"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.

Undercover
*THIS IS A CRIME FICTION BUT THERE ISN'T AN OPTION FOR THAT* ____________________________ There's no way to know how a case is going to go... You may think that you are all ready to go, but nothing will prepare you for entering court and see the faces of people that trusted you, and you broke that trust. Nobody will EVER understand that pain until they experience it first hand. This is one of the narrow list of Madison's undercover cases... Maybe one of the hardest ones. ____________________________ EXCERPT "Why is this beeping?"- The boss asks while watching the screen. "Beeping?"- Garrett freaks out. "YES!" We share a look before somewhat running over to see. "A virus?"- I question not moving my eyes from the screen. The last person I hacked was his computer which can mean 2 things: It spread from my desk They installed it on my computer. Either way, somebody touched that one before I came here. ________________ **Credits to @lollyti for the cover** Also, yes, I know it's Kim Burgess in the coverComplete
SYMBOL
Quirks, the evolutionary advancement of human evolution. The next step in human history to become better than what they were before but that was just hopeful wishing. Since the dawn of quirks, humans started losing their humanity. They valued quirks as if they are what determines where people stand in society and if you don't have a quirk you'd live a life full of torment, torture and just plain cruelty. A boy was born in a corrupted world and he was unfortunate enough to be born quirkless. He has seen the horrors of how humans treat the less fortunate, those who are quirkless, who have weak quirks, mutation quirks and quirks that are considered villainous. He wanted to change the outlook of how society became, so he planned on becoming something that could change the world. He would become a SYMBOL (Something messed with my book and wiped my description and tags so I had to re-do it) A/N: I really don't know how to write a description.

His Prize
Nina is captured by parbeing man. He plans to turn her into his pet. He knows she won't go down without a fight, but he's not prepared for how much 'fight' she has packed in her small body. 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
