Capitalist Hellscape

Shadow Assassin: Dual Attributes

(!The credit for the Book Cover goes to the creator, it isn't mine!) It is a hard living in the new age of the modern world, on Earth. Especially if you did not have any Abilities; it was the case for Quinn. His parents were ambassadors, and secretly, Assassins working for the 'greater good'. Wars were quite a frequent occurance on Earth, leaving only ravaged remains of the once beautiful planet. Although, the once frequent wars had stopped and the world finally entered a fleeting age of peace, the larger powers were in a deadlock and in high geopolitical tension. The majority of the interstellar planets and bases were owned by Capitalist powerhouses that held only base value in high regards and sought after strong trans-humans: an evolved species of Humans that were compatible with Ability Dews that were found on alien planets and could extract and use different types of supernatural Abilities themselves. Quinn's parents were sent on an obvious su**ide-mission on the battlefront of some planet by the Governance of Earth, to 'fight and serve' their home-planet by fighting off the opposition consisting of a terrorist group called the "Elementals", and secretly, a whole another unknown enemy... Receiving their last, parting gift, Quinn got his hands on something that was completely out of scope for normal Humans, or any other intelligent race that could possibly or ever will exsist. It was of unknown origins when his parents found it, and only he would be the one to discover its true functioning and creator. He would become something that was nothing like a Human... he would forsake his life and living, only to find the truth about the artefact and why it chose him. He would fight enemies of the peaceful inhabitants of Earth in hopes to protect those that he once loved, when he was still Human. Furthermore, he would fight other beings in the shadows of different realms; discover secrets of the Universe and the one above it all. No, not God; nor the Great Old Ones. Nay, not even the Outer Gods. But, the one and only... above creation itself: a dream that birthed it; the Absolute Being. Existing in the Real World, out of this wretched Dream of his. Only by meeting his real origins and awakening, would Quinn be able to escape this accursed cycle that only he knew the truth of; alone, would he protect the mortals... in hopes of protecting only those that he loved.

VRMMORPG: Inferno Online

Dragged into the depths of Gehenna along with what was left of mankind, Adam finds himself trapped in a once virtual world of inconceivable horrors, living an existence where survival is a privilege to few and a cruel gamble to many. Within this depraved new world of demons, manic torment, and endless suffering, Adam must face not only the diabolical enemies that naturally plague him but also his own failing sanity. As Adam struggles to thrive in this world, he discovers an unsettling anomaly. Every time he dies, he stumbles back to life, but not within his own body but in that of another unsuspecting sinner down in hell with him, almost like lady death was granting him a pardon, a reprieve from the undesirable permanence of death. With each return to life, the lines between his own identity and that of those he takes over begin to blur, his own name and image eventually being forgotten and left to the cruel hands of time as he is drawn deeper into the chaos of the circles of hell's design. Bearing the name of the first man, made in God's own image, favoured by him, Adam finds his existence to be brutal irony, as his life is nothing short of all but favourable. While everything around him is condemned to the permanence of the judging hands of death, Adam remains a living paradox, a varied constant that is cursed with the means to remain persistent in a hellscape that allows none to escape. As the Atrocities of his now lived existence, Adam must make a decision: Is immortality in hell truly a blessing or damnation? -- It's worth it, up til chapter 16 at the very least -- add 'playing with hexes' on discord if you want to be added to the server

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe

“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic isekai story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? _______________________________________________________________ This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.

ABOMINABLE. Ponies and Rainbows

Meet sister Anett. The most humble nun you can possibly imagine. Patient, pursuasive, and devoted to herself with nice intentions but unfortunately, she's a big liar, her known past nothing but a web of lies she weaved to get into the convent. In her defense, she had to. She was the last born child of Adam Givens, a well known entrepreneur with the largest Venture Capitalist firm in north America. Now Adam is dead, willing his empire to her, instead of Mathew his eldest son, whom everyone believed he'd been grooming from birth. Or Roma, his first daughter, breathtakingly gorgeous, incredibly self oriented and the queen of manipulation. Or Voss, his second son, so sweet and kind but with a weird prefence to solitude. Now Anett's world is upside down, kidnaped from the peaceful life she made herself but not knowing by whom. The man responsible for it, Mr. Aittitos, a pseudonym given by the authorities to Calvin Hayes. A hitman with no record or known identity, never known to fail. Neither Anett nor Mr. Aittitos himself had an idea who sent him but now the man won't kill her. It's not like he's not trying to, but everytime he tries, he comes down with a terrible case of the shakes and sweats, maybe it's because he was sphenisciphobic. And it doesn't help that she was freaking calm and critical about the situation, trying to put the pieces together in her head, instead of terrified, because of the impending death in her future. The adrenaline was fading the deed was undone, Mr. Aittitos was crumbling before his captive and sister Anett was all for it, sinking into Stockholm syndrome. Everything is happening too fast. And someone is in control of everything like some great chess game but no one seems to have a clue.

The Gone

"What is this place? What happened to me?" "You died, and now, you're in The Gone. At least, that's what I've been calling it. From what I can tell," She leans over, retrieving a canvas bag full of papers. As she spreads them on the floor, she continues explaining, "The creatures here are insane. They don’t have the same instincts most animals do, they just want to kill. I don't know if they were created by God, satan, some guy named Dave, or what. I don't even know if I believe in God. But I do know that when you die here, you don't come back. You're the fourth human besides myself I've met in The Gone. This," she pauses, thinking of a correct word, "Place, is endless. Twists and turns and always new areas. I've been all over and yet, no humans besides myself, and now you. What I don't know about it is why you show up all of a sudden. But we probably have no hope of finding out. Our min priority is surviving. It's not safe to be alone here, especially if you don’t know your way around. We need to stick together. Work together. To do that, you're gonna have to trust me. Can you do that, Sunshine?" Then, she was looking up at Ana. Her eyes were the color of dark mahogany, with shines of sienna; along with a mischievous glint seeming to reflect the corners of her mouth, which were fighting a smile. In fact, they were every shade of brown you could imagine. A raw umber and caramel mix, dotted with bits of dark chocolate. They glow with humor and playfulness that gives you shivers and wraps you in a warm embrace all the same. And all Ana wants to do is say yes. But she knows better. "I’m not sure. Should I?" comes out instead. The girl gives her a lopsided grin and slight nod before moving on- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ana is thrown into a sinister new world with creatures unknown to mankind. She needs to learn to scavenge, fight, and survive. With the help of the family she makes along the way, perhaps they have a chance at staying alive. Perhaps, they could escape? Maybe, she'll even find someone who loves her unconditionally along the way. Or, will the chaos of this hellscape tear them apart before they even get a chance? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
