Hexfixer

Enoch Lewis is a fixer-a man with steady hands and a sharp mind, called upon when trouble needs quietly mended. In the underbelly of 1940s Manhattan, he's the go-to for cleaning up messy problems, stitching wounds both physical and otherwise. He's no hero, no legend-just a practical man trying to get by in a world that never sleeps and rarely shows mercy. But when a mysterious job drags him into a shadowy realm of witches and dark secrets hidden beneath the surface of Earth's city streets, Enoch must face a new kind of danger. Out of his depth but motivated by boredom and the promise of money, he takes the job-never expecting the darkness he thought was just stories to become very real. Now, he must adapt or be swallowed whole by the forces he once dismissed.

Soulweft

In a world where souls can merge-and corrupt-Caelus is born of two: a mother and father who once loved each other so deeply, their fusion birthed something new. Raised in the peaceful village of Eldhollow, Caelus always knew he was different. Trained in swordsmanship and Aether magic, destined for a path most fear to walk, he now sets out to fulfill that fate: to become a Soul Warden. Soul Wardens are more than just adventurers-they are hunters of corrupted bonds, mediators between spirit and flesh, and wielders of power that can both heal and destroy. But what begins as a hopeful journey quickly becomes a trial of identity, loyalty, and survival. As Caelus travels across a fractured continent teeming with soulbound creatures, rogue fusions, and hidden guilds. Caelus sets his sights on a near-mythic goal: to become a Soul Warden-one of the elite protectors who regulate the fragile threads of fusion across the land. But the road to mastery is paved with corrupted bonds, rogue wardens, and ancient forces that seek to unravel the soul-fused world itself. Along the way, Caelus must choose his allies carefully: a volatile fusion with a haunted past, a runaway noble with forbidden abilities, and a vagabond mercenary whose power may unravel at any moment. To survive, he must decide not just what kind of Warden he wants to be... but what kind of soul he's willing to become.

But when a mysterious vampire with extraordinary strength appears in the nearby town, everything changes. His presence is a sign of something far darker approaching, a threat that could shake the very foundation of the families' pact. As old alliances fracture and new dangers loom, Noah must decide if he will embrace his legacy and take up the hunt once more-or let everything he's known slip into the shadows.

The Devil's Colony

A plane full of the world's most ruthless killers is en route to a secret prison when disaster strikes. The aircraft crashes on an uncharted island, a vast and untamed land ruled by a lost civilization-one that was once English but has long since descended into tribal warfare, ritualistic violence, and a code of survival far older than any law. Stranded and hunted, the criminals-once the predators of society-now find themselves as prey. Cut off from the outside world, they must navigate a brutal new reality where their cunning, savagery, and killer instincts may be the only things keeping them alive. But the island is more than just wild-it has its own history, its own laws, and its own gods. And the tribe that calls it home does not take kindly to invaders. Among them is Kane Storm, a man whose reputation as a killer precedes him. But as the days turn to weeks and the island strips away the illusion of control, the cracks in his ego and past begin to splinter and break. Faced with an enemy unlike any he has ever encountered, Kane must confront not just the dangers of the island, but the ghosts that haunt him. On this island, only the strongest will survive-but survival may cost more than just blood.

The Labyrinth Keys

In the sprawling waste zones of Ashfield, a city choked by the refuse of a broken society, Jack Vesper sorts through discarded junk with no real future in sight. At 25, he's just another misfit, another person tossed aside by the world, now working a grueling job as a garbage sorter. The days are monotonous, but when he stumbles upon a strange, black metal sphere buried deep in the trash, everything changes. Curious, Jack presses a hidden button on the sphere, releasing a small black chip into his hand. It feels heavy with mystery and potential, too precise to be just another piece of discarded tech. With no one else around on a slow Saturday shift, Vesper pockets the chip and continues his work, unaware that this seemingly insignificant object is about to pull him into a new, dangerous world. Jack's curiosity gets the better of him, and he travels to a long-forgotten lab on the outskirts of the city. The lab, once a hub for cutting-edge research, is now abandoned, its halls lined with old maps, blueprints, and cryptic notes. As he begins to study the charts, he discovers a book of labyrinths spanning the globe-labyrinths not just made of stone, but of technology and power, their existence hidden from the world. Some of these labyrinths hold secrets of unimaginable value; others, unfathomable dangers. The chip seems to be a key-a gateway into these labyrinths. As Jack begins to piece together the labyrinth's secrets, he realizes that it could lead him to a power unlike anything the world has ever known. But with that power comes the threat of those who would stop at nothing to control it. The line between friend and foe blurs, and Vesper must navigate not only the physical maze but the twisted web of secrets and lies surrounding him. The adventure begins with one small chip-and the future depends on what Jack discovers within the labyrinth's depths.

Bitter Sweets

In Sweetwater, noble families carry on a legacy of unique powers, known as "sweets," passed down through bloodlines. These abilities, woven into the city's daily life, define status and influence. Among these families, the Graves were once a respected lineage of detectives, though their reputation has crumbled after generations without a single power. Unlike the other nobles who wield their abilities as marks of superiority, the Graves have no supernatural gift to protect or elevate them, relegating them to near obscurity. Nero Graves has grown up under the weight of his family's faded legacy and Sweetwater's indifference. Now, at eighteen, he's recently qualified as a lawyer, determined to prove himself in a society where power is everything. When a young man's body is discovered in a narrow alley, Nero is given the case as a formality-an insignificant investigation that the city's elite, each with powerful sweets, dismissed as beneath them. But as Nero digs deeper, he uncovers chilling clues and testimonials that hint at a conspiracy woven into the very fabric of Sweetwater's nobility. What should have been a straightforward case reveals fragments of betrayal, hidden alliances, and secrets that reach the highest echelons of the city. With each discovery, Nero becomes further entangled in a dangerous web, and his investigation begins to draw the attention of Sweetwater's elite. Powerless yet relentless, he has only his wit, legal knowledge, and tenacity to guide him, putting him at risk of becoming the next victim in a dark, hidden legacy. As Nero edges closer to the truth, he realizes he's no longer simply seeking justice-he's uncovering secrets that some would kill to keep buried. And as he inches closer, he must decide if he has the strength to face what lies ahead or if some truths are better left undisturbed.

In a vast universe where gods shape entire planets, a young god named Solas has created Earth-an unremarkable and unfinished world. Among the gods, Earth is considered a "beginner planet," and Solas is mocked for its simplicity. The other gods, with their extravagant creations, challenge Solas to prove himself worthy of his title. When a powerful rival god offers a wager, Solas can't refuse. The terms are simple: Solas must travel to different planets, each ruled by another god, and overcome challenges while living in mortal flesh. If he succeeds, Solas gains the right to take an aspect or concept from that planet-be it a unique power, an element of creation, or even divine servants like angels-to enrich Earth and make it thrive. As Solas embarks on his journey, he faces dangers, confronts the complexities of creation, and learns valuable lessons from each world. Along the way, he begins to realize that Earth's simplicity may be its greatest strength. Armed with new powers and insights, Solas sets out to transform his barren world into something worthy of the gods, proving that even the humblest beginnings can lead to divine greatness. But the stakes are high. If Solas fails, he may lose not just the wager, but his very place among the gods.
