Legends tell of a tower located at the peak of a mountain. A tower where each floor is a world of its own filled with dangerous creatures known as yokai. Those who dare scale the floors and reach the top will receive a divine gift from the Goddess. A wish of their desire. Seeking this wish are the Climbers, the many people who have climbed simply to be slain by the dangers that waits in the fifteen floors. But some persisted in their journey to acquire their deepest desires. Haku Nozomu is one of those people. Recently graduated as a climber, he traverses the tower along with his teammates; Momoka and Uni. While their reasons and fighting style are different from one another, they share a great passion to reach the top by all means necessary. No matter how hard the trials they have to face, they will find a way to the top and get their wish. Thus people tell of the legend of the Tower of Wishes.

Once a Paladin trainee, Lady Samantha of Haywood -- Sam -- has been named a traitor to king and country by the Paladins' High Commander, with a bounty set on her head. Only Sam and her friends know what the people of Thule do not: the High Commander is no ordinary man but something more--something evil.

Worse, he can control Braeden, Sam's half-demon lover, through blood magic long thought extinct. Sam and Braeden set sail across the sea in hopes of finding a way to nullify the High Commander's power. But the secrets they uncover reveal Thule faces an even greater threat. They must return to Thule and warn the Uriel...before it's too late.

A short story I wrote a while back about a desperate plan hatched by a desperate people...

Systems in Chaos: Dissention The year is 2543 and humanity has expanded their civilization to several solar systems. And for many centuries humanity has lived in peace - until the fracture. Humanity fractured into three powerful factions. The Zeuti Guardians, the United Alliance and the Hadi Empire. They were all once part of the United Alliance, but as the unique, evolutionary, powers of a new breed of warrior, the "Zeuti", the fracture came. The Zeuti Guardians were the second faction to arise, breaking away from the authority of the UA, the Zeuti became a peacekeeping organisation and had sole authority over all biofeed capable humans. Biofeed, the essence of the Zeuti warrior. The UA and the Guardians have worked as a union beside one another to keep the peace within the borders of Human Civilization, but peace was not enough for a segmented group of Zeuti. These power hungry fighters decided it was time for a change. Breaking an entire solar system away from the grasp of the United Alliance, the Hadi Empire was born. These dark biofeed soldiers became secluded for many centuries, but in the year 2543 they returned with the full might of their military. Their invasion has began and the devastation is unparalleled. The United Alliance is on their own as the Zeuti Guardians refuse to help. However, a handful of Zeuti Guardians have gone rogue and decided to aid the last surviving planet in the Alpha Centauri System, they are led by Teran Artosis. They will do all they can to help. But nothing is as simple as that, and the situation back home is stirred up by the Teran's old mentor, Galvin El'Finn. Vladimir Struganov is the last great Commander the United Alliance has at its disposal on the planet of Kalorin and he plans on bringing Hell to the Hadi Empire for invading his planet.

Being Maven Black-Briar's granddaughter, Mira has never really wanted for anything.

Mira's boring life is turned upside down when she is framed for murder, but saved by an unknown stranger. Thrown out of everything she has come to know, Mira must discover her new path while dealing with a dangerously handsome man who grows more complicated the closer she comes to understanding him.

I, Kisvar, the only known Dragonborn, have defeated Alduin in Sovngarde. I joined the side of the Stormcloaks in the Civil War, and the Empire is subdued once and for all. Skyrim is at peace, and I am renowned across the Nine Holds. You might think my life has slowed down some now, right? That I'm taking a well-earned break from adventuring? .... No. I make my living as an adventurer, and in secret, as the Guildmaster of the Thieves Guild. I thrive on adventure and attention. You wouldn't take a break from breathing, would you? Didn't think so. Now I'm starting on a new quest, one that started with two strangely-dressed men and an order to kill me from some person named Miraak....

The history of Tiseria is littered with ferocious battles. Battles, between the many different races, which threatened to engulf the entire realm. Races and creatures have become extinct, or very close to it, but, no war had been as terrible as the Dark Wars. Over a thousand years ago the Cultists of Volkin tried to bring forth their underworld god into the living realm. They almost succeeded. The cult had been defeated by the allied forces of the Four Kingdoms, and by the Covenant of the Magi. Tiseria prospered and there was general peace in the wake of the Dark Wars. Peace which had gone, relatively, unbroken, until now. The armies of darkness are rising once more. After more than a millennia the Cult of Volkin has returned, returned to finish what they had started. The cult is more devastating than ever, equipped with powers bestowed upon them by Volkin himself. They intend to wreck havoc, spread corruption, fear and distraught, through the kingdoms, and raise their Dark God once again. Releasing a corruption upon the physical realm, and causing the various races to become hosts for evil spirits, the Cult of Volkin is demonstrating their power to all. The descendants of the Covenant of the Magi and Knights Order, combined to create the Order of Light, must once again brave the horrors brought forth by Volkin's minions. Two knights have been chosen to undertake the suicidal mission of reuniting the races of Tiseria and retying the bonds of allegiance between them. The fallen, and dishonoured, Knight-Captain, Ryan Quinn, and the proud, and noble, Michael Crow, must traverse the three remaining kingdoms in hopes of uniting the Human, Dwarven and Elven races once more against the terror that is Volkin. With dungeons, dragons, magic and goblins set to cross their paths, can these two knights survive and what else will they encounter?
