Two Piece Op

OP Absorption

Later that day, Fin was out on his usual scrap run. The safe zone’s edge was a mess of twisted metal and broken concrete, leftovers from when the first Gates opened. He lugged a heavy bag over his shoulder, his boots crunching on gravel. The air smelled like rust and something faintly sour—probably a dead rat or worse. “Yo, Fin! Hurry it up!” his boss, Greg, yelled from the truck parked a hundred yards away. Greg was a squat, sweaty guy who acted like he was king of the scrap heap. “We ain’t got all day!” “Yeah, yeah,” Fin muttered under his breath. He bent down to grab a jagged piece of rebar, his fingers brushing the cold metal. His power kicked in—useless as ever. He could feel every nick and dent in the steel, like it was whispering its boring life story to him. 'Wow, so thrilling,' he thought sarcastically. That’s when he heard it—a low, guttural growl. He froze. His head snapped up, eyes darting around. The safe zone wasn’t *supposed* to have monsters. That’s why it was called safe. But the sound came again, closer this time, from behind a pile of rubble. “Greg?” He called, his voice shaky. “You hear that?” No answer. The truck’s engine roared to life—Greg was bailing. “Fin, move your ass!” the man shouted before peeling out, dust kicking up behind him. “Seriously?!” Fin dropped the rebar and bolted. He wasn’t a runner, but fear made his legs move faster than he thought possible. The growling turned into a snarl, and he risked a glance back. Something big and scaly was charging after him—green skin, claws like kitchen knives, and a mouth full of teeth that didn’t fit right. A monster. A freaking monster.

Blood of Two Realms

In a world divided between humans and demons, Kaien Duskborn stands alone—a half-breed despised by both sides of his heritage. For centuries, the human realm of Solaria and the demon territory of Morbidus have existed in a state of perpetual conflict, their hatred fueled by ancient prejudices and the machinations of power-hungry leaders on both sides. Born from the forbidden union of a human mother and demon father—both executed for their love—Kaien has survived on the margins of society, constantly hunted and forever an outsider. His unique dual nature grants him abilities from both bloodlines but acceptance from neither. Despite this, he harbors a dangerous dream: lasting peace between the two warring races. When whispers reach Kaien that the current Demon Lord Azarok secretly shares his vision for reconciliation, he dares to hope. But time is running out. War drums beat louder as human militias mobilize and demon forces gather at the borders. The fragile stalemate teeters on the edge of collapse as hardliners on both sides push for a final, devastating conflict. Armed with stolen intelligence about an imminent human offensive and aided by a small network of like-minded outcasts, Kaien embarks on a perilous journey to infiltrate the Demon Court—a place where half-breeds are executed on sight. His mission: to confirm Azarok's true intentions and forge an unprecedented alliance before it's too late. As Kaien navigates treacherous political landscapes and ancient hatreds, he uncovers a shocking conspiracy spanning both realms—powerful figures orchestrating conflict to maintain their control and prevent a unification that would threaten their authority. To survive, he must embrace both sides of his divided nature and become what neither humans nor demons expected: a bridge between worlds. With enemies closing in from all directions and the clock ticking toward all-out war, Kaien's quest becomes more than a mission for peace—it becomes a fight for the very future of both realms and a test of whether blood must always divide, or if it might finally unite.
