Unintended Deception

Ben Architecture, although still at its infancy has become one of the biggest and most reputable architecture firms in the country and Leia Clark is their top architect. Talented and smart, it wasn't enough, the stigma of being illegitimate was something she can never live down. Not getting hired on any position she wanted, she decided to put up her own firm but she knows that if she puts her name on the door, no client will come. Hence, the birth of Ben Architecture and its elusive owner, Benjamin Archibald. Though Ben was a mere illusion, a figment of her imagination, one she came up with while building her firm, he is fast becoming a name to be reckoned with when it comes to architectural designs. He is the best! So she is quite confident that no one would push into meeting him as long as she gets the work done and she exudes professionalism when representing him. But her number one rival, Jack Garlan, was very curious about Ben Archibald and set about motions to learn about the elusive man. Jack’s plan derails when he meets Leia and feels the attraction, his quest to get to know Ben becomes a quest to get to know Leia. This newfound quest becomes even more possible when a new project comes in requiring them to work together. As they begin working together, sharing work challenges and getting to know each other, their attraction grows. But will the secret Leia holds become the thing to drive them apart or will their love survive the deception and soar to new heights?

Ascension Code: Reborn in the DC Universe

He was in his early twenties when the world decided to end for him. A computing prodigy, educated at MIT, someone who understood systems, patterns, and limits better than most. In his previous life, power didn’t come from fists, but from the mind — lines of code capable of shaping digital realities. Then he died. And was born again. Reincarnated into the DC Universe as a helpless baby, he grew up in a world where gods walk among humans, where vigilantes defy the impossible, and where power is rarely fair — or free. While others trusted destiny, chance, or inherited gifts, he trusted only one thing: process. Memory intact. Intellect intact. Ambition intact. From an early age, he understood a simple and cruel truth: in that world, those who do not grow are crushed. And so, far from the spotlight of the League, he began to build something forbidden — his own Artificial Intelligence, created not to save the world, but to optimize it. To make him stronger. More efficient. More prepared to survive among monsters, aliens, and symbols. While heroes were born from tragedy, he forged himself in silence. While villains sought external power, he engineered it from within. This is not the story of a chosen one. It is the story of someone who decided to become inevitable. Between code and chaos, science and superhumans, begins the rise of a man who does not believe in miracles — only in evolution. This story was inspired by a fanfiction I read years ago — a work I deeply admire and still reread to this day. Unfortunately, that story was never continued. This project is not a continuation, rewrite, or replacement of that original work. It is an independent story, created with its own plot, characters, and direction, merely inspired by the ideas and feelings that the original story left with me. Out of respect, I want to properly credit the source of my inspiration below: Original Story Title: Pyroclasm (Young Justice SI) Original Author: Fulcon Original Story Link: https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/pyroclasm-young-justice-si.664558/ If you enjoyed this story, I highly recommend checking out the original work and supporting its author. Reader Notice If you like the story but don’t like harem: fuck off. This story has harem. If you like the story but don’t like gore: fuck off too. This story has gore. The tags are there. If you don’t like it, read the tags and don’t read the story. Simple as that. I’m not changing the story to please everyone. It was written this way from the start. If you want to read early chapters, they will be available on my Patreon. I’m not promising 10 or 20 chapters ahead — maybe just a few, maybe more later — but there will be early content there. I’m taking my time with this story because I want it to be good, not rushed. That takes time, revision, and proper development. If this kind of story is for you, welcome. If not, just move on. Simple. Criticism and comments are always welcome. Thank you, and enjoy your reading!

The Wrong Enemy

Five teens are sent on a secret mission to a prestigious school to spread a virus. But before their first week is over, one of them is shot, a vial of the virus is stolen, and suspicion tears them apart. Soon they realize it was all a setup, and that the traitor is one of them. As suspicion consumes the group, they revive a childhood game once used to expose liars. Instead, it turns them against each other. Now they are both the hunter and the hunted. _____________________________ Content Warnings This story contains mature themes: Gangs & crime-related themes. Offensive humor. Profanity and harsh language. Emotional manipulation & betrayals. Alcohol, smoking, and drug use. May contain bullying. Homosexual and heterosexual relationships. Teen pregnancy and miscarriage (not depicted graphically). Reader discretion is advised. If any of the above makes you uncomfortable, this may not be the story for you. Also keep in mind that this is not 100% fictional since it's inspired by real people I have personally met (read author's note before proceeding). What to Expect: 1- A mix of mystery, comedy and drama. 2- No explicit sexual scenes. 3- Multiple POV styles (alternating between first person and third person). 4- Dual mysteries in two different timelines, and many subplots. 5- An intimate perspective into how gangs work in real life. 6- If you know me in real life, don't read this.

No need to call me slow, I already know!!! (((If you made it this far in the description, I hope you don't take this story seriously. It should be more amusing than serious.)))
