In the dystopian world of Adepto a Vita, society is divided into three classes based on their 'gift'. 
The Elites: the most powerful-rich, strong, and have powerful gifts. 
The Middlings: middle class, still pretty well off, have general gifts-not too shabby. 
And then you have the Unmentionables. Poor, dirty people of the streets-weak and ridiculed. If you're an Unmentionable, you are guaranteed a short and difficult life. 

Elixir is an Unmentionable. She is poorest of the poor-even other Unmentionables look down upon her. But by complete accident, Elixir discovers that she indeed has powers. Extreme ones. Immediately thrust into a whirlwind of competition, Elixir must fight to find her place in society, and her identity itself. 

'Reader's that loved The Hunger Games series will absolutely adore The Cup of Life!' 

'An intense, interesting read that will keep it's readers on their toes,'

28 parts Ongoing Mature
Somewhere, in an empty void of space, in a gap between planets, in the orbit of a star, there lies a spark. Inside the spark is a single piece of text turning into a line turning into a block of code, all being composed by an unseen hand in a different solar system. The last symbol is typed with finality; gas swirls in tighter and tighter circles; the basis of a world pops into existence. Third Life, it's called, and for a week or a month or so, it's empty, devoid of Players. And then, suddenly, someone appears in the world, and thirteen others soon follow. They stand in a ring in a forest, all surveying their surroundings and their fellow Players. Martyn is one of them- one of the original fourteen. Of course, he doesn't know then that there will be more people joining the group in other worlds named Life in the future- he doesn't even know that there will be other Lifes! All he knows is that he's in a world that's unfamiliar to him, he's surrounded by friends and strangers alike, and he needs to do anything in his power to live. --- Welcome! I present to you: The Life Series told through the eyes of the first four winners and in the scope of The Oh Hellos' Four Winds albums, featuring Scott as the representative of Notos, Grian as the representative of Eurus, Pearl as the representative of Boreas, and Martyn as the representative of Zephyrus. We'll cover everything from 3rd Life to Secret Life, and perhaps some stuff a bit beyond that, even. Buckle up; this is sure to be a wild ride!

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...
The Flower Longed Death by jezxzica
37 parts Complete Mature
Princess Serena felt she was doomed to live a dreary, protected existence in the palace that she was prepared to end. Even once she inherits the title of Queen, the kingdom of Eden would never cease to protect its flower. Her fear of living a dull life ate at her until her tempting first love, Caius, renters it. He vows to free her of her sorrows with a promise of magic, adventure, and passion. She thought he would bring her the excitement she had been looking for, but joining her deadly infatuation would wilt Eden's flower to the brink of agony. ------------------------------------------------------------------- When he turned his ear to me, I noticed that I could see the right side of his mouth. I've used it as a substitute for eye contact. When he smirked just now, I felt myself tremble. "There's a corpse of my creation at my feet Serena. What makes you think I'm devout to religion?" That explains his willingness to sin. "You're a virtuous woman for keeping to your vows, but I am by no means a virtuous man." His intent to court me is not pure. It's certainly from his heart, but his cause is not only for my love. There's something that he must prove to me now... Whether his will is enough to turn me against my virtues. With each passing day I'm growing more weary that it might be. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cover art by Erika De Luca on ArtStation This story if the first of a series Word Count: 147,000 Please read the introduction for triggers!
