With little more to his name than a winning smile, his life takes a turn for the interesting as he befriends Serina, a rebellious young woman among the god-like Devas that control his realm. Being a test subject for her magic seems innocent enough, even if she occasionally tinkers with things she shouldn’t.Unfortunately, her experiments on him don’t go unnoticed and as soon as her family finds out, he’s as good as dead. About to be pulped by dozens of angry higher powers, Serina saves him the only way she can: by binding his soul to hers and flinging him through a portal to another world.Landing in the realm full of dangerous creatures and sinister adversaries, he finds that the pact has changed him in more ways than claiming his soul. The newly minted adventurer has his work cut out for him, especially since he doesn’t have any idea how to use the magic that’s been stuffed into him, much less what to do about the oaths that require him to love freely and spend his nights carousing.Join TJ on this riveting adventure that spans multiple worlds and help him discover the secrets of the Devas as he struggles to survive and fulfill his oaths.Disclaimer: This series features a protagonist raised in a higher realm where free love and indulgence are the norm and has a set of morals and ethics that are different from our own.

Also, this story is not game-lit, it doesn't feature crunchy rules-heavy stories, there's not a stat in the house, the MC doesn't exploit world mechanics, nor is it for the faint of heart. For 18+ readers only.

     The 'Skirmishes' have left the land in absolute ruin. The last few remains of civilization are Citadels; corrupt, oppressive and dangerous for most who inhabit them. Outside, 'The Big Waste' is a stretch of an endless damaged landscape that has been scorched, poisoned and left to decay by the horrors of constant war. The constant threat of Citadel bounty hunters, mutated animals, ghoulish, formerly-human mercenaries, and all-powerful gangs looms over everyone. Happiness is unlikely, conflict is frequent and death is certain. When an accomplished demolition derby driver decides to take a seemingly simple delivery job outside the citadel for a little adventure, he learns very quickly why the first day in the Big Waste can often become your last. Disclaimer: This book contains brutal violence, unconventional morals in a post-apocalyptic world, detailed sex with harem elements, non-human females and a little bit of dark humor.

    Surprised by the sheer violence of the attack, they are no match for their foes and are killed one after the other. As Sepios’ body sinks into the depths of the ocean, mere seconds from breathing its last breath, he manages to transfer a shred of his divine essence into the pearl of a giant oyster. When he finally comes to, it is to find that ten thousand years have passed. The creator god is but a shadow of his former self. Weak, with no more worshipers to chant his name and fuel his power, he barely has enough strength to see past the shell of his oyster. Worse, the world he now inhabits has turned into hell on earth. Not only has the ecosystem been completely disrupted, with the ocean being ravaged by parasites and monsters, powerful storms and abnormally high temperatures are not making it any easier for gentler life forms to survive. And that’s just what’s happening below the surface. As he sets on a mission to restore the balance, Sepios will have to contend with a cruel sea witch, giant horrors from the depths, as well as Inquisitors—the representatives of the new gods on earth. He will have to find a way to expand his domain and create sea villages… but more importantly still, he will need to bring people to him and gain their devotion. And to do that, Sepios has a plan: to build field zones for adventurers, that he will fill with treasures, so as to test the mettle of these men and reward their bravery. In short, he first needs to become the master of the sea if he is to ever regain control over the land above. But Sepios must beware. Under no circumstance may the usurpers or their Inquisitors learn of his presence, or else he might not be so lucky as to escape death this time around… Tales of a Sea God is a kingdom building, 4x lit series with hints of dungeon core.
