Years after Earth's desolation, humanity finds itself on Acrora -- a planet that might just be their new home. The Terraformation is well underway, and in five years, they will be able to start living above the ground again. Enter Rory, an assistant to the mind who brought their race to Acrora -- Doctor Arion Ross. After spending most of his existence living and working with the doctor, he's ready to have just a bit of fun on his own. That is until his games lead to the discovery of a series of deaths happening around the new human colony. His new mission: help Doctor Ross bring everyone out of their bunker and to a more sustainable environment. The problem: he doesn't believe in his new mission. The bigger problem: his friends are slowly learning about his job, and they can't help but get involved. It wouldn't be such a big deal if thousands of lives weren't at stake, but Rory finds himself ready to sacrifice them all to save just one. --------- Best ranking: #136 in sci-fi! Thank you so much :D I update every Friday and Tuesday (maybe Sundays too). Feel free to leave any feedback or criticisms on my story :)

The sky is black and grim. Blood is smeared all over the streets like graffiti. There - a demon's shadow. It hollers as it snaps a peasant's body into two. But nineteen-year-old Kahri Sahar was dealt with the worst cards; the demons have cursed beloved brother into nothing more than a decaying ragdoll. Now, equipped with nothing but a bloody butcher knife, Kahri must face those demons to find the legendary fruit that may save her brother's life. While the desert town Kahri lives in is menacing enough, the unknown world she must traverse is perilous. With bloodthirsty demons at her heels, Kahri must learn to trust the Demon Lord's right hand, Micah von Schwarzergeist, to even have a sliver of a fighting chance. Whether or not Micah's intentions are pure, Kahri is left with no choice but to enter a cold, bloody battle of morals, betrayal, and magic - just to see her brother smile again.

In the year XXXX, the Earth was born anew. The ethereal being, Gaia, descended upon the planet, and gave mankind a gift- a gift of unimaginable power. Thus, the Adepts were born- individuals who held mysterious and unique abilities, called Curios. These powers threw the Earth into chaos, with many unable to control their newfound abilities. From this darkness rose a group of skilled Adepts who used their Curios for good, and brought peace across the land, establishing order and rule to the broken planet. The Earth still needs heroes like these. The Earth needs Aces, who can protect the world from those who abuse their powers. April knows this. But she's a Null. She has no Curio. She's useless. But when the Adepts around her fail, what is she willing to do to protect the ones she loves?
