When Adam is saved from monsters by a strange man in a coat he is shown a secret world, a world full of gods and monsters, angels and demons, a world at war.

He is given an ultimatum, head to another dimension and gain power, or never be safe again. Guided by a soldier, a lunatic in a magic hat, and a spider (by adoption) he is taken to meet the Laughing One, a strange creature who seeks to teach him to reach his potential.

But beset by the emotionless Legate, the violent Ursas, the mysterious Kings Man and their army of monsters, and without even a clear idea of what's going on how can he hope to survive in this strange new world?

And even if he does reach the end of his path, will he recognise himself in the Laughing Man he is becoming?All Rights Reserved

Avarice Blacksteel Book 2 by Xonereth

Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.

Recognising you, Adam doesn't want to try his luck and keeps quiet. you grow on him making him realise you didn't deserve to fall, but you start to figure him out as you both work on the path to redemption! ~this story may or will contain~ slight gore descriptions (when there's fights) smut (lemon and lime) fluff angst enemies to lovers abuse(?) ships that some may not like.

How to Climb the Chain by apsmiles1

Eleana is a troubled young woman. Surrounded by wealth, many think she has everything made. A perfect life, perfect grades, perfect in athletics. A bright future. But they don't see behind the scenes. They don't see the depression and sadness that plagues her. The scars that she bears. But perhaps her future isn't so clear. Perhaps it is shrouded with the unknown. Especially, when one day, she wakes up in an unfamiliar forest and finds her self surrounded by strangers. Psycho prisoners who wear masks to hide their identities. Prisoners of whom are all male and disgustingly twisted. Completely isolated from the outside world, how will she ever survive in this new world of beasts and deranged savages?

I was sitting in his lap and I tried to look everywhere but at him because of the fact I was straddling him. "You look way better in my clothes" Adam smirked at me. "Stop enjoying this too much" I slapped him hard on his shoulders "Feisty, I like it" He looked pretty hilarious in my crop top, his chest looked like it would rip it. ***************************************** Do remember reading fairytales when you were younger about the magic of wizards. But they never existed right? What if I told you they did. Selena is dragged into a life she didn't know existed until Adam walks into her life. To her he's just another bad boy with issues but her bad boy just so happens to be a Prince...A prince of what ? ... Well you just have to read to find out...
