The advent of cybernetic technology has not been kind to 2400s America. While other countries have thrived, America has plummeted. The thin veneer of order and equality has been disposed of; the current rule of the land is survival of the richest. Everything is commercialized, be it gender identity, legal repercussions, or what cyber implants you have under your skin. Being able to survive in America as one of the countless many laborers is an art form.

And Reikas would dub himself an auteur.

Reikas is a young man with dreams and an ego large enough to fill in the gaps his inexperience leaves. He seeks to stake his claim in the one place The Man can not censor; public property graffiti. The climb to the top isn't the safest, however. As he ventures into the world, he must take a look at his friends and himself and ask:

What would you sacrifice to achieve your goals?

🗹 Sorcerer on the Street by angelrwedge

Everybody wants John to be something. His family wanted to marry him off to some rich guy. Isaac wants him to be a wizard. But John has run away from home, determined to follow his own dreams. And his dream is to be a private eye, just like in all the Raymond Chandler novels he read as a child. He can only hope that the detective skills he learned from those books are still relevant when it's 1996 and he's homeless in the big city... I was trying to write a book, all the way from initial concept to publication, in November 2024. All feedback appreciated. I managed to post a chapter every day in November, and write 5 more, but at the start of December I've still got a handful of loose ends to tie up.

Johnny + V - Chippin' in by mushrommmsss

A world where Dexter deshawn doesn't kill her. A world where she zeroed herself, what a fucking idiot. --- This story features a soft depressed v with anxiety. She's very nervous almost all the time. She's also struggling horribly with the loss of Jackie. And johnny silverhand is a bit of a softie in this as well, he's more nice to v and more jokester. He has a soft spot for v in this story. He isn't a asshole (sometimes he is) and he tries his best to take care of v. So please don't read, if you don't like that. My end goal is at least 40-50 chapters. And this story isn't perfect at all, by any means. Has spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes and some things don't make sense.

SLEEK REVENGE✓ (Completed) by Sinful_Moroccan

"I love her very much man. She's my life, don't know what I'll do if she rejects me." I sighed and glanced sideways. I knew she was behind that wall and as the dumb bitch she was she couldn't differentiate between pretense and real feelings. ____________________________________ Revenge has driven the most powerful man to strike. In the middle of his vendetta: lust, romance and love will mix. Let's hope he ends up finishing what he started. (Not very good at descriptions but you can work with this) Contains mature adult themes and alot of cursing and swearing.🔞 Reader's discretion is advised. Crude comments will not be allowed.🚫 Vote|☆| and comment.

_+_ This book will contain potentially triggering topics that are marked in the warnings and at the top of the chapter they're in. These could be but are not limited to, death, explosions, the loss of someone's home, self-harm, and self-destructive behavior. If you are uncomfortable with these topics, then I advise you not to read this book, as most chapters will include them. Simply skipping over them will likely cause you to misunderstand the meaning of this book, as most of the actual story is in these chapters. _+_ Trying to update once a month minimum I apologize if I am unable to, I have a life outside of writing. _+_ I am rewriting this! Hopefully, it'll be much more descriptive, and better at explaining the plot! _+_ If you think you know me irl, please do not read this book, as I am using it as an outlet and there may be things I write that I am uncomfortable with sharing with you. _+_ The cover art is mine ! _+_ #3 in #Pest as of 18/8/2024 #1 in #Partynoob as of 12/9/2024 #1 in #robloxregretevator as of 14/2/2025 #1 in #transcharacter as of 18/8/2024

Cyberpunk: 2075 by srpelukas

Crossing over into the world of Cyberpunk 2077 should be an opportunity to make a big splash... Wait, hold on, isn't this the year 2075? Sure, it's already November, and 2076 is just around the corner, but I only know about what happens in 2077! In this world, you might not want to live, but you can't afford to not have a job. Anyway, let's start by becoming a mercenary and picking up gigs. That sounds simple enough, but getting a job from a fixer only to face off against an ACPA (Armored Combat Personal Assist) right off the bat-aren't we going a bit overboard here? And who's this daughter of Michiko Arasaka? I've only seen the demo; I don't know these people! What kind of chaotic mission is this!?

