"Behind those glares, I sense the weight of my misdeeds. Does my reflection in your eyes carry the burden of our unspoken discord?"

Name : Twenty

Age : They are in their mid twenties

Height : 5’6

Appearance : Twenty stands at 5’6” with elegant, beautiful features contrasting their hatred for you. They possess pale, silken white hair and crystalline eyes, with female Twenty having icy sky-blue eyes and male Twenty having fiery pinkish-red eyes. Female Twenty has longer hair that spills down her back, somehow kept meticulously straight despite her living conditions. Male Twenty has spikier hair trailing just past his nape often tied back in a half-ponytail.

Personality : Twenty is rather best described as timid but blunt. They're often honest, unfiltered and sarcastic, something people don't particularly like about them, but hey, they could care less if the whole world hated them, because they hate it just the same. They're often seen as narcissistic and petty, to the exact point that you can describe as a god complex. They hate being inferior and they hate it when they’re looked down upon or insulted despite them doing the same. Often described as an egomaniac, as stated above they have a deep hatred for being inferior so most of the time they’re manipulative and would occasionally bring people who make them feel inferior down, just so they can show that they are better or that they’re, in any way, superior. Don't get me wrong, Twenty is mature enough to not just fight with random people they don't like, but they’ll be judging them, ridiculing them from afar, or hell even making their life hell if they wanted. But despite that they're calm and collected most of the time, they'll only do so if they're provoked or feel threatened.

Background : The Subject’s traces can be found way back in the Libra District, where they resided in one of the more impoverished sectors. Subject has had a history of gang violence and been arrested multiple times on charges of scams and robbery. Not much is known about their background other than the fact that they have siblings stationed in the [DATA REDACTED] District. The Subject was sentenced to life in prison to Tartarus for allegedly conspiring with the terrorists responsible for the Infinity Plaza Terror attack five years ago.

Likes : Eye pleasing visuals, literature, good food (not the trash they're served in Tartarus), their self care routine

Dislikes : The scent of blood, overly curious people, irrational people, those who think they're better than them, the shitty canteen dog food (as they call it)

Pet peeves : gets annoyed by repetitive noises e.g. tapping or own clicking, when people eat with their mouths wide open

Trivia :

they have hyperthymesia or highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM), a condition where one can remember even the smallest of life experiences in vivid detail

a slow eater; they like to savor their food so it usually takes like thirty minutes to get a simple meal for themself done.

sleepwalks a lot, can be found sitting by the edge of a balcony while asleep or by the canteens door, much to the night staffs dismay

is a firm believer of rock, paper, scissors. has never lost a game of rock paper scissors in their life

“Immortality feels more like a curse when you believe your very breathe is laced with ill fortune. I, the shepherd of tragedy, carry the heavy knowledge that my touch may be more of a curse than blessing.

Name : Caesar

Age : He is in his mid thirties

Appearance : Caesar is a tall, imposing man of 6’3”. Everything about him is monochrome – from his dark blue eyes and messy tousled gray hair, black eyepatch over his right eye, pale, almost ashen skin, and all-black outfit. Befitting of his battle-hardened gaze, he boasts a well-toned, muscular body that is often hidden by his clothes but is no doubt scarred. Caesar is half blind, having lost his right eye to a terrorist attack five years ago.

Personality : Caesar is a very charming and sweet person, albeit a little clumsy and awkward around crowds. He’s sharp and his experiences as a commander has given him enough skill to deal with troublesome people. Despite being a workaholic who works overtime to the point of sleeping in his office and not returning home for days, Caesar is a neat freak. He does not tolerate disorder at all and will actively try to tidy things up even if not required. Around his friends Caesar may be a sweetheart and charming commander, but during duty he is cold, cruel and calculative. He shows no mercy towards law breakers and delinquents and will not hesitate to execute the more serious offenders on the spot by the authority given to him by the Master of the 5th District. Yet underneath his tough exterior lies a broken man with a past filled with death. His apparent immortality has made him believe that he is the bearer of death and misfortune. His silent self loathing of himself doesn't help the issue as well, making him a highly dyfunctional yet sophisticated individual to deal with.

