Coffeepen

In a war-torn land where thunder is born from trench lines and loyalty is buried beneath the mud, Ragnar is no hero. No medals hang from his chest, no songs are sung in his name. He is a nameless drifter armed with nothing but a vow—whispered at his mother’s deathbed and carved into his soul like a wound that won’t close.

Her final words were fragmented, veiled in riddles and sorrow, but they left him with a fire that won’t die. When his own bloodline mocks her grave and desecrates her memory, Ragnar walks away from kin and comfort. He walks into the storm—into the scream of shells, the silence of the dead, and the thousand-yard stares of soldiers who’ve seen too much.

Among the ranks of broken men and splintered dreams, Ragnar finds his estranged brothers—torn apart by past sins, now fighting side by side. Every battle chips away at who they once were, reforging them in pain and grit. But Ragnar’s path is not just one of bullets and bayonets. Something deeper stirs beneath the surface of this endless war. Something old. Something watching.

The vow he carries may be more than a promise—it may be a key. To victory. To ruin. To something that was never meant to be unearthed.

As secrets surface and enemies tighten their grip, Ragnar must decide: What did his mother see in him? Is he merely surviving, or is he becoming the man his mother wanted him to be? And if so… what will he have to lose to find out?

Oathbound Odyssey

I will be taking a one-month hiatus starting July 21, 2025, to address pressing personal matters, conduct in-depth research on history and combat mechanics, begin university, and brainstorm fresh, innovative ideas to captivate readers. I appreciate your understanding and look forward to returning with renewed energy and exciting content.

I am announcing a temporary hiatus from my work, effective from July 21, 2025, for a duration of one month. This decision has not been made lightly, as I deeply value the connection I share with my audience and the joy of creating content that resonates with you. However, several significant factors have converged, necessitating this brief pause to ensure I can return with the quality and creativity you deserve.

First, I find myself entangled in personal affairs that require my full attention. These matters are complex and may take considerable time to resolve. While I won't delve into specifics, I can assure you that addressing these issues is essential for my well-being and will allow me to come back with a clearer mind, ready to produce content that meets the high standards I set for myself. This period will be one of reflection and resolution, ensuring I can devote myself fully to my work upon my return.

Second, I am committed to enhancing the authenticity and depth of my content, particularly in areas related to history and combat mechanics. To achieve this, I plan to immerse myself in thorough research. Additionally, I will be rejoining my old MMA gym to reconnect with the physical and mental discipline of martial arts. This hands-on experience will not only refine my understanding of combat mechanics but also inspire dynamic, realistic elements in my future work. By blending scholarly research with practical application, I aim to craft narratives that are both engaging and grounded in authenticity.

Third, I am embarking on a new chapter in my life: starting university. This transition is both exciting and demanding, as it requires significant time and energy to adjust to academic life. University represents an opportunity to expand my knowledge and perspectives, which I believe will enrich my creative output in the long term. While the initial weeks will be intense as I settle into this new routine, I am confident that this experience will fuel my growth as a creator and bring fresh insights to my work.

Finally, I want to take this time to brainstorm new, unorthodox, and original ideas that will excite and inspire you, my readers. I've always strived to push boundaries and offer content that feels fresh and unexpected. This hiatus will provide the mental space to explore unconventional concepts, experiment with bold storytelling techniques, and develop ideas that break from routine. My goal is to return with a renewed creative spark, delivering content that surprises, delights, and resonates deeply with you.

This one-month hiatus, ending around August 21, 2025, is a strategic pause to ensure I can continue delivering work that meets your expectations and reflects my passion. I am incredibly grateful for your support and patience during this time. Your encouragement has been a driving force, and I'm excited to reconnect with you soon, armed with new ideas and a revitalized spirit. Stay tuned for updates, and thank you for standing by me as I navigate this period of growth and renewal.
