In the near future, New York, and the world, is quite different than what we know today.
Daniel is a quiet kid. A book lover, a momma's boy, and a loner. All he did was go to school and work, and he makes sure to always stay out of the way and stay out of trouble.
Addiran is a corporation that runs the world. They create all technology, medicines, and other essentials that are needed for everyday life. They don't just create good, they also create evil.
When monsters created by Addiran start running around New York, the company and the government do everything they can to hide it. So how does Daniel fit in this situation?

Wish's Desire
On Alcestis, everything has a price. Wish has spent years surviving inside Desire, a pleasure house where powerful people speak freely around those they have paid to ignore. Beautiful, observant, and dangerously good at pretending, he secretly sells their secrets in exchange for one promise: Freedom. Then a final assignment sends him into the home of one of the most dangerous men in Midas. He is supposed to enter, steal what he can, and leave unseen. Instead, Wish discovers something that should never have existed-and something inside it chooses him. Now he is being hunted, the man who promised to save him may have his own agenda, and Wish can no longer be certain where his body ends and the thing awakening within him begins. He has survived his entire life by becoming what others wanted. But what will he become when survival is no longer enough? P.S. To everyone who already read the first version of Wish's Desire: First of all, thank you for returning to this story. I strongly recommend reading it again from the beginning, because this new version is far more than a simple edit. I have changed almost everything surrounding the pacing, character development, story details, background, atmosphere, and worldbuilding. Looking back, I felt that the original world and its characters were still too underdeveloped, while the story moved too quickly and relied too heavily on action for the kind of plot and atmosphere I wanted to create. Because of that, I deleted entire chapters, added completely new ones, expanded important scenes, changed major parts of the story, developed the characters and world more deeply, and revised the overall writing style. To put the extent of the changes into perspective: the original version had approximately 66,000 words. This new version has around 80,000 words. So even if you remember the original story, there is a great deal here that you have never read before. I hope you enjoy discovering this new version of Wish's storyComplete

But if this black-and-white world has really become Elijah's grim reality, then why is this young, mysterious man capable of adding color and a heartbeat to this dreadfully achromatic still life Eli is trapped in?

I didn't think I'd be on the run at 16, with two friends and murder on our trail. A bounty over my head, and a race against the clock. I found out things about my self that I didn't think possible, but I guess the monster in the closet watching me was real after all. #1-#OriginalStory (1/10/2020) #1-#SamsDaughter (1/21/2020)Complete![MASKED: Rise of the New Generation [Book One ReUploaded]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/387953770-256-k435754.jpg)
MASKED: Rise of the New Generation [Book One ReUploaded]
*REUPLOADED as the published version of the story* In a world full of super-powered individuals, comic books have become real life. Superheroes and villains have epic battles in the streets, aliens dash through the skies, and everyday people have their daily lives hindered due to collateral damage. That's just the norm that everyone has grown used to. It's a new age of young supers rising to the top, and New Elysium City is the epicenter for this new generation. The paths that they take will carefully carve out the fate of their metropolis they call home. Some may choose to be the very face of good and justice, while others may instead take a darker turn. And the rest? Well, they're perhaps just a bit disgruntled and tired. With a new hero team in the making, they all must overcome their own trials in order to work together successfully. Hopefully, they can do it in time to stop the new wave of villains as crime in New Elysium truly never ceases. But will they be able to properly balance their real lives with their secret identities? Or will the weight of the world come crashing down around them?Complete