(INCOMPLETE) Of Ink And Flowers - A LGBTQIA+ Love Story by Lily_EditsX

Lufi Muhamad, an insomniac college dropout with mild anxiety, opens up a Tattoo Parlor right across the street from a small Flower Shop. The day after opening, he finds a bouquet on the doorstep of his parlor. He looks across the street and sees a blue-eyed boy with dirty blonde hair opening the flower shop, and something within him stirs. Deimos Alexander, a hyper ADHD 20-year-old, was shocked when he realized that a new business had opened up across the street. He looked in the window and saw (In his best friend's words) an "Emo in the wild" tattooing someone. He makes a bouquet for him and places it on his porch step. He almost dropped his coffee the following day when he saw an oil pastel drawing on his welcome mat from the tattoo artist. Trigger Warning: While this book is a majority fluff there are a few angsty bits that face some grim topics including child abuse, dangerous parents, alcohol abuse, homophobia, transphobia, and harassment. This story includes quite a bit of swearing as well (blame my trucker dad for that) so viewer discretion is advised. No Smut whatsoever in this book. (I love y'all but I'm not putting my ace ass through that torture) If you have an idea for a cute date between characters, a friend group excursion, etc. please comment. I will either try to incorporate it in the story itself or make a oneshot book. NOTE: There is no specific schedule. While I will try and update once a week I am still in school and I'm both a part of the theater program and dance team so updates might be inconsistant.

The Cowboy: My Hero Academia x Male Reader Erron Black by Outlaw_Hunter

Quirks, unique powers given to most of the population in the world. With this new power, society as a whole grew different. People became Heroes and others became Villains. Thus, law and order change drastically in the years that have gone by. Even with this power among the people, there was always evil that showed up. With evil continuing to lurk the streets everywhere, there had to be something that kept the good guys prepared for the battles to come. A lot of schools were developed across the world and the most prestigious one was UA in Japan. Known for having All Might and many others as students, this school was the top of the line. Y/n Black, a rancher that lives on the outskirts of Wickett, Texas, lived quite a different life than a lot of people think a rancher would do. Y/n was gifted the ability to slow down time in his own eyes, his quirk was called Dead Eye. Dead Eye came in handy when having to round up the herd of cattle or horses, but Y/n also used his ability to fight against the evil that lurked amongst his town and state. You see, Y/n wasn't just good at seeing things in slow motion, he was a damn good gunslinger as well. He happened to be so skilled that people began to believe his "quirk" was marksmanship, but that wasn't the case. For Y/n's path to UA high, one afternoon to run an errand for his Ma, changed his life. Thing is, can Y/n shoot his way out of trouble at UA? All Credits to Mortal Kombat and the creators of My Hero Academia. This book will be mine and @ItzGazza second collaboration book. We hope you enjoy!

Izuku Midoriya Hero: Wildcard by Peterpotter07

This is going to be my very first story so I'm open to all advice that comes my way to improve. With 80% of the worlds population being given special powers know known as "quirks" our hero sadly falls under the 20% that does not. Do to this fact and the fact that the majority of quirkless people fall under those in the older population, our hero grows up to the truth of the world, that people always were a mask around their true self's. After being told by his number 1 hero All Might, and his ex-best friend Katsuki Bakugou telling him to "take a swan dive and pray for a quirk in another life", Izuku finds himself saved by a group of 9 spirits that will help him become the hero his world needs by changing their hearts with the power of his personas. Watch as the once bullied, beaten and belittled to the point of being given the nickname "Deku", rise from the hate to become the hero who saves those from anything....... even themselves. (If I use any images in this story they do not belong to me and if possible I'll place the original creators tag.) This story will be a Izukuxharem. I don't know if I'll add lemons but if I do I'll try my best. This will also be in the format

~•Flatlined•~ [Female V + Judy] by deadwordsx

"It only takes one night to ruin Night City.... " Night City, a heavily polluted futuristic city of California, built upon domestic violence, eddies (eurodollars) and drugs, it has been named the most dangerous place and worst place to live in America. Born into nothing, V, living in the harden streets of Heywood, a low income suburb outside the red light district, was raised by gangs that became family. Night City was cruel, cold, and hardening. In the year 2077, if you wanted to make it to the big leagues, you gotta start at the bottom and just pray you don't flatline. * * * * * * * * * * * ❗⚠️TW/CAUTION⚠️❗: This story will contain some mature themes and content such as but not limited to: -NSFW/$ex -Ďrug Abu$e -Violence (defs alot of that) -$uicide/$uicidal tendiencies This is intended to be an 18+ only book, mature audience. Viewer discression is adviced. And FYI for any Cyberpunk 2077 gamer, I'm still playing the game, haven't even passed 50% completion XD and I do not wanna watch playthroughs for full on spoilers. So this book will mostly be my version of the game's main story with some canon details. I'll try to update the book as I progress through the campaign. [Edit 2/28: Finished my first playthrough, Temp ending, will replay other endings and based book off those details.]
