Fooling the gods and every other supernatural being on the planet shouldn't be too difficult... right?
Well it wasn't... at first. But then I got caught in the eyes of none other than Hades himself. He gave a new meaning to the words, " 'Death' glare."
I lost everyone. No friends, family, or belongings. I was isolated with Death, and forced to travel to my favorite place, Hell.
I wasn't scared though, I'd been here before. In the stories my mother told me as a child.
I mean why should I be scared? The throne was reserved just for me, baby.

Blood and Grit : A Vampire LitRPG
A grimdark Vampire LitRPG When the world "died", it wasn't with the trumpets of Apocalypse blaring, or the ground sundering to reveal the molten heart beneath. It was sudden. A spasm. A stroke. But endings do not exist, only new beginnings. And Earth did not end, it only changed, melded with a dying world into something different and infinitely more unforgiving. Mist now blankets the world. Within it, the dead walk and hunger. Outside it, obscene perversions of humanity stalk the land or lie hidden in the shadowed crevices, ready to ambush. There's no chosen ones here. No cheat skills. No easy-mode. There's only the danger and those with the grit necessary to overcome it. For Jon, the hellscape that Earth has become marks a chance. A chance to be more than just the abandoned orphan, slowly rotting away in the slums, that he's been for the last 18 years. After all, what did he have to look forward to in the old Earth? A lifetime of poverty and scraping every cent he could, just so he could avoid becoming another burn-out rotting in a ditch? The world's gone to hell in a handbasket? So what. The name of the game hasn't changed. Survive today, so you can see tomorrow.
𝐕𝐈. 𝐍𝐄𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐇𝐄 ➵ 𝐏𝐉𝐎 𝐱 𝐇𝐏
𝐍𝐄𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐇𝐄 | (n.) something that can make you forget grief or suffering Where there is life, there is death. Where there is light, there is darkness. There is a balance within the universe, always. Only two things remained infinite in the universe; death, and chaos. The lifespan of a demigod is one that is unbelievably short, but alas- death is inevitable. Lilith Jade died protecting those she loved, and she will continue to live through her loved ones. What happens when one equation is taken out of balance? The light, taken away and left them to succumb to the darkness. There is only one definite result; chaos. There is nothing more dangerous than a lovers' revenge; and there is nothing that is stopping them from getting back their light, even if they were running towards death. The end of times is coming; and there was nothing left for them to lose. When the light fades, the bell chimes; then comes chaos. [BOOK SIX OF THE 'ELYSIAN' SERIES]
Her Secret
I sighed heavily as I scanned the forest. I had heard something or someone to be specific, wandering about. I decided I would leave once I affirmed they weren't a danger. "What are you doing in my land, human?" A deep enchanting voice spoke I sighed once again "I'm not human, just smell like one" I spoke as I turned around to see the most stunning man I have ever seen "Mate" he spoke "Find another female, Lycan" I spat He only growled at me in response. Men. My brother was the same way. It's kinda funny how all, correction, most shifter men think alike. I would've thought he would be different, after all, he is Lycan. Something of myths. But then again, so are the supernatural. I turned away from him, not even looking at him. I didn't want to remember what he looked like so I didn't give him a second glance. I heard him move closer. I quickly grabbed the knife out of my holster and threw it at a tree next to him. He stops moving then. "Heed my warning. It's the only one you'll get" I spoke coldly "I will find you. Then you will have no escape from me" he spoke as he backed away I could understand. Lycans, like lion-shifters, were going extinct. Therefore mates were even more important to them. But, even if I understood I still didn't want to be someone's mate. After all, I was Destiny Requalhi, Creator and Destructor of All. ------------------------------ Destiny Requalhi, a girl with a rough past and set in stone future. She wanted to be a normal lioness when she grew up but got so much more. She constantly is looking behind her back ready for a random attack to bestow itself upon her.

