"More evil gets done in the name of righteousness than any other way."
-Glen Cook
***
The doves are the symbol of peace and love, as the representative of this very same species, the seven doves are expected to protect that very peace, which was given to them by the gods.
Myra Windsor was certain she would never have to be concerned about saving the world from any kind of trouble the order of the Seven could be brought, yet the deities of her world weren't just generous and powerful beings, they could also be themselves to be cruel.
Dragged down to this inferno of war and disasters, Myra has no choice but to reluctantly work with her teammates lest humanity reach their demise...

The Peacekeepers: Secret War
Christian theologian and philosopher Augustine of Hippo once said, "The purpose of all war is peace". In the world we live in today, this saying is one much too true. The Great War, the Second World War, the Vietnam War... these are all examples of such a catastrophe. Which ever one is made topic for discussion, the results are still the same - millions dead, and if not, suffering the aftermath. Despite all this, the sacrifices weren't in vain, as the necessary peace was kept. However, a war rages on, and this time, it could end the world. Two secret organizations, the Peacekeepers, who makes it its mission to protect the world, and the Southpaw, who's bent on destroying it. Hiroyuki Watanabe, a fellow Peacekeeper, is part of this war. A soldier, one too young. Along with his team of brave souls, the boy endeavors to end this secret war, before it ends humanity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's Note: This was and still is my very first story. To elaborate even further, it was also my first time writing anything at all. My original intentions were to test the waters and see how it appeals to any and every reader that comes across it. So having mentioned that, it might not even count as a 'story', it more or less can be looked at as a 'prototype' of one. For any factual inaccuracies or misrepresentation of real-world concepts and ideas, those are on me, and I apologize if ever. I myself am still learning and trying to get the hang of things. On the other hand. This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.Complete
A Crow, a Raven, and a Magpie
"How much they loved each other, these three" When a girl is given the opportunity to live what seemed to be a normal life, she takes a leap of faith and not soon after, things begin to crumble to pieces around her. She was unknown to dangerous things that lived in the room next to hers, and paid the price for it with the cost of lives that meant the world to her. She deserves an explanation for this, right? Mentions and depictions of unsavory things such as: -Drug & Alcohol use -Mild Romance & Sexual Themes -Abuse -Murder -Gore -Eating Disorders -Self-Harm Updates won't be consistent, there's no schedule for when I'll upload, and chapter lengths will vary :) I don't own the cover image, all credit goes to that person. I found the image on Pinterest.
Evil
I go by Artemis Blythe. I'm an ex-soldier turned murderer. I was charged with thirty murders and was subsequently sentenced to death. Preceding my execution, in a twist of fate, I was reborn in a child's body in a dog eat dog world ruled by two factions: Righteous and Demonic. I had two abilities in my arsenal: One let me cheat death, the other strengthened me the more I killed. I had two goals: One was to destroy the Righteous faction in its entirety, the second was to enjoy the hunt. I was named after the Goddess of the Hunt after all. Now that I was in a world where murder was validated and not outlawed, it would surely be nothing less than good time. No kindness. No selflessness. No altruism. Just acting on self-interest. There wasn't a single good bone in my body. Only pure, condensed, unadulterated evil.Complete

Though taller and broader, Ominis is trapped in his trauma, especially as he struggles to find where to go after Hogwarts. Family, Friendship, Love, and Lies lead us into the tale of Whenever, Wherever. Warnings/Disclaimers: Usage of MC and Y/N as separate entities (I recommend the extension 'InteractiveFics' to replace the name with your own), Mature content, Smut, Mention of Death, Suicidal Ideation, and Abuse.

I Was Born Free
Terrible things happen to good people. Such is the world we live in. It doesn't matter who or what you are, sometimes there's no avoiding despair. There are those who lose loved ones, and can't cope with the pain. Those who are cast out by society, just for being themselves. Those who would do anything for the people they care about...even kill. We always question the things that happen to us, and wonder why we were unlucky enough to have it transpire. Maybe there is an all powerful force, with a plan, and a reason for these horrible events. Or maybe there is isn't, and we humans are all we have. The world is very cruel..but it can also be..quite beautiful.Complete
☆~ HELLBOUND ~☆
"You will do something extraordinary - You will save humanity." ~☆ When the land was barren and empty, 4 deities known as the Divines ruled the earth. Healing, tranquillity, strength, and justice. And though they ruled with prosperity and protection, humans soon discovered they had free will, and their greed grew heavy. And so, the Divines were slaughtered and hunted for their power. The greed of the humans disgusted the Incubator, the creator of everything. So, they created a new being to take over, freedom. He revived the Divines and granted a new era of peace and prosperity upon the land. But every good thing has its evil, chaos. The Incubator made sure it couldn't do anything to their creations, so they sent it to an eternal prison where it could do no harm to humanity. And now, every few years, the Incubator selects a human to prove humanities worth to venture into the earth's core and eliminate the Harbinger of Chaos from all of its evil. Yet, the chosen ones failed. Until now. Their names are Mark and Bob.
Playing With Knives- LoZ
dont read this one either Warning: this has like all the angst imaginable dude. i dont even remember all of it. here some of the big ones tho: suicides (plural), self harm, self hate and deprecation, depression, etc. all badly handled/written This place is a message... and part of a system of messages... pay attention to it! Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture. This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here. What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger. The danger is in a particular location... it increases towards a center... the center of danger is here... of a particular size and shape, and below us. The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours. The danger is to the body, and it can kill. The form of the danger is an emanation of energy. The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.Complete
I am Theirs
Dove Quinn is a orphan sweet innocent girl who was everything they weren't. A porcelain doll with blue eyes and a heart too pure for the world she was about to be dragged into, she still believed in love stories, unaware that hers had already been written in blood and obsession. They'd been watching her for a year. Three shadows lurking in the silence. The Santoro triplets- Blaze, Cain and Silas. A Mafia royalty. Billionaire tyrants who ruled the underworld with cold hands and colder hearts. No one crossed them. No one questioned them. And no one, ever, touched what belonged to them. And Dove? She was theirs. Always had been. She just didn't know it yet. For a year, they watched her innocence bloom, tracked her every dimpled smile, every routine, every friend she barely had. They stalked, waited, and were obsessed and waited till she turned eighteen then they took her.... In their world, love came in chains and kisses tasted like control. They didn't want her fear, they wanted her surrender. Slowly. Completely. And they would have it. Because Dove was the only soft thing they'd ever touch without breaking. But that didn't mean they wouldn't bend her. Over and over again. Until her innocence wore their names.
Galekin
They fear us because we are different. They fear us because we have special powers, because the goddess gave us gifts. The goddess gave us these powers to protect the non-gifted. They don't care about that. They fear us because they think we will hurt them. They believe we are power hungry, the irony. They have hunted us for centuries now. Killing us because they are afraid. We just want to live out lives in peace. Why must there be a fear for people who are different? Why must there be such hate for people who just want to live their lives? My name is Lydia Martin. I fight for my freedom. This is my story. The story of how I fell in love with my target. The story of how I fell in love with the one man I wasn't supposed to fall in love with.Complete
