Sometimes death isn't the end. Sometimes, people can come back with new lives and new powers. This is one of those times.

This is a serial story with litrpg and gamelit elements.

Chapter 5 — “Descent to the Core.”

Scene 1: The Shifting Halls

The new passage radiated radiant hues, akin to molten glass being elegantly poured through the rugged contours of ancient stone. Waves of warmth undulated through the air, stirring up fine particles of dust and tousling Steph's hair in a gentle dance. With cautious curiosity, she leaned forward to peer into the spiraling shaft, which seemed to descend into an endless abyss, each level shimmering faintly like distant stars before being consumed by encroaching shadows.

Chapter 23 – The Summit War

The flag's light pulsed once—a brilliant flash that surged through the darkness, momentarily dispelling the swirling smoke that clung to the air like a thick veil. Gradually, it steadied into a slow, rhythmic glow, a heartbeat of illumination in the oppressive gloom. Kara gripped the pole tightly, her breath coming in quick, ragged gasps behind the visor, her heart racing in anticipation.

For a few tense heartbeats, the world around her held its breath, suspended in an eerie stillness.

Having just ended a telephone call that could have been awkward but wasn’t I once again reminded me how lucky I am to have two such great boyfriends.

Two boyfriends?

Chapter 5

We sat there with our jaws dropped. Talk about upping the stakes.

“We haven’t been told where the band tour will want to play yet. I expect that Oxford will feature, sometime in September. We usually get six or seven months to organise them, so should get a message soon. If ‘Exarctics’ have lost the singer and drummer, it will take some time before they can play again.”

For two thousand years, demons and humans waged war against each other. Twenty-five years ago, that all changed. Now two demon princesses must navigate a world that's been forever altered - and yet they'll soon find that far too much of it remains the same.

This is the story of Mikaela, and Charlotte, twin princesses (born to the protagonists of Demon Queened), forced to become adventurers as a rite of passage. In theory, it'll be easy! They're literally demi-gods after all. It's not like anything can hurt them... but will it really be so simple for two pampered princesses to live the life of adventurers?

From prejudiced humans to old demonic grudges, hidden villages, romance and potential heartbreak, the girls will soon find that there's a lot more to life than they realized.

This is a sequel to Demon Queened, but I'll do my best to make sure you don't need to read the original to make sense of it. I still recommend the original - it was a good series, in my opinion! - but reading it shouldn't be a necessity.

Chapter 4

The Cortina wasn’t a true copy of Tina, my original one, which ended her life bullet-ridden and on the roof of a Lowestoft car yard. Tina Too was tweaked by my pal Grayson, with better suspension, brakes, and some work on the Lotus engine, as well as a competition gearbox and high-ratio differential. She was placid around the city, but very hard to beat on the open road.

Sword and Sacrifice:
A Feudal Fairy Tale

Every hundred years, a sacrifice is demanded in order to ensure the prosperity of the nation, but one young noble swordswoman has taken it upon herself, not to break the cycle, but to at least postpone the loss of another innocent life for the next hundred years. How will the deity that holds back the dark react to her gesture, though. Will her sacrifice be accepted, or will both she, and the woman she loves, be taken for daring to try and change the pact?

The Photoshoot That Changed It All

Alpha Versus Aleph Null

In terms of the intellectuals she employed, a short sighted, skinny, nervous, young man with sufficient intelligence to understand her primary code and then develop it was a much better choice than a devastatingly impressive alpha male who’d peaked as a high school quarterback and then scraped his way through college no matter how much his smile turned her female staff into instant bed partners.
