Are demons after Blake or is he mad? 

Into the Light is a story of perception, zealotry, and social rebellion with a malignant version of Jiminy Cricket chirping opinions into the mind. It is an experimental novel. 

 May I introduce you to the Will, the collective unconscious and Jiminy Cricket of the internet age. The Will wishes to bring you Into the Light. 

Though this story is about all of humanity, and the roots of our dysfunction, the Will found it more effective to compose a single novel to convey its message. This far easier than speaking to each person individually. Plus, they might think they were going mad instead of reading fiction, which is almost the same. So, a story within the story. The person, or should I say character, the Will chose to manipulate for this purpose is Blake Moxley.         

Poor Blake, such a nice chap, was thrust into a world of a confusion after he began to see people become ghoulish creatures and sought answers, as one does during such situations, and found them in an ex-priest, or so he claimed, nicknamed Stiggy. Blake was told of mystical beings who controlled civilization from hidden seats of power; however, he was one of the few who could see their true grotesque faces. Being a concerned citizen, he set off on a crusade across the United States to expose the dastardly evil. Sure, it led to ruination as he confronted the beings who manipulated Business, Politics and Media, but in the end, he finds salvation. Well, sort of.All Rights Reserved

To Outrun the Darkness by Typewriter12245

"Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift." ― Mary Oliver. - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - Pardon the mess, I'm editing and switching certain chapters up right now. - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - Blake is normal. There's nothing wrong with him. The only thing is...he refuses to accept that it's past tense. Blake was normal. There's something wrong with him. Edward knows. He and his squad know, and they'll kill him. Blake will die to his curse, or by their hands. Either way is fine. In the world of the infected, if Blake were to accept it, he wouldn't survive. So, he chooses to risk it all, relying on the words of a witch, and leaves city limits in search of a cure. Monsters lurk, fires burn, and Edward will catch him in the end. Right? - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - This is mostly low fantasy; not romance. If you are reading for the romance, I suggest that you do not read this story. This is slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers. There is no smut. There may be other types of romance, but not for at least 25 chapters. There is a lot of violence. It is not the most graphic at times, but there is quite a bit of bloodshed.

If you are not into it, then you do not have to read. Both are of age; Edward is 19, Blake is 18.

But inside this castle were other Half Demons, some of them full, but they have always lived in harmony with each other. But then Kilala, And Inuyasha and the rest of the demons got the blame for what went wrong in the castle. But when truth it was all Kikyo's doing, she was spiteful since Inuyasha still refused to be with her, she began to be filled with hate and hated the human race and everyone who dared keep Inuyasha and her a part, even though Kagome and Inuyasha were but merely friends now, they had sorted out their own friendship, and she is now engaged to another from the castle when he joined up to help fight with them. But when things were going horrible Kikyo chose to place a curse on all demons in these areas to put the blame on Inuyasha making them hate Inuyasha, but it only brought them closer together they became a clan, but the spell forced them into stone by day and at night they'd reawaken but because of this they could never walking the light with anyone again sadly this fate became all of their punishment so all demons good and bad all around the world and everywhere were infected with this curse and they all became a lot like real living gargoyles. So, anyways, but when the attack at the castle happen the main wizard assumed that the Demons had betrayed them and he forced to use the same spell as Kikyo had, He sent them all into stone and it said the spell wouldn't be set free until the castle raised high above the clouds. So, check it out. An old mage felt angry and chose to curse Inuyasha and the others who lived there every morning when the sun rose. They'd turn to stone.

In our world, there are two forces. One of darkness, and one of light. The forces of darkness dwell underground, in large caverns and ravines. The inhabitants of these spaces are demons, who are born of fear and anger, and thirst for it. These nightmarish creatures have one goal: slaughter the human race, and take over the world. Enter the forces of light. To them, genocide isn't that cool. They're like, "How about you NOT do that, 'k?" These shining paladins of hope (most of them, anyway) are trained to defend the world from these monsters. The guardians of the light are trained to protect at the 'Гэрэл Чапел' (The Chapel of Light). Jace, who came to the school expecting such, has spent years (one and a half) preparing himself to fight. However, he soon learns that the fight runs much deeper, and the stakes are much higher than he thought.

