Death Bound: Life Support Edition
Life is full of ups and downs, there's no question about it. We're tossed through the ringer daily, constantly faced with challenges and left wondering how we'll deal with them. Will we give up, or will we try? Will we cave, or will we push through until we succeed? Will we whine and moan about our misfortunes as we dwell on them for years, or will we learn from them, shrug them off, and heal ourselves with laughter? I choose the latter, which is why I've collected these darkly, comedic short stories into this collection for your amusement. The world's a bit tense, so unwind and relax. I'll take it from here.

He happens to stumble across a strange old man on his way home who is setting out on a path to free humanity from the Assistants.

Cosmo Nyx comes back to life with no memory of who killed him, but that shouldn't matter considering he's about to fight to the death in a game that he suspects has long since been rigged. Can he trust his fellow contestants long enough to get out alive? And will his own dark past somehow interfere with his chaotic present? Trigger/Content warning: some upsetting sequences including peril. Some strong language. Some adult themes. Mention of sexual relationships. Somewhat gory blood violence. Mild crude humor.Complete

Stray Humans
It's been almost a hundred years since Earth's civilizations fell, leaving only ruins and memories. Long before the collapse, they began taking humans, but now, everyone knows who they are and they fear them. The few who manage to return from their captivity tell stories of how these creatures treat humans like animals or children, tending to them like pets or slaves. Most survivors live in hidden cities, avoiding the ancient ruined cities at all costs. But not Jace and his crew. As a group of Stray Humans, they've made the decaying cities their home, roaming the forgotten streets, never staying in one place for long, and bringing all their skills to the table. They are a family, working together to make sure those things, Aliens, never take another human as long as they are near. When the aliens of A.C.R. (Animal Care and Rescue) find a new group of humans wandering the ruins of a large city, they think it will be an easy capture. But they soon learn that these particular humans have more willpower than most. They dodge every trap, disappear around every bend, and even manage to take some of the already captured humans with them. The aliens pity these "little creatures"-they just don't want to leave their home, but Earth is falling apart at the seams, and they are determined to take the stubborn little humans to the safety of one of the mother planets. No matter the cost. Warning - This story may have -Self harm -Rape -Abuse -Suicidal thoughts and actions -Violence and gore -Uncomfortable scenes (If this isn't your first alien pet book, you know what I'm talking about)
The Superior Rebirth: A Hero's Awakening
In an industrial-era world where fate is merciless and heroes are manufactured, Xavier Ivanovich is a boy who was never meant to live. Once a subject of an inhuman experiment, he is saved only by the kindness of a scientist whose compassion is repaid with death. Left behind, Xavier grows up chasing an ideal of heroism he does not yet understand. The Superior Rebirth is a slow-burn epic fantasy that explores sacrifice, identity, and the cost of choosing others over oneself - in a world where even good intentions can lead to ruin. This is not a story about becoming powerful. It is a story about becoming human.![BURN [Marvel Cinematic Universe]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/159931525-256-k6416.jpg)
BURN [Marvel Cinematic Universe]
{COMPLETE}✓ "Let's do a head count here: your brother the god; a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; a man with breath-taking anger management issues; a couple of master assassins; let's not forget the man that can and WILL stab you... and YOU, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them." Cain swore off making the same mistake of getting close to humans eons ago. But when a melodramatic god threatens Earth, he's called upon by a sassy pirate man to join some kind of superhero boy band. And they're annoying enough to pester their way into his undead heart.Complete
