ADTRAIC VERITY

The Adtraic Family, once the supreme rulers of the special world of Gincad, lived and prospered in harmony with all rulers of every element, owning a world that they could call their own. But one day, when the twilight of the floating kingdom of powerful rulers got swallowed by a mysterious radiance, the land, its people, its rulers, and even its legends were reshaped beyond recognition. Millennia pass, and the Adtraic family and their realm slip into myth, spoken of in whispers by those lucky enough to still remember the calamity—or pretend to. In this new world reshaped by the Engulfing Light, danger and ruin lurk around every corner. Two siblings, descendants of the lost royal family, Asahi and Aletha, step from the obscurity of hopelessness and abandonment, returning to their broken world with two single, burning purposes: to uncover the destroyer of their world and to recollect their family’s long-concealed past. Their quest will force them to confront treachery, forged loyalties, travel from nation to nation, fight monsters, and discover the very meaning of power in a realm where memory is malleable, legends are dangerous weapons, and special abilities are common. The afterimage of history bleeds through time. Asahi and Aletha must decide what reclaiming their heritage truly means—and whether they can restore their people, creatures, family members, and their world without becoming victors in a history of destruction that destroyed them in the first place. * * * * * * * * Cover art, map, sketches, and all other character illustrations are owned by me.

A devil's deal: from prison to his wife

*She was a prodigy.* A world-renowned pianist whose music captivated hearts across generations. Adults admired her grace, children dreamt of becoming her. She wasn’t just a musician — she was a symbol of brilliance, discipline, and quiet strength. Fame, accolades, and global reverence followed wherever her fingers touched the keys. But everything changed… because of one unforgivable lie. *One accident. One tragedy. One life ruined.* She didn’t cause it. She wasn’t even there when it happened. But the evidence said otherwise — evidence planted by someone she once called family. Her adoptive stepsister, consumed by jealousy and desperation, committed the crime. But it was she who paid the price. *An arranged marriage.* The only way to “make things right.” A private agreement, a silent punishment. Yet it wasn’t enough. Because the world demanded more. *Five years in prison.* Five years that shattered her name, her career, her dreams. Five years that erased her from the public's memory. When the gates opened, there was no applause. No welcome. No one waiting. Her adoptive parents turned away Her brothers disowned her. Friends forgot. Enemies rejoiced. The prodigy was no more — only a shadow, exiled from the world that once praised her. Alone. Homeless. Broken. Until *he* came. *Who was he?* A man cloaked in mystery and power. A man feared in silence and revered in whispers. A man with eyes like winter — cold, calculating, but piercing through lies. He didn’t offer her kindness. He offered her something far more dangerous. A second chance. But it came at a price — one that might cost her the last pieces of her soul. He didn’t want her love. He didn’t need her gratitude. He only needed *her* — the real her, stripped of innocence and fame. The one capable of rising from ashes and rewriting fate. “Be mine — and I’ll give you the world they stole from you.” In a world that turned its back on her, he was the storm she never saw coming. And this time, she wouldn’t play the piano. She would play the game.

Seeker's Codex: Light Born

Readers of Seeker's Codex: Beyond the Abyssal Line know William Lockhart as the White Knight: Guildmaster of the Order of the Crescent Halo, master of Light Muti, Elric's polished protégé. At sixteen, he's none of that yet. He's a royal cadet from a lesser Britannian branch, Crown Light just awakened and barely under control. His blades of radiance stutter, his shields crack when pushed, and the wild lunges that will one day become Lightstride are messy, desperate flashes that leave his joints screaming. Commanders parade him as proof the Crown is watching the front, but in the mud and smoke he's just a boy who can't ignore civilians screaming behind the lines. This spin-off picks up long before the Sixth Battle of Britannia, before Radiant Charge becomes a myth and before Master Elric ever calls him "protégé." We watch William at sixteen caught between palace and trenches, expected to shine like a symbol while his own conscience pulls him the other way. Every bad order he chokes on, every life he fails to save, every moment he chooses people over protocol is what slowly carves him into the man you meet in the main story-the White Knight who stands in Magnara, watching a new generation rise, determined that they inherit a better world than the one that forged him.
