Elijah Kwame was born into poverty in a remote village where love was abundant but money was scarce. The son of a laborer and a fruit vendor, Elijah’s childhood was shaped by sacrifice, hope, and the quiet belief that education could be the key to a better life. Fueled by his parents' unwavering support, he excelled in school, earning scholarships that carried him from dusty village classrooms to the gates of a prestigious university in the city. But the journey was not without heartbreak. While studying tirelessly, Elijah receives devastating news—his parents have died in a tragic accident. With the weight of grief pressing down on him, he presses forward, determined to honor their dreams. He graduates with top honors, but the people he wanted most to see his success are gone. Silent Applause follows Elijah as he navigates life after graduation—job searches, struggles, small victories—and eventually finds purpose in helping others like him. Through his pain, he builds a legacy: a school, a foundation, a new generation of dreamers. This is a powerful and emotional story about resilience, love, and the quiet strength of those who dare to dream even when the world stays silent.

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?
