The Deal

Ashes of the Golden Beast

In a realm scorched by memory and myth, Ashes of the Golden Beasts paints a world where the echoes of fallen titans haunt the edges of firelit silence. This is not a tale of heroes or villains, but of presence—ancient, trembling, and unresolved. Each page pulls you deeper into a land undone, where silence speaks louder than prophecy, and the embers of the past glow with unspoken truths.

The Legend of Kwan

You’ve heard of legends, but none quite like Kwan. A self-proclaimed Triad member with a flair for overconfidence, Kwan’s antics were the stuff of suburban folklore. From fanning wads of cash at bus stops to wielding a laughably tiny knife in the face of real danger, Kwan’s life was a chaotic blend of misplaced bravado and unintentional comedy. But don’t be fooled—this isn’t your typical hero’s journey. It’s the story of a man who lived loud, laughed harder, and somehow always managed to turn life’s simplest moments into an unforgettable spectacle.

The Deal

In Grade 8, Victor and Dean couldn’t have been more different—Victor was hardworking and determined, while Dean preferred shortcuts to success. When Dean uncovers Victor’s passion for video games, he hatches a plan: trade a “rare and amazing” game for a history assignment. What starts as a simple deal quickly turns into a lesson in trust, effort, and the unexpected consequences of taking the easy way out. But as tensions rise in class and a shocking revelation disrupts the usual routine, Victor and Dean’s dynamic takes an unexpected turn. Some deals, it turns out, aren’t worth the cost.

Blades and Blunder

In the summer of 1997, survival was a game of wits for Dean and Kwan, two high school friends navigating life on the edge. For Kwan, inspired by the gritty underworld of Hong Kong’s Young and Dangerous, survival meant more than just bending rules—it meant carrying a secret weapon: a wrist knife he flaunted with reckless pride. When a daring plan to sneak onto a bus spirals into a tense showdown with two mocking girls, Kwan sees an opportunity to prove his dominance. But in a battle of words and bravado, can his two-inch blade hold up against cutting wit and the laughter of a crowd?

Twists, Turns, and Trickery: A Wonderland Adventure

Victor was never a thrill-seeker, but when his best friend Dean convinced him to visit Canada’s Wonderland, he had no idea what he was in for. From the rickety wooden drops of the Wild Beast to the upside-down twists of SkyRider, Dean’s promises were as unreliable as the roller coasters were thrilling. As the day spiraled into a whirlwind of adrenaline, laughter, and soaking wet surprises, Victor learned that sometimes, the wildest rides are the ones you never see coming. Will Dean’s playful tricks push Victor too far, or will they lead to the adventure of a lifetime?
