Beyond the smouldering husk of a burned out city lies salvation, yet no one ever ventures that far. The locals know that something lurks in the darkness beyond the crumbling city walls, stalking the last pathetic dregs of humanity. Travelers and others who pass by are never seen again, though their screams are heard echoing throughout the shadowy night.
You dream of the outside world, yet the thought of leaving terrifies you. You've seen what calls the darkness its home... and it's seen you.

A Personal Hell for A Winged Killer
Metam, a super-continent which is divided into 5 different districts, is home to a world of superpowers. The last known survivor of the sleep clan, Miya, lives in the Capital City of the Eastern District, Hinansho City, or the City of Refuge, and although she has lived for 23 years, she only remembers her life from the moment she had her first day at Eastward Social Academy, a college of mercenaries that ranges across all three cities of the Eastern District. In school, she meets a group of the strongest students in Eastward who hold her in high regard, teaching her about the history of the world around her and training her in battle techniques so that she can go on missions with them to fight “the Hole.” Eight Generals lie beneath the Sultan of the Organization, Rigkt of the Curse, as they attempt to establish a new world order, dethroning the reigning Central District Government that controls most districts. To gather her memories, Miya sets out to gain the power to protect her friends so that she can one day take back her memories. ———————————————————————————An underlying evil lurks close to her, bearing wings of pure white and an immortal body. A dead man walking who killed the most powerful alliance in Metam’s history looms around her, grooming her to become powerful. Her “friends” know much more about her than she thinks; they are not who she thinks they are.

Murphy's Law
****Story has been dropped for being too dark**** "Anything that can go wrong, will." But what if you know what goes wrong in advance? On Earth, monsters come in human form. Some are ostracized or locked up, but others walk amongst us. They’re more common than one would think and they grow in number the higher in the hierarchy you go. With 1 in 100 people preying on the other 99, eventually, a world trying to summon a hero might end up with a monster that doesn't feel like playing along. _____________________________ The story is my take on some of my favorite genre's and tropes, some of which I have no I idea if they'll work well together. English is not my main language so if you notice any typos or grammar mistakes please tell me so I can correct them. Criticism and critique are more than welcome:) A chapter every Tuesday.*I do not own the cover image, it's taken from google.

Wait… Why is this a Skill? [Dropped]
Author's Note: Now, I just lost my motivation for writing this. Feel free to read until the last available chapter. I might come back to writing, but it will be another fiction. ========================= During school, Endou Kouta and the whole school were summoned to another world. With the cliché line, “Please save this world from the demon lord!” He and his classmates were given skills to strengthen themselves. However, Kouta, who was labeled “King of the School”, was given no skills. He was shunned by the royals but not by his classmates. His classmates then helped him train during their stay at the castle. During an expedition to subjugate a monster, Kouta was killed… not. Instead, he was given a skill he never thought he would have. This is the adventure of a closet online gamer in another world.

The One Moon
Moonhan is a regular 16 year old that has gone through a lot. One day, he takes a walk and witnesses 6 boys dancing and singing. Moonhan steps into the idol world after being scouted. However, Moonhan's life doesn't just revolve around being an idol. He goes through many different situations that helped him mature and working towards being an idol is just one of them. This is the story of Moonhan and his story to being a top idol. The story is inspired by the Kpop world and is totally fictional. There may be some song titles and group name's that are used by Kpop and are not made by me. For example, Icon's song "Why Why Why" is inspired by the Kpop group Ikon's song "Why Why Why" in my story. Other group names and song titles used in my story are all original. When not, I will mention in authors notes.
