action adventure romance shadow superhero supervillain

I live in a pretty screwed up world. 
    I mean, we all do, but mine's a little more screwed up than your average American city. 
    First off, I have that cliché sort of crush on my best friend. The second part of that cliché is that he's interested in every other girl but me.
    Second, we have superheroes. A lot of them. Flying everywhere like annoying insects, teleporting like it doesn't scare the crap out of the rest of us, defeating bad guys like they're the new Mr. Incredible. The whole works. 
    The third thing is, I'm one of those superheroes. 
    My name is Kiera Knight, but the rest of the world knows me as Shadow. 
_________________________
Kiera Knight has been saving Cryptic City from her nemesis, Blaze, for two years now. As soon as she thinks she's got him under control, the wildfire spreads chaos through both of her lives-as Shadow and Kiera. But she soon finds out that masks can't hide every secret, and she might have been helping guard a secret that could put Cryptic City in ruins. 

"I hate supervillains. But after being a superhero, I think I'd prefer to be a supervillain now."

The Loser Squad | ✔️ by _ChocolateAddict_

I WROTE THIS 2 YEARS AGO AND MY WRITING STYLE HAS CHANGED A LOT SINCE THEN. THE ONLY REASON I HAVEN'T TAKEN THIS DOWN IS SENTIMENTALITY. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sophia Dawn is a nerd that is bullied on a daily basis until she starts hanging out with 4 other social outcasts. When her invention at the science fair gets sabotaged and explodes, all five of them, herself, Liz Thorn, Jake Light, Mike Sharp and Charlie King gain superpowers. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- I am Greek, so if you notice any grammatical or vocabulary mistakes, please don't be rude about it! Just tell me in the comments and I will correct them. Also, this is the first story I publish and I know it is lame, but I do it for the experience. I know it is horrible and everything goes really fast and slow at the same time and there are plot-holes and so many other damn things that I can't count at the moment... Anyway. I hope you won't be too harsh, as I told you I am here for the experience and harsh comments are bound to exist. I can't prevent you from posting them, just please make them as little hurtful as possible, not only for me, but also for yourselves. I really hate blocking people. And if the rude comments are too much I will delete and never post again. Not threatening, just warning. Thank you for your time!!! Also, I am not trying to show JUST the action behind the masks, but also, mainly, the struggle when balancing a life like this. Apart from that, I want to make it kind of dramatic. ;)

Infinity x The World by LunaLightfoot

Warning: this book's focus is drawn to a character who hints themes of depression and self-harm. The idea of the story is to present the experience of learning to understand and comfort someone through these struggles. So while these themes are contained within a comical styled story, they are still present so please be mindful of that before you read on. You. You're just a normal girl. A normal girl with a normal life... until you meet the boy with blue hair... Name: unknown Age: unknown Human? Unknown How can someone live a life without anyone knowing of their existence? You don't know. But you want too. Determination fills you with a desire to seek more about this boy. There's just something about him that makes you want to know more. He meets your eye. Is a name really too much to ask? He refuses to give you one. If you keep investigating, you'll get hurt. You'll be killed. You'll regret it. It's not a warning. It's simply the truth. You've been noticing strange things going on. He's not in any records. A shotgun fire?! He has wounds that heal all too quickly. How can a boy get shot and heal by the very next day? You want to know, don't you? Then simply allow your mind to go wondering into this book and discover the secrets behind the boy who no one knows. (This book is a representation of my experiences with dating someone with depression in high school. I wrote it while we were dating, subconsciously writing him into the character Infinity. I will say that I intend to rewrite this at some point to send a better message, as I feel some of the actions in this book are unhealthy reactions to depression, that I have a much better perspective of now) [I'm also working on a VN based on this story.... If my studies would stop getting in the way]

