"To tell you a story, you'd need to know how different things were back then. The world was filled with creatures who could destroy us at any moment. Some people even managed to control them, not that they stood a chance. Anyways, there were also gods and goddesses who sometimes watched over us-not all of them were good people, keep in mind. With that out of the way, let's begin..."

A world where monsters from every mythology roam—gods, demons, and beasts once thought to be legend. Humanity’s last hope lies in those born with the power to summon weapons from their souls, each one shaped by will and purpose.

When a mysterious force pulls strangers from across the globe into a frozen wasteland, they arrive with no answers—only their powers and the monsters hunting them. Forced to survive together, these unlikely allies begin a journey that will forge deep bonds... and reveal a hidden enemy that’s been watching all along....

Later on, a fractured soul battles the remnants of a power he doesn’t fully understand. Once a shadow of someone else, he now carries the weight of a past he never chose and a future he can’t outrun.

Alongside others like him—fragments of identity, warriors of circumstance—he faces a growing darkness that wears his face and speaks in his voice. A figure that doesn’t just threaten the world, but twists it, breaks it, and narrates it like a cruel story unfolding.

As allies become uncertain and enemies turn familiar, lines blur between reality and illusion, memory and manipulation. What began as survival becomes a slow unraveling of self, where guilt is weaponized, and peace is only ever temporary.

But even fractured souls can fight back.

Fifty years after the cataclysmic Second Jewel War, the Land of Spade has flourished under the legacy of Kaipo Kasumi, its once-fractured realms now united in an era of peace. But peace is a double-edged sword, for in the shadows of tranquility, a new and insidious evil stirs—one that threatens to unravel everything the heroes of old fought for. As dark forces emerge from the cracks of a fragile peace, the next generation of mages must rise to confront an adversary unlike any before. Will they uphold the legacy of their predecessors, or will the weight of history crush them? The fate of five universes rests in their hands, and their journey will test not only their power but the very essence of who they are.PS: If you haven't read previous series of The Land of Spade, it's totally fine! You don't have to be caught up and can read this as a totally new story, because that's what it is!Edit (01.30.2025) - Here are the current STORY ARCS!!!Chapters 1-24 -The Gathering Shadows ArcChapters 33-47 -The Shattered Council ArcChapters 55-72 -The War of Fort Vigilance ArcChapters 73-Current -The Sentient Arc

This is a series in the Counter-Terrorism universe set shortly before the events of Task Force 105.

The city of Deacon, once a peaceful city, now corrupted and terrorized by crime. In the city's time of need, one man is willing to step up to end the terror plaguing the city.

In the world of Veltara, two continents dominate the land, one that worships the goddess Seraphina and the other that worships the deity Vakros. Millennia ago, each deity blessed a hero from their respective nation, using them to lead their nation into a war against the other. However, this merely led to a stalemate, and a long period of a tense peace followed. In the present day, the descendants of the hero that worshiped Seraphina have turned from their intended purpose: believing themselves to be as gods and rulers. Despite hating the direction the family had gone down, the goddess is unable to remove her blessing, as it was permanent.

Enter Drystan, a young rogue on the run from the knights of the kingdom. After an encounter with the goddess, he is given the same blessing as the hero of old and his descendants, but with a directive: to end the reign of the family, either through peaceful means up to lethal force if necessary and take their place.

This story is under revision. I am currently rewriting the entire thing. Since this is the past version, I may continue to post the rest of the chapters.

Trusting people can be hard when there's someone trying to murder you on the loose. Especially when that someone tried to kill you on a trip only a few people were supposed to know about. Scarlett has to find out who is trying to murder her, but that's hard to do when she has so many people who are out to get her. And the fact that she's been known to be a ruthless ruler to her people doesn't help her case. With the help of a new friend and some old ones she starts investigating. Along the way she realizes she has loosened the reins on her feelings for her new friend, but will this affect her?

Too bulky for a sidearm, too small for a proper rifle—behold, the Half-Spec Blaster. Too heftty for a quick draw, yet underwhelming at range—versatile, but never truly mastering any single role. But that’s just fine. Embracing this peculiar weapon, I, Narwhal—station drifter, low-rank mercenary, and certified expert in staying out of trouble—have a dream. A dream of living simply. With my powers, I could challenge warlords, take on high-risk contracts, and shape the galaxy with secret knowledge. But I won’t. Work moderately, survive well—that’s the ideal life in the void! Small-time guild jobs. The occasional space hunt. Food that doesn’t taste like recycled rations. If I can be of some use along the way? Good enough. This is the tale of a man drifting through the stars, clinging to a blaster that never excels in any one area… and an adventure that avoids too much adventure.

