《Fratres Per Noctem》Prologue
Advertisement
A good criminal is a dead criminal; does this come in generalizations? Crime. A world that is despised by everyone in any aspect, but changes do come and affect it. Do the people still find it despicable?
Yes, of course. Does it come in all shapes and sizes, kinds, and sorts of ways? Everyone does agree with that. But what about the idea of romanticizing it? It does sound antagonizing, but that is what turns it into a laughing stock, a world that everyone doesn't take seriously.
People do bad things for money, yes. Some are inherited because of wealth, and some do create such a despicable act for a living. But what if this wasn't about the fame and fortune, or the power that drives them into a series of control freaks?
But rather, they commit these heinous and unforgivable actions for their satisfaction brought to their lack of needs for oneself or something that has driven them insane.
In many futile attempts of changing the world, why not own it instead? The world will be yours and yours only if you believe and trust your instincts, obey its honesty though it would bring one to immediate danger.
By all means of drawing blood that isn't yours, or turning your back to someone you have truly loved and cared about. This is not about them, it is about yours and how they would not hold you back from your deepest desires for success in which they wouldn't benefit at all. Not even a penny.
They say success is the best revenge, and some do live up with the quote. But it comes with consequences, consequences that would not give the best time of your life. That comes last, although it is still considered as one's priority and preeminence.
Like how would you cut the strongest onions of them all without tearing up? Not the greatest comparison out there, but the point is: Come out from the shithole you came from and use what you have learned against everyone who has wronged you in so many ways.

Slaughtering them, making their jaws drop, granting them an eternal sleep, it's up to you. But do keep this in mind, always wear a garment for your dirty hands. Take it off when a reminder is necessary and put it on when it is time to go back to action.
This world has never been the same after people remained in their comfort zones, thinking that they would live their life to the fullest without stepping out of it. No, it wouldn't happen, because they are usually the people that would tell you that you would not make it.
Why bother seeking for someone to change your ways if you're beyond salvation? Is it necessary? Is it a requirement? If you could just live up with it, resume the mess you made, because you would feel like they have suffered a horrible death.
Ah, no, this is not a promotion of any type of infractions you are about to witness. This is rather a depiction where all are just class acts, not role models. Do you find this applicable? I hope so because this is starting to become a motivational speech to murder the fuck out of someone with a pencil or a crowbar.
Enough for the conveyance of huge words, not-so huge ones, rather. Let us get to the bottom line of where this all began; a crew consists of a powerful and wealthy man, a psychopathic killer, and a hitman-for-hire staying under one roof. And what are they all about? They are just an alliance that should not be messed with.
"Are we rolling, my friend?" Said the rich man in front of the camera.
"I don't have a fucking clue what this is all about, just the two of you dragging me in as always." The hitman complained.

"Relax, okay? This wouldn't take a while. This is just like cooking, you know? Once the results are done, it's oh! So sweet." The psycho killer grinned, smiling in front of the camera bizarrely.
"Enough with that, let's get to it." Soon as the camera gets shaky, a severed body was seen.
"I think you must have killed him before the show has started." The hitman is starting to worry about the body tied up into a chair.
"We said it before, don't sweat it. I thought you always find yourself in an easy position to get used to this kind of work." The affluent man tells their hitman that he should calm down.
"Smile for the camera, boys." The psychopath had a huge grin on his face before a loud thud on the video was heard.
Yes, the three men harming what seems to be their hostage is a found footage, and the ones that are watching it? Themselves.
And thus, the night where the brothers have been reborn. Not as boys with good deeds done with their innocent hands, but as men with their hands bloodied from what they have just done.
Regrets? They don't consider it in their vocabulary. Dreadful? Certainly, for obvious reasons. Have they gone mad? Perhaps this is the beginning of the end, and they are just getting started.
To be continued...

