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.

Beneath the Noise 1 - [MXM] ✔️
(Completed) Brothers of the Empire Series I've never been entirely sure where I belong. Most days, I exist somewhere between wanting to fit in and wanting to disappear altogether. The world moves too fast, too loud, too bright, too full of unspoken rules that everyone seems to understand but me. So I stand there, another face in the crowd, pretending the thrum of the music doesn't make my chest ache, pretending the lights don't burn when they hit just right. But that night wasn't about pretending. It wasn't loud or dramatic. It was quiet, a small break in the noise where something inside me shifted. Life never warns you when someone important is about to enter your world. They simply appear, slipping into your orbit so softly you almost miss it. That's how it began for me. One night. One unexpected moment. And the start of everything that followed. --------------------------- Author's Notes This story is told in short chapters, with many moments that build gradually over time. While it can be read as a standalone, it serves as the first book in the Brothers of the Empire series, offering deeper insight into the characters, their histories, and the overarching timeline. The series consists of seven books, each to be released only after the previous installment is completed. 🏆 Rankings & Achievements 🥇 #1 (Family) - 08/04/2026 🥇 #1 (Spanish) - 06/01/2026 🥇 #1 (Mexico) - 09/11/2025 🥇 #1 (Autism) - 12/11/2025 🥉 #3 (Mlm) - 10/02/2026 🥉 #3 (Burn) - 04/01/2026 #6 (Struggles) - 23/01/2026 #19 (BxB) - 29/10/2025Complete
The Fallen Human

The main character wakes up in the middle of an underground world, filled with danger. The path to escape is a very dangerous one. Only the most determined can get through.

Salvage ~ V1: Nuts and Bolts (Steampunk/ Gaslamp Romantasy ~ FxM, MxM)
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.Complete
Be Careful What You Wish For Present:::
I'm not truly a writer nor good with words. I'm just a normal person trying to know who he/she really is. I can do lots of things. But for now, I think I'm gonna apply writing stuff. So I wrote this story based on a true story of the whole class of grade 7 and turned it into a magical but dangerous adventure. This story is about a girl hoping for her high school to turn more exciting than her sixth grade, but turned out to be less than she expected. As time passed she already missed being a sixth grader. So she wished to turn back time before she graduated but it was impossible for her to make it happen. Until... A ring she found in their retreat at her classmate's house. A ring with crystallized pose, indicated with aqua colors, and made of white gold with tiny blue crystals lined straight. A ring, that would change her life forever, if she succeeds. So join in as the student remark on an epic journey full of deadly viruses, colorful tents, and also tricky challenges when one wishes to turn back time and stop space. From dimension to dimension, few will survive, and the rest? Death! Unless... You read the story first excellent reader! Not to spoil anything but... To be honest, my story is awful... I expect lots of bad comments. So... hope you like it!Complete

Riku operation baby sitter 2 family chaos
They've survived explosions, kidnappings, and toaster wars. But now? Riku's facing something truly terrifying... middle schoolers. That's right - all ten of his grandkids are growing up, getting smarter, louder, and slightly more evil (in the cute way). Between juggling science projects that somehow explode, parent-teacher conferences that turn into hostage negotiations, and a family vacation that was peaceful... until the youngest one released a giant spider somewhere in the house, Riku's sanity is hanging by a thread - probably a webbed one. The house has turned into a full-blown sitcom of chaos: • Fid's trying to invent "anti-spider waffles" that somehow make things worse. • RJ's live-streaming everything like it's a reality show. • BYD keeps running DNA tests on the spider to "classify it as a roommate." • And Riku? He's sleeping with a flamethrower and a can of bug spray named Jeff. It's a family story about love, chaos, and eight-legged nightmares. Because when you're Riku - immortal lightning god, part-time babysitter, full-time disaster magnet - there's only one rule of survival: If it moves and has more than four legs... burn the whole house down and move. "I've fought demons, gods, and the embodiment of chaos... but I draw the line at spiders." - RikuComplete
The Human And The Monster (Re:Zero x Male Reader)
"You are the next in line to entertain me, fortunate mortal. Do try your best, and give me your greatest dance. A dance worth watching." All it takes is the blink of an eye for Y/N L/N to disappear from the modern world we all know and (don't) love. He finds himself in a fantasy world of everyone's dreams, and instantly gets to work on making a suitable life for himself. However, everything goes wrong when, at the end of the day, he's strangely sent back in time, and given worrying instructions. "The arrival of danger within an alleyway causes a call. The loot house receives he who is called once negotiations become violent. Two out of three lives- do try to prevent that number from reaching zero, otherwise I fear you might find yourself regretting it deeply." Now thrown into a confusing and dangerous situation, Y/N must use his cunningness to somehow prevent a certain person from dying too many times, lest he suffers the dire consequences... I don't own Re:Zero or any of the characters, credit goes to the original creators. Special thank you to GhostIXVI for making the book cover for me (and sorta promoting me to a certain voice actor for Re:Zero, this guy is a mad man), you're the goat. And a special thank you to you for at least reading this description. Enjoy the show.
