This is the story of a teenage girl, Cassie Smith, who, after her death, was recruited into Universal Mercenary Company. Something akin to a ‘Rent A Hero Service’, this mercenary company is one which offers its services to deities, devils, and essentially anyone who can afford their service fee.... more>>

To put it simply, they commit the acts which the gods or devils can’t do themselves. Stopping apocalypses, getting rid of universal troublemakers, killing extremely overpowered, non-affiliated of course, demi-gods, etc. Sometimes, they are even tasked with ensuring that a planet doesn't fall apart; naturally, to them though, it is just another job. If the paycheck is big enough, anything is possible.

This story is about how Cassie goes about coming to terms with her new job, serving as a supernatural mercenary for the first time to be exact. With only a few select objectives assigned to her, she was launched into this fantasy like world with 10 years of training, an assistant A.I., a high potential in Shadow Magic, and an itchy trigger finger.

It's not that Darren Laneth is different, just that he... thinks differently than other people. Because they are just that, other people. Two different groups, a level of mental separation. And yet, because of a little separation, he doesn't know what to do with his life.

...

What constitutes as 'human'?

Is it how we act? How society views us? The very makeup of our bodies? This is not what he sees. What he sees is a question, a question that he's been searching the answer to his entire life, elusive and yet all around him. It is what defines a human, what they always strive for, no matter the situation. When given the ability to search for the answer, the only thing left is to take it. The story of Darren, who loses the thing that matters the most to him and searches ever harder to the answer.

Tell me,

What is happiness?

A strong and talented soul was formed and as usual for newly created souls, went to reincarnate. This soul was someone who was preordained to benefit society in their world, in some way. As a world renowned doctor, a genius pianist and artist, a natural actor, a righteous and compassionate general, an assassin who only kills evil, and a hacker who exposed hidden crimes and gave justice to their victims, etc. But something unknown messed with his fate. ... more>>

The doctor created a zombie virus to destroy the world, the pianist was driven insane, the actor was killed earlier than expected and was hated as a coward, the general became a mafia lord who killed people without blinking, the assassin was molded into an emotionless doll who only knew to do as ordered, and the hacker only cared about entertaining himself even if he toyed people to death. All of them had unexpectedly become a villain.

A system who kept the multiverse in check wanted to stop him from continuing like this and help him, but it was already too late. His soul had splintered into six parts from his six miserable lives. So the system decided to let him experience happiness in different worlds to fix and fuse him back together.

The system was satisfied with their choice until they saw...

"Why are they becoming the villain again!?" <<less

Contest Entry for Scribblehub Anniversary V2:... more>>

"Welcome to Twilight City!" He smiled handing me a brochure.

I stare at it with curiosity focusing my attention on the various photos of Twilight City's famous landmarks. "I've wondered. Why is it called Twilight City?"

"It's simple really. Twilight City is the City of Magic, Science, and Mysteries. The most brilliant minds in the world have gathered here to solve the greatest case in history!"

"What would that be?" I asked.

Leaning over to my ear he whispers, "There's an urban legend here in Twilight. It's about a vigilante, a sort of Robin Hood, who kills the rich, takes their wealth, distributes it to the poor, and exposes their crimes. They call him the Phantom of the Moon or Phantom for short. Everyone knows he exists but no one knows his true motives."

In the continent/country of Erda where magic and science combine, Twilight City, the capital of Erda is the hub for all innovations. Kristina (Kristie or Kris) Steinbeck, a girl from the province of Arista, is accepted into the prestigious Twilight University of Magic (TUM) as an Array Research Student. As she settles down in the City, she encounters the city’s vigilante, Phantom of the Moon or Phantom as he chased by the authorities. Due to this small encounter, Kristie is wrapped up in Twilight's greatest case: to catch Phantom and discover his motives. Little did she know, her minor encounter would get her tangled in the web of not only Phantom's secrets but also Twilight City's.

Let the mystery in the moonlight begin!

Leonardo 'Black Tiger' Tigra is your regular local hitman doing average hitman things. Then, some kid accidentally shoots him in the leg. Fine. Shit happens. Until Leo learns that that one measly bullet has landed him smack-dab in the middle of a blood feud between the two biggest, greatest, meanest famiglias of Mariposa City. Now Leo is left scrambling to prove (and in some cases, disprove) his loyalty, his omerta, and his leadership skills. Wait, what was that last thing? Because apparently some people have gotten it into their heads that he'd be a good mafia Don.

Sigh. Everything was easier when he poured acid down people's mouths.

Excerpt:

The wide-eyed boy continued, fidgeting from foot to foot, "And it wasn't my decision." The next thing he said came in a quiet, embarrassed whisper. "My parents sold me off when I was young."

You're seventeen, you're still young, Leo's mind remarked but saying that out loud might've been misconstrued as sympathy, or worse, pity. And it made him seem old.

Leo eyed the teen. "Is this where you tell me your tragic backstory?"

... 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.

Clemencia Alethia Vitus de Chester, a sheltered princess. ... more>>

Life was well for Clemencia until everything turned upside down,

The little princess who didn’t know about the world beyond her mother, the queen lost everything after her adulthood. The most precious loss was of her mother right into her arms.

But the god living in her underworld had other plans. She woke up in the small body of her childhood.

Taking this as a second chance, Clemencia started to unsolve the mystery of the vilest organization, ‘Amartalos’ which was connected with her kingdom and her mother’s.

And this all came with provoking the man whose name was the devil itself.

Ah, Lost Haven. A city for refuge and opportunity. ... more>>

Well, that was how the sign on the outskirts of the city described it to be. And boy, were they wrong.

In this city, rival gangsters were neighbors and your neighborhood black market was only a 15 minute walk away. Instead of a city for refuge and opportunity, it should be a city full of crime and corruption.

But despite this, I still love this city.

It made it possible for me to throw away my past and start anew. Although it was tough the first couple of months here, my training back in the military allowed me to adapt. It didn't take long for me to find out that I could put my skills to good use.

Like a certain criminal mastermind once said, 'if you're good at something, never do it for free.'

So, I used my abilities to become a Fixer. Whether it's completely wiping out a gang to send a message all the way to helping an old lady carry groceries to their home, I can do it.

After all, a Fixer is a person who fixes and solves things. <<less
