Kimberly had always considered herself a quick study. She entered college with multiple credits already under her belt and could have graduated and gone into a career already. Heather’s medical degree was still a year away, so Kim had gone for her Doctorate. It also let her st...

An Endbringer, dead.
It was a dream come true, and a nightmare all the same. He had longed to be the one to finally strike down one of humanity’s greatest foes to prove himself to be the best chance they had against Scion when the time ca...

Poor Kim looked like a frightened hare about to be butchered at the market. A far cry from the resurrected Lilim everyone kept insisting her to be. Something she very much wa...

Thoughts drifted as though filtered through a thick gel, coming in bursts of lucidity that passed more like a dream than reality. In each, only darkness greeted her. Was she in hell? It would have been fitting given the horrors she had allowe...
