"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.

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
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

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

The other believes in tearing it down. As Max's manifesto unfolds through hijacked airwaves and coordinated chaos, Fred and his team find themselves caught in the crossfire of ancient tech, cosmic powers, and the ghosts of Earth's forgotten past.

But fate doesn't ask for permission. With humanity on the brink and loyalties fracturing, the Retaliants must decide: Do you retaliate to protect the world you know? Or fight to create the world it should've been?Complete
