Hyrna Mal'vai wants out.

A descendant of the militarily royal Mal'vai Clan, Hyrna and her mother suffer under the rule of her cowardly grandfather, Hawe. In desperate need of an escape, Hyrna runs away from her planet - only to find herself in an abandoned world covered in water.

As Hyrna explores this strange new world, she uncovers the remnants of a dying civilization with a connection to her home planet, a civilization which warns of a coming galactic invasion. Trapped between her own desire for freedom and the needs of her people, Hyrna must learn to rise above the chaos and face the music. But in a galaxy where the tides of war are shifting, some things can't be left hidden, and one secret might be the difference between life and death.

To the Shattered | A Villain Deku au by Cuteplosion_Xo

A golden heart turned to a black shattered mess. The dream of being a hero torn down until there was nothing left. The world is often a cruel place when you're born into the darkness. When you grow up "quirkless" and the world is put against you... it's natural to be led astray, into the darkness. At least it seemed so effortless for Midoriya Izuku, the Green Rabitt. If you recognize the plot a bit, no you don't... (In all seriousness, if you do, it's likely you read the original, I unpolished it ages ago. Would have been Shatter me) While this is a V.Deku story, it follows a Dad for one AU (All For One = Hisashi Midoriya au) This fic is planned as shipless, though you are free to see certain relationships as you please. I would prefer no ship wars take place. warnings- abuse and bullying- suicidal thoughts- gore- I can be VERY descriptive so please pay that mind.

Awakening - The Last Science #1 by Etzoli

No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series. New chapters will be posted on Fridays for as long as it takes to tell the whole story.

My Kingdom Come Book 1: The Saints We See (Complete) by ShadOLeerie

Do your genes, your parents, teachers, or your master determine who you will be in life? Can they set your value in the universe? 650 years ago the known species of the universe came together and signed the Alliance, a document that would help each race find its place in the universe. It granted freedom to some and the scant protection of slavery to others. Into this society a handful of children are born who will change it forever, if they can survive to adulthood. Here is the origin story of two of those children. Hathu is born to a man determined to make the universe bow to him and his species. Since he learned to talk, Hathu has been a disappointment to his father. He doesn't want to become a warrior, and he refuses to assert his dominance. When he accidentally overhears his father plotting against the Ir'Klahn empire, can Hathu stop him? Mik is born with no rights, destined to become a lifelong slave. His mother tries to protect him from this fate by running away and finding a home for them on a trading ship that travels from world to world. They are safe for now, but how long can they hide from the best trackers in the universe? This is the first book in the My Kingdom Come series. Updates every Tuesday. :) My 2021 Nanowrimo so please excuse the unedited condition of the story. Be warned: there is violence, rape, murder, abuse, self harm and suicidal thoughts in this story. I do not post trigger warnings.

Stealth Journeys with the Steam Mapper by steammapperjourneys

A 2019 Wattys entry deeply into climate change, global warming, and environmental destruction, especially the nuclear kind! A lot of true facts are embedded in this story which has both true and fictional characters. Who is to be believed is for you to decide. The chapters are many but many are short. Still, it is a full-sized novel with promise for future adventures. Plot: An international crew of scientists board a large state-of -the art oceanographic vessel privately funded by an anonymous source. The itinerary is to travel down the west coast of the Americas and travel the South Pacific to Antarctica. The team plans to visit many known sites of hydrothermal vents using a device called the MAPR, searching vents for a bacterium that seems promising in use as a way to fight carbon dioxide emissions. But one of the two junior scientists on the team soon realizes that secrets are being kept, and makes promises to keep some, while learning that some onboard have entirely different agendas. To complicate matters, this junior scientist's desire for a special friendship grows in intensity, just as mysterious murmurings and strange sightings intensify. And then, the ship experiences a sequence of events that will draw world attention and leave all of us with more questions than answers. "If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water."

LEGACY CHILD by jan_claremont

Abriel Brighton exists solely to give birth to genetically perfect children-a role she has no interest in fulfilling. Created by the scientists who originally settled on and colonized a dead planet with the intention of terraforming it, she belongs to a breed of genetically altered humans designed to safe-guard humanity's DNA. Living in a protected underground society called Urbine's Crescent, she and others like her are to be retrieved once the surface is ready for habitation. However, they've been waiting a long time. Long enough that the idea of the surface world has faded into legend. When Abriel's father is murdered, she finds herself thrust into a conflict where all motives are suspect. As a scout and pair-bonded with a telepathic dog-like animal that's native to the planet, she struggles to determine the responsible party. Instead, violence escalates to the point where law becomes meaningless and she's stripped of all power. Worse, Abriel discovers the Crescent leadership is systematically destroying the only home she's ever known and her enemies are probably her only allies. When a stranger named Porter arrives, claiming to be from the surface and delivering the message that the planet is terraformed and ready to support human life, she has no choice but to believe him. Without his help, the Crescent won't survive. But with it, they just might be able to remake their entire world.

Endless Tales From Everlost Forest by EyeKunSye

A descendant forcibly obtains a power beyond his control and breaks away from his family. He flees to another galaxy in hopes of living a new life, but trouble awaits him and he soons finds himself pitted against some others with mythical powers as well. They all oppose each other and rival for what they desire. It's life or death in this new world. Somehow there are still more mysteries to solve. What stories do each of them have to tell? Can they make peace or will there only be one standing? What are you waiting for, reader? Book 3 of 3 Cover Version 3.1 ( @pastelchromist ) Title changed. Previously included "MLP: " This is a My Little Pony fanfiction. This is supposedly the endless series of TFEF (Tales From Everlost Forest). This story will mainly focus on one of the descendants of Laser Strafe at the start: Sole "Vehemence" Pitch. After the main story arcs are placed, there will be different stories (side/backstory) whether they're relevant or not. Characters and events still in work as publishing. Parts of the story may be rewritten to improve quality and a sudden change of character info/idea. About 5 arcs planned (excluding the "intro arc"). 10 chapters an arc with 2k words as the minimum goal for each chapter. Goal may not be met realistically, so hoping the total amount of words from each chapter reaches the arc goal (20k). Unfortunately, there will be no PG edition for this book. Whoever young wants to read it will have to grow up.
