Promised a cure for her immortality, Petra joins a quirky crew without question. She should have asked questions.
15 years ago she lost half her body in a totally avoidable accident in her father's non-IKEA-standard lab. He used the tissue-fusing serum he created to save her, but it left her with major confidence issues, pesky immortality, and a body that's 40% raw meat. Some people have the worst luck.
With half a face and the body of a child zombie, she eventually runs out of options. When a profiteering scientist turns up with the serum she thought her father destroyed all those years ago, she's dragged into the middle of his villainous scheme by the ragtag team assembled to stop him. Mostly. Petra's just in it for the cure they're making.
Get the serum, make the cure, die. It's a simple plan. But things go south on their northwestern island when she witnesses a murder.

ALPHA WAVE
When my parents kicked the bucket, I thought that was the universe's way of saying "screw you" to me. But little did I know, life had an even bigger "screw you" in store. Then one sunny summer day out of nowhere, the Infected appeared. And man, were they ugly. Feral, bloodthirsty, savage beasts that looked like they'd been hit with the ugly stick- no scratch that- the ugly tree one too many times. But fear not, for Phoenix Corp arrived on the scene, wielding their science skills like superheroes. They cooked up a cure that saved the day, rescued us from the Infected menace. Or so we thought.... Suddenly, everything I knew was turned on its head when Phoenix agents showed up at my door at midnight and demanded access. I never thought I'd find myself allied with the Infected, the very creatures I saw as my mortal enemy. It's like friends became foes and foes became friends, and I'm left questioning everything I ever believed. But hey, at least I've got a front-row seat to the apocalypse. It's a wild ride, and I'm strapped in for the long haul. Who knows what craziness is yet to come? Oh, did I mention the infected had mouthwatering abs? Oh boy... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copyright law ... All rights reserved to CherryKel only.

Lightning without Thunder
ONC entry for 2024. Prompt 49: Being a superhero is just too boring. Let's be a villain! 15-years-old Marissa Everstar makes a Faustian bargain to receive superpowers, in the hope they will make her famous. But when being a superhero turns out to mainly involve boring work that does not get her the immediate popularity she craves, she shifts gears and becomes a villain. Trigger warning: contains descriptions of physical and emotional abuse, blood and gore. Excerpt from chapter 2: I carefully begin pouring the white powder onto the floor, drawing a large pentagram. I spend a lot of time on the intricate details, making sure everything is perfect. The summoning circle quite small, but it will have to do. I clap my hands twice and hear a soul-crushing scream that appears to pierce my body to its core. Hearing the sound fills my stomach with butterflies and gives me a fuzzy feeling. I haven't heard a single sound in almost a year. Following the scream, a shadowy figure emerges. He appears deep black, littered with stars, as if a human-like shape has been carved out of the universe, but also strangely transparent, as if made of glass. His long arms end in clawed fingers, and his ears and horns are goat-like in appearance. On his back are two bat-like wings. He speaks in a deep voice-the only one I've heard in a long time. "Mortal, why have you awoken me from my slumber?"Concluida
Transmigration of Starfire: Let's Have Some Fun~
Starfire: The top assassin feared by all, with a side hobby as an anonymous hacker who no one knew about - not even the organisation she worked for. Who would have thought she was the short, always-smiling, blonde girl who seemed to have no care in life and was always just looking for fun? And yes, if you are wondering "was?" That's because she died. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [So yes, you are dead. I am a top system who helped you, and now you will be going from world to world to complete quests and-] The system was cut off from its listings as Starfire laughed. "Really?~ That sounds like a lot of fun. I accept!" She said with a grin that took the system aback. [But I didn't even...] "Mhm?" She rose a brow and the system just went silent, deciding to sulk in its mind instead. {She didn't even allow me to tell her the reward she gets after...} If it could, it would have gone to a dark corner in the space to crouch there and sulk. {I couldn't even brag about myself and how powerful I am to bring her from the dead...} ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join Starfire as she journeys on... just for fun. Oh, right, I almost forgot! The "Head" is trying to get her to attain something, and an amused stalke- spectator appeared who might be her friend or foe. Be prepared for a dash of humor, action, world-hopping, mystery, and well... fun! Trigger warning: I shouldn't have to say this, but there will be mentions of death and dark humor here as is expected in transmigration/reincarnation stories. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is my original story and should not be copied.

NightCrawler✔
"There is something wrong," I didn't realize I was staring until she turned and stared at me as well. "So you two having a staring contest?" Jacob rolled his eyes. "And yes Iris like I just said point 3 seconds ago there is something wrong. Of course there's something wrong. Why wouldn't there be something wrong?" His voice raising as I came back to earth and looked at him. "This place is bullshit and is just bullshitting me with all these bullshit drugs telling me their bullshit will help me get better when I'm not even sick!" He gasped. "I've been here just for a few months and I'm going to die. I've only seen the sun like ten times! Ten times. No wonder everbody in here is turning pale and gross. My TAN IS GONE. I'm a fucking snowman. Look how WHITE I AM!" He exclaimed. A few nearby people looked over along with their doctors. ~~~~~~~~~~ Iris Thomson was just a normal girl. Until she turned four years old, from then every night she'd be visited by a monster named the nightcrawler. It would physically hurt her and nobody else would ever see it but her. The tall rag doll looking monster with sewn shut eyes and the widest smile breaking into various people's houses, killing their pets, stealing etc. She was thrown into a crazy hospital where she met new friends and enemies. Many secrets about her monster is uncovered and this might be the start to a problem a lot larger than Iris had thought.Concluida
