## Disambiguation

The Face of God is a story comprising several novels. There are also other stories that are in the Face of God Universe; most of these stories are ideas created by the the author for other books that haven't been written. The author admits this simple fact, yet still conceptualizes the separate stories to be within the Face of God Universe, if only for simplification of his writing tasks. There are three main stories, two of which are conceivably possible to be real world scenarios, one which has mystical elements. They are as follows:

### Dorian and the Seven Staffs

*Dorian and the Seven Staffs* takes place in a desert world, filled with Arabian like architecture and design, arguably taking place during the "God Saga" of the original series, as this explains the mystical elements present; what it doesn't explain is the lack of peace. The centers around the ruler of the desert landscape and him giving his region of the land over to his young son Dorian who is just reaching adulthood. Dorian wants to hand it to his cousin Salandre (female) after his father dies even though it's not customary, particularly because Salandre isn't royalty or apart of the lordship at all. Dorian is an explorative type who wants to fight for something, and doesn't feel he can lead. The land they live in has been plagued with many weird natural events--ranging from snow covered sand, screwed up gravity, mists that bring diseases, and other disasters related to the environment--which are attributed to "the perversion of spirits," basically, evil spirits who are causing bad things because nature is out of line. The concept is similar to the Silent, and could even *be* the Silent, as it all relates to bad taking the place of good that has vanished. Dorian meets with Salandre and they go on a quest to place seven magical staffs on seven different pillars, which will restore nature to its original course. Dorian has to climb each pillar as the evil spirit the staff fights against him. Salandre assists with her guards from the region she's from. The main antagonist is ruler of the of the ten sectors that gets the allegiance of most of the other regions and they try to stop Dorian for a yet unfounded reason.

### Gems

*Gems* is a down-to-earth story of a young entrepreneur named Joel who takes an idea to start a jewelry business using overseas manufacturing and runs with it. The story starts small and follows quaint friendships that Joel gains, beginning with his strange choice to market his simple product using the platform of an up and coming young Russian pornstar with the entertainment name of Sara Selfie. Joel's closest friend Peter is against him at first, but follows Joel on his strange journey, which starts with he and Joel going to Moscow to sit in on one of Sara's video shoots--there they meet the videographer, Sara's uncle Dago, her American friend Alexis acting as a wannabe marketing agent, and Sara's porn partner Pietov. The story only gets quirkier from here as Joel finds small successes growing his manufacturing, getting deals with other pornstars and influencers, and eventually hiring design managers who are as quacky and unqualified as he is. Joel and Sara end up forming a partnership, and the two put a new name on the now-official company. Events after this lead up to Joel working in the porn industry, not as an actor, but as a manager, and his jewelry manufacturing revolves around that. Although this wasn't his intention at first, Joel learns that the industry is just a vehement and filled with competition, swindlers, cheaters, and honest people as any industry in the real world. He makes enemies, friends, and more--and then the story is thrown into a twist: Joel finds out the industry is connected to human trafficking. From here, the story travels the the road of being a fantasy moreso than a real-to-life drama, as such connections as kidnappings, the missing 411, illuminati, and child abductions are connected to the industry, which although by no means includes *only* evil men, leads to Joel discovering how dark the recesses of the industry are. The story goes even further to say that not only things like Chinese human trafficking fuels the industry, but introduces instances such as Bigfoot and other cryptids as other-worldly demons who are sacrificed to in order to keep certain people in power. The whole things leads to Sara, Joel, Pietov, Dago, Peter and a few others seeking shelter from the gods of the industry while trekking across the Russian tundra, as law enforcement from several nations is involved. The story ends with Joel, who at this point is one of the leaders in the business side of the industry, continuing to work in the industry until he sinks it with him in an effort with stop it or slow it down. The story is called *Gems* because of a play on words in regard to both Sara and Joel being Geminis, while also owning a business which sells jewelry.