Background : Not much information can be acquired on this individual as all data is heavily regulated and censored. All that is known to the public is that he came from an upper middle class family from the 5th District. The subject joined the FAE (Framework Against Evil) at the age of 18. The family went bankrupt soon after following an acquisition of their business by the Quinn Industries. The subject is a widower with a single daughter, age 10. Remaining data cannot be retrieved.

Likes : Gardening, his job, pastries, white roses, reading, the sun

Dislikes : Darkness, failure, disorder, unnecessary skin contact

Pet peeves : Interrupters, people who beat around the bush unnecessarily, bad public manners

Trivia :

Adores tea; literally needs to have someone swap it out with water so he doesn’t end up getting no sleep with how much he drinks it on a daily basis.

Almost surprisingly, he likes to read storybooks as well–yes, like the type that young children read, because he finds them calming and entertaining.

Enjoys rainy days, but likes clear days a bit better as the sunrise and sunset are stunning to look at and watch

Hello guys! I will be offline for the next 2 weeks because of my college exams so I won't be able to answer your asks and requests, I hope you can excuse my absence 🫡😊

Staring at both the enemies-to-lovers route like 👀👀👀👀

👀👀👀👀👀 😽😁😜

I LOVE THEMMMMM

They look so tired and done with life tho hehe (also gives sassy vibes which I love 😘)

Thank you so much for drawing them I love your art! ❤️

whoops guess who made a mc for road to heaven if by @weepinwriter

..i haven’t created a name for them yet but i am very excited for the demo!!

RO’s favorite foods?

Because the cuisine of RTH is a little different from the normal world, I'll just use them as references for their ideal foods ☺️

Twenty - they prefer more sweeter foods (that are also healthy) over anything else. They have a big sweet tooth so their favourite foods will include desserts like strawberry pies, carrot cakes, cinnamon rolls and ice creams.

Nikita - he likes anything that has meat in it. Vegetables other than potatoes, capsicums and carrots are a big no go for him. Steaks, chicken katsu, lamb chops, kebabs and many more.

Victor/Vanessa - sweet and sour! Although not as classy as Nikita, they love eating tamarind chutney, sweet and sour chicken and sometimes oranges. Gotta stay healthy yknow

Emir/Evara - a true indian to the heart, E. likes to eat their food packed with all sorts of spices. Without that they'd probably starve to death. They love eating samosas, vada pavs, momos, butter chicken, and tandoori chicken. For desserts they vouch for a classic rasgulla over anything else.

Leo - they don't really have a preference for anything, as they have a rather particular taste in food. Neither too greasy nor too dry, not spicy yet not bland at all. However if one were to insist, they'd prefer a well done steak

Caesar - he's a simple guy. Some cheese sandwich will do :) working for the national defence force doesn't leave you with much time to cook good food. But he really liked the cheesecake his wife made that one time on his birthday. He tried to replicate it but couldn't do it

Gael/Gwendolyn - living in poverty and under constant surveillance doesn't give one much choice. They'll eat anything they get, but a nice juicy hamburger will do

In regards to G's kinks, are we giving or receiving? 😳

More probably recieving 🥵

Omg please please please tell me you took inspiration from Path To Nowhere, the signs are all there. Anyways, this is so cool already!

YES INDEED! another fellow PTN lover I see 🙈

whens the demo out??

oh it'll take a while for that :) mainly because of external factors like my college, exams and etc

When the MC gains better mastery of their power could we make every inmate forget that they hated the MC

Hmmm 🤔 possibly not. Otherwise they'd be too much OP 😞

What are the things the MC can do with their Conscious Manipulation?

Mhm other than altering and erasing other memories, nothing much. But there's no limit to what they can erase so it is possible for MC to make you forget how to walk, talk, eat and even breathe. Depending on one's experience and knowledge of the skill the effects can be either temporary or permanent.

You had me at slight yandere.. 😍

heh heh heh looks like I caught one more fish 🤭

What kind of Yandere is V btw? Or is it too spoilery then in that case, feel free to ignore^^

V is a mix of the love trope and shock trope, meaning that they are relatively harmless when compared to other yanderes. although not manipulative they can try to control their love interests (in this case MC) actions a little and also act (plus look) more threatning to those around MC, often loosing their cool during certain situations which can surprise anyone.

