They were told that their ancestors wanted to start again. A clean slate, a new beginning. Away from the pollution and radiation, away from the eroding atmosphere and excess toxic waste that was soon to be the cause of the extinction of the human race.
That's what they were told on the space crafts. They were showed pictures of how Earth was crumbling before their eyes. Once white, blue and green, now unhealthy shades of brown, both the thing they called land and the big blue liquid they called sea.
They were told about the horrible crimes of their old planet. The mass murder and the cutting down of trees, the terrorism and the theft. The crime and poverty. The constant wars that killed millions and millions of people all around the world, which was sure to be coming to an end. They had been saved from all those horrible things. A new world, new land flowing with milk and honey. They were only children, but they knew who their heroes were; The Governors.
One million of them were taken in 100 space crafts. They never the saw the other space crafts but they were told about them. They were only seven when the space crafts arrived. It had taken 225 years to arrive and their Scholars had prepared them, teaching them about their two suns, the sky and animals. Things they had never seen in their lives, replaced by the ebony black veil of space with sprinkles of lights they called stars. A far as their seven-year old selves could tell, it was going to be their fresh new homes.
That's what their heroes told them.
But not the truth.
And let me tell you the truth; There's a Cursed and a blessed, and they could be either one.

The Mad Scientist Girl of the Hero's Party Is Only Here for the Materials
"Nothing has value. Everything is useful." Dear reader, have you ever heard of the Transforming Hero genre? You know the one- average guy (either a cinnamon roll or absolute filth) gets a transformation device, shouts something cool, and BAM! He's kicking evil's ass while surrounded by explosions and collectible power-ups designed to milk your wallet! Yeah. That genre. So imagine my excitement when I, an unapologetic tokusatsu nerd, get flattened by the infamous Truck-kun and wake up in a fantasy world full of magic and not urban fantasy... Also, I reincarnated as an elf girl with a monstrous mana pool and long-ass lifespan... PERFECT! Because my wish wasn't to be the hero. No no no. My dream is to be the crazy scientist behind the hero. The one making the flashy transformation belts, overpowered weapons, and seasonal collectible gadgets that make kids scream and parents cry. And thanks to my elf perks, I can finally build all that! One catch though... I need high-quality materials. Like "boss-tier monster drops" level. So I join the Hero's Party to harvest rare loot. unfortunately the so-called "hero" is a walking red flag. Super OP? Yes. Handsome? Sure. Morally bankrupt manipulator who brainwashed an entire harem using his Cheat? Absolutely. Luckily, I'm immune- probably because I died bricked up over transforming gadgets and people in suits rather than the people... and not because a certain title. There this one poor sap who is just the luggage carrier now. (He's carrying my stuff too- heaviest bag, no regrets.) Apperently he stayed to watch over his childhood friend? GHAHAHAAHA. HOW AMUSING! So I made a choice. That guy? He's getting my first transformation belt. And he's going to use it to wipe that smug, sparkly grin off Mr. Blessed's face.
The New Adults( DISCONTINUED TILL 2026 )
They were told to be heroes. But at the end of the day-they're still just kids. When kids all over the world suddenly developed powers, the government saw only profit-and fear. Families were forced to give up their children to brutal testing labs, or face execution for "fostering a threat." Some ran. Now hiding in the wreckage of what was once their home, a group of escaped kids has built their own society: The New House. No adults. No rules-except survive. They train. They fight. They bleed. Because every day, someone breaks the rules. One sneaks off to hear her mother's voice. Another plots betrayal from within. Friendships turn to rivalries. Love turns to loss. Powers spiral out of control. And when they fight-they don't hold back. But underneath the fighting, the power, the chaos... they're just scared kids trying to protect each other from a world that wants them gone. They're building a future without the adults they previously relied on and are instead forced to come together, but some of them would give anything just to go home.Complete
ECHOES OF THE VANISHED
Once, this world was painted in hues of green and blue,alive, breathing, and free. Now it lies cloaked in dust and sorrow, so pale that even the sky weeps in pity. Where wings once danced across endless skies, not a single feather dares to fall. The colours of life were stolen and those who took them, know their guilt too well. But isn't that the rhythm of life itself? To fall, to bleed, to rise again? Life was meant to be free wild as the wind, untamed as hope. Yet now, that life flickers...its final light trembling beneath the weight of despair. Until they came, the "saviours," wrapped in golden lies. They promised colour, promised salvation, but in the dark, they only snuffed out more stars. And just when the world's last song was about to fade life defied its own ending. It gave birth to something forbidden. Unnatural. Unwanted. Unbreakable. They were the echoes of rebellion souls forged in silence and fire. The world would tremble again, its nights filled with screams of the dark for the light these Unnaturals would ignite. For they were no longer just outcasts. They were "Revolutionaries" rising against the shadowed throne of a corrupted order, against the lies that chained the truth, and against the hands that silenced every voice that dared to speak. And through their defiance, the world would remember, that even in the deepest dark, light is born from those who refuse to bow.
