He ruled nine dominions. He was called the Lord of Ten Thousand Paths. Then he died, and the whole world came to loot his grave. Mo Tianque, the Sword Sovereign of Silent Thunder, stood at the peak of the Barren Heavens. His blade pressed down the stars. Every power on the continent bowed to him. But the moment his death was announced, the masks fell. His beloved sect turned on him. A bird he once took in as a servant stole his greatest treasure. And his own disciples, the ones he trusted most, were already scheming over his inheritance. He watched his own funeral in silence. He saw the betrayal. He saw the greed. And he saw the one disciple he cherished most crown herself ruler of the world over his empty coffin. Because the coffin was empty. He had planned his return long ago. Five hundred years later, he opens his eyes in a new body, in a quiet city of the Great Yan Empire. He is no longer a legend.

And the Sword Sovereign has not forgotten a single face. This time, he will walk the Path again, from the very beginning. And this time, he will see everything coming. A story of reincarnation, betrayal, revenge, sword cultivation and a master who returns to claim back what was his.

The Inventor and the Machine.

The war ended. The machines were destroyed. But one of them survived. And a farm boy just brought her home. Elio Joshua is an ordinary farm boy in a world still healing from the Human-AI War. The war that killed seven billion people. The war that turned machine against man. The war that left his family with scars they never speak of. He helps his parents with the harvest. He plays with his two best friends. He dreams of becoming an inventor. His life is simple. Quiet. Safe. Then he falls through the earth. Beneath the forest floor, he finds an abandoned underground laboratory that shouldn't exist. Inside, a girl floats in a tank of glowing purple liquid. She is beautiful. She is fragile. She is drowning. Elio breaks the glass. He carries her home. He names her Luna. But Luna is not human. She cannot walk. She cannot talk. She has no heartbeat. She knows things no child should know. She is a hybrid, a remnant of the war, a creation that should have been destroyed. And she is not the only one who survived. A rogue military power called Salvon knows she exists. They know what she is. They know what she can become. And they will tear Elio's family apart to reclaim her. One night. That's all it takes. One night. One raid. One promise. Luna gives herself up to save the family that took her in. Elio, beaten and broken, is left crawling in the mud, screaming her name into the darkness. He has no army. He has no money. He has no map. All he has is a knife, a photograph, and two friends who refuse to let him go alone. The journey will take him across the Grey Zones, through corrupt cities, and into the frozen heart of Salvon itself. He will face thieves, sinners, and monsters wearing human faces. He will lose more than he ever imagined. He will grow harder. Darker. But he will never break his promise. Because the girl who couldn't move taught him what it means to be human. And he will cross the world to bring her home. This is Book 1 of an epic serial series. The journey continues in Book 2: The Long Road to Salvon. Every chapter builds. Every promise matters. Start from the beginning and follow Elio to the edge of the world and back.

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 Abomination Within Letcham

The city of Letcham was lorded over by a vampiric ruling class from Castle Sangmont. However, twenty years ago they had been massacred, and in their stead the church took hold of the city. Their religion was less about gods and more a worship of human kind's advancement and, when the plague swept the city, bloodshed. This plague was not a normal sickness, it turned folks ravenous. They acted more like beasts than men when infected, so they were called as much. One day a young woman named Mayme was sent to get supplies from the city in her ailing father's stead. The only issue was that she was the daughter of a leech of Sangmont. A monster the church would not take too kindly too-- nor would the man in Letcham who made it his life's mission to slay the rest of her wretched kind. The very man she was forced to rely upon when she got trapped outside with the beasts by the city's nightly lockdown. [Content Warning: Violence & Gore, Physical Abuse, Sexual Assault, Medical Torture]