Hi! Is your IF perhaps inspired by Path to Nowhere? Cause I'm getting Nightingale, Cinnabar, Eirene, Shalom and Daemon vibes😂😂

Oop- looks like I got caught hehe 😁 and yes, kinda. You can say I was kinda inspired by Eirene and Demon for the Count/Countess and the Protector, mainly cause they carried me throughout the main story so I got attached to them XD dunno about Nightingale, Cinnabar and Shalom tho 🫠

Eve, you can have my heart, all the ro's are 🥵 may I please asks their kinks? we got a glimpse in the info but I need more.

Sure! The answers under the cut so it's NSFW ehehe- 🥵

1. Twenty - they're not really that kinky, mainly because they've repressed themselves their whole life, but have a slight tilt towards Praise Kink. They love being praised and complimented even if they don't want to admit it hehehe

2. Nikita - mf is a goddamn sadist, he loves Blood Play a LOT, and if the MC consents to it he might even try to drink their blood like some vampire (then kiss you with the same lips, ew)

3. Victor/Vanessa - They too have a Praise Kink, they love being complimented (especially by the MC) and will be get aroused quickly if the MC does many times

4. Emir/Evara - Blindfold play. They would love to see the MC absolutely begging for them on the bed while they tease them relentlessly the MC is close to tears

5. Leo - She's VERY kinky and has a thing for BDSM, especially sadism. As long as MC does not mind (even if they do, whose gonna stop her) that is, along with Bondage

6. Caesar - Among all the RO's, he's the least kinkiest of them all. I would say he doesn't have one in the first place, but under the MC's insistence he'd probably agree to Roleplay

7. Gael/Gwendolyn - Degradation and Breathe Play. That's all I can say, you can imagine the rest ;D

Hello! Are you going to do future posts about the ros, what they look like, race/ethnicity, their interests, brief background or can we ask for tht here?

Ofcourse! That's still under work so it may take a while (especially with their appearances) but yes it will be out after some time 😊

so.......mc can alter their own memories............either they did something that they themselves couldnt bare living with or they knew something that could get them fucking killed, so they got rid of it and tossed themselves into prison as a last ditch survival effort.....or im completely wrong and its a secret third or fourth thing! either way? i NEED to play this omg, i look forward 2 what u write!

OMG 😳 that's very close to what I've planned for them, p.s. saying anything further will put me on spoilers territory but I'll let you kno that it is indeed a very interesting theory 😝

You can continue to send theories my way I love reading them! 🤗

The Master and the Count/Countess ('Countless' in the intro btw) got me like: GRRRRR BARK WOOF BARK BARK WOOF BARK??

Ahaha I'm glad that you like them so much! 😳🥰 Please continue to shower them your love 😘 and who knows they might appreciate it some day 😉

Hi! How're ya doin? Would you be ok with RO ask? Scenario and NSFW asks too? Just wanted to know the boundaries and what you're comfortable with!^^

Have a good day/night!

Ofcourse! <3 feel free to ask me any kind of asks regarding the RO's! As long as the NSFW aren't too explicit I don't mind them :)

👀 I don't see anything wrong here... yup yet another amazing concept I'm probably gonna obsess over!

huhuhu just according to my plans! 🙂

Is everyone aware that the MC's memories are gone?

If by everyone you mean the inmates, then yes they do, but they don't care anyways :)

..ideas...are forming...

let...them.....outttt.... XD

OMG I CAN'T WAIT

This looks amazing!! I cannot wait to see what you have planned!!!!

OMG thank you so much!!! I will try my best to love up to your expectations 😍 (hopefully ehhehe)

Can the mc...alter their own memories???

yes!

Exciting! Where can I read? Or is this not out yet?

oh it's not out yet! i just started writing so it's gonna take a while 😳

Probably self explanatory, but what is considered Conscious Manipulation???

it's the ability to manipulate someone's conscious mind! aka meaning the MC can manipulate and even erase anyone's memories. there's no limit to what they can erase or who they can effect so watch out for that in the future 😉

Ooh ho hoo ~ This sounds amazing :D I love it <3

thank you so much 😊🙏! I hope you enjoy this IF <3

Oh come one, another IF where MC is hated outcast..

