Misfits and Wildflowers: How I met my highschool sweetheart

alfredo_carbajal
(This story is heavily inspired by true event and tells the tale of how I met and ended up with my wife while we were in highschool 25 years ago) Set during 1999 in the sun-faded suburbs of El Paso, Texas, Shy and nerdy teen Alfie is convinced he will never experience love the way his friends have and will end up living the life of a monk. Things change for Alfie the moment he turned 15. Life is no longer what he once knew. During Summer school, Alfie meets a peculiar girl that he has become smitten by. Alfie is too shy to express any of his feelings to her and ends up missing an opportunity. Now entering the new school year, Alfie finds himself tangled in new feelings, old traumas, and the messy, hilarious chaos of adolescence. With a found family of punks, nerds, goths, and drama kids (affectionately known as the Island of Misfits), Alfie navigates crushes that sting, friendships that anchor, and breakups that echo through locker-lined hallways. Will Alfie ever fully experience what it's like to be in love? This is a coming-of-age story rooted in nostalgia, honesty, and the kind of emotional growth you only get from falling hard—and getting back up.

Oliver Omni: How I Became The Omniverse

Do you ever have one those days where you just look up and curse all of existence? Maybe you do, maybe you don't. Personally I couldn't care less. For those of you who have any sh**s to give, my name is Oliver Hartstead. I'm an 18 year old unemployed American citizen living in my mom's basement just like the rest of my Gen Z peers. Having just had my longstanding childhood dream of being a DC comics illustrator completely shredded by the ruthless world if employment, I was going batsh*t crazy in my car completely raging when a curious kid peeks in to my window. "Mommy? Why is that guy acting like a baby?" "Come on, honey. Teenagers aren't so different from toddlers. Just taller" As they walk away, my composure snaps completely. "F*** you too A**hole! You prolly married a rich a guy at 18! F*** my life! F*** life in general! F*** EXISTENCE!!!" BOOOM!!! A giant beam of energy vaporizes me instantaneously. Who says instant karma ain't real? I wake up in an odd white space. I try to sit up, only to realize that I'm a prisoner in my own mind. You know what's worse than being unemployed? Waking up as a backseat viewer in your 7 year old body that is being piloted by a fusion of your 7 year old self's consciousness and the newly formed consciousness of the Omniverse. My new life? The embodiment of the concept of existence. But hey, what could go wrong with having your idiotic first grade self in possession of the 3 O's and having all things in existence exist because he does? OO: Cool! I wanna go to DC and see superman! Me: Godd*mmit. ————————————————— This is an adventure story meant to be relaxing and and enjoyable to read. There will be no romance involving the MC, and it will be pretty slow paced. Please enjoy! ————————————————— World's to expect as of now: DC Random Cultivation World TMNT Star Wars Marvel MHA Invincible More to come I don't own any character accept the MC.

The Egyptian Heir: I Am the Heir of the Ultimate Evil, Set

"Evil in all civilizations is known—agreed upon—as something to be eradicated, for good always triumphs. But what if I told you evil is manufactured, not born? That a civilization crafted evil to create to be the world's hero? This civilization is Egypt—mother of all—who birthed Set: the ultimate evil and ultimate protector. I am heir to this evil... and this story's hero. Made to protect the world... or was the world made for me? No matter. Forget 'heroes rising from darkness'—here, darkness rises from heroes. The end begins: Egypt's secrets will unravel, the world's illusion will shatter. Gates to other realms, monsters, a bizarre energy system will change everything. The pyramids? Not tombs, but prisons sealing what existed before gods. Welcome to Egypt's truths—or lies? Every war, every revolution in history? Just moves in Egypt's ancient game. The smallest detail? Planned. So tell me: Am I in this game? Are you? Are you sure you're not trapped in this illusion? Do you truly know yourself? This is my story's world—and I won't appear until after Chapter 33. So read... and when you reach Chapter 33, remember: Did you choose to read... or were you chosen? I'll be waiting. Despair not—the best auction item comes last. When I appear? Don't lose your nerve. Love me or kill me—I am the World's Masterpiece. Savior or destroyer? I don't know. The truth? I don't know mine either. So explore... while I enjoy this life. You'll be this thrill's victim—whether you like it or not. I don't care. I am the chaos. P.S. Even the AI helping translate this can't craft a story like mine."