The Nost by Spbond

Jack and Ann have taken me on a great adventure full of mystery and incredible technology, I hope you'll join us. I know you have a lot of reading choices, but if you have space left in your literary adventure cup, please join Jack and Ann as 2021 turns into 2022, happy reading! __ The demon whispers inside Jack's mind. "They are not worthy, they are cattle, these new humans you covet. The so-called creator has betrayed you, replaced you with these organic imitations. Slaughter them all." It's funny, not in a ha-ha funny way, but a sad, my madness doesn't make sense type of way, Jack thinks, because wasn't he human? Worse still, the voice comes with impulses that are hard to resist. Violence usually ensues. That's why he joined the military. A way to channel his urges into mind-numbing physical effort and war. It works for a time. But alcohol and fighting can only carry on for so long. Finally, he realizes, his only way out is suicide. But when he opens his eyes, he's in the In-Between. The creator has other plans for him, and she won't take no for an answer. Apparently, this isn't his first life and if he doesn't free her from her prison, it won't be his last. His curse is to be reborn without end, without rest, without memory. Only madness. Now Jack is on the run from forces he doesn't understand. It's a new world. The mundane replaced by ethereal artificial intelligence, spontaneous virtual realities, and homicidal bible salesmen. But the creator promises the demon's voice will disappear as soon as he finds the right girl, the right bond. After that, they just have to escape the clutches of those who hunt them, find the Isle of Song, and free the creator from her prison. Or maybe this time, in this life, Jack will figure out what true freedom is. Come along on this action-packed thriller as Jack fights to remember who he is, tries to end an eternal war, and atone for sins he doesn't remember...yet.

The Dark Deception - The Return of Waeccende by gregorymohammed

Greg suffered terrible nightmares recently. He would wake in a sweat, breathing hard, and with no memory of the content of the dream. Confiding in his friends, they agreed to look over him as he slept to wake him at the height of the nightmare. Implementing this one evening, they discover the contents of the dream. That same night they retire ... Upon waking, they discover themselves in a strange land, and are quickly entwined in an adventure, which begins innocently enough, but slowly turns horrific and challenges their resolve and purpose. At first their path looks clear and simple. However, as they split into two groups and each pursue their tasks, they find themselves challenged with the strengths of their friendships and choices of self-preservation or of saving their friend's life instead. Ultimately they reach their goal, and the truth is revealed ... Author's note: I've written this book, as a sort of biography set in a fantastical realm. It is a description of my mental illness, which is a schizoaffective disorder, and the state of mind the condition puts me in. The way I've chosen to describe this is the best way I can articulate how I feel in certain situations. I describe the period of time I was in University studying Physics & Astronomy, up through to the completion of my MSc in computational astrophysics. I hope you enjoy this book, and hopefully it will help you to understand what people who are mentally ill go through daily, or maybe even help you understand what a loved one with a mental illness suffers.

A Blind Redemption by LyraMoon18

Au for Spiritual Origins (by EarthlyCrown615) Concept: A once before normal Steve turns for the worst and, upon death is met with the brutal and painful transformation of becoming a demon spawn of the World Below, now serving the Nightmare King (who now calls himself Demon Lord) and beginning to regret his choices he made while alive. Can he help save Spirit while he fights an internal battle between good and evil, or will the darkness take over, leading him further down the rabbit hole he got himself stuck in? Extra Context: This is a slow burn romance (nothing inappropriate) book with the thrill of a new infection spreading among the chromatics. Not only that, but the stakes grow higher when Elemental becomes suspicious of this new Demon Steve, and chaos breaks loose. Now, Spirit needs to find out who he can trust all while trying to survive behind the veil of lies and deceit. (⚠️Please note that this cover art and that only some of these characters belong to me!) Some TW include: - boy x boy - Major gore - Lots of blood and death

BEYOND: The Nameless Eater by Gaston_Jay

The spirits made manifest by mankind's consciousness seek nothing but tyranny and chaos, possessing humans and corrupting them into monsters. However, those with enough mental fortitude tame these spirits within them and become capable of controlling the powers of these spectral demons. In this Journal that I have salvaged, you'll follow the perspective of the blindfolded Damien Lopez, a boy (Probably) with more going on with him than what meets the eye in his struggle to reclaim the peaceful life robbed from him by the cold whims of fate and discover concepts along the way, such as 'Love', 'Friendship', 'Forgiveness' and most importantly, 'Clobbering the life out of demons'.
