Magic is the weapon. Demon knights are the target. Lillas Mikkinnan is the main suspect. She was born to kill knights. All demon cleaners are. At 18 years old, she has a body count higher than cleaners 3 times her age. The spectral human controls the elements and has been known to wield fire as a weapon. "The Charcoal Maker" is a moniker she earned by literally turning her enemies' organs to coal. The demon knights have very real reasons to suspect she'd go on a murder spree.

But they're wrong. Lillas has never killed in cold blood, only in defense of herself and others. Knights die at her hands because they play too much. Possessing or harming the weaker mono humans is the fastest way to gain the wrong attention from any cleaner, let alone one known to treat knights with extreme prejudice. Most importantly, when Lillas executes someone, EVERYONE knows. She is power. Power has no fear. Power doesn't lie.

With bodies hitting the floor left and right, the knights care about none of this. She either finds the real killer, or the whole city's gotta go.

Power of the People is book one of the "Demon Cleaner" series. It's an urban fantasy in the vein of "Bright" or Kim Harrison's "Hollows" series. While there are no fairies, there are vampires, magicians, empowered humans, spectral humans, and regular mono humans. The focus of PotP is the war between demon knights and demon cleaners. Later installments of the series will bring in other species into the mix. PotP is complete at 127,000 words.

A Pureblood slave by waand3rluust
34 parts Complete Mature
Cold and numb, that's the only thing I've felt for the past 3 months. There's around 10 other humans here excluding myself and new ones come everyday. No one knows exactly where we are, all we know is that our worst nightmares are about to come true. ** I was once a carefree and extroverted girl that would just go with the flow and live in the moment. That was until the day they came out of existence and started to up rule the world. Now they control everything, most importantly the human race. Some call them monsters, some call them the demons sending, but they are the purebloods, the first vampires to be created. They're the ones that capture us and sell us off as their slaves. They are soulless creatures that couldn't give a damn about anyone but themselves and their every need. ** This is my story about how I, Miabella Nicole Arksin, became a slave to the most powerful pureblood, Ronan Pierre. *This is the first story I've written so sorry if there's a couple mistakes here and there I'll try my best to fix them and thanks for reading :-)*
(REWRITING) The Skylar Experiment : Coveting by NoppityNope666
100 parts Complete Mature
"Three weeks. That's how long I got to have drama-free. I'm not sure what is happening to me or to Oakwood. Nothing's the same since I rolled into town and it just keeps getting weirder. Suspicious agents in suits roam the streets without an explanation. They're staring straight at me. The new Chemistry teacher is NOT who he says he is. I'm doing things I never thought I could. Like, mutant-level things... Lauren, Luc's dead twin sister, hid something from everyone. Something important that may have lead to her demise and that could lead to ours. Hunters are in town. I never knew four words could contain so much dread and terror. I'd rather deal with the Wanderers. I'm on the brink of a breakdown. I need help..." BOOK #2 IN THE SERIES! Ignorance is not bliss... In the wake of ridding Oakwood of Wanderers, other dangers come creeping in and they're somehow linked to Luc's absent twin. The past returns to haunt the mutants in inconspicuous ways. Riley's life is yet again in jeopardy, but this time she's not alone. Luc and his family are all thrown into the teetering balance. More secrets are uncovered. A trap dawns on them all. Invisible threats start crawling from all directions. Who is the real enemy? TW : behaviours of depression and PTSD are displayed. I don't name them, but one of the character will be struggling a lot. It may not be suitable for everybody. Other adult matters are briefly included, but nothing explicit or intense. Rewriting specifications : the main points of the story and end of the book will remain the same, am just going to change a few ways of getting there and adding some extra spice. Feel free to pause the read until the REWRITING sign disappears.