Aethernea
[Best Fantasy Story Winner at Wattpad Fiction Awards 2016] ? Adventure ? Mystery ? Humor ? Romance ? Systematic, almost scientific Magic ? Strategy in Fights ? Character Development Gallery | Wikia | Official Site | Patreon | Facebook | Twitter ————————————————————————————————————- Summary ————————————————————————————————————- In a world where everyone can use magic, where treasure hunters, alchemists, and warlocks are common professions, and where mage duels are the most popular form of entertainment, Kiel is a "non-mage" - a person who doesn't have the aptitude to use magic on regular basis - until he meets Elaru - a spell breaker of mysterious origin, wielder of the fabled 'Aethernea of Sight' - eyes that can see magic, who claims she can give him the power to become the greatest mage world of Halnea has ever seen. Coerced into binding his soul to hers, Kiel finds himself pulled into a web of secrets, where one wrong step could end in his untimely demise. Who, or what is Elaru Wayvin really? What is her relation to the ruling 15 noble mage families? What is the source of The Ink - a mysterious plague spreading through the continent? What is the Aetherneal bond between them and what has it turned them into? What is the truth behind gods and divine magic? Why has the third race of Halnea - the Ascended, mysteriously disappeared, and what is the connection between the remaining two races? In the search for truth, Kiel and Elaru enroll at the most prestigious University of Magic. Yet, between awkward social events, falling in love, thrilling competitions, blood curling battles, irritating peers, and damnable love rivals, there is little time for studying. And as if avoiding sinister plots from all sides wasn't difficult enough, their new detestable mentor takes them on a voyage into the uncharted forbidden zone filled with unspeakable secrets, ancient riddles, man-eating monsters, and deadly traps. A quest that just might end up changing the fate of the entire world. ————————————————————————————————————- What do readers say about it? ————————————————————————————————————- "Aethernea is my absolute favorite read on wattpad, I love it as much as I love Harry Potter and The Mortal Instruments. You have such an amazing way to make the words flow and unbelievable descriptions. Unique characters and a great story line. All the small clues and mystery in the humor and fantasy just makes the book perfect in my opinion. I read all chapters in two days! Less than 48 hours even! I'm REALLY looking forward to the next update, the world of Aethernea is so deep and well thought out, it's beautiful and magical. God I can't believe how creative you are, so many small details with so many families and stories everywhere. Purely fantastical, I admire you." - astro-logical from Wattpad "I love love love Aethernea so much! It is amazing how you created this new world with different creatures, magics, looks, illnesses, and evil! I was blown away by your explanation of the Mana pools and how to weave magic! Simply stunning really! You are one of my favorite authors and Wattpad and I am so glad I stumbled upon Aethernea because it is worth all of my time reading!" - Adriana_V_Blade from Wattpad "I absolutely am loving Aethernea so far. I am certain you belong in the ranks among J.K. Rowling, Rick Riordan, Suzane Collinings, and many more great and wonderful authors. You opened up a whole new world for me, which only a few great authors have accomplished. While it's true I am pulled into each and every book, few are able to capture me to the point of inescapability. Though, somehow, you have managed this feat. I thank you for this and more! You are a wonderful author and can't wait for more to come!" - daughterofpercabeth7 from Wattpad "WOW! just caught Aethernea in gravity tales! Just when I was getting tired of most xianxia novels this appears and completely blows my mind! I really like the depth and the humorous touch you give the characters and it seems you have the storyline well thought out since you are always hinting about things in the past and the future. It has been such an enjoyable experience that I couldn't stop reading, finishing it in just one day and laughing my way through most of the episodes. But what keeps me so excited for what's coming is the magic system and the professions of the world you are creating.The magic mechanics have such a huge potential! They are simple but at the same time they open so many possibilities. Even though we still only understand the basics of transmutation and augmentation, I expect them to enable fights where there is need of quick thinking and skill, and not just brainless overpower of every opponent. In a way this makes me reminiscent about The Mistborn Series by Brandon Sanderson, which are one of my favorite series ever. The thing that sets Mistborn apart from any other series is that the mechanics are so well thought out that they could be used to create a super cool triple A video game and I cannot help but hope Aethernea reaches the same level or even surpass it. I really think it has that potential. Really hope this series gets the attention it deserves. As for me, Thursdays and Sundays just got a whole more exciting! =)" - AlexMLion "Your writing is fantastic and riveting, the chapters and character flow so smooth, and it captivates the reader with the many twist and turns that tricks one mind into thinking this is about to happen, when suddenly the exact opposite happens. You truly are in inspirational writer with a brilliant mind that can see and put words into chapters and into this one truly awesome book. Thank you!" - AshleyStaar from Wattpad "I loved this story, such detailed description and accurate words, both Kiel and Elaru completely caught my attention, your writing style is just beautiful and the plot is astounding and it's just the first episode! This kind of fantasy stories are my favourite, it has a lot of magic in it, rivalry and sense of humour." - BlackWhiteD from Wattpad

Sinner's Resolve: An Agent's Wish
A demon that had never batted an eye while mercilessly reaping the lives of many. A prodigy who accomplished the impossible. A hero that dutifully followed his orders. A messiah of the people. Many titles were given to him, whether it be in praise or in fear, but only one thing could be agreed upon by the people...All who he had ever crossed paths with had met an untimely death. He slowly rose to the top and earned himself the name of Black Death. A nameless person who was eventually awarded a cursed and bloodied name... Must this continue?...... He stared at his hands before turning his gaze towards his next three targets. Their photographs were neatly aligned along his makeshift table, accompanying him inside of a dimly lit room. Each one of them had earned their seat as the best special agents within their respective organizations. There must be a way...There has to be a way... Shaking away his thoughts, he quietly pocketed away the photos before exiting the room. A chance meeting that would forever change his cruel fate, and a wish that would transcend worlds. This is the story of a man who had nothing yet lost everything but a single wish, a silver lining that would completely change his life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's Notes - Hello everyone! This is my first work and I will hopefully stay around for a while. I will try to finish or at least expand on this piece of work for quite some time, expect a few hiatuses in between though, still have a bit of schooling to do. Expected release dates will probably be once a week(not sure yet) after I stabilized the novel a bit as I'm still debating on how I should handle this. I prefer fleshed-out works compared to quick releases, but it also depends on how I'm feeling. I don't have a lot of confidence in my writing skills and I believe that my writing style is a bit weird, but I do want to try my best to tell a story that's worth telling. I will gladly accept criticism but please try to pull the punches back a bit! I'm still only human after all. Very excited to work on this, please take good care of me as I proceed on this journey with all of you! P.S. If you're going into my series, expect to see cliches sprinkled here and there. I personally love cliches and a few tropes! But, that goes without saying, I want to put my own spin on them. Be ready to feel the edge!!! Heh.
