The year is 2789. Humanity is now an interplanetary species, having expanded outwards from earth over six hundred years ago, when Streamline engine technology was invented. Having conquered the entirety of the Sol solar system, our species explored further into the Milky Way, with massive overpopulation depleting the essential necessities for life in the core worlds. With starvation and disease running rampant, the inner colonies launched a mass exodus into the other solar systems in a desperate bid for these vital resources. This mad dash for resources sparked the war between the Frontier Colony Coalition and the United Earth Government.
After twenty years of fighting for freedom from the slavery and murder common on UEG controlled worlds, the FCC are all but exhausted. Only a single option remains; capture the High President of the UEG and use her to force the leviathan super-government to end the war. The mission is to be completed by a single operative, hand-picked by the FCC's military leaders.
This operative is Vyctor Cirus- one of the youngest, yet most skilled covert operators the FCC has to offer.
However, despite his best efforts, Vyctor will likely fail and be killed or captured on his mission. Even knowing this, he accepts the task before him. Though he will face many setbacks, there is one setback in particular that brings his mission to a near total halt: Valrie Jazmi, a UEG intelligence recruit fresh out of the academy.
As the two are locked in a battle of morals and logic on their travels, they face deadly threats and constant danger together, both fighting a war on two fronts; one against eachother, and one for survival. Vyctor and Valrie soon find themselves facing an impossible revelation... but will they be able to accept their fate?

17 partes Concluida
Special Agent Alyssa Caine has been tasked with the most important mission of her life: the assassination of the man who would bring about the end of the world. The only problem? He is already dead. A minor issue that is resolved in the year 2157 when a renegade group of scientists develops a device that allows to jump through time. They recruit the former special agent to send her back fifty years, to take just one man out of the equation, a minimal change with a predicted maximal effect on the fate of the world, and prevent a devastating war that has driven the last surviving humans to live in decrepit underground bunkers. Every action has a consequence. Alyssa is humanity's last hope, and her actions will determine the fate of the whole world. She is willing to sacrifice everything for a better future. But she soon realizes that the impact of her actions might be beyond her control, and beyond all predictions. _____ Highest Rankings: #16 in Science [06.02.2019] #36 in Dystopia [06.02.2019] #65 in FemaleProtagonist [01.02.2019] #71 in TimeTravel [06.02.2019] #1 in Paradox [28.02.2019] #1 in ONC2019 [01.02.2019] #3 in OpenNovellaContest2019 [28.02.2019] This is my entry for the ONC 2019!

This is the old version of this book. It will be discontinued but there is currently a new version being made right now which is on my profile. Koa, a 17 year old boy lived in a world full of shifters. It's his last year of high school and he is ready to be done and move on with his life. Tomorrow is his 18th birthday which indicates he will finally be able to find his mate. Throughout his first day as a senior, he found his classes and even made friends on the way. In one of his classes though, English, a conversation started on the topic of the known to be extinct dragon shifters. Even though it got dark, he remained the same and went on about his day. Many people avoided Koa due to him being intimidating. He was known for having a bad temper and getting into many fights for no absolute reason. And surprisingly, he was an omega with the looks and temper of an alpha. Excited to meet his mate, he couldn't wait for the day to end, but little did he know his life would change forever on the day he thought would be his best. "You're ours, nobody else shall touch you or they may never touch anything again." "If it means locking you up where the only ones who can please you, touch you, and enjoy your presence is us, then we will be sure to make that happen, little puppy." "We've waited your whole life to get you under our possession. We will have you once you wake." -Make sure to check out tags before reading.- MxMxB/MxMxM ⚠️There has been many complaints and concerns regarding the story, so please be warned that the Mc will be treated more like a pet/animal throughout the story and especially the beginning, but this will get better and calm down after some time.⚠️ TW: Suicide attempts Self harm (not too much) Manipulation Kidnapping Chains/collars/muzzles/leashes/ropes Some bondage Stockholm syndrome/trauma bonding Slaves Unfair treatment Agegap (17-19 years) Deaths/killings Mentions of torture (some does show) Attempted rape Etc

It's divided into three main sections, the city, the framlands, and the Lowers. The people are divided into three groups as well, Uppers, Middles and Lowers. Uppers are made of elite scientist, Astro-crops, bureaucrats they made up about 3% of the population. The Middles are are the farmers, the guard, teachers, doctors, the food processors, clothes makers and of course the mechanical maintenance workers. They make-up the 97% of the 10,000 counted citizens. The lowers are criminals and children born to un-paired parents. They live separated from the middles and Upper.

| Description | Vic, a young man in his early 20s, suddenly finds himself waking up in the crazy fucked up world of Borderlands in a body not his own. He's initially troubled with the situation he awoke to like any normal person would be. However, he doesn't remain in that state for long because of the many opportunities this new chance at life could bring him. The young man could've stayed miserable about the whole scenario he's been placed in, but he decides to make the best of things and embrace the opportunity he was given out of the blue. So armed with a plethora of knowledge about the dangerous world he awoke in, thanks to the many thousands of hours he's poured into the Borderlands series and a system reminiscent of those from the games, he sets out from the bandit tent ready to stake his claim on the world and live life to its fullest. | Additional Information | I don't really care for any of the games beyond the pre-sequel, so anything written story wise after it will be ignored and probably not used. This also includes the telltale games and the upcoming Borderlands 4 game that looks like a carbon copy of 3.

