Tick.
Tick.
Tick.
Was the only sound that echoed throughout the room - the twins, a man, One, and a woman, Zero - laid awake in their respective beds waiting. Waiting for the sound the clock would make, mark the start of their escape plan.
The same plan they have been working on since their family's corporation had taken out the only other corporation in Pravilum.
On the eve of her wedding night to the heir of The Deluge Corp. La Infamous Incorporated made the fateful move that was a long time coming. After all, the two had at one time teamed up a long time ago to 'remove' the other two corporations; Sinclairen Industries and Orithy pharmaceuticals.
Zero had loved him dearly and it had hurt like no other when her Father came home with a grin on his face. The same grin on his face that he always wore around her and her brother when he was exquisitely happy. When she was younger it would make her smile.

The Start of the World
(Imperium Saga, Book 1) Know your enemy before you pull the trigger. Edith Stewart just wanted a simple life with her family. But, thanks to her twisted society, her plans were forced to change. Being randomly selected to be the test subject of a dangerous experiment wasn't her idea of a simple life, but refusing to cooperate puts the lives of her family in danger. But she was deceived. Her husband and son shot right before her eyes the moment before she's sent forward to a different reality. A future unlike anything she could have ever planned for. The Synthetic Revolution of Life, or the SRL, was the true result of the experiment. Synthetic life, people, have taken her world. It was the creators of the SRL that sent her here, and even though they've all been dead for 177 years, maybe their technology can send her back to before the world ended. Taking a direct stand against the SRL seems like a death sentence, but with the right friends, it's bound to get a little easier.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
The Black Tapes: Or, How the Bouncer Bounced Back
All is provided, yet everything is lacking. The Metro is the plenum, a future-city of color and exuberance, but its citizens are full of violence and greed. If there is any hope for peace it lies with the Iris, a machine that can link the minds of every human-being to create a single mind, a single energy. Someone just has to push the button. Sean, born into this world of hate, sets out to do the impossible: to take the data he has stolen off the internet and turn on the Iris. His journey will set off one of the greatest rat-chases the Metro has ever seen. All the big players are in on it, to stop or help Sean's mad rush to the Iris. There's Casey with her army of gangsters, who wants nothing else but to make sure the Metro stays a jungle. There's Randal the mutant, a creature of nightmare surrounded by other misbegotten souls, cursed with an inexplicable fate. And then there's Tommy the Bouncer, Tommy the Butcher, Tommy the Terrible, who just wants to beat everything to a bloody pulp. These players and more all have their eyes on the prize: the Black Tape, the switch that if flicked may set off an age of no-death. Maybe. In the end, Sean will discover that the Metro might be too far gone. Hope's slim, but it's there. He just has to try. Easier said than done.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
The Last Tree
Nearly seventy years ago, the nukes landed on London and the German Reich achieved victory in The Second Weltkrieg. The United States, strangled by sectarian violence and ideological struggle, watched from afar as the fascist eagle rose over the old world. A cold war froze the trade lanes of the Atlantic and the threat of mutually assured destruction kept the two titans from clashing, but now the war has begun to thaw. The Fuhrer of the Germans has taken his own life, and his empire is consumed by slave revolts and the liberal ideas of the new generation. For the first time in nearly a century, the path to freedom is open for the remnants of old Europe. In America, all pretense of unity has been abandoned. The nation has split into numerous successor states and micro-countries, all claiming legitimacy, and with some having the teeth to back it. Millions of refugees flee Europe as the old world burns in the greatest civil war in all of human history, and in the south of what was once the United States, a lone mercenary by the name of Carter takes a job that will change the fate of his home, a megacity called the Nash, forever.
