"Impossible is a word for other people to use when life scares them."
-Chris Hayes-Kossmann
---------------------------------------
"Doing the impossible" is what Garret Kennedy happens to be annoyingly good at. More times than often, it comes around to punch him in the gut every time he stands. A genius delinquent who dropped out of college to work in his uncle's bar, Garret is a hacker that makes a life off of simultaneously reading people's minds, hacking their phones, and pouring them drinks. But at least he's good at running. He's very good at running.
When a girl approaches him with a job on the wrong side of the law, Garret discovers that an old enemy to the girl plans to rip him and many others of his lifestyle. Now Garret must fight back for what he loves, and only his new, underground family of thieves and hackers can help him.

Technology. A simple word, isn't it? Well... Not really. It can be anything. Your phones, your PC, or any other device you're using to read this description. BUT... It doesn't end there. Televisions, radios, refrigerators, ovens, blah blah blah, the list goes on and on. Pretty cool, huh? Well, now, let's think of technology in a fictional world. Or even better, a fictional world, where people have gone through mutations in their very genes, giving them specific "inhumane" abilities... Coined as "quirks". In the light of such mutations, people started to bring their dreams to realities, and the concept of "heroes" and "villains" came up. Such genetic mutations spread all around and now, the mutated people, or, "quirked" people, make up about 80 percent of all human life on this fricking earth! Getting back to the point, technology surely has MUCH MORE influence and practical use in this world. Now, imagine the power to control this technology. Or, having a quirk that allows you to do so. Let's join each other and follow the journey of a young man named Y/N Colomar, who has this specific quirk. Like any other kid his age, he wants to be a hero. He just wants to help others, and see people's smiles at the end of the day. The only issue is... The dude is a complete shy introvert. Best rankings: 01/08/2024: #1 in #malereaderinsert
Twilight (MHA x M! OC insert)
In a world where 80% of the population has developed unique mutations in their genetic codes, giving them "superpowers", or "quirks", as they call it, it doesn't take long for fantasy and imagination to emerge out of the earth. And further, it doesn't take long for roles of "Heroes" and "Villains" to rise up as well. But... Who coins one as a "hero" or a "villain"...? The person themselves...? Or the people around them...? Light... Dark... Dusk... Dawn... Two sides of the same coin... Twilight... --- Kageyama Kazuma is a 16 year old boy, aspiring to follow his late father's footsteps, and become a hero who saves people. But... Not all can go as planned, or wished, right? So was the case for Kazuma as well, as his quirk soon found itself being held accountable for Kazuma being coined the word "villain" by those around him, before he could even begin his journey to becoming a hero. His only light in this darkness being his mother, is willing to do whatever it takes to keep that smile she treasures so much to never leave the boy's face. But... Being a human at the end of the day, she can only do so much. Follow Kageyama through his journey to becoming one of the greatest heroes in the entirety of Japan. What awaits him on this journey? Friends? Love? Hardships? That's for you to find out. [This is a rework of my first book ever, "What It Means To Be A Hero"] --- I do not own any claims/rights to the My Hero Academia verse, all rights go to Kosei Horikoshi. I only own the original characters I've added to the story, and the arts I add in the book. In case the art doesn't belong to me, I'll credit the said person in the comments. Peace.

FRACTURE CODE
In a world where intelligence is currency and secrets are traded like weapons, five prodigies from different fields are pulled into a covert task force no one is supposed to know exists. Eli Drayton, a haunted hacker with no memory of his early childhood and a lifetime on the run, builds code faster than most people can think. Mira Chen, a mechanical genius abandoned by her family's pride, builds machines with heart but struggles to connect to people. Dev Patel, a mathematical savant with crippling anxiety, sees the world in equations but trusts no one. Lena Rosario, a psychology and language expert, can unravel lies with a glance but is haunted by the fear she doesn't belong. And Cam Torres, a photographic-memoried former Olympic champion, hides a broken spine behind bulletproof precision and wit. Together, they form Phantom-an underground problem-solving unit that tackles puzzles no agency can crack. From cyberterrorism to biochemical sabotage, from runaways to runaway trains, each mission pushes them closer to the truth: someone is watching them. And not just watching-pulling strings. As personal secrets begin to unravel and the missions grow deadlier, the team must face a terrifying possibility: The most dangerous enemy... might be the one who brought them together. --- Would you like an alternate version with a more mystery or thriller tone? Or maybe a title variation with symbolic weight? This story was inspired from the hit TV Series---SCORPIONS.Complete

His new pet leaks into every area of his life, changing things in ways he could never have imagined. Parbeings are the new and improved apex predators of Earth. Created from gene editing, they are the perfect humans, so perfect that they are no longer even considered human. *** Content Warning: The protagonist of this story is a victim of abuse. I do not condone the actions of the antagonist *** Chapter 1 extract: "Hey Alex. Get over here. I've got something for you," he calls into his collar radio. I reach the end of the alley and turn to face my foe once again, but he remains where he is, still blocking my path but not approaching either. New plan: when he gets close, duck under his arms and make a run for it. Now I just have to wait. Before a minute has even passed, another armoured soldier appears and joins the first. This just keeps getting worse. How am I supposed to dodge past two of them? "What do you want now?" the new soldier grumbles. This one must be Alex. "Look at this cute little human I found. She's feisty. I think she's perfect for you." I glare at them. "I don't want a pet human. That's your disgusting fetish, and I'll have no part in it." "Oh come on Captain," the first soldier whines, "You don't have to fuck her, just train her to be obedient. Surely you can control one measly wild human? You are a captain after all. When you're done, you can just get rid of her, like I do with my humans." What the fuck? For a brief moment my fear is replaced by anger. Who do they think they are, talking about me like I'm some kind of wild animal? "Get the fuck away from me! You freaks!" I screech. The first soldier just flashes an evil grin. They don't budge. "Are you just going to let her talk to you like that?" he goads Alex. (Complete. 70k words.)Complete
