Working as a mercenary for the Sheer was bound to involve some sticky situations. What Dyasen didn't expect was to end up with a childish and very persistent voice stuck in his head... one who can hear every thought he makes and never shuts up about it.

As it turns out, maybe their meeting was more than just bad luck. Maybe, that voice is the gateway to unveiling a plot that has eaten away at the Empire for nearly six years.

With the help of a naïve but eager girl, a cold-hearted bodyguard, and a reluctant assassin, Dyasen will trace the clues toward the true threat, hoping to secure the safety of the Empire and its people.

But their differences only get starker when they discover each other's lies.

After all, the world only gets darker when one is given eyes.

Meet Nerovsky (Nero) Poston. He started working at MegCorp, a multi-alotofmoney dollar company. All he wants: live a low-key, simple life. But he can't because one, he has too many secrets that mess with his personal life, including his secret double life as a "justice" vigilante. Secondly, he somehow managed to get deeply entangled with his boss and finds himself falling for him, a person he feels he doesn't deserve Meet Leonardo Covell. He is the owner of MegCorp and the owner of a lot of money. His life is relatively smooth sailing (eg. people constantly sucking up to him), which is an absolute bore. However, after a couple of unexpected meetings with a certain newbie, he finds himself wanting to unravel the mystery. Speaking of mystery, a certain midnight hero with a familiar aura has also caught his attention... - Meet Aiden Hendrix, Nero's best friend and partner in crime. He's a tech genius who's a decent-looking, playful social butterfly. But sometimes, it's all a mere facade to hide his own secrets and issues. However, after butting heads with a certain CEO, he finds his mask breaking and unintentionally revealing a side that he never wanted to shed light on for anyone. Meet Erwin Fonzo, best friend of Leo and CEO of Nic and Co. He's a pro at faking his emotion and does so in order to make interactions less troublesome. He's considered cold due to his refusal of keeping people closer than an arm's length, but after a blue-haired man argues his way into his life, his arm's length shortens slowly as he unravels more about the man, including seeing a side of his that no one was ever meant to see. - A stereotypical romantic trope. Story's based around two couples. VERY slow burn. - DISCLAIMER: A LOT of swearing, mentions of sexual harassment (not explicit), panic attacks, mature jokes? Therefore, 16+ only kiddos The beginning is a bit trash and slow but it gets better?

WATTYS 2024 SHORTLIST In a world of magic and mayhem, where ferrets fly and trees talk, three unlikely heroes find their fates entangled with a deadly mystery. ***** Tallon is a scoundrel-an elf/human hybrid ranger who leaves a trail of chaos in his wake. With only his wingerret as his companion, Tallon travels the realms at his leisure while living life on a whim with no concept of consequences. Ben is a natural-born thief with more magical talent than the typical human. He lives and works in a rundown inn owned by the man who raised him and dreams of adventure while doing his best to avoid serious trouble. When Lord Colbert of Sagehand sends his wayward son to Ballsdeep on a trade and reconnaissance mission, Tallon is miserable. The backwater town is located in a remote section of the world in the seediest of bad locales, and no one wants him there. But when a dangerous, illegal crate falls into the bay and interrupts a heist, a deadly and wide-ranging conspiracy is uncovered. As Tallon and Ben cross paths, they are forced to work together if they wish to safely escape Ballsdeep while investigating the clandestine operations behind the evil Coconut Conglomerate. During their travels, they gain allies and enemies while fighting their initial attraction and learning to trust one another in this epic fantasy adventure. ** Cover by @Kaiddance using Canva Pro
