Mayoraa
Humans build massive labyrinthian structures underneath the earth in order to do away with the reeking turds that come out of their assholes on a daily basis. Mountains and mountains of shit, supposedly flushed away out of sight and out of mind. But in truth, the whole world is made of shit; physical shit, verbal shit, conceptual shit, mental shit, the shit that haunts your dreams at night, chasing you through darkened hallways that seem to go on forever. At an art gallery on the other side of your town, a curator is admiring the work of a cracked-out junkie, an abstract painting made with his blood, pus, and shit on a massive sheet of off-white canvas. He nods and produces a subtle Mona Lisa smile as he internally blocks out the wretched stench wafting towards his mustache-laden face. "Mhmm... I value this work at 2 bazillion dollars." The junkie twitches with uncontrolled excitement at this pronouncement. Back across town, you're sitting in the bedroom of your apartment, located directly above the spot in an alleyway where someone's mee-maw got hacked to death by a machete-wielding schizoid maniac just a day ago, her brown curdled blood still drying in the cracks between the bricks. Attacks like that are routine these days. It didn't even make the evening news. On your phone screen, a female "book influencer" with ample breasts, caked-on makeup, and a thousand-yard SSRI stare bemoans the fact that "men are less empathetic and media literate because they don't read books anymore!" Suddenly, all of the metaphysical mental shit that has been flushed into the swirling void of the global infosphere travels through unseen psychokinetic piping to congeal in front of you in the form of this very book.Complete![[Holo-Gamer] BlueLight Volume](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/342481290-256-k368843.jpg)

The Iron Guardian (A Human x Anthro Superhero Story)
A 22-year-old human boy builds a suit of armor, testing it only to inadvertently cause himself to escape the Earth's atmosphere, drifting off into a deep cryonic sleep, after tens of thousands of days in this frozen state. Then, after what feels like a long time drifting in space, he wakes up, entering a planet, believing he is re-entering Earth's atmosphere. However, when he lands roughly on the dunes of a beach, he realizes that the world he has entered is not Earth at all, but a society filled with anthropomorphic beings. Thinking this might be the only thing that exists, he is soon confronted with an attack in their city, where they are saved by superheroes who happen to be anthropomorphic creatures with superpowers, adorned in costumes that symbolize themselves. It seems unbelievable that they are real. In my world back on Earth, they were fictional and mythical icons found in comic books, movies, and TV shows. After rescuing a superhero from an encounter with a monstrous reptile-like creature in the city, he retreats to the woods. He hides for about a year, living and trying to gather as much knowledge as he can about this new world and the superheroes it contains. He believes he is living an easy life, away from the foreign society. But after saving a school bus filled with anthropomorphic kids from a disastrous fall, ensuring they would not be left behind, he is discovered again. However, at his long-awaited hiding spot, he was in the woods. He was greeted by an anthropomorphic tiger who happened to be the director of the superhero protection agency (SPA) and offered him a place in it.
Hero Time (Composite Ben 10 reader x Multiple Crossovers)
"In a world where Grimm, Danger Beasts, Monsters, and notorious villains run rampant, there are those who stand against them. Benders, Huntsmen, Heroes, people who have the power to fight them, for the sole purpose of defending the innocent. At least some of them. Other guys just want to prove how powerful they are, and push around people without powers. I learned that the hard way. My name is Y/n Tennyson. I'm 20 years old, and I am in possession of the most powerful alien weapons, in the universe. When I was little, people like Bakugo and Issei picked on me everyday, just because I was too powerless to do anything. So one day, I decided to drop out of Union Academy and went on a cross country road trip with my grandpa and cousin. Then on our first stop, I went out on a walk where a meteor fell out of the sky and crashed right in front of me. But, as it turns out, it wasn't a meteor, but a pod containing a watch that, once stuck upon your wrist, could turn you into any alien you want. Needless to say that my life went uphill from there. I traveled across the galaxy, saved it from blowing up. Fought a giant alien, AS a giant alien. Stopped a race from destroying the universe. Blew up my watch. Got a new one. Dated a tennis player, and broke up with her. Fought a giant alien, as a giant alien AGAIN, this time in Tokyo. Killed an interdimensional demon along with my archnemesis. And made friends with a Slimebiote named Skurd. Now me and my friends are unlicensed heroes who defend the world from destruction. Mainly because it's the right thing to do, but partially to show Union Academy what kind of hero I am now. And I can't wait to see the look on their faces."
