Disclaimers:
- Short story. Story ends after a climax event. Character focused. Lore-light.
- For this short story, immersion is driven by the characters. The setting and world are only fleshed out to the extent needed by the characters. That said, I will fix any inconsistencies as I become aware of them, and the same goes for grammar and typos.
- The narration is technically in third person, or close third, but the script is mostly the characters self narrating or dialogue with some inner thoughts written in italics.
- Content warnings: This story has some R18 content (<5k words), lots of Strong Language, and a very small amount of Gore. <<less

Luca Moreno has always been the good guy, forever doing what he can to make sure that justice is not only served, but done so fairly. Which is why he went into law enforcement.

With his close friend and co-worker Adiv, he plans to destroy the mafia from the inside out, thereby putting an end to the corruption and terror it incites.

Then he meets Raven, niece of the Don, and she changes everything -- his role within the organization, his feelings, his goals, his morals, and ultimately, who he is entirely.

Living within our world are ‘Origins’, humans with special powers. ... more>>

Throughout the years, their existence had been kept a veiled secret by the ‘Cordiale’, the first and most powerful organisation of Origins to be formed. Using the Origins’ special abilities, the ‘Cordiale’ double-deals in secrets, conspiracies, manipulation, you name it, toppling governments and reshaping the world as they see fit.

But beyond the facade of secrecy lies deeper machinations. A prophecy foretelling the apocalypse had begun to come to fruition, and the Cordiale was at the forefront of stopping it.

‘Iv’ is in a tricky spot. As one of the Cordiale's seven leaders, she now faces the task of preparing for otherworldly armageddon threatening both her people and the rest of humanity, all the while having to deal with rogue Origins and anti-Cordiale groups that threaten the organisation's established world order.

___________________________

What to Expect:

A bit amateurish writing. The chapter count is within the 1k-2k range within the first 17 chapters, but picks up to 2k-3k afterwards. I try to improve my writing as I go along, and have a habit of editing narrations in past chapters.

A lot of the whole ‘secret-organisation’ genre in a contemporary setting, with power plays and politics sprinkled within the story between ‘Iv’ and their six other colleagues.

A pretty overpowered main character ‘Iv’, who usually sticks to doing paperwork but still fights from time to time.

Besides that, occasional slice-of-life scenes and character development.

Gore, swearing and action scenes (Action gets better over time I promise).

Various POVs from different casts, with ‘Iv’ and her allies as the main focus. <<less