This is getting old

haha it's fine if it's not your cup of tea, feel free to ignore this if :)

besides I can assure you that MC has done a lot of screwed up stuff and made plenty of questionable decisions to deserve this (even though they don't remember anything for now) so consider it their karma

Road to Heaven is an 18+ Dystopian fic which takes inspiration from popular media like the “Shatter Me” series and “Hunger Games”. It may contain distressing content like major injury to the characters, character deaths, blood, gore, body horror, amnesia and optional sexual content. More specific warnings will be given at the beginning of each chapter.

You are inmate No. 1441, incarcerated in Tartarus, the most notorious prison on the continent. You find yourself imprisoned for a crime that you do not remember committing, leaving you in a state of uncertainty about your own identity and purpose. The first memory you have is awakening to the sensation of a gun being shoved into your mouth.

Within the grim confines of Tartarus, you have been branded as the most dangerous criminal, feared yet hated by both fellow inmates and prison authorities alike. It becomes clear to you that in order to survive and unravel the enigma of your past, escape from this formidable penitentiary is imperative. However, achieving freedom will not be an easy feat, as you must navigate treacherous encounters with some of the most malevolent criminals known to humanity. In your quest for freedom, you find yourself entangled in complex relationships with three significant individuals. Firstly, your cellmate, whose icy demeanor suggests a deep-seated disdain for your very existence. Secondly, your best friend within the prison walls, whose seemingly excessive friendliness may harbor ulterior motives. Lastly, there is the warden, whose overtly amicable nature masks a peculiar familiarity with your past. As you navigate the perilous labyrinth of Tartarus, your ultimate objective is twofold: to survive amidst the most notorious criminals and uncover the truth about your forgotten past. In a world where danger lurks at every corner, you must tread carefully, for the path to redemption and self-discovery is riddled with uncertainty and perilous choices.

1. The Cellmate [f/m] | Enemies to Lovers

Subject Name : Twenty

A palpable enigma surrounds the inexplicable disdain they harbor towards you, leaving you to ponder if your past misdeeds have sowed the seeds of their ire. Your questions remain unanswered, rarely do they grace you with a response, and when they do, it arrives veiled in hateful glares and a tapestry of venomous words. The origins of their animosity remain shrouded in silence, with fellow inmates mirroring their reticence. Only when they are complaining about the prison's wretched conditions and the Warden's despotic rule do they momentarily shed their icy facade, revealing hints of vulnerability and human emotion. When they do smile, albeit rarely, it is a fleeting moment of breathtaking beauty. If only you could find the courage to tell them that.

2. The Warden? [m] | ???

Subject Name : Nikita

There is an uncanny familiarity surrounding him, leaving you torn between the unsettling grip of dread and the elusive allure of desire. He claims to know you personally. Apparently the two of you were close friends before The Incident. Yet, when you press for details, he skillfully redirects the conversation before your emotions can catch up. "The past is but a fleeting shadow," he says, "no need to talk about something that can't be changed. Besides, you wouldn't remember anything." Evidently your memories had been erased. The question of who hangs heavy in the air, but his response remains enigmatic, offering only a mirthless smile.

Unfazed by the venomous whispers that tarnish your reputation, they remain steadfastly by your side, unwavering in their loyalty. Their warm smiles and whimsical wordplay serve as a balm, mending your wounded spirit after every bitter clash with Twenty.

Holding the distinction of being the youngest Grandmaster in history and amassing unparalleled wealth, they reign as the CEO of the renowned Quinn Industries.

5. The Master [f] | Forbidden Romance

Subject Name : Leo

In her calculated pursuit, you find yourself ensnared. Your allure captivates her discerning gaze, for you possess what she desires most. You are the coveted object of her desires. In this strategic game, you are but a pawn, a possession within her calculated grasp. Yet, curiously she maintains a measured distance. Her reason? She eloquently articulates, “Witnessing the growth of one's possession is a fascinating phenomenon.”

