In a world torn between heroes and villains, it can be a dangerous and hostile place.  Some take comfort in the Gifted that stand up against those who would use their powers for greed and chaos.  While others choose to hide away, fearful of the day when they'll become a superpowered battle's collateral damage.

Elaina Hart has a quiet life in the safe embrace of her forest home.  She lives off the land, relying on the gifts of the earth to sustain her simple, quiet existence.  Amongst the trees, where there is nothing for a villain to gain and no evil for a hero to vanquish, she is safe from the troubles of the more populated urban centers.  At least she was until two Gifted rivals take their brawl above her woods.

When one of the superpowered combatants is knocked down a little ways from her home, Elaina brings him to the safety of her cabin -- successfully inserting herself into the world of the Gifted, a world she had spent years trying to escape.

Sophie's future is planned out for her. Having just outgrown her studies and Job Placement in a few months, her path is straight and clear. But when her best friend is captured and taken over the wall that protects them from a wild, primitive people, Sophie makes the most uncharacteristic and dangerous decision of her life: follow her into the Outlands and face every fear she's ever known. Once in the Outlands, she realizes that things are not what they seem. There is a force even more sinister lurking on the outside, bigger than anyone had ever imagined. Seeking the help of seemingly one of the most savage Outlanders, with his handsome, brooding demeanor-not to mention his scary-accurate talent with a bow-they go on a mission that will challenge not just their survival, but that of the entire human race. As the two grow closer, Sophie realizes that no one is safe, and the scariest monsters are the ones inside of us. 🏆 Highest rank : #6 in ROMANCE #72 in Adventure #1 in Dystopia #1 in Science #1 in Utopia • 1st place : Adventure in The Magical Awards • 3rd place : Action/Adventure in The Rebel Wars • People's Choice Award for Adventure in The Phoenix Awards loo

What happens when all the wicked villains from your favorite childhood fairy-tale stories combine their powers to create a new world? A world where the heroes forget who they are. A world where they live as average teens, while the villains ruin their life. A world where the good doesn't always win. A world where fairy-tales no longer exist. With a single sentence, everything can change. All it takes is one single word and the villains can win the game. But no game is fun unless the opponent is playing.

I, Mick Chadwick, regret to inform my readers that this memoir contains nothing but the truth, which in the case of Tobias MacClain, most ridiculed as Pajama Boy, is far from pleasant. If you seek to relate to a hero more than to aspire to them and have the stomach for unpleasant things such as a hero left for dead, villainous scars, bomb threats, and murderous intent, then look no further. All of these gruesome things and more await from my research, and though I do not wish them on any man or woman, I cannot bear this burden on my own much longer. In the words of Tobias MacClain himself, "Sometimes, a villainous act can cause the greatest good." I hope that all my villainous acts of sneaking, blackmailing, diary-reading, and grave-digging, among others, will be redeemed as I present this complete and truthful memoir to the world, and with any luck, open eyes to the truth of what we call "villainy". Doctored Chance: The Unpleasant Preceding of "Pajama Boy" and What Drove Him to Murder ********* MATURE FILTER IS FOR: - violence - graphic imagery (blood, burns, fairly dark headspaces) - cartoon depiction of burn scars for visual aid Despite graphics, Mick Chadwick's writing keeps Mr. MacClain's terrible tale light somehow. This is foremostly a comedy. **** Also going up on Quotev and RoyalRoad 2021 ****

The Unordinary by elephant576

Six high school students looks like anyone else acts like anyone else but are capable of things no one else is. They learnt from a young age no one that means NO ONE can know about their powers even their parents and other siblings. It brings out the true friends and those who just want to use you. In the end, what do you do when your closest friend betrays you? This is the story as they try to keep their biggest darkest secret of what they are capable of and as they discover they're not the only ones like them... I am not very good at trigger warnings before individual chapters but there is mention of blood, cold abuse and parents divorcing. (But read at your own risk in case I mention something else. I am working on rewriting this story and when I do there will be the trigger warnings in the correct places.) (small teaser.) No one sees me. I am a ghost. I brush against the wooden fence. No one will believe it was me who disappeared into a fence and appeared on the other side of school. I stare at my brother. He made eye contact with me, confirming my suspicions. We both saw it. Whoever that was is like us. "Did you just see that?" I ask "You're that person my brother and I saw," He says. Oh no... Why then? "Wait! You're-" Completed just editing. (Don't be too harsh please)

**Novel Description:** In a world where heroes walk a razor-thin line between justice and brutality, *Blink* follows Benji, a 17-year-old raised in an isolated Japanese temple by a powerful but powerless blind Sensei. Benji and his fellow students possess extraordinary abilities, trained to show mercy in a world that offers none. But when a betrayal from within leads to a devastating assault on their temple by deadly assassins with terrifying powers, Benji's belief in the path of restraint is shattered. As his rage and power spiral out of control, Benji discovers a dangerous side of himself he's struggling to contain-one that threatens to consume him entirely. Grappling with the death of his mentor and the betrayal of his brother-in-arms, Benji must decide if he will continue to walk the path of mercy, or embrace the darkness and violence that calls to him. In this gritty, action-packed story, the lines between hero and villain blur, and mercy may be the most dangerous weakness of all.
