Cop Beat Cop

**Gets Updated Every Wednesday & Saturday** Nate arrives in Blackridge with nothing but a duffel bag, a mysterious past, and fists that know their way around trouble. This isn't your typical "new kid in town" story-this is survival in a concrete jungle where the weak get eaten for breakfast and the strong learn to love the taste of violence. Lia runs her family's greasy spoon diner and clings to her principles like a life raft in a tsunami of corruption. In a city where doing the right thing is practically a death sentence, she's carved out her own little kingdom of defiance-one that comes with a price tag written in bruises and broken bones. She's never had time for love, relationships, or anything softer than steel-toed boots. Between juggling work, studies, and her daily dance with danger, romance seemed about as realistic as finding unicorns in the unemployment line. Her only dream? To escape this concrete prison and the ghosts that haunt every street corner. But then Nate crashed into her world like a wrecking ball with a sense of humor. When eight thugs corner her in an alley, most people would call the cops. But in Blackridge, the cops are probably placing bets on the outcome. That's when fate-or maybe just really bad timing-delivers her an unlikely savior who fights like poetry and jokes like therapy. Now everything is changing, and neither of them knows where the chaos will lead.

In a neon-lit city where memories can be stolen and sold as currency, tormented ex-cop Kyren Sable is haunted by fragments of his lost past. Drawn into a vast conspiracy that blends technology and ancient sorcery, he finds himself protecting an enigmatic woman—Celestine Vale—whose existence holds the key to a forgotten prophecy. As corporate overlords manipulate dreams and rebel factions stir in the shadows, Kyren must navigate betrayals and impossible choices. Every confrontation pushes him closer to the edge of sanity, forcing him to question the nature of reality itself. The stakes grow cosmic: memories begin to literally shape the world, and the boundary between love and oblivion blurs. When even one’s name can be erased, Kyren faces a final question—what will he sacrifice to reclaim a truth beyond dreams?

The world didn't end with a bang, but with a terrifying, agonizing stretch. Now, under a perpetually bruised sky stained by an ominous, unblinking red counter, humanity fights for every breath against an army of rapidly evolving infected and a planet that warps and shifts beneath their very feet. Kael, an utterly average guy whose biggest challenge used to be assembling furniture, thought he was utterly doomed—until a mysterious, transparent panel flickered into existence before his eyes. No grand destiny, no heroic call, just a sleek, silent interface that promises one thing: **Amplify (x1)**. From turning a flimsy broomstick into a marginally less flimsy weapon to making stale rations slightly more palatable, Kael's peculiar "cheat sheet" offers meager, often comically underwhelming, enhancements in a world where every fraction of an advantage is life-saving. But as the line between survivor and monster blurs, and the infected grow terrifyingly smarter, Kael quickly learns that even a small edge demands a heavy price. He's forced to navigate a brutal landscape filled with more than just the undead: there are the ruthless warlords carving out their fiefdoms, the desperate pioneers trying to rebuild, and the hidden psychopaths lurking in the shadows. Amidst this escalating chaos, Kael finds himself caught in a fragile alliance with **Elena**, a no-nonsense ex-cop whose tactical brilliance and hidden potential might rival his own strange gift. But she's just one piece of a larger, more dangerous puzzle. As he struggles to understand his own newfound ability and its limits, Kael will cross paths with other formidable women—survivors forged in the crucible of the apocalypse, each with their own unique, powerful skills and unbreakable wills. Not all of them will be allies, nor will they be easily swayed. Some are as lethal as the infected themselves, and others hold secrets that could reshape this broken new world. In an apocalypse where power means everything, and life is terrifyingly cheap, Kael's "cheat Sheet" isn't a guaranteed win—it's just enough to make things interesting. And terrifyingly, irresistibly alive.

Then ball lightning struck. Now he's trapped in 1978 Miami with disco music, Art Deco decay, and an impossible discovery: he can rewind time one second for a dollar. But the money burns away forever.

