Noel Arden just wants to disappear. As a member of a prestigious and influential family known for producing powerful espers and guides, Noel’s D classification is an embarrassment. Determined to work as a guide despite his father’s opposition, Noel spends his days in the D-suite of Halo, the largest, most successful Paradigm agency in the country, keeping his head down and enduring the less pleasant aspects of his job. It’s not a bad life; he likes his coworkers, he doesn’t have to rely on his increasingly hostile father, and he’s almost never deployed to Fray sites. As long as he steers clear of his S-class esper half-brother, he can just melt into the background and pretend to be a normal, low level guide, just one of hundreds in Halo’s bottom ranks. Invisible and unremarkable. Exactly the way he wants it. Then an emergency situation during an unexpected deployment forces Noel to shatter his quiet, boring life with his own hands and thrusts him directly into the notoriety he’s worked so hard to avoid. When he witnesses Jade Ransom, Halo’s star esper and one of the only S-classes in the country, melting down from corruption overload, Noel has no choice but to use the ability he swore to never reveal in order to save both Jade and the city from destruction. Jade, desperate after a life of guiding intolerance, latches onto Noel as the only guide he’s ever properly synced with and insists on being exclusive partners. With his back against the wall and his pesky conscience whispering in his ear, Noel agrees. Struggling to balance his secret, his normal job, and his connection to Jade, Noel finds the stable life he worked so hard to build crumbling around him. And as he and Jade grow closer, Noel has to reckon with the vast differences between them and decide if he’s prepared to burn himself out just to let Jade shine. #GUIDEVERSE #ESPER #SLOWBURN [ADULT LANGUAGE AND SUBJECT MATTER] *original cover by me *character portraits commissioned

Aurora: I want to graduate peacefully, go back to school, and finally create with my own hands... Sorting Hat: Hufflepuff!! Here's a story that perfectly confirms Murphy's Law: Aurora: Remus, I just heard from those guys that there is a new teacher who is going to teach us Potions, supposedly Snape. Do you know him? I looked like they were desperate. Lupin: (A thousand words in the wind) Here's a story of Hufflepuff and Slytherin fighting wits and bravery all the way to the face: She pondered for a long time, and finally decided to write a letter for help: What to do if the fan article of the teacher is seen by the teacher himself, online, etc., is quite urgent. Here's a story about the saga: Old alumnus: You were a legend back then. I haven't seen it for a few years, is there anything more legendary to say and hear?

"Reincarnation is a mysterious and wonderful thing, isn´t it?" The old professor took a sip from his tea. Looking at his colleague in the opposite seat. "Just imagine the possibilities!" He spread his arms wide to indicate all the possibilities. "I am." His colleague answered sourly. "Let us assume that there is the thing called reincarnation. Then it must be a blessing for us not to remember our past lives." "Why do you say that? Just imagine If I had all the knowledge of my previous life or lives wouldn´t I be almost all-knowing?" The man smiled imagining having all the knowledge he couldn´t acquire in his lifetime. The other man just shook his head "You, my friend are far too greedy. Just imagining what would happen to a person remembering his past lives fills me with dread and pity. We are lucky not to remember anything if reincarnation is real. Thank God, that this does not happen." Hello there! Writer here. That one above is actually not part of the story, but when I thought about what the story is about that just pooped into my head. It is what this story is going for. Please give me a notice if that´s not how I was supposed to do it.

# highmartialartsworld The Heaven-Defying Fate Scripture allowed its user to transform the bad side effect of a technique into something beneficial. It could alter its user’s fate and aid them in reaching the pinnacle of martial arts. Since the protagonist acquired the Heaven-Defying Fate Scripture, his body could now absorb side effects. [Practicing the Seven Stigmata Fist Technique harms your heart, liver, lungs, spleen, kidney, spirit and physical body. This side effect is now reversed. When the user practices this fist technique, his body will be revitalized instead.] As such, he fell in love with the Seven Stigmata Fist Technique, the Virgin Martial Arts, the Star Sucking Skill, the Explosion Pill, the Soul Splitting Pill and everything that could potentially kill him. He activated the Dissection of Heavens and Demons during the day. At night, he devoted himself to cultivating the Sunflower Scripture. Others improved their cultivation through the aid of resources; he improved his cultivation through self-mutilation.

When given the choice between a greater evil and a lesser one do you just not choose? Or is that a choice in itself? What if you choose neither, stop kissing butt, start kicking butt and take control for your own dang self? The world is in chaos. The common man cannot makes ends meet in a Second World Depression. Behind the black lines of secrets super villains fight against the world and each other, politicians are in crime lords' pockets and more but what will happen when a villain stops fighting the world and fights fire with fire in the common man's favor? - The Black Baron has been getting some hype on MyDarkSide and lives in opulence. Never an anarchist, he kept mainly to himself as his saying goes, "Me and mine; screw the rest." That was until Dan, his father of a friend, died at the omnipotent hands of the international super villain syndicate: The Dragoons... ... Dan's dying wish plays hard on the Baron's mind: to make his life count. - Elizabeth is Dan's daughter. A daughter whom was stripped from her family by a draft into the Angels; an international secret super police that is headed by Gabriel aka the ArchAngel. (Those are just names no real demons vs. angels lol) After rising high in rank she has been privileged with a peculiar mission: an undercover mission into the Baron's inner circle. But as her and Gabriel, the ArchAngel, were discussing, "So you're giving me a small undercover task?" "Well..." he said bobbing his head side to side unsurely, "undercover missions tend to unfold from sounding like that into things much more *delicate*." - With forbidden love and crap loads of cloak and dagger... what could go wrong? During her stay with her father's indirect killer, Elizabeth begins to see that people are people; whether it be a Castro or Lincoln... and the "Castro's"; though cruel, though malevolent, they seem to be like the family she never had. The deeper she gets the harder it is to betray them... or to keep up her little game of Mafia she must play to survive. - Any media whether music, quotes, pictures, face claims and/or the title page are not explicitly mine and are property of their respective owners.

Born orphaned without receiving the slightest affection from her surroundings, making Kwon Hyunji grow freely from childhood. Making her a wild girl who survives from leftovers she meets on the streets. Like zombies who roam just to eat without a meaningful purpose. She is empty. Her soul left her dying body. She must have realized that fate was very cruel to her. Play her on a suffocating illusion. And slowly, the harshness of life grew the monster's side on her. Without pity and emotion. Delivering someone who is willing to accommodate her in a gray room. The space that brought her closer to hell. There is no happiness. There is no sadness. Not black, not white. There is only gray. Too hard to define. In the end, no matter how hard she endured, her soul would never return to her body. Because from the very beginning, she was created only as an extra in her own life scenario. "I've never been afraid of anything, even if it's death. Because from the very beginning I was created, I was already in death itself." - Kwon Hyunji.
