♥ Astrid ♥ Gunshots. Karate moves. Flipping through languages so fast that my brain struggled to catch up. These had been as familiar to me in the six years I had been in training as a school bell or sound of a teacher's voice might be to anyone else. At sixteen, I had seen more death than I cared to talk about. But what could I say? That was what life as a teenage spy was. And as part of America's little-known espionage agency Delta, that was what I had become accustomed to. But I couldn't have known that things were about to change. A new assignment came up, and though I was with people I had known for years, this one would change things so that my life would never be the same. A drug dealer, working undercover in France. People from my past, popping up in the most unexpected places. And the boy with the blue eyes, who could be completely for me or utterly against me; often, I didn't know which. This was one assignment that would stay with me forever. But, of course, I didn't know that as I headed in...to pure Hell. Welcome to Delta. Now that you're here, good luck getting out.

There's more out there than you think. Ashley Cartwright works on a secluded island for her father as a secretary. The lab her father works at it planning on discovering something big, something Ashley doesn't find out about until it's too late. They aren't the only secluded island, and there is another species no one has ever known about until one of them is captured and brought in. Subject Zero.

"The Dungeon is dangerous. Ever since the Ravagers took over, there's no real shelter to hide from them. The best you can do is stay in the Keep, try and live out a normal life, and pray that they'll never find you. "But what if I told you there was a way to stop them?" - An AU where Decked Out is an actual universe and not a game, where people live in constant fear of the Ravagers that have taken over the once-familiar Dungeon that has changed drastically. - Hello, everyone! Before you start, there are a few things you need to know about this story: - This book will contain some cursing - All shippings here are kept platonic for the sake of respecting CC's boundaries - I couldn't focus on every Hermit for this AU; only 7 or 8 are featured - While this is a Decked Out AU, it focuses more on what the map offered than the actual events Etho encountered during his canon runs. You'll see a few references here and there, but for the most part, this is an original story taking place in the Decked Out-verse. DISCLAIMER: None of my content is meant to offend anyone! I write about the Hermits' Minecraft personas and not their IRL selves. If any of my writing makes the people I'm writing about uncomfy, I have no problem in taking it down. With all this said, enjoy the story!
