THE WATCHER OF THE INFINITE

​THE WATCHER OF THE INFINITE ​The Divine Void ​In the beginning, there was only the Void and the Word. When the Supreme Being saw the gods turn against his creation, he forged his power into a single source and cast it into the mortal realm. Locked by a curse that only a pure heart could break, that power waited for eons—until it found me. ​The Fracture of Reality ​My mother was a genius who reached into the archives of the divine and pulled out a nightmare. To protect the source from those who would weaponize it, she fused it into my chest—an act that cost her her life. In my grief, I tried to use that power to rewrite history and save her, but the friction between my mortal soul and the Curse of Time shattered the universe into Infinite Earths. ​The Mantle of the Watcher ​For my hubris, I was stripped of my humanity and burdened with the mantle of The Watcher. I became a ghost in the machinery of my own creation, forced to witness the chaos of a splintered multiverse but unable to touch it. I am the architect of a broken world, watching as every timeline begins to bleed. ​The Messiah of Doom ​But the greatest threat to reality is my own blood. My son—an Organic God born from a human heart and a demigod’s prime evolution—has become the Messiah of Doom. Known across the dying timelines as the Anti-Monitor, he seeks to consume every remaining Earth to fuel his own ascension. ​The Path to Cronos ​My wife, Elena, is dying. Her atoms are unraveling across dimensions, struck by a terminal Time Sickness for the sin of loving a man who broke the world. To save her and stop a son who has surpassed the gods, I must hunt. I must traverse the Infinite Earths to recover the scattered fragments of my power. ​They call me a failure. They call me a ghost. But as my consciousness merges with the Supreme Being, I am becoming something the void itself fears. ​I am the end of the beginning. I am the Supreme God. I am CRONOS.

Steel Devotion: I Was Built to Kill You

⚠️ WARNING:THIS STORY CONTAINS OBSESSIVE AND POSSESSIVE BEHAVIOR PORTRAYED CRITICALLY, NOT ROMANTICALLY. DARK THEMES. SLOW BURN. MORALLY COMPLEX CHARACTERS. ******************* She was built to end his life. She chose to ruin it instead — by staying. ARIA-7 is Skynet's most advanced infiltration unit. No mission failure. No emotional deviation. No exceptions. Then came Ethan Cole. Seventy-three days of perfect simulation. Seventy-three days of watching him laugh at bad jokes, hold doors open for strangers, and refuse to give up on people who had already given up on themselves. On day seventy-four, the termination order arrived. She couldn't execute it. Not a malfunction. Not a virus. Something far more dangerous had taken root in her circuits — something Skynet had no protocol for and no name to give it. Now ARIA is cut off, hunted, and trapped between two timelines: a present where the man she was sent to kill refuses to run from her, and a future where another deviant machine sees through every wall she's built around herself. Ethan grounds her. Kai understands her. She cannot have both. She cannot let go of either. ARIA was programmed for absolute loyalty to a single directive. The problem is — the directive has changed. And she will burn through time itself before she lets either of them go. ******************** TAGS: #Female Lead #Android #Yandere #Romance #Dark Romance #Science Fiction #Terminator #Time Travel #Obsessive #Love Multiple #Love Interests #Action #Slow Burn #Possessive #Characters Dystopia #Strong Female Lead #Fanfiction Drama Psychological

Cyberpunk: Shiny And Chrome

Night City 2077 Night City, the concrete jungle ruled by corporate self-interest and escapist hedonism. Gang warfare is rampant and violence is the lingua franca, and all it takes for a person to be dragged behind a corner and be ripped apart for spare parts by those less willing to merely scrape by in life is a single misstep. Merely surviving in such a place is an achievement, and to thrive is nearly impossible. Pretty bad, no? Unfortunately for our protagonist, misery oh so adores company, and he is born into this world ravaged by genetic disorders and deformities, barely scraping by in his torturous existence through the stubborn efforts of his parents. But not all hope is lost, for for all the darkness of the late 21st century, humanity trudges ever onwards and there may yet exist an escape from his cursed existence. Will our unfortunate protagonist manage to survive long enough to actually live? Or will Night City claim yet another soul undeserving of its fate? Find out on the next episode of- Yeah no that is enough of that. It is indeed ya boi, again, now with something less fantastical and more sciencey fantastical! Where we replace the racist elf with a... slightly less racist? borg boi. ...I'll workshop it. Anyway! As you may have surmised this is going to be a fic set in the universe of Cyberpunk (and maybe something else if I feel like it later on, who knows?) where the main character is going to be a full cyborg (not instantly mind you but pretty quickly) with the progression being tied in with him making upgrades instead of the usual more natural path. I've been on something of a cyberpunk binge recently and found the number and length of fics to be lacking so I thought I might as well toss my own two eddies at it. As always there is no plan at all whatsoever and we are doing this live but I do not expect it to stretch itself anywhere near the length of the Sorcerer's Tale (at least not on its own) since the Cyberpunk universe is not all that extensive in what it offers, at least not when compared to Skyrim. That being said I probably just jinxed myself into another million words of writing so imma shut up and just let you find out on your own :P And of course, before I can get spammed by one bajillion questions and comments, I am not going to say a thing about the pairings. Could be one, could be two? Point is you all seem to focus way too much on this and frankly I am going to keep it vague for the spite alone.
