Warlords
In a fractured land teetering on the edge of chaos, three unlikely fates are destined to intertwine. An elven warrior, driven by duty and wielding a spear with deadly precision. An orc leader, haunted by the death of his brother and a legacy of bloodshed. A betrayed prince, stripped of his crown and forced to flee, seeking vengeance and redemption. Their journeys converge as tensions rise across the land, and the threat of war looms on the horizon. Ancient rivalries resurface, and the balance of power grows ever more fragile. Each carries their own burdens, their own vendettas, but in a world where trust is scarce and enemies lurk in every shadow, alliances are forged in blood and fire. This is a tale of betrayal, vengeance, and redemption-a fantasy epic where survival demands sacrifice, and power comes at a cost.
MONSTER
JEFF THE KILLER x FEM READER S N E A K P E A K : My grip tightened, my brain began to go crazy with thoughts and different voices. "I'm not...a bad person." I whispered, my body leaned up against his chest for support as I felt my eyes begin to burn.

His hand grabbed my wrist, tight. I felt his other hand cup my cheek, pulling me closer to his body. "We are all bad people." He spoke aloud, his eyes not coming to mine once. "But...I'm not." I breathed out, trying to convince myself that I wasn't. "But you are, Y/n." He stated, looking down at me. His eyes were filled with... something unknown to my intoxicated mind. Deep down, I knew that for once, he wasn't lying to me. I truly was a monster, just, like, them.Complete

Losing Game
(TWs: gore, abuse, sexual abuse, cursing) Why does he still breathe? Why is he kept alive in this shadowed purgatory where time has no meaning, and screams are swallowed by the walls? His cell is a cage, his life a cruel experiment, and his mind a battlefield. Questions claw at him relentlessly: Who is he? What is he? Why does this torment exist? The walls bleed stories of others-lost souls whose cries still linger, haunting the air. His own voice has grown hoarse from endless screams, his body a canvas of scars, a map of suffering that tells no answers, only pain. Every day is a ritual of degradation, where faceless captors toy with his humanity, stripping him of it piece by agonizing piece. The only constant is the endless cycle of questions. Why him? Why the torture? What is their purpose? He clings to the faintest memories of a time before-fleeting images of warmth, love, a face he cannot quite recall. But even those are slipping away, devoured by the void growing inside him. In this relentless, suffocating darkness, where hope is a distant memory, only one question remains: When will the game end, and what will be left of him when it does?