Trepidation: Act 1 de CashewNutt12
10 partes Concluida Contenido adulto
10,000 years in the future, humanity has long since inhabited a region of space simply known as the "Habitable Zone of the Milky Way," or simply the "Habitable Zone." Many advancements have been made, though many are irrelevant to the billions - or perhaps more - of souls scattered across space. Everything operates under the silent, vague, but present scrutiny of the gods, with thaumaturgic talents dominating many human cultures in some capacity. Churches reign over the post-Altarum territories a century after the Silence. The World, at least as far as many within the Habitable Zone are concerned, is a cold, thoughtless plane of existence. It is within a single vessel, known as the CSS Groundskeeper, do things begin to influence the "Things To Be," as labeled by followers of the pantheon. Within this ship, two individuals will face the beginning of what is to be unimaginable horrors within an unforgiving universe, both with the same goal: do not succumb to the darkness. Trepidation: Act I is the first story in what is to be a much longer novel detailing the story of two individuals in the cold universe. Act I may contain disturbing content for some readers. Special thanks to Lilian (liliantherat@bsky.social) Elise S. (Seventh Bean) Colt Klassic C.W.K. Peregrine Nasturtium_K Chaz Shade For inspiration and your characters for novel adaptation. Trepidation, Act I and future acts, would not be possible without all of you. (I am awestruck at how well this has done. The read to vote ratio is something I never could have expected, and I thank both my friends and all new readers for current and continued support, even if the support is merely reading. Seriously, thank you.)

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!

Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351. She's always been fascinated with how humans used to live in houses, drive cars, and the fact that there used to be forests and parks everywhere. Now, after a war that nearly erased humanity, people are forced to live a strict, dull, communist lifestyle. Everyone seems okay with this way of life. Everyone except Maxine. Maxine had always been special; she was often able to predict events. How? She didn't exactly know...yet. When she starts having dreams about a tropical island where people live as they did in the 21st century, she meets the man of her dreams: literally. Her new boiling emotions bring her to wonder...what if it's a real place? When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination. Finding that island could mean finding the answers to her burning questions, and maybe even answers to questions she didn't know she had. However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is. The Advisors, the ten women governing the world, want to assimilate the people of the island, not knowing that those people have an extreme advantage over them. Maxine also learns that her family has been lying to her about who she really is. Ultimately, when the Advisors come to destroy the island, she must face the fact that she is the key to the island's salvation, and embracing her rapidly developing abilities is the only way to do so.

When the multiverse cracks, only the forgotten shall remember. Across an infinite lattice of realms, where wormholes carve paths through dimensions and stars burn with coded prophecy, a cataclysm stirs, an ancient, deliberate, and far older than time itself. The Original Continuum is unraveling. Summoned by a cryptic terminal message, seven chosen souls, Sol, Xairo, Caelith, Jacob, Kyle, Aris and Ryn, unaware that they are the last safeguard between existence and absolute collapse. Each bears a dormant connection to a Spirit, a spectral echo of their will, far weaker than a Conduit, yet potent enough to shape reality through combat, memory, and resolve. But the true storm brews far beyond. The Godly Conduits, eternal forces like Absolute Anarchy, Perfect Tranquility, and 0, have begun to stir. Once symbols, now sentient. Once anchors, now fractured weapons. These beings do not serve. They decide the fabric of spacetime itself. With the emergence of the Several God tier Orb, mythical artifacts forged before the First Collapse, and the resurgence of the Veltrian Script, language of the Titans and Aetherials, the past and future bleed into now. Realms are falling into Miasmia, and the Watcher of Phantomnexis has taken the stage, a being who deceived even the Annihilator itself. This is not a battle for peace. It is a war for continuity. A rewriting of meaning. To stand against the coming void, they must transcend what they are. Not champions. Not heroes. But concepts, forged in entropy, bound in memory, and risen through will. There came a time when the prophecy fell, when truth withered into its final testament. From that end rose the arch nemesis, the substantial antimony of all order, wrapped in the shroud of the ultimate miasmia, repeated through histories of Atlantis itself and beyond.
