Rebranding announcement.
The Enhanced Beings Collective is now.... Heroes of The Collective.
Same story, same characters, just a do over with the series title and cover.
If you aren't already aware, Heroes of The Collective is a character driven superhero web-series following the lives of The Enhanced Beings Collective- heroes who protect America against threats to their interests locally, nationally and globally. And universally...
Featuring an ensemble cast, we explore the lives of the various team members as they fight against bad, against each other and occasionally themselves.
The start of the series introduced us to Kimona Jones, and it was through her and her new alliances' experiences where we learned about enhanced beings and the world they belong to. But the first season is now over half way through so there's lots to catch up on, and lots still to come.
New episodes out Friday evenings BST.
Tomorrow we go back in time to see what it was that caused a crack in Lucas and Brad's friendship.

I just started posting a new gothic horror / dark fantasy series, about a group of magic users possessed by mysterious entities known only as "Archons" setting out to explore their world and discover its mysteries. And maybe kill God. It's a bit what you might expect if you threw some Madoka Magica elements into the Soulsborne series: transformations and magic attacks, but in a grim, gothic world with a heavy focus on mystery and exploration, with some "boss fights" and cool enemies. The tone is serious and mature; there's little to no humor (except of the dark or gallows kind) and the characters are all adults. It'll deal a lot with mental illness and, while romance itself won't be a central part of the plot, the relationships between the characters will and there is bisexual representation.
I'm updating it daily, so please take a look at the fiction's page if this sounds like your kind of thing. Thanks in advance!

The Lions of Dawrtaine
Synopsis
Hallon Nilsdotter was born in 1268 and trained in the magics of the shamans of old Sweden. Now, in 1924, she hunts for the Calamity, a prophesied disaster. Along with her spirit allies and the young scientist Milo Rabbit, Hallon forces open a tear in the boundary of their universe to travel to another.
An old war has ruined this land, breaking its weather systems, and a new war is brewing between the Untainted and those who show strange mutations. On the run after being identified as abnormal, Hallon and Milo must navigate this new world of machine guns, gas attacks, and fallen spirits. All the while, the Calamity looms over them.
What to Expect
A fast-paced adventure with influences from stories like Raiders of the Lost Ark and 1980s science fiction and fantasy
Some similar themes to my other work, Eight
A regular and reliable publishing schedule
Blurbs
"This is another fantastic yarn written by an author who knows how to create deep worlds and realistic characters. I was a loyal reader of the previous RR fiction, and now will be regularly reading this story. If you enjoy a story that builds on the initial premise in a way that flows and is believable within the constructed world, and you enjoy characters that seem to come alive as they struggle though the plot, then this is for you." -- Drauku
"The characters are alive. They’re not just cardboard cutouts of generic fantasy power characters...The setting is vivid. The author both in the past and it’s looking like here, has created world(s) in and of themselves which you can see." -- croda

#26Welcome to Norden - a land of mystery, magic, and unknown danger. This is the home of The Beast of the North, a man feared by his enemies and loved by his people. When fate ties him to an unwanted companion, his world is about to crumble. Or maybe it is about to change in an unexpected yet necessary way under the wings of Shimshi - the legendary White Swallow. Dive into the vast world of The Beast and The Swallow. And keep your eyes open, for something evil lurks in the shadows.
In a far-away land of snow and mystery, the fates of two bastards entangle.
He is a warrior and a ruler. She is a physician with a tormented past.
Now both of them will have to learn not only to live together but also to fight against any and all that threaten to ruin their happiness. Amongst chaos, schemes, and war, will they manage to fulfill the most difficult task - finding the way to each other's heart and soul?
The path won’t be easy. A dark cult and even darker magic are resurfacing after years of slumber. And while they wreak havoc in the lands of Norden, the Star-gazer’s voice echoes in the night heralding a dangerous future:
When the Beast falls, the Swallow shall triumph.
For the Sun to shine over Norden, the Swallow must be devoured.

Two millennia after a planet-wide disaster, Humanity has once again taken to the stars, only to find themselves a late arrival to a crowded affair. Most habitable worlds are already under control of other species and the vast Thorian Empire covers the largest swaths of territory.
With the Empire temporarily stagnant as it reels from the aftermath of a decades-old war, Earth has the opportunity to establish itself as a more prominent technological and political force. Would a resurgent Empire quash those ambitions once and for all or will it all crumble in the face of an even greater threat emerging from the dead of space?
The Bloodlet Sun follows a cast of characters flung across the different corners of the knows worlds, as their intertwining stories affect the course of history and perhaps the survival of all sentient life.

