinwall is no ordinary country, and Riverdale Academy is no ordinary school. Both are covert battlegrounds where powerful beings, hidden identities, and secret alliances shape the destiny of those who inhabit them. Among these is Tessa Caldwell, a Kaelrian alien with unmatched speed and a mysterious, water-like fragrance. Adopted by her teacher, Ms. Caldwell, Tessa tries to blend in, but her distinct blue eyes betray her origins to those who know where to look. Her life changes when Adrian, a fellow Kaelrian with a fiery aura and god-like confidence, arrives at Riverdale. Their connection is undeniable, but it attracts dangerous attention. When Adrian’s alien nature is revealed during a dramatic hospital incident, chaos erupts. Government agents are dispatched, and Principal Hammond is forced to defend Riverdale’s reputation, as students react with fear, admiration, and jealousy. Bridget Mills, Tessa’s rival, mocks her defeat by claiming she lost to an "alien," while others, like Oxlade and Karl, recount how Adrian saved them. Yet the growing tension at Riverdale is only a glimpse of greater dangers. The SSG organization, a sinister force with eyes on Tessa and Adrian, is joined by an even darker figure: Ikehara, the shadow of the sun god, and a loyal follower of Rhemon, a devil with a grudge against Solaris the true sun god, whose plans threaten the survival of the Kaelrians loyal to Solaris and Lunara (moon goddess). In the midst of a high-stakes escape from SSG, Tessa and Adrian encounter the mysterious Rhemonic people. The Rhemonics, regarding Tessa as the successor to their moon goddess, worship her, forging a powerful alliance. This new found bond brings new challenges, including a dangerous quest to gather ingredients to awaken the Rhemonic people from their limited lands and blocked memories, a curse wrought by Rhemon—a devilish force once thought to be their salvation. As Rhemon rises, threatening to control both Kaelrians and Rhemonics alike, Tessa and Adrian’s mission becomes a race against time. Along the way, Tessa uncovers her heritage as the daughter of Lunara, the moon goddess, and Solaris, the sun god. Adrian, the son of Solaris and a maid, shares a complex, divine bond with Tessa, yet both are haunted by the legacies they inherit. Amidst this conflict, Ashley Duve, a woman who shares the bed and secrets with Rhemon, fools Tessa into believing she was the moon goddess, and she entered her conscious thought, gradually eroding it away while she appears helpful and wise and seemingly innocent, Ashley’s actions soon reveal her true agenda. She uses her powers to impersonate the moon goddess, taking over Tessa’s body, manipulating events to help Ikehara gather the ingredients needed to awaken Rhemon. As Ashley’s allegiance becomes clear, Tessa and Adrian realize they cannot trust anyone, not even those closest to them. Against overwhelming threats, Tessa and Adrian must fight not only to protect each other but also to save their world. Grappling with questions of identity, loyalty, and love, their journey unfolds across various chapters of betrayal, alliances, and epic confrontations with cosmic powers. Only by unlocking the potential within themselves can Tessa and Adrian hope to survive this battle, protecting the very essence of their people and the world.
