Amon The Legendary Overlord

For seventeen years, Kael Ashryn has lived as an outcast in the Kingdom of Valenor. Branded the "Cursed Child" after his parents died under mysterious circumstances, he is blamed for every tragedy that befalls his village. Shunned, ridiculed, and denied every chance to prove himself, Kael clings to the hope that one day he will earn the acceptance he has always longed for. That hope is destroyed when a sacred relic vanishes from the royal vault. Framed by fabricated evidence and abandoned by everyone he trusted, Kael is convicted of treason and sentenced to a public execution. As he awaits death, an ancient seal buried beneath the execution platform suddenly responds to his blood, awakening the long-forgotten Shadow Monarch Core. The execution grounds erupt into chaos as living shadows slaughter the soldiers, allowing Kael to escape. Branded the greatest threat to humanity, Kael becomes the target of a continent-wide manhunt. Royals, powerful nobles, secret organizations, and mysterious cults all seek to capture him, each hiding motives tied to a forgotten past. While struggling to control his terrifying new abilities, Kael uncovers the truth behind history's greatest lie: the legendary Shadow Monarch was never a tyrant but a hero who sacrificed everything to imprison the ancient Void Sovereign. Joined by unlikely allies—warriors, scholars, mercenaries, and mages burdened with secrets of their own—Kael discovers that his parents were guardians of the ancient seal and that his entire life was orchestrated by those who feared his true heritage. Yet every new power he gains strengthens the whispers of darkness within him, threatening to consume his humanity. As kingdoms fall into war and ancient monsters awaken, Kael must master the shadows without surrendering to them. To save the continent from a returning nightmare, he must uncover the truth before history repeats itself.

In the urban fantasy novel "Hellstinger," billionaire playboy musician Marcus Hellstinger is thrust into a world of supernatural forces and ancestral history after a mysterious visitation drives him insane. Discovering his parents' secret past as legendary superheroes, Marcus awakens to his own inherited powers and vows to avenge their deaths while battling the demonic god Romulus and his legion of minions. With the guidance of his devoted trainer/bodyguard/caretaker, Alexander Hill, Marcus must navigate a treacherous path of betrayal, self-discovery, and redemption as he faces the ultimate showdown against the formidable Romulus to protect his city and honor his family's legacy... ... "Ugh! Grr hmgh..!" Marcus grunts with effort as he climbs out of the cavern onto the leveled ground of the dark cave. "Argh!" He sighed and exhaled heavily, taking in a lungful of oxygen only to exhale more heavily as he crawled to rest his back on the cave wall. "Damn..." He huffed heavily, panting and aching. His fingers had blistered, aching, and bleeding, his back felt at its breaking point, his muscles could hardly respond to him anymore, and his stomach groaned relentlessly for food. He had collected the bow from the stream of luminous fluid, strapped it to his back, and climbed out of the cavern. Marcus had never been so out of his elements before, and climbing had never been an imagination much less doing it fatigued and hungry. Marcus laughed, who knew he could ever go this hungry and still climb several meters out of an underground cave? No one. Although he has no idea how long ago he had left his hotel room or how far he had walked to the forest, he knows he will have to do it all over again. "Ah f@#k!" ***
