Lord of Deception

Shadow_delta
In a cosmos where gods and Archons dictate the flow of fate, one man defies destiny itself. Kael Ardyn awakens in the Abyss—a man who should not exist, marked by a sigil that defies reality itself. With no past and only fragmented memories of another life, he soon learns the truth: his very presence is an anomaly, a mistake the universe seeks to erase. Hunted by cosmic forces and entities beyond comprehension, Kael discovers a power unlike any other—a magic that can rewrite existence. But it comes with a condition. The more he wields it, the closer he comes to annihilation. To survive, he does not seek honor. He seeks control. Manipulation, deception, and ambition become his weapons as he infiltrates kingdoms, shatters alliances, and bends even the strongest of heroes to his will. When he sets his sights on the hero’s beloved, a forbidden romance becomes a dangerous game of power and desire. Yet in the shadows lurks something even more terrifying—an entity that whispers of Kael’s true purpose. The Archons fear him. The balance trembles. And as the gods hesitate, Kael takes what is his, one piece at a time. For if fate rejects him, he will become fate itself.

The Mirrorbound

In a world where reality blurs between magic and modernity, one broken mirror awakens a forgotten destiny. Liam Gray is just an ordinary young man — lonely, directionless, stuck in a mundane life where success feels like a distant dream. But everything changes when a mysterious mirror in his room cracks open… not to shatter, but to reveal another world. From that mirror steps Aeris Virelle, a fierce and secretive warrior from a magical realm on the brink of collapse. She seeks the fragments of an ancient spellbook — the Liminal Codex — a key that can restore balance… or destroy everything. As Liam is unwillingly dragged into her quest, he learns that he isn’t just a bystander. He is bound by blood, power, and fate to the shattered past of both worlds. Haunted by visions and hunted by corrupted forces, Liam joins a band of unlikely allies: Kael, a blunt but noble wind-based warrior with a soft spot for dumb jokes, Nyra, a spirited summoner whose tiny summons love stealing food and causing chaos — but whose powers are growing every day. Together, they must traverse deadly landscapes, fight cursed guardians, uncover ancient truths, and learn to trust one another. But Aeris is hiding a truth of her own — reporting to a heroine who may not be what she seems. And lurking behind every turn is a dark force, manipulating hearts and histories alike: the shadowy being that destroyed Elira’s people and tore open the world long ago. As realms collide and fragments fall into place, Liam must decide: is he a hero destined to save both worlds… or a sacrifice meant to seal them?
