The Man Who Taught The Machine Fantasy Sci-fi Action Adventure Virtual Reality Supernatural
A game developer finds himself reborn into the world he created. He also made the powerful AI that controls the system, so what happens when he finds out the system created him more than once?
Shane Carther works as a developer for an ambitious new AAA game. The game, Endless Veil is an open-world RPG with contextual quests and endless procedural generation powered by an AI Director of Shane's own making.
The game world is populated by random events, dungeons, NPC outposts, portals, boss fights, wandering merchants, and more. Through machine learning, all of these encounters have context and backstory.
Right before the game's launch, Shane wakes up inside his own game. At first, this looks like a blessing as Shane has a robust custom class that gives him many more opportunities than usual to acquire power—and exciting loot.
Shane quickly learns that life in his game's world is authentic and deadly. Even though he respawns endlessly after dying, there are fates worse than death and rebirth. Fates like discovering you've already been reborn into Endless Veil many times and failed.

A Savage's Journey
Jason Walker, a psych major, has been transported to another world. Quite frankly he isn't prepared. No experience in fighting, no idea how to control mana, and no proper clothes. Only his wits, which are in short supply, and his luck may see him through the day. This is my first novel ever. First ever time writing so I'll definitely be listening to any constructive criticism you guys have to offer. I'll even pay attention to straight up criticism if I can see some merit in it. I hope you all enjoy.
8 223A Wish
This is a story where there are no heroes and no villains. This is a tale about revenge, despair, and hope. This is a story where the truth is constantly hidden deep beneath the surface, and nothing is ever as it initially appears. The world is a stage. Every character has their part to play before their exit. They are actors, dancing on a stage set for them while searching for the truth behind the façade. Only time will tell whether they will be able to escape their predestined fate, to search for their happy end, or whether the promised end is nothing more than, a wish. Author's Note: Update will be very unpredictable as I travel quite a bit for my work.
8 162Delvers
Meet the Delvers, a small community of humans that have been selected for entry in the dungeons that lay beneath the surface of our world. By clearing objectives they can gain money and power, but should they fail all will be revoked. This story follows these Delvers as it switches between various POVs and their adventures both inside and outside the dungeons. So grab some food and gear and enter, there's plenty to gain. Provided for your viewing pleasure by Delvers Inc. Disclaimer: I am writing this series as a hobby. It is something that has been inside my head for a while and have wanted to do this for a while. I hope you enjoy, commentary is always welcome. I hope to be updating this series semi-regularly as I continue.
8 92The Citadel of Stairs, The Armory Book One
A band of five mercenaries serve a dead god across scattered lands of powers and principalities, answering to no allegiance or authority but their own, and the needs of their dead god's afterlife. To power their heaven's dying mechanisms they must kill and send those stolen souls above so that their god's refugee faithful have a place to go when they die, even if all that's left to them is an eternity of waiting. There is no peace for this five. No rest. There is only the next job. Cover Art Credit: Dan Mandell
