Ascension of the Voidblade

When Kieran Vale dies an ordinary, meaningless death, he awakens in Eidolon Rift, a brutal reincarnation world governed by an omnipresent System that claims to grant power—but in truth exists to filter souls, grinding the weak into monsters and forging the strong into disposable gods. Branded an Anomaly from the moment of rebirth, Kieran is bound to a forbidden weapon—the Voidblade, a soul-devouring manifestation that grows stronger by consuming the dead. Each victory grants power, but at a terrible cost: the erosion of empathy, memory, and identity itself. The System does not reward heroism. It rewards survival—and survival demands cruelty. As Kieran navigates a world divided by warring factions—the rigid Vanguard Accord, the soul-harvesting Hollow Covenant, the merciless Astral Inquisition, the lawless Freebound, and the mysterious Choir of Silence—he becomes a destabilizing force none of them can fully control. Allies become rivals. Rivals become monsters. And monsters are often what the System prefers. Hunted by executioners, tempted by tyrants, and tested by rival champions both male and female, Kieran rises through blood-soaked dungeons and faction wars, uncovering the truth behind the System itself: a failed mechanism left behind by dead gods, designed to manufacture replacements through endless suffering. At the heart of the chaos stands Lyra Ashenfell, a Vanguard captain sworn to uphold the System’s order. Their bond forms slowly—through shared battles, quiet understanding, and unspoken choices—yet the System marks their connection as a flaw. Love becomes a liability. Trust becomes rebellion. Every step closer threatens to break them both. As gods begin to fall and the System tightens its grip, Kieran is forced to confront an impossible choice: ascend and become what the world demands, or reject godhood entirely and risk erasing himself from existence. Ascension of the Voidblade is a dark, long-form action fantasy about power that corrodes, systems that lie, rivals forged by circumstance, and a love that grows not in safety—but in defiance. It asks a single question across its vast journey: If a world is built on suffering, is it better to rule it… or to end it?

Death Can't Spell And I Have a Very Long Name!

Alistair Cornelius Archibald Fitzgerald Reginald Maximilian Pendragon the Third, of the Northumberland Pendragons Sushi, has three goals: Get rich Stay alive Never think about his dead family again Two out of three isn't bad. Orphaned at three, raised by a grandmother who saw the future and didn't like what she found, Alistair survived childhood through a combination of protective magic and sheer spite. His name isn't just absurd, it's a weapon. Each syllable is a ward against cosmic forces that marked him before birth. The only problem? When he actually died as a child, Death started filling out his intake paperwork, got bored halfway through writing his name, and just... forgot about him. Now seventeen years later, Alistair is a small-time acquisitions specialist (thief) working for a criminal organization that definitely doesn't know he's technically immortal due to bureaucratic oversight. They want him to retrieve a stolen artifact that contains fragments of primordial creation energy. Easy job. Good pay. Terrible consequences if he fails. But the artifact is more dangerous than advertised. The people hunting it are more ruthless than expected. And Death just realized there's incomplete paperwork with Alistair's name on it, which means eventually, inevitably, someone's going to have to write out that entire ridiculous name. Death would rather break cosmic law than deal with that. A dark fantasy comedy about ambition, survival, and why bureaucracy is the real cosmic horror.
