➤ 𝐍𝐄𝐎𝐍 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 ⛓️ VegasPete by CHOFFIELESOULVES

In a city where the sky is permanently choked by neon and smog, survival isn't a right-it's a privilege bought with blood. Vegas Theerapanyakul runs the underworld's most feared black-market syndicate, dealing in illegal cybernetics, underground assassinations, and data theft. A ghost in the system, untouchable. Until Pete Saengtham, a rogue enforcer with nothing to lose, rips his way through the underworld in pursuit of a bounty that leads straight to Vegas's doorstep. But this is not a world where justice prevails. It's a game of control, power, and who holds the deadliest secrets. Pete is no hero, and Vegas is no villain-they are both hunting each other, clawing for dominance in a city that eats the weak alive. And in this war of survival, the line between predator and prey is written in neon and blood.

𝐕𝐨𝐢𝐝 (𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐱𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫) 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞. by AaliyahAckerman

"𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝗼 𝐚𝗺 𝐈? 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡𝗼𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝗺?" In the depths of the underground was a girl. She was a experiment gone wrong some would say. She was once known as just a number. Another one of their experiments but the only thing different about her was she was the success. She had been turned into a 'weapon of battle'. Though no one knew her potential..... Yet. She was abandoned after the MP's caught her captors. She could barely talk, she couldn't read or write. Hell, she could barely understand what other people were saying to her. Levi and Farlan found her walking down the street one day. She was dirty, her hair was matted with blood and dirt. Two teenage boys were kicking her around like a doll. She didn't move or fight back she just sat there, numb to the pain. Levi took her in and taught her many things. One being love. Voilet evergarden inspired. Complete and rewritten as of 2023. Originally published as "Show Me How" and previously changed to "I Love You". This book has been edited but not significantly altered. I apologize if my grammar is not spot on, I wrote this in 2021 and pretty much just focused on formatting and editing spelling errors. #2 in Isabelmagnolia ~ 1/26/21 #1 in Isabelmagnolia ~ 2/4/21 #3 in Underground - 2/12/21 #2 in AOT - 4/14/21 #1 in Underground - 11/13/21

A Darker Plan by The2ndMoon

(A 1 hour read - short story - completed) Young chemist Sinclair, works deep inside the human extermination complex of the State government A government that was always fighting in a world war. The planet was radiating, and getting unbearable. The pollution, fueled by the occasional use of mile wide micro-atomic nuclear strikes, gave urgency of your own coming death, so much so, it drove many quite batty. For relief, Sinclair took all the free government medications, keeping himself high but responsible at his government chemistry work. En-route now to Lightlake air base. He intended to derail his life once and for all. But first he'd do his part, he would render the master chemtrail formula into a harmless state. That should last at least a year, if not longer, if it went undetected. It was the noble thing to do he thought, considering the enormous ever-growing state body count. We join Sinclair now on the military passenger jet as he finds himself once again witnessing a murder. His closest colleague's murder. But for Sinclair... there would be a more intimate end-of-life experience.

Now it was his turn to be there's.

Static by hattielynn

{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16

Post Plague Kidnapping - Published! by vblawnola

He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in.

BLOOD AND ASHES by aestjesis

The sky hangs heavy, thick with the promise of rain. A storm brews-not just in the heavens, but in the veins of Southeast Asia itself. Vince was never meant for this. Not the silk ties. Not the whispered deals over hundred-year-old whiskey. Not the polished smiles of men who once paid to see him bleed. He was a fighter, a rogue carving his name into the bones of the streets, but now-now he's trapped. The suit fits like a noose, the power a loaded gun pressed against his own temple. Play along, stay alive. That was the deal. But in the shadows of the Southeast Asian Summit, deals are meant to be broken. The air crackles with the tension of something about to snap. Old ghosts slip through the cracks, alliances shift like sand beneath his feet, and somewhere out there-watching, waiting-is Reika. His fire. His fury. His anchor in the storm. And when she finds out what they've done to him, what he's become, hell itself won't hold her back. The battlefield has changed. It's no longer fists against flesh, bones against concrete. It's a war of deception, fought in whispers, signed in blood behind closed doors. Vince has one shot to break free before the machine swallows him whole. But can you fight when the enemy has already crawled inside your head? And worse-what if this time, the storm takes him under for good?
