TIME, TARZAN AND TERRIBLE IDEAS.

Time, Tarzan, & Terrible Ideas is a sci-fi comedy action-adventure mystery thriller that begins with a terrible... but groundbreaking... mistake. Dr. Milo Finch, a brilliant, anxious young scientist with more intelligence than common sense, successfully invents a time machine. During what is supposed to be a short, observational test run, Milo is violently thrown into the distant past and crash-lands in the heart of an untouched jungle. There, Milo makes an impossible discovery: he has landed in the era... and the world... of Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle. Far from a myth, Tarzan is intelligent, perceptive, and deeply connected to the natural world. Milo’s arrival immediately disrupts the balance of the jungle. His futuristic technology destabilizes time itself, attracting armed hunters and anachronistic forces that should not exist in this era. As Milo struggles to reconcile scientific logic with the terrifying reality that he may have broken history, Tarzan recognizes the danger Milo represents... and the necessity of his survival. The unlikely duo forms an uneasy alliance: Milo brings chaotic future knowledge, comic book references, and reckless innovation; Tarzan brings unmatched physical skill, strategic instincts, and the jungle itself as a weapon. Together, they uncover a growing mystery: someone else has learned to exploit time travel, using the past as a battlefield and resource. What begins as a survival story quickly escalates into a hidden time war, with Tarzan’s jungle as ground zero. As paradoxes multiply and reality begins to fracture, Milo must find a way to repair time before it corrects itself violently... by erasing everything in its path. Blending sharp comedy, high-energy action, and escalating thriller elements, Time, Tarzan, & Terrible Ideas reimagines a classic legend through the lens of modern sci-fi, exploring destiny, responsibility, and the consequences of asking “what if” one time too many.

Mordred's Rebirth

This story is kind of based on the Arthurian legend. ******* He was called many things. Bastard, the False King, The Traitor, Treacherous Knight. Sir Mordred was a villain, one who according to the prophecy of the grand wizard Merlin, would destroy the kingdom of King Arthur Pendragon. And he did but at the cost of his life. As he lay dying on the bloody ground of Camlann after the mighty clash between him and Arthur, a bloody tear fell down his face. All he wanted was to be acknowledged by his father but all the things he did eventually led to disaster. Now with death’s cold hands grasping him, he hoped for a short peace before the fiery rings of hell. But that was not the end of his journey. ******* “Hold up.” “What is that infernal noise?” “Oh my goodness! It's driving me crazy! And it's not stopping!” Mordred sprang awake, slamming his fist on the digital alarm clock on the nightstand. 'What in Merlin's Beard is happening!?', he thought when he realized something. Well, a lot of things. First of all. How the heck is he alive? Second. What is a digital alarm? That's when memories that didn't belong to him flooded his head. They felt familiar but everything was wrong. How the heck is Morgan Le Fay his sister? She was his aunt! And how is the wizard Merlin so young! “Oh. I get it now”. He, Sir Mordred has been reborn in the body of a different version of himself, in a modern and futuristic world where he is the youngest son of Arthur Pendragon. But even in this world, He is the hated son of the High King. "Now what?", Mordred realized that the world he is in now is different from his previous one, with the only familiar details being the names of the people he knew. “Oh? Are you still reading?” Mordred smiled, looking at the readers. “Well, how about you join me on this new crazy journey in a crazy new world of heroes, villains, monsters, and even gods?” “Are you ready?” "Let's go!" ********************************************** The story is loosely based on the Arthurian legend. I am only using the popular names but the plot is different. The story is purely fictional with a few things from the actual legend being incorporated along with some stuff from other popular works. The characters may have different personalities from the original ones from the legend. There will also be names that may seem quite familiar as well. The cover image doesn't belong to me.

Project Axioma [HIATUS]

In Aethelgard, a world composed of drifting continents and monolithic stone cities, power is everything. Yet, power here is not derived from mystical sorcery, but from Axiom—the cerebral capacity to manipulate the laws of physics in real-time. The elite can rend space, invert gravity, and command thermodynamics through sheer mental computation. Elian Laurent is the "trash" of this perfect system. Born as a Zero, Elian possesses no ability to project Axiom. His life is a mere struggle for survival in the derelict slums of Sector 9, alongside his younger sister, Miya Laurent—a prodigy blessed with a rare, untainted talent. Their fragile peace is shattered when Inquisitor Valerius, the right hand of the World Government, arrives to conduct an "Induction." Miya is abducted to serve as a "Living Processor"—a human battery destined to maintain the stability of Aethelgard’s skies. Helpless, Elian can only watch as his sister is dragged toward the heavens, leaving him bloodied amidst the ruins of his workshop. However, in the depths of despair and burning rage, something inside Elian’s mind fractures. Elian does not gain the power of Axiom. Instead, he is cursed—or gifted—with a terrifying vision: he begins to see the glitches in every formula of reality. He realizes that his world is not an infinite universe, but a closed curve—a gargantuan scientific experiment known as The Closed Variable. Joined by Caelus, a mysterious mentor who fights using the mathematics of probability, Elian embarks on an impossible journey. From the steam-choked lower districts to the crystalline spires of Sector 1, Elian fights not with brute strength, but by hacking the god-like attacks of the Inquisitors. He has only one goal: To reach the highest peak, rescue Miya, and shatter the false sky into pieces—even if he must prove that all of humanity is nothing more than a variable meant to be deleted by the Creator.
