A hundred years after the revolution, the world prospers in large part due to the growing leader in technology: SoulTech. Along with their breakthroughs in science, they spread their vision of comfort and bliss across the globe, affecting human culture in the process. In short, mankind took on the motto: do what makes you happy. 

But the things that make us feel good in the moment aren't always what make us happy. In the pursuit of cheap thrills, we often lose ourselves. Because when the good things don't last, you have to ask yourself: was the chase worth it?

For Zane Harrison, the answer is no.
After living a life surrounded by everything he could have ever wanted, Zane no longer has any interest in the things he's indulged himself in day by day. Whether it was drugs, sex, or even simple conversation, it was hard for him to find any lasting sense of joy in any of it. With such an overwhelming sense of apathy, he can't help but feel that there may be an external force to blame. Perhaps it was something to do with the people who robbed him of everything, yet gave him back everything at the same time.
He feels helpless, until one day, he runs into someone like him. Not only do they share the same dullness in their eyes, but their lives were forever changed by the same company: SoulTech. Even though she's their property, he can't just ignore her.

Find out how, or if, these two overcome their dilemma in their chase for the soul: OVERLOAD.

Godlsayers - Pilot (Episode 1) by DavidGoller
4 parts Complete
Godslayers is about correcting a mistake. A mistake made by three kid geniuses who inherited a Corporate Technology Empire. They attempt to utilize Dark Tech to change the world with a new generation of technologies. Most important of all this new tech was a clean, efficient and totally renewable source of energy given freely to the world, an attempt to usher Earth into a golden age. They never asked their selves if the world was ready. Battle after battle that claimed nations, oceans and a third of the world's population within one year. By the second year, only three factions remained, political amalgams of financial, military and technological interests. High casualty and destructive rates refined combat, and Dark Tech's emerging technologies- unbridled by energy restrictions- were corrupted into a new version of warfare. The BADB Frames took over the battlefield. Exoskeletal marvels- walking tanks. These suits made the soldiers of the future nearly invincible, while giving them destructive abilities of such raw power and precision that conflict was forever altered. The pilots of these suits were almost all pulled from a previously untapped civilian resource: gamers. Suddenly, age was not a restriction. What's left of Dark Tech exists in three Neutral Zones spread throughout the globe. Three "war free" zones that house civilians who wish to remain outside the war. But a shadow beneath what's left of the world's political system upsets this balance and a secret group known only as The Keepers push the factions past their fear of Dark Tech and into the zones of neutrality. Dark Tech unleashes a new faction on the world- a fighting force that has taken high technology and martial skill to a new level. A group of warrior monk gamers that once again change the face of battle and square off against the faction's armies single-handedly.

Soulmates. The most talked about topic in the world. You can use a special pen to write on your arm. Whatever you write will appear on them. The ink is invisible to everyone, which makes it even harder to find your soulmate. The pen can change colours when the person writing is feeling a different emotion. Most colours have multiple meanings. The shade of the colour depends on how strong or light the emotion is, for example, if your soulmate is extremely angry, the writing will be dark red, when their slightly irritated, the writing would be a light/pastel red. You cannot write certain details to your soulmate, like your name, country, address, school, on your body. You CAN however, give them a nickname that only they can use. You may be wondering, how do you find your soulmate? Well, it's very luck based. You'll feel unnaturally drawn to the person. To finally find out if you're soulmates or not, you'll have to kiss. Once you kiss them, a beautiful bright light surrounds the both of you, binding your souls together for eternity. Kirishima is a bright and bubbly person who is rarely upset. When he IS upset, he doesn't write to his soulmate. Due to his... rough childhood, he never really wrote to his soulmate until the end of middle school. He constantly doodles on his skin but quickly wipes it away even though the ink is invisible and only he can see it. His soulmate, on the other hand, is a handful. Bakugou constantly writes to his soulmate about his problems. When he was a kid, he thought he didn't have a soulmate due to everyone else in his class talking to them as soon as they could write but his would never answer. Once his soulmate finally wrote to him for the first time, he was overly excited, though he wouldn't admit it out loud. He is usually angry so his writing is usually red but his soulmate doesn't mind. THIS IS A NO QUIRK AU AS WELL AS A SOULMATE AU!!! ARTWORK ISNT MINE!!!!!

This is a Zane~Chan story, based off of the OTP prompt where, if you draw on your skin, it will appear on your soulmate's and vice versa. It's also a high school AU, but not much of one. Now: here's real description: Zane was the outcast of his freshman class, always scowling at his peers and keeping in the shadows. When he was younger, his soulmate took a while to draw anything, which caused him to be made fun of by his peers. So, when the markings finally came, he kept them covered, not wanting to look like a fool. Kawaii~Chan was the new girl at Phoenix Drop High. She looked to have a lot of soulmates, many drawings across her body. However, it was all fake. They were all made by her. Ever since she was little, she had begun drawing on herself late, her soulmate had never responded. She tried so many things, even drawing on her face to get their attention, but they never responded, so she just drew on herself in the morning, to give up the act that she had one. What will happen when the two meet and can't stay away from each other, no matter how much Zane wants them to be apart? Read more to find out. WARNING: This story contains abuse and talk about self esteem issues. If you are sensitive to this type of thing, please do not read, as it goes into some heavy stuff after a few chapters. Also, none of the characters are mine, they all belong to Aphmau and her amazing team. The art for the cover isn't mine either, all rights go to the artist.
