A city ruled by power, money, and souls. Where great criminal syndicates have gained the power of demons and bent reality to their will, but below it, a new force has arrived the demon hunt that aims to eradicate all demons within the city, they are the only ones that can kill that those cant be killed.

These are the chronicle of the devil hunters, the man, and woman that have decided to hunt the most powerful demonic rules of the impossible city by calling demons of their own.

When silent falls whose tale will be sung upon the sky of the city? Who will stand on the top of the last bastion of humanity? A cruel hunt begins among those who sell their soul for the dreams shining on the grand city lights and those who wish to snuff out its light.

This is a collection of short stories, of those who live in a modern fantasy world laced with magic, hidden from those unable to perceive it.
Each retells their view of their world and its interactions within and without. Of a world where the supernatural and mundane blend and the residents deal with the challenges presented.... more>>

The numbers on the Chapter denote chronically what order it occurs for that character in the title.
Each poem and fragment of a story is told from the view of its POV character.
(There will be something of a plot, though there is room for interpretation.)

I will be releasing a chapter every few days until this Novel is complete. <<less

A start for someone and a creation of nonsense (probably) inside a Dimensional story that I hope you enjoyed. This is a fanfic of MPS Society, and other fandoms included. Every character that isn't new to your ears isn't mine. ... more>>

Also, if I somehow don't post a chapter, I probably still polishing and fixing the chapters I've published. I'm growing up, and I now see the beginning chapters as if I'm seeing trash.

Enjoy. <<less

Ellie would not fail.
Geoff would not try.... more>>

High-achieving Ellie Gardner meets intentional slacker, Geoff Cobalt, throwing their previously steady life trajectories into chaos. Ellie is an adopted daughter of a midwestern crime family in dire straits, sent to Orange County, CA not only to get a college degree, but to make connections with another local emerging crime family, the Sinclairs. Geoff is the secret grandson (also adopted) of a legendary supervillain. Despite this, he prefers to eat junk food, light fires, steal, and play video games. Therefore, Ellie is recruited to keep his college studies on track in exchange for training from his grandfather. She needs to study, survive, and learn to budget both her money and time between her many obligations. She can't do it on her own. But when everyone is putting on a front (including herself), who can she trust?

And while they don't realize it, there are many hidden eyes on them.

"Ellie was on her own.
Geoff was on his own.
They only had each other."

All are original characters. There will be some illustrations/portraits painted by me using traditional mediums :) Sometimes the links get broken, so I really appreciate that if you let me know!

There are 8 arcs planned, this is currently the first arc. Sometimes I'll go through and update with more details/plot points as they shift around, so don't be surprised if some details in old chapters change!

Currently posting a new chapter every Saturday and sometimes Wednesday if I've made extra progress.

Set some decades into the future so I can play around with technology.

General content warnings/disclaimer: There will be some laws broken, violence, verbal threats, involuntary confinement, breaking and entering, arson, body modification, poisoning, occasional death. You might call the genre cozy crime. The tone will generally be kept light and the characters may seem callous at times. This is many of the characters are criminals. They are not meant to be role models. Do not take this story as legal advice, security advice, or as a guide on how to commit crimes. This is fiction and any resemblance to people, places, and things real or imagined are coincidence. <<less

Something akin to a sequel of "Birth of the Absolute Asura & True God" on ScribbleHub (as well as just a prequel in general to my other novels).... more>>

Within the first mortal realm to exist - Genesis - mortal kind is on the backfoot as powerful spirit beasts rule over the world after usurping what little progress the weak managed to make with their own civilisations. Over 90% of all mortals on the surface are enslaved whether to the various dragon families, the Radiant Lion's Empire or various other smaller factions that existed. There were a few bastions where fairness was valued such as where the mighty Vermillion Bird rules over all of bird kind with justice or the Kitsune of Bloodleaf who never forgot their task in maintain nature.

The largest population of free mortals was actually under the sea... But that is not the focus of this story.

Instead follow the little black cat who was labelled a freak by the mighty lions as she finds herself a new toy to play with; the princess of the seas who does not know what to do when being confronted by the harshness of the surface. Together (and with those they meet along the way) they work to create an upheaval within the corrupted system as they challenge the source of the Primordial Era. Yet both will come to learn that their principles may not be as aligned as one may have initially thought...

Soune Argent wants a quiet life.... more>>

However, such a privilege is rare on Durendel.

Pockets of civilisation are kept in check by growth-hungry corporations and a stern-handed government. Any and all actions are watched by an orbital ring ready to stifle conflicts before they can start, scouring outcasts and undesirables from the face of the scarred planet. All for the sake of maintaining peace.

Soune Argent is a victim of this peace. Narrowly saved from the destruction of her home as a child, she was raised in and taught to survive the chaotic lands that litter the world. Now alone once more, she seeks to claim a spot for herself within an Oasis' and finally live a life free from struggle. The path to peace is hardly a straight one, fraught with conflicts and conspiracy. Along the way, Soune discovers she isn't quite as alone as she thought, or that the history of the world is as straightforward as it seems.

To survive on Durendel is a struggle, to thrive even moreso. To be happy is a fight against the system, a fight worth picking.

Inspired by a myriad of settings and stories spanning from the peaks of high fantasy and sci-fi to low, grounded character driven dramas; Stray Stars blends dark fantasy elements into a conflict-fueled future, focusing on the people who struggle against that world and the connections that are forged from it. <<less

Star had always run from her past, too afraid to look over her shoulder and find it lurking there. When she discovered she was bound to a dragon—things got more complicated. Now, corporate and government agents also chase after her—giving her another reason to run.... more>>

This story is a combination of perspectives (1st, 2nd, and 3rd). Star's is in 3rd, the dragon is 2nd, and Prometheus is 1st. This is intentional and there's going to be a shifting of this over the course of the story. So, it's not an error, rather, it's a feature. :) <<less
