Obscure by Lux-Thorn

Forgetting is dangerous. Remembering is deadly. Elias: the man sitting handcuffed in an interrogation room deep in a secret underground facility. On the surface, he looks harmless. But his mind is a weapon-he can erase memories with a thought. Kirill: the man on the other side of the interrogation table. He has a weapon of his own-he can see inside other people's memories. All he has to do is make them feel a strong enough emotion, and their minds are his. And no emotion works quite as well as fear. Elias has worked for decades to save the Enhanced-people born with superhuman abilities-from being abducted and forced into black-ops work. Now his captors want the names of everyone who has ever helped him. If Kirill's methods of persuasion don't work, he'll simply use Elias's fear to slip into his mind and plunder his memories. But he may get more than he bargained for. Decades ago, Elias erased a set of memories that tie the two of them together in a way neither of them suspects. And those memories are about to come to light. Obscure is part of the Mind Games universe, a series of standalone stories about ordinary humans with superhuman abilities and the people who want to use or destroy them. This novel is 65,000 words long, or about 200 pages.

꧁༒𝕯𝖊𝖈𝖊𝖓𝖙𝖗𝖞~𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖜𝖔𝖗𝖑𝖉 𝖔𝖋 𝖑𝖎𝖆𝖗𝖘༒꧂ by LouisValeria2304

Lies are the foundation of this world. Truth? Just another illusion. In a world where truth is a rare currency and deception is a way of survival, the sanctuary of Decentry stands as the last fragile hope against the creeping darkness. Fiyona never asked to be the keeper of a relic that whispers to the dark. Never asked to be hunted by Shades that bleed through the cracks of reality. Never asked to stand beside Qualin-the infuriatingly unreadable swordsman whose every word feels like a carefully placed move in a game she doesn't understand. He fights for Decentry, just like her. But why does it feel like he's always watching, always calculating, as if she's the one being studied? In a city built on deception, trust is the most dangerous weapon. The Shades are closing in, spies lurk in the shadows, and secrets claw at the edges of their fragile sanctuary. Everyone has a role to play-mercenary, leader, traitor. But when the lines blur, when every truth feels like a carefully crafted lie, Fiyona has to wonder: Is she protecting Decentry, or is Decentry protecting something from her? Enemies in the dark. Whispers in the walls. And a partner who might be something else entirely. •Welcome to Decentry. Keep your eyes open for clues-sometimes the smallest details hold the biggest secrets!!•

Forever Fighting | ✔️ | [previously Espionage: double-cross] by WinterWillow901

Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing. [previously known as Espionage: double-cross] Thanks for reading :)
