17 year old Morrigan Heather's life has been nothing but abnormal so far, from the departure of her father and death of her sister along with living with the governments crazy system, she has hardly had a minute of normality.
The "Engraved System" was created by the government to reduce the Earth's risk of overpopulation. Everyone is automatically born with an unique mark, how they did this is still left a mystery and the only other person with a matching mark was your "soulmate" and you were not permitted to love or even kiss anyone else or you could kiss your life goodbye. It has been a law for so long that human's are on the brink of extinction.
Mori soon realises that what she originally thought about the world she lived in was completely wrong, that her place in the world was so much more important then she ever imagined and that humans are not the only ones suffering.

UNGIFTED
Gifts and soulmates were common currency in Donumdell. From a very young age, that was all its citizens were instilled with. And each and every one of them knew that at some point in their lives, especially between the ages of twelve and twenty-five, they were bound to receive both marks on their wrist. One, in a black tone, denoted the type of gift they had been given at birth. And the second one, in a white tone, dictated that whoever shared that same mark was bound to be their soulmate and with whom they would spend the rest of their lives. But what happens when someone does not receive any kind of mark? How does a society ruled and ranked by those marks react when faced with the presence of someone like that? Especially when it is the daughter of an important family in the community who is about to reach the age limit and there are still no signs of them ever appearing.

(18+) *Complete/Unedited* ---- "You are death." I heard the grin in his tone. "Death's duty is to take care of the already departed. Newly deceased, and previously deceased alike." ***** Morrigan Wraith lives a double life; one not many would think to question. While on the outside she looks like a normal human detective, underneath all of that lies a grim reaper. Reapers were created at the beginning of time, formed to be unemotional and detached as a soul's transport to either Heaven or Hell. But Morrigan is unlike the rest. She was created with a defective heart - one that felt emotion, and one that got her into more trouble than she ever imagined. (18+ for language, violence, and sexual situations)Complete
