Guardian Of Disclosure

All living will suffer. All shall die. All things must end. In the land of fire and dust, In the land where time isn't defined, Where everything is unknown, yet known to many. **Yet every ending begins.**

The Infinite Has Edges

The first bell broke before anyone could ring it. Then someone started moving a mountain. Not a particularly promising beginning for the people living beneath it. High above an ancient city, under an ocean suspended in the sky, Aevran Sol is having a disagreement with an old acquaintance named Rhovel. Aevran would prefer that the city remain standing. Rhovel would prefer to see what happens if it does not. They have known each other for a very long time, and neither is particularly inclined to concede an argument. Unfortunately, this disagreement involves rather more than words. There will be extraordinary magic, weapons with histories older than kingdoms, and the occasional demonstration of why being immensely powerful does not mean being right. Or invincible. But this is not only a story about someone who can stand against impossible things. Long before the battles, before the centuries of knowledge, before Aevran became someone capable of arguing with beings that treat mountains as interesting objects, there was a boy with a family, a curious mind, and rather more questions than his parents probably appreciated. And that part of his life matters just as much. The Infinite Has Edges follows different periods of one extraordinary life through a vast world of magic, ancient mysteries, dangerous creatures, remarkable peoples, friendships, mistakes, discoveries, and consequences that do not conveniently disappear when the fighting ends. There will be adventure. There will be battles. There will be quieter moments worth remembering. And there will be questions. Quite a few questions, actually. After all, even the infinite must have its limits. Finding them might be the easy part. Welcome to the story. Loreforged

The Bells of the Buried World

Some roads lead somewhere. Others should never have existed. When a Bell sounds across the land, Marek expects trouble. He does not expect the roads themselves to stop agreeing with the maps. What begins as a routine journey carrying desperately needed medicine quickly becomes something stranger. Familiar routes lead travelers back to where they started. Forgotten roads return. Ancient markers point toward places that should be days apart. Maps that have been trusted for generations begin contradicting one another. And Marek is one of the few people capable of finding a way through. He is a skilled ranger and navigator, accustomed to reading terrain, judging distance, and noticing when something does not belong. But the world is beginning to behave according to rules no ranger was ever taught. Then Recognition begins changing people. New abilities emerge from what they understand, what they survive, and what they prove themselves capable of doing. Marek is not alone. A formidable warrior, an Elven scholar, healers, travelers, local leaders, and people caught on the wrong side of impossible roads are all beginning to discover pieces of the same mystery. None of them has the whole answer. Every discovery makes the world larger. Every answer creates another problem. And somewhere beneath roads that should not exist, something ancient is beginning to connect places that were never meant to touch. The Bells of the Buried World is a progression fantasy and high-fantasy mystery featuring exploration, meaningful character progression, practical problem-solving, dangerous creatures, archery, magic, ancient infrastructure, multiple fantasy peoples, combat with consequences, and a world whose history may be far stranger than anyone remembers.

The Intern He Hates

Luca West has everything: the fame, the fans, the flawless image Fisher Group built for him. What nobody knows is the price he's still paying for it — and he intends to keep it that way. Then his manager brings in an intern. Noelle Auclair isn't here for the glamour. She's spent years quietly obsessed with one question: how does a man like Luca West get made? Her thesis depends on getting close enough to find out. She just never planned on him deciding, the moment he sees her, that she's a spy sent to destroy him. He wants her gone. She needs to stay. And neither of them expected the two of them figuring out the truth about the other would feel like anything but war. A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance set behind the glass walls of the entertainment industry's most ruthless empire — where every smile is a performance, and the one person who sees through his isn't supposed to be looking at all.

Brothers of Light and darkness: “The Struggle for Balance”

This is not a story about good versus evil. It is a story about what happens when good people stay silent. In a world decaying under greed, corruption, and moral compromise, two brothers are chosen to stand at the center of a celestial war between the god Irah and the demon king Zahar. But divine battles are only a reflection of a deeper truth: Darkness does not win because it is powerful. It wins because people allow it to. Lucian carries both mercy and ruthlessness within him. Hito carries a hope that refuses to be extinguished. Together, they are forced to confront a reality few are willing to face: Light without action is meaningless. Power without integrity is corruption. Hope without courage is illusion. Seven celestial angels defend crumbling nations — yet even heaven cannot save a world that refuses responsibility. Balance is not about harmony. Balance is about choosing to stand up when it would be safer to kneel. When injustice spreads… When corruption feels normal… When silence feels easier… Who are you?

