> "If you're looking for a hero in a cape... close this tab."
Rhett Darvet isn't the chosen one.
He's the one the universe chose by mistake.
A high school delinquent with a brain, a mouth, and zero patience for fake heroes who exist mangas and anime- Rhett's life takes a sharp turn when a failed murder attempt leaves him alive... and different.
While others dream of saving lives and posing for cameras, Rhett's idea of heroism is simple - save both lives and property, or don't call yourself a hero at all.
But when society starts labeling him a menace and villains begin seeing him as an idealist, Rhett realizes that being "super" isn't about power - it's about proof.
And in a world that worships lies and clichés, Redline is here to break them all.

Black & White
A story, in which a typical teenage girl falls for the school's bad boy. Except, she's not that typical and he's not that much of a bad boy. *** "If I told you that I care about you, more than anyone in your life does, would you believe me?" He asked me, his jaw clenched. I could tell he was furious. Yet somehow, I wasn't scared of him. "No" I shook my head bravely. "If I told you,'' He tried again, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before continuing.''That you make me so fucking mad, I want to punch a fucking wall. What would you say?" He had me trapped now, my back painfully colliding with the wall behind me. I gasped at the impact, looking up into his icy grey eyes. They were cold, emotionless. As always. "Do it!" I dared him with the last ounce of courage I had left in me. The sound of his fist smashing through the wall right next to my head, made my ears ring for a brief moment. I opened my mouth to speak again, shaking slightly, only for him to pull away and leave me standing there alone. ____ !!Warning!!

Virtue [NEW]
I didn't come here to make friends. I came to the academy to start a war. Luxbridge Academy isn't what they all think it is: a prestigious school created to right the wrongs of troubled kids. It's built to turn people like me into weapons-cold, obedient, deadly. And I was ready for that. What I wasn't ready for was him. My rival. My roommate. My biggest mistake. He's reckless, infuriating, impossible to ignore, and the one person I can't afford to distract me. But in a place where pain is currency and loyalty gets you killed, he became my only real ally. We were never meant to trust each other. Never meant to care. Definitely never meant to fall. But we did. We escaped the cage. We thought that was the end. It wasn't. Because fate doesn't break the rules. It breaks you. Content Warning: This story contains scenes of violence, psychological distress, and references to abuse that may be distressing or triggering for some readers. Reader discretion is advised.
The Life of a Villain
Aren't you ever tired of the same old super hero story? The hero is cool looking with bulging muscles, and always wins. Like, always. Even if the situation is dire and it all seems lost. All the sudden, freaking deus ex machina. And the villain is either some super nerd, or a loser. Do you have any idea how stereotypical that is? Hero=jock/bully. Villain=nerd/loser. But not this time. This is a new story. The Life of a Villain. Part 1: This is a story about Leonardo Sutton a.k.a Knifeslinger, an 18 year old villain out for revenge for his family's death. He goes undercover at Ravenswood Academy where he meets new friends and old friends, and an evil plot that could shake the world. Part 2: Life was finally starting to settle down(ish) in the few days of freedom, but of course normality can't be something for ex-villain Leonardo Sutton. When an alien invasion is imminent, Leo must be Knifeslinger again, and work with Team Amazing to stop the Disastrous Nuclear Anthropoid and his planet of people. #1 in #supervillain 7/5/2020Complete
Billionaire Next Door✔
I shrunk back into my seat as his head snapped towards me. He looked like his head was going to fall off. His eyes were blazing with rage. His face was set into an icy glare. His fists that rested on the table were clenched so hard his knuckles were white. As he stood from his chair so did I. I felt like the prey to the biggest predator in the jungle. I took two steps back for every stride he took towards me. I gulped again before shaking me head. "She's just joking Ace." my voice quivered as I took another two steps back. "How do I know that?" he sneered down at me, his body towering over me. As I went to take another step backwards, my back made contact with the wall behind me. Well great. Now I'm cornered.

In 2123, being a Pro Hero is the dream for a majority of the world. Who wouldn't want to get paid to save hot girls AND be a celebrity? Leo Lambert, that's who. Sure, he's got a Gift, and yeah, he's got a knack for saving people. But Leo would rather keep his head down and mouth running than play nice for the press. It's too bad for him that his instincts don't believe in having an easy life. After being (illegally?) drafted by an Underground Pro, he's neck-deep in a conspiracy no one wants to talk about; chasing down missing kids while the people in charge look the other way. His mentor is hiding something, and the villains are hiding in plain sight. He just didn't expect them to be wearing the very same capes he looked up to. --- What to Expect: - Sarcastic but emotionally vulnerable MC - Power system with social consequences - Fast-paced action and character-driven drama - Found family - Heavy themes: identity, justice, trauma, and self-worth - LGBTQ+ rep - Manga/anime tone with a Western twist
