Ringkasan

In Horizon City, a city pulsing with superhuman abilities and hidden powers, Alex Mercer leads a double life. To his high school peers at Crescent High, he is just an unremarkable, introverted teenager, often labeled as a loser. However, beneath this facade, Alex harbors a staggering secret: he is the formidable boss of the world's most powerful mafia, controlling the underbelly of global crime while possessing extraordinary superhuman abilities. Alex's life of careful balance is disrupted with the arrival of Olivia Turner, a new student with her own mysterious past and vigilante tendencies. As their paths intertwine, the precariously maintained veil over Alex’s dual existence begins to slip. Olivia's presence unwittingly draws attention to Alex, making him a target in the perilous criminal world he reigns over. Caught in a vortex of escalating conflict and dangerous alliances, Alex is forced to confront the consequences of his hidden life. His struggle to maintain his anonymity becomes increasingly challenging as rival factions within the underworld sense an opportunity to overthrow him. Simultaneously, his growing bond with Olivia tests his ability to keep his true identity a secret, putting both their lives in grave danger. As tensions reach a boiling point, Alex is compelled to make a critical decision: reveal his true identity and utilize his full powers to protect his loved ones or continue concealing his dual life, risking everything he has built. This decision leads to a thrilling climax where Alex confronts his enemies, both in the criminal sphere and within the walls of Crescent High. "Shadows of Power" is a gripping tale that weaves together themes of identity, power, and the delicate line between right and wrong. It explores the consequences of living a life shrouded in secrets and the transformative journey of a young man grappling with the immense responsibility of his hidden world. The story culminates in a dramatic finale, leaving both Horizon City and Alex forever changed, as he seeks redemption and a new path forward in the aftermath of his revealed identity.

Les Divinôm voulant vivre en marge des Hommes normaux fondent leur nation au centre du continent central, trois montagnes se suivent en cercles, les Divinôm fondent leur capital au centre de ce cercle et ils la nomment "Triniôm" l'ère des Divinôme débuta 1ED. Les Divinôm élisent le plus fort d'entre eux pour diriger "Ferguson Trond" un jeune homme très curieux et bien assez caractériel pour se faire entendre, une partie des Divinôm n'étant pas d'accord partent au pied de la montagne "Krit" situé au sud-est, pour y vivre loin du centre contrôlé par le Maître suprême Divinôm mais Ferguson ne leur voulait aucun mal il trouvait cela rassurant que des Divinôm s'opposent à lui. Ferguson construisit sont partis en affectant plusieurs Divinôm à l'économie, la justice, la défense, l'armée et d'autres moins essentiels. Les opposants deviennent "Le conseils des maîtres" apportant soutient et formation aux peuples naissants de la nation Nommée "Oritium", Ferguson et le conseil des maîtres ne s'entendaient pas sur l'acceptation des êtres humains normaux au sein du territoire et des Entropien, ainsi le conseil des maîtres sur ordre du maître suprême n'avait pas d'autre choix que de repousser les Entropien et les hommes ne voulant pas apprendre l'énergie. Le conseil des maîtres peut néanmoins créer des écoles à l'extérieur de la nation de l'énergie pour former les humains normaux mais il n'est pas rare de voir des élèves devenir bandit en refusant d'intégrer l'armée de Triniôm. 66ED Certains rois et dirigeants d'autres pays pensent que le fait que l'Oritium soit fermé est une mauvaise chose car personne ne sait ce qu'il s'y passe et le nombre de crimes causés par l'énergie augmente. Le conseils des maîtres parlent à Ferguson pour trouver une solution car les écoles sont détruites mais ce dernier se dit prêt pour la guerre s'il s'oppose. Ferguson envoya des soldats pour raser des villages sans attirés l'attention des Hommes normaux cela le faisait rire, les nations d'hommes normaux préparent un bataillon équipé des meilleurs techniques pour montrer qu'ils n'ont pas peur des Divinôm. Ferguson et ses armées ont détruit un bon nombre de bataillons, le conseil des maîtres ne cautionnent pas ses actes mais Ferguson les menace très fréquemment de les détruire si il n’envoient pas des élèves combattre et il abuse beaucoup de l'alcool. Un jour sans doute à cause de l'alcool Ferguson perdit sa jambe gauche dans une explosion causée par une machine humaine, pour se venger il retrouva le roi responsable de la perte de sa jambe mais celui-ci avait payé des mercenaires Divinôm qui avait quitté le cursus. Ferguson mourut sans s'être vengé mais il a combattu férocement et son armée a fui avec peu de pertes en direction de Triniôm. Le conseil des maîtres organisent des élections qu'ils gagnent sans problème et le peuple élit "Émy Na" en tant que Maître suprême, les partis du défunt Ferguson s'installent au pied de la montagne "Tyam" au sud-ouest, puis ils forment le conseil de l'énergie apportant justice aux Hommes normaux mais aussi aux Divinôm.

