The Book Of Anonymous

Set in an alternate 1830s world of steam, machinery, magic and hidden horrors. Who truly holds power? Those who awaken… or those who are chosen? Felix Corwin wakes up with no memory of the past month, a mysterious stopwatch in hand, and a journal containing cryptic warnings. Beneath the surface of the industrial world, the Awakened walk unseen, bearing mandates that grant power at a horrifying cost that accompanies wielding it. Dragged into something he does not understand, Felix is forced through the fractured lives of others, reliving them, changing them, or being consumed by them. With each descent, his sense of self erodes, blurring the line between survival and madness. The deeper he goes, the closer he comes to a truth that has long been rewritten. He had already died once This time… it might stay that way. These are the records of Anonymous. * * * Weekly Uploads on Tuesdays and Fridays Feel free to join my official Discord server, where I post regular updates on my work and upcoming releases. https://discord.gg/nCRg3TY5fH

ABSOLVE: The Dark Horse

He was arguing that free will exists when the world ended. One move from winning. A stone between his fingers. His oldest rival across the board, insisting that nothing anyone does is truly chosen — that every step of a man's life was laid down before he took the first. Then the room skipped, and Shen Huang woke facedown in black water on a world that had never heard of Earth. He did not panic. He counted. Wrong cold. Fog the color of a bruise. A crowd above him, waiting. Two seconds, and he understood he was dead, and elsewhere, and here on purpose. The third second was the one that should have frightened him. He was interested. In this world, power is inherited. The Vashari are born holding it — fire that follows the eye, minds that bend memory, futures read like a page. Everyone else is Nuun. The empty. The severed. Cattle with names, herded into a drowned frontier nobody else wanted. Shen Huang has no power. He will never have power. He has something worse. He has four thousand years of a dead world's warcraft locked behind his eyes — every siege, every betrayal, every annihilation history ever recorded — and he has landed among a people who have never seen a single one of them. They will call him the Nobody. Then the general. Then the King of the Empty. And when they finally find a word for what he is, it will not be a title. It will be a curse, whispered in a language older than their gods, for the thing that moves without being moved. He has done this before. He does not remember losing.

Journey of the Poison Sovereign

The Rushu village once existed peacefully, in the valley of the wailing phantoms. But one day, they were unannouncedly attacked. By a force unknown and immune to their poison arts. In the midst of this one-sided massacre, a singular boy survived and was saved by his lone ambition of exploration that had led him far from his village. And far too late back. Alone, and standing on the slope if the hill that bordered his village to the left. Only two things remained between the boy and air itself. Despair. And a deep longing for revenge!