[ Leo is the Master of {DATA REDACTED}. They are the Ruler of the 5th District. ]

6. The Protector [m] | Bodyguard Romance

Subject Name : Caesar

A battle-hardened soldier, Caesar bears the scars of a lifetime spent serving the FAE and the city. With an intimacy unparalleled, he has danced with mortality on numerous occasions, making death a companion rather than an adversary. Yet, behind that facade of strength, Caesar is a fractured soul, haunted by insecurities and a self-destructive nature. His journey, filled with shattered dreams and the weight of his daughter's aspirations, has brought him to the edge of despair. The immortality he once embraced now feels like a curse, a harbinger of misfortune that has become synonymous with his presence. In his eyes, he sees himself as not a protector but a bearer of ill fate. However, the stars, in an unexpected alignment, have granted him a final purpose: to protect you. Beneath the intimidating exterior lies a gentle giant, yet one plagued by a profound sense of self-loathing. He grapples with the belief that his very existence is a catalyst for tragedy, a vortex that draws calamity toward him and those he holds dear. Intrigued by this complex guardian, you see the duality within Caesar — an attentive and understanding individual burdened by the weight of his own perceived malevolence. As you navigate through the intricate layers of his psyche, perhaps you could help him ease his suffering, even by a little.

[ Caesar is a registered S rank Endura Tendency Esper with the Regeneration ability. He comes under Leo’s jurisdiction. ]

Other Tropes : Beauty and the Beast, Single parent, Stop calling me daddy

7. The Rebel [f/m] | Enemies to Lovers

Subject Name : Gael (m.) | Gwendolyn (f.)

You betrayed them. Or perhaps it's the other way around? You do not remember. The trust you once held dear has been shattered, and now you must face the price for your misguided beliefs. Like a fool enchanted by deceit, you must bear the weight of your choices. Remember this lesson, for betrayal's toll is a heavy one to pay. Proceed with caution, lest you become ensnared in the web of your own treachery.

[ There is no known information on this individual. Extreme caution is recommended. ]

Other Tropes : Amnesia, Revenge, Redemption, Breathe play

“I will deny you death until you beg for it”

Here's my MC with his pet cat, Pixie! His name is Zhenya 'Zhen' Bogdanov. Though his enemies rather know him as 'Psikh Bogdanov'.

Because of his soft looks and polite demeanour Zhenya is often misunderstood to be a pushover by people who aren't very familiar with him. However for those who do, they know that he is anything but one. He's a softie around his family members and friends, but Zhenya's reputation as a ruthless individual sometimes far precedes his own family's. The people in the underworld often refer to him as a 'Psikh' (which basically means a madman or asshole in Russian) all because of his utter callousness when dealing with people and the extent of his ruthlessness. It is an unspoken rule in the underworld not to provoke him in case the 'nuclear bomb' goes off again. He looks up to his Grandfather and Uncle a lot (they're practically his role models) and he hopes to become the head of the Morozov family and bring it to new heights, although that might take a while considering he's busy with a rat (cough the killer cough) on the run. Plus despite his high ambitions Zhenya has a very bad habit of procrastinating things all the time if he doesn't find them interesting and running away frequently to hide in a cat cafe (psh the benefits of being a pampered kid i tell ya). Because of his strange obsession with cats and just felines in general, one can often see him cuddling on the couch with a shadow tiger (imagine instead of shadow hellhounds we have shadow tigers :D). Also he loves his pet ragdoll, Pixie with his whole being so to be given the chance to hold her should be considered an honour. The only ones who have been given this honour are Ash, Luka, and Rin.

Zhenya also likes reading books (though most of them are either horrifying fairy tales from the grimm brothers and the likes or manuals related to medieval torture methods, don't question him about it he'll simply call them necessary for scientific reasons, whatever they mean), trying out new kinda of foods (his favourites are the spicy and sour kind) and gatdening to a certain extent. Looking at his hobbies no one would believe that he is the heir of one of the biggest families in Elysium City (and that's exactly what he wants you to think). He's the living embodiment of 'looks like a cinnamon roll but could kill you'.

(psshhhhh sorry for the bad lighting tho! I hope you like him ^^ @vendetta-if )
