It had already been thirty seconds since his heart stopped. Lyndon warmth was escaping his body causing his skin to turn deathly pale. The corpse was turning cold at an extreme rate as there was hardly any blood left inside his body to keep it warm.

Inside the coffin-like-capsule, Lyndon's corpse was liquefied into a thick liquid. For something that was once human was nothing more than a bloody slush.
From the sides of the capsule, millions of small pores opened up to introduce a green fluid into the dark red liquid. The fluid easily mixed with Lyndon's liquefied body that eventually, the chemical reaction caused the two different color to turn into one translucent solution.
Outside where the Blue Nightmare Alligator growled with confusion on what had just happened. When Lyndon bodied disappeared into the capsule, it tried to stab it opened but it did not even leave a dent on it.
It was truly inconceivable. For something to withstand the alligator strength was rare. None the less, the alligator did not make a big deal about it, not until it noticed that its eggs were endangered.

On the outer of the capsule, the heat it released was usually around 37 Celsius which was enough to warm the eggs. However, the heat spiked to 50 Celsius. The Blue Nightmare quickly reacted by swiping softly at three eggs to the side with its nostril. The Blue Nightmare Alligator was furious that it slammed its arm on top of the capsule. With a boom, the pressure blew the nest apart into pieces. None the less, the capsule refused to crack. The only thing it did to it was indented onto the rocky ground below.
The alligator blew air from its nostril in frustration.
The capsule continued to spike until the heat reached a level that was hot as lava melting everything around it.
The alligator realized that its body could not withstand the heat for much longer and had no choice but to evacuate. In a rush, it picked up two the three eggs as gently as possible with its mouth. It could not find the other one and with the temperature continuing to rise, it had to regretfully leave behind one of its future children behind.
It crawled back to where Lyndon was found and dived into the water escaping to the outside.
The capsule was now black on the outside along the series of fibers that was hooked up to the capsule. The wall of the cave glows red hot as the capsule heated up to the point that anyone who would see it will think it was hell. The sturdy capsule soon stabilized, however, the temperature did not decrease.
Outside on the surface, the river began to boil as steam dissipated in the air. Those that were lived whether they were animals or fantasy beasts were boiled alive.
Following down the river several miles away, there was a small town thriving there.

"Father, look!" A small girl pointed at the corpses of creatures floating on top of the boiling river.
"Wha- What is that?" The father and her daughter were strolling about till they spotted something unexplainable. The father approached the river for a closer. Feared flickered in his eyes.
"Emily, do not get any closer!" He warned causing his daughter to stop from getting closer. The water was boiling that just being near it caused his skin to dry out. "I have to report this to the council, no I need to directly report to the Head. On his wrist, he tapped it to materialize a mechanically crafted board that floated in mid-air. Underneath were lights in shape of geometric shapes. "Emily, get on, we have to head back now." They flew away in a hurry as the river continues to get hotter.

Myscreth
At its core, magic is just the ability to change the laws of nature. Mason Grant's life was going just as he'd always planned. Then a knock at the door changed everything.

Heroes Die First
It was after World War Two ended; rumors spread of people wielding amazing powers or mutating into horrifying monsters. Seventy years later, heroes and villains dominate the news and battle in the streets, discrimination drives mutants into the criminal lifestyle, and the governments of the world are struggling to handle the rapidly shifting paradigm. Maxmillian Grants, like any sixteen year old boy, wants to be a hero and he has a secret: he has the power to do it! Except, when he actually looks into the risks and the rewards he discovers that being a hero is not really worth it. Being a villain, on the other hand, certainly pays well. If you don't mind risking being sent to prison and being hunted by heroes and other villains. Max, not being an idiot, does mind both of those things. Instead of being a hero or being a villain, Max decides to take the third option, to be a vigilante! His plan? To hit the criminals in the gut and run off with their money, making the world a bit brighter at the same time by taking down the bad guys. But how long can he actually manage alone? Can he really navigate through the dangerous world of supers and capes without declaring for either heroes or villains? Or will he be sucked into the web of plots and drama that is the life of those with superpowers? (Cover photo by Sebastiaan Stam, downloaded from Unsplash)
