The Earth is nothing but a poisonous shadow of its former self. From its war-beaten ashes, new societies and empires are reborn. Far removed from the gleaming skylines of Levem Teraam, the wanderers and religious tribes of Malkuth occupy the harsh deserts, foraging for whatever scraps of technology they can find to survive. Death comes to them from all sides-yet something darker and much more sinister seems to be lurking beneath the sands, shrouded behind centuries of mystery: the being they call the Shadow Man.

The Greylands: Modern Edition by SusanSkylark

A land of shadows, of mystery, of obfuscated Truth. Welcome to the Greylands, that strange world, within the bounds of Time, peopled by mortal men. We cannot see truly, only as through a glass, darkly. There are things that move and have their being completely beyond our ability to perceive them. There are things beyond our mortal ability to comprehend. There are hints and glimmers hidden within the body of revealed Truth, but there is much we do not know, cannot yet understand, and could never dare dream. These stories are mere fancy, with a seed of Truth at their core. They play with the ideas of mortality and Eternity, Time and things beyond it, and of course the epic battle of Good against Evil. Each stands alone, and though there are common themes, threads, names, and concepts, each story is an entity unto itself and should not be seen as occurring in the same world or mistaken for installments of a series. These are random musings, not Gospel Truth, and should not be taken as such. Joy, hope, and encouragement are hopefully a byproduct, but certainly not sound Theology. If you would know more of the true world beyond these Greylands, one must be a careful student of the Scriptures, not of silly stories such as these. While still fairytales, these stories are set in modern surroundings rather than the land of Faerie! Each story is unique unto itself, and doesn't reference any other story, world or character elsewhere.

Elyra: Legend Reborn by AoNoNgao

There is a force older than time itself, flowing unseen through the land, the skies, and the souls of those who walk this world. Some call it magic. Others, destiny. But in Elyra, power is not merely taken-it is earned, stolen, fought for, and sometimes... cursed upon the unworthy. The continent stretches endlessly, its lands carved by ancient wars and civilizations lost to history. Ruined cities stand as silent witnesses to battles long forgotten, their stone walls whispering secrets only the daring seek to uncover. Deep within the mountains, martial artists forge their bodies into weapons beyond human comprehension, their strikes capable of shattering steel. In the grand halls of scholars, mages bend the laws of reality, weaving spells that twist the very fabric of existence. Some claim magic is boundless, limitless in potential... but those who reach too far often find themselves consumed by forces they cannot control. But for every force that builds, another seeks to destroy. Beneath the surface, fire rages in an endless inferno, a realm where even the bravest fear to tread. High above, unseen hands pull at the strings of fate, shifting the balance of the world with every whisper. And hidden within sealed chambers, beings older than the stars slumber, their names long erased from mortal tongues. Legends speak of a kingdom that once ruled everything, a kingdom that no longer exists. Some say it was consumed by its own greed, others whisper of a power too great for the world to bear. Yet remnants remain-artifacts, symbols, fractured pieces of a puzzle scattered across the land, waiting for those foolish or ambitious enough to seek them. The air is shifting. The world stirs. Something is waking up. And when it does, Elyra will never be the same.

AWAKNADION by BEYpenciy

Title: Awaknadion Synopsis: A deadly virus spread from the Eastern regions, altering the very fabric of humanity. Every person on Earth awakened to extraordinary superpowers-except for one. Askander, an outcast from Tunisia, remained powerless, enduring a life of torment and betrayal-even from his own family. But hidden deep within him, an unfathomable power had already begun to stir, a power beyond human comprehension. When the organization that controls the world murders the only person he ever loved, Askander's mind shatters. Rage consumes him. Sanity is no longer a luxury. He will tear this world apart. The U.S. trembles, the superhumans fall, and even alien forces fear his existence. As nations unite to stop him, their only hope is to banish him to another dimension-a world of ancient martial sects, ruthless cultivators, and unimaginable horrors. But they have made a grave mistake. Askander isn't trapped with them-they are trapped with him. The Symphony of Chaos has begun. 🔥 Action | Dark Fantasy | Superpowers | Sci-Fi | Revenge | Antihero 🔥 By: BEYpenciy © 2025 Wattpad #All rights reserved#

Legacy by KevinDDodge

If you could live forever, would you want to? For some that is not a question, but an invitation to a land of dreams - a place where the power of one's own Will is manifested to be as real and as magical as the touch of rainfall or as destructive as a wildfire. As with all wondrous gifts, there is always a price to pay... Upon the turn of a century, initiates are called to serve "The Cycle" and rise to immortality. Now on the path to ascension himself, though he struggles to remember why, Derek Harkson journeys through the trials of the immortals where failure could mean death or far worse. When conspired against by timeless beings of an ancient order, gods, devils, and a monster that makes all others tremble at the mere mention of its name... Derek wonders if he and the other initiates even stand a chance of surviving. All seek the power of The Cycle. All fear the hidden order who champions its will. But a path once chosen cannot be abandoned. Even as Death itself stands in front of all who would divine the mysteries of immortality, the most chilling and gravest of perils shall always loom behind...

Immortal Presage: Dark Prophecy by Angelvahn

Note: This is a small preview of the final book. Click here to purchase a copy of the book: http://a.co/gOUs3Sz ____________________________________________________ What are memories to us that live and die; Is it joy, pain, regret, hope, pride, hatred. Do those memories become the things we cherish for a lifetime? If the mind forgets does our heart remember? All these things wrapped in emotions and feelings; do these memories make us mortal, do they make us human? In a world of legends, where religion, science, and magic meld together, there are those who live their lives as well as they can, holding on to their memories and allowing their feelings to guide and move them toward a better future through life and into death. And then there are those whose lives are unending, everlasting, and unchanging-the Amara- the Immortals. Four lives have begun to move along a path bound to the fate of every immortal. Although their lives cannot be given up or taken, they move according to a destiny-a curse-that was left behind by those of the past many centuries ago. A prophecy has foretold the deaths of the deathless, but who or what could bring an end to the Immortals? In this novel, the immortals must face the possibility of extinction as the events of an ancient prophesy begin to unfold.

Damned bastard (English version) by KevinBerlanger

Dear readers, Allow me to invite you on an introspective journey, an exploration of the intricacies of destiny as I perceive it, not only in my own existence but also through the prism of the characters that populate my creative universe. Destiny, this mysterious force that sometimes seems to guide our steps, takes multiple and changing forms in my mind. It is not a single, predetermined path, but rather a complex interweaving of choices, chances, and necessities. For me, the destiny of each person, whether real or fictional, is like a perpetually evolving tapestry. Each thread represents a decision, an encounter, an unforeseen event. Some threads are thick and solid, forged by our will and deliberate actions. Others are thin, almost invisible, woven by circumstances beyond our control. In the following lines, I invite you to discover how this vision of destiny manifests in my life and in that of my characters. You will see how each decision, each trial, each triumph contributes to weaving a unique and unpredictable story. Prepare to dive into a narrative where reality and fiction intertwine, where destiny is not an end in itself, but a constantly evolving path. Let me tell you how I perceive my own destiny, as well as that of the beings born from my imagination... In a world where supernatural powers shape society, destiny brings together an unlikely group of individuals on a history-laden bridge. Slenth, a young man tormented by his past, crosses paths with Jokash, a powerless colossus, Shalan, a healer whose gifts consume her, Léonen, a man on the brink of suicide, and Ritchard, an object manipulator with mysterious intentions. Their encounter, orchestrated by the invisible threads of destiny, will lead them towards extremely dangerous adventures.
