I wasn't always born this way. My life was normal until that day. I have gotten used to my powers by now, I have even started using them in my daily life. It wasn't always this way though. It all started a while ago. A giant explosion went off in downtown New York, sending a shockwave through the earth, creating many conduits like us. But, that was almost two hundred years ago. Now they can make us like this. In schools around the world, if they see you with the gene they will give you a serum which changes you to your "natural" power. I wasn't created like this. I was one of the first conduits that were created. Of course no one knows this. The only other conduit in the school that I know of, is a boy, although I don't think he knows of me yet. I usually keep to myself, not wanting to attract any unnecessary attention. I don't have many friends and I have noticed that he didn't either. It mostly looks like the jocks all want to be his "friend" although I just heard he has super strength. I see him breaking pencils all the time... I would be embarrassed if that happened to me... I have a less obvious power: telepathy. I don't like to show it off but sometimes I will use it if I am in class and my hand gets tired, I will use it to write so I can give my hand a rest. It seems he likes to show off though. Always trying to beat people at arm wrestling, I don't like it very much... It is kind of funny though... I might go say hi later. Who knows he could be a good person underneath that layer of cockyness.

Have you ever had one of those terrible yet annoyingly pivotal moments? You know, that monumental fragment of time that flips everything you have ever known. That plot twist second that completely takes you by surprise. The one just before the storm hits and everything goes to hell. Yes? Because you see, that moment happens to be my whole damn life. It wasn't always like this though. I used to have a pretty mundane existence, happy to just get good grades and be around my friends. God I wish I could get that simplicity back, I'd never complain it was boring again. But I know I'm not going to ever get back my old life because well... I died. (Kinda) But I woke up. And I was thrilled, beyond grateful I wasn't dead. But then I realized that there was one minor detail that had changed about my reality. I was given the chance to live but it turns out I woke up as the villainess in an otome game my friend used to be obsessed with - Kingdom of freaking Hearts (I added the freaking in there for effect, it's just Kingdom of Hearts) Where, for the record, the villainess only has two possible endings 1) execution and 2) getting exiled. So Fate was like, "Don't worry, I'll save you. Here's a chance to live" and then was like "psyche, screw you. You're still going to die but I'll let you suffer a little first." So now, if only to annoy Fate by proving it wrong, I am determined to survive. I can and I will if I play by these simple rules: 1) Befriend Heroin 2) Avoid Aryn Edwards at All Costs as well as other capture targets And 3) Be the top student at the academy and become an invaluable asset to my Kingdom so I become indispensable, thus unkillable. I'm determined, stubborn, persistent and I will live passed 16. Fate made a big mistake setting me up to die. Since it threw this plot twist at me, I figure I'll return the favor. I'll be the biggest plot twist Fate never saw coming...
How The Bad Boy Found True Love.
I watched him watch me as he was about to press his fist into the big red button that read "Emergency Fire!". I was unable to form words because, I thought about how hot he looked as he stared back at me with such intensity. It just intrigued me. I finally snapped out of my trance, but not because I'd came to my senses, but because I felt a cold sensation running down my body. I blinked about three times before it finally registered that he'd pressed the button and now water was spilling from the roof, and some students were laughing and playing. My breath hitched in my throat as he came closer. "You really should've worn a more, I don't know, a thicker shirt or bra. Because your two lovely friends are standing at attention." as the words left his mouth, realization caught up to me and I flushed with embarrassment and quickly crossed my arms over my chest. Talk about scarred for life! Jerk. Meet Charm Mill, your typical nerdface. She's the smartest girl in school, straight A's, great punctuality.. eveything in the book. She's also the invisible girl. No one notices her. But, for her, that's a great thing. She feels that going unnoticed means less drama, which is correct. But, what happens when Heath Cullen gets himself in trouble because he's not performing the way he should and the principal forces Charm to tutor him? Will this be a ticket to hell or a ticket for the bad boy to find his true love? Copyrighted. Β©Complete
Because of you, I can see the colors of the rainbow
A/N This book is completed, and you will not receive any more bonus chapters. My name is Grey Mercy, it's like my parents knew I was going to be one of them. You see the world I live in 1% of the population can't see color unless they meet their soulmate and touch them. It can be as simple as a handshake, as long as your skin comes in contact that's all that matters. They are also infertile unless it's with their soulmate. Most people never find their mate, and they die alone and depressed. I was content to live my life in a greyscale world. That is until I crashed into a guy running from people that were chasing him. His lips landed on mine and suddenly I could see the sky, it was a color I couldn't even describe, but it was beautiful. 33k words As per the norm with my books, it's a reverse harem with the BTS members. Lot's of smut scenes so please don't read unless you are over 18.Complete
Cold Fire Rising
