"I want you to do villain work." 
William Banks had no desire to use his powers. As a matter of fact, his dream was to find a job as far away as possible from the drama and danger surrounding hero work: an accountant. However, to do so he must past his Proper Occasions Where Emergency Response is Substantiated, or P.O.W.E.R.S., course. Finding himself opposed to the essential premise of the course, William ends up losing hope of ever passing and filling his simple dream. That is until his course instructor offers a strange form of extra credit: in order to pass a course centered on the proper use of super powers, William has to become a villain. 
Inspired by the following writing prompt by Swinsetindecember (found on Pinterest, not sure on the original source): 
Where a grad student becomes a super villain for extra credit since their doctoral committee is low-key three of the city's super villains. And they meet the hero who is cute and charming and idealistic, and damn, extra credit is so not worth this, but damn, grad school is expensive and the job market is competitive.

For over a hundred years, humanity has lived in fear of the monsters that roam the streets, lurking in the drains below. Women and their daughters hide, protected in their homes, while men take their sons through the world, teaching them the responsibilities of having a family to feed and dangers to avoid. No one leaves the home unless it's essential, and most of the world prefers it that way. Until one girl spends her days perched on her window seat, looking down at the world below and dreaming of a different life. Her eyes are always drawn to the dark, ominous drains in the street, the ones that often blink open to swallow and person whole. One day, that person is her little brother, snatched right in front of her from their arms of their father and gone forever. When a person is snatched, they never return, and life goes on without them. But she can't accept that. Breaking all the rules, all the things she's ever known, she braves the world outside her little townhouse and goes on a mission into the darkness to find her brother. Only, it's soon her that becomes the one lost to the drains. To survive she must rediscover her world, and in the process, rediscover herself. She will be reunited with old friends, gain new ones, find out deeper secrets about her past than she ever could have imagined, and learn that the world is even more corrupt than she always thought. *** This story contains sexist ideology, mention of cheating, some gruesome scenes, and a whole lot of monsters and darkness. It isn't overly mature... there isn't much explicit language or sexual scenes, but there is a bit of violence, so just keep that in mind... and despite all that negativity, ENJOY!

|BOOK 1 IN "WHAT A LOVELY SERIES"| Centuries into the future, earth's humans have changed. After a newly awakened dominant genome triggered the new arrival of superpowers, earth's inhabitants finally became super like their predecessors could have only dreamed of being. With now 50% of the population possessing some kind of power, the earth runs rampant with heroes and villains. And what better to train new aspiring heroes, than thriving hero schools. And better yet, the best one across the world, the Metropolis Hero Academy. Lilith Ito is a rather odd case. With a rather dark past that left Lilith both with no memory of the event and an unclassified type of Dissociative Identity Disorder, Lilith's home life had always been less than perfect. But as she began to acquire powers and a mentor with a similar ability, Lilith began to do something for herself, even without the intentions of a hero. But after her mentor was killed in action, Lilith finally takes one more selfish step and gets into M.H. Academy based on her dead mentor's recommendation letter. But keeping her past from her new classmates is hard. From new friends that Lilith doesn't want to scare away to a boy that somehow has captured her heart, Lilith has got her hands full. And as a hidden evil begins to arise from the shadows, Lilith will have to tackle her new life as a hero student with a clear conviction of whom she wants to be and what she'll sacrifice to get there. But dear reader, you must always remember: Evil still lurks around the corner. TO COMPLY WITH WATTPAD GUIDELINES, THE FOLLOWING BOOK HAS BEEN MARKED AS MATURE FOR ITS GRAPHIC VIOLENCE. READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

TommyInnit Indirectly Kills God, Once Again (TIKGOA) takes place in a 1970s-esc metropolis, named "New Bristol", inspired by the modern megacities of New York and Chicago. The plot primarily follows a sixteen-year-old Thomas Ianston, an immigrant from London seeking to meet his heroes and join them among the leagues of crime fighters that the city is famous for. Alas, Tommy himself does not have any superpowers that might warrant him a place among the city's greats. Tommy's hopes are almost up, until a single decision causes him to find himself under the wing of his idol, Dreamwisher, and an easy spot among the greatest team of protectors that the Earth has ever seen. But, Tommy's world is quickly twisted upside down. Deaths and betrayals cross paths with Tommy and Dreamwisher at every corner's turn. Will Tommy sacrifice all that he's ever known for his new found family and fame? Even he himself may never know. (TLDR: TommyInnit wants to be a superhero, but doesn't have any superpowers.)
