Picture a giant city that could possible house 2 million living souls struggling to survive in a bleak environment, surrounded by stone walls. The outermost exterior of the city houses the steam and magical machinery that sustains the world you know, giant steam engines roar overhead the city streets flinging sparks below as they shake the hundred year old elevated rails above you. Imagine a world where 24 hours a day the muddy cobblestone streets are filled with the throngs of the living, the screams of the hungry or the laughter of the delusional. A world that has forgotten its noble history when magic ruled the day, now outlawed and strictly controlled by the controlling Church of the Illumination. A world where the underground trade of portal guns and slaves thrive in some sections of the city, where illegal hedge magic is performed for a few coins. A world where everything is recycled, repaired and remade including the dead. Where the Airships fly overhead from the 1st tier on their dangerous scavenging campaigns to the outside world...the world beyond the walls.

Shadows of Elysium: The Laughing King by DalisJamesBunch

Once upon a time there was a world, much like our own. This world is gone. The machinations and wars of man saw to every manner of apocalypse. What was left is a world as nightmarish as it is fantastical. Gunslingers and swordsmen ply the same trade. Science, chemistry and magic are indistinguishable from one another. The monsters prey on all, but the true villains will always be human. A handful of corrupted overlords run the walls before the wastelands. They promise power in the form of a potent and mysterious drug called Elysium. This is the way of the world and it has done nothing to diminish the number of mutants and parasites that crowd the wastelands. Until now. They are both overcome by a new threat from the walls that cage them. Only one wall was ever built to protect the non-cannibalistic mutants of the Grey Coast and the inhabitants of Valoria from the true Wastelands; it has fallen. The remaining warriors built a great defense to fill the gap in the frontline wall. This outpost was overrun and the warriors that defended it became too few. They did the best they could and many died in the battles to keep the True Wastelands at bay. Survivers became little more than wanderers, sell swords and try hard defenders of the inhabited wastes. This is the tale of one such wanderer and his mission to unite the Wastelands against the abominations created from Elysium. This is the tale of The Wandering King and his sadistic counterpart.

Almanzoz City by KaylaKyle8

Almanzoz City takes place in the world of Feleanor which is home to ten major regions excluding Almanzoz: Exalos, Caspian, Alvaro, Avaria, Glyswing, Easton, Navarre, Krumus, Arkolath and Rusvil. Apart from the ten regions, there was the region of Iyexsorth that lived independently away from other regions that has now became history. All regions come with different species, while some of them are granted Streaks, magical streaks of hair that grant bearers the ability to command elemental power, where different powers come from the different colours. It was a world full of numerous different species varied with both humans and hybrids. A vibrant world living in natural harmony. Teeming with magic and wonder; no matter what territory or city someone hails from. That happiness didn't last. Ever since the corruption came up from Almanzoz, all regions decided to take shelter and refuge from the curse. And the very person with the curse is spreading to each of that region and corrupting it. All fate lies on the heroes to take care of it while the residents stay behind. Or so they thought. When the curse corrupted Almanzoz, everyone thought all colour was lost. Many heroes perished and some went missing. A few citizens who didn't know if they could save the world tried to help. A singular action of desperation. Of fleeting hope. Little did they know... This will transform them to be heroes. The actual heroes of the city.

On the brink of humanity's extinction, Nikola Tesla and a mysterious order of scientists known as the Tellurians revealed a bold plan: the uninfected would abandon the Earth's surface by rising up in floating salvation cities, iron and steel metropolises that carried tens of thousands of refugees above the savage apocalypse. The remnants of mankind huddled fearfully in the clouds, waiting for the werewolves to devour each other. Twenty years later, only one salvation city remains aloft, while the beasts still rule the world below. Time has taken its toll on the miraculous machinery of the city, and soon the last of the survivors will plummet to their doom. But when Elijah Kelly, a brakeman aboard the largest of the city's Thunder Trains, is infected by the werewolf virus, he discovers a secret world of lies and horrific experiments that hide the disturbing truth about the Tellurians. When the beast in his blood surges forth, Elijah must choose between the lives of those he loves, and the city that is humanity's last hope of survival."

Earth or Fursona? by Nata_KARU

In the modern world, humans are the ones in control and live all over the planet. Living on all continents along with various animals ranging from various animals both on land air and water. With the planet consisting of humans, their imaginations range far and wide creating various things for them to enjoy. Of course, some of the imagination can lead to rather odd fantasies, which can gather a lot of folks. The technology has progressed rather far along with the lifestyle of humans.....until a disaster struck. A famous technology company had the intent of creating a teleportation device allowing them to travel to the other side of the plant in a matter of seconds. The initial test seemed to be going rather well with multiple people easily going through it but an unseen electric surge changed everything. The portal started to go out of control causing one of them to exploded while the other one started to suck in everything around it. As one of the individuals was sucked through the portal, his body was reverted to that of a newborn child with all of his memories intact. After exiting the portal and landing safely in a thick forest, he saw that he was in the dead of night. Scared and confusion filled him as he had no idea where he was but what came the next morning utterly shocked him. After falling asleep upon arriving, he woke up and found himself in an odd house that he didn't recognize. As he tried to figure out where he is, the door opened as who entered was a woman with long dark hair......and a set or rather long bunny ears. Not only this, there were two other small infants sleeping next to him with one of them clinging to him. What is this world? Who are these people and what are they? Are there any other humans out there besides him? The answer lies with the passage of time.

