SideKick | Shit Hero

Working is hard. Being a hero too. Doing both at the same time, for half the pay, is hell. Every day, Arthur wakes up early to sweep the filthy streets of Lumière in exchange for a pittance, zero recognition, and a terrible smell that seeps through his clothes and clings to his body. But when monsters appear and the city needs someone, he’s the one who steps up. Not to defeat them, of course, but because, apparently, no one else wants to clean up the mess that the real heroes leave behind. At the end of the day, his only consolation is heading to the corner diner, where the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen works. There, between a hot sandwich and a shy smile, Arthur almost forgets that he’s the lowest-paid (and most ridiculous) hero in Lumière. What kind of shit hero is this? A.N.: A short story set in the cyberpunk heroes universe of higgscrowl (Radiant).

Hit Kiss and Run!

[The adventure of a former secret military operative and a content creator with an insatiable thirst for sensation is only just beginning. Everyone, grab your snacks!] Janya stared at Orn as if the girl had just saved the world—with nothing but lip balm. “Seriously? You brought face powder to a freaking firefight?” she muttered, counting the last few bullets in her magazine. Orn smiled and patted her own cheek. “I’m not dying ugly!” Janya let out a deep sigh and glanced at the girl beside her, who was busy applying lipstick. “What kind of stupid logic is that?!” “Content creator logic.” Orn winked. “Trauma first, go viral later, P’Kirin.” Janya briefly stared up at the sky as bullets whizzed towards them. For a split second, she considered giving up on life altogether. “If we make it out alive,” she said quietly, “I’m leaving you in the middle of the jungle. For real this time!”

Star Chronicles: Embers Of The Calamity

Let Power Be Your Truth. Your Light. And Your Chains. That was the first law granted to the Nyxvalis clan. For thirty-eight generations it held. Through fire and blood, through empire and ruin, through centuries of war waged in the name of a bloodline that had long since ceased to be merely human. It held — and in holding, built a monolith so absolute that the world stopped asking whether it could fall. Then came the 39th Flame. Seven hundred and thirty-one entered the Chambers of Night. Forty-seven crawled back out. Not an army. Not a dynasty. An ember — dim, diminished, and already encircled by enemies who had spent years sharpening their finest wolves in anticipation of its arrival. A heresy in numbers alone. A silent warning to those still bold enough to hear it: If a monolith can tremble — so too can it fall. As the world prepares to record the embers in its annals, so must its instruments play their parts. Those duty-bound to hold the monolith in place. Those eager to test the might of a millennium of power. And the forty-seven — carrying a smiling ember within. A dark gothic world of political deceit and ancient bloodlines. Empires built on inherited violence. Power forged in law and broken in shadow. And beneath it all — the slow, certain rot of institutions that have never once been held accountable. This is the world of The Star Chronicles. A story about survival without innocence. Legacy worn like chains. And the particular kind of power that doesn't free you — it simply decides how you burn.

The Librarian Who Accidentally Raised the Seven Calamities

The Librarian Who Accidentally Raised the Seven Calamities In a world where talent is everything, Cael von Reinhart was born a void. No mana, no potential, and most disturbingly—no voice. Abandoned by his father and exiled to the dustiest corners of the Great Duchy’s library, the world saw a useless mute. But they were wrong. Inside Cael’s mind, an ancient lock had clicked open: [The Great Archive of Ruin]. To the world, he is a fragile boy who cannot speak. To the System, he is the only Librarian capable of recording the end of existence. His task? To find and raise seven broken children who are destined to become the villains that destroy the world. "I don’t want to be a hero, and I certainly don't want to be a god," Cael thought, his face a mask of cold indifference. "I just wanted to read in peace." Little did he know, every time he turned a page, the world trembled in fear of the 'Silent Sovereign.'
