War runs in your veins. 

In 2020, war is brewing. Forces in the middle east are losing countless to both sides. But they have brought their covert weapon; Pestilence, with their dreadful chemical technology, wishes to wipe out the U.S. Forces in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and several other countries, and take the fight back to them. 

This cannot happen. Fortunately enough,  they have brought their own weapon. T.E.C.H, a branching division from the CIA, has brought something that may just turn the tides. 

Join Matthew Cade, as he turns from his  past and finds new allies, strength, and enemies. Experience the fight against Pestilence, and finally, the battle within.

This is the second book in the PLU.

The Unwanted by genmei
9 parts Ongoing Mature
In a time long past, a pureblood vampire prince was born-a rare and coveted being. From his first breath, he was showered with love and riches, his parents' adoration boundless. Yet, as the years passed, it became clear that the prince was not the serene creature of the night his lineage had foretold. His noble spirit danced on the edge of peril, and his impulsive defiance grew too wild for even the most patient hearts. Abandoned to his own devices, his path became a descent into shadow. Centuries later, war ravaged the land and the prince teetered on the brink of ruin. Desperate to reclaim his lost glory, he was forced into a dark pact-a marriage with a powerful witch, once his sworn enemy. Bound by fate and necessity, she became his reluctant bride and only hope. But as the prince battles the shadows, he must also confront the storm within his own heart.

In the mystical realm of Valisthea, ancient legends and potent magic converge amid a once-tranquil kingdom now teetering on the edge of turmoil. An ominous threat driven by nefarious ambitions looms, poised to shroud the land in unrelenting darkness. At the heart of this unfolding saga stands a young hero, chosen by six divine entities known as the Astral Gods. Endowed with a sacred sword infused with their powers-each representing wisdom, might, grace, agility, serenity, and energy-the hero rallies a steadfast band of warriors. Together, they form an unyielding bastion against the encroaching malevolence. Among these loyal companions are a courageous princess, a skilled swordsman, a noble knight, a stalwart warrior, a strategic tactician, and a formidable mage. Their unity is tested as they confront not only the malevolent force but also its ruthless enforcers, including the dreaded Reapers of Death. As the conflict escalates, the hero and their allies face daunting trials that push the limits of their strength, resolve, and camaraderie. Dark sorcery, relentless adversaries, and overwhelming odds threaten to engulf them. Each character's distinct abilities and unwavering dedication are pivotal in the unfolding epic. This gripping narrative interweaves themes of bravery, friendship, and sacrifice as the hero and their companions strive to safeguard Valisthea's light. With evocative landscapes, heart-pounding battles, and poignant moments, the story captures the timeless struggle between forces of good and evil. Tailored for aficionados of fantasy and adventure alike, this enthralling tale promises a journey filled with exhilarating twists, potent alliances, and a conclusion that will leave readers hungering for more.

M'kay. So you know choose your own adventure books? Basically at the end of each chapter you can comment on a line to vote for choices that will impact the story (example: Do they chase after someone or let them go in favour of doing something else). These choices will impact the story, development of characters, and even who lives or dies. You will have no information about what these choices will do beyond what the characters know, much like in if you were in their situation. This is a au, (I love aus so so so much) in which they have powers. Not saying who, what, when, where, or why yet and unless you make the choices that lead to discovery you simply won't find out. Some things WILL happen, regardless of choices (for example, if choice A lead you to meeting Patton and choice B lead you to Logan, You would still meet both, but the one who is voted for will be a more significant character, but it will be fairly equal) early on in the story choices may appear twice, allowing a second chance to discover that character/event/info, and choices will be fairly obvious (ie, Patton at a dog park, Logan at a Library) but as stakes get higher it gets harder. Can you discover the truth and keep everyone alive? I have a main story so updates will be infrequent. Which choice will be decided when I write the next chapter based off who has the most votes at the time. I may write all alternate endings in the distant future if people want, but I won't get ahead of myself. Yeah, ok I doubt anyone's still here.
