Emrys Ambrosius has been a fan of reading since he was five. Escaping to fantasy worlds with dragons, like in Eragon or the works of Tolkien, that passion for reading only grew to encompass all things “nerd.” His passions include D&D and video games like Oblivion, Skyrim, and The Witcher, especially The Witcher 3.
He began writing when he was thirteen years old…and never finished anything he started. A peek at his Google Docs would find dozens and dozens of half-finished projects. It wasn’t until he was 29, married, and with two kids that he was finally driven enough to finish a book. By this time, he had discovered a way to turn his love of D&D and video games into stories on the page.
When reading his books, you can expect well-written action and, hopefully, a few solid punches to the feels.
Bullet Through Worlds
Bullet Through Worlds
Marcus Thorne was having a perfectly normal Tuesday night until reality decided to malfunction. One electrical surge. One impossible portal. Suddenly he's in a fantasy world where magic has rules that actually make sense, and the locals think he's something called an "Enchanter."
Marcus prefers "guy with a gun who makes really creative ammunition."
Ice bullets for crowd control. Fire rounds for the truly deserving. Anti-magic projectiles for spellcasters who think they're untouchable. When you understand precision and problem-solving, you can do interesting things with magical firepower.
The trouble with being good at solving problems? Everyone brings you their problems.Monster infestations. Corrupt nobles. Government agents who want to chat about his methods. And when Marcus helps a young woman escape her psychotic father's abuse, he discovers some problems come with serious consequences.
Now he's hunted across kingdoms by professional killers, wanted by the government, and still trying to figure out if doing the right thing is worth all the people trying to kill him for it.
Good thing he's been upgrading his ammunition.
In a world where magic meets marksmanship, every problem becomes solvable. Very precisely. Dresden Files meets The Witcher meets Trigun
What to Expect: -Overpowered protagonist who earns it through innovation, not level grinding
-Slower, meaningful progression focused on skill mastery over stat increases
-Solo gunslinger with dry humor and questionable life choices
-No harems, no overwhelming system spam
-Tactical combat with creative magical ammunition
-Morally complex decisions in a world that doesn't do simple answers
For fans of sarcastic antiheroes and protagonists who prefer practical solutions to magical problems.
Wyrmhaven
Some dreams have a cost.
Ash Lorcan is a simple farm boy who wanted to be an adventurer. But the path he must take comes at a price no one should have to pay. Setting out with a mysterious mentor, he journeys to the famous Wyrmhaven Academy, where he hopes to enroll. He will undertake monster contracts, grueling training, and confront harsh realities about his world. He will learn dangerous truths about himself, and uncover dark secrets about Dominion.
Ash Lorcan is about to learn that sometimes, you're better off not dreaming.
What To Expect:
Slowly earned progression.
Unique magic system.
Think the Witcher meets King Killer, with a dash of Cradle thrown in.
Lore, and study.
Here there be dragons.
Rough draft. This book isn't polished beyond a cursory pass through a grammar checker.
Book is more than half-way done and signed with a publisher. I will be finishing it.

Nexus Awakening: A LitRPG Apocalypse
Varus Thorne is on a path to power. A Star wars inspired LitRPG
THE NEXUS AWAKENING
In a world on the brink of transformation, Varus Thorne lived an ordinary life building houses for other families while cherishing his own. One night changed everything.
When the Flux, a mysterious energy connecting all living things, awakens on Earth, it brings with it monstrous creatures, devastating disasters, and the sudden collapse of society. For most, it means death. For some, it grants incredible power.
For Varus, it brings only loss.
Rescued by Lady Vash Acaelus, a representative of the enigmatic Nyxen who claim to master the Flux, Varus is taken to their world to become an initiate in their deadly games. With a mechanical respirator sustaining his damaged lungs and a crimson-cored blade in his hand, he must navigate treacherous alliances, collect ancient seals, and unlock the secrets of his own bloodline.
But as Varus grows stronger, developing abilities no initiate should possess, he uncovers fragments of truth about the Nyxen and their real interest in him. Their intentions are darker than he imagined, and the voice calling to him through the Flux offers both answers and power.
In this Star Wars-inspired LitRPG apocalypse, one man's quest for vengeance will either fulfill an ancient prophecy or destroy what remains of both worlds.
Power is a path paved with sorrow. His began with blood and screams. It will end with something far worse.
