"Selfless actions are worth nothing in the City, after all." "I can't fail again. Not again." "If I can't fly, I'll make the sky come crashing down." "That incessant ticking..." "To fan the flames of the past." A Sunset's Chimera is a gritty story set in the dystopian world of the City, where power and money rule and altruism is a luxury most cannot afford. It revolves around the employees of a small fixer office (fixers essentially being the hired mercenaries of the City), as, while going about their day-to-day business, they find themselves getting wrapped up in something far bigger than themselves. The plot is a mix of a few genres, including drama, action, and perhaps a small amount of slice of life and comedy. It is technically speaking a fanfiction, as it was inspired by some concepts from the game trilogy Lobotomy Corporation, Library of Ruina, and Limbus Company by Project Moon. Though, considering the cast is essentially 100% original, it is almost a standalone story in its own right. (Written by Rotzka and Vergil)

Inevitable Ascension

***Completed*** If you knew your world would soon be torched to carbon, would you fight to save it? ...Or light a match of your own? Violina, a girl polarized by love and loathing, finds herself thrown into a post-apocalyptic world with mankind on the brink of extinction. Discovering the means to travel back in time, she teams up with the ever-optimistic, pun-loving Lux and sets out to prevent the apocalypse from ever happening in the first place. But as her crusade advances, she becomes increasingly disturbed by humanity's apparent *lack* of humanity and comes to a frightening realization: To build a new world, she must first tear the old one down. Inevitable Ascension-The twisted jigsaw puzzle of a story with equal parts rapid-fire action, humor and charm. It's got a host of twists that will literally make your brain explode! Actually not literally, you know, because otherwise that would be really gross. Who is V.K. McAllister? We're a husband/wife duo (Andrew and Sasha McAllister) with a unique approach to writing. We work simultaneously and in secret before combining what we come up with, resulting in dramatic and unexpected twists that surprise even us! Crazy? Yes, yes it is, but it's surprisingly fun and effective. :) We pretty much live for the Inevitable Ascension series and did just about everything ourselves-the writing, the editing, the publishing, the art (well, Andrew did the art, but Sasha provided invaluable consulting when it came to eyebrows), the audio book, the trailer-everything. We're basically a one-man band, except with two people... and no music... so perhaps not the best metaphor, but we're confident you get what we mean.
