DC: The Phantom Thief of Gotham (Hiatus)

Negative_29
"Phantom Thief Kid. The public has branded him with many titles: the Gentleman Thief, the Magician Under the Moonlight, the Miracle Maker... yet not a soul knows his true face. His name, age, height, and even his gender remain an enigma. He is, without question, the most mysterious figure in the world." — Gotham Gazette "Gotham, Metropolis, Star City, Central City, Coast City... Phantom Thief Kid’s footprints span the globe. Nearly every renown superhero has attempted to apprehend him, yet none have succeeded. Not a single one!" — Daily Planet "I once dismissed Phantom Thief Kid as a mere burglar, but I was mistaken. His capabilities are esoteric and uncanny, and his motives remain obscure. While he may not be a villain in the traditional sense, his volatility poses a risk that could lead to catastrophic consequences." — Batman "I have to admit, I admire him. It takes a rare talent to wield slight-of-hand as if it were true sorcery. Sometimes, his illusions feel even more miraculous than the real thing." — Zatanna "The first time we met, he swiped my Power Ring right off my finger. I didn't even notice when he made his move." — The Greatest Green Lantern in History "Phantom Thief Kid? Oh, I loathe him! What’s that? You want to know why? Hah! Oh, for heaven's sake, what a foolish question. Tell me, would you fall in love with the person who stole your only playmate?" — Mr. J (Who wishes to remain anonymous) "Phantom Thief Kid is nothing but a despicable, shameless copycat! Gotham has room for only one criminal mastermind who utilizes riddles!" — ??? [Note: This is an unofficial translation.

Bending the Straight Alpha

Dahmer Lukas is a man of chilling precision and unparalleled intellect. As an "Enigma"—the rarest, most elusive and strongest personality type in the omegaverse—he functions more like a machine than a man. Cold, calculated, and entirely devoid of emotions, he runs a massive scientific empire with one singular focus: Project Z. His goal is as ambitious as it is controversial: to synthesize a serum capable of pacifying the hyper-aggressive Alpha population. To complete the formula, he requires a biological sample from the world's most powerful Alphas. He has successfully harvested samples from every target—except one: Malcom Ford, the ruthless CEO of Deviloy Technology Company Malcom is an anomaly in his own right. Known for his cold, unyielding nature, he never releases during intercourse, keeping his genetic essence locked away. Dahmer orchestrates a masterfully deceptive plan: He adopts the guise of a wide-eyed, vulnerable Omega intern, and infiltrates Deviloy Technology. His objective is simple: seduce Malcom, trigger the impossible release, and secure the sperm sample for his research. But there are two major complications: Malcom Ford is staunchly, aggressively uninterested in men. He views his own biological urges as a weakness to be controlled, and he is immune to the typical ploys of those trying to get close to him. To infiltrate Malcom’s guarded inner circle, Dahmer must learn to mimic expressing emotions. He studies the art of a smile, the mechanics of a genuine laugh, and the physical act of crying. But as he performs these human behaviors to manipulate Malcom, something begins to shift. The more Dahmer acts, the more his own cold, Enigma logic begins to fray. Dahmer Lukas set out to dissect Malcom Ford, but as the lines between deception and desire blur, he realizes he is the one being dismantled. Can a man who has never felt love survive the fire of an S-tier Alpha who refuses to be tamed?

Claimed by the Prince of Darkness

Eighteen-year-old Ruelle Belmont has learned to be useful and grateful, because in her family love is given only to those who earn it. When her father’s debts grow beyond saving, she is sent to Sexton, a prestigious vampire institution that accepts one human from every household. But Sexton is no place for a human. Inside its halls, humans are not students. They are Groundlings, valued for their blood and how easily they can be broken. Favour is currency and cruelty is entertainment. And failure means being sold. Ruelle soon discovers that the cold and dangerous pureblood she once crossed paths with is here as well. Worse, she is forced to share a room with him when she is hunted by a couple of vampiresses.  Lucian Slater watches her too closely for a man who claims to despise humans. Yet when Sexton’s predators begin to circle, he is the one who steps in to help her. And for the first time in her life, Ruelle is learning something she was never meant to believe. That she may be worth wanting. And in Sexton, being wanted is the most dangerous thing of all. ——————— The clock struck midnight when Ruelle heard the echo of footsteps. She tensed, the fine hairs on the back of her neck standing on end in the cool night air. "You shouldn't be here," Ruelle whispered, her voice a breathless murmur. The silhouette finally came to stand under the moonlight, his dark red eyes watching her and his inky black hair ruffling. "Shouldn't I?" His voice was a dark caress, and she stood there captivated by the danger he exuded like perfume. "I haven’t seen you for the last two days," his tone low. His hand reached out, fingers brushing against the silk of her dress, tracing the trembling outline of her collarbone. "Tell me, were you avoiding me, or perhaps... entertaining other offers?" Ruelle’s heart raced, her breaths shallow. She declared, "I don't belong to anyone.” "A bold claim," he murmured, his breath a tantalising chill against her skin as he leaned in. "Yet here you are, pulse racing, your body tensed as if in anticipation of my touch." His fingers gripped her chin, tilting her face towards his. The light caught his eyes, revealing a glint of predatory intent. "Or must I remind you whose touch you truly crave?"