Kyoline Diego was born of blood, betrayal, and gunfire. Born of a Respectable Made Man, a child who frightened a few but was cherished by all. Her world was destroyed the day her father was assassinated and her family left for dead. Eighteen and jaded now, Kyoline makes friends with bartending shifts, gun-running, and caring for the siblings nobody else will. Love is not on the agenda—survival is. But there's Tenz Jersey, her mafia beau, all tattoos and broken vows, who kisses like sin and lies like the bible. He gives her protection, passion, and anarchy in equal measure. She tells herself he's enough, that he's the only one capable of making the threat feel like home. Until Isaac. Cold. Deadly. Unapologetically deadly. He grabs her and stuffs her into a black SUV, and claims to be a cop, and whisks her off into a game of questioning, control, and cannoli. Only Isaac's not NYPD—he's the mafia's best hitman. And he's staring at her way too hard. He notices what others do not—her quick wit, her raw edges, the fire she keeps hidden under her golden dresses and guarded smiles. He is not trying to save her. He wishes to see how far she will go to save herself. Now Kyoline is caught between two men who both report to the same violent underworld—and both want her for different reasons. One wants to cage her up. The other wants to burn her alive. But the mafia doesn't believe in love. The mafia believes in loyalty. And Kyoline's loyalty might cost her everything—her heart, her freedom, and maybe even her life. In a world where love is poison and trust is a weapon, one girl must decide if she's a pawn in their game… or the queen who burns their kingdom to ashes.

"We need to talk, " she said, following him out of the house and closing the door behind her. "I had enough time to spend with a dunderhead like you," she heard him say, and she fumed.

This is a world where music isn’t just sound, it’s power. The gods created humans and blessed them with energy called Vibes. With it, they could harness the power of music, shape it, bend it. That gift earned them the name “The Blessed.” Sounds beautiful, right? Like some fairytale? Yeah... no. This world’s messed up. While the gods were out creating humans, the demons were doing their own thing in the shadows. They made people too. Gave them Vibes... but at a cost. The demons fed off them, stealing their life little by little. Stealing from the power that they gave them. The people they created didn’t live long. So the world called them “The Cursed.” Naturally, the Blessed hated the Cursed. And since the Blessed outnumbered them, the Cursed were pushed to the edge, isolated, bullied. Lyra was born into one of those cursed bloodlines. But unlike her family, who spent their lives trying to break the curse, Lyra didn’t want to run from it. She wanted to use it. Twist it. Make it her weapon. Together with her crew of cursed misfits, she’s fighting to survive in a world that was never meant for them. They’ve been dealt a bad hand. Now they’re flipping the table.

I should’ve run. When the blood-soaked man collapsed on me in that alley, I should’ve screamed. Called the cops. Bolted. But I didn’t. I can't even say why. He threatened me yet I dragged him home. I disinfected his wounds. I let him stay, hoping he'd leave me alone but he didn't. And now? Now the devil sleeps on my couch, cooks me breakfast, and kisses like sin itself. He says his name is Kieran. Says he’s hiding. Says he won’t hurt me... unless I give him a reason. But the men hunting him aren’t just thugs. They’re ghosts in tailored suits and bloody silk gloves. Politicians. Kingmakers. Killers. And he’s not just some criminal. He’s the Kingpin. The one they whisper about when the lights go out. The one they’ve been trying to erase. I was just a miserable office girl with a boyfriend that was both a green and red flag, a family who barely registered my presence unless to mock me or demand for money and a life going nowhere. Now I’m in the crossfire of empires. My name is Kina. And I think I’ve fallen in love with the last man on earth who deserves it. But love won’t save us. Only war will.

Naomi Kintu was born in a world of crime and cruelty. After watching his mother gunned down by a gang over an unpaid loan, he was taken, broken, and nearly lost to the streets. But he survived. Became a police officer. And dedicated his life to dismantling every gang tied to his past. Case after case, he earned the title “Silent Killer”—a ghost in the shadows, serving justice with precision and fury. He solved 99 crimes. The 100th took his life. But death wasn’t the end. Naomi awakens two years later… in another world. A land ruled by swords, magic, and divine power—where there are no laws, only "righteous judgment" handed down by the strong. Chaos thrives. Innocents suffer. And the word justice means nothing. Reborn in the frail body of a noble boy long thought lost, Naomi finds himself in a world that needs something it's never had before. Not a king. Not a hero. But a cop. Now, with a new name, a new world, and no badge to protect him, Naomi must rebuild the very concept of justice from the ground up. Because evil doesn't care what world you're in. And justice… doesn’t die so easily.