Do You Remember It?
There was a time we all did…
We once loved it, we were once nurtured by it.
A City, so grand, so beautiful. So enthralling we promised it we’d never let go. We promised we would always believe.
But you did. You all did. And now that City that nurtured you lies in ruin.
You ruined it.
Times have changed now, Humanity’s end is coming.
My name is Gale Mayfair.
If you are listening you have a chance, if you wish to survive you must return to the City.
"The Fallen City is the story of Gale Mayfair, a man who dreams of a long abandoned City every night as real as the world around you now...
But this City was once filled with life. It was once of all colours, it was what made us 'Human'.
Now it lies in ruins, abandoned by it's children. Its towers have fallen, its causeways collapsed, its districts fallen.
The City has died.
Yet there is hope.
Someone else walks these broken streets...
Only together can they save the City.
Only together can they save what makes us Human."
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/39144/the-fallen-city/chapter/609708/mans-loss
For hundreds of years Humanity brought the light of civilisation to dozens of worlds, across multiple stars.
The rule of the OSFC is absolute. Their fleet is glorious, their paranoia of revolution developed defences unrivalled.
Their leaders are cold and remorseless.
Their warriors bound to die for their cause...
What would dare threaten such a force?
... Only the Darkness they pushed away.
An unknown enemy has come forth. Defeat is as sure as the turn of worlds... Nothing last's in it's shadow.
But on the edge of the frontier; One lone gunboat has what could be the secret to the defence of their cruel world...
The cold hand of extinction stands in their way...
This is their mission...
This is the story of the Phoenix

Synopsis:
Character-driven sci-fi space opera set in approximately the 29th century AD (or 3rd century UC) in a setting where humanity is united under an interstellar Federation past its zenith.

Joining the narrative is Li Chou, known as the Madame Scarface. She serves as a lieutenant under a pirate republic ruled by her ruthless adoptive father nestled in the outer hinges of Federation authority. And Alexandra Descartes-Dolz, a colonial spacenoid with the aspirations of changing the decadent Federation's injustices. This saga tells of their intertwining destinies and the struggles they face along the way.
Besides the three main characters, the story also explores points of views from a variety of side/minor characters as well.
The story is written in first-person present tense for main characters, and limited third-person for side/minor characters. There will only be one PoV for a chapter, though.

The Tale of Will Newbie (TTWN) is the story of one boy, his family, and his journey across the fictional continent of Oracle to bring together a group of heroes to defeat the forces of Sin. Oracle is divided into four kingdoms, each named after a special race of people. All the kingdoms, however, are divided by the gargantuan Guardian Wall, a wall meant to protect the kingdoms from having to face the dangers of the Great Basin. To the south is the kingdom of Humania, host to the Humans. Humans are typically considered the weakest of the races, but their heart often makes up for strength. To the east is Fawna, a forested region filled with many Beasts and, of course, the Fawns. Fawns are the gentlest race, though don't underestimate their temper. Each Fawn bears an assortment of unique features taken from the animal kingdom, from ears to tails to fur (though fur is incredibly rare.) Fawns are well known for their speed, able to outrun even the fastest of Beasts. To the west is the mountainous region of Drakonia, home to the hunting people, Drakonians. Drakonians were designed for a harsh climate and fierce combat, their bodies bearing scales stronger than iron. While their skin tone is exclusively dark, their scales are colored differently for each individual. And, finally, to the north is Demonia, the "home" of Demons. We don't talk about Demonia.
I'd love for you to follow me on an adventure into the world of Oracle, as we explore the depths of family, friendship, and fate. Bonds new and old built and reinforced through shared struggle, and, no matter what, fighting for what you believe to be right.

My story is Phantom Wings (link in signature)! If you like dystopia and some bits of sci-fi (and some bits of mystery and adventure), might as well give my story a try!
It does have quite a small following (pretty much no following whatsoever), so any views or even ratings would be very very appreciated!

Title:
Grey
Genre:
High Fantasy, Portal Fantasy, Anti-Hero, LitRPG
Synopsis:
Thousands of years ago there was a great breaking of the world. Few alive have the knowledge of why this was necessary, but in the end, the world was split into two. On the one side, a person lived in a world of controlled technology and evolution. On the other, even the basest creatures can alter the world's path. Then came a boy named Icarus, who preferred Fern, and didn't particularly want to be there. This is his story, and how he became a fable told from one village to the next.
Personal note:
I started writing the book in my head about 8 years ago. I have two prequel books pre-plotted and mostly written which I hope to tie into the universe explaining its origins. Basically, I have a lot of fun writing this, and I'm doing my best to make sure there are no real plotholes.
