《Not Quite What You Meant (Short Story Collection)》Most Powerful, Most Feared
Advertisement
I fought villains in the shadows, and heroes only when necessary to escape with my life. I became a household name, whispered of in darkness, feared by hero and villain alike.
Everyone had a theory about my sudden rise to power. Most boiled down to the same thing: I was one of those. The ones who wanted to conquer the entire world, and had the power and intellect to pull it off.
The more villains I defeated, the more worry I caused. Taking out the competition was a sure sign of terrible confidence. Most rising villains tried to recruit their fellows, not wipe them out.
Some said my rise heralded the end of the world.
Some said my rule would be benevolent, and others terrible.
But the one thing everyone agreed with, was that there was no way I had good intentions.
I'd like to say I'd cultivated this image with care, that it was my safeguard against the great secret of my weakness.
But that would be untrue.
The great irony of it all, is that my reputation grew from nothing. I'm just a guy trying to do the right thing. All I've ever done was fight villains and try to avoid being noticed afterwards.
Despite my unstoppable powers, I'm not a supervillain. I'm not even a superhero.
I'm just an introvert.

8 166Frame of Mind (Fae Mythos: Gar Darron 1)
In a city of darkness and murder, the greatest danger is found in the mind.Alany hasn’t tracked anyone since the war, but when his lover goes missing, old skills are all he can trust.With no other leads, he is forced to contact a mysterious network of telepathic magi, and risk his sanity for hope.When the mind is no longer sanctuary, and even memories can be bartered, is there still power in love?The first book of a new series in Edward Eidolon’s Fae Mythos. A note from the Author: PLEASE leave a review and alert me of any plot holes, weak portions, and anything else. I am in desperate need of beta readers and feedback. I wrote this around the new year, 2020. It's about 40k words and the first in a planned series that follows Gar "Alany" Darron and his agency of detectives as they track missing persons in the city of Throne. I have the sequel planned but not written. Once this one is completely uploaded, I'll be uploading another, unrelated series that as of right now is roughly 160k words long, and somewhere in there, I'll write the sequel to Frame of Mind. I plan to go back and forth between the two series for the foreseeable future. Thanks for reading.
