Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. He makes decisions that those interested in hero complex protagonists may not find pleasant. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

F-Rank Beast: The Heroine's Useless Partner

"When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back." Yandere MC - yes Weird and mysterious protagonist - yes Harem – no (absolutely not) Single female lead – yes Fantasy world - yes Academy life - yes Well-written, coherent story - yes An author who loves lemon tea - yes _ _ _ In the Empire’s most prestigious academy, a single moment can change the course of an entire life. Alicia Emberlune is the last remaining descendant of a bloodline despised by the Empire, the legendary Witch Clan. For her, entering Aethelgard Imperial Academy is not simply a step toward education. It is a fight to prove that she deserves to exist. On Soul Binding Day, the creature she calls forth will determine her destiny. As extraordinary students summon radiant and powerful beings of S and SS Rank, Alicia’s hope wavers. When her turn finally arrives, something appears that no history book has ever mentioned and no scholar has ever witnessed. A small boy with a human appearance sits silently at the center of the ritual circle. His skin is pale as death and his eyes are entirely black, devouring light like a void. The measurement orb does not react to him at all. The judgment is delivered with merciless clarity: F Rank. A humiliation so rare that the Academy has not recorded a similar incident in more than a century. Alicia becomes the target of ridicule and escapes the auditorium in tears. She does not yet know that this strange child is not a creature like the others. He is a being torn from another realm, an existence without name or origin, drawn to her by an instinct older than memory. To this child, Alicia is light, warmth and the only piece of truth in a chaotic world. Even after being rejected, he continues to seek her with silent and unwavering determination. As he wanders the Academy, something ancient and dangerous begins to awaken within him. This is a tale of strength, hatred and destiny reshaped by an unexpected bond. Alicia cannot yet imagine that the child she summoned, the one the world labels as F Rank, may in fact be the beginning of a nightmare powerful enough to shake the foundations of the Empire.

Cryptomining Supervillain

Wondered if a cryptomining app would make you a Superhero..or villain? Damen Dark is an unfortunate orphan trapped in a cruel household, forced to endure the abuse of his uncle, his family, and a world that seems determined to break him. One ordinary day, he receives a mysterious link on his phone advertising a new app—DemCoin, a cryptocurrency mining program. Damen knows it’s probably a scam. But curiosity gets the better of him. At first, the app seems harmless. It “mines” coins by targeting living beings—stray animals… and people. With little expectation, Damen uses it as a private outlet for his bottled-up anger, siphoning coins from those who torment him: his family, his classmates, the bullies who rule the streets. It feels like justice. It feels good. But DemCoin is far more than a mining app. As Damen accumulates enough coins, hidden features unlock—features that allow him to target individuals and steal their powers. What begins as survival turns into temptation, and temptation into transformation. With every stolen ability, Damen grows stronger… and more dangerous. Now faced with unimaginable power, Damen must choose who he will become. Will he take revenge on a world that never showed him mercy, or rise as a hero to protect it? The truth lies somewhere in between. In a cruel twist of fate, Damen soon realizes the irony of power: the stronger he becomes, the greater the threats that hunt him. And worse still, DemCoin is not just a tool—it is a force, subtly guiding his path. Whether he knows it or not, the app isn’t shaping him into a savior. It is forging a supervillain. And Damen Dark may have no choice but to become exactly that.

DC: Symbol of Dread

This is a rewrite of my fic DC: Symbol's Rising. I'm not happy with how it ended up, so this is a do-over. I actually have vision and direction for it now, so DC: Symbol of Dread should fare a lot better in my heart. As can be seen in the tags, this work is primarily wish-fulfillment. Still, I'll do everything in my capacity to actually make it a good story. Also that cover is temporary while I get to drawing a new one. Actual Summary: A dead man is requested to test out a higher being's pet project—that project being a leveling system. To that end, he is sent to a universe of his choosing and is made to take it over for his benefactor. He is 'spawned' in Gotham to begin his mission for power and conquest, along the way being granted the Quirk known as One for All to help him get started. What to expect: • Graphic violence past the preliminary chapters. • The female lead is an OC because I made her as a pair with our protagonist... but don't worry about that. We have a lot of room for DC's resident heroines. Some 100% inclusions are Oracle and Raven. Is this a harem? Fuck it, it is. Yeah, it's a harem now. A small one, though. • Smut. A lot straight, some yuri because I love when girls love girls. • Our protagonist will gain monster forms, so a lot of monster×girl. • Multiverse after dealing with some of DC's most malevolent menaces. • AU divergence—Gotham is a bit different from usual, and Batman isn't braindead like how most like to depict him.
