Synopsis:

In a world where ancient powers stir beneath the surface and forgotten kingdoms vie for dominance, Devian Till Dawn follows the journey of Parah, an enigmatic warrior whose fate is intertwined with the celestial forces of the universe. On his 100th birthday, Parah undergoes a life-changing transformation. The Aurora, a mystical phenomenon said to grant unearthly powers, awakens within him, bestowing upon him unimaginable abilities. With the power of the Aurora coursing through his veins, Parah becomes more than a man—he becomes a force destined to shape the future of the land.

But such power comes with a cost. The Aurora is not just a gift but a burden—its secrets have been guarded for millennia, and now ancient enemies, long thought extinct, rise from the shadows. Chief among them are the Devians, a relentless race hell-bent on reclaiming the world as their own. The Devian King, a being of immense darkness, rallies his army to destroy the last remnants of humanity and conquer the lands once ruled by their ancestors.

Parah, joined by a band of adventurers, embarks on a perilous quest to uncover the truth behind the Aurora and unlock its full potential before the Devian King unleashes destruction upon the world. His companions include Lilli, the Holy Sword's Maiden, whose blade is blessed by the gods; Tsukiko and Yumeka, Parah’s loyal maids with a mysterious past; Saigo, the wise and powerful Great Mage, who serves as the group's protector and strategist; Yohei, the ever-faithful butler, who serves Saigo and supports the party with both strength and wisdom; and Yuna, Parah’s spirited younger sister, who watches her brother grow into a hero with awe and devotion.

As Parah journeys deeper into forgotten lands, visions of an ancient battle—a time when gods and mortals fought side by side—begin to haunt him. These visions lead him to a deeper understanding of the Aurora, hinting that his destiny is tied not only to the fate of the present but to the very origins of creation itself. Yet, with every step, the darkness of the Devian King draws nearer, and Parah must decide what kind of hero he will become—one who embraces the power of the Aurora for good, or one consumed by its potential for destruction.

The clock is ticking, and the dawn of battle approaches. Will Parah and his companions rise to the challenge, or will the world fall beneath the shadow of the Devians once again? Devian Till Dawn is a story of destiny, power, and the choices that define us in the face of overwhelming odds.

“We live in a world of gliphs.”

“The left arm chamber, right arm chamber, left leg chamber, right leg chamber, wind chamber and the heart chamber. These are the six chambers of gliph that represent a glipher’s quality.”

In his previous life, he was the best metalsmith on the continent; even the most powerful fighters came to him for weapons. He was no doubt a powerful man, but sadly, his incapability to retaliate left him at the mercy of others.

Chui Yim, once dead, reincarnated into the world of gliphs, accompanied by Heaven’s Flame. However, the violent introduction of Heaven’s flame crippled his heart chamber.

Born with a heart deficiency, he was unable to perform strenuous exercise, let alone engage in physical fights. As such, his father who worked as a doctor made him study hard and sent him to the Riding Clouds Academy, where he met a close friend who was escaping from his family’s murderer.

Determined to write his own destiny, Chui Yim vowed to break limits and take up the path of a cultivator.

​​​​​​​Join Chui Yim as he embarks on his journey of cultivation, a thorny journey full of blood, tears, and enlightenment. This mystical and martial arts chivalry novel, “Night of the Broken Gliph”, by the famous Hong Kong author, Maple Shing, will definitely not disappoint!

Ivy Oren is a lot of things, some would call her the heir to a throne she doesn't want, some would call her a prodigy, and some would claim she is a liar, a brat, an evil serpent. However, to Ivy, she doesn't know who she truly is or what she truly wants to be. She never imagined that one mission would send her down a rabbit hole, and  into a faith she was told to hate. Born to the snake charmers of the jepei world, Ivy is sent on her first true mission from home, to kill a young girl named Ori Oikawa, who has made an enemy of a brillant woman who lives in the city that never sleeps. During this mission, she lets someone into her heart, a man that she begins to call Immanuel, a man that seems to know more about her than even she knows about herself.

Ivy is a prodigy, a genius fighter, but how can she win against a girl who doesn't seem that bad, that wants her help, and who serves a God that has never lost a battle, that has never lost a fight, whose warriors have never lost when his hand is on their life?

In this space, I will provide some samples of my work, links to new releases, free previews of my books and/or articles, and perhaps some general thoughts on writing. I hope there may be something here that is of interest to readers in general. And I am glad to be in your company.

Fifty years after the cataclysmic Second Jewel War, the Land of Spade has flourished under the legacy of Kaipo Kasumi, its once-fractured realms now united in an era of peace.

As dark forces emerge from the cracks of a fragile peace, the next generation of mages must rise to confront an adversary unlike any before. Will they uphold the legacy of their predecessors, or will the weight of history crush them?

So yeah. Why are you reading the intro? The title should be enough.

Death in Cold Wateris a literary crime novel set in the shadowy corners of New York’s artistic and intellectual circles. It blends the mood of noir with the quiet melancholy of forgotten words and abandoned truths. It’s not just about who pulled the trigger — but why silence can be deadlier than a gunshot.

If you enjoy stories that unravel slowly, that whisper instead of shout, and that treat every detail like a clue — then I hope this journey resonates with you.

Thanks for reading,– Aso

Katherine Angelica. She was a complicated person. Her family thought she was nothing but a troublemaker, looking for attention. Her friends secretly hated her but were terrified of what she would do to them if they left her. Her teachers thought she was a bad student and a bad influence. The cops thought she would end up in jail, for all the times she'd been in juvie. But everyone agreed on one thing. She was a bully.

But on January 16, Katherine was kidnapped. And the complex truth about who she was started coming to the surface.

(I'm going to be really honest; this was a random idea I thought of before I fell asleep, but I loved the idea of it and wanted to explore it more.)
