Zero-Stat Hero Cast into Hell, Returns with Elf to Reclaim World

An absurd death tore him from his world… and cast him into another where the sky burns and the gods were chained by their own arrogance. He is reborn in a brutal kingdom divided by corrupt empires, hypocritical religious orders, and creatures that hunt in the night. He has no legendary bloodline. No sacred sword. Only a forbidden mark engraved upon his soul. That mark is the key. In the depths of the world, a sealed goddess waits. She cannot hear prayers. She does not answer rituals. She grants no miracles. She can awaken only by the will of her chosen… her sole master. When he breaks the first seal, something shifts in the balance of the world. The novel follows his rise from the rawest form of survival to absolute dominion. We will see him forge pacts with witches who toy with ancient fire, challenge holy orders that hide horrors beneath white robes, face demons who long to devour him… and ultimately kneel before him. Every bond he forms strengthens the goddess. Every intimate alliance unlocks a forbidden power. Every betrayal feeds his ambition. But this is not merely pleasure and conquest. The goddess is not a reward. She is an ancient will, possessive and intense. She protects him. She claims him. She shapes him. And the more she awakens, the clearer it becomes that she does not seek freedom alone… she seeks dominion. Empires will fall. Cults will rise. Holy wars will ignite. And the protagonist must decide whether he will control the divinity… or become the avatar of her will. Obsessive romance. Political drama. Bloody battles. Relentless power escalation. Desire, betrayal, and divine ambition woven into every chapter. This is not the story of a hero chosen by the light. It is the story of the man who chose to free the darkness… and turn it into his greatest weapon. If you want to witness a throne born in the heart of hell, this novel will not let you go.

The Unicorn's Forest

While the issue about my writing ability has been resolved, it took longer than I'd have liked and now I need to extend the hiatus period on this book as I reread everything I've written on this book earlier than I'd planned. I will at least be proofreading the chapters and will update them as I work on it. In addition, I'll see if there's something I can do about the first 13 chapters on making them shorter without having to rework all later chapters. Thank you for your patience on this matter. Vol 1: The Unicorn's Forest Charlie Rivers is a 14-year old girl who is trying to get through high school without being noticed when she finds herself hearing a voice asking for help when she is only one of two who can hear it. She agrees, despite the fact the other person is someone she doesn't like. When she meets the 'voice' that needed help, she learns that it's a unicorn, yet she's the only one who seems to be able to see the horn. Everyone else thinks it's a horse. Charlie also learns that by having agreed to help the unicorn, she'd gotten herself involved with a group of friends, including the other person who can hear the unicorn, that she hadn’t been really involved with before. Not only is it changing her normal schedule drastically, given she hadn’t hung out with anyone before, but even her personal space seems under attack at times. As she continues to help the unicorn, she funds that going back to how she was isn’t as attractive as it had once been, before she was helping the unicorn but also she wonders if she really would want to. *Minor spoiler in the synopsis for vol. 2 if you haven't read vol. 1* Vol 2: Tip of Other Worlds Charlie and her friends begin traveling to other worlds in search of the world that the griffin canyon connects to. While they do that, Charlie finds herself torn with wanting to grow her relationship with Alex and beginning the expedition through different worlds. Then as the expedition begins, she finds more than she ever expected to find on other worlds, but ever in the back of her mind is the dream she had in which Beth, her best friend, dies in. A dream she's determined to keep from happening, even if she has to sacrifice the friendship that's come to mean so much to her. *Minor spoilers in vol. 3 synopsis* Vol. 3: Acclimating to a New World Charlie leaves her friends and is taken by The Lost. Her friends continue on and encounter a family who has the same disease they had just recovered from. While helping them, they learn about how this world is that of a matriarchal society and has been since ancient times. What that means they can't say, only that it's going to be awkward. Charlie comes to after a while, feeling like her brain had been I'm a fog and that she had been in a waking dream, only to find she's naked and in a kind of cage where she learns she's been taken as a slave. While she has no idea how this happened, she's determined to find a chance to successfully get out of that situation. Mature content will be either through implications or will only extend to the edge of it. The cover art was ai generated. If anyone has any thoughts or comments about this book they'd like to say, but not leave a record of it here, I can be contacted at [email protected]

Harry Potter: Hermione’s Twin Brother

I died in a pointless robbery on a rainy night, convinced that I hadn’t done anything meaningful with my life. Instead of an ending, I woke up as a child in another world. In a different family. As Hermione's twin brother Reincarnated in the world of Harry Potter, with my memories intact and an unusual sensitivity to magic, I quickly learn that knowing the future too early is not a gift—it’s a responsibility. This is not a story about becoming overpowered or fixing canon. It is a slow, character-driven story about growing up again, carrying the weight of a past life, and learning when to protect, when to step back, and when to let others grow on their own. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my first time writing. I didn’t plan on publishing the chapter until I had at least a few ready, to make sure I’ll finish this story even if it turns out bad. Please leave comments to let me know whether you liked it or not—even thoughts you have while reading help a lot. If you want to help me more directly, you can add me on Discord and send suggestions privately. I will read everything.
