《Divided/ Party to Escape》Prologue
Advertisement
A long time ago,
A story begins where the hero and his army travel to a castle to rescue one person. The princess, the beautiful princess, was kidnapped and held in the castle by the evil dragon. As soon as the hero approached the evil dragon, they fought each other in a fierce battle. Eventually, the evil dragon is defeated, and the hero successfully rescues the princess and is brought back to her royal palace.
But one day, it was too sudden because the hero and the princess were going to marry each other in a wedding ceremony. After her royal parents allowed the hero to marry the princess as a glorious reward. When the hero and the princess were about to kiss their lips together, the wedding bell rang, and they all celebrated in the end. What a happy ending for the hero and the princess, right?
But then, it is all accorded to the fairy tale book you were told.
What happened between them had led to the downhill.
The hero who rescued the princess was not the hero we knew. Instead, he thirsted for women who wanted the beautiful princess as part of his collection. The princess who the evil dragon held was a runaway child who fled from her home because she knew and feared being sold to the ‘hero’ from the beginning.
After the ‘evil’ dragon had been defeated, The princess fled to her hideout while the hero was looking for her. But because of impatient of his, he set the castle on fire, waiting for her to come out instead. The princess did not come out nor remain in the castle. Her last whereabouts are unknown to the hero.
Nevertheless, who knows what happened to her. Everyone soon forgets her existence.
What a sad, tragic girl. Poor her.

Oh, I am sorry? Did I go too far? Then how about I’ll tell another story which I am sure you will be pleased to hear, right?
Alright then, on day one. In the morning, when sunshine rose in the sky, the atmosphere felt fresh, the birds sang in the forest, and the wild animals just woke up with silly noises.
What a pleasant day to enjoy nature. Better than a dark fairy tale book, yeah?
Oh, who am I kidding? This isn't the outcome I was hoping for; instead, it was more horrendous than that dark fairy tale.
On day two at night, a building was under attack, leaving the place on fire; when the people tried to evacuate, they ended up in disaster. What happened back there was to protect the building from them, but it didn't last more than half an hour when they reached the limit.
When the time passed, I just woke up where I was laid down on the ground, struggling to stand up where the collapsed building behind me was.
So, how did this all happen? Long story short, it was all quiet till someone decided to screw us over with an army; by an army, I meant an army of… bloody Frankenstein cannibalism! It's like they’re from horror movies! Just who created them?! Germans?!”
"Hey, someone... please help us!"
Someone called for help... I couldn't help but run my emotion to get carried away, but now, their shout-out had snapped back to my senses. And therefore, I stood up still despite how much pain I felt, having my weapon on my side just in case. And then I moved forward to see what was ahead of me.
Before I continue, let’s go back to where we started. What I told everything from my universe was the aftermath we had been dealing with.

My name is Hugo, an 18 years old British mercenary. My hobby is prying on others and collecting data information. Yes, that is my actual hobby. You should be worried when your privacy's leaking to me. With my hacking skills as my speciality, I can do whatever I want as part of my hobby.
But aside from that, I’ll be your storytelling for now.
Oh, and if you are wondering why I haven’t mentioned my last name till now was because… I don’t want to remind you about my family separation when a family affair happened. So I unofficially made up my last name to shield myself from seeing my family again.
And also to make matters for us. Almost all of us have fake IDs, and some may keep their real ID as legal immigrants. We need to protect our identity no matter what such threat, like the police, the government, the society, or pretty much everyone else. If not, then our future retirement will be put at risk, meaning our lives will be more difficult when retiring.
It won't be pretty when we get caught by them...

Shift (Ben 10+DCU Fanfiction)
Omnitrix+ DCU, what's not to like? The main character will not be Ben Tennyson, rather someone from our world who gains the Omnitrix Hello! This fanfiction Shift is what I wanted to do for an homage to what I thought were underrated pieces of media, Ben 10 and some DCU characters. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t add context to two of the major works that inspired Shift, Dial, and A Practical Guide to Evil. Dial is another ben 10 fanfiction, however that story takes place in the MCU, and with an adult that is already a grown-up at the beginning of the story. Dial, by my own accounts, is more superficially Like shift, even though the Omnitrix is a central device in both. My protagonist starts out around 18 years old, so is less serious and can build relationships with some of the junior justice league members, and then later on in the story meet the Justice League officially. The tone will be more light-hearted at the beginning of the story as teenagers are known to use sarcasm and jokes at each other’s expense. Furthermore, in Dial, the protagonist has a well-developed knowledge of the MCU which he uses to have knowledge on events and characters, that the character in Shift will not have. While the MC will have some knowledge of people's abilities, lesser-known characters and people's real identities will be not included as much, but the MC of Shift will have some knowledge. APGTE's influence is deeper than Dials'. The epigraphs at the beginning of every chapter are an example of that, a place for light-hearted jokes and worldbuilding that's not pure exposition, but I also want to incorporate narrative stories to Shift (heroes win more than lose, providence, etc) on a lighthearted scale. While the heroes of Shift will have to work to win against villains, the MC of Shift will be allowed limited precognition, through narratives tropes and archetypes as a trade-off of less knowledge of the DCU. For example, a villain a hero faces might monologue, but the MC will not instinctively know how to counter every villain they encounter. I also wanted to bring in more realism than usual superhero stories, ie: the MC cannot just walk and have a meeting with Batman or Superman, he would have to “work his way up” in terms of credibility and whatnot. The Aliens that show up in Shift I tried to make different than the ones in Dial, just to share the love for lesser-known characters. And to make it fairer for the villains of the DCU, the main character will not wantonly use if gain at all an Alien X or a ben 10 form of Kryptonians, just so the characters have to work a little bit for victory. I urge anyone reading to consider checking out both APGTE and Dial as they are both amazing works, and I hope you enjoy them. The beginning of how the MC enters the DCU will not be as important as him actually existing in that universe, so that is why a ton of time is not spent on that part of the story. Chapters will be around 2.5 thousand words and come out around every weekday.

MAZE - The Endless Quest
As all kids do, Hera wanted to be an explorer. Sadly when she turned 18, she discovered that her stats and lack of skills made her fail the requirements to become one, and she went to work on a bookstore. That should have been the end of her story. But when she wins a lottery to have her level up, she discovers a hidden skill and a rare one at that. The system gave her dream back, and this time she is not letting it go. ############################## The story is about a world where game-like systems are the norm. Everyone has a level, status, and even skills are a common thing. If your stats are good, you can also become an explorer, someone that ventures inside a place called MAZE, a dungeon of sorts filled with monsters, creatures, and things that the natural world is missing, such as magic and demi-humans. The story follows Hera, a woman who wanted to be an explorer, but her status were too low to become one. One day she wins a raffle that allows her to level up for the first time giving her the chance to achieve her childhood dream. It's more about how things work and what you can do with them than about power or revenge. The rhythm might be a bit slow for some, but that is the idea. I want to give sort of a slice of life feeling to most of it.
