Coin Gambit (LOTM)
(BASED IN THE WORLD OF LORD OF THE MYSTERIES) Andrei Hayes's life was a different kind of hell-a slow grind of debt and disappointment. When he shatters a shop window to steal a strange, spiral-marked coin, he doesn't expect it to be a one-way ticket to a new one. He awakens in the body of Lutz Fischer, a cunning street swindler who just hanged himself over a debt he couldn't pay. Now, Andrei is indentured to the Harbor Vipers, a brutal gang led by a Beyonder who sees him as a disposable tool. To survive, he must embrace the role of a Marauder, using a thief's instincts and a scholar's mind to navigate a world of brutal Beyonders and cosmic horrors. But his goal isn't just to pay off the debt. It's to steal everything from the gang that owns him: their secrets, their riches, and ultimately, his freedom. In a harbor city steeped in corruption, a single clever man is about to upset the balance of power.

Beneath the roots lies a realm unspoken, where shadows breathe and rivers run black. A single step too far unravels the veil between worlds, turning play into curse, and innocence into exile. Beyond the roots, the air itself conspires, forests whisper of forgotten kings, and demons walk as both beasts and men. Yet above that abyss rises a kingdom of warmth, a fragile jewel cradled in sunlight. Its streets awaken each dawn in a riot of color: banners ripple, stalls spill with fruit and cloth, and fountains laugh with crystal spray. Children dart through blooming gardens, their laughter ringing louder than bells, while elders sit beneath arching roots, telling stories of brighter days. Here, joy is stitched into life itself. The baker greets with sugared bread, the blacksmith's hammer sings with the town musicians, and couples dance when lanterns glow like fallen stars. Festivals turn nights into oceans of song, where drums thunder and torches paint the sky in fire and gold. In this place, hope does not hide-it parades, it feasts, it laughs. The people call their home a sanctuary, untouched by sorrow, where each day begins with promise and ends in peace. To live here is to believe, if only for a moment, that darkness is nothing more than a distant dream. But beneath their feet, the roots stretch into silence. For every blossom hides its shadow, and every feast masks a silence that waits. The kingdom may be a cradle of joy, but its foundation drinks from the same soil where nightmares stir. Here, survival is no gift. Every choice is a bargain, every path a trial. What seems human may wear another face, and what seems monstrous may hold a broken heart. Secrets buried for centuries stir in the soil, twisting destiny tighter with every breath. This is not a tale of crowns or kingdoms, but of a world where light is fragile, where hope withers, and where even the roots that bind the earth tremble before what waits below.![For All Those Sleeping [Editing]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/8162588-256-k313482.jpg)
For All Those Sleeping [Editing]
Everyone’s hands are stained with blood. You can use the most basic of soap, but the burn will not pick up the red that is permanently tattooed on your skin. Friendly smiles bear daggers instead of teeth; they’re able to blind you when the light touches the carefully shined metal. Who is to trust in this world? For as long as Leo Caché could remember, Thieves have been the scum of the five races. They cannot be trusted, and it would be suicide if one attempted to. Everyone - even Thieves like himself - have long since accepted this fact. All but one man: Cedric. He creates a machine that extracts the DNA of a person, leaving him as a “human” instead of his former race. As much as he would enjoy denying it, Leo finds himself in the spot of the “good guy”. He reunites with everyone he abandoned in the past, but is his own good strong enough to overcome the evil of a powerful Thief? To prove that all Thieves aren’t ruthless, Leo needs you to put all your trust in him. So follow his lead, he’ll keep you covered. [ ©2014 Ppcorn100 .