The Boy above the clouds (JJK x Male Viltrumite Reader)
Everything comes to life with a purpose. Some exist to do good. Some exist to do the opposite. Existence of a being is the very result of free will. And those with free will can hold free will against the vulnerable. The strong, eradicated the weak. That was how the empire came to be. Only the strong rule. The weak perish. Because of this, results come. ---- A boy bred to conquer. Bred to dominate. Bred to manipulate. Bred to kill. Wired in the very depths of his mind, across billions of neurons, the key element of his very existence was to kill. Kill and assist the empire that brought him to life. Kill and overpower every existing "being" that opposes a threat to the empire. And kill and assist those that are the "strongest." Befriend if have to. Betray if have to. Breed if have to. All for the glory of the empire. <><><><><><><><><> "Yo, Megumi." "What?" "Did you watch the news? " "What of it?" "The American government released news of a...thing that pierced through the atmosphere, and they're not so sure what it is!" "What of it?" "It could be aliens." "Aliens? Are you seriously believing in that crap, Yuji?" "It's a possibility, though!" "Another possibility is that one of their spaceships up there in space failed to function properly and decided to crash back into the crust of the earth." "You're so negative!" "It's the truth. Those journalists are probably faking up that stuff to spread misconceptions, stir up a ruckus, and earn wads. Apparently, you fell for it." "That's not nice at all! Are you calling me gullible?" "Your brain cells served you right."
MYTHIC LEGENDS: FLAME AND EMPIRE
The war storms at the Frontier... The gods are broken. The empire is burning. And the end has already begun. A warrior with no past unleashes power no mortal should wield. A young ruler clings to a dying crown as his people lose faith. A chaos mage, feared and revered, walks with death in her shadow. Amongst their ranks-two Rifter siblings, wilders of ruin, benders of space and time. Feared. Watched. Leashed by the most powerful. But even under chains, love blooms... and loyalty begins to shift. When the empress falls into a cursed slumber-her unborn child the last ember of prophecy- the empire sends its strongest into the Abyss of Lost Quintessence: A place where even time forgets itself, where silence hungers, and where One of the Roots of the Umbrovyn Tree stands-ancient, cracked, and bleeding memory. Monstrosities roam, daring to strike in daylight. The veils whisper betrayal. Alliances splinter. Some stand frozen, unsure of their next move- fearing one wrong step may provoke the wrath of a dominion vast as a world and cruel as the gods who forged it. Old gods stir, craving redemption through ruin. The Royal House fractures beneath betrayal. A founding father, long patient, now bares their intent- to seize the throne by force, by cunning, by wagering all that is. Their House's malice toward the flawed Royal line can no longer be cloaked. Love will test loyalty. Legends will bleed. And in the dying light of Ether-Space- The Aurora must not fall... Or all realities will burn. 🔥
Hide And Keep
(H20Delirious X Fem. Reader) "wιll we вe ғree?" I asked He smiled, thats what I'm after. The smile on his face and sound of his laughter. "we wιll вe ғree тogeтнer! yoυ and мe!" He answered ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Being an orphan, you don't have a lot of experience's or happy memories. Especially if your orphanage uses you for human experiments. The pain...the agony- the screams of the other kids I once called friends and played with...all gone and replaced with despair. Only teddy could keep me company and keep me sane. Till one day, a new boy was brought in and he was strange. But he interested the kids, even the scientists. He was placed in my room and he never spoke a word to anyone. He would wake up in the middle of the night and gasp for air like if there never was any. But he was my friend. Things changed and a few years later, the orphanage was attacked. Two people came in and killed the scientists but spared the children. While making an attempt to escape, I was caught by the remaining scientists and taken away. The screams of my friend echoing behind me as I tried to escape... Such a waste as I became strong and have long forgotten those memories. But side effects came with the experiments they played with. Y/N is the name and being psychotic is my game. Don't try to catch me cause I can read you like a book in a grand library. Secrets are never kept when the walls an objects around you speak your truth... ╭⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯⌯╮ First Published: June 25, 2021Complete

