Everyone always says I act too much like a protagonist. Well considering that I just moved nine thousand miles across the sea, began a girl's singing cult, became instantly famous, changed my name (not legally, but blackmailing the media seemed to do the trick), and won five hundred thousand dollars I think it's fair to say I'm definitely not a side character. Oh yeah, and there's the job interview I had, the bureau I joined, the cover I created, the spy I became, and the man who's life I saved. I mean, I'm not trying to brag but, call me the mentor and we might have some serious problems. But if I was the mentor, I'd remind you all that nothing is as it seems. And live is too short not to eat cake.

[FIRST DRAFT] A sinister death of a young girl and a long-lost ship resurfacing from the deepest ocean without any soul inside and its captain laying dead in his cabin led Jericho Chase not only to uncover his long, forgotten mistake but also to unveil the dark secret of the place they are all lived in. *** Jericho Chase is just an investigator working in the police department in Seals and living a day-to-day life until the eerie death of Olivia Conover jeopardizes the illusion. A couple of days after her death, a long-lost ship reappears from the sea with not a single crew except the captain; presumably has been dead for days. Seeing a red line between both cases, Jericho decides to pursue the case with the help of Olivia's sister, Kenan Conover. But the more he gets into the rabbit hole, the more memories of the past overflow. He begins to remember that he, too, has murdered someone. And more than that, they also discover a terrifying truth about the place they live in; why every single one of them will never get out and why everyone who tries ends up coming back, dead.

Stars rain from the sky. They shatter the earth, and their ichor fills her wounds. Mire. The sacred substance which either kills or transforms any living thing it touches. That which remakes the world. All eighteen-year-old Nikessa's ever wanted was to be a chryshunter--one of those whose work it is to seek out and dig up the magical fossilized remains of ancient mirefallen beasts. But when she's made an heir after the death of her cousin, she's forced to give up her dreams and travel to her birthplace--even as stars fall, new and horrible beasts roam the land, and tensions mount between nations. There she's to learn which seat of power will be hers--and to which five of the Mirelands' other heirs she'll be betrothed. But things at the capitol are not well, and some of those whom she once trusted prove traitorous. In the midst of a violent coup, Nik finds herself relying on powers she can barely fathom to fight an enemy she never imagined...all for a throne she doesn't even want. But if it means saving the lands and people she loves, she's more than ready to wear the crown. (I will be making major edits to every chapter of this story in the near future. This will involve totally replacing the content of all existing chapters here as well as resubmitting the stories entirely to Scribblehub and RoyalRoad. If you're reading this story anywhere other than Wattpad, Scribblehub or Royal Road, you're reading a pirated version.) CW: story contains strong language, violence and some elements of body horror
