In the dangerous slums of Metzerberg, a revolution is festering. 
Ever since the war, the Dominion has occupied the city, ruling over it with an iron fist. They have forced most of the non-human races, and those humans too poor to live in the upper city, down into the "Ghouls' Quarter," along the riverbanks.
It is in this crime infested cesspit that Rezik makes his living as a thief. His talent, along with his personal golem, give him much notoriety in Metzerberg's underworld.
When Rezik's illicit activities force him to cross paths with a young noblewoman, he soon finds himself caught up in a daring resistance movement. Stuck between the forces of the Dominion, the deadly resistance leaders, and the gangs of the Ghouls' Quarter, Rezik's only hope is to find the Secret's Broker: a shadowy figure who trades in intrigue and who may have information that will change Rezik's world forever.Wszelkie Prawa Zastrzeżone

"Hey, who are you?" I could tell he wasn't trying to scare him off while still trying to establish the fact that we could hurt him if we wanted to. "I was gonna ask you the same question," he replied. "But since to beat me to it, I'm Eli. I'm just a seventeen-year-old kid out here alone. Y'all seem to be in the same situation." His southern accent was thick but definitely not South Carolinian. It sounded more like he was from Alabama or Mississippi. "True. For how long?" "Four weeks. I ran away because of...circumstances," he said, trailing off on the last word. "Prove to us you're not dangerous," Marcus threatened. "Prove to me you're not dangerous," Eli countered. "I don't even know your names." "Fine. I'm Marcus, that's Peyton, Luke, and Aaliyah," he answered, gesturing toward each of us as he spoke. I could tell he didn't trust the guy, but he seemed good enough. He hadn't said anything to make us distrust him, but he also hadn't said anything to make us trust him. "Look, dude, I'm not trying to hurt you. I'm looking for something a friend told me about a few weeks ago. She said there was a whole network of teens out here, but there's a camp somewhere in Florida that gives them a place to stay. Secret, of course, and run by teens, but anyway, it seems safer than being out here and living off the land." "Wait, you mean there are more of us?" I asked. ☁ Three teenagers find themselves rejected by their families after they're all unexpectedly outed on the same night. With the help of their friend, they head to the streets in search of freedom and acceptance. Along the way they meet another boy, and there's more to him then they could have ever guessed. Follow each of them as they discover who they are, who they love, and more of their country's secrets than they could ever dream of in a thrilling trilogy told from all five points of view.

Gamleon's Tail ~ Welcome to the worlds of : Within ~ autorstwa Cicada3300

I wrote this for EVERYONE. An introduction to my universe.Best for slow , attentive , close reading. Stick with it. When you get to the action parts (which doesn't take long ) you should be invested enough to want to unravel the mystery and enjoy its intrigue.. The flood is raging. A terrifying, heartless mountain of water, swallowing the world in inevitable finality. The tunnel networks? Of course, that won't save them. The forests? Like leaves in a breeze. The lookout towers and trade hubs? Gone. Washed clean. What does it take to take everything? Every home, every name, every last trace of what once was. And who would do such a thing? And how? No one has ever seen anything that would make them believe in magic. Gamleon is the first to see and to survive. His mind near collapse under the strain, his heart broken. He runs. What would you do? What could anyone do? A world of mythological beasts and medieval men, where Gorgon hordes slither beneath the earth, clawing for metal, for power, for anything. But they come for your children. Opulent kings wage wars over things no one can even recall, blind to the coming obliteration. There is an isolated, forgotten place. A cavern, magnificent and vast, older than civilization. A place where the weird and the unwanted might ride out the cataclysm. In this special place, something incredible, cut off from the outside, lurks. Something... you won't be ready for or ever expect. Our weary, world-worn adventurer is a paradox: terrifying perhaps, yet tender, grotesque but with a quiet dignity bordering on noble, intimidating and innately intelligent. With no choice but to navigate the unexpected Gorgon tunnels, his inner thoughts help us all learn how to persist and triumph in the face of impossible odds. Join him and be swept away as he reconciles never-before-seen innovations and insurmountable challenges. Dignity and hope. Self-respect and courage.