Rival by lillian_02

At 14 he took something from me and no one cared. I tried telling my mother what happened but she brushed off, people thought I was lying and carried on with there day. At 18 I killed him. I didn't mean too it was an accident of course. One that I've been hiding all these years. Now I do it for a living, it's my job. It's not like it was my choice I was thrown into this world clueless and vulnerable. But now I would never show them my weakness, never show them what was locked inside my heart. His death is the only death that haunts me and I'm afraid it always will. Kiera was shoved into a world she had no idea actually existed. After being found in the ally way drenched in blood by Sebastian, he took her in under his wing and showed her how to become one of his murderous soldiers. Ronan had always been the best assassin, no one could beat him. He always did the job right and never left a trail behind. That was before she came along, waltzing in like a scared little lamb and snatching his top spot from under his nose. he absolutely despised her. After being assigned to kill America's senator they have no choice but to work together if they want to survive but what happens when you put a lamb in a room with a lion? TW: rape, sexual assault, abuse

THE BROKEN FELINE by SheylynMaertz

I'm not like the other girls. I used to be just a girl who just worried about friends and school. But now all I do is read about fantasy and romance. I want to be able to rely on someone who will love me and care for me. I want to be in love and I want to be able to shift into a wolf or grow wings or even spin a web while saving people. I'm broken, and I'm all alone with nobody to love. I live off of fantisy books and romance yet I have none. This is me, this is my life. But what happens when the stuff she reads comes true and she finds herself as a warecat- a tiger? Where will this life take her? A/N: I was a new writer so yes, this was my first book and so as now as I am a better and more experienced writer, I noticed that it needs huge editing so please don't be rude when you find the many mistakes. (This is my first book ever written) (Nash Grier fantasy) COMPLETED

Without A Trace (Open Novella Contest) [Completed] by lemoncandyfloss

Shortlisted for the Open Novella Contest 2019 • Being a Supervillain is tough. Between managing a secret lair and making sure your mom doesn't stop loving you because you keep telling everyone she's dead, it's a really hard business to be good at? Add to that, the fact that somehow you got arrested because your cat sitter didn't take the day off and then you go around expressing your unconditional love for pancakes in a Super holding cell because technically they can't put you in a proper prison and you don't really have a choice because lawyers are expensive? And then, you realise your best friend is plotting go take over your spot as the greatest villain there ever was? Okay, maybe not the greatest, but you do come pretty close to it! To top it off, there's that one Superhero who's just so completely gorgeous, you couldn't imagine any harm coming to them? Because they're just that precious? I guess that makes me a Supervillain with minor time travel superpowers and a huge crush on a not so powerful Superhero? And all you have to do is protect yourself and everyone you love from your ex best friend/sidekick --because let's face it that's the highest level of praise for a wretched traitor here--and you also have to get out of Super Holding somehow? What could go wrong? Right?

Ariana Carter. by Girlzshallbegirls

<<•Her POV•>> "But I don't want to. It's too scary. See, now I'm sounding like a scared little bitch." I say mimicking what Lisa said to me before. Kyle gave me an assuring look. "You'll be fine, Ariana. Everyone loves you." I shook my head at his stupid comment. He's wrong about everything. No one really loves me. I don't want to feel love or loved. The feeling hurts so fucking much. I've already fallen in love and the feeling of pure heart broken just... I couldn't face the world. I turned around and saw the man him self. Jake Kingston. The guy I fell in love with but lost. I couldn't face him or the world anymore... So things started to go cliché. Jake: Bad boy. Mia: Good girl. = Couple. Then there is me. I was a current nobody to a popular piece of shit. I'm such a worthless bitch. I ran up the stage and waited until the curtains open. I'm going to do this... I'm doing this for Jake. I'm telling him my love for him is real. It's not a game. It's reality. <<•>>

After the Rise by jgovan

After gaining teleportation powers in a tragic accident that, depending on who you ask, may have been entirely his fault, Ethan is on the brink of reaching his goal and becoming Ascension's newest Protector. It cost him every relationship he had, but nobody said purposefully altering your DNA to become a superhero would be easy. Things would be a lot easier if Ethan also hadn't accidentally created the newest supervillain to roam Ascension, armed with incredible powers and a seeming vendetta against his sister, the mighty Protector known as Titan. And it'd be great if the breach points popping up in the mountains outside of Ascension and moving ever closer weren't directly related to Ethan gaining abilities in the first place, but nobody has to know about that part, right? Ethan can keep it all a secret if he can team up with an eccentric Apex scientist to fix the breaches before they swallow Ascension whole and stop Slate before she kills Titan. Then nobody would have to know it was all his fault in the first place, right? He'd also like to get his best friend Raz talking to him again, but that may be the hardest goal to achieve of them all. Ethan can go anywhere he wants, but he'll soon find out that the only way to fix what he's broken is to stay put. Unfortunately for him, after you burn every bridge you've ever crossed, staying in one place has an unpleasant side effect: It makes you a pretty easy target.

