*rap, rap, rap*
A pale and bony hand tapped steadily on a wooden door. The hand’s owner sprouted a vile grin as the door began to open. A young man with short blue hair poked his head out of the threshold. Before him stood a tall grey-skinned man in a black leather outfit. However, the stranger’s unusual complexion and odd fashion sense were completely overshadowed by another feature. Wings. Massive black feathered wings rested on the stranger’s back. When the young man’s eyes locked onto them, the stranger unfurled his wings in a show of strength. Black feathers longer than a human hand fell around them like cherry blossoms. With his first impression complete, the stranger began to speak.
“Human-”
“-Whatever it is, I’m not interested. Good day.” The blue-haired boy cut him off in a droning tone.
Without waiting for a reply, the boy began to shut the door.
“W-Wait!” The stranger yelled. He quickly wrapped his thin fingers around the door, preventing it from being closed. “You can’t believe your eyes, right? But I will not be ignored.”
“I didn’t ignore you.” The boy replied in the same dull tone. “I clearly told you that I’m not interested. Bye.”
The boy attempted to slam the door, but the stranger stopped him effortlessly. No matter how much strength the boy used, the door would not move an inch.
“Do not panic, human.” The stranger hissed. “I don’t plan to hurt you or your family. No one else can see me, so would you please let me inside?”
“We can’t talk out here?” The boy released the door, but he did not step back.
“It is quite a sensitive subject.” The stranger’s face, which had twisted into a frown, curled back into another wicked grin. “I believe you picked up something that I dropped. A supernatural notebook known as the…”

“-Oh yea, that thing.” The boy scratched his head listlessly. “I threw it away.”
“Yes, you were too afraid to use its power and so you…” The stranger suddenly stiffened. “You…uh…threw it away?”
“Yes.”
“Where?”
“Someone’s trash bin on my way to school.”
“That’s…um.” The stranger’s wings fluttered nervously. “That’s impossible. I can sense it near you. You read the rules inside, right? No human would throw that kind of power away.”
The stranger noticed that the boy had stopped looking at him. He followed the boy’s gaze and turned around to see a garbage truck zoom by.
“Well, if they had their bin out like that, then it must be garbage day.” The boy muttered.
“HUeeeeH!?” The stranger let out something between a cry of frustration and a childish squeal.
The boy tried to surreptitiously close the door while the stranger was having an episode. However, a pale hand was thrust in his way once more.
“WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?” The stranger yelled, revealing a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth. “WHAT KIND OF HUMAN WOULD THROW MY NOTEBOOK IN THE GARBAGE!?”
“A normal one.” The boy blinked. “I’m a normal human.”
“Then you can stay that way for the rest of your life!” The stranger wailed as he took off into the sky.
The boy passively watched a black speck move towards the city dump at a frightening speed. Once it was out of sight, he closed the door with a sigh.
“I intend to.”

The life of a teenage hellworlder
We've all heard of the trope that Earth is a deadly planet by galactic standard; and has thus honed humanity into a ruthless species bent on surviving at all costs. As it turns out, that trope is true. Sapient species that evolve on safe planets develop to be peaceful and compassionate - and the ones that do on dangerous ones become violent and selfish out of need - usually wiping themselves out. But obviously, not every violent species drives itself to extinction - resulting in them being feared and ostracized - including humans. The life of a teenage hellworlder is a sci-fi slice of life story that revolves mainly around Thomas, a sixteen-year-old New Britannian attending a Xeno high school, who befriends a lonely apex predator named Javqua. Getting written by two amateur teen writers, things may sometimes be inconsistent or be confusing - feel free to comment and point out these problems. Gore, profanity, and traumatizing content tags are only for minor events in the story and do not happen often. Chapters are around 1k - 2k words - pretty short, but that's because we're all busy with our own lives and school. Trust us - we would gladly upload 5k word chapters if we could. We tend to upload new chapters every Saturday or Sunday. Please consider supporting us on Patreon!
8 306The Tower Must Fall - Combat Gardener
If you're interested in a conceptual, ground-up rewrite leave a comment and tell me what you loved about it. I've got a pretty good idea of what everyone hated so there's no need for expounding on that. Gardener? A support class? This can't be! What was all my hard work for? Forget this world. Forget the System. Even if I'm a lowly support class, I'll take on the Tower and take them all down! Since the System appeared one hundred years ago, humanity has been divided into three: combat classes, intellectual classes, and support classes. Assigned at the moment of high school graduation, one's class determines their future. Rowan wanted the most out of life. A combat class, an intellectual class, either would be fine. When he is instead assigned a support class, Gardener, he notices the System is completely rigged against support classes. Refusing to give up on his dream of realizing his future by his own terms, Rowan challenges the Tower, the seat of the System and home of the Hero-King, in hopes of bringing the entire System to its knees. Season One complete. Permanent Hiatus, Pending Rewrite. Important notes: -LitRPG fantasy -Rowan is not perfect. He's got flaws, emotions, and personal issues to work through. If you want a perfect, overpowered MC who makes the right decision every time, this is NOT the work for you. -This story opens with a negative situation and an emotional growth arc for the main character. Please don't review until chapter 30 because the arc is not complete until that chapter. (Chapters are short, that's an average RR book's chapter 10) -No harem, no rape, no isekai, no romance -Questions? Please ask!

Perry Z has a Magical Destiny.Born to a Magical Fantasy Princess and a nine-to-five Supervillain, Perry's never felt...adequate. He's completely magically dull, and without a scrap of superpowers.When The System boots, he's forced to follow in his father's footsteps, but he'd rather take after his mother.Maybe there's a way he can do both... This is Macronomicon's take on a lighthearted slice-of-life superhero story. It is one of mine, though. So...you should know what you're getting into =P The Worldbuilding is primarily inspired by Superminion, which was in turn inspired by Worm.The explicit content tags are so if I decide to dip a little dark later down the line, you can't say I didn't warn ya. Except the cussing. That's there from the beginning. I tried to tone it down but a little just slipped in there.
