"So that's it, then? All of this was a lie?"
Twelve years ago, ten children were taken from their families and hidden away in a facility known only as "The Compound." Their memories were wiped to prepare them for what lay ahead.
And then their nightmare began.
Twelve years of experiments conducted on them to test their abilities, known as "Gifts." Twelve years of suffering. Twelve years of being lost to time and being turned into a myth, a warning whispered into misbehaving young children's ears.
Not everybody forgot.
A Rebellion is on the rise, and they will not be denied any longer. They will rescue the children and overthrow the government that allowed it to happen, or die trying.
"Yeah, it was. I'm sorry, but I had no choice."

Remembrance (A RusAme Fan-Fiction)
"Understanding the mystics of this world is a truly difficult task. Isn't it? There's evil, and there's good. There's ruthlessness, and there is mercy. There is love, and then there is hate. But one fact remains, the evil were once good. The ruthless were once merciful. And the hatred was once burning passion. So what made them change? And more importantly, what even is the difference between them, if deep inside, we're all truly the same?" [!!Art in the cover belongs to me.

Illusions and Lies (A Super Smash Brothers fan fiction)
NOTICE: THIS STORY IS AN OLD DRAFT. It is currently in the process of being rewritten. For your sake (and mine) please go check out "ILLUSIONS AND LIES: REWRITE" on my profile. While I'm not stopping you from reading this- especially if you're impatient and want to know how the story goes- please do keep in mind that aspects of this story are unpolished in this book. "we thought we were special. turns out, we were wrong." A group of teenagers who live in a place known only as "The Compound" are led to believe that they are the last people on the planet, aside from their ever-present caretakers. The Caretakers study them and their abilities, never once letting them know of the thriving outside world. In the outside world, everybody has abilities, known as "Gifts." The oppressive government prevents people from using these Gifts properly. A faction of rebels is on the rise, determined to retrieve the children they lost to this cruel government and create a fairer world for all. "and we don't like being wrong..." Modern futuristic AU. This story will contain mature themes and triggering topics, such as somewhat detailed descriptions of blood and violence, suicide, depression, homophobia, child abuse, and death. I do not own the characters, but I do own the plot. Please do not steal the plot or elements of this story.Complete

Goddess of Discord
In the year 2125, truth is a variable and chaos is the only constant. A cryptic oracle-astrophysicist on the remote Eris Station has an apocalyptic vision and whispers a single word - "Sraknova" - triggering a chain reaction that threatens to rewrite reality itself. Back on Earth, washed-up journalist Orwell Matthew becomes the centerpiece of a quantum conspiracy after a routine interview with a senator ends in murder. As his world implodes, the brightest minds of a generation are hurled into the brutal selection process of the Nova Foundation. In the shadows, General MDK of GOES plays lives like poker chips while corporate directors wage a cold war for control and forbidden technology. All paths, secrets, and nightmares converge on one name: Sraknova. As sabotage and experiments escalate, time and identity begin to fracture: entangled particles defy causality, telemetry violates relativity, paranoia spreads like a virus. The Palace - part collective unconscious, part extradimensional mind-labyrinth - starts to tether fates, memories, and ruins, as every dialogue pulses with tension over free will, meaning, and cosmic absurdity. Goddess of Discord isn't your typical space opera. Fragmented, polyphonic, razor-sharp, it blends investigation, dark humor, brutal introspection, and existential warfare. Beauty is found in disorder; the true protagonist is collapse itself - scientific, social, and deeply personal. For readers who crave cerebral sci-fi, quantum weirdness, power games, and unforgettable characters unafraid of sarcasm or symbolic violence. If you enjoyed Children of Time, The Quantum Thief, Diaspora, or Dark, prepare for something stranger. In a future where truth is negotiable and the collective unconscious can be hacked, the real question isn't "who's in control?" - but "who still believes control exists?"Complete
Broken-Adopted By MatPat

EDIT: Story is done, but also know I wrote this a looong time ago. I was less knowledgable. Less... good at making plots I guess. Nonetheless, people seem to really enjoy the story, and for that I'm glad. Just know that some of the themes may not be accurately portrayed because of my own inexperience with them. And unfortunately, I don't plan on revisiting this to make it better. Anyway, please enjoy this crazy story I wrote all the way back in the early days of middle school!Complete
