The Demon's Mark
Tank, a timid and overweight orphan, thought the worst of his life was the daily bullying he endured—until he uncovers the horrifying truth. The orphanage he calls home is a front for something far more sinister, run by a coven of Sisters who sacrifice children to demons. Led by the ruthless and powerful Mother, they have struck infernal pacts to ensure their survival in a world where celestials wage war on humanity. But Tank isn’t just another victim—he is the last of a secret Church experiment designed to harness infernal power, and when he accidentally frees the demon Malphas, Tank is thrust into a deadly conflict that will decide the fate of all mankind.
The Ascension
In a world plunged into chaos by the sudden arrival of alien spacecrafts, Max, a homeless immigrant seeking redemption, is conscripted into the Earth Defence Forces (EDF) to fight in a galactic war. But this war is not as it seems. Transformed into a dangerous soldier through the Nano-Integrated Defence Augmentation (NIDA) system, Max must navigate a battlefield where the lines between friend and foe blur, and the truth is buried beneath layers of manipulation. As he uncovers secrets about the alien UAC and a captive race known as the Drathar, Max faces a terrible choice—sacrifice his humanity or lose the chance for redemption he so desperately craves.
