Echoes of the Maker

Beneath the ancient plains of Jos, Nigeria, archaeologist Dr. Chuka Nwankwo unearths what appears to be a relic from the lost Nok civilization. But when the artifact stirs with light and whispers, it awakens something far older — and far more dangerous — than history itself. The relic, known as an Amour, carries the power of the forgotten gods — fragments of creation sealed within the earth to contain their divine wrath. As Chuka’s contact with the relic transforms him, he discovers within himself the abilities of Divine Perception, Divine Step, and the power to shape the earth. But these gifts come with a haunting truth: every Amour that awakens draws the world closer to a cataclysm that once almost erased humanity. Across the ocean in Manhattan, Amara Roman, the brilliant and conflicted daughter of the Nigerian-American magnate Chief Roman, begins to feel echoes of that same awakening. Her healing hands and her power to sense falsehood reveal a destiny tied to Chuka’s discovery — and to her father’s ambitions. For Chief Roman, whose own Amour grants him Divine Authority and Divine Vitality, seeks to gather all the relics and reshape the world in his image. But Roman is not alone. In the shadows, five powerful figures — leaders, scientists, and dictators — secretly fund his search. Among them hides a ruler who desires a relic said to grant Divine Protection and Divine Might, powers capable of making one invincible and unstoppable. As ancient forces awaken across continents, Chuka, Amara, and Roman are drawn into a battle older than history — one that will decide whether the earth’s memory becomes humanity’s salvation or its final curse. For when the earth remembers, gods awaken. And when gods awaken, the world must choose whom to serve.

Wars Of The Forgotten Cosmos

Humanity once ruled the world through arrogance and greed. Their brilliance reached the stars, yet their pride invited ruin. No one remembers how it began, only that one day, the skies cracked open and monsters beyond imagination poured through, tearing apart everything mankind had built. Civilization collapsed. The world burned. And from the ashes rose a new era of warriors, awakeners, and cultivators. The first generation fought back, wielding powers that defied logic and rebuilding what was left into towering sanctuaries, bastions of hope amid the wasteland. But peace never lasts. Ambition still festers, and those who crave control now move in shadows once more. Amid this fractured world lives Kalen, a boy of no name and no family, raised in an orphanage within one of the Sanctuaries. He dreams like any other to pass the trials, become strong, and carve a place for himself in this unforgiving age. Yet fate has marked him for something greater. Buried deep within his existence lies a secret older than the Sanctuaries themselves something ancient, waiting to awaken. As the veil between past and present begins to crumble, Kalen will be forced to walk a path lined with sacrifice and truth. What starts as a boy’s struggle for survival may become the spark that decides humanity’s next age. Can he endure the burden of power he never asked for? Can he rise above fate to face the coming calamity? This is the tale of an ordinary boy destined to rise beyond what the world calls human a story of ruin, rebirth, and the forgotten legacy that could either save the world… or end it.

Adventuring is Forbidden

They say only fools chase danger… but maybe that’s exactly why the world keeps moving forward. In a realm where sky islands drift among the clouds, monsters guard ancient secrets, and ruins whisper the memories of gods, one legend has outlived every kingdom and every age—the Rin. No one knows what it truly is: a relic, a power, or a dream given form. All that’s known is this—the Rin grants any wish in the world. That promise gave birth to an age of Adventurers—wanderers, dreamers, and idiots brave enough to challenge the impossible. Some seek glory. Some seek redemption. Others just want to see how far they can go before the world breaks them. Among those countless souls is a boy named Dante, a dreamer who refuses to sit still, and his older brother Yamato, whose sword and patience are both constantly tested. Together they chase the unknown—through burning deserts, sky cities, and haunted oceans—all to reach a wish powerful enough to rewrite fate itself. But the closer they come to the truth, the more the world begins to change around them. Old gods stir. Forgotten empires awaken. And the line between wish and curse starts to blur. This is not a story about heroes or villains. It’s a story about dreamers—and what happens when their dreams start to shape reality itself. ... This is my first original novel, so expect things to shift, evolve, and (hopefully) improve as I grow as a writer. I’m experimenting, learning, and building this world one chapter at a time—so suggestions, feedback, and chaos are always welcome! Also yes, before you ask… the cover art is 100% a temporary placeholder until I can finally afford an artist who can bring this madness to life So if you love stories filled with adventure, brotherhood, humor, and the eternal chase for something greater—welcome to Rinseekers. Because in this world, being a fool might just be the first step toward greatness.

The Book of Becoming Prologue: Discovery

The Book of Becoming — Before gods had names, before death had a meaning, Cain broke the first law. He defied Heaven, murdered his brother Abel—then resurrected him. That single act of rebellion shattered the equilibrium of creation, birthing sin, memory, and consequence. Abel returned, no longer mortal. His rebirth was incomplete, a soul rewritten by divine paradox. Now he walks the multiverse as Necros-Babel, the Almighty’s Eternal Witness, Shepherd of Endings, and Paragon of Death—the first Reaper, the shadow by which all others measure their silence. Even gods fear him, for he remembers what they have chosen to forget. Ages later, as time circles back upon itself, the Nine Ascendants rise—each embodying one fragment of the divine equation lost when Abel died: light, flame, shadow, will, void, genesis, mind, flesh, and judgment. They are not heroes. They are the unresolved ideas of gods long dead, summoned by the universe itself to restore balance to a world collapsing under the weight of its own perfection. But deep beneath the ocean floor, in the cathedral of bones that was once Eden’s foundation, Cain sleeps still—his blood crystallized into the Seal of Dominion, binding Heaven, Sea, and Void together. Should the seal fracture, his awakening will not be a resurrection but a rewrite—the unmaking of existence so it may begin again in his image. The Ascendants’ light cannot save creation without first confronting the oldest truth: to ascend, one must consume their own divinity. Each must descend into the heart of their paradox, where their virtues become their devourers, and the shadows of Cain whisper the law of all flesh—that to know God is to inherit His hunger. The final prophecy speaks of the hour when Fire meets Stillness, when the Nine stand beneath a bleeding sky and remember their mortality. In that instant, the heavens will collapse inward; time will fracture; the rivers of light will flow backward; and the sky itself will scream. And at the center of it all, Necros-Babel—Abel reborn, the first and last witness—will decide whether creation deserves to begin again… or end forever.
