DARKHEART

In a world where the fabric of reality is fraying, an ancient prophecy foretells the arrival of a demon whose power is destined to annihilate all life on Earth. As whispers of his coming spread, panic grips humanity, forcing the distinct factions of Seraphites, Deviants, and humans to confront their own demons—both literal and figurative. The Seraphites, once revered as guardians, have become rigidly dogmatic, struggling against their own fears and doubts about faith. The Deviants, a society of outcasts mutated by demonic influence, wrestle with their monstrous natures and the primal instincts that threaten to consume them. Meanwhile, ordinary humans are caught in a web of chaos, trying to carve out a survival in a world where monsters roam freely. Entangled deep in the web of warfare is the demon in question, Tristan. Contrary to his role in the prophecy, his arrival on earth motivates him to seek freedom from the shackles of Hell. As the clock ticks toward the prophecy's fulfillment, Tristan is forced to fight against all factions, including his own brethren. Through epic battles and fierce self-discovery, Tristan learns that true evil isn't determined by one's origin but by the content of their heart. In Darkheart, the fate of existence hangs in the balance as the characters confront their worst fears and grow stronger, unlocking the potential within to become the ultimate force against the darkness threatening to engulf their world. THIS NOVEL IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT; PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT PERFECTION....

Music, Start!

In the city of Caelum Spire — a gleaming tower-metropolis suspended above the clouds of a world called Aethon — sound is power, and power is everything. Seventeen years after the Resonance Event, an inexplicable phenomenon that rewired a fraction of humanity to channel sound as a weapon, a tool, or an art form, the Awakened have reshaped civilization. They are soldiers, architects, healers, and tyrants. They are celebrities and criminals. They are, depending on who you ask, the next step in human evolution or the first symptom of its collapse. Kael Voss is neither soldier nor celebrity. He is seventeen years old, an orphan from the Lower Tiers of Caelum Spire, and the only thing he has ever wanted is to play like Seren. Seren. The Rhythmist. The greatest performer the city ever produced. The man who vanished mid-concert eleven years ago, leaving behind nothing but a single unfinished recording and a city that still hasn't stopped arguing about what it meant. Kael was six years old when he watched that concert on a cracked wall-screen in a Lower Tier shelter. He has wanted nothing else since. But wanting doesn't put food on the table in the Lower Tiers, and talent doesn't buy passage to the Academy in the Upper Rings. So Kael survives. He fights in underground rhythm duels for credits. He patches together salvaged instruments in the dark. He practices alone on rooftops while the city hums and glitters kilometers above him. Then one night, a fight goes wrong. A debt comes due. A door opens into a world Kael was never supposed to see — and he walks through it, not because he is brave, but because he has nothing left to lose.

The Devil’s Playground

Damian Tian is the most dangerous man on Earth. By twenty-eight, he has amassed a trillion-dollar empire that controls the global economy from the shadows. To the public, he is an enigma—a brilliant, beautiful tycoon who never ages and never loses. But Damian is not just a businessman; he is a weapon. Orphaned at eight when his family was brutally slaughtered by his father's rivals, the Vance family, Damian was pulled from the ashes by a mysterious immortal cultivator. Forged in the ancient arts of a master who has since ascended to the higher realms, Damian possesses power, speed, and a cold intellect that borders on the supernatural. He has returned to the mortal world with one purpose: Revenge. Elena Vance is the antithesis of everything Damian hates. The innocent, sheltered daughter of the man who destroyed his childhood, she possesses a kindness and gentleness that seem out of place in a world of cutthroat corporate warfare. When Elena is kidnapped by common street thugs, she never expected her savior to be the devil himself. Damian rescues her, but he doesn't set her free. Recognizing her last name, he sees the ultimate irony: the daughter of his enemy, delivered into his hands. He whisks her away to his obsidian tower in the sky, intending to keep her as a pawn—a "pet" to torment and a bargaining chip to break her father's spirit. Trapped in a gilded cage with a man who is equal parts psychopath and tragic hero, Elena should be terrified. And she is. But as she witnesses the loneliness beneath Damian’s cold exterior and the fleeting moments of humanity in his dead eyes, she realizes something terrifying: He is broken. While Damian orchestrates a financial and physical war to erase the Vance name from existence, Elena fights a battle of her own. She isn't trying to escape him; she's trying to save him. In a story of blood, billions, and ancient secrets, can the light of one innocent girl quench a fire that has been burning for twenty years? Or will Damian consume her in his quest for vengeance? He wants to burn the world down to get even. She just wants to be the reason he stops.
