"The Fulvus Law - One is not to voice any opinion that conflicts with the Official Controllers' views. The Virens Law - One is not to question the authority the Official Controllers have over oneself. The Livens Law - One is to abide by the laws at all times and be able to distinguish between what is right and what is wrong."
Life should be simple enough, just three laws to follow. But what happens when all you long for is freedom of speech? What happens when you're tired of being controlled? What happens when breaking one of these laws could land you a death sentence?
'Time' is a short story I composed for a school English assignment. One day, I'm planning to turn the idea into a novel. :)

"Goodbye Curly Head"
Through thick and thin the Law shall prevail. A new sense of purpose awaits us, children of light, in the land where it all began. The darkness in which we once cowered in fear, now curbed by the might of our endless light. Come, brothers, come, sisters. Let there be peace among the wicked, just as the Law dictates. Peace and certainty is all that you have ever longed for, little angel. A bright, stable future. A roof without holes above thy head. Acknowledgement and recognition of thy existence, feverish dreams of grandeur. Greed born from yearning, treacherous vines of rapacity taint your innocent soul. You seek a future that does not exist. Let thy fingers hold the fragile line between dream and nightmare. Let thy light navigate the path. Shall thee give in and falter, O' land of old, envelop his body in thy unending flame of chaos. Spit out nothing but an empty husk, the remnants of a smile once so bright. Shall thee prevail, O', Great Kazdel, I ask of you, the impossible - take mercy on the innocent. Don't let the radiance dim and don't let the mind turn bleak. Wake, young traveler. Bid thy farewells and burn thy bridges. It's time to say goodbye, curly head. Cross post from AO3. For a shorter and more on-point description, look no further! I had something silly written up before throwing it out in exchange for that wall of text upstairs. It's a little story "about a young, dumb sankta who's been dealt a bad hand at life, looking for his place in all this mess. The pointless search for a better future leads him far, far away from home, to a country forever ravaged by war and misery - Kazdel, the promised land where devils roam free and peace feels out of place." Anyway, it's quite lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable? Slide a comment if you want, I'll give you a tiny kiss on the forehead. Man, do I love comments. (Lastly, to point out, English is not my native language, but I don't think it'll be much of an issue ;3)Complete
The Fatal Assignment
In a world where the line between right and wrong is almost impossible to see, a secret government program assigns assassins known as "the Blades." Each Blade is assigned a target, called a "Point," and they have exactly three days to eliminate them. If they fail, the consequences are brutal. Tasked with eliminating their target within a perilous three-day window, the Blades face the dire consequence of failure: either the Point is given the ultimate right to revenge, or the ruthless government steps in to execute the assassin for non-completion. With a thrill-inducing countdown ticking away, every mission becomes a high-stakes battle where only one person can survive. But not everything is as clear-cut as it seems. Some Blades start to question their orders. As the oppressive pressure mounts, ethical dilemmas and surprising connections unfold, forcing assassins to confront their own humanity. Loyalties fracture, secrets unravel. As the clock counts down, the Blades face impossible decisions. Should they blindly follow orders, or risk their own lives to do what's right? In a system designed to break them, they'll have to figure out where they stand before time runs out. In "The Fatal Assignment," A twisted game where survival is the only prize. Chosen from the forgotten corners of society - the desperate, the skilled, the expendable - they were given a target, a weapon, and a countdown clock. Failure meant death. Simple, brutal, and terrifyingly effective.

Sadly, someone was livid that the man he loved was being forced to marry another who he thought was 'weak'. In the end, Jia Yi was murdered inside of his Workstation while he attempted to recode a software that could've made fighting the Aliens easier. When Jia Yi opens his eyes there's a man discussing with him how much of a waste it would be for him to die; next thing he knows he's World Hopping. I must make everyone happy? How do I accomplish that? You want me to make that vindictive backstabber happy? Dream on. Wait, why are these two incessentally bothering me? I'm obligated to bring happiness to everyone but I won't sacrifice my body to fulfill that!Complete

The Progenitors
Hello Wattpad community! This is my first novel here, and I can't wait to get started! Welcome to NaNo land! The land filled with hundreds of thousands of would-be writers insane enough to write a book in a month, but capable enough to make that happen! ^^ 50,000 words, here I come! __________________________________________________ Hallen Forist lives in a world without rules. A world where you're just as likely to be thanked for murder as you are to be killed for it. Where raiding is customary and death is rampant. A world of anarchy. There are no law-breakers, because there are no laws. It takes all of your energy just to survive in this world, and the fact that Hallen has lived to the age of 18 is proof of his admirable survival skills. But Hallen dreams of a world of reason. A world of laws. What starts as a tirade against the circumstances of Rhal becomes an ideal, and that ideal takes on a life of it's own. Ideas are just like wildfire - they can be started on a whim, but once started impossible to put out. Can Hallen stop this change, or should this change be stopped? Hallen may be the progenitor of a new age - but is this an age worth living in?Complete
Auras

After Vykens, mutated and soulless vampires killed my parents, I know they will come for me next. As an Aura, I can manipulate the light within me, the same ancient light Vykens feed on. It's supposed to be a sacred power, one used only for good and to help others. But if I want to survive, I'll have to defy the Auran Council and learn to use my rare ability as a weapon. Now I'm caught in something even bigger than I can understand, with a power I can't wield, and no one I can trust, except, just maybe, a mysterious stranger who's captured my heart, making him the biggest danger of all.Complete
