Thinking...💿 Thinking...💿"Dragged into a demon-
infested hellscape as part of a botched assassination, five down-on-their-luck strangers must survive not only the monsters hunting them, but the god-like 'hero' they were brought there to kill."

Iwana
(The Rogue)

Why This Series?

This series is a manifestation of my mission to explore deep, human struggles through the lens of mythic storytelling. As a military veteran and systems thinker, I have a ground-level understanding of how diverse groups function under extreme stress, and this story is a direct reflection of that clash between grand plans and chaotic reality.
