Binary Reflections

Eli Hale has always kept his head down. Not just because of the anxiety that never really goes away, but because that is how he was raised. Quiet house. Small town. No questions. His mom, Lydia, kept their life simple in Port Virel. His father died before he was born, and the rest of the family slowly faded out of the picture. Eli learned early that it was easier not to dig too deep. Then his mother disappears. The explanation he is given does not make sense. Before he can even process it, something happens to him that he should not have survived. After that night, things feel different. He notices details other people brush off. Strange pauses. Reactions that come a second too late. Moments that feel slightly wrong. It starts to feel like the world is thinner than it should be. What Eli does not know is that reality runs on opposites. Every force has a counterforce. Pressure and release. Known and unknown. Presence and absence. Most people never think about that balance. A small number are born tied to it. They carry Binaries, opposing forces that shape how reality behaves around them. Power does not come from spells or elements. It comes from alignment. The more someone lives in sync with their Binary, the stronger it becomes. Growth is not about talent. It is about surviving what should have killed you. And the further someone advances, the more the power begins to change them in return. Governments are aware of it. Institutions manage it. Parts of history have been rewritten because of it. The public has no idea how much of the world is built on something unstable. Eli does not know any of this yet. He only knows that people have started watching him. They test him without saying that is what they are doing. They offer help that feels conditional. The academy that recruits him presents itself as elite and necessary. It promises structure, discipline, and answers. What it really offers is exposure to others like him and a look at how dangerous this hidden system actually is. Whatever Eli survived was not random. And whatever he is carrying is not small.

The House of Hewitt

When Hazel Ludicrous gets reincarnated as the twin sister to one Mason Hewitt, one would think she'd be a side character. Unfortunately, her family isn't as weak as depicted in the show and the Teen Wolf universe as a whole is so much more dangerous and deadly in real life. If Hazel Hewitt wishes to survive this world she's only seen through television, she'll have to become stronger than she thinks is possible. And, with her power set, one would think she has the potential. Watch as Hazel outwit schemers, protect her friends and family and prevent key tragedies such as the Hale House Fire, the Beast's return and, most importantly, the end of the 5 lives of those she's found herself helplessly attracted to, and, while at least 3 of them originally meets an untimely demise in the show, she has no intentions of letting that pan out in real life... In this world, anyway. Yet something old is stirring in the depths of Beacon Hills, something that has made the world even more deadly than it ever could have been. To make matters worse, the Hewitts seem to be smack in the middle of supernatural affairs. She'll need to empower her kin and her allies and protect her world --- From threats within and without. To protect her family and those she holds dear, Hazel may have to resort to unspeakable actions with deadly consequences, but she is nothing if not determined to protect her own. With an unbreakable will and powers she has yet to find the limits of, Hazel may just succeed... Or die trying. ------------ WARNING: Updates are slow. I work 2 jobs and attend university, so I don't have much free time. That said, I have NOT abandoned this story.

272 Days Until...

Kyle. A boy worn thin by expectations that were never truly his own. Misunderstood, overestimated, and exhausted from a lifetime spent pleasing everyone but himself. After graduation, he leaves behind his quiet countryside home, hoping a distant university might finally offer him peace. Instead, the city offers him something far stranger than loneliness. Waiting inside the house meant to be his new start is a girl he has never met-serene, unfamiliar, and fundamentally wrong in ways he can't quite name. She doesn't feel human. And she isn't very good at pretending to be. She asks if she can live with him. Reluctant, and too kind to refuse, Kyle agrees-unaware that he has just welcomed into his life something far older and far greater than he could possibly understand. She is not merely otherworldly. She is an existence that should not care about human hearts at all. An Outer God wearing a fragile disguise, observing a species she was never meant to touch. Yet he fascinates her. Beneath his calm exterior is a boy shaped by a past that taught him to distrust affection, to measure love as obligation, and to fear what it might demand of him in return. His brokenness is not something Anathasia was prepared for, nor something her kind was ever meant to encounter. As she watches him, studies him, and begins to feel, the boundary between observer and participant begins to erode. What begins as quiet cohabitation becomes something far more dangerous. Will their impossible bond heal the wounds Kyle tried so desperately to bury, or will it awaken emotions in both of them that neither of their worlds will allow to exist? [DISCLAIMER] This is a work of fiction set in a version of modern-day Earth. While real-world locations, historical events, cultures, and mythologies may be referenced, they are depicted in a fictionalized manner for storytelling purposes.

ANCESTRAL DESCENDANT

In a world where gods once waged war across the constellations, the balance of life hangs by a thread. Humanity lives in the shadow of forgotten powers, and monsters born of corruption prey upon the weak. Aaron Yaghan, once an ordinary F-rank—until the day he inherited the essence of a fallen hero, the first man Adaman. With this gift came a terrible burden: the power to grow beyond limits, to absorb strength, and to wield abilities no mortal should command. But power alone cannot protect the heart. Pulled into mysterious rifts, hunted by unseen enemies, and bound to a world of gods, Aaron must navigate a treacherous path where every choice carries weight.

Highest-Rated Agent Thanks to My Sorcerer System

In a world overrun by monstrous creatures and dark entities, humanity is forced to fight back. A renowned organization has developed an advanced evolutionary method to combat these threats, using technology that creates Systems through a combination of neural interfaces, high-tech implants, energy conduits, and Magic Cores. A machine studies each Magic Core, revealing the powers and traits it contains, and fuses them with a compatible human host. Through this process, it channels and amplifies raw magical energy, simulates hidden abilities, and generates extraordinary skills within chosen individuals—allowing them to access the supernatural being’s power and gain strength far beyond normal limits. During combat, each individual System records battle and performance data. The System then evaluates their performance, combining public ratings with its own analysis to produce a final ranking. As the world evolves, many of these dark entities also adapt, learning to blend into society and becoming nearly impossible to detect until it is too late. Ezekiel is chosen to wield the Sorcerer System, granting him the power to control magic. Alongside him are his squadmates, each equipped with their own Systems, combining their abilities to undertake deadly missions. Together, they face formidable enemies, navigate a society where danger can emerge from anywhere, and uncover hidden conspiracies that threaten humanity itself.

HER TRIALS HIS TEMPTATION

The heavens do not bleed; they burn. When the King of the Skies lost his heart to the earth, his grief shattered the mortal realm. But he did not seek a replacement, he sought a vessel. With a roar of thunder, he reached down and pressed a silver brand into the skin of a newborn babe, a mark that would pulse with a fevered heat as she grew, a constant, aching reminder that her body was never truly her own. For years, she lived as a ghost, an untouchable prize for a God who had not yet come to collect. She was an outcast in a village that feared the storm in her blood, unaware that the mark on her waist was a bridge between her skin and his divine hunger. But the Sky is not the only power that watches her. While the King waited in the heights for his harvest of fire, another voice whispered secrets of bone and blood into her ear. While the world threw stones, she learned the language of the roots and the hidden, thrumming rhythm of her own desire. Now, the child of the storm has grown. She carries the emerald mercy of a healer in her palms and the violet wrath of a God in her veins. She has stepped out of the cage of her childhood and into a realm where her presence is a spark in a room full of powder. She was born to be a sacrifice. She was raised to be a bride. But as the silver mark on her skin begins to burn with a new, predatory intensity, she realizes the King doesn't just want her soul. He wants the woman she has become. The King is watching. His patience is fraying. And the lightning is coming.