Journey into the spellbinding world of Tilsim Hoshruba, a realm divided into three enigmatic regions, each brimming with magic, danger, and untold stories. In Tilsim Zahir, mortals and sorcerers live side by side, while in Tilsim Batin, the elite sorcerers and nobles hold sway over ancient secrets. But beyond them lies Tilsim Zulumat, where only the Sorcerer Emperor Afrasiyab and his kin—a witch, a sorceress, and other ancient beings—can tread. Here, the deadly Chamber of the Seven Awful Ones waits, hidden from mortal eyes but capable of unleashing destruction upon the entire realm.

In a land where gods such as Sameri, Laat, Mannat, and Jamshed are worshipped, an ancient prophecy foretells the coming of a son of Adam who will conquer Tilsim Hoshruba and bring an end to the tyranny of the Sorcerer Emperor Afrasiyab. Witches, warlocks, sorcerers, and sorceresses of royal blood and noble lineage vie for power within this enchanted realm, which stretches across vast kingdoms and mysterious lands.

Amidst this, beyond the borders of Tilsim Hoshruba, the legendary warrior Amir Hamzeh arrives in the kingdom of Koe Ateeq to confront Laqa, a self-proclaimed god who has taken refuge there. In an act of desperation, Laqa's advisor Bakhtiyar summons Afrasiyab's aid, leading the Sorcerer Emperor to send his arcane warrior Ejlaal to Laqa's side. But fate twists unexpectedly, and Ejlaal finds himself siding with Amir Hamzeh instead.

Meanwhile, Prince Badiuzzaman, the son of Amir Hamzeh, is captured by Queen Shararah, a sorceress queen of Tilsim Hoshruba, during a hunting expedition. Enraged, Amir Hamzeh resolves to invade Tilsim Hoshruba but learns through an ancient tome of Hamas that only his daughter's son, Prince Assad, can conquer the realm. With the trickster Umro Ayyar—Amir Hamzeh's childhood friend and master of disguise—by his side, Prince Assad sets out on a perilous quest to rescue Badiuzzaman and overthrow Afrasiyab.

As Umro Ayyar navigates the treacherous paths of Tilsim Hoshruba with his wit, trickery, and magical bag, Prince Assad faces danger head-on with the legendary Sword of Solomon. Yet, amidst these trials, fate brings him face-to-face with a mysterious figure whose deep blue eyes ignite a forbidden love—one that is as dangerous as it is irresistible.

In this first volume of an epic fantasy series, readers will be drawn into a world where ancient deities like Sameri, Laat, Mannat, and Jamshed are revered as gods, where magic is the fabric of reality, and where love, loyalty, and courage are tested against the forces of darkness. *The Legend of Tilsim Hoshruba* invites you to step into an enchanted realm where destinies are forged in the crucible of magic and adventure. Prepare to be captivated by a tale that will leave you yearning for more.

|SERIALIZED STORY · ACT I OF THROUGH THE WORMHOLE|

|19X FEATURED|

Daniel Matton wasn't ready for an adventure, not until 3025 sent him into space on a journey to prehistoric times. The prehistoric animals test his patience, but Dan must endure all the pain and suffering to return home safely.                                                                                                          ***

Seventeen-year-old Daniel Matton, still grieving after his mother's death five years ago, is given the adventure of a lifetime when he's selected as the Star of 3025's PPMC Project for a journey through a black hole, wormhole, and white hole to prehistoric times. Now, does Dan want to be the Star? Heck no, but he has loved paleontology ever since a bittersweet memory with his mom twelve years earlier.

Programmed to resemble Dan's mother's personality, PPMC vows to keep him safe on his journey, but it's difficult when the stubborn teen constantly gets in trouble, not just with himself but also with prehistoric anomalies: volcanic eruptions, eight-foot-long millipedes, terrifying saber-toothed cats, and, above all, disaster.

Now nearly trapped in time, Dan and PPMC must work together to escape the geologic time scale before Dan's love for paleontology and the mighty Quetzalcoatlus prevent him from learning how to truly trust PPMC and "let go" of the burden that's weighed him down for five years.

A teen, a starship, and Becca...
