Seventeen-year-old Matthias has been deaf for his entire life. He's used to living in a hearing world. He's used to overwhelming pity, well-meaning but naive waitresses with Braille menus, and "deaf kids hearing for the first time" montage videos. But being used to something and liking it are two different things. And contrary to popular belief, he likes being deaf. Just not when his parents consider wrapping him in bubble wrap and putting bars on the windows whenever he mentions wanting to see the world on his own. Not really...but really.
Kale suffers from crippling anxiety. That's not a good thing. Not when you live two thousand years in the future where that kind of stuff is supposed to be preemptively snuffed out with a single procedure at birth. Not when you have powers that can destroy an entire ecosystem if you lose control. And especially not when you're trapped in the past with an overzealous deaf boy as your only ally. While being pursued by a bloodthirsty organization looking for a key to the future. Yeah, definitely not a good thing.
Jade made a mistake. He was at the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong person. The wrong person just so happened to be from the future, he just so happened to fall in love, and then everything went suddenly, horribly wrong. Now, locked away with a ragtag group of people who possess freakish abilities, his only chance at going home is to prove what everyone thinks he isn't: normal. And with a library of secrets inside his head and a heart twisted by bitterness and regret, he can't afford to make any more mistakes.
Can three outcasts overcome their struggles and fight for who they are? Or will their differences be their downfall? In a world where everyone wants to be perfect, sometimes acceptance matters more.

THE FATE OF WAR: EMERGENCE
The world does not want a savior; it wants a weapon it can control. When the light of his world was extinguished by a Seele, a young boy's grief gave birth to a terrifying resolve. Paralyzed no longer, he claimed the burden of the "Scarecrow"-a protector destined to stand in the center of the carnage, wielding a fierce, blue-tinted flame that burns with a heat the world has grown to loathe. In this era, such a Gift is no beacon of hope; it is a cursed anomaly, marking him as a pariah even as he serves as humanity's shield. His mission is fueled by a selfish vow: he has seen the worst this world has to offer, and he will slaughter every Seele in existence to ensure no one else has to witness that horror. But the Scarecrow does not burn for himself. Every searing blast of blue fire is for the one soul he refused to lose-the girl who remains his only home in a world of wreckage. She is his final tether to reality, the reason behind his crusade, and the only anchor keeping his humanity from being consumed by his own Blue Rage. Together with Squad Segment 663, he is deployed under the cold, calculating gaze of The Skulls-architects of a system where lives are merely data points on a probability monitor. From forgotten borders to decaying strongholds, they are the U.W.D.S.'s most efficient tools of "purification." Yet, in the silence between battles, a mysterious figure lingers. An unnamed guide who speaks in echoes, she is a weeping contradiction who offers a haunting comfort that feels ancient and dangerously familiar. As the squad faces the encroaching darkness of the Seele and the rising threat of a rival power, the "Scarecrow" must decide: is he truly a hero, or just a broken child enforcing his trauma on a world that already hates him? In a war where trust is a liability, the people he protects may be the first to call him a traitor.

"Mine." His low growl of possession took my heart and the fate of my panties. They were soaked through with arousal. Damn it. I stroked his face as he sniffed the air. I prayed he couldn't smell my body's reaction to his. His hand slipped from my waist and traveled to the rip in my dress. "I can smell how much your body craves mine." My breath catches as his hand finds it home at the front of my panties. "Why don't you just submit yourself to me? Accept that you are mine and mine alone?" His hand was traveling lower, and he found my clit rubbing it through my underwear. I couldn't help but lean my head back and moan out at his skillful administration on my pussy."Moan, my name, my innocent mate. Tell everyone who is making you feel this pleasure."He had ripped my underwear off me and threw them across to hit another tree. He propped me up against the tree, causing me to hold onto his shoulders for support as his fingers took advantage of my spread legs, my dress completely exposing my pussy to him."Absolutely Ravishing." One of his thick fingers pumped its way into my hole, causing me to moan loudly into his ear. "Seth." ********* Seth Knight was not one for romance; everyone at Quillwood High School knew that.

Loading Game... Building Sceneries... Creating- romance? Parallel. It's a common word. You can probably hear your math teacher screaming that word in a kid's face, can't you? However, that won't be the case here. This is about parallel worlds. For Meredith and Lukas, they didn't find that out so quickly. Bullied and shunned for being the daughter of two famous and quite elite people, the students in Meredith Tanner's high school drove her off the cliff, resulting in therapy sessions once a week. Lukas James was in a different situation. He dropped out of high school (which disappointed his parents) and became a YouTuber, live-streaming games of generation A to Z. The two depressive teenagers didn't expect anything to change. She would continue therapy and never recover from the bullying and screeching suicidal thoughts, remaining as her high school's social outcast. He would continue to disappoint his parents by streaming on YouTube for attention instead of getting an education like his sisters. That's until a game changed their lives. "Parallel". The game was released, becoming #1 on the top gaming charts, which fancied both the teens' interests. Lukas was requested to play this game upon his subscribers. Meredith was requested to play this game in hopes of raising her socialization. However, something behind the game was unlike any level to pass- something dangerous. One game. That's what destiny was betting on. Two individuals. That's what destiny pitched in on. One unfortunate love story. That's what destiny never calculated. ~~~ "Love is a game, Lukas. You're barely making it past Level One! This isn't a labyrinth, stupid. It's a straight hall with different doors, and you keep opening those doors and refuse to walk forward." "I refuse to walk forward..." I repeated in a murmur, hanging my head low. She's right. I keep telling myself I can't go there; it's off limits. But I can see the end of the hall.Complete
