Jonathan Heights saw sunlight once. He must see it again.At least, that’s what he claims when he charters an expedition east beyond the bounds of civilization. The Illuminated King has an abiding interest in such legends, while the Reflected Council is more interested in the treasures that they are convinced he has found, out there in the dark. The truth is shrouded and motives uncertain as Jonathan and the agents of both Crown and underworld take the airship Endeavor to the strange and exotic lands out there in the darkness.Wonders and horrors both lie between the human lands and his ultimate goal: things long-forgotten and long-dead, that which could not be recorded on any map. They are temptation and terror to the wise and foolish alike, but not to Jonathan. He only has one goal in mind, and will not brook anything that stands between him and sunlight.

 No rating A series must receive 1 user review before a rating is displayed. Completed One Last Sunset
Violent. Power-hungry. Evil. That's how Cara Vacher was raised to see those whom the world system calls "Alphas." Yet, she can't get over her curiosity about them, especially after her older sister chooses to walk the path of a Blade, those who walk alongside Alphas. Only one thing can sate that curiosity: actually meeting an Alpha and being forced to confront the reality that her childhood education might not have been based on lies after all. Is there anything that can remove the undying scourge of Alphas from her world? Meanwhile, Ivan just wanted to enjoy Alphablade one last summer before the server goes offline forever and takes an easy quest to find an NPC. But every time he finds her, he gets sent to respawn before he can complete the quest. What's so special about this Cara Vacher anyway? One Last Sunset is a story of star-crossed lovers in a dying world who were never meant to be and contains (non-graphic) adult situations.

 Ongoing Keiran: The Eternal Mage
Keiran of the Night Vale has staved off death for two thousand years, but even he’s reached his limits. His body is old, worn out, and failing. While the flesh fails, however, his mind and his magic remain as sharp as ever. What he needs is to reincarnate into a fresh, new, young body, and he bends his prodigious talents towards doing exactly that. He awakens to find that he’s been reborn in a wasteland where mana has become a scarce resource, one to be hoarded and guarded jealously. Even the internal mana generated by people is stolen away by those who rule them. And without mana, he’s no longer a mage. It will take more than that to stop Keiran. With each passing week, he regains more of his old strength, but can he keep his secrets safely hidden? Standing in his way is his new home’s cult-like nightly mana tithing, a governor with secrets of his own, and an unforgiving desert with hidden monsters who’d love nothing more than to swallow him whole. It's a deadly scramble to claim the mana he so desperately needs to survive, but Keiran didn’t become an archmage by accident, and he’s willing to use every dirty trick and tactic he knows to get there again.

 No rating A series must receive 1 user review before a rating is displayed. Completed Inexorable Chaos
Gods are, generally speaking, not fans of directly putting their fingers on the scale. This is for a variety of reasons, ranging from caution to amusement, but is generally because after a few hundred millennia and enough prayers to fill a hollow Earth, you're bound to learn the art of delegation. Luckily, among the unwashed masses, there exist the exceptional, the gifted, those with the potential to become Heroes. Useful pawns. Thus, the Gods adopted a more laissez-faire policy. Quasi Eludo has been a Hero. He did the whole "save the world” rigmarole, came home, and mulled over his magical journey. It was amazing! A whole lifetime as the destined savior, with magic and monsters, love and adventure, lifelong friendships and heartfelt goodbyes. There was so much, and yet, gone so soon. It wasn’t enough. It was never enough. He wanted to do it again. And where wants coincide, there's a market, so he sold his services to the lazy, wanton Gods. Quasi Eludo, Hero for Hire. [No world too big, no quest too small] Now, after countless subjective centuries of Hero-ing, and several awkward conversations with the IRS, an odd God has come to Quasi with a unique request: Destroy a world, minimum payment of several million dollars on completion. Quasi sees no reason not to accept. *$50,000 USD minimum charge plus expenses for all fetch quests. Extermination requests subject to environmental review.
