Two scavengers discover an abandoned Ares blacksite in the Deep Black, unlocking a forgotten navigation system that can rewrite how ships move through space-if it doesn't kill them first. What begins as a routine salvage run becomes a race against silence, syndicate hunters, and buried war tech as the crew of the Nightjar awaken something old enough to remember how the universe used to be drawn.

The Devil's Angel
It was a Sunday night, family night for the Greens. They were playing a board game when it happened. At exactly 11:11 pm; a time for wishes, a sixteen year old girl wished for true love one day. At that exact moment her window smashed and something flew into her room. It was a flock of them; they attracted the house and only took one thing: the girl. She remembers it clearly, the way she screamed scared out of her mind. The way it grabbed her waist and took off. She remembers screaming for help but no one came to her rescue. Oh how she wishes that she left her safety knife in her room. Then they would be safe. Her family! She just hopes they were fine, but the conclusion that she was taken says that her family would be back to normal soon. She sighs and thinks over her life. From a little kid she was always the loner. But her family loved her to death. It all changed when she turned ten. The world was changing. She remembers the exact day at the exact time. Her birthday; she calls it the hell day. Something bad always happens on her birthday and that year was the worst so far. On February 20/2020 at exactly 2:20 On the news they had let out the horrible announcement. Scientist's experiments had gone wrong. They call them the "Stone Devils". They were escaping from the labs and into our world. Made of stone and all male. Winged creatures that come into the night. Steal and kill their prey. That's what she heard but she didn't believe it until a few nights ago. (kinda like the movie Warm Bodies)Complete
The Solace Chronicles
Not so long ago, humanity fought the gods above them. The war against the Ethereals was long and bloody, and only the discovery of magic saved humanity from total annihilation. With the fusion of magic and technology, they clawed their way to a stalemate; in time, the war was over. Humanity had secured their freedom...or so they thought. The Ethereal War changed life on Earth forever. The world is now plagued by glyphstorms-- constant, magic-infused dust storms that drive those who linger too long to insanity. Traveling within them is thought to be impossible, and the only shelter comes in the form of magical shield domes over humanity's cities. Progress is rapid, yet isolated to pockets of civilization. In the same world where some people thrive, many others struggle, their spirits kept alive only by the hope of a better future. But the future is uncertain; until humanity can discover the secrets of shield tech and brave the storms that divide them, they will never be truly free. ------- This is a collection of short stories that take place within Solace, a fictional science-fantasy setting I have been working on since January 2025. This is not the mainline story, but may involve side plots, alternate perspectives of story events, etc. Basically this is my way of getting back into writing on Wattpad and having a catch-all for any short stories related to Solace. This will be updated as I go, and I'd love to hear feedback! [This cover is a placeholder and I don't take credit for the art. It was taken from a copyright-free source]
System Glitch: Book 1 The Thief
This is a story I started writing a while back, on a different platform. I am working to rewrite it in a clearer RPG style. I originally wrote about 70 chapters. I will steadily work to rewrite these chapters and continue on the story. Jace is the most notorious thief in New Syndralis, a nineteen-year-old prodigy living on the adrenaline of the perfect heist. His target: the impenetrable HexGate Corporation, where the data on Project Hermes-a groundbreaking AI-promises to be his ticket out of the shadows. But Jace doesn't just steal the data; he steals a catastrophe. Captured by a glowing artifact deep within the HexGate vault, Jace is imbued with a bizarre, game-like "Stealing System." Now, a cold, metallic voice guides him, enabling him to literally swipe anything-a guard's eyesight, access codes, even raw strength-to level up from a humiliating F-Rank. To survive, Jace must embrace his new power. Breaking free of HexGate, he builds a team of high-tech allies to wage a secret war for the soul of the city. From brutal street gangs and powerful mobs to corrupt government officials, cyborgs, and mutants, every enemy is a chance to level up. Jace was hired to steal a secret. Now, the System will make him the city's greatest weapon.
Menta-Life (Book 1)
"Welcome to the Menta-Life Corporation, where your dreams mean everything." A war has crippled the Earth and destroyed the lives of millions. From the ashes, the Menta-Life corporation has found a way to rebuild what the world has lost by allowing people to live out alternate destinies through their dreams. Yet, in the depths beneath the city, the population of brain-drained former prodigies is growing. Is the Menta-Life corporation all that they claim to be, or are they stealing ideas from the very people they claim to serve? Fresh from an unplanned prison break, Vanessa Pheros refuses to answer to anyone or anything, except her greed. But when Van returns to her former life as a runner, it soon becomes clear that something much greater than money is at stake. She has been personally drawn into a conspiracy involving the Menta-Life corporation. Along with fellow runner, Dayio, and with the help of a few colorful friends from her past, Van must race to confront her own ideals - and her own past - in order to survive in this futuristic sci-fi adventure.Complete
ECLIPSE OF INFINITY
In the city of Aeteris, a futuristic metropolis protected by plasma domes from the wrath of interstellar storms, Ethan Solis stumbles upon an ancient alien artifact-the Arc-Helix-while scavenging a forgotten junkyard. What should have been just another relic of the past instead fuses with his very being, rewriting his genetic code and granting him unimaginable abilities. But power comes with a cost. As Ethan struggles to control his newfound energy manipulation and heightened cognition, an AI embedded in the Arc-Helix, Nyx, begins guiding him. Soon, he is thrust into a conflict far beyond his world. The Arc-Helix was once wielded by a legendary warrior who safeguarded the multiverse-now, Ethan is the reluctant heir to this responsibility. But forces are already moving against him. The Syntherion Collective, a ruthless organization bent on harnessing the multiverse's instability for ultimate power, will stop at nothing to claim the Arc-Helix. With danger looming, Ethan must forge unlikely alliances, uncover long-buried secrets, and push his limits to prevent the Fracture, a cataclysm that threatens to collapse reality itself. As he reaches the limits of his abilities, he faces a terrifying choice: unlock the Arc-Helix's final form, risking his humanity in the process, or sacrifice his power to save existence. Either way, Ethan's fate is set-he will either become the savior of infinity or be consumed by it.Complete

Darling In The Stranxx || 016 x 002 ||
|| You probably think it was a typo in the title, but I meant to put that there for a reason || Read to find out ;) ____________________________________________________ A normal planet with a modern society, that is until 50,000 years ago, a strange meteorite crashed upon Earth and leaked its metallic liquid. The man who discovered it decided to make the metallic liquid into arrows. He then buried them underneath his homeland and in the year 2000, it was eventually discovered and monstrous beings called "Klaxosaurs" begin appearing. The arrows were a sign of hope as when exposed to the air, it chose which people to grant powers from. A visual manifestation of life energy to the user. Ordinary people cannot see it, but people who were granted with these powers can see it. It could not be harm by ordinary things, only other special people can hurt it. This was known as a Stranxx, and people who were granted these powers used it to kill the infestation of Klaxosaur. Some used it for good, some used it for bad but they didn't know that there would be a school just to train your Stranxx and fight Klaxosaurs. Thus we focus on our main protagonist, Hiro. He is Stranxxless but he has a dream, and that dream is to be known as the #1 Hero that destroys Klaxosaurs in one swoop. So he thinks that the program will help him fight the Klaxosaurs. Who knows what will happen.Complete