They say gut feelings are your guardian angels, Ella Thomas will soon find out that hers was leading her to something she could never imagine existed. Hades has watched over Ella since the day she was born, he was her guardian angel from the depths of the underworld. For centuries he's waited, waited for someone to love. He vowed to himself to protect Ella and only watch from afar. She was so innocent and so human, he couldn't take that away from her. For 20 years he kept his promise, for 20 long and grueling years he watched from afar, until something happens, something that Hades can't ignore. He makes a hasty decision and leaves the underworld, heading to Earth where he knows she will be. But there's a catch, the very person, or should I say God, that Hades despises the most will stop at nothing to destroy his happiness, even if it means killing someone so harmless and oh so very fragile. ....... "How do I look?" He muttered, stepping out of the bathroom. The room seemed increasingly smaller with his large stature in it. I nearly gasped, why did he have to look so good in those grey sweats? I swallowed, trying to act unaffected by his beauty, "Convincingly human." ....... 1st in Love - 13 June 2021 4th in Romance - 13 June 2021 1st in Gods - 13 June 2021 1st in Dark - 30 September 2021 4th in Darkness - 30 May 2022Complete
My Grim Guardian (unedited)
How would you feel if you knew you had a guardian angle dedicated to saving you from harm and protecting you for the rest of your life? That would be pretty cool wouldn't it? Well what if that Guardian angle had been by your side through your younger years as an 'imaginary friend?' Still pretty cool right? Well for Tori its been one Hell of a ride. Most people have an angle sent from heaven to protect them from the evil in the world. I did say most didn't I? Tori doesn't have an angel that was sent from heaven, rather an angel that fell from Heaven. Most call him "Death", or the "Angel of Death," but to Tori he is known as "Grim," or a nuisance. He bounded himself to her by blood when they were younger, saving her from death when her parents were killed in an "accidental" car crash. Along with dealing with Grim's shenanigans she also must deal with the various other supernatural beings that wish to kill or take control of her unique soul.Complete
The Ballad of Crystl
I knew it... coming to this expedition was a big mistake. I don't want to die... what's worse is I might get eaten when I'm dead. Hopefully I won't get eaten alive. I'm just a common grim reaper. Why is this happening to me? There was blood everywhere and I was on the ground. The entire team was decimated by those traitors. Everybody I know in the squad is gone and my master has fallen. I can't move my body and all I could do was lie on the ground until the boss of the traitors approached me. He grabbed me and lifted me up as I approach death. For a god of death like me, dying is not a part of my résumé. Once a god dies, there is no reincarnation, there is no soul, and there is no second chance, just oblivion so... How did it end up like this?Complete
Ire of the Moon
The gods have always been such fickle beings. They carry with them unseen expectations and desires, yet they expect perfection from the mortals over which they rule. How would you manage, then, if a god were to set its sights on you and you alone? Could you run? Hide? Or would their fury be inevitable? How do you avoid the rage of something so mysterious and divine? Some say the gods have limits. That if you did not cross into the light of the moon, that she couldn't see you. Simply hide yourself away each night, and the moon would never find you. There was even a night, at least once a month, where the moon would be blind, and you could tread freely through the night. Of course, nothing is certain in the realm of the gods. Note: This story contains human gore and animal death through hunting. These sections are brief, but those who are sensitive to either should use discretion.Complete

An ancient artifact that unlocks a hidden ability comes into his possession and will stay with him throughout his infinite life. Excerpts: Hearing that title broke him from his mental preoccupation. _Oh, no. Not her. Not with these people._ Glancing around the table, he saw that everyone was looking at him, overtly and covertly, watching and waiting for his reaction. ... The young god stood up in excitement. _It just talked to me! I'm talking to it! This is so weird. What else can I ask it?_ ... _What should I say? I should say something, right?_ "Umm... Hi!" he managed to say. He stopped himself from wincing at his awkward greeting as he felt every eye in the room on him and maintained a casual and relaxed facade. _'Hi'? Really? After not seeing her for so long, all you can say is 'Hi!'? Say something else._ "I came here to see you." _No, idiot. Say something less obvious._ "And, uhh, talk to you." _What's wrong with you, self?_ ... "I don't know. I don't really know what to do anymore. I've done terrible things to him but I don't know anymore if I did the right thing."Complete
