The Story of Midnight
"Who's out there?" One of the men yelled. Of course only silence met them. I remained quiet and waited for the group to start moving again. "Maybe it was just an animal." Someone whispered. The person, who I assumed was the captain of the small squad, signaled for them to walk again. They clearly showed fear as they kept going; brandishing their weapons to guard themselves with. "Two are holding lanterns. I'll tell you when you're too close to them." I heard my friend whisper in my ear. I followed the men as I picked up another branch and waited for the right time to break it. They continued to walk through the forest, turning their heads in every direction as if an animal might lunge at them and rip their throats out. I guess in a way I was going to do that. "Go back a few feet." My friend whispered. I carefully distanced myself from the group and waited. "Where is she?" I quickly snapped the stick as soon as he finished asking the question. They stopped and two soldiers raised their lanterns to shine its light in the darkness. I quickly hid behind a tree before both of them turned where I was. A low frustrated growl came from one of the men, "The girl's playing with us. She's out here following our every move." How paranoia can cloud the mind. At nine years old, Silver decided to leave her village for the forest. Since then, she's been hunted; everyday is a fight for her life, every breath she takes could be her last, but she's determined to stay alive. Her life isn't the kind anyone would want to live but she's managed to survive this long so, what's a few more years?Complete
The Knight and the Sorceress
The world of Eldoria, a land brimming with magic and peril, has been simmering in my imagination for years. It began as a simple sketch, a knight silhouetted against a stormy sunset, a fleeting image that ignited a wildfire of creativity. That knight, Sir Kaelan, became the heart of this epic tale, a testament to courage, resilience, and the enduring power of hope in the face of insurmountable odds. This book is more than just a story; it's a culmination of countless hours spent crafting a richly detailed world, populating it with complex characters, and weaving a narrative that explores themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness. I have endeavored to create a world that is both familiar and fantastical, a place where readers can lose themselves in the adventure while simultaneously reflecting on the complexities of the human condition. The journey to bring this book to life has been arduous yet deeply rewarding. From the meticulous world-building to the intricate plotting and character development, each stage has been a testament to the power of imagination and the dedication required to bring a vision to fruition. My goal is to transport you, the reader, to Eldoria, to make you feel the biting wind on your face as Kaelan rides into battle, to hear the whispers of ancient prophecies, and to share in the triumphs and heartbreaks that shape his destiny. I invite you to embark on this epic adventure with an open mind and a courageous heart. May your journey through Eldoria be as enchanting and unforgettable as it has been for me.

His Prize
Nina is captured by parbeing man. He plans to turn her into his pet. He knows she won't go down without a fight, but he's not prepared for how much 'fight' she has packed in her small body. His new pet leaks into every area of his life, changing things in ways he could never have imagined. Parbeings are the new and improved apex predators of Earth. Created from gene editing, they are the perfect humans, so perfect that they are no longer even considered human. *** Content Warning: The protagonist of this story is a victim of abuse. I do not condone the actions of the antagonist *** Chapter 1 extract: "Hey Alex. Get over here. I've got something for you," he calls into his collar radio. I reach the end of the alley and turn to face my foe once again, but he remains where he is, still blocking my path but not approaching either. New plan: when he gets close, duck under his arms and make a run for it. Now I just have to wait. Before a minute has even passed, another armoured soldier appears and joins the first. This just keeps getting worse. How am I supposed to dodge past two of them? "What do you want now?" the new soldier grumbles. This one must be Alex. "Look at this cute little human I found. She's feisty. I think she's perfect for you." I glare at them. "I don't want a pet human. That's your disgusting fetish, and I'll have no part in it." "Oh come on Captain," the first soldier whines, "You don't have to fuck her, just train her to be obedient. Surely you can control one measly wild human? You are a captain after all. When you're done, you can just get rid of her, like I do with my humans." What the fuck? For a brief moment my fear is replaced by anger. Who do they think they are, talking about me like I'm some kind of wild animal? "Get the fuck away from me! You freaks!" I screech. The first soldier just flashes an evil grin. They don't budge. "Are you just going to let her talk to you like that?" he goads Alex. (Complete. 70k words.)Complete

