The Greatest Hero's Illegitimate Successor

In a world where Superheroes are worshiped as gods and managed by ruthless corporations, 17-year-old Owen Frey has only one ambition: to remain invisible. Asthmatic, cynical, and an absolute coward, he knows that getting mixed up in Super business is the fastest way to end up as a red smear on the pavement. But the universe has a twisted sense of humor. Through a disastrous stroke of bad luck, Owen finds himself bound to a strange organic membrane. This unkillable parasite turns out to be the living suit of "Hope" the planet’s greatest hero, who mysteriously vanished. Worse yet: the suit has a brutal survival instinct, possesses uncontrollable strength, and flat-out refuses to leave him alone. Forced to juggle his high school finals, everyday bullying, a hopeless crush on the school's new prodigy, and a divine armor holding him hostage to go beat down criminals, Owen will quickly learn that behind the comic-book smiles lies a bloody, terrifying reality. He never wanted to save the world. Which is just as well he’s already trying to survive his own clothes. "I will be posting this story on Royal Road'

Healer's Touch (Deadly Touch book 1)

Llew’s father disappeared when she was eleven, leaving her orphaned, as far as she knew. Since then, Llew has learned to survive the streets of the gold-mining town of Cheer – full of opportunistic men and desperation. It’s a hard existence made tougher when Llew's so-called friend accuses her of murder, sending her to the gallows. Llew’s Aenuk ability to absorb life means she doesn’t stay dead for long, but she does leave a trail of death behind her. Escaping the hangman’s noose sees Llew fall into the hands of Jonas: the man with the knife and the Karan power to kill Llew’s kind. If Llew can nurture the attraction he develops for her, maybe she can keep that knife from her heart. But lurking in the shadows is Jonas’s half-brother, Braph: the man who has learned to combine Aenuk and Karan powers into infinite and addictive magical potential. Healer's Touch is a fantasy novel flavoured with a wild west setting, steampunk-like technology, enough romance to draw you in, horror to keep you hooked, and just enough sex to keep things spicy. The Deadly Touch Series: Healer's Touch Warrior's Touch Magician's Touch *May count as Romantasy, but the spice is pretty middling. Goes into dark themes, including torture & rape, but never between the main couple. The first chapters are brutal, but I had to start Llew off somewhere …

Origins of Blood

For thousands of years, the government lied, kept us hostage, and sold us unknowingly. Little did we know that these times would be the best for us all. The High-Bloods came through the firmament that veiled us in snow, and conquered everything. They shattered our false freedom, burned flesh from our bones, and feasted on us for sport. They enslaved us to be chained beyond Earth's soil—Hemorion, they call it their home. Now, we are forced into a society ruled by blood, where Kingdoms, slaves, and the deaths of beloved are as common as the light from Helios, one of their deities. Yet, whenever my eyelids close, I still see red—the light of us all stolen ... my brother’s and my own dying. But as my blood is red, my hope burns forever. I will kill them all. Note: this is a rewritten version of my already published first Volume, "Red Eclipse," of "Origins of Blood," and thus will be a revised edition with changes throughout the entire story, including prose, characters, worldbuilding, powersystem, and other elements.
