(Eeek! I'm pausing on writing this fanfic because I'm focusing on the other one rn! Once I come back to this I will rewrite the first few chapters! THANK YOUUU!) In the future, speaking aloud is illegal because 'The Mother Council', claims that object voices spread a deadly airborne disease called 'The Quieting'. Of course... Mother's voice is the only voice that won't spread this 'disease' because she's immune and her voice is the ONLY voice that won't affect others. As Mother always says to us citizens... "The Quieting begins with one voice. It ends with millions of lives. Remember that, my children." Three sentences, which will petrify an object to their core when they hear it tumultuously playing non-stop on the radio. ꧁❤︎︎꧂ With speech outlawed, citizens communicate through government-monitored devices. 'The Listening Service' scans every message for signs of dissent, flagging anyone who questions The Mother Council or speaks of life before the law. The Listening Service doesn't monitor online, it monitors in the real world as well. They are responsible for making sure that no one makes a sound. Not even a peep! No conversation is private-and one wrong word can place a citizen on Mother's watchlist. That is, of course, you find a way to bypass their system... ꧁❤︎︎꧂ A normal object, Fanny Wind, mistakenly discovers the disease doesn't exist. But after years without hearing real voices, objects of Yoyle City have become terrified of sound itself. When Fanny accidentally speaks to herself in her apartment one day, The Listening Service detect it. This incident changes Fanny's life and puts her on The Mother Council's watchlist. Will Fanny find a way to end Mother's rule...? (If your looking for a fanfic with BFDI, dystopia and long chapters, this is for you) (There is no AI that will be used in any way shape or form

In the town of Comfort, a woman's face is an obscenity. On the day the town counts you a woman, you are given your cover - a plain paper bag, two holes cut for the eyes - and you wear it every time you are seen. The paper thins the air. To be a woman in Comfort is to breathe less, and to thank them for it. The men wear nothing. The men have faces. Wren has worn her cover well for seventeen years. Then it tears - and for one impossible breath, she tastes clean air. Now she wants more. But in Comfort, one woman's freedom is paid for by all the others. The Registrar is already hunting the girl who breathes too easily. And the only way to end it is to send the shame back to the men who invented it - before the trail leads home, before her little sister is counted, before the town takes her face for good. The truth about Comfort was never that women are shameful. The truth is that someone decided it - and wrote it down. New Chapers every Wednesday and Sunday

The World is not as natural as we would like to believe. All over the world impossible creatures have started to appear, creatures that should not exist, that can not exist, but yet here they are. Some of these creatures are barely understood, some are intelligent, some are even aware of our existence, and some understand ourselves better than we understand them. Governments label them biological threats, scientists label them anomalies, and the common people label them monsters. But they are wrong, these creatures have no place being on Earth. They don't belong to our ecosystem, to our biology, to our world, to our dimension. Some warp matter, some warp space, some are imitations of life, and some defy all logic, science, and reason. With the growing number of sightings and encounters humanity creates an international intelligence agency known as ANTI ANOMALY to research, locate, capture or kill these creatures. This agency is more than just soldiers, scientists and researchers, they are investigators of the impossible, they are explorers of the unreachable, they are interrogators of the uncontrollable, and hunters of the unkillable. They search through military bases and abandoned hospitals, through haunted ruins and sealed facilities, whatever the government thinks people should not know about. But the more they find out the more these creatures are connected to something greater than themselves, something that would not be able to appear on Earth on their own accord, something is bringing them here. And that question is much more terrifying than "how are they getting here", because it is not asking where are these things coming from, it is asking why is something from another world trying to come here, and if these creatures truly don't have a place on Earth, we have to figure out who is placing them here before it's too late.

In the utopian digital paradise of Elysia, Sabrina Glamorgan enjoys a flawless life-clean energy, zero crime, and perfect health. But a haunting obsession draws her to a locked attic, where a velvet-covered mirror whispers secrets from the dark. Driven by an irresistible urge, Sabrina shatters the glass, breaking the boundary between realities-and unleashing Renan Menzies, a rugged, scarred assassin under strict orders to execute her on sight. Instead of a target, Renan finds an innocent woman completely unaware of the horrifying truth: Elysia is merely a digital sandbox designed to keep wealthy minds happy while Earth decays. Sabrina isn't human; she is a high-grade bio-clone built as an empty vessel awaiting an elite soul transfer. Forced into an uneasy alliance, Sabrina and Renan escape into the frozen, ash-choked ruins of 2088 London. Hunted by relentless Enforcers and distrusted by human Resistance fighters, they uncover a desperate race against time: Paradise is expanding, siphoning Earth's last geothermal reserves and threatening to freeze all remaining human survivors to death. To save a dying world, Sabrina must play the ultimate game of deception-returning to the gilded cage as a Trojan horse to bring down the simulation from within. In a world built on stolen lives and manufactured dreams, two outcasts must fight through glass and steel to break the illusion and reclaim their freedom.

FIRST CAME THE DRAGONS When scientists brought everyone's favorite fairytale creature to life, people flocked to see them, including 17-year-old Zelda Rissland. THEN CAME THE PARASITE But scientists created more than just dragons-they created a deadly parasite. Wyrmrot, they later called it. First, it ate your brain, and then it made you eat other people's brains. NOW ZELDA MUST SURVIVE THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE Separated from her family, the only person Zelda has left from her former life is her childhood friend turned boyfriend, Cooper Marotta. Together they've carved out a safe place for themselves in a world turned upside down, but when a zombie horde decimates their survivor group, they face a choice: attempt to rebuild or follow the mysterious coordinates that appeared on a construction sign. Zelda still hopes her family is out there somewhere and believes the coordinates might lead her to them. Cooper, however, thinks the coordinates will only bring trouble. When the remaining survivors vote to undertake the perilous cross-country journey, he attempts to deter them every step of the way. What Zelda discovers at their destination will test her loyalties and change everything she thought she knew about the apocalypse. Wyrmrot is a heart-stopping Young Adult Apocalyptic novel told in dual timelines. "Jurassic Park meets Resident Evil." This fast-paced tale of survival, secrets, and betrayal features dragons, zombies, and a touch of romance. Perfect for fans of Erin Bowman's Contagion or Emily Suvada's This Mortal Coil.

CORRECTION: The Naked Sword Book One Kairo Shen dies on a bathroom floor in Osaka at twenty-six. No light, no warning. He wakes up naked in a forest that has no name for him, in a world that has never heard of him, with nothing but the clothes a stranger lends him and a mind that cannot stop mapping what it sees. What he sees is a system. A levy that bleeds villages dry by design. Stewards who walk through doors like they own them. A lord who eats well while old men stop tending their gardens. He has no magic. No sword. No destiny handed to him by anyone. What he has is the ability to read a broken thing and understand exactly where the rot started. And the patience to build, from nothing, the tools to correct it. Book One follows Kairo's first year. From a forest floor to a village to a garrison to a battlefield. From nobody to Shield Warden. From a man who woke up with nothing to a man who knows what he is building and why it is going to take much longer than he wants it to.
