NO ONE IS BORN A MONSTER

"Deviants," a unique subspecies of humans born with extraordinary abilities, are deemed as monsters-according to the laws of Achlys, that is.

 Kieryn Skado, a natural-born fighter with an unwavering spirit and a compassionate soul, has dedicated her life to combatting these formidable "Devaint" foes. Having undergone lifelong soldier training, she stands on the precipice of joining The Purgers, an elite unit within the nation of Achlys, renowned for confronting Deviants head-on, who are trained within the brutal walls of Mathesis war college. 

Vincent Slade, an ex-soldier from an mysterious place outside Achlys, finds himself facing an imminent death sentence. However, a lifeline appears in the form of an offer: to complete a specific mission by bending his morals and joining Achlys's Purger Unit, attending Mathesis war college in order to locate a special girl, in exchange for  his freedom.

 As Kieryn's path intertwines with Vince's, her world is turned upside down, with mysteries unveiling at every twist and turn, one being the unforeseen threat of sudden rouge Deviants, coinciding with Vince's arrival. 

Amongst these enigmas, Vince himself is the biggest one: Who is he? Where did he come from? What's his motif? 

Despite Kieryn's deep-rooted animosity towards Vince, could he hold the answers she seeks? 

Could he unravel the web of deception that shrouds her existence? 

Love. Lies. Adventure. Betrayal. These are things that enter Kieryns life, as she discovers that her significance in the world she's living in, may be greater than she thought.

We Were Stardust Once by rrrick_grimesss
27 parts Ongoing
They were born from the stars, but the world refuses to let them stay. It has been three years since the Genesis Flares, the solar phenomenon that gave birth to Astrans: beings with abilities beyond human comprehension. Some see them as miracles, others as abominations but to those in power, they are a threat that must be controlled, exploited, or eradicated. Fear spreads like wildfire, and war is inevitable. Among the displaced and the hunted, a survivor fights to carve out a future for her people, refusing to let them be erased from history. By her side stands the one who saved her, a sister in all but blood, a friend who has vowed to protect her, even if it means keeping dangerous secrets. As alliances fracture and loyalties are tested, they must navigate a world that has already decided what they are: enemies. In the heart of the conflict, two minds once dedicated to progress now wrestle with the weight of their own creations. One, a scientist bound by failing health, seeks to undo the greatest mistake of his life before time runs out. The other, an engineer thrust unwillingly into war, struggles between duty, regret, and the burden of being the only one left to fight. Lines blur between vengeance and justice, survival and sacrifice. The choices they make will determine not only the outcome of the war but the future of the Astrans themselves. Before the war, before the fear, they were all the same. They were all stardust once.

A crime boss struggles to carry out a vendetta after he falls for the spirited daughter of his enemy. ***** Twenty-two years after his parents were killed, Federico Di Maggio returns to New York with a simple plan: take down the man who betrayed his family. What he didn't plan on was Elenora Borelli, the enigmatic and fiery daughter of his enemy. Reeling from recent heartbreak, Elenora will stop at nothing to find her happiness. But when she finds herself pressured into an engagement with the dark and mysterious Federico, happiness may be the least of her problems. Hellbent on sabotaging the arrangement, Elenora defies Federico in ways no one else would ever dare. Too bad Federico's never been one to back down from a challenge. Especially one that calls to him in the most feral and passionate of ways. With unforeseen betrayals and new rivals, perhaps the real challenge Federico must face is deciding whether to fight his feelings for Elenora or give into them. But even if he chooses to end his long-standing vendetta against her father for mounting sparks between them, there's no guarantee she'll risk her heart on him. *Content Advisory: This story contains coarse language, scenes with violence and mature sexual content.
