MIST ISLAND: THE AWAKENING

The last order I gave before everything went black was clear—Retreat K - 06. There was nothing left to live for—until the voice returned. “System subject identified. Formal system introduction commencing. Choose to live forever as a divine entity or die a mortal. Morgan chose his daughter over a life of uncertainty He wanted his own happiness. The system commenced his search for the next subject Mist Island was meant to be classified. What truly happened there was never supposed to survive. Captain Dan is one of the few soldiers who made it out alive. What he witnessed on the island—humanoid creatures that learned, adapted, and fed on fear—left scars deeper than any wound. When the military buries the truth and moves on, Dan is ordered to do the same. But the island isn’t finished with him. After delivering the death note of his fallen commander, Dan is chosen by the Kasperlian Divine System, a force that claims humanity is already on the edge of extinction. The system offers power, growth, and knowledge—but at a cost. Its rules are absolute. Its judgment is unforgiving. And its purpose is clear: survival of the human race above all else. As strange signals begin appearing across the world, including a quiet town in France, Dan realizes the humanoids have escaped containment. They are no longer hiding in mist-filled islands—they are studying human society, wearing human skin, and preparing for something far worse. Branded as unstable by military command and removed from active operations, Dan finds an unexpected ally in Reeve, another survivor of Mist Island long believed dead. Together, they uncover a terrifying truth: the enemy doesn’t rush into battle—it waits, observes, and evolves. Caught between military denial, a ruthless divine system, and creatures that grow stronger with fear, Dan must decide how far he is willing to go. Because this time, if humanity falls, there will be no island to blame.

The Unwanted Prince of Prussia

Content Notice!!!! This is an alternate-history work featuring reincarnation and supernatural elements. It deals extensively with geopolitics, warfare, religion, ethnicity, imperial power, and morally complex decisions. The narrative portrays real-world inspired historical tensions and uncomfortable subjects without simplification. It is intended for mature readers interested in political strategy, historical speculation, and philosophical conflict. Not recommended for those seeking light entertainment. Although at the beginning there will be comedy, and even slight Romance. And there will be Family Building. --- Reborn as the Iron Prince In his first life, Zhang Ge was no hero. A former child performer turned engineer and logistics analyst, he understood war not as glory—but as systems, supply chains, and men dying because someone miscalculated fuel. Then he died. When he opens his eyes again, he is no longer in the 21st century. He awakens in imperial Germany — inside the body of Prince Oskar of Prussia, fifth son of Kaiser Wilhelm II. The year is 1904. Europe stands balanced on a knife’s edge. The Great War is ten years away. And this time… he remembers everything. Armed with knowledge of future catastrophes — trench warfare, naval blockades, industrial slaughter — Oskar refuses to become another ornamental royal. Instead, he begins reshaping the empire from within: Modernizing industry before rivals awaken. Reforming logistics before generals understand their weakness. Building dreadnoughts that rival Britain’s fleet. Forging elite forces that fight with tomorrow’s doctrine. Investing in technology decades ahead of its time. But power attracts enemies. Within the palace, jealous princes whisper. Within the army, old men resist reform. Across Europe, empires grow uneasy at Germany’s sudden acceleration. And in the shadows, forces that do not fly flags begin to move. Oskar does not dream of conquest. He dreams of survival. Yet the stronger he makes Germany, the closer the world drifts toward the very war he is trying to prevent. Can one reincarnated strategist alter the course of history — or will he simply forge a stronger empire for an even greater storm? --- Disclaimer This work is a speculative alternate-history fiction in which a modern man is reborn as Prince Oskar of Prussia and attempts to reshape early 20th-century Europe. While inspired by real historical figures and events, all characterizations, timelines, and outcomes are fictional and should not be interpreted as accurate representations of historical reality.