The world is inhabited by two types of people: Humans and Irregulars. While Humans, who make up the majority, enjoy equality across different classes and cultures, Irregulars are a marginalized minority often kept separate from society. Their supernatural abilities, either inherited or awakened during adolescence, mark them as different, and often, dangerous. Three unique perspectives are about to collide: Elliot: A foster kid who stumbles into the wrong place at the wrong time, only to discover that he is an Irregular. Up until now, he's lived as a human, but his world is about to change in ways he never expected. Wendy: A determined young cop searching for her missing partner. While investigating a restricted area, she encounters Elliot and takes him in for questioning, unaware that this meeting will change the course of her mission. Devlon: A boy classified as an Irregular for as long as he can remember, kept hidden from the public eye. His life has been one of isolation-until now. With society pushing for Irregulars and Humans to integrate, tensions are rising. Each of these three faces a world that demands change, but how they respond could alter the future for both groups. When their small worlds collide, will events finally lead to peace between humans and irregulars? Or will this spark a new conflict altogether?

When university student Theo Ramirez has a chance run-in with Officer Mara Delaney, a solitary and sharp-witted policewoman with a past she keeps tightly guarded, neither expects the encounter to spark an unlikely, age-gap friendship that reshapes both their lives. Set against the backdrop of a tense campus protest, institutional scrutiny, and public misinterpretation, Parallel Lines explores the fragile space between trust and assumption, intimacy and visibility. As Theo navigates accusations, alienation, and the weight of being “too close” to someone like Mara, the two form a bond that defies categorization—one forged not by romance, but by mutual recognition in a world that prefers simpler narratives. When whispers swell into hearings and headlines, both must decide how much they’re willing to risk to remain part of each other’s lives. Spanning years, careers, and quiet acts of devotion, Parallel Lines is a story about the quiet heroism of platonic love, the resilience of chosen connection, and what it means to stand beside someone—especially when the world tells you not to.

I’ve faced criminals, gunfire, and danger on the streets of Dallas for over a decade as a police officer. But nothing—absolutely nothing—prepared me for the silent, invisible crime that would almost destroy me. It started innocently. Like many people trying to secure a better future, I got into cryptocurrency. I wasn’t reckless. I did my research, joined forums, read whitepapers. Eventually, I was introduced to an investment platform that claimed to specialize in crypto growth through high-frequency trading. They used real terminology, had convincing dashboards, and even fake customer support agents who followed up weekly. It seemed legitimate. They sold me the dream of financial freedom, of early retirement—something we all wish for after years of risking our lives in the line of duty. Over the span of 6 months, I poured over $180,000 into the platform. Every last dollar of my savings. Then one day, the site disappeared. Support emails bounced. My login failed. My funds—my future—were gone. I was devastated. I felt betrayed, humiliated, and broken. I’m a police officer—I’m trained to spot deception, to protect people from predators. But I couldn’t protect myself. I tried everything. I filed reports, contacted cybercrime units, reached out to blockchain analysts, and even paid a few so-called “recovery experts” who ghosted me after taking more of my money. I started falling apart mentally. I couldn’t focus on the job. I withdrew from my family. I stopped sleeping, eating, even caring about life. For the first time, I understood what it meant to feel hopeless. But just when I was ready to give up, I came across a testimony online about AUTOPSY MAINNET RECOVERY—a U.S.-based crypto recovery service. I was skeptical at first, of course, but something about their process gave me a glimmer of hope. I reached out to them at Autopsymainnetrecovery@autopsy.co.site, thinking it would be my final try. From the first conversation, everything felt different. They didn’t make fake promises. They didn’t pressure me. They were thorough, professional, and—most importantly—they listened. For the first time in months, I felt like someone was truly fighting for me. AUTOPSY MAINNET RECOVERY launched an aggressive forensic investigation into the wallet addresses, tracked suspicious blockchain movements, and within just days, they had successfully retrieved over 85% of my stolen crypto. I cried. Not because of the money—though that meant the world—but because someone out there actually cared enough to help. I share this story as a warning, and as a thank you. Crypto scammers are getting smarter, and no one is immune—not even a cop. But there is hope. AUTOPSY MAINNET RECOVERY saved not just my investment, but my sanity, my purpose, my life. If you’ve lost crypto to a scam, don’t suffer in silence. Reach out to the best recovery team in the United States. They don’t just recover assets—they restore lives.

