Jules is a young man barely a century old. He's lived long enough to see the cure for death and the end of scarcity, to learn ten languages and compose three symphonies...and to realize his boyhood dream of taking up residence in Disney World.
Disney World! The greatest artistic achievement of the long-ago twentieth century. Now in the keeping of a network of "ad-hocs" who keep the classic attractions running as they always have, enhanced with only the smallest high-tech touches.
Now, though, the "ad hocs" are under attack. A new group has taken over the Hall of the Presidents, and is replacing its venerable audioanimatronics with new, immersive direct-to-brain interfaces that give guests the illusion of being Washington, Lincoln, and all the others. For Jules, this is an attack on the artistic purity of Disney World itself.
Worse: it appears this new group has had Jules killed. This upsets him. (It's only his fourth death and revival, after all.) Now it's war...

(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right. Her and her best friend, Aviary, lived together in a cute little apartment off the central part of the city, yearning to create new memories and important moments. Amelia always lived for the moments, taking in every little detail and savoring it like it was her favorite meal. She was an optimist, hoping to change peoples lives with her dreams. James Vallette was a 34-year-old CEO, building his company from dirt with the help of his brother. He was a realist, not really having time to deal with dreams or even love. He knew this the night he laid eyes on Amelia. It was only casual; what harm could a one-night stand do? Oh yeah, he's her dad's boss.Complete
The Altered.
guys please don't read this anymore lmao i write totally differently now💋 _________________ In a future where humans are genetically modified -- 'altered' -- at the age of sixteen, the world has been, until now, a safe place. Without changing a person's personality, undergoing the Alteration perfects their appearance, IQ, and even their immunity to diseases. No human passes the age of sixteen without being Altered. In the blink of an eye, things change. An ominous message is sent out to all of those below the age of sixteen, providing precise instructions that suggest they flee. Simultaneously, a deadly virus starts to spread all about the world, attacking only the Altered -- every human over the age of sixteen. The virus eats at the modified human brain, and soon the Unaltered begin to realise that the Altered are losing their minds. Home is no longer safe. Friends and family turn on one another, losing control of their own minds and bodies. The Unaltered aren't safe. Even if the virus isn't attacking them, the ones with the virus are. Set on a pristine, futuristic Earth, this is the apocalypse like you've never seen it before. (Rated mature for graphic depictions of violence and mild language.)

Ms. Mafia
Being the only daughter of the Rossini Family, Audelia Valentina Rossini becomes the target of countless dangerous enemies and what happens if she falls for one of them resulting in deadly consequences that will change her life once and for all. Is it possible to love one who has destroyed your life and taken everything dear from you? I think not... "You don't know who you're messing with, Rossini." Holding a gun, he stood in front of me with disappointment written on his face. "And we both know very well that you won't shoot me..." His expression changed from an infuriated one to a shocked one, finding truth in my words. I continued my sentence. "But I can." I pulled a gun out from my back pocket catching him by surprise. I aimed it right at his head, grinning. My fingers brushed around the trigger pulling it. "And that's why I always win." . . . . Hi, this is my second book but I'm still inexperienced with these kind of writing and stuff. All I know is that writing makes me feel happy and content, and I would love to make you happy by sharing this story with you. Please note that the first few chapters might be boring. But I wanted it to be that way, I wanted to show how the lead character changes herself differently just to adapt to her surroundings, how she is good and at the same time, a bad person.Complete

"I'm going to kill them." "Julian!" I gasped. "You can't -- that's murder!" "I'm well aware." "You'll be a criminal." His mouth twisted. "I prefer the term 'outgoing'." "There's nothing outgoing about killing someone!" "Ambitious?" "Not that either." He frowned like he was thinking. "What, then?" "Try illegal." ------------------------------------------------- Brooke Miller moved. She moved to a new town, a stranger in a place frozen in the 80s, unified by a belief she doesn't share. Meeting Julian Jones is both a curse and a prize. Yes, he's gorgeous. Yes, he's cruel. Yes, everyone stays clear of him. But there's something about him that's not quite right, besides his inability to stop staring at Brooke. She doesn't understand him - and yet, she wants to. It isn't long before she finds out monsters own Grove Hill; monsters nobody knows about. And these monsters are desperate to capture Brooke for themselves; a phenomenon even Satan himself is after. Trusting Julian seems like the only choice. Yet, when every vamp wants something, and protection is limited, chances are they'll get it. But if it's the one thing Julian can't stand to lose, how far will he go to keep Brooke safe?Complete
Oblivion
Vitium Cavum. Or, the better known 'Hollow Disease'. Five years ago, in an alternate universe, scientists were on the verge of creating the immortality drug. Only, somehow, it escaped in the early stages of development, when everyone was working to rid of all the negative side effects. Those 'side effects' practically rip a person's soul away from them. Hence the name 'Hollow' Disease, because this virus makes whoever is affected an empty shell with no soul. Now, only a handful of people around the world are currently unaffected by this disease. Some of them had their families torn apart, some lost their friends, and some lost the person they were in love with. And that's where our story begins; in the year 2019, five years after Hollow Disease nearly destroyed the entire world. [Warnings: death, blood, violence, attempted suicide, suicidal thoughts, mentions of stillbirth, and other mature themes]Complete
