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 …

Overseer - [Psychological Urban Fantasy]

Every criminal in Anderis dreams of being hired as a Receiver for the Syndicate. And for good reason: they'd be guaranteed work and pay, gain a fearsome reputation, and, for those few gifted with supernatural abilities, they'd be granted free rein to use their powers. However, for the former-office worker—codenamed Rookie—the Syndicate's Retirement Scheme is all that matters. "50,000 shares. That's all I need to erase myself from the outside world. Past, Present, and Future... I'll leave it all behind." But with tensions rising between the nation's factions, rumblings of another War, and the headache-inducing voices he keeps hearing—cracks have formed in the thatched walls of Rookie's life, making way for his past to come pouring through. One dreadful wave after the other. Will Rookie attain the freedom he desperately desires? Or will he instead be drowned beneath the crushing tides of his past? - Current release schedule will be daily: from Monday to Friday at 17:30 GMT. - Backlog is about 250k words. So this story won’t be disappearing/going on hiatus for a good while! Cover Art by @NadiaDibaj

I Can Extract the Plot ( As a Trash Side-Character)

Caelen Vance was supposed to die in Chapter One. Not metaphorically. Not “almost died but awakened hidden powers” died. Actually executed. Publicly. By axe. Unfortunately for the plot, Caelen remembers the game he reincarnated into. And unfortunately for the world, he just unlocked the single most broken ability imaginable: Endless Concept Extraction Touch anything. Steal one of its concepts. Permanently. Sharpness from swords. Durability from shields. Intent to Kill from monsters. Later? Luck. Identity. Memories. Even Divine Authority itself. There’s only one catch: He can only extract once every 24 hours. Now trapped inside the brutal dark-fantasy RPG Apocalypse: Reforged as a talentless noble bastard with a dead mana core and a 30-day countdown to execution, Caelen has exactly one goal: Survive quietly. Get rich illegally. Avoid every main character. Retire before the apocalypse. Naturally, everything goes horribly wrong. The future Ice Tyrant overseeing his execution becomes suspicious of him. The regressed heroine meant to save the world thinks he’s a timeline-breaking demon. A terrifying demon assassin starts living inside his shadow after he accidentally frees her from slavery. And a merchant genius keeps trying to convert emotional intimacy into legally binding business contracts. Now Caelen must survive political conspiracies, eldritch horrors, noble assassins, and the increasingly violent cold war between four dangerously competent women all while pretending he is absolutely, definitely, completely normal. Which becomes difficult after he accidentally removes a monster’s “Intent to Kill” and gives it an existential crisis. After all… It’s hard to stay a background character when you’re secretly stealing the concepts holding the world together.

Author's World [Transmigration, Magic, Author in His Own Novel]

I was just your average author, who struck gold during the pandemic with the debut of my novel "Fever War". But I made a mistake! "I made a bet." Dropped into a withering dystopia. A reimagined version of Earth after COVID-19, where some patients began gaining supernatural powers and magic. The future of humanity had changed forever. Wars were fought not solely with military technology, but supernatural soldiers fighting against each other. And then they came, aliens from the other world. And they were far better at using magic than all of humanity. War against aliens was not as simple as it seemed. Governments, secret cults, & ancient families all want one thing—Control. But I will control my own fate, I will ▮▮▮▮ this place and ▮▮▮▮. How? Because I wrote this story—I am this World's Author. --- What to expect: - No OP protagonist. As it takes time and training to become strong together with a very unique power system. This is the author falling into his novel trope, but with a twist. - No Harem, set in a futuristic 22nd century Earth filled with advanced technology and magic. - The beginning is slow as I am still developing my writing style. I am power-system enthusiast (Not LITRPG, but hard and logical magic system) kind of an author. So, please bear with me. --- This story is also available on RoyalRoad, ScribbleHub and Webnovel.