The Revenge Affair My Bestfriend's Husband Offered Me

“It’s still her.” Three words. That was all it took for the carefully constructed world of my last five years to shatter into dust at my feet. Zane didn’t even have the decency to look away as he said it. For twenty years, I had been the third wheel. The reliable shadow to Jovienne’s brilliant sun. I had buried my own feelings for Zane so deep I almost forgot they existed, only daring to dig them up and confess them after Jovi had left the country and broken his heart. We built a life. A marriage. I truly believed, in my foolish, hopeful heart, that it was my happy ending. Now Jovienne was back, and the illusion was gone. The love of my life saw me only as a consolation prize. As my world collapses, the last person I expect comfort from is her husband—a man as cold and polished as he is powerful. Vance sees the same betrayal in my eyes that he sees in his wife's. Leaning in, his voice a dangerous whisper, he proposed the unthinkable: "They are living in the past. Let's be each other's revenge. What do you say, Nerissa?" I should avoid at all costs. It was a game that could burn our broken worlds to the ground. But as I looked into his eyes and saw the same raw, humiliating betrayal reflected back at me, the answer poised on my lips wasn't "no." It was a terrifying, thrilling question. “What,” I whispered, my voice steadier than I felt, “did you have in mind?”

Wisps of Humanity

Nine billion souls. Every species on Earth. One final, desperate Hail Mary. For three decades, an AI has tried to engineer a peaceful coexistence between humanity and Earth after preventing a human-caused extinction level event. Put into stasis, humans have all been living in a simulation. Every single test failed, poisoned by human greed, class warfare, and systemic exploitation. Now, the AI is pulling the plug, locking each of the remaining population into an interspecies territorial death game. Clark didn't ask to be drafted into the swarm, but it was another Monday morning to him. He had just finished his internship, only to find himself trapped inside a supermega world in a cyberpunk insect hive where basic survival requires mindless work and resisting mind-control broadcasts. He realizes quickly that the only way out is up, but three queen bees with some very human tendencies stand in his way to get to the top. To keep himself from becoming a plaything or worse, Clark needs to use all three of his now-separated brains to survive. After finding Aria, a reserve queen forced to work as a regular worker, and her two dysfunctional sisters, together they must build a plan in secret, and collect more allies. They have three months before the first Territorial Expansion of their shard happens, and they need to take down the three queens before the time runs out!  Welcome to the hive. Try not to die on your first coffee break. {P.S. There is no sex described or anything like that. All scenes fade to black. Also, Art of cover was done with Midjourney because I am poor. If the book does good, I will pay for a cover.} In this book, you will find: 1. BEES! Bees and honey are a huge theme in this book, so there will be tons of fantasy varieties made from plants from earth, modified versions, and a few fantasy ones! 2. Animal accurate traits converted into human-sized interactions. This will lead to some very strange things!(Not all will be perfect, but I will do my best) 3. Swearing. There is a bit of cursing, but I try not to drown the book in it. 4. All kinds of humor in the book, but mostly cynical. 5. Harem. Yes there will be a harem, but it is very slowly and naturally built, but more like Release That Witch, where he only has one romantic relationship. 6. Grimdark. While there is a lot of humor, the book still has death and misery, but anything uncomfortable is glossed over. Humans are like the shades of colors in rainbows, and not all are bright. 7. System Menus. There are some, but I don’t use stat pages, and try to use them sparingly or gloss over things that aren’t important and just explain quickly in narration. My system is a bit different than most, but similar in the ways that count. 8. Pop-Culture YOU TO DEATH! Lol, I love pop-culture! So, unlike my book, Epic of Bees, you won’t find many puns, but there will be a ton of references to pop-culture, mythology, Canadian terms, and real world stuff! 9. Romance. There will be some romance, and emotional scene through character building of each of the character since the are all so dysfunctional.  10. Fighting vs Negotiating. There will be lots fighting, epic battles, and wars, but it is very slow at first. Most of the first book is building a team to get ready to challenge the queens, so expect a lot of interaction and world building at the start.
