The Curse of the Half-Breeds : A Fantasy LitRPG GameLit Adventure (Levelling Up Together book 2) Kindle Edition
Zemeland has always loved its labels.
Human. Elf. Dwarf. Useful. Dangerous. Acceptable.
And then there are the half-breeds—too much of this, not enough of that, forever expected to apologise for existing.
When a curse mark resurfaces, it does not choose its victims at random. It settles into old prejudices, feeds on fear, and grows stronger every time someone decides that “different” is the same as “wrong.”
A quartet of unlikely companions—bound more by circumstance than a call for glory—find themselves caught in the fault lines of a world that prefers simple answers and visible enemies. Their quest begins like so many others: with good intentions, heroic assumptions, and a firm belief that doing the right thing will lift their curse.
Zemeland has other plans.
But the curse is not merely something to be lifted—it is something learned, repeated, and justified.
Witty, warm, and quietly furious, The Curse of the Half-Breeds explores identity, inherited fear, and the cost of belonging in a world obsessed with purity. With gentle LitRPG and Romantasy elements, layered love without spectacle, and humour sharp enough to draw blood when necessary, this is a fantasy about growing up, standing out, and choosing compassion when it would be easier to choose silence.
Because monsters are rarely born.
They are taught.
Step into Zemeland—and decide for yourself what kind of hero you are.
The Curse of the Half-Breeds is the second book in the Levelling Up Together series, following The Forgotten Five and preceding The Price of Doing Right (in progress).
Each novel can be read on its own—but together they tell a larger story.

When Platinum Rusts
How far would you go to preserve what little of humanity remains—before you stop recognising it?
Doctor Selest Dvali is running out of time, resources, and moral excuses.
On the ruins of a failed colonisation project, she attempts the unthinkable: to engineer a new kind of human strong enough to survive the end of civilisation—without knowing what that survival will cost.
But the deeper she goes, the more the lines blur. Ethics erode. Mistakes multiply. And every failure leaves a permanent scar.
Among towering forests and half-living machines, Selest’s experiment becomes Eternum’s last fragile hope—and its greatest risk.
This novel stands fully on its own, uncovering a buried legacy that later generations will try—and fail—to understand.
A quiet, unsettling dystopia about love, responsibility, and the lies we tell ourselves when survival is at stake.
Perfect for readers who enjoy morally complex science fiction and slow-burn biopunk—atmospheric, character-driven, and unsettling, without the nihilism.

The Forgotten Five
The Forgotten Five: A Fantasy LitRPG GameLit Adventure (Levelling Up Together book 1) Kindle Edition
A thoughtful LitRPG fantasy for adult gamers who know that clever choices matter more than raw power.
When a halfling bard named Digram uncovers a forgotten melody, it pulls him—and three deeply flawed companions—into a quest where every choice carries weight.
There are no easy victories here, only clever risks, quiet courage, and the consequences no one plans for.
While the world of The Forgotten Five is not ruled by floating stat screens, it follows the logic every gamer understands: skills are earned, teamwork matters, and trying to game the system always has a cost.
Perfect for readers who enjoy smart LitRPG, character-driven fantasy, and stories that reward thinking over brute force—without sacrificing humour or heart.
If you’ve ever lost yourself in a game—and carried something real back with you—this story is for you.
Start the quest. The first choice is yours.

Vist & Proper Ganda
Vist and Proper Ganda: A Dystopian Technothriller Fantasy novel (Book 3 in the Who is Vist series) Kindle Edition
Book 3 of 4: Who is Vist
Oh, no! He is back!!!!
After a few long and peaceful centuries, a prosperous colony of earthlings began to forget what violations of the laws of survival could lead to. But evil is incredibly tenacious. It can wake up at the most unexpected moment, and heroes have to stand up again to protect the remnants of civilisation in the distant constellation of Lyra.
In addition to new genetically modified races, a whole group of loaders now live in the colony. A “loader” is artificial intelligence in symbiosis with the human organism. They can still fall in love and clearly distinguish between good and evil. Does this make them human, or is it the ability to create something new?
Some scholars call loaders Homo Deus.
In book 3, a genderqueer loader, Vist, keeps fighting against the evil that finds new ways to manipulate people’s minds.
