Ray Hatfield was marked. Maybe not like how an organized crime syndicate would mark him, but he was marked, his every keystroke monitored, every click observed. All to serve an ultimate end. All to serve the greater good. But Ray was unaware of this. What was foremost on Ray's mind at this point was his splitting headache and the uncertainty of how he was going to pay his rent at the end of this week.

Augmented is a near future paranormal techie thriller. It's a work in progress. Like way rough. Enjoy!

Aquaventure by ExciterBooks
1 part Complete
In the vibrant heart of Cuba, a young man named Manuel has long dreamt of working at the new Chinese luxury resort that overlooks the turquoise Caribbean waters. When he's offered the position of a lifeguard, it feels as if the universe is finally aligning in his favour. But this isn't just any lifeguard position. As part of his training, he's handed a pair of cutting-edge augmented reality (AR) glasses designed to enhance his capabilities and ensure the safety of the resort's guests. With their sleek design and intuitive interface, the glasses offer Manuel real-time data, from detecting swimmers in distress to predicting potential hazards in the water. His job becomes a blend of tradition and technology, and soon, he's known as the most efficient lifeguard on duty. However, tranquillity at the resort is short-lived. One fateful evening, as the sun dips below the horizon, the serene atmosphere is shattered by an unforeseen threat: terrorists storm the premises, holding guests hostage and demanding ransoms. The resort descends into chaos. Amidst the panic, Manuel's glasses activate an unexpected mode. They begin to provide tactical insights: safe paths to evacuate guests, real-time locations of the attackers, and potential objects to use for defence. What once was a tool for beach safety transforms into an invaluable asset for survival. Guided by the AR glasses and driven by his unwavering sense of duty, Rafael navigates the treacherous situation. "Aquaventure" is a tale of unexpected heroism and a testament to the convergence of humanity and technology during the gravest of circumstances. It underscores the idea that, when wielded right, technology can amplify the best of human instincts - courage, intelligence, and the unyielding drive to protect. This short-story is a tie-in to an upcoming novel series called MEANTIME.

"What are you doing babe," Jim's disembodied voice asked her. "I want to talk to you." "You are," his voice said, almost laughing at her. "Yes, but I want to hear you with my ears, not just in my head. I want to see your face again." "Okay. Well, you still have the little scrying mirror coin-thingy, right?" "It's not enough. I want to hold your hand in mine. I want to kiss your lips...I need to feel you again." "I know. You will one day. Soon." Hannah Stolzfus AKA Gabrielle Winston walked between two realms and lost herJim because of it...murdered by the Demon King by way of her unconditional love for her husband. Six months had passed after Jim's death when Chris, a friend from her ghost-hunting days, first approached her with his new "memorial bot," a brand new program that could communicate utilizing various algorithms; that could text and talk via phone and computer. But there were unexplained glitches; ghosts in the machine, he called them. He wanted her professional opinion as a psychic...Were they really ghosts? Knowing that Chris's dream was robotics, she wondered if he could take it a step further into a realm known only to science fiction? What if he could successfully create an android?

In every way possible...The perfect lure to attract the greedy Demon King. An original story about a love lost and a love reinvented...Like an amazing dream we sometimes wish to continue once we awaken, perhaps best left up to chance? Or not at all... Hannah is a young woman born of Amish ancestry with a secret. A secret so volatile that her entire family would be ousted or worse and to top it off, the souls of all of humanity hang in the balance. Free will's a bitch.

The Witch's Mates by AliciaAnn24
36 parts Complete Mature
I am just about to turn around and head down the alley toward the street when I see two shadows step away from the wall a little farther down from where I am standing. I can't see any features, but I can guess from their statures that they are both men. I don't know what species they are though, but given that they just witnessed me kill a vampire I decide it's time to get the hell out of here. At least they aren't blocking my path to the street. Just as that thought crosses my mind, I hear the back door to the club open and close. I don't want to take my eyes off the men in front of me, but I have to see who just walked out. To assess the new danger. Before turning to look though, I pull out my remaining weapon also hidden in my boot. A silver dagger. It's only really good for killing werewolves, but it can do some damage to other supernaturals too. I give the figures in front of me one last look, they haven't moved at all, and then glance behind me. My breath stops for a moment, and it feels like my heart stops along with it. *** Willow is a witch who hunts down and kills other supernaturals. After the Great Massacre of the Wiccan Community, their population had been decimated. So while they try to rebuild their population and plan their revenge, they take out as many supernaturals as they can. But everything changes for Willow when she meets Keaton, Everett, Aizen, and Devlin. *** *This is a fantasy reverse-harem romance novel. It will have mature themes, including but not limited to, violence, sexual themes, sexual scenes (including light BDSM), abuse, and mentions of rape. Please do not read if you feel uncomfortable with any of these things or if you feel they will be harmful to your mental health.
