The Case of The Rippler
(Kind of bad cover art is made by me) "Didn't think this right, did you, Skullram?" "Why'd you go out and do all of this, The Rippler? Just tell me!" There had been missing cases happening around a small city in Maine, Eros, in which twenty-five missing cases had resulted into murder, all bodies being found, twisted in ways, covered in ink and some sort of rope that had materialized similar to octopus tentacles, wrapped around each individual body. The detectives working on the unexpected murders just concluded that everyone just dies from a new species of an animal, but in reality, it's something way different. It's caused by a very abnormal and twisted looking monster by the name of 'The Rippler.' There was only one group, the Numbskulls, that had been brave enough to even try and defeat 'The Rippler' as they had figured clues along the way for solving the murder cases. See Phillip 'Skullram' Lionel, the leader of 'Numbskulls', and his group along the troubles in both high school and other places, mainly their meeting spots as conflicts between members nearly take it a bit too far...

A VEIL IN THE SHADE
Wisnokee. A city where the night devours the weak, and justice is as twisted as the criminals who rule its streets. Corruption thrives in every alley, and the law is just another game played by those with power. Detective Elroy Stephens has spent years trying to clean up the filth, but some cases refuse to be solved in the light. That's why, when the sun sets, he becomes something else. He becomes The Veil. A masked vigilante, a shadow in the dark, the last judgment for those the system refuses to punish. But Wisnokee is bleeding, and something far more sinister has emerged. Bodies begin appearing-hanging from streetlights, from courthouse rafters, from the bones of a dying city. Each corpse bears a mark-a sentence passed by an executioner long thought to be a ghost. They call him The Hangman. And his trials have just begun. Now, The Veil must descend into the abyss of Wisnokee's underworld, facing ruthless crime lords, corrupt officials, and a cult of justice-driven fanatics who believe the only way to cleanse the city is by leaving it hanging. As the lines between justice and vengeance blur, Elroy will be forced to confront his own demons. Because in Wisnokee, the only verdict that matters is the one written in blood. In Wisnokee, justice isn't blind... it's hanging by a thread.Complete
