A cerebral, morally complex book, with (hopefully) realistic characters that try their best in the world granted to them. Incorporating light engineering concepts, heavy thinking, and strategy into combat and day-to-day interactions, this is a book I couldn't find on the shelves, so I'm trying to make it. As we move along, we follow the retired Lieutenant Colonel Cohen, a deep-thinking and surprisingly rambunctious engineer called back onto the field for a new chance. Given a new team, a spacecraft, and an outdated exoskeleton, Cohen's been given a new role in life - that of a state-sanctioned bounty hunter with little ties to any superiors, a valued expendable. And many problems await. 

The story is still in development, but feel free to read it as I work! It's relatively clean, with some cursing. However, there will be blood, violence, and gore, so watch out for that.

I should be updating this weekly, probably during the weekends, but if I don't, feel free to annoy me in the comment section until I upload.

For this cyborg, power is just an upgrade away. Emmett was used to being caught between college and his engineering internship, but when he gets caught between a powerful hero and an even stronger villain, he becomes collateral damage. Instead of dying, he wakes up a cyborg. Turns out his boss wasn't just an eccentric inventor, and the old man just gave him a shining opportunity to be a hero. Except that's just the beginning, and things are about to get a lot more complicated. His boss has his own agenda. The boss's daughter has her own power armor. His roommate works for an evil corporation. And Emmett is small fry. Just a Class 1 hero. Superheroes aren't just masks-some work for corporations, or for the government and the military, and even as mercenaries in wars. Shadowy cabals pull the strings of hero and villain alike. The city of Belport might be peaceful for now, but most of the world is in turmoil. If Emmett is going to have any chance at making a difference, he needs to get stronger. A lot stronger. How much of his humanity will he hold onto and how much will he trade away? If you're a fan of Cyborg, Winter Soldier, Iron Man, or Batman Beyond, then you don't want to miss this series!

Welcome to my Facility for Research into Erotica And Kinky Stuff. This will be a collection of somewhat experimental stories that were born from my growing awareness that I'm really bad at writing smut ( and descriptions in general, and emotions, but... baby steps.) Don't expect wall-to-wall sex, though; that wouldn't be literature, just a regular WFH Tuesday. These are still going to be actual stories with an actual plot - in some cases, even a good one, if I pull it off. Just that each time my instinct will tell me to cut, go roundabout, or fade to black, I'll force myself to lean in instead, and may fate have mercy on us all. Currently, I have: Haute Cuisine -- A full of twists, dystopian, cyberpunk-lite story about what is scarier, high-tech cannibalism or late-stage capitalism. And it's all just one date night. NOW PUBLISHED STANDALONE, CHECK THAT ONE. Execution Device 14 -- don't read that one, it's nasty. The oldest story from my current bout of writing activity, and oh boy, it shows-pure erotic horror, distasteful and lacking any depth. Still pretty original, I think, something like a mix of J-horror, SCP, and weird porn. Bring eye bleach. Demographic Defence Corps: Inspection -- an extended middle chapter from a future novel about militarized breeding fetish, but the focus is not on abuse but being gaslighted into badassery. Think Starship Troopers, but with dicks instead of bugs. ....and that's all. But there will be more, some day. Please make sure to mind the individual preface pages with their warnings. Jokes aside, this is going to get rough. ----------- If you are reading this story on any other platform other than Wattpad you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack.

{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16

I know what you must be thinking. Why not name this title ' the adventures of Sharkboy, lavagirl and whatever my name is'? Well because that would of ruin the whole story. For this is not really my story, i was not created as a dream. I'm an actual human and I did not come from max, nor planet drool. I was born on earth like every other normal child there is. The only thing different about me is that I have a special power. Although I don't seem to know about this power, nor understand how to use it I'm a main target for everyone. I can rather save everybody from a terrible event or destroy everyone within seconds. Because of this I am very weary around people and shy too. As I try my best to blend in it becomes harder and harder each day to keep my self from exposing this energy. The worse part is I don't even know I have it! Well not until later on. Until that time comes I have a lot more to fix to be prepared for it. Highest Rank: #16 in lavagirl
