In the city of blood, where shadows dance among the flickering lights and whispers echo through the labyrinthine streets, there exists a darkness that seeps into the very soul of the metropolis. It is a darkness born of forgotten dreams and shattered hopes, a palpable presence that hangs heavy in the air like a suffocating fog.... more>>

In this city of blood, where the heartbeat of the urban sprawl pulses with a relentless rhythm, there are tales untold and secrets buried deep beneath the asphalt and concrete. It is a place where the sins of the past stain the present, where the lines between right and wrong blur in the dim glow of neon signs.

Amidst the chaos and corruption, there are those who navigate the shadows with a grace born of necessity—a ragtag assembly of survivors and sinners, each with their own demons to wrestle and their own battles to fight. They move through the city like ghosts, slipping between the cracks of society, their footsteps muffled by the din of the streets.

And yet, amidst the darkness, there are glimpses of light—a flicker of hope in the eyes of the downtrodden, a spark of defiance in the hearts of the oppressed. For even in the city of blood, where despair hangs heavy like a shroud, there are those who refuse to surrender to the darkness, who dare to dream of a better tomorrow.

In the city of blood, where the sins of the past cast long shadows over the present, there are whispers of redemption—a chance for the lost and the broken to find their way home. It is a city of contradictions, where beauty and brutality collide in a symphony of chaos and despair.

But amidst the darkness, there is always hope—a glimmer of light in the heart of the night, a beacon of promise amidst the ruins. For even in the city of blood, where shadows reign supreme, there are those who dare to defy the darkness and forge their own path to salvation. <<less

In most novels I've read so far, there are often people of this kind erected as the love interest. And they are not explored. Don't you want to know how it feels to be on the other end of the love interest treatment?

I ask for the readers to be patient with the protagonist. His actions may seem unreasonable and cringe, he is very small in age, and as he has an abnormal way of thinking, he may seem hatable.

The protagonist of this story has a very pessimistic and sadistic nature. Sometimes possessive.
I want the readers to see him grow up and deal with his abnormalities.
Please try to sympathize with him even a little.

Updates will be random. 3 Chapters minimum each update.
Currently, this is the writer's complete self-indulgence. I wanted to explore the mind of a childhood part of life and what would have happened if it got the chance to develop more severely. <<less

In my high-school there are two major unspoken rules: ... more>>

the first unspoken rule is to never mess with Mr. James, one of the school math teachers. It is rumored that he used to be an underground boxer who simply got into teaching after getting tired of beating people. A jacked guy that is actually smart? No thank you, I'm not messing with that.

The second unspoken rule is that you never mess with the Grace family. On the third day of high-school I managed to break that rule.

You see, on the third day of high-school I was stopped by pretty bitch and her jock friends who were probably just looking to get off bullying someone less popular than them. As usual I didn't take any of that and lets just say I embarrassed them pretty good. unfortunately for me that bitch happened to be Melissa Grace, the niece of the principle and someone I shouldn't have messed with.
Since I'm on a scholarship I cant exactly fight back without the risk of being expelled so ever since then I have been getting bullied daily without being able to do anything but fighting back with words. That is until I got a bizarre chance to fight back. <<less