My Husband, My lecturer - Bound Before Word 2
Krist grew up with a constant shadow-his overprotective, quietly perfect older brother, Singto. But what he never knew was that Singto had been waiting for him his entire life. As fated mates bound by destiny, Singto chose patience over passion, holding back for years while Krist grew up unaware of the bond between them. Now 18 and newly enrolled in university, Krist moves in with Singto-his husband, his lecturer, and the alpha who has always waited. As crushes bloom into clarity and past journals are uncovered, the line between family, fate, and forever begins to blur. But loving your fated mate isn't always easy-especially when he's the one who held back for so long. Slow burn. Domestic fluff. Deep bond. Fated love. Because sometimes, home isn't a place-it's a person.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
Scent of Forever
Author's Note: This story is an expansion of one of my KristSingto one-shots. What started as a quick idea from my collection has grown into a full-length fic exploring enemies-to-lovers, corporate intrigue, and the chaos of an unwanted fated bond. If you've read my one-shot version, you'll recognize some of the beats-this is the extended universe version with all the drama dialed up. Synopsis Krist Perawat only wanted to survive corporate life-not get shackled to the Alpha he hates most. Singto Prachaya, heir to a business empire, swore he'd never bow to instinct. But when a fated bond snaps them together in the middle of boardroom politics, contracts and suppressants can't undo biology. Now they're bound by law, scent, and fate itself-whether they like it or not. Enemies. Mates. Until death do them apart.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
Grid: Omnipotence Series
In the year 2136, the city of Echelon Prime stands as both a marvel of neon progress and a prison of control. Ruled by the omniscient Architect, a cyber-god who bends every system to his will, the city's citizens live under constant surveillance, their freedoms erased in exchange for order. Amid the towering spires and glitching holograms, whispers of rebellion stir in the undercity, where resistance fighters seek to fracture the Architect's grip. At the heart of this struggle is Nocturnal, an engineer by day and a shadowed vigilante by night, armed with his inventions and the loyalty of his companion Pancho. But Echelon Prime's problems run deeper than tyranny alone-vengeful outcasts like Remnant, cold enforcers, and even the unstable interference of the omnipotent anti-hero Infinite threaten to tip the balance into chaos. As readers enter this fractured world, they will follow Nocturnal's journey through betrayal, shifting alliances, and impossible choices, fighting not only for freedom but to uncover what it truly means to resist in a city built to never let go.
Turing Test
In the year 2150, emotions are a forgotten language. Feelings, outlawed. Humanity, reduced to an unfeeling, cold existence under the iron rule of The Regimen. But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli. In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom. Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule. As Cora navigates the thrilling highs and devastating lows of human emotion, a choice looms - return to a life devoid of feelings, or risk everything for the rebellion and the tantalizing promise of emotional freedom. --------------- A 10 part seriesAbgeschlossene Geschichte
Outland: Red Ledgers of a Demon Hunter
Terra Firma is gone. Mankind has descended. Demons rule the new world. In the aftermath of Biblical Desolation, Man's last dregs have fled to Outland---an accursed realm beneath the Earth, ruled by the Demonic forces of Chaos. Two factions, the Tantalus Consortium and the Terran Republic, battle each other and the uncanny frontiers around them in endless cycles of war. Demons, garbed in man-made flesh, wander the haunted places of this world, seeking whom they may devour. But God is not silent in the face of His people's suffering. Judges, chosen by the Angels, and their Slayer attendants follow these evils into their unholy lairs, steering both empires toward the light as Demons vie to keep humanity trapped in the dark. Two wars, one material and one spiritual, forever ravage the landscape, every new battle threatening to be the one that finishes what Desolation started. The Judges sponsored many great heroes, but none so well-known as Alptraum the Chaos-Eater--a Nephilim warrior from another realm who turned his back on sin and swore his sword to the Lord, becoming one of God's most fearsome warriors against creatures of the night. The Chaos-Eater fell contending for the faith, but he is succeeded by a son, hardened by strife and ordained by tragedy to follow on his warpath. This man, armed with a Heaven-forged Magic Sword, will wade knee-deep into the legions of the damned, carving a path toward salvation for all who cry out in direst need. He is Tony Slade, Exiled Ranger of the Terran Republic, and these are the stories that began his legend. For fans of Gothic horror with a cyberpunk twist, adrenaline-pumping action, and wholesome family values. Expect violence, heinous cruelty, the best and worst of humanity in unflinching detail, constant drug abuse, and a distressing lack of diplomatic solutions to interpersonal conflicts. This is your first and only warning.
Mated by Mistake (But I'm Keeping Him)
Krist has been in love with Singto since forever. So when their meddling mothers fake a family emergency to accidentally-on-purpose arrange their mating, Krist is over the moon. Singto? Not so much. He's an Alpha with a plan, a Beta girlfriend, and zero interest in being tied down to a clingy, sweet-smelling Omega freshman. But after one surprise bond, one heatwave, and way too many shared nesting accidents, things start to heat up-literally and emotionally. Now stuck in the same dorm, with jealous exes, nosy classmates, and instincts that refuse to behave, can this mismatched pair turn a fake bond into real love? A slow-burn, laugh-out-loud Omegaverse rom-com where love might be fated... but falling for your mate is definitely optional.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
