Lazy Salvation

Hushfire
“The boogeyman of Outer Gods, protector of Earth, humanity’s last stand—Miratheris’s son has returned.” I was drowning in sloth. The color of life had drained from my eyes, leaving only shades of grey. Doing anything felt like punishment. Looking for a job? A laughable idea. I did everything I could to stay disconnected from reality. Gambling. Drinking. Even suicidal stunts. Anything to escape the numbness that clawed at my mind for even a second. But everything comes at a cost. I abandoned my family. Broke the heart of the only woman who ever loved me. And wasted every damn day like it didn’t matter. I became the kind of man society throws out with the trash. But life didn’t spare me. Not even when I hit rock bottom. Deceived, shackled, and sold into another world— I spent the rest of my days as a slave. Forced to fight monsters ripped straight out of myth. At the very end, all I could do… was wish. Just one more chance. One shot to make things right. … Born a prodigy, Ashen Hart moved through life like a golden boy. What others worked for, he mastered with ease. At first, it felt like a blessing. The validation, pride, and accomplishment felt sweet. But even honey spoils when you’re drowning in it. The more success he tasted, the more hollow it all became. And when a mysterious power awakened within him, letting him see moments into the future— The world lost all color. And then all meaning… Nothing could surprise him. Nothing could move him. He spiraled. Ashen threw it all away—ambition, love, purpose— and embraced the slow death of apathy. But fate wasn’t done with him. Kidnapped by a shadowy organization and forced into a hidden war, he learned a truth: he wasn’t special. He was fodder. Cannon meat to delay the inevitable. But somewhere, buried beneath sloth and cynicism, the genius stirred. The apathy rotted away. And Ashen Hart, the failure, became Ashen Hart, the wretched. The unkillable. From a discarded pawn to the final hope of mankind. And when it was over—when even the gods had fallen— he was left alone. At his dying breath, the Earth’s spirit, Miratheris, answered his plea. She rewound time, giving him one last shot. But not without a price. She kept his memories intact… and delayed their return just enough so his younger self could bear the weight. Ashen’s second life begins now— and the monsters, both within and beyond, are about to learn what regret truly feels like. ═══⟲══════⟲══════⟲═══ All chapters are unlocked.

THE BAD BOY AND THE REBELLIOUS GIRL

TITLE: THE BAD BOY AND THE REBEL GENRE: DARK ROMANCE SYNOPSIS: Lorenzo De Santis, twenty-two years old, was known for his turbulent past and his unmistakable bad-boy reputation. Charming, dangerous, untamable… his name alone was enough to inspire both respect and fear. Women fell at his feet, but none had ever managed to change him. His father, worried for his future, searched for a way to give him responsibility and maturity, and ultimately to protect him from the dangers surrounding him. Chloé Martin, seventeen, was the complete opposite: stubborn, insolent, and fiercely brave. She never let anyone walk over her and loved challenging authority. Her life turned upside down the day her father, desperate and in need of money for a life-saving surgery, announced that she would have to marry a stranger: the son of his boss, Lorenzo. A decision imposed by the adults, yet one hiding truths and intentions far more complex than they imagined. For Lorenzo, this arranged marriage was a challenge set by his father: to learn how to handle responsibilities and take care of someone. For Chloé, it was a daily battle: she refused to submit, determined to challenge every order and resist every attempt at control from her husband. Between rebellion, provocation, and explosive confrontations, the tension between them keeps growing. But beneath the anger and conflict lies a dangerous, irresistible attraction… How will Chloé resist Lorenzo? Will Lorenzo be able to tame his rage and win her heart? One thing is certain: this marriage will be anything but ordinary.

Elf With A Template System In The MCU

This is a story about a man who dies on Earth and is reincarnated by Morgan Freeman (God) into the MCU. This MCU will contain elements of other franchises, such as the F4 and X-Men. Rio is turned into an Elf, specifically the LotR variety, with some minor changes here and there. He is also given a Template System. This system allows him to grow in power the more templates of characters he assimilates. The System also has a few features that can be unlocked over time, but Rio will discover these in time. If you ever have any suggestions for a template idea, tell me, I might add them in as I preplan his templates ahead of time to give the story a nice progression. And if I don't want to or decide not to use the idea, I will usually tell you why. Rio will be thrust into the MCU about half a year before events kick off, giving little prep time. He'll have to be careful in a world that doesn't cleanly follow the MCU timeline due to the addition of unexpected people. And importantly, how is he supposed to do anything with point elf ears without looking like a cosplayer? Eh, he'll figure it out. Probably. Maybe. Now, as for what you can expect in terms of his personality. First off, he will be a hero... Sort of. He'll have no issue killing someone if they are a threat or will become a threat. But he won't mindlessly kill everyone he sees. I know the MCU sort of doesn't have that many heroes with no kill rules, but I just wanted to make that clear now. I would probably place him as a Lawful Neutral to Chaotic Neutral if that helps. Also expect him to be an assassin build in the early chapters, but he might evolve into something else as the story progresses. There will be a harem, but as with basically all my stories, the harem and romance are never the main focus and almost always take place at the end of the story. So it's Harem, but also for the most part it's not. So if you hate harem stories because they do the gotta catch 'em all, don't worry, I try to keep it to three or less. But it's your choice if you want to pass on this story. And the slots haven't been filled yet, so if you have suggestions, let me know. Also, since this has been complained about a few times, I will just reveal what worlds are actual crossovers with this fic, as in the exist in the setting of the story, but this is a multiverse fic, so there will be some multiversal travel. They are as follows. Lara Croft, Transformers, Aliens, John Wick, Underworld (Barely), and that's basically it. I say barely for Underworld, as really only Selene appears for plot reasons, which is really small and has little to change in the story. There are references, such as Rio's last name being Pines and living near the Mystery Shack, but they are not crossovers; they are just neat references for those who know. There are several of these spread throughout the novel, so if this is upsetting to you, I would suggest skipping this novel. ----------------------- Now, for the details on what you can expect from me. I will make the chapters around 1500-2000 words, and I anticipate releasing them Monday-Friday. Except for the occasional holiday, in which I may release two chapters. If you notice any errors or mistakes in any of my content, then let me know, and I will usually fix it, and if I don't, then I will at least let you know why. I read almost all the comments, so let me know what you think. Lastly, I use Grammarly, but both it and I can make grammar mistakes, so let me know if you find any. Until next time, Ciao.
