Wowie's Followed Works
The Phantom Lear
The world of Atrium was once corrupted by the demon king of vampires, Dracula, who ruled with a bloody fist and sharp teeth. Now it is haunted with the ghosts of its past. Abandoned by the Lords Above, the people of Atrium have only themselves to fend off the demons and monsters. The Reapers, guilds specialized in hunting malicious specters, have but one goal left; to seek the King of Phantoms and bring his reign of horror to an end.
Reaper officer of the Belmus Guild, Ray, sets off to find the King of Phantoms, after a terrible tragedy strikes her team. She will fight demons and defend herself against bloodthirsty vampires, all while seeking the truth and clawing her way through hell to save her loved one. Perhaps Dracula's legacy is more than just a scary story. And maybe there is more to the King of Phantoms than meets the eye.

[A Slice-Of-Life LGBTQ+ Story about the Messiness of Life & Chosen Family]
Matthew Robinson's career as a teacher seemed to have stalled, yet when the winds in the East suddenly lands him in the employ as a nanny, Matthew realizes he's probably signed up for more than he bargained for.

The house, historic as it may be, is ready to fall apart, which is now his responsibility; one kid is ready and willing to curse him, while the other is a literal ball of sunshine; and his employer is amazingly distant and critical; all of which he didn't remember reading in the job description. Matthew's suddenly very ready to jump ship, yet the longer he stays, the more he realizes they need him just as much as he needs them.
There's no flying umbrella, no carpet-bag, no spoonful of sugar, and no magic here. Oh, how Matthew wishes he had it as easy as Mary Poppins.

THAT FIRST BREAK (Broken Redemption Prequel)
Choosing her cost me everything I’d ever loved… including her.
I had everything a guy could ask for, a loving family, the perfect small-town life, and a promising future I had worked hard for.
It should have been enough.
She was off-limits, my parent’s best friend’s daughter, practically my sister. I fought my feelings, pretending our soul-deep connection didn’t exist. When she confessed she felt the same, I pushed her away, believing our friendship mattered more than temporary infatuation. That she agreed should have come as a relief, but it left me with this void I didn’t know how to fill.
It’s what drove me to the bonfire that night. Right there, with our friends as witnesses, I claimed her. Told her I loved her and made her promises I shouldn’t have made.
Hours later, it all came crashing down in a whirlwind of fire and ashes. That one split-second choice to go after a girl that wasn’t meant for me cost me everything I loved.
I never should have crossed that line or given in. It’s why she’ll forever be my greatest love and deepest regret.
This tragic story is the beginning of our end…

Summoned as a Ghost in another world
Hiroki is not your average protagonist. He is a mysterious, reclusive man who was regarded as one of the best students in his school. Despite being an ace in almost every subject, no one knew his true nature or what kind of person he was. He was seen as a cold individual who refused any sort of interaction.
Despite that, he had many people under him who respected and provided protection in school, making him feared by most of the students. He was considered the top student that even the principal looked up to.
However, one day after school, his life took a drastic turn when he fell unconscious due to immense pain in his back. But the moment he opened his eyes, he soon realized that he had ended up in a different location — in an abandoned, ruined village.
With his knowledge of games that he used to play and a status window welcoming him to this place, he quickly realized that he had been summoned to another world.
But wait... as a ghost?

SILK AND STEEL
The world ended. The apocalypse came. The gods waged war on each other across the realms of reality and at last wiped themselves out. Angles and devils took the souls they wanted to who knows where. And then it was over. And you and others like you were left behind. Maybe your soul was trapped inside your body and couldn’t leave. Maybe it was bound to a demon. Or maybe you have no soul at all.