Radiant Shadows autorstwa Swil411

Sophie Taylor is a force of nature. With her sun-kissed blonde hair, piercing green eyes, and a radiance that captivates everyone she meets, she seems destined for greatness-or disaster. As a fearless journalism student at NYU, Sophie's knack for uncovering hidden truths is matched only by her reckless streak. Balancing late-night parties and dangerous investigations, she dives headfirst into her latest target: VelGenics, a biotech giant tied to human disappearances and illegal trials. But her charm and defiance attract more than trouble-they draw the attention of the supernatural world. Adrian Velmount, the prince and enforcer of an ancient and ruthless vampire dynasty, is sent to silence Sophie before her investigation exposes their secrets. Cold, calculating, and impossibly handsome, Adrian is a master of control, armed with centuries of medical knowledge and a reputation that inspires fear across the supernatural realm. Killing a human should be routine-until he feels the bond, the soul connection vampires revere but Adrian despises. Sophie's innocence and recklessness clash with Adrian's precision and darkness, creating a dynamic neither of them can escape. As VelGenics escalates its experiments, Sophie becomes a pawn in a deadly game she barely understands. When she's captured and subjected to cruel trials, it's Adrian's expertise in medicine that saves her life-again and again. Despite his disdain for the bond, Adrian finds himself unable to abandon her, even as his family brands him a traitor. But Sophie's stubborn determination and fearless spirit are as dangerous as her beauty, dragging both of them into a web of betrayal and danger. With VelGenics hunting her and Adrian defying his family to protect her, their bond grows stronger-forcing Adrian to confront the humanity he's buried and the vulnerability Sophie has never known.

Blood and Thunder autorstwa KyleWilliamUrban

You've just woken in the woods, away from everything you know. You're dazed and confused, unable to comprehend what's just happened. As you are coming to, images flash before your eyes of the last few days. Your parents were taken by the police, you were forced to run, to leave everything behind, to save yourself and your sister. But she isn't here. You panic and look around, you stop. You remember. She too was taken, you are alone. For now. This is what happened to Alexander, his life has just been turned upside down. The year is 2415, the world has both evolved and devolved. It isn't how people imagined. Flying cars, robots in every house, telekinetic pencils. No, they are only in comic books. Self driving cars. No robots in houses, but workhouses instead. Telekinetic pencils... that's possible, if you are gifted with the power of telekinesis. There are dark truths hidden behind closed doors, that only few know. Truths that if they got out, would bring the downfall of the government. A government that has been deceiving people for generations. But they haven't been as careful as they thought, because 100 years ago, one guy found out their secrets. 100 years ago, one guy started the rebellion that would bring about the end. From burning books, rewriting history and breaking human rights, this government will stop at nothing to make it seem that they are doing good. But people have had enough, the secret came out before. It's only a matter of time until it happens again. This time by a group of people that no one expected. Together they work to find out the truth, but things have gotten worse over the last century and this may not only bring around the downfall of the government. Armed only the powers they were born with, the group do everything they can to discover the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But many have tried and failed, do they really stand a chance? Alexander doesn't think so, but his main concern is finding his sister, Rosia.

The Last Sin autorstwa Emmian_

Open Novella Contest 2025! This is my interpretation of prompt 50. A supervillain has a midlife crisis and decides to become a superhero. But redemption might be harder than they imagined. ___________________________________________________________________ Cassius Vale has spent his life in the shadows, a man forged by necessity-no questions asked, no hesitation. A fixer, a ghost, a necessary evil in a city that thrives on corruption and despair. He's become an instrument of violence, a blade wielded by unseen hands, but when a job leaves an innocent girl staring at him with pure terror in her eyes, something deep within him stirs. For the first time, he questions whether he can be anything more than a weapon for hire. Can the blood on his hands ever be washed away, or is he forever stained by the choices he's made? As crime tightens its vice grip on the city and a new wave of chaos surges, Cassius stands at a crossroads: remain the villain in this twisted narrative or fight for something greater than himself. But redemption comes with a heavy toll, and the path to heroism is littered with foes who won't let him slip away so easily. In a world where justice is nothing more than a fading memory and second chances are rare as gold, can a man molded by violence ever transform into a hero? Or will the darkness that has shaped his existence finally consume him, dragging him back into the abyss from which he emerged?

25. P O W E R : Lovers autorstwa AxisRogue

The Saved have been forced into hiding. And with their secret tunnels slowly becoming flooded with Xirixine soldiers and detectives, they are running out of real estate. Nevertheless, their eyes are still firmly fixed on their goal of purging the world from all "Sinners"... and their next targetis one of the highest on their list. It is not one person. Rather, it is a group; one known only as the "Lovers' Society", led by the mysterious Ulfert "Wildlove" Vill. By the command of the Apostle and Elders of the City District Temple, two Disciples are tasked with infiltrating the secret society and revealing its location to the Devourer so that she may exact the so-called "wrath of God" upon them. However, they go with a terrifying warning: should they fall prey to the ways of the Lovers, they shall inevitably suffer the same fate...
