The discovery of the Nine Worlds and the mechanical World-Tree is the greatest discovery since the invention of steam power, but all great discoveries have unintended consequences. The World-Tree is dying, two nations battle for control and the only solution is to send a scout to find the truth. But what the two nations could not foresee was that the scout, Skáti, they sent to explore this fantastical discovery, finds a truth that is not only unexpected, but it’s a truth that’s all his own.  
Combining the widely popular markets of Nordic Mythology, Steampunk and mainstream literature, Philosophia is a story that excites and relates to every reader on a basic human level.  Meet characters that must solve the same political and moral issues that we do, in a system that is on the brink, if they have any hope of saving the human race.

Awakening - The Last Science #1 by Etzoli
143 parts Complete
No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series. New chapters will be posted on Fridays for as long as it takes to tell the whole story.

Addiction - Book 9 of the Alpha Series by EeveeAndras
33 parts Ongoing Mature
Addiction - Book 9 of the Alpha Series Anubis has made his will known and for that, we find ourselves indebted to the God of the Dead. To keep our position as caretakers of the Unicorn, we must act as the unofficial hell hounds, ordered to aid in the checks and balances of the new world. While the Earth continues to spin, it doesn't come without its new laws- or lack thereof. Gods of all regions descend upon the unsuspecting mortals in a bid to regain control of their respective regions all while humanity tries desperately to rebuild amid yet another world war. Suddenly, one's cultural background means very little when nobody is safe from becoming an unstable vessel for an unworldly being. The only one who can stop the madness is the Unicorn, yet the child is barely old enough to read and write. It's up to us to persevere until Darrius is old enough to act. Meanwhile, the weight of becoming Death, an unwilling horseman, falls squarely on Verando's shoulders. What could possibly go wrong?

Thistle in the Sky | #NONC2022 | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges
27 parts Complete Mature
❖ ''ZF 16 Ariomma to unknown vessel. Please identify yourself. Over.'' ❖ Farah and Kazem are twins working aboard the Ariomma, a trading airship that sails the edges of a flat world. Out here is a frontier far from civilization: a place known as the Tideless, where water lifts from the surface of the sea, and great creatures rise with it. Only some of them are known. This is not a sailing path known for its safety, but the crew of the Ariomma have rarely feared their work. That is, until they find the carcass of another ship hanging in the Tideless, decimated by an unknown enemy. Soon, their flight to safety becomes a fight for their lives, as the monster turns its attention on the Ariomma... and them. ❖❖❖ Written for #NONC2022, a community-run novella festival operating in parallel with Wattpad's 2022 Open Novella Contest. Complete. Marked mature for violence and other dark themes. Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated. I write characters from many different backgrounds, with many different experiences. If you share those traits and find that I have misrepresented anything, please let me know!

SIGYN [The Jotunheim Saga Book I] by therunestoneguardian
19 parts Ongoing Mature
Sigyn is trying to stop a war; a war of vengeance her father, ruler of Jotunheim, promises. But to challenge the Gods over stolen lands means a bloodbath for the jotun, so Sigyn condemns her father's war cry. Her insubordination invites death to her door. With the help of her servant she escapes to the nearest safe-haven - Earth, and vows never to return home. In the simple mortal world, she can live however she chooses - as long as the humans don't get too close. But the pull of the unknown is too much for one girl to resist, and Sigyn can't find the heart to push her away. Each passing day, Sigyn's longing for home and the fear of certain death awaking her deepens as more giants - friends and enemies - infiltrate the mortal world. Just when she believes she has cheated her fate, news breaks: Odin is dead, and a universal war is inevitable. To protect the world she has grown to love, Sigyn must reclaim her title as Heir of Jotunheim and fulfill a fate destined to fail.

The Divine Armor of the Old Century（Book 2） by lingpeng216
181 parts Ongoing
This is one heck of a Victorian-style fantasy novel. Add a spoonful of steam engines to make that darned technology tree come alive! Add a spoonful of love and hatred, so everyone has good reasons to brawl! Add a spoonful of madness to lighten up this gloomy world, and finally, add a spoonful of natural disasters to play the main boss... and so on! Phew, that's a lot! ... Year 931 in the Engerwick Calendar. The city I reside in has been hailed as the most advanced in the West. The main reasons? The world-shaking steam technology, emerging technologies, and the wellspring of chaos. Can't deny it, but the fact remains that people keep flocking here to live. This city always gives you a glimmer of hope, whether it's lies or illusions, but it's so close, within arm's reach, making you risk life and limb. A city of hallucinations. I am one of those dream-chasers.
