Featured on the official _ShortStory_ profile!

Clocks, you see, are essential for life, and for death. 

 People's souls are intricately tied to their individual clocks; so long as the hands tick, life goes on. A person's life (or lack thereof) is wholly dependent on their clock, not disease or even age. The Guild is in charge of making each person's clock, the device that anchors each soul to time. Without their clock, a person can exist in the past, the present, and the future, all at once.

Time is the heart of this world, a world of clockwork monsters and spinning hourglasses, of skilled mechanics and visionary makers, of magic and mayhem. Enter if you so wish, but be warned: you will not be the same when you leave.

^^This is a collection of different short-to-medium stories set in the Clockwork Universe. (NOT fan fiction of anything)

The Clocker Family || Limited Life by Glitched37

This is a fic based in the 1970's era or somewhere around that. It is mainly based around the family of Clockers in Limited Life. Trying to combat the constantly counting down time. There will be 70's slang (That I might be using completely incorrectly, I wasn't alive back then), and technology from then. It's going to include the Clockers (Cleo, Scar, Bdubs), the Ties (Tango, Impulse, Etho, Skizz), The Bad Boys (Grian, Joel, Jimmy). Written by: Cosmo + Caspian She tried a ton off stuff. She was scared for herself, but when her clock got under a minute, her heart was going super fast. Then it ticked down, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0. She closed her eyes, but still could hear the world around her. The clock ticking, the fax machine still ringing, the lights still buzzing. She opened her eyes and looked down at her wrist where the timer was, -0:20, -0:21, -0:22. Then she felt her heart stop, this was the moment. She felt her lungs stop taking in air, her blood stopped moving around in her body, but she was still conscious. Watching her timer, -1:30, -1:31, -1:32. She sat there for another 10 minutes, waiting, but nothing happened.

A Nameless Song: Remembrance by ThatShyDude

I won't ever forget about you...about the times we spent together. They were the happiest moments of my life, and I will cherish them for as long as I live. I still remember it all from the day we met, and the times we spent together, I still remember them. I still remember it all, despite me not even remember my own name, I still just can't forget you or your face, I still remember it all...I still remember you. I don't even know how long it's even been since I last saw your face, months, years, decades? I can't remember anything, I can't even remember my own name who I was before...and yet despite all of this, and how much time time has passed... I still remember your name.

The Hololive Council (A Hololive Fanfic) *Completed* by ArlWrites

Are you ready? "The Council has decided your fate!" Concepts of the universe manifest into anthropomorphic-like beings are tasked with maintaining the structure of Earth. To normal denizens, these slip by their minds and humanity is left unbridled. While certain gods exist and preclude humans to go beyond their limits, there is yet another group of entities that surpass the never-ending unknown. These higher beings have been said to weave and tarnish the essence of life and create mayhem in a daunting and fragile world. These individuals are known as the concepts of Space, Time, Nature, Civilization, and Chaos. They are otherwise known as The Council. Arlo, a normal guy who's past his 20's stumbles upon one of the members and doesn't realize what he's getting himself into. (art is by hievasp)

"An Assassin?" | Hololive x Male!OC by ThePotat420

So this is what happens when the man, the legend himself, Yagoo, kindly asks an infamous assassin...a killer for hire to work as a body guard and house keeper for five chaotic girls in their new home. How hard can it be? They're just normal women outside of their fictional avatars right? ...Right? °°°°°°°°°°°°°° Follow this deadly man of the shadows as he tries to act like his job is the most normal thing ever; guarding a shark girl, the grim reaper's apprentice, a literal phoenix, a priestess with voices in her head and a British woman. A life with this bunch is far more bizarre and eventful than his days and nights of killing off individuals for someone else. Will he manage to become more than a human shield that they probably don't even need? Is there more to his own story than he lets on? Stick around and find out for the adventures this man will be dragged through without his consent! © I do not own any content of Hololive, the fictional characters of Holo-Myth and any other vtuber mentioned all belong to Cover Corp and majorly everything regarding the company in itself in this book is fictional and inaccurate to how they actually function. ©

Gaia (A Hololive Fanfic) *Completed* by ArlWrites

Elijah Rump basically had everything. A financially stable life, supportive parents, in the legal practice, and a loving girlfriend of six years, until said girlfriend had illicit messages with another individual on her phone. With no one to turn to (his parents are off on vacation, good for them!), he spends his weekends inside his room either working or lazing around. So much for excessive studying, he hasn't had a genuine friend in years to listen to his drunken rambling due to all the isolated late-nighters. Ceres Fauna, a seasoned and experienced vtuber of the Hololive community decides to relocate because of her genmates causing havoc in their respective dimension. She can't really take time to appreciate nature without a part of their ecosystem getting destroyed by one of Kronii's time bombs or Sana's calamitous sneezing somewhere in the universe. So, she moves to the quiet town of Hornwood, where its name contradicts its very own reputation.

Well, we shall see. ---- All characters apart from (Y/N) belong to Cover Corp. :)

The Land of the Purple Ring by DeborahJNatelson

The clockwork man is crafted, to begin with-his father forced by that terrible tyrant Time to create her a slave for all eternity. His brain boasts balance wheels and torsion springs; he can wind himself up with a key in his side; and, most importantly, his gyroscopic tourbillon heart glimmers with pure diamond. He is a living being and he is art, and he refuses to remain a slave forever. He therefore slips through Time's fingers as the Sands of Time slip through the cracks of reality (at least, when the time cats aren't using them as a litter box). Among astounding adventures, despite harrowing hardships, and in between escaping interfering enchanters, the clockwork man seeks his imagination, his purpose, and his name.

Life After Death And The Heavens Beyond Model by YousufTahirAli

My work is published under category "Physics and Astronomy" by "Lambert Academic Publishers", but its for the general population as well to read! My work is purely scientific and is based on facts. It is, in short, a sequel to the books of Stephen Hawking namely "A brief History of time" and "Black Holes And Baby Universes", and also a sequel to Albert Einstein's "theory of relativity". It offers a new understanding of time, a way never taken before. It is a piece of literature that combines various pieces of literatures on a single platform, for instance, it brings the "spiritual, islamic, physics, biology, information technology, and scientific reasoning" literatures on a single platform. This is some extraordinary work and it took me two years to complete the thinking and finally give it a written shape. Since this piece of work brings various pieces of literature on a single platform, a lot of literatures can intermingle on a single platform for the first time! See! This is a noble extraordinary work in literature. It might even win the "noble prize in literature"! I feel that this is going to have a lot of sales as well and since its extremely short (around 14,000 words and in 42 pages only) and mentions to the point theories and science, the people will eventually love it! Its written in extremely simple language so that the people may understand with ease. NOTE:- My book will be launched in 2 weeks. So I wish to send the pdf copy of my book. The book is attached with this mail. I just want a honest review, be it good or be it bad. :D
