Five hundred years from now, the Earth is a very different place. For as long as its sparse population can remember, the planet has been shrouded in a mysterious and perpetual blanket of darkness. It is a dreary world where cities are spread out and cut off from each other. Crime, poverty, and hopelessness rule the people with a tyranny that rivals the caste based classes that govern.
However, all is not lost; an organization known as the Shadows watch in secret. They are charged with covertly maintaining balance and order in the world. Since the beginning of the darkness, they have manipulated events in human history, making sure our race does not teeter over into the bottomless pit of anarchy. More importantly, they know the secret of the all-consuming darkness overtaking the world, and how to end it.
The Shadows possess immeasurable and supernatural power and as time progressed there were those among the ranks of Shadow leaders who sought misuse such power. Now, in humanities darkest hour, a civil war is brewing amongst the Shadows, threatening to reveal their half century secret, and bring destruction to the human race.

It's 2500 and the world is still suffering from the disastrous effects of World War 3. Plague, the result of the recent biochemical war, sweeps across Eurasia, leaving millions dead in its wake. Even the best scientists in Europe are powerless against it. The main reason for the general misery is this. Europe is now under the tyrannical rule of the Democratic Republic of America, and this has wreaked havoc upon the streets of Europe. Poverty, starvation and disease now fill even the greatest of Europe's cities. They hold a cautious peace treaty with the Oceanic Union, but of course, this doesn't come without a price. However, for Europe at least, there is a glimmer of hope. For the growing resistance has finally managed to recruit the greatest criminals of the 26th century to spark the beginning of the greatest rebellion in human history. Unfortunately for them, the 'greatest criminals of the 26th century' are teenagers. And even in this day and age, teenagers still bring their insecurities and petty rivalries with them, wherever they go. So, this is the question: can this team of misfit criminals bring a golden age of peace? Or will they set the world on fire for the fourth time?Concluída![Incipient | Book #2 [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/150817270-256-k82166.jpg)

Behold, for the destroyer of worlds, Xam'ar of Xylanthia shall return." *************************** Somewhere among the billions stars in the universe, there existed a planet located in the Sirius Star System which orbited around a black dwarf star. It was called Xylanthia. Xylanthia was the home planet to extraterrestrials which were said to have visited earth and founded the ancient city of Atlantis. The Xylans had been the architects of one of the greatest wars the world had faced in history known as guerra de mundos meaning war of worlds. Earth was saved by a group of supernatural beings created from an ancient powerful gemstone called the bloodstone and they were called 'The Incipients'. They were granted the power to vanquish the Xylans but such power came at a price, an even bigger price than they were willing to pay which resulted in their demise. Thousands of years later, the prophecy was fulfilled and the new generations of Incipients set out to fulfill their destinies and save the world from the ruthless hands of Xam'ar. Along the way, the Incipients stumbled upon a secret that changed their lives forever. Would they save the world from the Xylans or is history bound to repeat itself?Concluída
Dimensions and The Mysterious Asteroid
In a universe shaped by an ancient cosmic artifact-the celestial asteroid containing primordial energy from the Big Bang-the fabric of time and space fractures as the past, present, and future collide. This asteroid reawakens ancient powers and secrets long buried beneath the sands of history, intertwining the Prehistoric Age, the Dark Ages, the Magic Era, the Age of Alchemy, ancient civilizations, and the Technology Era. The disruption can be traced back to the New Year of Year 3000, a crucial moment when groundbreaking discoveries emerge alongside new technologies that include ancient books harboring magical properties, dimensional travel between Mars and Earth, the first official launch of virtual reality that can transfer your soul and body to a digital world and advanced time manipulation techniques that has been launch in the year 3000. This year will be the new era of the humankind, because of new discoveries defy the law of physics. It defies science and scientist can't stop this phenomenon in the past present and future. The archeologist discovers real magic artifacts, ancient books that can't debunked because the spells was activated. And some gemstones have magical properties that can fuel an entire city. The year 3000 heralded the eco-friendly era, yet it came with a dire consequence: the melting of vast portions of the Arctic and Antarctic, leading to significant global sea level changes. Despite this, the world's achievements in this period are remarkably impressive. "Disclaimer: AI assisted in writing this story.

Daybreak Apocrypha - Arcus Primarius
Long ago, our planet was visited by beings from another world, and they built cities here and created human beings here based on their own DNA but modified to suit the Earth's environment. We humans referred to them as their gods, who taught them the knowledge of their world, on which our world was modeled after. But alas, they were flawed beings, just like us humans. They had complicated romantic relationships with each other and with humans, and also led human populations to fight war with each other using weapons of mass destruction over their petty disagreements. Human beings are still part of that legacy. A group of enlightened people who have reincarnated many times from those days to learn that this is not the way forward. Pooling their resources together, they have decided to try and put an end to this vicious cycle once and for all. But how much do they know? How much control do they have over their destiny? Will they succeed? Or will they fall prey to the machinations of their enemy, whose identity they don't even know.Concluída
Star Wars: Rise of the Fel Empire
STAR WARS: Rise of the Fel Empire Forty-six years before the Battle of Yavin... The Galactic Republic, ancient and vast, governs millions of star systems. Its Senate is increasingly paralyzed by factionalism, procedural delay, and the growing power of interstellar corporations whose influence rivals that of entire sectors. Along the Outer Rim, disputes over trade routes, taxation, and security escalate faster than the Republic can respond. Entire regions fall under the control of commercial alliances, while local governments appeal-often unsuccessfully-for aid from the Core. The Jedi Order, stretched thin across the galaxy, is dispatched to contain rising instability. With no great war to fight and no Sith threat believed to exist, the Jedi serve primarily as mediators and investigators, attempting to preserve order in a Republic showing signs of strain. Beyond the Republic's borders, in the uncharted depths of Wild Space, long-range exploration missions push farther than ever before. Unaware of what lies ahead, the Republic stands on the brink of first contact with a power hidden for millennia- a meeting that will irrevocably alter the balance of the galaxy.
The Purging
Humanity has long believed that it was the highest order of life on Earth, the pinnacle of evolution. We were wrong. There are others who covet the crown, and they aren't pleased with what we've done to the planet. Pollution and overpopulation have left our world crippled and spiraling towards utter destruction. To many among the preternatural species, mankind is a disease that must be remedied if anyone is to survive the next step. Kagan, tyrant of the vampire cabal and his ally the mongrel father Ahmu, have raised an army. Fueled by hate and a mysterious stimulant simply known as "juice", they will cut a swath through human civilization. The cabal is not without enemies, however. There are allies among the others, those who will strive for the betterment of all. An ancient empress and her most loyal general will lead the charge to save us all. Humanity itself is not totally defenseless. The Angelista Corporation has been expecting this day for quite some time. Preparations have just been completed for the most advanced weapons system ever devised by man. All they need now is the right candidate, and they just found one. But will their invention be enough to protect them from a fanatical cult of elemental channels? It's an adrenaline soaked thrill ride through a world of overwhelming darkness. Alliances will be struck, millennia old feuds will be reignited, and blood will be spilled in all corners of the globe. The end is nigh, The Purging War has begun.Concluída
