Halo City Angel
What happens when an angel falls from the sky? He moves in with a demon and learns to navigate the human world.
Employee of the Multiverse and His Darling Cat
This journal was intended to recount how I, Noble Malik, a leader of the World Management realm, was transported to a strange world and forced to climb the corporate ladder in order to return home. Inadvertently, it seems to have become a diary about the odd worlds and dangerous mysteries I encounter on business trips with my partner, whose secrets and four-dimensional personality leave me at a loss---yet intrigued. And if the reader wants a literary perspective, I suppose it's about how a workaholic loner unexpectedly learns more about what moves people and himself while uncovering a universe-shattering conspiracy. But honestly, that's too philosophical and romantic. I just wanted to see my cat, Darla, again.

Black & Red
If you ever wondered what the colors of obsession are, they're Black & Red.
Red is being hunted by the man who owns the world. Zephyr de Corbin, the World Imperator and King of Humanity, has decided that he must have Red as well. Long ago, Red crossed swords with Zephyr and he'd left the duel a scarred and humiliated man. But instead of losing interest in Red once he'd defeated him like Zephyr was rumored to do, the World Imperator developed an all-consuming interest in the fiery sword master, for Red was the first challenger to make his blood boil and his loins stir. Very quickly, interest turned to an unholy obsession until Red was left with only two choices: either flee or become the tyrant imperator's possession.
Proud and headstrong, Red would rather freeze in the icy pits of Vetiruza itself before he lay in Zephyr's bed. He chooses to flee, abandoning his inheritance to save his honor, virtue and himself from the Imperator's corrupting hands.
Zephyr pursues, for Red plagues his thoughts and dreams, coming to him in the form of a sultry seductor, taunting and daring. As World Imperator, he hasn't lost a conquest yet, and Red would be no different. But first, he has to get his hands on his elusive prey.

Burning Red
Several thousand years ago from present time, (4043) back when the humans existed in this realm, the wolves found out about a new form of technology.
Mindlink.
Slowly, Mindlink had evolved, with the help and grace of the Moon Goddess, when an artificial revolution caused a tremor to all wolfpacks, humans and the entire world.
A new form of power arose, called Fusion. It was a mindlink with the Mind, Body, and Soul, a transgression into a god type of form, a mixture of both wolves, into one bigger, better faster wolf.
It is said to encourage mates to become one with another, pleasures so extreme and accompanied with a sense of completeness that was forever unmatched. But, there was a horrible twist.
SC4 - 19 was a parasite, that when mates fused together for a long amount of time, it was impossible to revert back into their original selves, sealing them together, until they eventually succumbed to the parasite, losing their minds, bodies and souls, into a messy and thoughtless mixture lost away to time and space, their bodies slowly breaking down.
Cities that exploded from overpopulation slowly started being taken over by mindless wolves, until it was unsafe for anyone and everyone. That is, until a new city was founded, meant for the few people left unfused, untouched by the parasite. The Great Bang had just commenced.

Follow the story of Nathan and Joey, two alphas, who tried it out, before the Great Bang was able to take over their lives..
