Slater Tross is given a second chance to live.
It shouldn't happen like this. Instead of going to prison for his heinous crimes, he is being forced to join the Imperial Guard, Oltima's greatest force in terms of military power.
But prior to his arrest, a peculiar mark appears on his left arm. A shady insignia, signaling control by a supernatural cult.
With the Imperial Guard threatening his existence with failure and the omniscient cult to manipulate his every thought and movement, Slater has run out of options. He's just a teenager trying to survive.

"Everyone loves a good fantasy, but my life was turned upside down by one." What would you do if you had the ability to control the air? How about if you were suddenly brought to a world where, despite your powers, you're at the bottom of the food chain? On a fateful night, Max Walker finds himself summoned to Asterisk and contracted to Liliana Lockwood as her familiar. Forced to leave behind his life on Earth, Max begins a precarious journey into the unknown world of magic. Training as a knight, learning to control mana, battling rogue necromancers and even being mistaken for Duke Walker's son... it's just one thing after the next. But as if that wasn't bad enough, Asterisk, a world which subverts reality as you know it, may just have something to do with Max's own heaven-defying origin... and a secret that could leave the universe hanging by a thread.

Gaslight Trials | The Wattys2023 Shortlister ✔️ by EvelynHail

| 𝟳𝘅 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗗 ·|| HUNGER GAMES x CINDER || ONC 2023 Honorable Mention Amidst the escalating unrest between the windborne utopian city of Lighthaven and its seedy, oppressed underbelly Fumedge, the Grand Duke of Lighthaven, Lucius Sextus, comes up with an ingenious solution. To provide much-wanted respite from the brewing conflict, and achieve the apparent-if-temporary unity, he organizes Gaslight Trials - a highly entertaining panem-et-circenses combat event in the Pits. The combatants may use all steam and thaumaturgy powered augmentations at their disposal, and there is only one rule: defeat, or be defeated. The reward for the last one standing? A chance to start their life anew. A brass key to the city of Lighthaven with a luxurious mansion to call their own within, as well as an aeroship to command. When eighteen-year-old Veda Igglesden steps forward to take her timeworn adoptive father's place in the fight, she might as well be signing her death-sentence. With her eyes fully set on the prize, act-first-think-later Veda must harness the power of technology to try and win for her Papa Otto. Decades of breathing in the toxic air of Fumedge did a number on the old inventor's lungs, and being able to live in the air-filtered Lighthaven would sure come in handy right about now. A high-flying adventure full of gadgetry and intrigue; a pleasing blend of steampunk and postapocalyptic. See Veda unravel the mysterious ploy behind the game's organization, and uncover the truth about her secret origins. Can she cope both with the trials of physical and intellectual prowess, as well as with the trials of life itself: those of love, loss and regret? © 2023 EvelynHail Exclusively on Wattpad Based on prompt 49! Which is (I shan't leave ye hanging :P): "Master the rules of the game until you can play it better than they can." Michael Scott, "The Sorceress" Get ready for steampunkish tinkering,
To Love Victoria by Jevena01
12 parts Ongoing Mature
After a strange encounter with a man who warns him of his future, twenty-four year-old James Walker finds himself in the crossfire between a group of soldiers and an ancient eldritch creature. Upon realising that James may be more than what initially meets the eye, the soldiers take him into custody. To vampires, he is what is called a Blackblood, something that is neither a human nor a vampire. Unlucky for him, Blackbloods are given the death penalty. James is horrified to have learned that he is no longer truly human. As a way of earning his freedom, he is conscripted into the Capital Shock Regiment, a regiment with a ninety percent casualty rate designed for vampire criminals on death row. If he survives, he earns his freedom. Here, he slowly bonds with fellow inmate, Victoria Cross. They both deal with their traumatic pasts but now, James must deal with an uncertain future where billions could die. The answer to all of it lies in the hands of a single mysterious figure that he desperately attempts to track down. With society on the brink of civil war in a world full of beings beyond our comprehension, the two engage in a plot that will change the fabric of the Universe. Updates every Friday and maybe some Tuesdays. I already have about twenty chapters. Warning, this book does contain a lot of gore, violence and scenes of torture. Trigger warnings will be given in each necessary chapter. This book has been tagged mature for a reason.

The Misfits

30 parts Complete

Cover by: @xLovEtoLivEx A group of misfits with extraordinary abilities are thrown into a world they never knew existed. In a world like this, a person who you think is your closest ally is, in fact, your worst enemy. Alex Walker knows this first-hand, or at least, he thinks he does. When it comes to trust you have to be careful or else you might end up in a situation you never thought was possible. Ignorance is bliss after all. Or is it? Andrew Jones might be able to tell you. That is if he lives to tell the tale. Then again, maybe death is the only way out. Unless your a misfit that is. - - - Blurb from the story! ------------------ Drew grimaced and said, "Fine, I will! I'll do it please don't hurt me! I'll do whatever you want!" He continued to yelp as the figure twisted his arm further. "Good," The smaller figure said as the taller one released his arm, "We want you to tell us everything those little delinquents do and don't let them realize you aren't one of them until he comes." At those words, my whole world turned upside down.