Rogue. (IN REVISION)
Long ago, way before our time. A weary traveler left home to find new land for his family to thrive off of. Drought engulfed almost all of Elysium, called The Great Heat. The man traveled far and wide just to find a sign of life anywhere. It took him days and several hundred miles to find anything worth nourishment and care. He braved sand storms and blistering heat, his throat was dry and his feet could hardly carry him any farther. He collapsed onto the ground, his hands burning under the heat of the crackled ground. His vision blurred and mirages played with his suffering senses. His mind projected a tree into his line of vision, withering away but it's branches holding a single fruit. Besides his beliefs of it being a figment of his imagination, he crawled his way to it, bringing himself under the weak shade that it provided. He looked at the glistening purple fruit, what was it? He reached up to grab it, expecting it to fall through the image projected before him. His fingers wrapped around the fruit and he picked it from the branch. It was real! The fruit was real. He eagerly bit into the fruit and its juices trickled down his chin. He sat back and relaxed as the food nourished his body, he drank of its juices and picked out its many seeds, collecting them. He dug a deep hole until he felt moisture in the soil, planting the seeds into the ground. As it grew over time, the man used the old tree to build his home around the new one, tending to it religiously until it beared fruit. He brought his family and they lived there, planting trees and passing on the seeds for other places to spring life. Within five years the drought was over, Elysium was breathing again."Complete
Hero Time (Composite Ben 10 reader x Multiple Crossovers)
"In a world where Grimm, Danger Beasts, Monsters, and notorious villains run rampant, there are those who stand against them. Benders, Huntsmen, Heroes, people who have the power to fight them, for the sole purpose of defending the innocent. At least some of them. Other guys just want to prove how powerful they are, and push around people without powers. I learned that the hard way. My name is Y/n Tennyson. I'm 20 years old, and I am in possession of the most powerful alien weapons, in the universe. When I was little, people like Bakugo and Issei picked on me everyday, just because I was too powerless to do anything. So one day, I decided to drop out of Union Academy and went on a cross country road trip with my grandpa and cousin. Then on our first stop, I went out on a walk where a meteor fell out of the sky and crashed right in front of me. But, as it turns out, it wasn't a meteor, but a pod containing a watch that, once stuck upon your wrist, could turn you into any alien you want. Needless to say that my life went uphill from there. I traveled across the galaxy, saved it from blowing up. Fought a giant alien, AS a giant alien. Stopped a race from destroying the universe. Blew up my watch. Got a new one. Dated a tennis player, and broke up with her. Fought a giant alien, as a giant alien AGAIN, this time in Tokyo. Killed an interdimensional demon along with my archnemesis. And made friends with a Slimebiote named Skurd. Now me and my friends are unlicensed heroes who defend the world from destruction. Mainly because it's the right thing to do, but partially to show Union Academy what kind of hero I am now. And I can't wait to see the look on their faces."

After the Light: The Last 15
🌌 What if one light ended the world... and chose 15 souls to begin something else entirely? On a quiet night, a brilliant light descended from the sky. It pulsed once - then the world was empty. The next morning, only 15 people remained across the entire globe. Strangers. Survivors. Unexplained. Among them - a gifted engineer, a doctor with secrets, four scientists, two innocent kids, and a girl with memories she shouldn't have. Then there's Rei, a loner with no past... and the only one who heard the voice in the light. As they find each other, strange things begin to happen - time glitches, symbols burned into stone, whispers from the stars, and visions of a planet that doesn't exist on any map. When 8 of them launch a desperate journey into deep space to find the source of the light - they face betrayal, loss, alien warzones, and a mysterious world called K71-Gaudy, where nothing is what it seems. And at the heart of it all lies a stone - powerful enough to bring back humanity... or end it forever. 🔥 A love that blooms in the stars. A mystery buried in extinction. A battle between what was lost and what can never return. This is not just the end of the world. This is what comes After the Light.Complete
