My name is Ryan Lions.
I'm twenty four. I served four years in the US Coast Guard and was, up to recently, a college student at an advanced Technology college. I also worked nights as a security guard at one of the campus buildings. College is expensive. Not important. What is you ask?
I've been infected with advanced nanites by one of the Professors and pushed into a portal to a world I was told was uninhabited. It wasn't, not the slightest. I feel like I'm stuck in some weird fantasy novel with all the wizards and elves. Orcs too, lets not forget them.
Thing is, magic is a real thing here but only a few have it. I'm trying to stay alive. I also try and do the right thing. Having an internal AI in your head helps, but I miss little things like bug spray and elastic underwear. Wool is itchy and the lack of a zipper just makes things awkward if you need to go to the bathroom. Oh yeah, those are not a thing here either.
Not going to complain too much though. No more taxes and student loans so there are some perks. If you are reading this, that means my AI has successfully managed to send data back to our world, Earth. He says it is pieced together from the ones he's managed to infect or connect to.
I will just imagine you are reading this and my life hadn't been written off and people will know what happened to me. Anyway, try not to judge me too harshly. I've been forced to kill people. Self-defense for the most part. A mercy killing once, and... well, just read my story. Maybe you'll understand.

The Space Between Us
He's bred to be the perfect human. Cunning, alert, strong. She's natural, soft, forgotten along with the rest of humanity. But when these two worlds collide, destroying everything they thought they knew about each others race- there's a shift. His behaviours change, he's intrigued, addicted. She's afraid, but undeniably drawn to him. Can two people so different love each other even when their worlds tell them not to? ________ "My brother knows." I blurted. His usually composed expression broke, showing a slight amount of panic I would've expected to see from one of us ground dwellers. "What?" "He figured out I must've been seeing someone in secret, and I slipped up... he knows you're from the sky, he knows I see you often to talk, he knows I helped you." I admitted, shame flowing through me. He took a deep breath and glanced towards the house behind me. "And what did he say?" I did the same, letting air fill my lungs entirely until I was ready to admit it. "He said that because you saved my life... he wouldn't mention it to anybody else. But that I'm not to see you anymore a-and," He watched me so intensely, like his whole identity revolved around this moment. "...And?" "And that I am to marry William r-right away." I stuttered over the truth knowing it was impossibly hard for both of us to accept. Adrian only stared back, sadness washing over his eyes like a fog, some of the purest emotion I've ever seen from him. "Do you... want to marry him?" This time I paused. I didn't want to, no. But how would telling him that help us in any way? "He- he's strong," I defended William in an effort to stop this conversation from going any further. But Adrian's brow creased. "I'm stronger." I was taken aback at how quickly he defended himself, but the thing is he isn't wrong. He is stronger.Complete
The Revelation
In the beginning, there was death. The darkness flows from hues of purple and orange, the moon rising to kiss the sun's rays one last time as the darkest cloud of night I've ever seen falls over our tiny haven. I catch Will's face from the side of my vision and my heart tightens slightly. The tick of his jaw wouldn't be noticeable for anyone but me. His best friend, his lifeline. A solemn tear forms in my eye as he wipes his face, another tear falling for the family he lost. I love him. Utterly and desperately so, but, there's nothing I can do about that. The ultimate forbidden fruit, if you will. I reach to comfort him and he doesn't respond. I open my mouth to speak and he looks my way, but the gleam in his dark brown eyes hits the moonlight just right and I fall. My voice escapes my throat and I can't do it. I've tried for years to tell him. 10 years, actually. All this time, I hopelessly remained devoted to a ghost who had given the best of himself to a fiery red-head with a sassy personality and the body of a supermodel. For 10 years, I held to the desperate thought that maybe, just maybe, he'd be someone I could count on. Instead, I watched him marry my best friend, smiled as they welcomed their son. Stood, holding that beautiful boy as his mother was in the first round of executions after the beginning of the Revelation. Helped heal Will's wounds in the aftermath. Cried, clutching the tear-stained shirt of my best friend as his son took his last staggering breath in that first harsh winter. The guilt of my emotions crawl through me. My heart twisting in regret, guilt, desperation, and grief. I loved my best friend. She was so much more than that; she was my family. In this dystopian quick read, join a group of people desperate to recapture their freedom and end a tyrant's reign.Complete
Before It Struck Midnight. *COMPLETE*
Before I begin, I just want to say that this story does include some mature themes. I will also give out a warning a chapter prior to these scenes. Getting that out of the way, let's go onto the story description... *This book contains explicit content* *EXTRACT FROM THE BOOK* I stared at him, cooking and whistling, something that I could not do, or should I say, wasn't bothered to do. I decided to move away and to try and find an exit but I didn't even take one step back when I heard his voice. "Princess? Is that you?" I saw him raise his head before shooting his eyes onto me. The sudden gaze caused to heart to race while it froze my body as if I have turned into ice. I felt the fear engulf my body, eating me inside out. "You aren't scared of me... Are you?" he asked me, I sensed the envy in his voice. That mixed with his harsh tone caused a wave of goosebumps to course through my body. I wanted to begin by asking him where was I? Why was I here? Why was he here... I wanted to ask him, but I couldn't, the fear was just all too much for me. "Come on... Speak to me... Ask me..." he began. "Ask me 'why am I here' and all of that crap... Entertain me with your fear." I saw him slowly gripping a knife that was on the countertop, with his eyes still on mine. The sides of his mouth slowly began tilting upwards. All the bitterness and the cold, it was all so visible in his eyes. I looked at him in horror, noticing him as he took his first steps towards me. "Talk to me... Because this might be the only time you will ever be able to talk, " he said this sentence in such a calm tone, it caused me once again to shiver with goosebumps. "W-what do you mean...". Never in my life have I stuttered, until then.Complete
Run Away
I never thought he would do this. What happened to him? Goddammit, this is bullshit. I was stalked by my own best friend! This is a nightmare, even worse than nightmare. I'm so fucking stressed! "Surprise, babe!" he evil-smiled. "Tell me why are you doing this to me?!" I asked. "I see the future. Your future. I see you dating that dickhead. I tried to stop you but I have to act normal so you won't find out that I'm the creepy stranger you talked about and you won't know that I like you, my plan was a little bit messed up since you dated him. I failed to stop you. But now that I have both of you here, I can kill you easily," he explained. Did he just said "both of you"? Does that mean he kidnapped Austin? He's so messed up. I hate him. We've been best friends for 5 fucking years and now he's doing this to me? I swear he's mentally ill now. Ugh. "What do you mean both of us?" I asked. "Oh Claire, why don't you understand it? Didn't you saw anyone at the library? The place where Austin asked you to be his girlfriend?" he said. "No, I didn't go there," I said. "Well, let's take a look now, shall we?" he evil-smiled. ******** Hi guys, so this is my first story here. I don't think I'm a good writer so I apologize if this story doesn't make any sense or sounds really weird. At least I tried.Complete

