From idea to ink.

I’ve always loved dark urban fantasy. I was initially drawn to its intense action, dangerous worlds, and supernatural conflicts. But what fascinated me most were its morally grey characters and psychological depth—the darker sides of people, the choices they make, and what they become when pushed beyond their limits.


That inspired me to begin The One Uniting—a Western novel with anime DNA, where Western storytelling meets the intensity of anime.

You can purchase the books on Amazon or follow the series on Royal Road.

Era of Monsters: The Man Who Smiles

Summary

In a modern world where monsters, secret organizations, and forgotten powers thrive in the shadows, the seemingly carefree Drin is pulled into a reality that should not exist. What begins at a crime scene becomes his entry into a hidden war where supernatural abilities are commonplace and survival is never guaranteed.

But Drin is no ordinary bystander. As lost memories and traces of a forgotten past begin to surface, his path draws him toward ancient threats, the mysterious organization JUDGE, and truths that extend far beyond a single investigation.

What starts as a single case soon becomes the beginning of a new life – one that will challenge everything what Drin thought he knew. Yet, Drin himself is only part of something much bigger!

04 · Introduction

RT Black Stories are more than just stories, they are emotions!

I’m RT Black. Before I ever wrote stories, I was a student who watched his creativity being boxed in. School taught us to follow rules — not the way we felt. With every attempt to fit in, my passion faded. I know what it means to lose your spark. That’s why I write about reigniting creativity — because I had to rebuild my own from the ground up.

05 · About me

The person behind the pen.

In a world full of stories, I found myself no longer excited — reading and watching just to escape boredom. That’s when I realized what I truly missed: the thrill of getting lost in a world, the joy of seeing characters come together, and the heartbreak when they drift apart.

So, I decided to create the story I was searching for — one that makes readers feel everything. My goal is to craft unforgettable worlds that pull you in so deeply, you won’t want to put the book down.

Because to me, words are far more than letters strung together. They can open doors, heal wounds, spark emotions, and even reignite forgotten love. Words carry the power to transport us to another world, to mean nothing and everything at the same time.

That is why I do what I do — because behind every word lies a story worth sharing. And mine begins with these words: “Let me tell you a story.”

06 · My mission

Stories that stay with you after the last page.

My mission is simple: to write stories that make people feel. To thrill, inspire, and even ignite passion. I want my words to reach readers in a way that stays with them long after the story ends — to move hearts, spark emotions, and awaken imagination. I will not simply write on paper, I will write into your heart!

“Behind every word lies a story worth sharing.” That’s the promise I try to keep with every chapter I write.
