➤ 𝐍𝐄𝐎𝐍 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 ⛓️ VegasPete by CHOFFIELESOULVES

In a city where the sky is permanently choked by neon and smog, survival isn't a right-it's a privilege bought with blood. Vegas Theerapanyakul runs the underworld's most feared black-market syndicate, dealing in illegal cybernetics, underground assassinations, and data theft. A ghost in the system, untouchable. Until Pete Saengtham, a rogue enforcer with nothing to lose, rips his way through the underworld in pursuit of a bounty that leads straight to Vegas's doorstep. But this is not a world where justice prevails. It's a game of control, power, and who holds the deadliest secrets. Pete is no hero, and Vegas is no villain-they are both hunting each other, clawing for dominance in a city that eats the weak alive. And in this war of survival, the line between predator and prey is written in neon and blood.

Gamleon's Tail ~ Welcome to the worlds of : Within ~ by Cicada3300

I wrote this for EVERYONE. To appeal to anyone that reads ANY genre. It combines almost all of them. It's an introduction to the Worlds of Within universe. When you get to the action parts (which doesn't take long) you should be invested enough to want to unravel the mysteries and enjoy its intrigue... The flood is raging. A terrifying, heartless mountain of water, swallowing the world . The tunnel networks? Of course, that won't save them. The forests? Like leaves in a breeze. The lookout towers and trade hubs? Gone. Washed clean. Every home, every last trace of what once was. Gamleon is the first to see it ... and survive. His mind is near collapse, his heart broken. He runs. What would YOU do? What could anyone do? Some scrape by in a mythological setting of beasts and medieval men. Cruel, literally cold-blooded Gorgon hordes enforce an absolute rule slithering in the tunnels beneath the feet of every kingdom. There is an isolated, forgotten place. A cavern, magnificent and vast, older than civilization. A place where the weird and the unwanted might ride out this cataclysm if Gamleon can stay alive long enough to get them there.. In this special place, something incredible, cut off from the outside, lurks. Something... you won't be ready for or ever expect. Gamleon, our weary adventurer, is a paradox: terrifying to some perhaps, yet his heart and intent is helpful, with a quiet dignity bordering on noble, intimidating and innately intelligent. The only way back out is to navigate the Gorgon tunnels. Join him, won't you ? Share his inner thoughts . See and feel how they help us all learn how to persist and triumph in spite of a world where everything is stacked against us. ( sound familiar, it should.) Join him and be swept away as he encounters or invents never-before-seen innovations and outrageous challenges. Dignity meets hope. Self-respect shines beyond courage. Welcome my friend to the Worlds of Within.

The Chronicles of Elysium: The Shadow's Embrace by Tyler6318

In the mystical land of Elysium, where magic weaves through every leaf and whispers secrets to the wind, a darkness begins to stir. For centuries, the balance between light and shadow has been maintained by the guardians of Elysium, a group of powerful sorcerers sworn to protect the realm from evil. But when a long-forgotten prophecy resurfaces, foretelling the rise of a malevolent force known only as the shadow, the fate of Elysium hangs in the balance. As whispers of dark omens spread like wildfire, a young orphan named Lyra finds herself thrust into a world of magic and danger. With nothing but a mysterious amulet and her wits to guide her, Lyra embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth behind the prophecy and stop the shadow from consuming the realm. Along the way, she allies herself with a ragtag group of misfits: a brooding warrior with a haunted past, a cunning thief with a heart of gold, and a wise old sage with secrets of his own. Together, they must navigate treacherous forests, ancient ruins, and deadly creatures as they race against time to thwart the shadow's sinister plans. But as the darkness closes in around them, Lyra discovers that the true power to save Elysium lies within herself - if only she can unlock it in time. Filled with breathtaking magic, epic battles, and unforgettable characters, "The Chronicles of Elysium: The Shadow's Embrace" is a spellbinding tale of courage, friendship, and the enduring strength of the human spirit in the face of darkness.

Becoming Defiant •• OneRepublic {3} by fleurs-

Book Three: Ryan Tedder is the face of the newly-formed rebellion, but he thinks he's only half the man for the job. Although he holds a deep rage for President Carter, he doesn't think he's fit to lead the one rebellion that will last. Yet his anger is justified - not only does this dictatorship hold a terrifying reign over the nation, but it's filled to the brim with lies. For instance, there is no war between the United Kingdom and the United States. All the horrors the U.S. had unleashed were not because of a war, but merely gain for a power-hungry tyrant. Yet with the help of a group of trained and combat-ready rebels called "The Green," led by tough and tactical genius Daryl Conley, Ryan holds hope that he will, at last, be able to live his life free again. With Daryl and his group's help, Ryan, his bandmates, and others close to him must find ways to bring the government down, all while they're labeled public enemies and fugitives. On top of being committed for treason, Ryan must continue to find a way to save Ramona from the waves of her returned depression before they finally drown her. There's no doubt he's got a lot on his plate, but he may be the only one who can lead the nation back to independence - and being only half a man isn't going to cut it. © 2017 by Verona Rohellec.

Paths Beyond (Under Rewrite) by DeoxyNAcid

In the frozen wilderness beyond the village walls, survival isn't guaranteed-it's earned. Grey, a sharp-eyed young hunter gifted with the ability to see ethereal threads of light connecting all living things, walks a thin line between life and death with every step into the snowbound forests. His gift is his greatest tool-and his deepest secret. When the Grand Hunt leads Grey and his squad to a chilling encounter with a monstrous creature and a group of robed strangers led by a sinister old man, the world he thought he knew begins to crack. Ancient powers stir beneath the frost, and the old man's magic reveals a truth far more terrifying than the dangers of the frozen woods. As the village reels from loss, Grey finds himself facing impossible choices. His gift, once a quiet advantage, now feels like a curse drawing him deeper into a conflict he doesn't understand. Shadows whisper of forgotten paths-ancient roads walked by those who sought strength not just to survive, but to transcend. Paths where power can be cultivated, honed, and wielded by those willing to sacrifice everything. But power always comes at a cost. Blood stains the frost, alliances are tested, and every step deeper into the unknown pulls Grey closer to a path he may not be ready to tread-a path where strength isn't just survival, but transformation. And in the depths of the wilderness, where cold winds carry secrets and danger lurks with every shadow, Grey must decide if he's willing to pay the price for what lies beyond.
