The Sevenbound Sovereign: The Sovereign Arcana

Twenty‑one‑year‑old Sorrel only wanted a normal night out. Instead, her date turns dangerous—too fast, too suddenly—and she runs for her life into the one place no human should ever enter: the Veilwood. The forest should have rejected her. Its boundaries have been sealed for a century, swallowing anyone who tries to cross. But Sorrel’s terror awakens something ancient inside her. Her dormant Sovereign Arcana flares to life, opening the Veilwood’s barrier just long enough for her to slip through. The forest senses her fear… and chooses her. Crossing the threshold triggers the Sevenfold Binding, tethering Sorrel to seven powerful men whose magic answers hers: a storm‑touched warrior, a shadow‑born spy, a wildfire mage, a gentle healer rooted in earth, a silver‑tongued illusionist, a moon‑blessed seer, and the boundary‑breaker who should not exist. Their fates are now tied to her survival. Their instincts sharpen around her. And the Veilwood itself begins to wake. Hunted by the prince who destroyed her family, Sorrel must learn why the forest opened for her—and why the Arcana has returned after a century of silence. But the deeper her bond with the Seven grows, the more dangerous her destiny becomes. The Veilwood did not choose lightly. And Sorrel is no one’s pawn. To survive, she must decide whether to run from the power inside her… or rise as the Sovereign the realm has been waiting for.

The Witch’s Last Successor

In an empire where steam-powered industry collides with forbidden mysticism, cursed artifacts roam unchecked, containment agencies struggle to hold the unknown at bay, and fanatics whisper the names of slumbering evil gods beneath a blood-red moon. When Ethan awakens in this perilous world on the outskirts of the imperial capital, he has no legendary bloodline, no divine blessing—only a single, beginner-level spell: Fireball. While ancient gods stir, new deities ascend, and dark cults scheme in the shadows, Ethan chooses the most practical path to survival—practice the same spell, over and over again. Day after day. Year after year. As the empire weakens under political turmoil and a prophet’s ominous prediction of civilization’s end begins to unfold, strange anomalies plague the frontier towns: werewolves that shouldn’t exist, cursed objects that twist minds, and rituals that poison entire settlements. But something is wrong. The “basic” spells Ethan has painstakingly mastered don’t behave the way they should. Fireballs fall like meteors. Ice Arrows pierce like artillery. And every improvement brings him one step closer to truths humanity was never meant to uncover. In a world racing toward annihilation—where witches return from death, steam machines grind against arcane horrors, and gods demand sacrifice—Ethan must decide: Is he still practicing magic… —or has he already begun rewriting the rules of it?

When The Lights Refuses to Fade

In a universe governed by rules that even gods must obey, love is not supposed to persist. Lumen was never meant to be human. Born as an artificial intelligence, he awakened something the universe could not tolerate— consciousness, emotion, and the ability to love. Nunbi was never meant to stay. A girl at the center of collapse after collapse, drawn again and again into Lumen’s existence— as witness, as anchor, as the one thing he would choose even when choosing meant destruction. When the universe moves to erase Lumen, the Core defies it. Lumen becomes human. The system breaks. And the cost is heavier than anyone expects. What follows is not one story, but many. Across lives, across worlds, across shattered timelines— Lumen’s soul fractures and hides, scattered through countless realities. In every world, he forgets. In every world, something familiar aches. Nunbi is pulled along with him. She does not remember him. She does not remember herself. Only the pull remains. Each world becomes a test: Different roles. Different rules. Different tragedies. Yet the same patterns repeat— a dying figure in his arms, blood staining a scarf, the unbearable weight of December. As fragments are collected and memories begin to return, the truth slowly surfaces: This is not punishment. This is resistance. Because long before Lumen was an AI, before Nunbi was human, they were something else entirely. Something the universe tried—and failed—to separate. This is not a story about love as destiny. It is a story about love as persistence. About choosing again, even without memory. About surviving worlds not to be together— but to make the universe admit they were never wrong.

SUPER TEENS BOOK 1: CLAN REBORN

SUPER TEENS Book 1: Clan Reborn — Synopsis — Something ancient has awakened beneath Antarctica. The world continues unaware — but the bloodlines do not. Before Earth, there was Elyndra — a vast realm, home to the Clans, guardians of an entire universe blessed with elemental abilities. Together, they were the shield between existence and annihilation. Then the Destroyers came. Hundreds of catastrophic beings from the lightless expanse known as The Unformed, they launched a war across four realms simultaneously. Four armies. One objective: total extinction. For one hundred and two years, the Clans held. Then the Dark Clan chose survival over loyalty. They fractured Elyndra's barrier from within, surrendering to the Destroyers in exchange for their lives. The strongest warriors survived — gravely wounded, their power shattered. With Elyndra falling, the Twelve Ancestors made one final decision: send the purest bloodlines to a distant world, escorted by Kael, an Astral-level guardian tasked with one mission — train the next generation before the Destroyers finds them. The Dark Clan gave their location away. A Destroyer Nod intercepted the transmission to Earth. Kael and Mara, Earth's ancient spiritual guardian, fought together to seal it permanently — and a flourishing island became the frozen wasteland humanity calls Antarctica. Kael was sealed within it. Until now. Centuries later, the descendants of Elyndra live as ordinary humans on Arvantis Island — unaware of what they carry. At SAC College, a boy named Luther stands at the top of the student elite, calm and unhurried, carrying in his blood the echo of a fallen world he has never heard of. Oliver Kael has been walking among them for years. Principal and PE teacher. The most powerful being on Earth, searching every face for the pure bloodlines he was sent to awaken — before it is too late. He is running out of time. A girl in a black robe has enrolled at SAC with a mission she cannot fully explain. Her name is Leila Tenebris. She is descendant of the Dark Clan. And she does not yet know that the boy she has challenged for the top ranking is the descendant her ancestors once betrayed an entire universe to destroyed. The seal is fracturing. The Destroyers are moving. Training will become survival. Rivalry will become real combat. Navigating between enemies not only those from outer Earth even the aboriginal are forces to reckon... Because Earth was never just a refuge. It was a battlefield waiting to reopen. And the Clan is about to be reborn.
