Pendulum is a vast city, clockwork and steam fusing together in a delicate symphony of lies and mystery. When thousands of people disappear from Pendulum, the city is thrown into a state of mayhem, demanding answers and rioting the streets. The people return two weeks later, confused and memories hazy, remembering nothing but darkness from the time that they were gone. All seems well again, despite the whispers in the city that far more is at play than it seems. 
Barely a week after the people have returned, airships crash out of the sky and steam trains derail, destroying the city of Pendulum and killing thousands. Pendulum rebuilds, rising from the ashes, and during this time; theories are formed, mysteries are snatched up. 
A mysterious alliance known only as the Fireflies; rises up from the burning wreckage of Pendulum. They believe that these two events were not accidents. They believe they are connected. 
That the government of Pendulum is behind these malevolent events. 
They believe it is not over. 
The Fireflies will uncover secrets far more sinister than any of them were ever prepared for, and they will be swallowed by darkness that they never saw coming.All Rights Reserved

Infected Realms by JesseLeighty

**Infected Realms** *The end of the world isn't always what it seems.* A routine sleep study turns into something far more sinister when a group of participants begin experiencing unexplainable phenomena. What starts as an ordinary experiment soon spirals into chaos, as reality itself seems to shift around them. Strange events, impossible memories, and a deadly threat emerge, tearing apart the very fabric of their world. As society begins to unravel, a small group of survivors must band together to confront a terrifying new reality. The infection is spreading, but no one knows how or why. What they do know is that nothing will ever be the same again. In a race against time, they must uncover the truth before the world as they know it falls apart. But some questions might be better left unanswered...

Firefly ✔️ by EmilyAnnGoodwin

The yellow lights in the trees are calling, dancing in the woods in the dead of night. Following them means leaving behind the only world she's ever known. Soul Youngblood has had everything taken from her. From her childhood, when a government spec-ops monster called a Berserker murdered her father, she has been forced to live off-grid, away from the Capitol, blacklisted because of her father's past as a rebel. The Fireflies: a myth, one that Soul believes in wholeheartedly. A rebel force to be reckoned with, hidden away in the miles of dense forest outside the Capitol, an organization with a strange and hidden connection to her late father. All Soul has ever known is running. So run.

Engineer's Empire by gidjinn

A long journey that I literally walked through the fire to save. It was the one thing I managed to save when my house burned to the ground a year ago. I'm putting it out here for the first time for people to read. Please let me know what you think and thank you for taking the time. Hopefully we'll continue to enjoy this journey together. This is a tale of Slade, a young boy who was convinced his life didn't matter. He lives in a massive empire that was carved out of hundreds of frightened villages centuries ago during the Long Night. Now what was once an army of adventurers and guild members is now one of the greatest forces in the world. But strange forces seek to undo all of this when the Withered Hand unleashes a sleeping sickness that deprives of waking child of tomorrow. Slade and his friends are the only ones that manage to escape the clutches of the Nightmare King. Now, with the help of the ancient wizard Rune, they will travel the Empire, enlisting the aid of the sage Guilds, each keepers of a different type of knowledge and skill, to find a way to wake the children of the Empire once again. *Each of the 4 guilds has a special focus of knowledge. They are: The Engineers: Designers and builders of machinery The Sorcerers: The keepers of the arcane and magic The Alchemists: The workers of change and transmutation, seeing what can be changed from one element to the next The Apothecaries: Keepers of the body. Makers of tinctures, salves, potions and other remedy to ailments of the body and mind.

Shifters by thefallenposeidon

Imagine awakening with amnesia. Most would lose their mind and our Main Character is no different. Though he handles it better than most, his curiosity slowly pulls him into a magical adventure filled with danger, death and sometimes loss on an unimaginable scale to regain what he lost. Will he finally regain his memories and gain the peace of mind he so desperately needs or will it pull him even further into the abyss..... Feel Free to comment. Do keep in mind these are all mere first drafts (especially the first 5 chapters which were created as a teenager) and will be re-edited on completion! Edit - The first few chapters have been fixed, however, the others need a bit of work which they'll surely receive in the coming months! New Chapters every Saturday! (2023) Would love the feedback

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.

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

I wrote this for EVERYONE. An introduction to my universe.Best for slow , attentive , close reading. Stick with it. When you get to the action parts (which doesn't take long ) you should be invested enough to want to unravel the mystery and enjoy its intrigue.. The flood is raging. A terrifying, heartless mountain of water, swallowing the world in inevitable finality. 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. What does it take to take everything? Every home, every name, every last trace of what once was. And who would do such a thing? And how? No one has ever seen anything that would make them believe in magic. Gamleon is the first to see and to survive. His mind near collapse under the strain, his heart broken. He runs. What would you do? What could anyone do? A world of mythological beasts and medieval men, where Gorgon hordes slither beneath the earth, clawing for metal, for power, for anything. But they come for your children. Opulent kings wage wars over things no one can even recall, blind to the coming obliteration. 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 the cataclysm. In this special place, something incredible, cut off from the outside, lurks. Something... you won't be ready for or ever expect. Our weary, world-worn adventurer is a paradox: terrifying perhaps, yet tender, grotesque but with a quiet dignity bordering on noble, intimidating and innately intelligent. With no choice but to navigate the unexpected Gorgon tunnels, his inner thoughts help us all learn how to persist and triumph in the face of impossible odds. Join him and be swept away as he reconciles never-before-seen innovations and insurmountable challenges. Dignity and hope. Self-respect and courage.
