John Doe has spent his entire life dividing himself between who he is now and who he just was. Compartmentalize the grief, the trauma, the pain, and let it be someone else's problem in your head. You're not a new person now, of course, that couldn't possibly happen for you. Just shove it all aside and leave it alone, no matter how it might scar you on the inside. It must become part of the abstract, the nameless, thoughtless way of who you really are.

You've buried a lot down there, John. Something's gotta give. Or do you not want to be John Doe for real, without hesitation, without remorse, without question?

A Darkness Within | UnOrdinary by JDCreates
40 parts Complete Mature
A young man with a mystery had been enrolled in a top school. After a life full of pain, and darkness held deeper down, he would have to come to terms with the monster he was. He had pushed through it all, but instead of leaving his demons behind, he only drowned himself with them in the end. Almost as if a water balloon was being filled, he let everything pile up. It was only a matter of time till he couldn't hold anymore, and popped. He would be tested, to see whether he would surpass his darkness and rise to rule with the others. Or left for dead, unable to control himself to the point of self-destruction. All he needed was a supporting hand, or so he thought, but when that hand came to him, he ended up rejecting it unwillingly. Pushing himself darker as his past consumes him once again. Can he finally break his own mold? Can he break the molds of others for the better? Could he possibly change the world around him once and for all? Or will history repeat itself as he drags down everyone with him once again... A lost mind in a powerful body, with a dark background, a short fuse, and a deep secret. With a heart of black and a brain of gold. As you read, you will learn about the world around him, what makes him so special, and will find out how he may have A Darkness Within... Warnings: - Vulgar language - Violence - Abuse - Sexual Themes (No Smut) - Personality Disorder (Disclaimer I dealt with a split personality and schizophrenia after traumatic events so some of this comes from experience) Note- I do NOT own UnOrdinary or any of its characters. All rights go to Uru-chan who writes and publishes the comic and webtoon. I only own a few added characters, and parts of the plot for this piece that does not mirror UnOrdinary.

John had sacrificed everything to be able to stand on that podium above the people who used to bite and chase him - to have people bow down at his feet and willingly do his every bidding. He had to sacrifice his sanity, his life, and his soulmate, only to become further lost among the crowd where he had always stood alone... except when he had her. The hole he dug is deep; the only way out being up; but his broken shovel isn't able to carry out the dreaded task of fixing his mistakes when the pile of dirt has always sat out of his reach. So he's gone now. John left with the wind and into the murky depths of Wellston's fastest river - famed for the ending of lonely souls. Into the white water he fell; into the stone and the grime and the fish. In he went... and out came Alden. .................................................................... 1500+ word chapters [Suicide warning] [Mature language] 𝚃𝚒𝚖𝚎𝚏𝚛𝚊𝚖𝚎: 𝟷𝟹/𝟶𝟼/𝟸𝟶 - A little bit of plot, inspired by: @RainielCatapang7's 'The Death of Joker' (It's really good and if you want to find it easily, it's in my reading list) -- #1 on Jeraphina!! --

19 parts Ongoing

John and Seraphina are inseparable, and this is believed to be fact. But Arlo believed otherwise. With the hierarchy in mind, he seeks to put the ace back in her place through more nefarious means. To him, this is his calling - to assemble a perfect order of high tiers. The way it should be. What is a place without its structure? However, as it turns out, cleaving apart the inseparable yields explosive consequences. The hierarchy is trivialized as new faces and enemies emerge from impossible angles. Friendships grow, break, and everything in between as the fallout of Arlo's meddling achieves a true toll, leaving John and Seraphina ever stranded to follow a different path in an unforgiving place. Will they find each other again or will one overstep prove to be the demise of many?
