--Author's note--
Hello readers.
If anything seems off, bare with me, English is not my first language. This is just a passion project, so don't judge it too harshly.
Narration is in the second person, as this spawned from me playing around with AI Dungeon. The protagonist is gender neutral, so feel free to envision them however you want!
Inspired a little by Grim Quest and Welcome to Night Vale.
Goodbye readers. Hope you enjoy it.

Once in a Lifetime {BxB English}
IMPORTANT: Once in a Lifetime: Part 1 is now officially published on Amazon! Please read the "READ THIS FIRST" chapter for more information and future updates. They say some loves only happen once. For Ody and Mano, that once changes everything. Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen. And losing someone again isn't a risk he's willing to take. Ody is the opposite. Bright, extroverted, charming, and painfully sincere, he notices when you're hurting, even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault. For someone like Mano, that kind of softness is dangerous. When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. What starts as tension becomes something neither of them can name, and soon, something they can't stop. But between secrets, buried trauma, and a world that won't let them exist without consequences, wanting each other comes at a cost. One keeps pushing him away. The other keeps reaching past every warning sign. Together, they burn. But when everything catches fire, love may not be enough to save them.Complete

Hollow Regression
This is an OC story that takes a LOT of inspiration from plenty of other works, the biggest one I can think of right now is Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. NO this is not a spin off or Alternate universe of that story, simply me taking ideas from it and making my own story based around it. - Description - Hollow, a young man living as best as he can in the world around him is suddenly and violently ripped from his regular life. The Catastrophe, it's called, occurred spontaneously, and no one knows exactly why. What they do know, is that Earth as they know it, was almost destroyed in an instant, saved only by mysterious godly beings that appeared and fused the world with another that had almost met a similar fate. Now living in a chaotic world, Hollow and the rest of the survivors from Earth and the Otherworld must navigate through a series of seemingly endless 'Quests' to grow in strength and survive. The twist? Anamnesis, or a fancy word for Regression. Hollow received this ability by contracting with a god in the form of a sponsorship and now must figure out how to escape this chaos fueled world. How will he do it? Follow along and find out. - Mature Rating for Language Mostly-![Reap the Earth at Which you Stand [boyxboy]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/239341483-256-k857150.jpg)
Reap the Earth at Which you Stand [boyxboy]
Growing up in chaos isn't simple for all. Not many could cope. They would struggle and kick, but ultimately drown. However, for Dakota, that was his normality. Torturing. Maiming. Killing. That was his life, the life of a hunter. The Arizona line was elusive, written fame in the lore of hunters, and infamy for their prey. They were the best. No one could ever compare to their skills, their abilities, their ruthlessness. But Dakota was something else. His siblings might have learnt to enjoy the hunt, well most of them anyway, but Dakota didn't. There was always something missing for him, something he was waiting on. Silent and everlasting hope. A promise had been made to him, the day his twin brother was stolen, taken by the enemy, plucked right from the very home the Arizonas had grown up in. A promise of something better, something that he might actually want in his life. Now, almost sixteen years later, something was coming. A change was begging to be found. Maybe it would be for the best. Maybe Dakota would finally find that certain something that had been missing his whole life, something to fill the dark and fractured abyss that ached and wailed within. But nothing was ever that simple. Because, of course, the promise that had been made to Dakota would never be anything plausible for him, anything tangible to have and to hold. He had been promised a new life, by the greatest enemy of them all. It wouldn't be easy. Not with his family still clinging to his heels, the teachings of blood and violence burnt into his mind. No, leaving them behind wouldn't ever be easy. Then again, staying with them would only bring his inevitable death. Why not take the chance to die happy? After all, out of the ashes, a phoenix will rise...Complete