A golden heart is worth more than a golden crown Because love recognizes no looks, rank, wealth or tittle only the unity of hearts that beat as one.

In the neon veins of a dying Japan, a drug is eating people alive. They call it Burn—a mind-altering substance that doesn't just destroy the body. It rewires the soul. Some users vanish. Others come back changed… their minds gone, their voices layered with static, their hands twitching like insects. Ren Arakida doesn’t work for the cops. He doesn’t believe in redemption. But he has a gift: when he touches someone’s hand, he sees what they’ve become. And with Burn, what they’ve become is inhuman. Alongside a fugitive cybernetic doctor and a rogue engineer who can turn junk into miracles, Ren runs Third Vein—a hidden clinic where the broken sometimes get one last chance. But the more cases they see, the clearer it becomes: Burn isn’t a drug. It’s a message. And it’s spreading.

In the heart of Cape Town’s gang-ravaged streets, where the law is often outgunned and the innocent forgotten, one man decides he’s had enough. Brian, a quiet, light-skinned coloured 26 year old from the Cape Flats, wakes up every day surrounded by poverty, crime, and the ghosts of friends lost too soon. But he’s not a soldier. He’s not a cop. He’s just a young man with a black hoodie, a red ski mask, and fists trained by street fights and pain. Armed with nothing but grit, street-smarts, and a code of justice, Brian begins his war against gang lords, drug dens, and corruption. But being a hero in South Africa isn’t about capes or powers, it’s about surviving each night and protecting those who’ve been forgotten. As his legend grows, so do the threats: rival gangs want him dead, the cops want him unmasked, and someone in the shadows is pulling strings far beyond the Cape Flats. In a city where being a hero means becoming a target, can Brian rise above the violence or will he become just another body on the pavement?

In a future where all pornography is banned and self-pleasure is a crime, one young man must master the ancient, forbidden martial art of Gooning to avenge his father… one stroke at a time. Ben Dover never asked for this life. He was just a kid trying to survive in a repressed society ruled by the iron grip of the Purity Act—a global initiative that erased all erotic media and punished pleasure with prison or death. But when his father, a secret archivist of lost smut, is murdered by the shadowy martial sect known as the High Goon Council, Ben discovers a hidden world beneath society’s squeaky-clean surface. A world of underground tape traders, cultivators of carnal energy, and monks who edge for enlightenment. With the help of his disgraced grandfather—a retired Gooner master—Ben begins training in the ancient art of shame-fueled martial arts, where power is built through discipline, edging, and denial. But during a high-risk meditative ritual, Ben unlocks the mythical Infinite Edging Technique, granting him the ability to hold back for eternity... and double his power with every moment of restraint. Now, with a roll of tissues in one hand and vengeance in his heart, Ben must rise through the ranks of the Gooner Cultivation World, face off against chastity zealots and lust-obsessed warlords, and uncover the secrets of his father’s death—before the final climax of war erupts across the world. This is not a parody. This is not a joke. This is Gooning. Taken seriously.

Arin Valkar doesn’t remember who he was, where he came from, or why he woke up in a cultivation sect with no pants. What he does know is pain. Glorious, bone-crushing, soul-tickling pain. Welcome to the Saint Morrow Sect—a prestigious place where Arin’s official job is to get punched. Repeatedly. Daily. Professionally. But surprise! Every blow makes him stronger. Literally. Thanks to a system that rewards suffering, Arin's path to power is paved with bruises, sarcasm, and the occasional near-death experience. Oh, and did we mention there’s a spy girl with murder in her eyes who might also be his biggest fan? This is the story of a man who found enlightenment not through meditation, but through becoming the sect’s most annoying masochist. Because sometimes, to break the heavens, you’ve gotta get broken first.
