Even immortals have their scars... Jaye is one such immortal. Unlike other demons, any of his physical wounds instantly heal on their own. This is a major source of his power, but not all of it. Despite his small stature, Jaye leads an entire army of central demons. He planned for months with his second in command to ensure they could take over the Western Kingdom. Once he could claim that throne as his own, Jaye would have enough power to repair the Central Kingdom. Living there has never been easy, so fixing it could save the lives of thousands of innocent demons. The plan seems perfect, Jaye made sure of it, but there is one thing he didn't consider-that the western king could have a trick up his sleeve. Jaye gets cast into the Living Realm, stuck in an unfamiliar human body and forced to rely on the help of unlikely allies. Will he ever make it back? What other challenges would he face back home even if he could? Find out more as this story updates every Tuesday!

One sacrifices their dream. One has a misguided dream. One believes they will never achieve their dream. People didn't want him. Nonetheless, he persevered in pursuing his dream of becoming an astronaut. Vincent went to great lengths to achieve his dream, even sacrificing his identity in order to adopt another's, but gave everything up for the guy whose identity he had borrowed. However, was it worthwhile, and who was he now without his original identity? Will Vincent uncover his true self or sacrifice everything for others? The "accident" claimed more than just his legs; it took away his life. Struggling to survive, Eugene yearns to try another attempt-this time succeeding at death. Yet, the unsuspected presence of his borrowed-ladder is enough to refrain from trying anything under his watchful gaze. Will Eugene succeed at his misguided dream, or will he discover a new sense of life within his existence? They always miscalculated her. It was her unfortunate genetics. Was it not? With the dream of going into space like the rest of her co-workers, Irene gazed at the rocket launches with starry eyes as well. However, inside her faulty heart, she knew she would never be able to achieve this dream because of the organ. Will Irene run to her dream rocket launch, or will she be left behind in its dust cloud? "There is no gene for fate." - Gattaca

[𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘴: 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬] Briel knew she was different since the moment she could talk to the Boogey Man behind her closet when she was five. No one could quite explain her condition and she learned to come to terms with her "strange quirks". When a party that went terribly wrong ruined her quiet life, Briel was forced to move along with Rebecca, a well-known artist, into Soren's City. For a girl who held deadly secrets, the University of Soren was a chance to start over, after all she swore to stay out of trouble. But Fate has other plans and Briel can't hide forever. Damien is the leader of an elite squad called S.P.A.D., and he also harbors a second identity that only a few know. Grappling with his responsibilities and his secret illegal feelings for a demi-fae, he yearns to be free from the expectations set by his father. Especially so, when he is the next-in-line of one of the world's greatest political seats. With the fae being a taboo in the Human World and magic is frowned upon, Briel and Damien need to make peace with their inner demons fast, or risk plunging the Human World into chaos. Because the veil between the worlds seems to be turning thin and monsters begin to run rampant in Soren's streets. (Currently, has major edits ongoing.

[ONC2024] Everyone can read minds except for Ethan Langdon. And Ethan Langdon has the dumbest (and cutest!) thoughts Lukas Hoffmann has ever heard. ____ Part one complete. Part two updating every Friday until completion (but already fully complete on my Kofi!) ____ Lukas Hoffman's life in Brambleburg is about as boring as you'd expect for a town where everyone can read minds. He's used to his routine of dusting the LPs at the record store where he works and helping out his grandma around the house. Nothing in Brambleburg changes. No one in Brambleburg changes. Until Ethan Langdon stumbles in with the soggy remnants of a paper map, asking for the quickest route to Berlin. Ethan, it turns out, doesn't have telepathy, and as aggravatingly inane as his thoughts are, Lukas hasn't felt the excitement of meeting a stranger since.... well, ever. And the more Lukas listens, the more he starts enjoying Ethan's cute thoughts about life, the universe, and Lukas's dimples. ____ Might bring to mind: "Cherry Magic" but set in a fictive European town where everyone except the love interest can read minds. ____ Written for the Open Novella Contest 2024 using prompts 8, 75, 82, and 85. 8. You start singing along to a movie soundtrack late at night forgetting that your window is open. Someone from the outside starts singing with you. 75. You awake in the middle of the night to a voice saying loudly "May the force be with you..." 82. You wake up on a seemingly ordinary day to discover that your thoughts are not private. There is someone else in your head with you. 85. "If you do that again, I'll throw you out that freaking window. What are you doing?" "Checking how high the drop is to see if it's worth it."
