Dear Leigh Leblanc,
My brother and I have been watching your videos since 2013, I’ve read almost all of your books, I would consider you the most brilliant mind in a field of charlatans (except your ancient aliens video, which was, with apologies, stupid tbqh). Thus you are the only person I can think of to ask advice from in this matter.
I have attached a video to this email which shows the creatures that attacked me and my brother. After the video we were harassed by a woman who identified herself as a Seraph (presumably a reference to the Seraphic philosophy), who kidnapped my brother.
I know what I saw, I know I’m not crazy, right now you’re the only one I know would understand. If you have time let me know your thoughts on the video and what you think might have happened to my brother.

Dear Kish.
I am happy to hear you are (mostly) a fan. I’m always skeptical when sent video “evidence” but yours is at the very least more convincing than usual. It doesn’t seem doctored but I do find myself unsure if the creatures are actually some kind of demonic presence or regular humans moving erratically. There’s never a clear shot of them.
I don’t have enough information to comment further on the situation so could you perhaps provide a more detailed description? If you can describe the woman who called herself a seraph as well. I’ve mostly considered the Seraphic Bible to be mere fiction but I have had my theories on what they might be like if they did exist.
P.S. I am sorry to hear about your brother, I hope that he will turn up soon.

My brother turned out to be fine actually! And it seems they weren’t actually demons after all. I’m sorry to have wasted your time. I’ve waited my whole life for something like this and I guess I got too excited.
“Satisfied?” I said, disappointed that I had to lie to my idol.
“Quite.” Thalia said. “Just the fact that you know as much as you do is bad enough. You are to speak of this to no one.”
“Okay, okay fine fine. I get it.” I said.
PS: It was a one eyed woman with green hair calling herself “Thalia.” Let me know if that means anything to you.

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/

Cennet's Cyborg
Jared Ugo, a child genius under the nickname ‘Ban’ is caught between his own haunting past and a bleak future. Whilst he dealt with the pain of guilt and suicidal thoughts over the years, a storm was quietly brewing. That is, until the person closest to him passed away in an accident. His mind plunges, but alas, this creates an opportunity for him to close the distance between him and his mother, a chance to seize the motherly love he’s yearned for the first time in his life. But that hope would be trampled over as he finally meets the ghost of a man forged from his own sin. He struggles to stay sane as the revenge-driven father seeks to mentally break him down. Jared fights the demon he created, David Cennet, and amidst the hardships, still tries to keep his sense of morals intact despite his growing inclination to disregard them. PS: I've yet to properly proofread this one (when do I ever?) but I figured I'd upload it and maybe get some feedback in the mean time as I'm more focused on other stories and excessive drinking. Enjoy!I've begun writing the sequel!Check out my edgelord novel!

The Wind Shifts
A wandering loner rescues a young exile, and by doing so is forced to reassess his place in the world. Elloreah is one of the rare Ethereal. There is a demand for rare creatures such as Elloreah among the Mythic black markets. Mingan cannot turn a blind eye knowing what will become of her should she fall prey to poachers. By rescuing her, he finds himself pulled back into the vast network and influences of the Tutelar, the shadow organization that keeps the magical elements of Earth under wraps. His fate is soon intertwined with Elloreah's, whose exile from her homeworld is far more complicated than either of them realize. This was an earlier draft of this novel. I'll be removing the majority of the story shortly. I hope anyone reading it got the chance to finish it. If not, and you'd like to do so let me know. I can link you to a finished version. In the meantime, I'm working on the rewrite.
