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.

SCIENCE-FANTASY/ ROMANCE The new kid had an aura that set him apart from everyone Joe had ever encountered. It was as if he were a puzzle piece that didn't quite fit, yet he seemed passionately determined to carve out his place in the crowd. With his brightly colored hair that swayed in defiance of the usual norms and an eclectic wardrobe that screamed individuality, he was a walking canvas of rebellion and creativity. Joe couldn't shake his curiosity about this enigmatic newcomer. What was it about this fresh face that captivated him so deeply? Was it merely the striking exterior, or was there a richer story woven beneath that vibrant surface? As he observed the subtle nuances in the new kid's expressions and gestures, Joe found himself pondering the layers of identity, searching for the truths hidden just beyond the façade. It ignited a flicker of fascination within him-one that begged to be explored. An otherworldly boyxboy tale...

Secrets and Things (MxM) by Trafina_
98 parts Complete
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?

New school. New home. New Life. New bullies. Daniel didn't ask for any of it. Yet here he is. Life still sucks. And he's had just about enough of it. However, the biggest challenge is yet to come. Afterall, has his shadow been moving on its own? Or is it just his imagination. Follow the story of 14-year-old Daniel as he learns how to get through life. How to grow up. And how to love in multiple ways. Opening his heart and mind to the world and people around him. Rated mature for: Swearing Mature concepts Violence This book is dedicated to everyone who inspired me, encouraged me and stuck by me while I debated giving up on the concept for this book altogether. You all know who you are... I wanted to tell a story that breaks the norm to some aspect. Where the main character is a boy, not a girl. Where he is not perfect. And where he is even a - not bad - but does bad things sometimes. It's a story of coming into yourself and forging your own path. Despite how hard that path can be to walk. Choices you face, how you'll react to them. What to do when you've done something bad and how you can fix it. If you should fix it. Each choice you make - weather you realize it or not - forges the person you are. For every door you close another one is waiting to be opened. This is not a perfect story, but it's one I want to tell. One that comes from a personal place in my heart and one that is born in reality and bathed in fantasy. This story will deal with aspects of both worlds. And sometimes touch on heavier topics. Be prepared, to read about a character who is the farthest thing from perfect. But he doesn't need to be. He just needs to be himself. Oh, how hard that truly is.
