Electa Aster, known to everyone as Lainey, was left to the foster care system as a newborn, never really knowing who or where she came from. This makes it quite surprising that she is able to attend the Cerebres state university, one of the oldest schools in America, known for its rich past and surrounding folklore. There, she only wants to study astronomy but is soon bombarded with truths about her real identity, that may put her in danger. Piecing together with her new group of friends, Lainey learns that she is the supposed saviour of an underground group of magical people, the res, lost in war to their similarly magical counterparts, the cerebs. And this entire time they have been just under their feet! Will Lainey be able to revive the powers of her people and will she find out who her family really is?

**Disclaimer** This series is HEAVILY inspired by (if not a retelling) of the Youtube series Aspen heights, created by AGsmiless!! All creative rights go to Alexis and her work, and I highly recommend you watch the series (although warning: it is unfinished) because I will be basing a lot of the earlier plot and characters on the series. I simply wanted to create a story that goes deeper into world she made and get to give my interpretation of it. Enjoy!!

Talia Mako knows that secrecy is vital.

Keeping her abilities under wraps is absolutely necessary, and imperative for every superhuman (even if her friend Caster has something to say about it.). The government’s already bad enough, so who knows what they’d do if they discovered superpowers?

Talia doesn’t want to find out.

… Until she does.

Until a life-threatening incident and a quick slip-up exposes the realm of superhumans for good, and the damage can’t be undone.

Talia’s on her own — her life gets flipped around instantly, and she hates her new way of living. Stuck in one building — the complex of an organization called PowerGen — with about 35 other superhumans, she’s unable to do anything other than train and get taken in for experiments on the rare occasion.

She hates it. Hates it, hates it, hates it.

And yet there’s no going back. Only moving forward. Only changing the life she has now, even if she needs to climb over a mountain of doubt just to do so.

Because if she really wants to get out of here, she can’t stop at just anything.

I felt myself begin to sway the thirst grew stronger matching the intensity of the music. When I couldn't take much more a set of drums joined the symphony. I felt each bang vibrate through my skull I knew I had to drink. Greedily I tip the cup back swallowing what I thought would be warm but to my surprise, the thick liquid was chilled. I shut my eyes tight it seemed the music stopped the moment the last drop passed my lips. The thirst was gone and my head felt steady if anything I had a light buzz.

I thought about this story in senior high rught after I had been admitted to my first bordingschool. I had a friend,kieron was his name, who wsa workingon this story about vampires and warewolves and he would write in this tiny notebook, very exciting whenvever we would sit under the stars talking about it.Then it hit me! if he can write one too then I can though I had no idea what i was going to write since it would my first time I just opened up and spent all my prep time jotting a chapter. My ideas was to create something sensational filled with magic, world building and adventure of two worlds existing parallel from the other, it became a school sensation because everyone wanted to get their hands on it; however, I wrote this story because since I was a kid I have always dreamed of living my life in a world behind reality and physics so each line I jotted down was a visual image of the world I dreamed of existing and slowly, I was getting there.

I wanted to make a cartoonish story that has crazy situations starred by silly and entertaining guys, with sections where things can be serious. And I'm already starting to publish it! I want Chaotic School to be half hilarious and funny situations and half cool moments and development. But I'm not going to lie that I like to do funny situations more. I'm sure it will be a very entertaining story. Enjoy Chaotic School!

I initially started this story to redo a plotline of Modern Warfare 2 when task force 141 was straight up executed. Wanting to keep that, I wrote a story of about 50 thousands words, and then stopped. I rewatched some anime, like Violet Evergarden and Fate series, and scrapped the old project and rewrote it to fit a more literary feel towards it, and reading much more, I wrote this story for veterans in need, to bring to light the conditions they sometimes face. Many readers have told me this story feels real, and those who lived through the horrors of war said the descriptions are completely accurate.Note: This is not for the faint of heart, and it is dark for many reasons, reasons you'll fine wherein. I hope you enjoy!
