The "Age of Heroes."

That's what they called it in the textbooks. I wasn't alive when it began, but I heard stories.  Stories of people suddenly discovering they could levitate when they tripped down the stairs, people getting a little too angry at their mobile game and shorting out their phone, people getting a case of 'hysterical strength' when their life was in danger but keeping that strength afterwards. 

About 0.05% of the human population developed mysterious powers very suddenly around the early-to-mid 1900s.

It was to say the least, chaos. Supers abusing their power to commit crimes, some supers donning masks and trying to fight fire with fire, and a few just trying to lay low.

But that was in the past. Nowadays, we have the Hero Agency, an international organization recruiting supers to help combat criminal supers. It had all the flair and pizzazz of the 'golden age of superheroes,' as some older folks might say, along with actual funding from the Hero Agency.

"Well then what's the story?" you may ask. Everything did seem to be tied up in a neat little bow, after all. Well, I guess that all starts with me.

Paragon by flamewings

COMPLETED, IN THE PROCESS OF EDITING To our creators, it was a simple plan. They would send us in, wait for us to take out the Prime Order Director, and then make sure we were never heard from again. By killing us, they would become heroes, and the world would see what we were capable of. People would see that the future was in Paragons like us. But they didn't realize just how powerful we were. They didn't count on us turning on them. Now the Prime Order wants to hide us from the world. They want us to forget who we are and what we can do. They think they can succeed in controlling us, but they won't. Our creators will come for us, but when they do, we'll be ready. They may have their machines and their weapons, but we have each other. And we have our powers. We are Paragons. We are Skyfall. In a future where genetic modification and robotic armor suits are commonplace, Katana Wilder just wants peace for herself and her adopted family. She wants to forget her years of training as an assassin and live a normal life. But when the company that created them comes back for revenge, she must put aside her reservations and fight for her freedom.

With Love, Comes Violence by Kinogassa

In a world where love has become a dangerous game, violence is no longer a crime-it's law. Following a global crisis that caused birthrates to plummet and society to unravel, a radical new solution was proposed: Love's Law-a decree legalizing physical combat as a means to claim romantic partners. Now, affection is fought for with fists, and relationships are forged in bruises and blood. Seventeen-year-old Bell Ignis, known in the underground arena as The Heat Riser, doesn't believe in love. Raised in a post-crisis generation, he treats the law like a joke-until a mysterious girl, a cryptic prophecy, and a looming threat known only as The Snow of Artemis pull him into a battle far bigger than the next match. As Bell navigates broken hearts, buried secrets, and brutal fights, he must confront a terrifying truth: what if love was never meant to be kind? With Love Comes Violence is a bold, unflinching debut that mixes dystopian satire, high-stakes action, and emotional reckoning. In a world where affection justifies assault and passion breeds power, the only question left is: can love survive what we've done to it?

the dark light by magic_is_somewhere

My life was supposed to be normal. You're born, raised by good parents, go to school, make friends, graduate, get a job. You create fun memories, find the love of your life, get married, start a family, grow old, and eventually, you breathe your last. That's what life was supposed to be like for me. But instead, my life turned out to be the opposite of normal. And so it was for Chiara, Blake, Jake, Rowan, Nova, and Dijon. To tell our story, we need to go all the way back to the beginning. Before we were even born. It all started 30 years ago. April 5, 2003. a class got into an accident and when the survivors woke up, they realized something was wrong. they got powers , they got taken by scientist who started calling them the hollows. It took almost a month before they were rescued by Mr. Knight, they got taken to a secret place where they could live peacefully. that's a lie, one of the students wanted revenge and not stay hidden, so the group seperated. Every year another person got powers, and so, the search continued. But there was always one question on mr. Knight mind: Why 12 children the first time, and only one per year after that? And one thing was for sure: whenever someone gained powers, they had to give something up in return. It was never a choice. It was just the way it was. So, now that I've explained a bit about how this all started, let's fast forward to the present. It's now 2033. Mr. Knight has found 19 children, and Mr. Douglas, the leader of the other group, has found 10. That means... the 30th child is out there somewhere. Who will it be? And one more thing before I go-welcome to the world of Dark Light.

Magicland : The Legend Sword by thantharchowai

I'm from @Hnineihling1993 . It's my old account. I wrote some stories with that. And I still write those stories in this account too but it will be different because I edited a lot. It's a fantasy and adventure story. if you like Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and Lord of the rings, you'll like this story too. It takes place in the 2000s, almost present day. If you like teen drama, humor and adventures, this might be tested for you. Most of the towns are imaginary but I used the real map to show what towns are in which city. And this is a franchise and will have at least 10 seasons. Take time!
