"The Veres Foundation - Using our art for the betterment of humanity."
The Veres Foundation is a multi-national, American based corporation, with fingers in every major enterprise. Appliances, smart phones, television, cars, medical and bio-technology. This is all to fund their true purpose - the study of the Extraordinary
By their definition, the Extraordinary are things that appear fantastical, but can be explained using science. They seek to use the Extraordinary as a means of control, foot-soldiers and mercenaries armed with the best they have to offer, serving out the company's will.
As 2029 nears its end, 5 people try to escape and resist the evils of the Foundation - A pair of lab-grown children, far stronger than anything the company has made before; a washed up detective, out for vengeance; and a mercenary who can't pick a side... and one, who's simply out of place.
This story is part of a shared universe I have with my friends, and will be updated sporadically, due to school and work. Welcome to the Minutes to Midnight universe.

Please spare me, Villain!
Imagine, just for a second, let's imagine you end up somehow travelling into your favourite book. Then you started working your magic and you cosy up to the male lead who was supposed to get you killed or you make the demon lord fall in love with you so he can protect you from your imminent death. And woah you got your happy ending. But now let's imagine a completely different scenario where you end up in a book you read like 10 pages of (including the ending). And you find yourself literally dropped into the lap of a psychopathic rival who enjoys just a teeny bit of bloodshed. He's also the guy who killed your favourite character and not to mention you. But then you hold on for a second because you realise you're not dead and he wants to use you as an immortal tool to sharpen his aim. Well that's the story I ended up living in. And I've got one request from Mr. Villain over there, please spare me!Complete
Down With The Puppeteer
(Temporary Cover) NIGHTMARE has everything he could ever want- power, godhood, a bloodline, total control, and a partner who worships his every step. He had a few inconveniences along the way, but he could handle them with ease. His focus is now on raising his daughter and taking care of his wife and team. Despite being much more relaxed, he's still willing CORE FRISK is the only surviving hero. The Star Sanses and even Error are either dead, infected, or brainwashed. They're running the DRA, the Doodlesphere Rescue Alliance, and have three current goals. One, find a cure to the parasite running rampant through the multiverse. Two, find a way to save their friends from Nightmare's mind control. Three, kill the king himself and restore peace to everyone. But that . . . is much more difficult than they can manage. DREAM is the heartless ruler of the Omega Timeline. Trapped under Nightmare's spell, he has no empathy for anyone. He hasn't had any for the past 7 years. Yet something still haunts him. The cursed gold heart locket he always wore, that he hated, yet couldn't find the heart to get rid of. It gave him the motivation to fight back, so did the corruption in his soul and his smoking addiction slowly killing him.
The Nost
Jack and Ann have taken me on a great adventure full of mystery and incredible technology, I hope you'll join us. I know you have a lot of reading choices, but if you have space left in your literary adventure cup, please join Jack and Ann as 2021 turns into 2022, happy reading! __ The demon whispers inside Jack's mind. "They are not worthy, they are cattle, these new humans you covet. The so-called creator has betrayed you, replaced you with these organic imitations. Slaughter them all." It's funny, not in a ha-ha funny way, but a sad, my madness doesn't make sense type of way, Jack thinks, because wasn't he human? Worse still, the voice comes with impulses that are hard to resist. Violence usually ensues. That's why he joined the military. A way to channel his urges into mind-numbing physical effort and war. It works for a time. But alcohol and fighting can only carry on for so long. Finally, he realizes, his only way out is suicide. But when he opens his eyes, he's in the In-Between. The creator has other plans for him, and she won't take no for an answer. Apparently, this isn't his first life and if he doesn't free her from her prison, it won't be his last. His curse is to be reborn without end, without rest, without memory. Only madness. Now Jack is on the run from forces he doesn't understand. It's a new world. The mundane replaced by ethereal artificial intelligence, spontaneous virtual realities, and homicidal bible salesmen. But the creator promises the demon's voice will disappear as soon as he finds the right girl, the right bond. After that, they just have to escape the clutches of those who hunt them, find the Isle of Song, and free the creator from her prison. Or maybe this time, in this life, Jack will figure out what true freedom is. Come along on this action-packed thriller as Jack fights to remember who he is, tries to end an eternal war, and atone for sins he doesn't remember...yet.Complete![Under Ground [1.]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/120178447-256-k452608.jpg)
Under Ground [1.]
It's been centuries since the era we are currently living in. Mother Nature took everything in her hands and punished humanity for everything they did over the past few years. British scientists suspect the existence of a supernatural that could return all to normal so they send a small group of experts in the underground where they are forced to face the evil. Their goal is to get out alive, but are they strong enough to do it or strength has nothing with it?Complete
Dreamscape
These puny citizens of Dreamscape live boring, dreadful lives. Everyday it's the same deal. So I decided to add a little fun into the recipe... There's five of them. Five of them that can beat me. If they combine their strengths and smarts, they can kill me. This is the one apocalypse I can ever be stopped. If they can't stop me now, I will be infinite. But don't worry, there's a slim chance I will be beaten. It's been millenniums since I've destroyed a universe, so this should be fun!Complete
No Superheroes Allowed
Long ago a group of superheroes and villains worked together to prevent an invasion. But they managed to kill more people than they saved. Their destruction caused the perception of those with powers to dramatically shift; to the point of outcast. 50 years later crime as only increased to the point where not even the police respond to calls. Few heroes went into hiding to 'play normal'; like my family and I. I live in New Haven City. I've been lucky enough that I don't have powers that attract too much attention --- Everything was going great. Everything was normal. Until Jamie was forced to confront the reality of her situation. The mayor who has been running the NSA was beginning to take drastic measures. Sending many supers off to another island. Stealing their powers. Forcing others to betray their own kind. The victims of these horrific acts are not taking that lightly. Why not make a team of heroes? A team that doesnt give a shit what the NSA or the Mayor has to say. A team of young teens who probably don't even listen to each other. That will save the world...Complete
