ACT 1: EXPOSITION
-17 Years Ago-
“Subject number twenty two is in position.”
“Power the artifact.”
Dr. Rudolph D. Edgars’ beady eyes bore into subject twenty two. He had not slept in two days and it showed by the swelling of his face. Time is of the essence, however, as much, much more than his life is depending on the success of his experiment.
Deep rumblings reverberated throughout the lab, causing the already dim lightbulbs dangling from the ceiling to flicker and sway. The seven scientists momentarily paused as dust spilt downward from above.
Wwhhhhhirrrrr...
“The artifact is powered.”
Dr. Edgars wiped his brow free from sweat with his forearm and took a sharp breath.
“Engage.”
Ca-CHHH!
The incubator containing the infant labeled subject twenty two spun and collapsed in on itself. Brilliant white light shone through the cracks of the holding unit blinding the host of scientists.
“Status!”
“Subject twenty two’s tether has been shattered.”
“Vital signs?”
“Negative.”
Silence permeated the room. Exasperation was mixing in with the exhaustion that was already more than abundant within the room.
Dr. Edgars voice trembled noticeably as he spoke.
“Prepare subject number twenty three.”

ARTIDEUS - Games of War
Over two decades ago, the war between the Kingdom of DeMors and the Demons finally ended. With the Outer Realms reclaimed, the Kingdom claimed victory and the chance to return to peace. But after such an entertaining war, they wanted no such thing.The fighting quickly turned civil. Militaries separated to test themselves against one another, splitting the Kingdom. To solve this dire problem the King of DeMors created a program to appease the Generals and the public alike.And so the War Games began.For with such incredible powers granted by Artideus, all agreed it would be a crime not to use them.But this did not mean the Demon forces were gone. Battles outside the Kingdom's borders were still fought, only treated with little significance.

Fade
The story follows the life of John Grimshaw. From tragic beginnings to hopeful ends, John embarks on a quest for meaning. When visiting the cemetery he meets a girl named Jennifer Stone, a youthful teenager who quickly becomes a safety raft for John in turbulent times. But nothing could have prepared John for when he met the man in the pinstripe suit. The man with bright eyes, dark skin, and gleaming white teeth. The man claiming to the impossible and break the thin ice below John's feet entirely. (ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER) This story starts off relatively dark. Those who dislike subject material surrounding loss, depression, grief, should probably not read. With that said, the story evolves into a supernatural thriller past the initial chapters. It’s a comparably low fantasy for a website like this but hope some of you still enjoy it.

Unfettered Spear
[Ratata~] Being showered with bullets from all directions, I certainly don't feel so good. Especially, feeling the bullets passing through my body, which is simply torture. After God knows how long, the gunfire finally stopped. I had my head down, contemplating that this was the end. However, it was at this time that I heard someone jumping off the car in front. I looked up and saw that it was the "Boss." "I should've done this much sooner, you really done a number on my men despite being alone!" "I must admit that you are good, but too good that you're a threat to MY throne!!" "I–" Alas, the Boss' monologue was cut halfway through. When he held his head high, an action to signify his pride, a bullet pierced through his under chin into his brain and out the back of his head. He looked at me in disbelief, like the others around. None of them anticipated that I could still fire my pistol, much less accurately aiming at one's head at the hip level, after being turned into a bloody meat-sieve. "You... Monster!!!" To the Boss' dying words, I only replied with a smile as my strength left my body.
