JAYDE
Forged in the crucible of Xi Corporation’s labs, Jayde—once known only as SN1098—is a genetically engineered super soldier, her body honed to a razor's edge through decades of fighting humanity’s brutal wars. Her rebellion against her creators sparked a desperate battle for her people’s survival, only to end in betrayal and a fiery death on Crypso 3Q3U, her sacrifice shattering the corporate chains binding thousands of GESS lives. Yet death is not her end. Jayde awakens, impossibly, in the tortured body of a young girl on a strange world untouched by the technology she knew—no starships, no replicators, no blasters, only the primal pulse of magic. Bound to an ancient artifact pulsing with secrets, she must navigate a realm of powerful mages, mythical creatures, and lurking monsters, her old instincts clashing with the arcane forces now at her command. Her soul, scarred by battle and betrayal, carries a darkness that threatens to consume or redeem her as she carves a new path.

REN
Ren, the fierce demon king, stands as the last bulwark against his race’s extinction, his heart a furnace of primal fury. To save his people and halt the malevolent Zartonesh’s invasion of the realms, he must venture to the Lower Realm, where the Devil Wars first ignited. His fate entwines with a young woman—Jayde—whose soul, steeped in shadow, stirs the ancient beast within him. Her vast, untamed power could be the key to salvation or the doom of all he fights for, her presence a spark to his fire, a bond that could forge or shatter destinies.

AN EPIC JOURNEY OF MAGIC AND REDEMPTION
Jayde trades her blaster for a sword, stepping alone into a universe where magic hums like a Centauri war-chant, guided only by a mysterious artifact that whispers of forgotten truths. She journeys across dimensions, learning the art of spellcraft, forging alliances with unlikely companions, and facing enemies born of myth and nightmare. As she grapples with the darkness within her soul—a remnant of her past life’s pain and betrayal—she searches for her true-mate, a bond that could anchor or unravel her. Will she master the magic of this strange world and rise as its savior, or will the shadows she carries bring ruin to all she holds dear?

WARNING: This tale unfolds as a slow-burning romance, weaving love and loss through a tapestry of magic, sacrifice, and defiance, as Jayde’s legacy burns brighter than any star.

Author’s Note

Hi everyone! A small heads-up before you dive in:

I’m a new novelist, still learning, experimenting, and growing with every chapter I write. My stories tend to be long-winded, slow-burning, and very descriptive — I love painting the scenes in my head as vividly as possible, so sometimes I linger a little too long on the details.

These are epic-length novels, full of worldbuilding, lore, and character depth, and while I do my best, they’re not professionally edited (yet!). You may spot the occasional typo, pacing oddity, or overly dramatic flourish — but I promise every word is written with passion, care, and love for the world and characters.

Thank you for giving my story a chance, and for walking this journey with me

The afternoon sun slanted through the study's window as Elder Ryunzo closed the door behind them. The room was modest but comfortable—shelves lined with ledgers and maps, a large oak desk scarred from years of use, chairs arranged for serious conversation rather than ceremony.


Master Whitestone was still buzzing with energy from the morning's charcoal demonstration, gesturing animatedly as he described potential forge improvements. But Elder Ryunzo's expression had turned somber, the weight of leadership settling back onto his shoulders.


Jayde settled into a chair, Reiko curling at her feet. The shadowbeast had been remarkably patient all morning, content to watch humans discover fire technology that the Federation had mastered millennia ago.


[This is the important conversation,] Reiko observed. [The one he's been building toward.]
