Emerstones is ruled by a tyrant - a tyrant without mercy, love, or kindness - a tyrant that punishes even the faintest trace of dissent and the faintest hint of incompetence. There is nothing that he does not control, for his injustice is absolute. The people of Emerstones know only his iron fist and the darkness of his dungeons; they receive no share of their princedom's wealth and power.
But this is true only on the surface, for there is more to Emerstones than meets the eye... and more to the tyrant than his people see. And what remains hidden could become their hope... or their doom.
Is cruelty more powerful than kindness? Is it truly better to be feared than loved?

BREAKPOINT
They locked him away for a crime he didn't commit. Now he's about to shatter the system that betrayed him. Mason Reed was the best at what he did - until a bullet meant for someone else destroyed his life. Framed. Convicted. Sentenced to rot in Blackstone Penitentiary, where concrete walls and steel bars are the least of his concerns. Behind the prison's imposing facade lurks something far deadlier than the violent inmates who stalk its corridors. A shadow organization pulling strings. A warden with secrets worth killing for. And a conspiracy so vast it could trigger global chaos with a single command. Mason's only allies? A brilliant hacker with hidden motives. A charming thief with nothing to lose. A disgraced doctor searching for redemption. A former guard who knows too much. Each harboring their own dangerous secrets - each a potential betrayal waiting to happen. What begins as a desperate bid for freedom evolves into something far more terrifying. Because some truths are better left buried, and some enemies never meant to be made. In a game where every move is monitored and trust is a deadly currency, Mason must answer the ultimate question: How far would you go to reclaim your freedom when the price might be your soul? BREAKPOINT - where escape is just the beginning. Justice can't hide forever.Kumpleto
Bed of Lies
They broke her trust. They broke his mind. Now the past is back-and this time, it wants blood. Victoria learned early how to survive in silence. Grief became her shadow. Guilt, her constant companion. Because if she had died that night instead of her mother... maybe everything would have been different. But the past doesn't stay buried, and when it drags her back into a world she barely escaped, silence won't save her anymore. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, rage, and the monster his past made him. A man shaped by violence, and driven by retribution. Victoria was everything he should avoid- soft yet unyielding, broken but still standing. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own. She saw too much, pushed too far and worst of all, she made him remember something he buried a long time ago. He hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. What exists between them isn't gentle. It isn't safe or healing. It destroys. And when the truth comes for them both, they'll have to decide: Run. Burn. Or destroy everything in their path.Kumpleto

QARANLIQ: WOMBS OF FIRE (18+)
(U N D E R E D I T) In Qaranliq, hope is dead. A Zoneplex ruled by Demons, Djinn, and the Red Stone: Ghazayam. A world where dragons and mages are nothing more than slaves. An empire that devours the weak. Here, women are not seen as people but as possessions, sexual trophies: claimed, traded, and discarded at the whims of monsters. Some are vessels for heirs, others playthings for cruel masters, and a rare few, like her, are something far worse: a prize worth starting a war over. A tyrant wants to defile her. A king wants to breed her. A mage wants to protect her. She was never meant to survive, but blood remembers what the mind forgets, and soon, they will all learn; a caged thing does not forget the taste of freedom. And when the chains break, the world will bleed.
Blood Roots - Bound to the Bayou
Three 16 year old's. One witch. Two Vampires. A murderous Sheriff. One small town hiding something far more dangerous than all of them. Welcome to Mound Bayou. ---------------------- Mound Bayou infamous Sheriff Grant wasn't too keen on asking three untrained supernatural 16-year-olds to help save their town. Despite their unique abilities, the young heroes didn't answer his request with a "Yes Sheriff, it's our duty!", like one would think. And how could they? The three were busy untangling the tight lipped secrets and lies they had been told all their lives; combined with the pressures of school, dating, friends and covert rivals, kept them pretty busy. Shouldn't the Sheriff's 20+ years of experience fighting supernatural beings make him more than qualified in keeping the town safe? Most would agree with that statement, but this new enemy was different. This new opponent wasn't just faster or stronger, Sheriff Grant has been tangling with the best of the best since he was a rookie on the police force. So, while our young heroes and the sheriff were busy battling it out with the Towns Torturer and his crew. Unbeknownst to them a new foe had been hiding in the shadows, studying the sheriff, the townsfolk, and any potential threats that could hinder a hostile takeover. Developing a meticulous and methodical plan to seize the town's best kept secret, The Bayou. "What if I don't want to be a hero, save your damn selves!" - Jachobrin What the Author hopes?

He barely believed in living. Most days were spent in silence - a numb, gray existence made of sleepless nights, empty mornings, and a constant ache he couldn't shake. People called him cold. Emotionless. Maybe they were right. Then he met Viara. She was a stranger at a convenience store on a rainy night - two dollars short and smiling like she had no reason to be. Ryan gave her the money. She gave him something far more dangerous: a reason to feel again. What started as curiosity became obsession. Every glance, every word, every secret he uncovered about her pulled him deeper. Soon, Ryan wasn't just watching from the shadows - he was protecting her, perfecting himself for her, and removing anyone who dared to get in the way. Love made him better. Love made him worse. Because when you put her before you, there's nothing you won't do. Even if it means blood on your hands. Even if she never asked for any of it. Chapters Will Be Added Overtime.
Every Day in May (grand prize winner) ✔
***WINNER of the "BREATHTAKING: A FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL WRITING COMPETITION!" "You are a secret kept from the world, but not from me." So begins the peculiar message found slipped under a bedroom door on the morning of May first. Theo is the heir to a powerful dictatorship. The number of people allowed to know he exists is few. He has spent his entire life walled up in the Tower, the looming stone monolith from which his father rules over the Land. Merryn is the daughter of political prisoners. She's known who Theo is longer than he would think possible, and she is taking a great risk contacting him via handwritten notes in order to convince him he deserves more than the fate his father has designed for him. She has one month to exchange daily messages with him, to answer his questions and open his eyes to the realities of a world he has never been allowed to see. A revolution is coming to the Land at the end of the month, and if Merryn's notes fail to get their point across, Theo may never live to see the sunrise on June first. A/N: The following letters were originally published each day from May 1st-31st, 2014. As you will see,Theo is allowed to write down a question for Merryn each evening, but you, the reader, won't see these within the body of the story. It may or may not be obvious from Merryn's response what Theo is asking. Part of the fun is guessing what his questions might be, but if you really want to know what they are, a list of those questions is at the end of the story. This story is a re-imagining of Rapunzel. Now, without further ado-I believe a young heir is about to unfold a slip of paper found on the tile floor near his door... Let's see what it says!Kumpleto
Ivory Lies and Obsidian Truth
In a city ruled by gods and gilded lies, obedience is sacred. The trials are cruel. The king is worse. And angels are not meant to question-they're meant to kneel. But she doesn't. When a spring-born initiate dares to defy the sanctity of silence, she catches the attention of the one being no angel should ever cross: the god of death himself. He should have punished her. Instead... he watched. He intervened. He let her live. And in doing so, he may have doomed them both. Because the Ivory City is rotting from within. And she-bright, reckless, and unafraid-was never meant to survive it. Betrayal was always inevitable. But he never expected to want her enough to let it happen. ~She was forbidden to speak his name. He couldn't stop thinking hers.~
