Scarred Glory

Axoy1
Marseille, 1995. The Banlieus are a concrete mouth that swallows people’s dreams. Adélard, 17 years old; and Leon, 7 years old. These two young boys are what remains of a family based on lies. When the silence in their underground apartment becomes silent forever, and when there Mother disappears into the salty air of the Docks, “the beautiful game” comes to end. To redeem their Mother, Adélard will have to give up his future. In order to obtain money to buy back their Mother, Adélard will be forced to become a delivery-boy for the cities worst predators. While Adélard gets his hands bloody breaking them in dirty rainy alleys so he can protect his Brother from the darkness, Leon stands by and holds a frayed scarf, learning one of life’s harshest truths – in the Slums every “Glory” has a "Scar" next to it. The docks of Marseille never forget a debt. As Adélard sinks deeper into the depths of the underworld, he discovers the accident that took his fathers life seven years before was no accident at all. It was just the beginning of a much larger and deadly game. How much of your soul would you trade for a family that was born in the shadows? “I’m your shield, Leon. But the shadows are starting to look like home."

My Tribrid System: More than a Monster

{69K words before locked] Fifty years ago, a shower of meteors descended from the skies. With them came a strange, colorful mist that wiped out ten percent of humanity and changed the world forever. Ten years later, the real nightmare began. From beyond the stars came the Abberants — massive, intelligent, ape-like creatures standing over nine meters tall. Stronger, faster, technologically superior, they declared themselves the rightful rulers of Earth and plunged humanity into a war it never asked for. On the brink of extinction, humanity survived only because of one miracle. Meta-Humans. Humans who awakened extraordinary abilities and pushed the Abberants back. Some shared their powers to protect mankind. Others hoarded them, turning strength into bloodline privilege. Ray Dawson was never one of them. At least, not at first. Just a boy with an ordinary life, working in secret to save enough money to buy an ability book and change his fate — without his mother ever knowing. The day his dream was supposed to come true, everything was taken from him. An Abberant attack left Ray with nothing but rage, grief, and a shattered future. Sent to a brutal survival camp meant to forge soldiers, Ray’s life should have ended quietly like countless others. Instead, an accident changed everything. ...
