--1984 MEETS STARTERS MEETS THE MATRIX- In a world where one company rules all- World Enterprises- the entire population is made of Virtual Reality addicted people. The only way to get to the only source of legal Nuero-Facing VR is in Enterprise Online, which, surprise surprise, is owned and operated by World Enterprises. "Trust in WE," their propaganda reads. "Log In to live!" Enterprise online is accessed by using the Black Lense. The Black Lense brightens and enchants everything your mind can make up- But there's a catch. When you finally leave Enterprise Online, everything is colorless. The Black Lense doesn't just manipulate the brain- It damages it. It makes it so most of its consumers feel as if they cannot live without it. They take away your free will. People have died because of staying online for too long. A few hours here? An entire year in the game. A Dark Narnia, some call it. It seems there's no hope for the enslaved human race... That is until lab-experiment Katerine escapes her jailers... And she plans to put an end to all of it. Highest Ranks: •#6 "third eye" Started March 2019.

Shah Jamshid al-Hassan, king of the Sazian Empire, is dead. He is succeeded by three heirs: Esfandar, the crown prince; Soraya, the forgotten daughter; and Roshani- the one who killed him. Roshani felt no remorse shoving her sword through her father's heart. Nor does she have any doubts about imprisoning her cunning grandmother in the depths of the royal prison, where she can't cause any more trouble. The tyrannical tendencies in the young empress only seem to be tempered by Kasra, her infant half-brother born shortly before the coup. To protect Kasra, Roshani is determined to kill her other siblings and end this conflict once and for all. But spies and betrayers abound in the palace, and Roshani may have more enemies within than without. Esfandar's mind has always been more attuned to war than to the politics behind it. Shocked and outraged by his sisters' betrayals, he seeks to reclaim the throne that is rightfully his. His troops rally in support of their emperor, retaking the north from Roshani's forces. Yet doubt soon creeps into the young prince's mind. As his armies forge ahead, Esfandar will discover that governing and conquering are not one and the same. The large personalities of Esfandar and Roshani have always outshone Soraya in the palace. Neither the shah nor the other palace lords ever concerned themselves with the quiet girl hiding behind her mother's skirts. But now, having escaped Roshani's coup, the empire has been forced to consider Soraya a threat. Protected by the priests and magis of the fire temple, Soraya's claim to the throne is the weakest. Her only hope is a strange power from the gods, one she's not even sure she can control. Three siblings. Three armies. One crown.

{based on a video game} In 2077, a nuclear holocaust wiped out most of humanity. In the fallout of the war, one survivor sets out on a quest to avenge her family. Unprepared for what she'll have to face, she is thrown into a cruel post-apocalyptic world, where every second is a fight for survival. With time, each choice becomes harder... And even though she may not want it, her actions will decide about the future of this wasteland. ━★━ "Spiritually, Revival could be a yardstick for all Wattpad stories: it's sad when sadness is needed, funny when humor is needed, and completely gut-wrenching with its realism. But most importantly, disguised as this dystopian drama is one of the most touching love stories I've ever read." ForMrKite ━★━ "A great story that really captures the personality of the characters and the Fallout universe itself. It brings a lot of elements that you can't really get by just playing a game. It isn't a repeat of the same story, it's really a retelling of the idea, but it isn't the exact same thing, and that's what I love so much about it." GenerikShadow ━★━ Highest ranking: #15 in Strong Female Character (30.06.18) #25 in Post-Apocalyptic (05.08.18) #34 in Military (30.06.18) #134 in Science Fiction (02.02.19) This book is rated T for violence, coarse language, and referenced drug use.

( The Tale Of a Werefox ) He looked surprised and confused. "Wh-Who are you?" He stuttered, back in normal animal language that the wolves could understand. He seemed to only have just reacted to how close he had just been to death. I could have finished him off right then. But he is my brother and killing him wasn't the right thing to do. Although I hate him for leaving our mother, Zeal and I, and most of all, ignoring me when I needed him the most. But I just couldn't do it. He slowly raised himself from the ground and looked at me. His face showed an emotion that I can barely make out. His face seemed to be showing sympathy, understanding and wrath at the same time. And yet he couldn't figure out who I was. -~- After a war began between werewolves and werefoxes. The werefox, in the werewolves eyes became extinct. At least, that's what they believed.

What will happen when she saves the daughter of an alpha from rogues and is about to meet her fate? Or will she? *COMPLETED*

Trapped in a box with no way out, Jag doesn't remember how he got there, or why. But with time, as he slowly remembers snippets of who he is, he tries to piece together why he is there. But what is fact, and what is fiction? Is he dreaming, or is he remembering? There was a man, and a woman, and a mission. Wasn't there? There is no way of telling whether he is delving deeper into the different layers of truth, or into the distorted pit of insanity. And there is no way out of the box. There is a much bigger picture here; a lot of people to be killed, and a lot of information to be stolen.

She is a teenage vampire who has been berated by others in both the supernatural and non-supernatural world. She skulks from home to combat in an unending battle. She encounters Jason DeVries, a teenage werewolf now in his 'Jerk' stage, and things take a bad turn, but of course, nothing good ever lasts.
