Ongoing, First published May 24
Broke, bitter, and borderline unhinged, 17-year-old engineering student Riven has no money, no friends, and definitely no time for life's BS. When college loans, a fractured family, and a string of slaps from mysterious women aren't enough, he stumbles into a shady janitor job promising a "100% acceptance rate." Spoiler: it ends with him almost drowning in a sealed pool.

But just when things spiral into total insanity, a voice speaks:
"You've been selected to the Desperado."

Whatever Desperado is... it's not just a job.
It's a game. A test. Maybe even a trap.
And Riven? He's about to lose a lot more than just his dignity.

Dark humor, chaotic narration, and a mystery waiting to explode-welcome to Desperado, where survival comes with sarcasm and sanity is optional.

Thirty Credits by Akiboo
1 part Ongoing Mature
Kael Morrigan is nineteen years old and already broken. In a world where Gates tore apart reality and flooded seventy percent of Earth with monsters, there are no countries left-only Sectors. Walled fortresses where humanity's remnants huddle behind concrete and pray the next Gate doesn't rupture before the Hunters clear it. Seventy-two hours. That's all the time between survival and annihilation. Kael isn't a Hunter. He's a porter-the lowest, most expendable piece of the industry that keeps humanity alive. Every morning, Gate sirens wail. Every day, the countdown begins again. Every night, Kael comes home with contaminated lungs, bleeding hands, and barely enough to buy protein paste and recycled water. The Hunters call him deadweight. The corporations see him as replaceable. His neighbors avoid his eyes because they know he's just another corpse waiting for a Gate to claim him. But Kael gets up anyway. Binds his ruined feet. Shoulders his pack. Walks into the monsters' den. Not for glory or hope-those luxuries died with the old world. He does it because two girls in a freezing room need him to come home alive. In a world drowning in nightmares, survival isn't heroic. It's just refusing to quit when quitting would be easier than breathing. This is the story of how far one man will break before he's finally free. == If you'd like to support my work, you can check out my Patreon; it'll have advance chapters for free. Patreon.com/akibo
Salvage ~ V1: Nuts and Bolts (Steampunk/ Gaslamp Romantasy ~ FxM, MxM) by avaseofpeonies
47 parts Complete Mature
A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world. Magic, mad science, multicultural ambiance, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M. For mature audiences, 18+. ~~~*~~~ All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people. Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use. Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last? She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her - especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family? Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister - and the rekindling of an old flame. ~~~*~~~ Please see the introduction for detailed content warnings.

the realmwalker- unwritten

26 parts Complete

In a world built from code and quests, she arrives-a girl with no name, no script, and no allegiance. A Realmwalker. Riven was never meant to exist. Nathan was never meant to matter. Just another NPC in a game world ruled by heroes and hunters. But when she saves him from a fate he was never meant to escape, everything changes. everything begins to unravel. As the lines between player and pawn blur, the system starts to fracture. Secrets surface. Loyalties shift. And love-unscripted, impossible-threatens to rewrite everything. Because some stories aren't meant to follow the rules. Some are meant to break them. And the world isn't ready for the unwritten. And neither are they. Some stories save the world. Others break it
