Between Heaven and Clay is a philosophical sci-fi saga about survival, transformation, and the cost of becoming what you need to defeat. When a mysterious phenomenon known as the Shift tears through Earth, humanity is forced into rapid evolution—gaining extraordinary abilities, curing impossible diseases, and accelerating technology beyond comprehension. But every gift comes with an unseen cost, and the more the world depends on Shift, the less it understands what it is becoming. Kade Morrison, an ordinary man caught at ground zero, dies in the chaos—only to return changed. As governments weaponize Shift and superhumans emerge across the world, Kade finds himself pulled into conflicts that blur the line between savior and threat, human and something else entirely. But the deeper he goes, the more he realizes Shift is not just changing Earth—it is reshaping destiny itself, pushing both him and humanity toward a future that feels disturbingly inevitable. Forced to confront visions of what he could become, Kade is left with a haunting question: if every choice still leads to the same horizon, does freedom lie in changing fate—or in accepting what it turns you into along the way?

If you're here for a black-haired prodigy who unlocks their true powers by chapter 3, then I thank you for your time, and politely suggest you turn around. This isn't that kind of story. An amnesic wakes up in a doll's body, empty, no name, no warmth, no talent. Only memories that never existed, trapped inside a surreal, collapsing world where nothing makes sense and purpose must be carved by hand, she is not the chosen one— She isn't even chosen. This is not a world that rewards effort, and yet she will bleed for progress. Train for hours. Swing poorly. Stand again. Fail again. The story follows her— the Lamb of Clay— as she stumbles through horror, sanity, memory, absurdity, and silence. There is no harem. No system screen. No instant gratification. Only someone with no history, trying to forge meaning in a dying dream and learning about life through philosophical conundrums. Yet at the same time, if you came just to see something really edgy, then this might not be what you seek. The doll will actually spread wings, these wings may be broken, but even broken wings help you to fall. This is my billet-doux (a fancy word I've always wanted to use but never had the chance) to the written world. Sometimes it feels like a light novel, and other times like a novel. It's not perfect because it's not meant to be; it's mine, and I enjoy it being mine. So prepare yourself, because my dream is ending, and I have to at least leave a footprint in this world of what was once my dream. (As I mentioned before, this is my billet-doux, probably in 5-10 years the process of writing will just be a bunch of AI's with our personal data so I had to rush this without properly learning everything I wished I could, even if it's not a 10/10 masterpiece, the work is good enough to be at least 7/10 I also might or not might teach you something.) Please share, and give comments about what you think... Any feedback is appreciated as long as it makes sense and isn't pointless or biased rambling. English is not my main language ---- Works that my friend said are similar: The metamorphosis, Made in Abyss, Dark Souls, and Puella Magi Madoka Magika... (I genuinely don't see it with the last one)

Bobby likes Pabst Blue Ribbon, NASCAR races, and throwing fireballs. A through and through Georgia boy, raised down in the sticks but now working with all things mystic. He is, in other words, a magician. Not just any magician- but one bound by the most egregious of terms: business contracts. See, a long time ago, Bobby got himself involved with a dragon whose business was making magicians, and Bobby wanted magic to be his business. Both of them having common interest, Bobby agreed to sign over his services in exchange for phenomenal (draconic) magic. A pretty awesome deal, right? The contract put him at the top percentage of human magicians, on top of having the backing of a dragon patron, and a fantastic set of benefits befitting an esteemed contractor, so it'd be smooth sailing from then on, right? Not so. That kind of power isn't granted without strings attached, and Bobby's practically bound up in them. Following the esoteric laws set forth by magicians , juggling them with the mortal interests he still has to abide by, and finding himself at the beck and call of a fickle and opaque patron makes his life as a magician a rollercoaster of ups and downs. But when his patron sets him on a strange task- with stranger company, no less, even Bobby has to question what his mission really is. Delving into fantastic crimes and cracking open mysteries is just the least he can do, and he'll do it with the help of his gun, his wand, and his trusted allies both large and small. --- Cover art pending. Chapters released on a semi-regular basis, at least one every two weeks, sometimes more. Also published on Scribblehub, Royal Road, and Offprint under the same title! You can find me on Discord here. I post updates on work in progress stuff there sometimes. https://discord.gg/ScGFRErhrY

Stella Sterling, born into wealth, had always followed the rules. Jaded by the hypocrisy of high society, she suddenly had a whim one day to have an ordinary romance. Thus, a fabricated rumor that Stella Sterling had spent a fortune to hire a Matchmaker from a dating site to find her a partner quickly spread through her circles. Those on good terms with her teased and watched the fun. Those on bad terms with her waited to see her become a joke. Later, an employee from the dating website revealed, "The company was acquired with an investment from a Vicenzan tycoon, and the profile of a certain female member with the surname Sterling was hidden overnight." The public speculated wildly about the identities of the Vicenzan tycoon and the female member with the surname Sterling. - Later on, a candid street photo that was accidentally captured went viral. In the dense night of The Spire on Vesper Island— Beside a Benz, a handsome, composed, and dignified man lifted a striking beauty in a red dress with one arm, pressing her against the car door and lowering his head for a deep kiss. In the faint light and shadow, the woman's flowing hair was swept by the wind, wrapping around the man's finger, which wore a pinky ring. Like a footnote to a romance, and even more like a vintage film frame etched into the axis of time. Someone immediately dug up the man's identity based on clues from the photo. The eldest son of Vicenza's Rhodes Family—low-profile and inscrutable, cold and untamable, and also the powerful contemporary authority of The Vesper Circle. And the alluring, glamorous belle by his side was none other than Stella Sterling. When the street photo spread to the mainland, everyone excitedly exclaimed: "The case is solved, the case is solved—"