First Light of a New Age by TIMEMASTER101

In a distant realm where magic thrives, ferocious beasts shake mountains and rivers with their mighty roars, and individuals wield superhuman strength capable of reshaping their surroundings. It is a magical world where the strong rules. But rampant corruption and chaos exist, where slavery, rape, murder, and discrimination against the weak were all but common. The magically superior people trample over the lesser unfortunate folks, using them as stepping stones and disposable assets. All hope for these downtrodden souls seems lost, but the wheels of fate have other plans for them. In a faraway ocean, one that is filled with demons and sea monsters, a great technological civilization suddenly appeared, one that came from a world that is only filled with chaos and destruction. This civilization became the heaven for people seeking a stable and peaceful life. The Earth rose and seas parted ways, and the environment had totally changed for its adaptability. Unfortunately, the inhabitants of this great technological civilization are all but manaless, arriving in a world where they are seen as inferior and as slaves. How will they react of finding themselves in a world where people can split mountains or bend the fabric of space, and where beings exist that even conventional weapons cannot defeat? How will they survive against deadly monsters, magical beasts, and superhumans that could threaten entire nations? And how will the other powers that exist in this world react to a powerful, advanced nation filled with a race they deem inferior? This is the story of one of the most powerful empires on Earth, and how it broke the balance of power and rose to the top.

Brass Skies Vol. 1: The Battle of Chesapeake by JPKent80

"Declaring our Independence From the British One Airship at a Time." The colonies tried to protest once. They were brutally and ruthlessly crushed by the Red Coats. Now, no one thinks of rebelling. Not when the British have forts all throughout the colonies. Not when the British navy controls the skies, their airships looking down over the entire world like hawks poised to strike. Not when the price isn't just death, but the deaths of potentially everyone you love. But in a world ruled by fear and power hope comes from the unlikeliest of sources. There are always those that are pushed to far, who have lost a little too much, or who simply need the freedom of the skies. Those are the pirates; a collection of rebels, thrill-seekers, victims, and criminals whose motives are as diverse as their personalities but who are all headed towards a single flashpoint that will change everything. These are some of their stories.

Girl Apocalypse by ELatimer

My name is Molly, and I am a walking apocalypse. Death on two legs. Life on the streets of Cheshire makes you hard, but it never prepared me for this. It all started when I stole something, nothing more than a pretty trinket that caught my eye (I didn't say I was honest). Later I find out it's a carrier of black magic. A deadly spell that will end life as we know it. I have days to get it across the world and into the right hands. And only minutes before the men chasing me finally catch up.

Not So Different, yet as Different as Can Possibly Be by AzekhArhiman

18+ Interspecies Femdom smut/fluff one-shots. Across the myriad universes, there exist myriad peoples of a myriad of lineages. And while many races are asexual entire, many more have a habit of "getting handsy." And not always with those of the same race as them. These stories each take place in different universes, some futuristic, some fantastical, and some nearly indistinguishable from our own, but with the addition of people who are not human. So yeah, a bunch of fantasy, alien, monster, and paranormal femdom erotica for all you sub dudes, dom ladies, and switches abroad who have an attraction to non-human sapient races. There will be some male human × female nonhuman, some female human x male nonhuman, and a few where neither are human. Completed for now, might update in the future. 🤷‍♀️

Lord Of The Skies by BoneAgentLakoul

Here we go again. So, a very sexy tank came up to me, and had another idea to give me. Now, I was unfamiliar with this game he was talking about, but now since he introduced me to it, my battery is getting increasingly low! Ha! Just kidding, I'm scared to play it because it might distract me from my homework! Fuck homework! This is a fanfiction about Arknights, a tower defence Gacha game that makes you spend your life savings to gamble for your waifus and husbandos. What is wrong with people? Well, we had a long discussion in my inbox, both of us have great ideas for this shtick. This will not include the doctor, and it will hold few catgirls, because our approach is towards the lore, and focusing on how to fix the lore. Also, this also includes flying machines, that was somehow forgotten in this dimension. The premise is, if I could even interpret it, is about two brothers, and a very old infected immortal ghoul, wanting to revive the art of flying, and mass producing planes. They have to go all around the world in their landship, which will evolve later on in the story, to give out planes, gain money, and of course, rid the world of hazardous, non medicinal drugs. You'll...see soon later. Although, competition, even in a world that's basically in the shit, is still alive, oh, and they also are focused on helping to make the cure, and to stop catastrophes from occurring. I hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed discussing it. Oh yeah, his account. @Panzerkampfwagen_V. Yes, that is his name.
