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.

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

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

“We live in a world of gliphs.”

“The left arm chamber, right arm chamber, left leg chamber, right leg chamber, wind chamber and the heart chamber. These are the six chambers of gliph that represent a glipher’s quality.”

In his previous life, he was the best metalsmith on the continent; even the most powerful fighters came to him for weapons. He was no doubt a powerful man, but sadly, his incapability to retaliate left him at the mercy of others.

Chui Yim, once dead, reincarnated into the world of gliphs, accompanied by Heaven’s Flame. However, the violent introduction of Heaven’s flame crippled his heart chamber.

Born with a heart deficiency, he was unable to perform strenuous exercise, let alone engage in physical fights. As such, his father who worked as a doctor made him study hard and sent him to the Riding Clouds Academy, where he met a close friend who was escaping from his family’s murderer.

Determined to write his own destiny, Chui Yim vowed to break limits and take up the path of a cultivator.

​​​​​​​Join Chui Yim as he embarks on his journey of cultivation, a thorny journey full of blood, tears, and enlightenment. This mystical and martial arts chivalry novel, “Night of the Broken Gliph”, by the famous Hong Kong author, Maple Shing, will definitely not disappoint!

This will be the first chapter of my story I hope everyone who gives it a shot enjoys it.

The first ever male wizard born into the world of Monmarolin was born as a demon. As uncharted territory as this was, the rest of the inhabitants were unsure if he would be a threat to them. They allowed him to live and they paid dearly for it.

He came to power and decimated the demon race, mutating them into a mockery of themselves as his army to bring the rest of the continent to its knees. He succeeded in doing so but not to the extent that he wished. He split the continent and placed his dark magic in between, preventing any being from crossing.

Decades later, he has returned to finish what he started and this time he has developed a new form of evil.

Follow Evander Drayton, the King's Hunter, as he works with the four kings to prepare for full-scale war and is tested beyond his limits in more ways than one. Will he be strong enough to rival the dark forces of Lord Varamont's army or will he crumble under the pressure and let the world fall to ruin?

Centuries ago, when dragons ruled the land, the skies, and the seas, there was a kingdom known as Draconia. The kingdom was ruled by their faithful Queen who was adored and loved by both her dragonets and her subjects. But like all good Kings and Queens, her reign came to an end, leaving Lumis and Solara, her dragonets, to battle for the throne.
