Grey Purpose

FLAMETHROWER
What if the search for meaning led you into a world engineered to keep you blind? Lucien wanted what every broken man dreams of—peace, power, and a life free from suffering. A factory worker from Lagos with nothing but debt and disappointment to his name, Lucien's only escape was sleep. But when he wakes, he is no longer in Nigeria. He’s in Grey, a biopunk world fueled by airborne nano-energy, ruled by houses of engineered power, and built atop ancient secrets no one dares to question. Here, the weak are discarded, the strong are exalted, and the truth is buried beneath glowing cities and gleaming lies. Everyone believes he is someone else—Lucien Adrek, heir to a House he doesn’t remember and a past that isn’t his. With a mind fractured by forgotten memories and a body saturated with energy he shouldn’t possess, Lucien is thrust into a society that demands submission or extinction. But Lucien won’t submit. Not to the Houses. Not to the gods. As rebellions spark, alliances form, and betrayals unfold, Lucien is forced to confront the world’s deepest question—What is purpose when the world itself is a lie? And when the puppet realizes he's on stage… what happens when he turns on the audience?

The Codex of Black Fire

The Codex of Black Fire In a secluded community in eastern Nigeria, a sinister darkness spreads—witches of ancient lineage have returned, their power growing with every soul they claim. Amid the whispers of cursed winds and burning shadows, Amarachi, a sacred vessel chosen by the gods, bears the burden of her people's survival. Bound by prophecy, she is the community's last hope—but her strength comes at the cost of love, freedom, and a future of her own. Enter Alaric Voss, a brilliant but emotionally scarred European scientist drawn to the village by reports of unexplained phenomena. Driven by both scientific curiosity and a need to escape his past, Alaric becomes entangled in forces far beyond logic. When he meets Amarachi, a mysterious, commanding woman with a fire in her eyes and secrets older than time, the boundary between science and the supernatural begins to blur. As ancient sigils burn and chemical weapons laced with magic are forged, Alaric and Amarachi must navigate a sensual spiritual bond that neither fully understands nor can resist. While he prepares for war guided by cryptic visions, she fights the pull of love, fearing it will unravel the sacred duty she was born to uphold. Together with Chima, Amarachi's once-promised protector and now loyal ally, they stand on the edge of a battle that could either purge the land of evil—or doom it forever. In The Codex of Black Fire, forbidden love, ancestral power, and scientific defiance collide in a tale where the heart and spirit must unite to overcome darkness.