Worthy Chaos Book One-Reunited by clairexred
14 parts Complete Mature
Seraphina and Draven have a unique past that neither even knows about...another life another time...several in fact. They were unknowingly betrayed destroying their very existence. Wronged and separated which torn the very fabric of magic and fate, setting off events that could possibly destroy life on the planet as we know it. They were destined to be together, soulmates of the strongest degree. Yet forces unknown were set in motion to try and separate them for good. Seraphina's death was the key to changing the balance of the war between Demons and Angels, both sides seeking the power she held. Draven's destiny was to protect her. If they failed? Chaos in the Universe. Ever wanted to know what each character was thinking during a situation? Get inside their head? Have you ever read a story where the two main characters were written by two different writers? it makes the characters completely unique with completely different personalities. This story is not written in the normal style. It is written by two separate writers. The story is unique, exciting, action packed supernatural horror and romance. With twists and turns, Angels and Demons, weapons, love, you name it. We the writers are extremely passionate about this story and the characters. We have written all 7 books already for series one (including a prequel about how they met as teenagers and what really happened that dreadful night they were separated in this life). We also started a series 2, and a spin off where they are never separated that night and had to run away without knowing demons were after them or even that they existed. Not sure if anyone will even read it, but if you do, your opinions would mean a great deal to us. thank you! PS Cover is under construction from Artist but its a character design of our characters
Eye of the Needle: Into the Reikai by DystopianSmile
23 parts Ongoing Mature
Faith, fear, and fury. The strongest, most inalienable things that make us human. While the people of the world learn and grow, they shed feeling and emotion as time passes. Much like how matter cannot truly be destroyed, the energies of these sentiments never dissipates. Instead, it feeds beings born of all types of things, from ancient cultural followings to widespread societal discourse. In turn, these beings give back to the world--for better or worse. After the traumatic incident of his father's death, young DeMain is thrust into a world of turmoil and a hidden people right under the world's nose. As he harnesses a rare and unique ability gifted to him in exchange for his suffering, his view of the world unravels as he converges with others given the gift of Witchblood, an ability to see and interact with spirits. This book will take on its narrative based on the first-person views of three separate protagonists. I will remind those reading that 'protagonist' does not equate to 'hero' in all cases. A forewarning: This story includes many heavy themes and I felt the need to write them with the reality of how they happen. As such, be cautious. This book contains mentions of sexual assault, murder, violence, substance abuse, and overall conflict. There are also quite a varied amount of scenes with some 'gross' aspects to them. Though I imagine this would only affect those with vivid imaginations, you deserve to be warned regardless. Updates will done be once weekly if not more.
At the Fields of Fire and Blood by crisyah_
30 parts Complete Mature
The world is dying. Heaven and Hell have broken and collapsed, creating a post-apocalyptic landscape that is part purgatory, part platonic world of ideas, blighted by the horrors of the human mind. The sun lies dormant in the east, atop God's tower, while the west is plunged into darkness and haunted by all that lives there. There is no day and night cycle, nothing grows, nothing dies, nothing changes, unless magic is involved. Angels hunt creatures for their blood, to feed it to God so he can finish gestating. Demons kill and destroy aimlessly, their origins inexplicable and unknown. Stranger beings wander the ruins of what's left of the world. Humans need not eat or sleep, caught in a state between life and death. They cannot die or be born naturally, but they can be killed and they can be made. The few that survived with their sanity somewhat intact have locked themselves into warded cities, but their protections are feeble and often ineffective. The Order that united them is long gone, broken into factions known only by the sins for which they have fallen. The Houses that protected them are crumbling, falling into ruin as their members were culled down by angels and demons, as well as their own mad quest to save the world; the Pilgrimage, a vain attempt to steal into Eden and murder God himself. Soon, only the Scions will remain. Those that were left not due to merit, but because they were the last choice for being heroes. Those whose memories and minds are as damaged and eaten through as their world. Those who agreed to take on the mysterious Archons within their bodies and, through that contract, had ancient relics and rituals passed down to them. They converge onto a long forgotten neutral ground, trying to save themselves. A heroic journey through a nightmarish wonderland. A pilgrimage to God's tower, to make the world whole again. To cleanse the world of the horrors infecting it. To kill the God who will doom them all with his birth.

𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐌𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐋𝐞𝐟𝐭 by Mia_Ford22
33 parts Ongoing Mature
Very gently- her soft lips brush against mine. My eyes flutter closed and I lean back in, smiling. "Nyx, I swear to god, you are going to kill me one day" "What do you mean...?" "Forget it, you already have." ★★★★★ Nyx doesn't want the life she was given at birth. She's a fighter, not a pretty little object that needs saving. Kiran should have never been taken. He's never been a fighter, he acted more like a prince than a knight. When Nyx Maskousky was taken as a young child, she was raised as a thief, but more importantly, as a fighter. But there's a catch: she has to dress like a man, or she's immediately thrown in a cell to rot, where every fragment of her freedom will be gone- ruined. Kiran Taner was taken, along with three other children at eleven, and like everyone else, was raised as a thief. But just as the universe had seemed to want, he's never been strong enough, and has to spend long hours every evening with a woman he can't hide feelings from- Nyx Maskousky. But with a horrible twist of fate, Nyx and Kiran was caught- however not by the exterminators, but by the Trial judges- who put both of them together in the them. However, if they find out that Nyx isn't a man- her whole life will be torn apart, and she will be locked up, or worse, killed. And the trials will easily be Kiran's end, for how strong everyone else is, yet how weak he was. And with a terrible level of self control, Kiran needs to keep his feelings from Nyx for as long as he can. Or that could be his downfall. Extra details: Includes music in a majority of the chapters, thank you to all the creators who made them 🙏. This novel does have deeper meanings as it progresses, so please stick around for it.
