Oxygen is the new currency. Those who have it, survive. Those who don't, die.

Following a cataclysmic event, which killed over 99% of the world's living organisms, life on Earth nothing more than a hopeless struggle to survive. The planet is dying and only a handful of cities around the world remain. Humanity is on the brink of extinction.

Living in a rundown part of town of a once hyper-connected city, recovering drug addict, Kade Casey is a rider for hire. With fleeting memories of better times, Kade clings to a sliver of hope that one day he and his sick mother will be safe.

Kade's main employer, a ruthless dictator who controls the city, has a new assignment for him - deliver a mysterious package of great value to a neighbouring city. The payment is ten times the amount of any previous job. A tempting offer, but Kade assesses the risks. Along the way are endless dangers from lawless bands of scavengers, environmental hazards, equipment failure, and overcoming physical limitations.

When Kade refuses the job, he is beaten and his mother's life is threatened. On the run, a bounty is placed on his head by a vengeful criminal mastermind, the whereabouts of a mysterious package may be the only thing keeping him alive.

126 parts Ongoing
In a distant realm where magic thrives, ferocious beasts shake mountains and rivers with their mighty roars, and individuals wield superhuman strength capable of reshaping their surroundings. It is a magical world where the strong rules. But rampant corruption and chaos exist, where slavery, rape, murder, and discrimination against the weak were all but common. The magically superior people trample over the lesser unfortunate folks, using them as stepping stones and disposable assets. All hope for these downtrodden souls seems lost, but the wheels of fate have other plans for them. In a faraway ocean, one that is filled with demons and sea monsters, a great technological civilization suddenly appeared, one that came from a world that is only filled with chaos and destruction. This civilization became the heaven for people seeking a stable and peaceful life. The Earth rose and seas parted ways, and the environment had totally changed for its adaptability. Unfortunately, the inhabitants of this great technological civilization are all but manaless, arriving in a world where they are seen as inferior and as slaves. How will they react of finding themselves in a world where people can split mountains or bend the fabric of space, and where beings exist that even conventional weapons cannot defeat? How will they survive against deadly monsters, magical beasts, and superhumans that could threaten entire nations? And how will the other powers that exist in this world react to a powerful, advanced nation filled with a race they deem inferior? This is the story of one of the most powerful empires on Earth, and how it broke the balance of power and rose to the top.
The Gathering: The New Order of Merlin Book 1 by Kamiccola
126 parts Complete
In a world of magic and myth, everybody's got a secret or two. An immortal sorcerer, Merlin, pretends to be a child to become Harry Potter's secret guardian. Magical twins, Jack and Elsa, fearful of their heartless mother, the Queen of Winter, pretend to be human and hide out at Hogwarts. An enchanted diary pretends to be little Ginny's secret best friend, manipulating her into the unthinkable. But harboring secrets comes with consequences. A monster unleashed upon Hogwarts is a minor inconvenience in the grand design of the gods. *** Welcome to The NOOM, the start of an epic multi-fandom series placed in the Wizarding World universe, expanded with themes from Gaelic mythology. We get up to mischief with Peeves and exact long-overdue karma on Snape. We get into Old Religion - the beliefs and the magic - expanded past Merlin canon. Get ready for fluff, drama, cheesy puns, and of course, winter magic. * Currently undergoing a massive revision. The numbered chapters have been edited already. * *OPEN FANFICTION (you don't have to have prior knowledge of the fandoms to enjoy it)* Fandoms: - Canon-compliant Harry Potter and BBC Merlin (Chamber of Secrets timeline with Ginny's point of view). - Only for the characters: Rise of the Guardians and Frozen (Jack and Elsa are twins!). Jack and Elsa's backstory will be revealed eventually, but if you'd like to read ahead, check out The Well of Youth (written from the villain's point of view). This book is about 250,000 words in total. Binge away. No trigger warnings. No mature content. Just magic. Lots of magic. *** Featured on @WattWitches profile. I do not own characters or plots from Harry Potter books or BBC Merlin or Rise of the Guardians or Frozen or the pictures in the banners (some of the artwork came from Pottermore - the previous official HP site). ;) Enjoy!
