Dei, The Power of Corruption

Dei Virtute means the Virtue of God.
Following the need for the planets to participate in history, Dei, the son of Mars, is born. With a character and power never before seen, he unfortunately falls into the hands of Periculum, a gigantic serpent with supernatural intelligence.

How badly can such great power end, with the ideas of a sadist instilled from birth?

Later, he meets Virindia Homiterra, the only other being similar to him. But can his corrupt heart still be saved?

"Where was the fun in possessing great power, if all I could do was think about the consequences? Perhaps being powerful wasn't fun, and that statement was depressing."

This is the story of a young man whose power is unprecedented and purposeless, a great power in vain... Or could he possess a mission he doesn't know about? Perhaps the most important mission of the envoys?

"There has never been happiness without pain; there would never have been peace without war. All those empty and incoherent beings don't know what they have while they enjoy their privileges.
It's boring to observe a perfect balance. This is how I created you,
the perfect entertainment, the perfect distraction, the corruption of the saints.
You will punish the good and make them evil."
- Destiny

{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
Szverak  by SzweetArt
8 parts Ongoing Mature
In the shadowed realms of Elyndor, where monsters devour the weak and demons whisper temptations in the night, the Szverak stand as humanity's cursed saviors. Forged in the brutal fires of the Learning Castle, these guardians are orphans and street urchins trained from childhood in blood-soaked rituals-learning to heal from mortal wounds, sense evil's approach, and devour the raw organs of their kills to steal unholy powers. Hated by the very souls they protect, they carve a path through gore and glory, their bodies marked by scars that tell tales of survival. Enter Ares, the White Scar-a legendary Szverak of unknown age, his pale flesh a canvas of battles won. With a wicked humor that masks his unyielding resolve, Ares has felled nearly every abomination the darkness can spawn: dragons whose hearts grant fire's immunity, succubi whose livers pulse with seductive resilience. But when his ultra instinct awakens to a cataclysmic vision-the Nerc King, an ancient entity of necrotic devastation stirring in the abyssal Shadowrift-Ares knows the end times loom. Armed with blade and berserk rage fueled by his own blood, Ares embarks on a relentless quest. He'll forge uneasy alliances in fog-shrouded taverns and blood-drenched battlefields, where victories taste of iron and fleeting passions ignite amid the carnage. In a world of unrelenting horror, can one scarred warrior unravel the Nerc King's web of decay, or will Elyndor fall to eternal rot? Szverak is a fast-paced dark fantasy epic, brimming with visceral gore, sensual rituals, and hard-won triumphs-where hope flickers like a blade in the dark.
The Flower Longed Death by jezxzica

Princess Serena felt she was doomed to live a dreary, protected existence in the palace that she was prepared to end. Even once she inherits the title of Queen, the kingdom of Eden would never cease to protect its flower. Her fear of living a dull life ate at her until her tempting first love, Caius, renters it. He vows to free her of her sorrows with a promise of magic, adventure, and passion. She thought he would bring her the excitement she had been looking for, but joining her deadly infatuation would wilt Eden's flower to the brink of agony. ------------------------------------------------------------------- When he turned his ear to me, I noticed that I could see the right side of his mouth. I've used it as a substitute for eye contact. When he smirked just now, I felt myself tremble. "There's a corpse of my creation at my feet Serena. What makes you think I'm devout to religion?" That explains his willingness to sin. "You're a virtuous woman for keeping to your vows, but I am by no means a virtuous man." His intent to court me is not pure. It's certainly from his heart, but his cause is not only for my love. There's something that he must prove to me now... Whether his will is enough to turn me against my virtues. With each passing day I'm growing more weary that it might be. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cover art by Erika De Luca on ArtStation This story if the first of a series Word Count: 147,000 Please read the introduction for triggers!

'For The Mafia' Series - Book 1 of 3! ~~~ "Down on your knees." He lets go of my hair and pushes my shoulders down roughly, before unbuttoning and shrugging off his shirt. I kneel in front of him and instantly unbuckle his belt and unzip his black pants. He watches me eagerly from above, keeping his hands to his side, letting me lead. "Are you jealous when I flirt with those men for information?" I bat my eyes up at him innocently as I pull his pants down to his knees. His face hardens as he considers my question. "I don't like your hands on them." He grumbles and I smirk. I already knew the answer. "I do it for you, Enzo." I remind him as I move my mouth closer to him. "Only me." He growls as he pulls my head forward, closing the space between us. ~~~ When a dangerous mafia leader meets this particular stripper, he learns she is anything but.

Dedication: To Michael, Ralf,Collen&Amaya. I wouldn't have done this without your unwavering support and love. Thank you. To my readers; This is an escape. A place to let you imagination wonder. There is no place like the imagined one🧡💛🧡 Hope you enjoy. Share. Like. Comment. In the sunlit streets of Bari, Italy, Mukeni Kamau carves out a life of her own-an art studio filled with color, independence, and defiance. But the world she's built begins to fracture the night Matteo Romano walks into her father's hospital room. Matteo is everything she should avoid: the arrogant heir to a criminal empire, a man whose wealth and influence make him untouchable, whose rosary beads cannot disguise the blood on his hands. Yet beneath his cold arrogance lies a hunger Mukeni cannot ignore-and a power she cannot escape. When rival gangs abduct Mukeni to strike at her father's hidden debts, Matteo's obsession ignites into fury. Days bleed into weeks as he hunts for her, unraveling in violence and prayer, the memory of her lips haunting his every breath. And when Mukeni returns-scarred but unbroken-their collision burns hotter than ever, blurring the line between love and possession, freedom and ruin. But in Matteo's world, desire comes with a price. His enemies circle closer. Mukeni's father hides secrets that could destroy them all. And the man who cannot live without her may be the one who drags her deepest into the darkness. A story of obsession, betrayal, and forbidden love-ALLURE is a dark romance where survival means surrender, and passion is the most dangerous weapon of all.