Villainous Veera by romance_lover16

WATTYS 2022 SHORTLISTER!!! ★━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━★ 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝? ★━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━★ Born in a world where people are segregated based on their abilities, twenty-six-year-old Veera Solace lives her life in the small country of Liquiord as the minority group - the disabled; or the differents, as the people like to call her. With an anonymous president and hostile community, Veera relishes her moonlit activities as Void, the shadow villain. Emotionally terrorizing her victims in hopes that they change their ways, Veera lives by burying her feelings and being what society wants her to be - teacher by day, vigilante, or villain, as the world calls her - by night. But with every villain, there's a hero and the hero to Veera's villain persona calls himself Spotlight. Their battles could rival the squabbling of a newly married couple, yet both Void and Spotlight are nothing near being a couple. They're strangers, enemies - people on different sides of the law. That changes, though, when a picture with no context is released to the public, sparking a worldwide debate about the relationship between Void and Spotlight. And as if that wasn't bad enough, there's a new hero in town - Infinite. To Void, he's nothing more than another nuisance, but to Spotlight, he's a mystery; an enemy. When havoc falls onto the city and eerily corresponds with Infinite's arrival, Spotlight, and Void have to put all feelings aside to solve the mystery that digs so deep in the past that they may never recover from it. ~*~ Featured on @antiherosgalore "Wicked Women": 12/19/22 Featured on @crime "Like a Woman": 5/28/23 Featured on @superheroes "Anti-Heroes and Awesome Antagoni

Athena In Gold by asandrae

- ! Book contains explicit content ! - - v cliche, trying to edit and rewrite some parts - _ From the life of silver chains to the world of golden spoons. Athena Noir, an unlucky girl with a dark past, entering the world of pesky private school kids. Her hardwork has finally paid off as she has recieved a scholarship to attend the grand prestige school for the top elite creatures of the mythical world. Astor Academy. Athena has already planned out her entire stay at her new school. Learn, Study, Eat, Sleep and repeat. Her fellow classmates have a different plan set out for her. ~ ~ ~ "You're breathtaking, you know that?" He states. "How many times have you used that line on other girls?" I say, rolling my eyes. I bit my tongue, regretting that remark. "The other girls can't possibly compare to my pretty girl." He ignores the question, his eyes scanning my face for any signs of a reaction to his charm. "My lovely.." He pulled my arm towards him. I felt a slow kiss on the back of my hand. "Sweet.." then another on the other hand. "-golden heart girl." He looked up through his eyelashes. I stay silent as I looked around the room, avoiding eye contact. He placed his free hand on my waist, the other still holding my hand. "Shall I call them over while I have you bent over this bed?" He says planting a kiss on my stomach, going lower each time. I run my free hand through the back of his hair, gently pulling his head back slightly, forcing him to look back up at me. He had a dangerously evil smile on. I knew my cheeks were going red, I pushed him away and rushed towards the the door. "You always do this." I mumble quietly, trying to catch my breath which I lost in the heat of the moment. "Would you be lying to me if you said you didn't like it?" He replied, walking over to me. I kept my mouth shut. ~ ~ ~ Most confusing Love V/ triangle trope you'll ever find¡¡ Sequels out!¡ !!Inspiration from Nikkireadw!!

Hyper by EmiliaCatz

Imagine waking up in a fantasy land filled with magic. No, wait, you don't need to imagine. It's already overdone. Instead, let's reverse it. Imagine a superhero, living in a Sci-Fi world, and they're coming here. A place that doesn't really need them. There aren't any supervillains (I said SUPER), and they're faced with the hardest challenge yet: finding out how to live a normal life. That's what Harper is facing when she wakes up in a hospital bed, with a mom she doesn't know, and a past that's not hers. This is the story of Harper Dollinger, and the life she starts anew. There's no beginning, middle, and end. No heroic climax where she almost dies but it just makes things interesting. No. There is only living. And powers, she still has those...