This story is a rewrite of a fanfic I wrote in 1998, popular in the TMNT fandom. I have been getting emails from strangers asking me for "Cold Fire" or to write a new story in the same world, a world in which Michelangelo gains telekinetic and telepathic powers via alien technology but at a nearly fatal price. Angst, Tragedy, and Hurt/Comfort were my Tropes to play with. Mikey got hurt a lot. But being psionic helps delay death, you know? Now I get to play with the 2012 reboot from Nick. Despite my skepticism, it really grew on me. Mikey has freckles! And huge bright blue eyes! And he's the comedic prankster with secret brilliant intelligence, the loud silly annoying weird hedonist with ADHD and natural ninja skills who could be the most powerful martial artist if he'd concentrate his potential. It irritated me at first when April O'Neil was brought in as a hybrid teen human with Kraang DNA and psychic powers. But once it was established that in Dimension X, Michelangelo was very powerful, I realized that potentially, Mikey could also have Kraang DNA, which is why he is able to navigate Dimension X as if it were his natural state. "Hey, in crazy backwards land, crazy backwards dude is king." And it does make me wonder if the writers will actually touch upon that. If Mikey really has Utrom DNA, and if it is activated, would he be potentially psychic? I'm not waiting to find out. This story takes place in the middle of Season 4. But I imagine they could take a break for a few months to deal with... um... this. It's technically an AU since I ignore and expand the canon six months. Warnings for gore, violence, language, descriptions of medical procedures. Hallucinations and creepy nightmares abound. I get very rough with Mikey and his brain.)Complete
Dreamoria - Echoes from the Beyond
Imagine this: drifting off to sleep, only to awaken in a world beyond your wildest dreams. You find yourself in a different civilization, at different point in time, where magic is a part of daily life with extraordinary laws of physics. There, free energy powers everything, immortality is a given, telepathy, telekinesis, elemental mastery and manipulation of matter are facts of reality. A realm where the science of interstellar and interdimensional space travel is taught in schools and vacations are spent on other planets of different galaxies in multiple universes. Pain and sickness are non existent and light energy (intelligent and infinitely abundant in the multiverse) creates all you'll ever need. You regularly reunite with loved ones from the past and future, living in harmony, never aging and angels are amongst the general population. That, is part of the reality I call my life - more specifically, since my 13th birthday. Before understanding what it all meant, I had to go through some experiences - a subtle and gradual initiation, which shifted my beliefs and ways of how I approached/ viewed the world. My conclusion: Now, currently 33 years old (in 2024), I feel comfortable with the research I've done, reaching a point where reality to me - is the dream and the dreams, are the real reality! And, it all started with that one vision I got, as I had just turned 13. It made life look like a big simulation, partly fabricated... like in a game. Thus, I am writing this book as a kind of journal/ a collection of the key dreams, visions and astral travels I have had - all filled with adventure, magic, romance and experiences from parallel lives that helped me explore the true nature of humanity within all of creation. I could as well be super-crazy but... I will leave that to you, to decide. Just take it all in with a hint of skepticism, self-discernment and an open mind. May this help you discover your magic within. Aaannnnd, have fun reading ;)
The Obsessive Villainess Vol. 1 β
"Don't touch that man." "Why not?" "He has a beast guarding him." I am that beast; Nora. I woke up as the villain of this book, destined to die after going crazy due to my love for the main lead. "I spent my last life wanting to die, and now that I've decided to survive, this world is after me?" No. I won't die such a pathetic death. I will survive this time. No matter what. But first, I need to survive these main leads. One won't leave me alone; the other keeps fighting with me; another is destined to kill me... Even my superpowers are so weak! Surviving in a world that hates me... Is kinda difficult. *** I got tired of reading about 'special' and 'pure-hearted' heroines so I decided to write about a character I could relate to. Writing gets better after first few chapters. [#1 Angst] [#1 Obsession] [#2 Yandere] [#1 Villain] [#1 Antagonist] [#1 Superpowers]Complete
Isekai dump
crappy isekai MC's that don't have progress, so, I call them one-shots, despite having an outline and plot that I don't want to write out. "What up. It's me, truck-(put honorific here), the god. it was never about how many people I crashed into, it was about how delusional you were. the man behind the wheel, well, he has it worse than those transmigration systems. both immortal but one more mentally fatal." tf. my head hurts. Anyway, wrote some of these in a certain state of mind that is so completely removed from clarity, so sometimes I'll backtrack and make a face knowing I don't remember writing that. tldr- drafts. I know you may be attracted to the girlxgirl and boyxboy tags, but my stories only allude or mention the relationship dynamics as I don't really like writing romance or struggle with writing romance. Why even bother then? Well, why can't my OC's like who they like? π
We shall find our own Happy Ending
'Are you kidding me' That's what I thought as I find out I got reincarnated into so called Romantic Fantasy novel I read which of all the people I could've lived a normal life, I got reincarnated as Elisha Elizondo, a tragic character who dies by the hands of Male Lead's perverted dad after her own father force her became his concubine? Even my own siblings who died and have a horrible fate that ended with death and suicide? Oh, dear God. I'm flipping this forsaking plot. Screw this and my duke for being a fool. I run away with my siblings as disowning my very own 'father' as living secretly with my maternal grandfather, Marquess Valencia. While living few years with Grandpa, I meet the Villainess Rosabella Bardales who was in her weakest state and seems that she run away from her neglectful father and her abusive half-brothers. I felt sympathy for her, and I took her in by knowing her painful past. Seriously, why tragic people like her, and my siblings are always suffering by the same nonsense of our so called 'Families'? Even knowing why OG Elisha was chosen as the Male Lead's dad concubine. "Elisha, no matter what happens, I promised to be by your side...even if the world, calls you a witch or monster" I look back and seeing the Dragon Lord who looks at me gently and showing me some comfort. I smile before I look at him with pink dusts on my pale face. "Thanks, Draco. For being by my side, I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart". We shall find our happiness and have own Happy Ending.