Oceanum Collis
"Let me prove to you I am unlike them." Thousands of years ago, there was a faraway land called Oceanum Collis. Many different people lived among each other in peace. Elves, mermaids, werewolves, and humans. After fighting hundreds of wars, the people came to a compromise and started to work together. Realms were united and civilization was born. Oceanum Collis was beautiful and peaceful, but with light comes darkness. The humans felt left out. While the others had magic and great strengths, they were nothing special. A young man, Basil Adelio, found that humans deserved more than to be farmers. But there was more to his plan. He was after the throne, so he could rule all over Oceanum Collis. Together, the magical creatures were able to stop him. The humans left the lands, leaving behind everything they had built. The alliance between the four people was broken. The elves and mermaids tried to rebuild their alliance, but without the werewolves it was impossible. And so the three different people parted, hardly talking to one another ever again. Now, one hundred years later, a new realm has been created. It was separated from the other realms by a large wall. A new leader has risen from the shadows. He believed that the outside world was filled with dangerous things. So, he made sure everyone stayed within the walls of the empire. And those who didn't were never heard of again. As others always looked away, a young man called Orlando, always glanced beyond the wall. One day, he's able to see what's behind the wall for himself instead of hearing stories. A new world lies ahead of him, but it might not be as beautiful as he had hoped. A/n: Hey guys! So this is an original story. Please, do not copy the story or use my characters without my permission. I've taken a long time to set this all up. Thank you! And love you all! -Jay25211💜💜Complete

War for Change
Humanity used to thrive in 2035 until a group of scientists started playing God. This science team was recruited by all the top world leaders and they've begun receiving demands for a super soldier, and they began experimenting on animals, which gave the scientists expected results, but like all experiments, there was a chance for failure. The humanoid animals, or Anthros for short, started getting smarter, faster than the scientists expected, or reacted. The Anthros broke free and took what was left of the 'White Mist,' the substance that created them, and put it into the planet's air supply. Long story short, most animals worldwide have begun transforming into Anthros, and started devastating the world's militaries before attacking cities. Humanity is now facing extinction with their last millions while the Anthro civilization is over 2 Billion strong and counting. The war between Humans and Anthros has lasted for over 50 years, and while humans may be disadvantaged against the Anthros higher strength, speed, endurance, and intelligence, they still beat Anthros with improvisation, adaptability, and tactics. The war has destroyed all four Eastern continents, leaving behind a creature both Humans and Anthros call Reapers, who are husks of the person they were. The Anthros have near complete control over North America and are fighting Humanity in South America, but the main human bases are located on the Hawaiian islands. With death seeming inevitable for human kind, can nothing stop humanity from extinction? Zero has just graduated from high school with good marks and a scholarship. His family wanted to celebrate, so they said they would wait for him. He went back to grab his wallet, and as he turned around, he started falling in a wormhole, closing afterwards.

Translucent Shadows
Once upon a time in a wonderous land called 'Elsinore', the few citizens left have just survived an massive attack by an evil necromancer that has been haunting them for decades. This assault was so destructive that the radiation has spread to a virus that destroys most living things. A small percentage were immune but only high powerful equals (and orcs) that knew some sort of extreme magic made it. Most are unaware that this event has happened even though it wiped out 98% of the world's population. The main character, Crow gets extremely lucky with power and turns into an crazy nutcase. This is his back up story and reasons why he turned out that way. This is a prequel to another story that will be out shortly after this one is completed. Keep in mind that I wrote some parts two years ago so this may be out of order. Also you can skip the first part, it is just character descriptions. I'll be editing the mistakes once it is completed Thank you and enjoy! (Also thank you so much for the 1000+ views! :D)Complete
CATA-CLIMB
[TV SCRIPT] After years of humanity eating away at it's own resources the United Nations collapsed throwing our world into turmoil, Famine and thirst ravaged forcing mankind into a new era of greed and virtue, Now bolstering up was a new beginning for us to face, No longer were we firmly placed at the top of the food chain we found ourselves the ones being hunted, Due to radical science and research across the globe, Viruses continued to uncontrollably spread mutating everything they came in contact with, Three of these viruses stood toppling the rest which would come to be known as The Rot, The Altered, and The Plagued, Survival and ignorance led us down a path of isolation only growing to further one's individual standpoint, We left control of our world to governments who turned their backs furthering personal ambition, Not preventing for what would happen to the masses in a calamity, As a result the Cataclysm hit changing our world forever, An anomaly between untested atomic experiments interfused with particle matter and energy caused a gaslight explosion simultaneously struck across the world, Mutating any living creature outside during this event, Drastically changing in ways unexplainable until witnessed in the flesh, As a result humanity was withered down to only twenty percent of its once dominant population, Strung out and cornered into colonisations after years of rebuilding we attempt to adapt rather then conquer, Surviving in this new reality we've been tested to outlast, Spread across the world which was we remain thinly divided, All which was known has now become scarce or deemed extinct, Humans now find themselves on the edge of a losing battle further suffering in this dark abyss we're forced to walk through, Adapting is key to thriving in this new cutthroat environment which we have been tasked to liveComplete
