"Such a conflicted life was by no means uncommon. Life is, and never was, as black and white as humans think. I like to think of life as a tapestry. Some threads are stunning and make your tapestry look so. Others are not quite as nice, and once they are woven in, they taint the whole picture forever. What they do not realise is that every thread counts. Some threads are harder to make up for than others - a few are almost impossible.
So when I finally ended the process to determine Richard's pathway, I was hardly surprised at all by the percentages on the screen.
Heaven: 36%, Hell: 64%."
Meet Griffith Reaper, Gatekeeper of the gates to Heaven and Hell. He must judge every life that comes before him, ticking boxes until they are reduced to no more than a couple of percentages. The job pays well - of course, that's not much use when you're stuck behind a desk all day and you get a break once every thousand years or so. Things change when Griffith is forced to face up to the fact that he is just as flawed as the humans he serves.

Summary Despite facing near-death experiences at the hands of religious fundamentalists, David Rice was able not only to survive but also to dismantle the power system and hierarchy that ruled the world for centuries.

But not for long*** Someone has set a target on David Rice's back claiming that he killed his mentor.

Death's Duty
(18+) *Complete/Unedited* ---- "You are death." I heard the grin in his tone. "Death's duty is to take care of the already departed. Newly deceased, and previously deceased alike." ***** Morrigan Wraith lives a double life; one not many would think to question. While on the outside she looks like a normal human detective, underneath all of that lies a grim reaper. Reapers were created at the beginning of time, formed to be unemotional and detached as a soul's transport to either Heaven or Hell. But Morrigan is unlike the rest. She was created with a defective heart - one that felt emotion, and one that got her into more trouble than she ever imagined. (18+ for language, violence, and sexual situations)Completa

Contraindication
[WATTYS 2022 SHORTLIST] "Hello again, Pizza Boy?" I glanced up at him with a smile. The blood was rushing out my head but it didn't bother me. "Are you back to make another attempt on my life?" "Shut up," he fumbled, absolutely petrified. "I-I hate you!" I laughed as we were both red in the face; one more sticky then the other, "Aww, I hate you too." My hands held my non-beating chest. "It's mutual trust me. But I guess you really want your Xbox back huh?" -- 17 year-old Evelyn Gates has a quiet yet witty personality. She usually stays in the background and is mediocre at literally everything... just ask anyone. She enjoys the smell of pizza and watching Guy Fieri stuff his face with food in her free time. Oh, and there's one more thing... she's immortal. That's right, Evelyn can't die, and she doesn't know why. Her body just magically puts itself back together again after tragic incidents. She calls it a curse, but the one other person who knows about it calls it a miracle. It's not until her pizza order turns deadly and her mom's boyfriend changes his outlook on life, when Evelyn finds out that there might be some more people involved with her immortality; people who are puppeteering her life and will stop at nothing but to destroy her. - Featured on: @TeenFiction 'FunnyBones' reading list: October 6th, 2021 @StoriesUndiscovered 'The Power of Laughter' reading list: June 1st -30th, 2021 -- Since mock websites are becoming more common, unfortunately, I have to give the disclaimer that this story is only being published on Wattpad.

MAGIC and All Other Deadly Affairs | COMPLETE!
Supposedly God's most favoured creation - the humans. For whatever reason, they were picked to rule over all else. When a mortal is born with a soul as pure as an angel, they were given power far beyond the ideology of merely "Light" and "Dark"; they were given the power of the universe with the gift of magic. These keepers told nothing about their purpose, soon brandished themselves with the label of "witches". Then something evil came. Something far beyond darkness, something that could shatter the very universe itself. These gifted mortals danced a very dangerous dance, trying to surpass the power they were gifted and although their souls (by design) stayed pure their hearts did not. And then with the birth of a new aspect of "Light" and "Dark", realms were made, and the hunt begun. A hunt Maeve Bishop was just dragged into head first with no warning by the arrogant, ego high, very attractive witch Norman Haze. A 'GATES UNIVERSE' BOOKCompleta