A jealous snarl ripped from Anthony's chest. Did he just growl? What the hell's going on here?! Luca leaned closer to me, ignoring Anthony. "I'm not good with words like these. But you know that, Mavis." He smiled gently while his eyes filled with an emotion - love?- that caused butterflies in my stomach. A warm feeling surrounded my heart. Did it just speed up? "So, this is the only way I can describe it." He suddenly leaned his head down and captured my lips in a long kiss. It was gentle, yet harsh. He claimed my lips as his own, taking complete control.

Drake's Kitten (completed)
He once told me no one knows the real him.I didn't think he meant it, and not in a good way. He is a straight A student, and everyone knows it, not to mention he is on the swim team. All that though isn't the real him, the real him hides deep within himself. ---------- "Can you please tell me what that was?" I nearly shout at him. All I get is silence. He keeps his back to me. "Please, I need some explanation." I beg. I stay still as he stops dead in his tracks. His body is tense and it's scarring me. He turns around slowly to face me with his hands at his sides. His eyes meet mine, but there is no spark of any emotion in them. They are cold and dark making me look away not being able to hold his deadly stare. I feel uneasy under his gaze, and i feel his eyes burning a hole in the side of my face. "No, I won't explain because it's not important." He says in a low, almost, growl. I flinch and look back into his eyes. I feel hurt by his words and I don't know why, but I know he sees it in my eyes. His faces flashes with regret but it's quickly covered up with his faces going back to it's hard cold look. I feel my heart stop and my face go pale. His look terrified me making me hold my breath. "Breath." He orders. I start to breathe again and just blink at him. "Now go." He orders me again. I flinch involuntarily at his tone and jump back slightly. "Please don't let me walk home alone." I beg in a quiet voice, looking down at my feet. The next thing I see are his black combat boots right in front of my shoes. I look up into his eyes and he looks down into mine confusion written all over his face. "How come you aren't running yet?" He questions searching my eyes. "I just can't walk home alone, please I'm scared." I hear him chuckle. "You aren't afraid of me? What can possibly be scarier than me?" He asks. "Well, I know you will keep me safe." "Why is that?" He questions raising an eyebrow at me. "You haven't hurt me." "Yet." He mutters, but I roll my eyes.Complete

What did I get myself into by being born???Complete
I, the Dragon. What to do now?
Publied also on RR I wake up with a Dragon body! My children and wife are still sleeping.What to do? I am not human anymore. Where to go? What to do. Oh no, my size is increasing and I have to flee or the house will collapse. I am hunted, captured and tortured. I am a Leviathan and the BEAST in religion. Will my soul collapse or resist? I'll fight for my freedom, finding refuge and find new friends and make a new family. How will my family react with new members? Oh I have changed gender unwillingly because I have a species to rebuild. Ah yes there is no Pokémon I think? Monstrotanks what is that? Brotherhood? Don't know ! Battles? I hate wars! Please let me alone! I've done nothing! It's not me who has charred a town! My name is Daathrr, not sister Noah of the Arch! No, Mr. Freeman is not my cousin and I don't work at Black Mesa. and I don't have a middle age castle I repeat LET ME SLEEP ALONE IN MY HANGAR.!!! I keep a strict point of view POV from a Dragon facing modern technology, searching for a place to live in our modern days. It depicts also our society who is not so different from middle age in terms of mentality. Racism is one thing, but interspecies is worse as they have no human rights at all. What to do when you lost humanity? The dragon personality is eating the human side. Dragon Psychology The language used is simplistic, robotic with repetitions but don't be angry on me, I am not an author and I speak French. Don't hesitate to comment or ask me for explanations or look on google. I try to be as much clear for the profane. Also, don't use the incantations in the story, I deny all responsibilities if scales are growing on you! I don't own all pictures so If there is a problem, I'll replace them.Complete
