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.

Kazuka

In a world where the sky remembers every sin ever committed beneath it, peace is nothing more than a fragile lie. Kazuka lives in the quiet mountain village of Arashima, a place untouched by war and forgotten by history. Like many boys his age, he dreams of adventure but expects a life no greater than the one his parents lived before him. That illusion shatters the night a creature born from a broken realm descends from the heavens and turns his home into ashes. Dragged into forces far beyond his understanding, Kazuka awakens a power long thought erased—a legacy bound to ancient pacts, shattered worlds, and a truth the world buried out of fear. Marked as a bearer of something both coveted and cursed, he becomes a target for factions that rule from the shadows: empires built on blood, hunters sworn to erase his kind, and beings that should not exist in the waking world. Forced to flee, Kazuka begins a journey across dangerous lands where survival is never guaranteed and strength is earned through pain. Each battle pushes him closer to the truth of who he is—and further from the boy he once was. Along the way, allies with hidden motives and enemies with twisted convictions blur the line between salvation and destruction. But power alone will not save him. As ancient seals weaken and the sky begins to fracture once more, Kazuka must confront the question no legend dares to answer: is he meant to stop the coming collapse… or is he the key to its completion? In a world where fate is written in blood and memory, Kazuka is a tale of loss, growth, and defiance—an epic fantasy adventure where every step forward risks awakening the end of everything.

Spiderball

When a mysterious relic known as the Spiderball crashes into Kairo City, the world unknowingly steps into a new era of human evolution. Sixteen-year-old Kade Orion survives the Spiderball’s violent Binding, awakening the Web—a latent human energy system fueled by pressure, instinct, and willpower. The power enhances physical abilities but comes at a brutal cost: every use strains the body, causes recoil, and risks permanent damage. Most humans do not survive awakening. Kade does, but survival makes him a target. The Council of Web Authority, a covert organization that regulates awakeners, moves to contain Kade under the command of Nyx Vale. At the same time, rogue awakeners—humans who reject control—emerge, led by veterans like Raze, who believe awakened power should rule openly rather than hide. As Kade is forced into combat and training, he learns that strength without control leads to Web Fracture and eventual collapse. Power responds to emotion, making anger and fear dangerous allies. Each battle leaves lasting injuries, pushing Kade closer to losing control of himself. While the Council tightens its grip, independent factions rise across the world, and awakeners begin to appear openly. Ideological conflict erupts between regulation, freedom, and destruction of the old world order. Kade becomes a symbol none of them fully control. As signs of Web Collapse surface, Kade faces the truth behind the Spiderball: it was never meant to create heroes, but to filter humanity through survival. In a world on the brink of exposure and war, Kade must decide whether power should be suppressed, controlled, or destroyed entirely. Spiderball is a long-form battle anime novel focused on human evolution, discipline, and consequence—where strength is earned through pain, restraint, and choice, and every victory leaves a scar.

The 0th Law:The Only Glitch in a Perfect World

[SYSTEM ALERT: The Seven Axioms govern all existence.] Axiom 1 (Mass): Matter is constant. You cannot create. Axiom 6 (Probability): Outcomes are locked. Miracles are prohibited. Axiom 7 (Authority): The Spire is eternal. The Gods are absolute. In New Terra, reality isn't just harsh; it's hardcoded. The weak are farmed as livestock, their "Awakening" nothing more than a bio-beacon for predators. The strong are merely leashed dogs, bound by the very laws of physics dictated by the false Gods atop the Spire. You obey the code, or you are deleted. Cade was supposed to be deleted. Discarded into the radioactive Sea of Death as a failed experiment, he was meant to rot in the mud. But the Spire made one fatal miscalculation: They didn't realize they had thrown away the world’s only Administrator Key. Cade awakens with the 0th Law—a forbidden logic bug that grants him terminal access to the source code of reality. An S-Rank Enforcer orders him to kneel? [Logic Overwritten: Gravity Inverted.] The Enforcer is crushed by the sky. A barrage of sniper fire aims for his head? [Parameter Modified: Kinetic Energy = 0.] The bullets drop like dead flies. The Will of the Gods? [Error 404: Authority Not Found.] Accompanied by Jinx, a manic, heavy-metal Valkyrie with a penchant for high-explosives, Cade begins a bloody ascent from the rusted slums to the gilded apex of the Spire. But a darker shadow looms over his path. Every time Cade rewrites a rule, a crack appears in the foundation of the universe. He isn't just killing Gods; he is playing a game of chess against a reality that has already predicted his every move. Is Cade the Savior who will format this broken world? Or is he the Final Paradox designed to delete existence itself? "They told me the rules of this world are absolute." Cade wipes the blood from his pale face, his pitch-black eyes glowing with golden code. "So I decided to rewrite them." [What to expect:] OP Protagonist: Logic-based powers, not just "hitting harder." Grimdark World: A visceral, R18 cyberpunk dystopia with high stakes. Zero Mercy: An anti-hero who deletes his enemies without hesitation. Epic Mystery: A grand conspiracy involving the true nature of the 0th Law.

CHAINED IN THE MAFIA HELL'S WATCH

I, Nate Cole, Captain of CSI, am damn fucking good at my job. I followed the law, trusted the evidence, and never let anyone distract me… not even the criminals I locked behind bars. Until Adrian Blackwood was forced back into my life, the dark, ruthless, devastatingly handsome Mafia Boss serving a twenty‑year sentence at Hell’s Watch, the city’s most notorious high‑security prison. A fortress built to cage mafia lords, serial offenders, and corrupt officials, and a place where even the guards whispered about inmates who ruled empires from behind steel bars. And he was exactly the kind of man I was raised to despise. “You’re the one who came to me, Nate Cole… what makes you think I’ll cooperate with you or that you can resist me?” His gray eyes smoldered, daring me to look away. I leaned back, meeting his gaze evenly. “Resist you? Please. You’re a bastard behind bars. I don’t do fantasies… and I don’t entertain criminals.” He smirked, stepping closer, voice low and teasing. “Criminals, maybe… but you look like someone who enjoys losing control, and I bet, I can make you beg.” He was the key to a case I couldn’t solve without him, and every glance, every word, every brush of his presence set my pulse racing. His control was intoxicating, and his power is undeniable. “I will break you beautifully, completely, and only into mine,” he whispered, a dangerous promise that shattered every rational thought in my head as the sizzling chemistry and attraction rose between us. I was supposed to stay professional, fucking resist, but some chains weren’t meant to be broken… and some temptations weren’t meant to be denied. Adrian Blackwood was my enemy, and falling for him might have been the most dangerous, most thrilling crime I’d ever committed. I had no idea which one of us was going to survive the darkness… me or him or the fucking world was going to burn.

Adrien replied as he squatted, cupping my chin harshly on his palm. “She is definitely a spy, let's kill her!" Davian roared, stretching his claws, his stance ready to slaughter. “Don't Davian!" Aidan the oldest amongst the quadruplet echoed, “That’s all the more reason we should keep her close, letting her die is to easy.” He turned to the guards beside him, “Take her to the Pack, she is our Personal maid."
