This is a story I’ve started writing recently so I thought, why not post it here, right?... more>>

It’s about a boy who gets transported to a fantasy world with his friend (Super Original). But I just want to address that I’m not thinking about making a harem, falling into a dungeon or an op mc (at least not unreasonably op) story. I’m trying to be a bit different so this isn’t the only thing to the story. I already have an ending in mind but don’t be afraid to point out mistakes and give me tips about how the story should proceed. If I like your idea I might take it into the story.

It will be pretty gore and dark. But not in an overwhelming way. But more like not being afraid to depict violence. I’m not going to make a slice of life.

I’ll come out with a better description when I know what will happen xD <<less

It starts when someone takes a life that was never theirs to take.
It ends when every shard drowns and nothing remains of what they once knew.... more>>

Thirteen years ago there was a massacre; a witch hunt of the worst kind with the ashes of innocents falling from the sky.

Now, the world is made up of fragile glass, the cracks sharp and jagged. Hatred boils the crimson sea beneath the surface. All it takes is one wrong move-

A plan to change the world.
A bloody smile with an unspoken apology.
A girl with bleeding hair in the monster filled mountains.
A change in destiny.

-for it to shatter.

This is the story about the second war between nephlims and humans.
This is the story of how everything ends.

This is a WIP and a first draft so any and all feedback is appreciated. I am currently trying to improve and I am (often) blind to my own faults so if you notice anything wrong in grammar, tense, spelling, please let me know.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the story! It's near and dear to my heart so with any luck, I will be able to do it justice. <<less

"To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering."... more>>

-Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Apathetic Futaba is a teenager with no happiness in her life. At school she finds herself a target of bullying after saving her classmate, and at home she is constantly abused by her father, a serial killer. Eternally bored and lacking in joy, she considers committing suicide.

That is, until the girl she rescued informs her of a way to relieve stress, a game called Dregs Game. Once Futaba joins the game and finds herself tasked with killing a complete stranger for money, she is introduced to a new world of murder and violence, and experiences a joy she never thought she'd feel for the first time in her life.

Inspired by the manga 'Duds Hunt' by Tsutsui Tetsuya.

{Note: Dropped. It's a shit story I made just to vent some pent up stuff during a dark time. Writing scenes of torture and brutal violence is pretty refreshing though, so I may or may not try and do a remake in the future where I take it more seriously. Still, don't get your hopes up.} <<less

... more>> 40px;"> This is my entry to the Metus Contest. It will be a mix of Organized Crime and Horror, leaning more towards Horror as the story moves forward.

There are and will be graphic depictions of violence, gore, sex, and strong language. Possibly triggering subjects will be broached. I am in no way glorifying organized crime or any of the activities depicted.

The cover was thrown together by myself using Canva.

I am also posting this work on Royal Road. <<less
