Luri is dead again. But even this won't last forever.

Humanity has forgotten the ancient ways of magic and the occult as mana disappeared from the world over millennia. Once-powerful creatures are now remembered as silly cryptids, and powerful rituals have become superstition. But the universe never stays constant. Magic begins to return. Mythical creatures crawl out from their hidden lairs, Ouija boards start summoning real demons, and Halloween haunted-house parties turn into genuine horrors. The world slowly descends into chaos.

Following in his ancestors' footsteps, he embarks on a path to the pinnacle of dark arts. The exorcist business is about to boom, but whether that is good news for the rest of the world remains to be seen.

Jakob was only seven when he was summoned to Helmsgarten's sewers by the Fleshcrafter calling himself Grandfather.

Together, the pair explore a civilisation utterly alien to them, raised as they were in the dark and damp of the city's underbelly. Along his journey, Jakob constructs monsters and constructs, dodges the noose of the guards, joins the Adventurers' Guild in his voracious hunt for knowledge, and parleys with Demon Lords and Great Ones. Many who believe him a weak child suffer eternally for their arrogance. And in the end, even Grandfather must face the realisation that his creation is greater than he could ever have imagined.

Gods of ancient pantheons and demons of forbidden nightmares compete in a timeless game where the stakes are the souls of every living being.

Humanity is dying, hunted to extinction by creatures of legend. One boy was born to save them all. That boy just got knifed in the back. He looked a bit too much like Aaron, you see. Now it's Aaron's job to step up, lest his Death correct that little mix-up. But Aaron's skills as a street rat run more towards stealing and stabbing than towards saving. And the more he learns of what brought dear dead Markus to that fatal alleyway, the more he has to wonder just what the world's savior was really up to the night the wrong boy died. A dark fantasy set in a world drawing on a fusion of European and Asian mythology, featuring court politics, gray-on-gray morality, and a slow-burn empire-builder plot.

Sael the Great helped defeat the Corrupted One four hundred years ago, ushering in the longest era of peace the world has ever known.

The stories sound familiar — echoes of an evil Sael thought gone forever.

An Arthurian legend, Fae lore, and cultivation mash-up. Taliesin had one plan: escape the Harkley family, dodge their blood curse, and live a quiet life far from trouble.

But political intrigue, ancient prophecies, and a Divine Cultivator conspiracy all come calling. Set in a Europe-based cultivation world where Ki is Glamour and connected to the Fae realm, the story follows a competent but decidedly non-overpowered MC whose progression stems from effort, reflection, and the occasional death.
