House of Wolves [The Steel Song Trilogy: Book I]

An an ambitious Space Opera in the spirit of the bygone era of Pulp Fiction and the best of HFY In the Galactic Council, absolute, unquestioning obedience is the golden rule that's ruthlessly enforced. When mankind first reached for the stars, they encountered a galaxy that was at once familiar and far stranger than anything they thought possible. In a universe where mythological beings such as elves, orcs and demons, were discovered to be very real alien civilizations, the children of Terra soon had to learn the hard way that being the newcomers to the galactic scene, meant being at the bottom of the totem pole. With Earth now a cold, dead husk and the remnants of humanity brought fully under the High Table's rule, mankind had to learn how to navigate the convoluted politics of a galaxy dominated by an ancient and inflexible macrofeudal order, where any hint of disobedience is ruthlessly stamped out. Decades later, as a struggle for the throne erupts at the heart of the oldest and most powerful of the galaxy's civilizations, an alien princess looking to obtain an advantage by recruiting the Lesser Species to her cause, finds her fate intertwined with the enigmatic and ambitious human warlord that somehow managed the impossible feat of forming a shadow government which ended a long and bloody civil war, reorganizing the remnants of his scattered species into something resembling an empire that now leads the very same political alliance who's resources she is looking to secure. With all the Great Houses now maneuvering to exploit an opportunity to expand their influence at her expense, the heiress to the Phoenix House must now rely on a resurgent humanity that has its own designs for the future of the galaxy and the dangerous, scarred man who's own ambitions extend far beyond what anyone thought possible. And the galaxy will have to learn that while mankind might have been bruised and bloodied, its spirit never broke...

The Unwanted Prince of Prussia

Power decides fate— but what happens when fate makes the worst possible choice? Reincarnated war-nerd Zhan Ge, whose only real-life experience with conflict was driving military supply trucks in Ukraine “for research purposes,” suddenly opens his eyes in 1903… inside the body of Prince Oskar, the awkward, ignored fifth son of Kaiser Wilhelm II. In the German Empire, he’s supposed to be noble. Disciplined. Patriotic. Elegant. Instead, he’s: – socially anxious, – addicted to military history, – speaking German like an Austrian action hero, and – climbing palace trees to hide from responsibility. Branded “the strange prince,” never taken seriously, Oskar becomes the forgotten Hohenzollern— the prince nobody needed. But Zhan Ge knows something no one else in 1903 could even imagine: Germany is racing toward a catastrophe. The world’s first global war. A disaster that will shatter empires, redraw continents, and erase millions. If he does nothing, the German Empire collapses. He loses his title, his home, his future, and—worst of all— his chance at a peaceful life with a wife, money, food, and absolutely zero trenches. To survive, Oskar must change history itself: strengthen Germany without unleashing darker futures stop the world from repeating its greatest tragedies outsmart rival princes, generals, ministers and avoid accidentally starting WWI early with an Arnold Schwarzenegger one-liner. Armed with a century of historical knowledge, modern logic, and a dwarf attendant who constantly questions his sanity, the most unwanted prince of Prussia stands at the dawn of a new century… Determined to reshape the fate of Europe— or die trying (again).

Ladyhood

After World War III reduced Earth to a graveyard, humanity's survivors cling to life on a dying Mars, only to find their refuge threatened by a mysterious black hole.

The galactic response is swift and merciless. A council of alien civilizations passes a final verdict: "Found guilty of being the universe's only source of harm, humanity is sentenced to extinction. The execution will be carried out from within by manipulating its own men to wipe out its women."

Their only opposition is Ladyhood. A group guided by Surya, a primordial architect of humanity. This rebellion fights for the redemption of the human race, not its ruin. As Bryce's forces manipulate the male population into a frenzied civil war, Ladyhood race to shatter the conspiracy and prove that humanity's flaws are not a death sentence, but a challenge to be overcome. The battle for Mars will decide the ultimate fate of Earth's children. The choice is between a sterile, peaceful universe and a cured, free future for humanity, if they can survive long enough to earn it.

I am now the Leader of a Vampire-Zombie Country!

A Filipino high student from Leyte, named Basilio Valencia died in a landslide but was reincarnated into another world, which is a partial modern and fantasy world with some modern technology. But thanks to an ability called Tech, he still has his phone, journal, and laptop, as well as some pens and journaling equipment.
