It's one thing to be a part-time vigilante whose deeds are so secret that even you can't remember them. I could deal with that. It's a completely different thing to be settled into a perfectly normal life only to have the past literally hold a gun to your head. That's a little harder to cope with. Juliet, Rory, Harper, Kennedy, and Grace. They have never been ordinary. That's what they discovered during their freshman year of high school when the blackouts started. Anytime two of them saw each other they'd all wake up hours--sometimes days--later with no memory of what just happened. Fast forward six years and they're in college without the fear of blacking out looming over them. It's a perfectly normal, college life. That is until Juliet took a trip to the bank. Join the dysfunctional group of retired vigilantes as they travel back to where it all started to save one of their own. [Wattpad Picks Up and Coming 6.7.18] [#15 in Action]

I believe my name was Iriko. I was twenty years old. My life used to be normal, getting teased by my sisters, becoming their work-slave, that type of thing. But while I was acting as an errand boy, I ended up dying... or that's what I thought. The next thing I knew, I was in a forest, somehow alive. Now there was a problem. I've become a baby dragon, and I have no idea of who I once was. ------------------------- Alright, so bear with me. This is my first attempt at writing a story. I was inspired by a certain other Japanese light novel, so you may notice some similarities (Or maybe not). Any forms of criticism are welcome. Drop a comment if anything seems like shit. No really, call it a complete waste of human intellect undeserving to be read even by the most pitiful of worms if that's how you feel.

Based on the title of this story, you probably assumed that this was going to be something about knights and dragons and all of that stuff. Good guess, but no. This is the story of a boy who wakes up to find himself in a prison cell, with no idea who he is, where he is, and what he even did to land up in jail or anything that happened to him beforehand. That is until a woman who works for the prison walks up to his cell, giving him two options. Stay and rot in prison. Or, help her complete these so called "trials" by unlocking them and in return her breaking him out, allowing him to regain his freedom. And so of course he chose to go with her, but to his surprise the girl who broke him out and many others have supernatural powers called Blessings that allow them to do- well, supernatural things. They then embark on their journey, with many fights and adventures ahead of them in a highly advanced territory called "Hopian".

"This book speaks to anyone with a neurodivergent brain, that may feel like an alien here on earth. I swear Browning made me laugh and cry and question reality...sometimes all in the same sentence." -JD Todd, author The universe is a very strange place. It will take even stranger heroes to save it. Potto is dim-witted, extremely forgetful and incredibly naïve. He wasn't always this way. Aye-Aye is devilishly shrewd and has boozed his way into a comfortable existence of incompetence and sleaze. How they ended up being two of the most wanted aliens in the galaxy is anyone's guess. Chased down by every oddball bounty hunter in the known universe, and befriended by a libidinous assassin, a fire-breathing reptilian, and a telepathic tree, their misadventures take them past Earth (the mall planet), to a floating sex circus, a planet of killer stuffed animals, an underground spaceship impound lot, and to a planet of reasonably priced bungalows. All while flying around in a ship powered by the brain waves of a psycho killer. A great prophecy proclaims that only "one of light, and one of dark" can save the universe from the dictatorship of The Node. That can't be Potto and Aye...Potto doesn't know what the word prophecy means, and neither know how to spell it. Part sci-fi epic, part absurd dark comedy, I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room is a comment on human behavior, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. But way more fun than that sounds. So, do up your space seatbelts...it's going to be a bumpy ride. Despite the lack of potholes in space. (Sci-fi /Dark Humour/Absurd) *Completed! Enjoy!

"Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" "We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die." "Ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." •• Eve was the first, there was second, and lastly, Evada Genesis. She lives a life of an ordinary girl in a humble city with an inherited condition in tow. Her mother died of the same condition and now all she have are his father and her childhood bestfriend, Adamson Grand. However, her condition started to intervene her life, and she lives through agony as she's nearing the verge of death. Not wanting to wait for her death, her life took a turn as she drove through the dark streets of their town only to get crashed toward a tree as she swerved her car to avoid hitting the man standing under the rain on the broad road. A man who blocked her path, and might be, a man who can block her miserable fortune. Raven Daemon, a demidemon, and also a reaper, should have ended Evada's fate by that night, but one big thing had stopped him from doing so, or more than one thing, as he realized as he looked into her eyes, that she's the one he'd been waiting for so long, the one he needs to bring back what has gone from him. He need the "Third Genesis".
