Krista have you tried illustrations, I spent a weekend playing to create some AI art for battle in chapter 12, it was fun. I don't know how readers will react as I saved them on my blog future dated entry for extra content, but it's another way of using AI images

Set during the events of Omen II, I wanted to offer an alternate reality for Damian Thorn and his cousin, Mark Thorn. This is not a horror story despite the subject matter.

Damian Thorn faced his cousin, Mark Thorn, who had forced him to admit the truth to him. Mark had overheard Dr. Charles Warren, the museum curator, and learned the truth that Damian Thorn was the antichrist, the child of the devil. However, Damian did not kill Mark outright, because he had developed feelings for him over their years of shared experiences in the military academy and other boarding schools. He knew Mark shared the same feelings for him and offered the mortal boy a chance to join h

Just an FYI, I began playing with AI prompted covers as well. That's how I created my current cover for "Of Pride and Power" Here's 4 covers that were honorable mentions, if readers prefer these over the one I have as cover, I'm open minded:

I use prompts as a way to experiment with ideas and concepts, they're fun and intriguing ideas that can help jump-start imaginations. Of course, I don't write every prompt; one of the cardinal things that I've learned is that inspiration and your motivation need to go hand in hand, if you are not inspired by something, forcing it will just hurt your writing.

I don't quaff as much anymore Perhaps, it's for the best, I get very philosophical when I am inebriated.

Thx guys, I do enjoy playing with the concept. Like I said, isekai inspired me, so I wanted to make relationships with complex roles, Eli is not your typical dom/dominatrix,

After the ambush in Benington, our group of six journeyed for five days on foot, traveling at night and making camp in the day in secluded caves and underbrush. We had gathered several daggers, swords, and axes from Thomas Denny’s men, which helped throughout our journey. Peter gathered wood, Pippen gathered grass and reeds for bedding, and Prudence gathered berries and nuts. Puck inspected their treasures for poisonous vegetation. Francis went hunting for rabbits and birds. That left me wi

Chapter 7 Well, the explosive sex scene at the end of the chapter hopefully will be enjoyable for some folks, who have written to me about the need to explore Eli's innate Dom qualities. 😛 Those books I referenced are actually not bad reference material, slightly dated, but not bad introduction. The story of Siproites is an actual incomplete Greek myth about a boy being turned into a girl. The later storytellers and interpreters during the Roman era considered it a punishment to lose one's manliness and that interpretation has stuck. However, in the mindset of this story, I had a different thought about the concept of the missing Greek myth. What if Siproites weren't punished for liking the female body and in fact wanted to join the female-only hunters of Artemis? Wouldn't that change the entire concept of the sex change story from punishment to one of transgender acceptance? Not sure if it can ever be proven one way or another, but in my universe, the original story was meant to give kids an option to choose their gender identity. As for introducing a Dom/sub dynamic, Francis is a guy who has devoted his life to "the last shall be the first" prophecy that involves Eli. To him Eli is literally the goal of all his motivations and desires. Plus to add insult to injury, he received glimpses of historical Sir Francis Walsingham, who was devoted (and possibly depending on the source) in love with Elizabeth. The most important thing for a natural sub is "devotion to serve", which Francis has in spades. If the BDSM crew think I am off the mark, feel free to comment. This week's law of power is 19th Law of Power "Know who you are dealing with". This is simple, Eli and the other characters are getting to know each other, especially Francis. Relationship dynamics can be affected by knowledge. ------------ Notes: 1. The myth of Siproites was referenced by the Roman Antoninus Liberalis in a collection of incomplete Greek myths used for educational lessons in the 1st century AD. Many people use his incomplete version of the story as justification that a sex change from boy to girl. 2. Joyce Denny is the mother of Francis Walsingham, she lived from 1507 to 1560. She was married twice first to William Walsingham until 1534 when he died. Then married again to John Cary, until 1551 when he died. She had 7 children combined and many grandchildren in our history.

I am glad you enjoyed it

Reality is filled with madness, who is to say there's not another avatar in the multiverse like Jules, who was driven mad and continues to play with his toys to this day

The old saying never put down your weapon in the middle of a fight is quite astute, but Jules fell into the Horny teen horror trope, thinking with your dick while under the influence of an ancient artifact is dangerous

Probably

I drew my inspiration from Lovecraft's line: "In the face of cosmic horrors, the line between sanity and madness becomes blurred, and sometimes, it's the mad who truly understand the incomprehensible." The idea that effect can precede cause, the coming madness is correlated with the instability brought by power, and confronted with ceaseless chaos, you have to just accept the madness to be content.

Thanks

Thanks, I am not sure if many people enjoy the horror as much

My laughter continued, as I lay down on the floor, looking up at the ceiling. Kevin, Allen, and Brian stood outside the ritual circle, staring at me, while the ancient one floated nearby. I felt a power emanating from within me, and it was not evil, not good, or neutral. It was simply a power beyond all mortal comprehension, a power that was the essence of existence itself. The Ancient One entered Kevin's body and merged with him. "Excellent, I can feel power and understanding like not

Agreed, it's why I added so many warnings to this chapter as a writer I don't like writing Horror for this reason. It's incredibly difficult to write. Evil in its most sadistic and uncompromising form is devoid of empathy, love, and hope. It can drive people to the point of insanity and beyond. I took apart the worst aspects of a sadistic villain and broke them into 3 redeemable characters and had 1 character with all the aspects who was beyond redemption under any circumstance. Be glad this isn't a horror novel, I chose to do this as a small mini-series novelette to minimize the scenes to this one chapter. The last chapter will settle all accounts and there's a Happy Ending

After Kevin and the entity had come down the stairs, I stood up naked and walked toward the two, feeling no shame or embarrassment for what had transpired. My body was still hot from the intense fucking that had just happened and my cum still leaked from my dick. I knew that I wasn't moving on my own accord, but Kevin had subconsciously commanded me to do this through the use of the Avatar Box. Despite the knowledge that he had acquired powers, an inner voice in me kept telling me that it was le

If you read in-between the lines, Kevin was the one who summoned the entity and set everything in motion. I sort of hinted at his evil nature during the first part, when he set up such an elaborate prank on Jules with Brian and Allen. However, his plan wasn't merely to set up a prank, it was to lead Jules down the path that he did. Evil villains in horror are extremely elaborate and manipulative. Jules' conscious thoughts were being overwhelmed by the various powers and time limits of the Avatar Box. He thought he knew the horror rules and could outplay the game of a horror movie. However, he was merely a pawn.

Allen tried to be intimidating standing in front of us in a vampire costume with a metal crowbar that was probably used to gain access to the asylum. However, I knew he was no threat to Mark or Brian, and not me with the new powers I had just gained after unlocking two more sides of the cube. I now had mastery over Fear, Desire, Pain, and Pleasure. The entity and his Avatar Box must be huge fans of Clive Barker, but I wasn't interested in dominating Allen or hurting him per se. I walked in

A little puppy play isn't bad as long as the other guy consents 🐕

As we walked back into the Asylum, I played with the Avatar Box again and unlocked another side of the cube. I opened the second power, which I knew innately was the power to mold desire. Fear is the power to manipulate people to reach your goals, desire is the power to mold people to reach your dreams for them. I liked the way that the show Lucifer summarized the extremes with Tom Ellis playing both the misunderstood pansexual devil Lucifer with power over desire and his twin brother the conniv

This story is fun and sensual

Glad it does, I took a bit of history and some fun fantasy elements to create something different. Good to know, I am glad that I am getting some readers You are my biggest fan Chris