The Stigma (Continued)

“Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil.” —Marcus Aurelius “Poverty is the mother of crime.” —Marcus Aurelius “The path to paradise begins in hell.” —Dante Alighieri And many more quotes from philosophers and other cool dudes to set the mood. (Yeah, I know that rhymed!) ————————— When given the choice between a greater evil and a lesser one, do you simply just not choose? Or is that a choice in of itself to let the evils rule you? To let the evils put you into proverbial chains? Screw that. How about rising up and owning the chains? Asserting one’s own will as the more desirable evil? Would that then… be good? ————————— The world is in chaos. The common man can’t make ends meet in a Second World Depression. Behind the blacked out lines of lies and secrecy the world’s governments are in crime lord’s pockets. All the while villains fight a de facto royale against the world and amongst themselves. With the glass world already cracked, now only a pebble is needed to make it absolutely shatter. ————————— The Black Baron is a MyDarkSide influencer—kidding—he’s actually an unhinged supervillain and acts like some sort of bad-boy playboy. Sometimes comical, petty, childish; he isn’t afraid of death or having Waya, his enforcer, completely annihilate his foes. His neutral “only me and mine; screw the rest” philosophies are shattered when Dan—his father of a friend—is slain by the most powerful syndicate in the world. Why? Because they were targeting the Baron. Now shaken and brooding, war has only just begun. The only certainty is uncertainty itself. Oh yeah, and casualties. That’s not the dominant thing on the Baron’s mind however. Instead it’s the last promise he made to Dan; to make his life count. ————————— Elizabeth is Dan’s daughter. Her father’s involvement with the Baron led the last family she had left to the grave. The perfect example of zeal and passion in the ranks of the Angels, a police force she was conscripted into, she doesn’t hesitate to take the undercover assignment of infiltrating the Baron’s inner circle to destroy every fiber of their being from within. “So you’re giving me a small undercover task?” “Well,” the ArchAngel said, bobbing his head side to side, “undercover missions tend to unfold from sounding like that into things much more… delicate.” Yeah like betrayals, blackmail, cloak and dagger, tights, cool quotes, forbidden love and more. What could go wrong? During her stay with her father’s indirect killer however she sees that people are people. Be they a Castro or a Lincoln, be they benevolent or malevolent, these “degenerates” begin to infiltrate a part of her heart she thought was dead when stripped from her biological family when she was forced into the Angels as a little girl. The deeper she gets, the harder it is to betray them. With bonds forging in battle it becomes harder and harder to lie. Over time, she struggles to continue the little party game of Mafia she needs to keep up in order to merely survive the coming days and even darker nights. The only thing certain, is uncertainty itself… and lots of casualties. ————————— Koltin_0562 is my old account. It’s been so long I think it was a new phone that made me unable to access the old account. I don’t know. Regardless, I’m picking up from where I left off. After the comical intro things steadily get more and more serious. The sometimes cringe worthy hilarity is just part of the ramblings of a mad man. Also, there is blood, gore, and intense violence up to and including torture. (C’mon, they’re villains.) In my draft, I’m probably about to dive head first into some philosophical clamor. Hopefully this will make memorable and unique characters. Or maybe make you think… & No, this isn’t satirical wish fulfillment fueled by the recent economic downturns. On Koltin_0562’s version I mentioned I wrote some of this years ago. Enjoy~ ;)

Her Broken Alpha

"Kelsey," Jason's voice was a mere whisper as he pulled her closer, their lips almost touching. Her eyes closed instinctively, her breath hitching in anticipation of what was to come. It was a moment of surrender and vulnerability that had never before been seen in him. Jason, also known as Alpha Rafe, was the revered leader of the Silver Moon Pack. His striking good looks and piercing gaze were matched only by his strength and bravery. His authority was unquestioned, and he had long since accepted the solitude that came with his position. However, the fiery Kelsey had managed to pique his interest in a way no one else had before. In that moment, standing on the precipice of something entirely new and terrifying, he felt a flicker of something he couldn't quite put into words. It was a warmth, a stirring sensation in his chest, something he had believed himself incapable of feeling. There was a moment's hesitation, and then he gave in, surrendering to the intense desire that pulsed between them. Their lips met in a gentle collision, a silent confession of the turmoil that raged within him. The passion that sparked that kiss was intense and overwhelming, leaving him breathless. When they finally pulled apart, he looked into Kelsey's eyes, seeing his own fears and vulnerabilities mirrored back at him. She had become his only confidante and his only hope for redemption. Her presence—her very existence—was a lifeline he hadn't known he needed. In this riveting tale of forbidden desires, courage, and human resilience, they are forced to confront their deepest fears and darkest secrets. Their quest to protect their pack and each other presents unforeseen challenges, and perhaps, just perhaps, Jason might discover that the most dangerous journey is the one that leads to the heart.
