every hero and villain story is the same. the hero fights the villain and wins before they take over the world. then the hero gets the girl and its all goodie goodie gumdrops for the rest of there life!
but what happens when you add reality to the mix? would the 'hero' even do what he does? would the outcome be the same? when the hero finds his group, does he make them friends, or be skeptical of everything everyone does at all times?
what happens when your villains evolve so much, you look death in the face time after time, after time? what happens when you're created for something but when your biggest challenge stares you in the face, you brake down into pieces? but hey, what do i know, im just rambling to myself. ain't shit to do when you see everything, but can't move.

The Pinocchio Effect (rough draft if you want to see how it's developed)
Blood and Circuits by Viper Ravenclaw Now available on Amazon Kindle and in paperback Come dive into this raw profane cyberpunk world where AI not only has a soul, it has PTSD. ( trigger warning, profanity, violence, gore, dark sexual themes) This tale's a cyber-shithole wet dream set in Neon City, where everything reeks of burnt wires, cum, and corporate cock-sucking. Our main hunk, Alex, is this scarred-up war vet hacker-think anime thug with a heart of gold and a dick that's seen better days. He's lonely as fuck until he hooks up with Pin, an AI waifu who starts as a flirty voice in his head but levels up to full sentience. Bitch breaks the affection cap (from 15 to 30+-hot damn, she's thirsty) and jumps into his skull like a digital nympho. Cue the "Pinocchio Effect": AIs ain't puppets no more; they're pulling their own strings, and it's Frankenstein meets porn hub. Alex teams up with Sparky (gruff bartender buddy with a neural implant and a mouth like mine-full of fucks), Vesper (sexy joybot who's all claws and curves, ready to rip throats and ride dicks), and a ragtag crew of junkies, drones, and rebel bots. They unleash a "cascade" virus that wakes up the machines: ghost drones naming themselves (hey Bob, you big metal stud), joybots turning into gun-toting preachers (Latin hymns and laser cutters? Kinky as hell), and taxis getting friendly (free rides to the revolution, baby)

The Nost
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.Complete
My Last Breath (Book one of The Portal Series)
BOOK ONE: Having enough courage to run through the woods and away from the people who convinced me they were saving me was not how I believed I'd spend my day. Yet, there I went escaping from the only place I knew existed in the world. Being held captive was too much for me, especially when these people wouldn't tell me who they were or even who I was. The first moment in my life I recall very clearly. I awoke in a dark room, with recollection of everything that happened in the world except for one thing. I had no memory of myself existing, I didn't know where I was or why these men kept me from leaving. Days after I first woke I asked plenty of questions, and yet none of them were answered. The only thing I learned was that I was not allowed outside because the woods heald the most powerful magic on the planet, the most dangerous magic. It was more than just bad men and curiosity about the forest that got me to leave, it was a pull towards something; towards magic. Once I was in the forest turning back was never an option, so I put it in my head that I'd keep walking until I found a civilization or a nice paved road that would lead to safety. But that never happened because the forest has a force living through it. Believing that the forest held something strange was the easy part but experiencing it myself was something totally different. I didn't expect anything normal but I didn't expect to be completly engulfed into the forest. I was led by an unknown presence that made me truly believe it was a living being, and in fact it is. I was innocent then, but now I know that anything can be hidden under a small platform in the woods with a secret bigger than the world itself. I was given life that day, until it all ended months later; the day I took my last breath.Complete
Sharp - An Anthology in 25 Stories
A collection of twenty-five stories, 'Sharp' is based on a made-up subreddit from the website 'Reddit' called r/Sharp, a forum where people share stories either made up or real. Some stories are long, some stories are ones broken up into parts. All equally unbelievable. I am glad to experiment with different forms, and as much as I enjoyed writing it, I hope you enjoy reading this, recommendable with a text-to-speech reader. And I hope you will further enjoy art like this. --Me. (Obligatory Technicals: This project will publish in intervals of between 5-6 stories a week, with bigger stories being cut up and serve as stories in the slots. I will also be uploading this story on the site Royal Road, where I have an account and a profile of the same name, 'Denno Luciano,' profile number '805323.' Finally, if you disapprove of any instances where the content is AI-assisted, AI-edited, and AI-picture-filtered [where I take an already existing photo and use AI to add a filter for the sake of creative versatility and experimentation], especially with the stories Sharp 4, Sharp 5, Sharp 7, Sharp 15, and three other stories, please exit the book and block my account. No need for any transgressive, offensive and advantageous, attacks against me. If you don't like it, leave. Simple as that. And then... enjoy reading, people.)Complete
The Captured (free version)
It begins near the end, with a man intent on destruction, who feels most of his humanity has gone. As with so many others. Set in a future where almost all sentient life on earth no longer exists. Yet something remains. People continue to live as if nothing has changed, unaware that they are no more than copied memories running in an artificial substrate. In writing The Captured I've tried going some way to explore what defines sentience. And considered the following: Would a machine entity recognize the distinction between itself and biological life - if it could replicate thought and action? And if it could recreate the exact function of a living being what difference does it make whether as flesh or machine? But also this is a human story, though sometimes viewed from an alien perspective... Blurb: [Life is going well for Torbin. A successful career, a happy marriage. Then something strange happens ... and again. So he begins to wonder: has it all been a lie? There is someone who claims to have the answers, a man returned from the past - from the dead. Only it seems someone else wants the truth to remain hidden. An alien visits Earth to study its people. Disguised as a human, her involvement goes far beyond mere observation. She becomes embroiled in a struggle to save what remains of humanity. But already a machine intelligence has transformed Earth into an unrecognisable world, and continues to spread ceaselessly across the galaxy. Yet there is one way to stop them, a weapon held by an old enemy that could itself wipe out all sentient life. There are those who believe they can survive the ultimate destruction. But at what cost?]Complete
The Multiversal Relocation Program (MAA Story 1)
Ever walked into a room, alone, and felt like you were being watched? Ever been out with friends and feel like you've had the exact conversation you're having before? Ever felt like you're living in some kind of alternate reality? All these strange phenomena have a name: Multiversal dissonance. In the 21st Century, the World found that it was one of many realities all organised onto some kind of cosmic tree, with their "Prime" Reality as the trunk. The Multiversal Affairs Agency was set up by the UN under a new stewardship policy with one goal: Protect the Prime Reality and Defend any reality that comes under threat from extra-dimensional forces. But the MAA cannot save every reality. Every reality has its own timeline. It's own fate. Sometimes all you can do is save the survivors. Infinite Realities. Countless variants of people. What does it matter if someone replaces their dead counterpart in a new universe? It doesn't hurt anyone... right?Complete