LOTR: Children of Refusal

At the Waters of Awakening, an elf is born with memories that don’t belong to this world. When the Valar arrive with their shining offer - salvation, eternal light, a paradise across the sea — he sees what others cannot. A price hidden beneath divine promises. Safety traded for freedom. So he does the unthinkable. He refuses. The Avari-the Unwilling, the Refusers, the ones history will forget — follow him into exile. What unfolds is not a tale of wandering wonder, but of building: walls raised against the coming darkness, weapons forged without divine guidance, a kingdom carved from nothing but will and determination. Because in Middle-earth, freedom is never free. And darkness always comes to collect. ━━━━━━━━ ⟡ AUTHOR’S NOTES ⟡ ━━━━━━━━ Lore-heavy beginning: The opening chapters introduce many Tolkien terms, names, and worldbuilding elements. If it feels dense at first, don’t worry - each chapter ends with a mini-glossary to help you navigate everything easily. Long-form chapters: The chapter count may look small early on, but every chapter is substantial (3,000+ words minimum, often much longer). AU & apologies to lore purists: This is an Alternate Universe kingdom-building story set in Tolkien’s Middle-earth. I apologize in advance to hardcore LOTR fans for any lore liberties or naming mistakes - I’m doing my best to honor the source material while exploring new possibilities. Constructive feedback is always welcome (kindly, please)! Give it a chance. The Avari are waiting!!!

LAZERON - THE POWER BALLS — CRCU PART 1

A prince from a distant galaxy—Lazeron. Born of royal blood, yet forged into a warrior by fate. He comes from a lineage where the crown weighs less than the responsibility it carries, and where the deepest scars are not given by enemies… but by blood. His elder brother— once his protector, now his greatest enemy. When Lazeron arrives on Earth to complete an unfinished mission, his brother follows, turning the planet into the battlefield of a royal war that spans galaxies. This is no longer a battle for a throne. It is a war for the survival of Earth itself. Earth— a world that was never his home, yet becomes his responsibility. A world that gave him nothing, but for which he is willing to sacrifice everything. Because sometimes… a prince is not destined to save his own kingdom, but to protect another world. CRCU — Cosmo Regal Continuum Universe Lazeron: The Power Balls is part of the CRCU (Cosmo Regal Continuum Universe). The CRCU is a vast fictional universe where multiple stories exist within a single, shared cosmic continuum. Each story carries its own title, journey, and intensity, yet all are connected through one evolving timeline. This universe is shaped by heroes and anti-heroes, royal bloodlines, power struggles, and emotional sacrifices. Here, power is not just strength—it is responsibility. Conflicts are not always born from enemies, but often from betrayal, ambition, and destiny itself. As the CRCU unfolds, each story reveals fragments of a greater truth. Every battle, every loss, and every decision leaves a mark on the future of the universe. The CRCU is not merely a collection of stories— it is a living continuum, where individual journeys collide to shape a much larger cosmic fate.

CHOKERS

Los Angeles, 2085. The world’s run by Command—a militarized authority that regulates the powered, the Armed, and promises safety from parasite-taken monsters called Disfigures. When a Breach erupts during a protest, Command blames civilians, triggers mass arrests, and turns “wrong place, wrong time” into life sentences. Seventeen-year-old Jaden Banks wants one thing: stay out the way. He’s a low-grade telekinetic with tired eyes and no interest in being a hero. Command doesn’t care. Swept into the Containment Intake Center, collared, injected, and stripped into white inmate gear, Jaden becomes a Choker—a prisoner deployed on the front lines in Collared Response Squads. Breaches don’t stop. The city doesn’t pause. Inside the system, people break into Certified CRS lapdogs… or become Leashed. Outside, Disfigures grow smarter, waves hit harder, and something behind the outbreaks starts to feel organized. The strongest fighters alive still can’t challenge the Disfigured King alone—because his ability, King’s Turn, adapts to anything that doesn’t erase him in one shot. Jaden learns fast. Too fast. As his power sharpens and his body hardens in custody, his calm stops being restraint and becomes a threat. Between school cadets chasing rank, Command officers enforcing quotas, and inmates fighting to stay human, the story fractures into multiple POVs—each one watching the same machine grind people down. Then Jaden decides the machine deserves to bleed back. And when the Chokers finally revolt, the question isn’t whether Command can stop them. It’s how many districts will burn before anyone can.
