DEATH;OVERRIDE
Even death has rules. He was born to break them.
Ren Saiga has always been dying. Afflicted by a rare, incurable condition he calls "Null Energy," his body rejects all nourishment, wasting away no matter how hard he tries to live. Isolated, pitied, and treated like a burden, his only escape lies in sleep-and the nightmares that wait for him there.
But when Ren takes a step off his thirteen-story balcony, what should've been his end becomes a beginning. Time freezes. The world fractures. And from the silence, a shadow calls out to him: the Grim Reaper, offering a single, impossible deal-power to remake the world or a front-row seat to its destruction.
To protect the only people who ever loved him-and to find meaning in a life cursed from the start-Ren must defy death itself. Again. And again. And again.
Because in this twisted city where cruelty is power, and pain is currency...
overriding death may be the only way to truly live.

The Grim Reaper's Girl
This is a story about the Grim Reaper and the souls he delivers. The Grim Reaper delivers souls from earth to what most comprehend as the 'afterlife'. When there is the occasional resistance from unwilling souls, he'll retrieve an old memory or feeling of theirs and let them experience it again. It usually works to persuade them to leave the world - souls who had suicidal thoughts in the past, those who lost loved ones and didn't want to continue living without them, and those who did something wrong and felt huge crushing guilt. Until he met a soul who never felt like she wanted to die before.Complete

Death's Duty
(18+) *Complete/Unedited* ---- "You are death." I heard the grin in his tone. "Death's duty is to take care of the already departed. Newly deceased, and previously deceased alike." ***** Morrigan Wraith lives a double life; one not many would think to question. While on the outside she looks like a normal human detective, underneath all of that lies a grim reaper. Reapers were created at the beginning of time, formed to be unemotional and detached as a soul's transport to either Heaven or Hell. But Morrigan is unlike the rest. She was created with a defective heart - one that felt emotion, and one that got her into more trouble than she ever imagined. (18+ for language, violence, and sexual situations)Complete
Echoes of a Broken Mind
In the rain-soaked streets of Midori City, a shadow moves with purpose. Blood drips. Bodies are discovered, each more artfully arranged than the last. Each victim tells a story-or rather, two different stories. Detective Ren Saito is haunted by his past failures. When he's assigned to investigate a series of gruesome murders, he notices something others miss: the contradictions. Some victims are posed with meticulous care, others savagely torn apart. Some crime scenes contain remorseful notes, others carry messages of rage. As the body count rises, Ren uncovers a chilling truth-the killer suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder. Two personalities wage war within one mind: methodical Mira, who kills with artistic precision, and violent Ash, who murders in chaotic fury. But as Ren delves deeper into the killer's fractured psyche, he's forced to confront his own demons. The line between hunter and hunted blurs. The killer seems to know him-his fears, his regrets-and the murders begin to feel increasingly personal. In a race against time, Ren must unravel the mysteries of a broken mind before the next body falls. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more he questions his own sanity. Some minds are best left unexplored.Complete
The Hollow Pact
When Ren Holloway, a fiercely independent and slightly chaotic high school junior, stumbles across a hidden ritual in the woods outside her sleepy town, she accidentally becomes bonded to a forgotten creature of the Veil - an ancient plane between life and death. Now cursed (or blessed?) with abilities no one should have - like glimpsing past traumas through touch, sensing when something isn't alive, and sometimes... speaking with things that shouldn't speak - Ren is caught in a centuries-old battle between supernatural forces that have been feeding off her town for generations. The pact is unstable. The creature wants freedom. And something else wants her dead before she figures out why the Veil is thinning - and who caused it. 🧍♀️ Main Character: Ren Holloway Personality: Hyper-observant, sarcastic under pressure, uses humor to deflect. Doesn't trust easily. Background: Lost her brother under mysterious circumstances years ago; she's been "the weird girl" ever since. No one believes her when she says the forest is wrong. Skills: Not magical, but freakishly good at puzzles, rituals, languages, and uncovering secrets. Flaws: Impulsive, emotionally repressed, tends to push people away to avoid being hurt. 🐚 The Entity: "The Hollow One" Ren calls it "Echo" (sarcastically at first, but it sticks). A shapeless, ancient being bound to her soul - once a guardian, now corrupted. Speaks in whispers only she can hear. Doesn't understand humanity but is curious about Ren. Not necessarily evil, but extremely morally gray. Feeds on fear and memory. Slowly begins to regain pieces of its identity through Ren's actions.Complete
