Trapped, entombed, and struggling.... more>>

The last time humanity had seen the natural white light of the sun was a few millennia ago. Left with no other choice but to adapt, countless sacrifices paved the path to survival. Their new lives were filled with daily tests and tribulations. The word 'humanity' had lost meaning a long time ago.

Trials were placed before them, trials that they must overcome to gain the bare necessities for survival. If they want food and water, they need to solve the puzzle. If they want to gain weapons to fight back against the lingering monstrosities inside, they must complete the trial awaiting them. If they want to escape, they need to keep moving forward. Unfortunately for humanity, they weren't here alone. <<less

For this cyborg, power is just an upgrade away. ... more>>

Emmett was used to being caught between college and his engineering internship, but when he gets caught between a powerful hero and an even stronger villain, he becomes collateral damage. Instead of dying, he wakes up a cyborg. Turns out his boss wasn’t just an eccentric inventor, and the old man just gave him a shining opportunity to be a hero.

Except that’s just the beginning, and things are about to get a lot more complicated.

His boss has his own agenda. The boss’s daughter has her own power armor. His roommate works for an evil corporation.

And Emmett is small fry. Just a Class 1 hero.

Superheroes aren’t just masks—some work for corporations, or for the government and the military, and even as mercenaries in wars. Shadowy cabals pull the strings of hero and villain alike. The city of Belport might be peaceful for now, but most of the world is in turmoil. If Emmett is going to have any chance at making a difference, he needs to get stronger. A lot stronger.

How much of his humanity will he hold onto and how much will he trade away?

If you’re a fan of Cyborg, Winter Soldier, Iron Man, or Batman Beyond, then you don’t want to miss this series!

***The Gender Bending Has Nothing To Do With The Protagonist***... more>>

Samuel Roland Raith is a White Court Vampire living his life on the run but is otherwise completely normal. He likes to watch movies, read books, play video games, and feast on the emotion of lust from those around him. His entire race has been wiped out and hunted down by a group of megalomaniacs from the Red Court of Vampires called the Volturi. So, as far as he is aware, he is the last of his kind. He spends his time roaming the world, going through high school and college, again and again, to feed and avoid ever making meaningful connections.

White Court Vampires are unique and very different from their more popular Red Court brethren. Free from bloodlust and able to walk in the sunlight, they live their lives almost as if they were completely human. Their only true weakness is the opposite emotion they feed on, in Samuel's case, love. If he ever were to find love—true love especially—he would be in for a world of hurt. It's a good thing true love is so hard to find!

His newest adventure is at a high school in Forks Washington, and he fully expects it to go just as the last 40 years on the run has. Feed off the lust of teenagers, live quietly, and move on after college. No worries, right?

A/N: This is a gender-bent Alternate Universe version of the Twilight books & movies with a mix of the White Court Vampires, themes, and organizations based loosely on The Dresden Files books. Not all characters will be gender-swapped, but many will be.

The romance will be MC and Alice - If you are looking for that ahead of time.

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

This story is a slow burn and has many lead characters and points of views, so don't expect too much in the first few chapters. I'm a very, and i mean very, slow writer so I'll only be updating this once a week on Saturdays. I also release mini intermission chapters in between my regulars updates sporadically.

This story is also written in a weird experimental playwright style to allow quick and easy conversation between multiple people to occur at once. This style might not might not appeal to some.

Also, if it wasn't obvious, most of the artwork you see in this series is AI generated. <<less

Kaleth has worked as an agent of Luxarx for years. What the average person might see as an exciting, dangerous job has become the routine, and the only thing that fazes Kaleth now is that his habit of wearing suits everywhere is somehow still a thing his teammates tease him over.
But that's all about to change.... more>>

An encounter with one unexpectedly peaceful (and cute) terrorist soldier brings everything he thought he knew into question. If not all Umbra are dangerous criminals, what else does Luxarx get wrong?

As he investigates, Kaleth stumbles onto a conspiracy that doesn't just concern the agency, but also his government, and the whole world. There are monsters hiding in plain sight, secretly in charge of everything since the very beginning - the long-forgotten dragon-gods with supernatural abilities. And they are definitely not as mythological as everyone thought.

Now branded traitors, can Kaleth and his team fight back against the government they once served, and stop a world war before it can start?
