Being snatched into the Tiding Pool - a whimsical nexus that steals away fragments of worlds like a child plucking icing from a cake - was the best thing that happened to Desmond, a curious young man with a secret love for science. There was no life for him back home, no future. Here in the Pool he can learn and explore, meet creatures from realms he had only ever imagined, and tinker with their amazing gadgets. It's a dream come true.

Except that none of it is real.

It is a piecemeal work of fiction, woven from the discarded concepts of worlds that were never penned into stories of their own. Desmond knows he is nothing more than a character, mere ink on a page. So is his ill-tempered brother, recently trapped in the Pool as well. As is the dictatorial ruler of the Tiding Pool, the New World Order, and its spell-firing enforcers.

But then there are the Augurs, smug prophets of the Order who refuse to be content with simply reading the future of this story being told. They conspire to write it as well. Should they discover a way to wrest control of the Tiding Pool from its mysterious Author, their first step towards transforming it into their own private paradise will be to erase everyone who opposes them from the plot.

How do you thwart an enemy who might one day scratch you from existence? All Desmond has on his side is a knapsack full of broken electronics, an irascible smuggler, some space monks... and the Author, a devious entity who helps and hinders him as the story demands.All Rights Reserved

Multiversal Collision: A FavreMySabre FanFic by Draglyn

Sabre... no. Elan always knew about the multiple worlds that were being created because of the videos he posted. Whether it was an alteration of the worlds he created or even new ones that had a basis similar to his, it didn't matter. The man knew that this was just what came with the fact of being a famous YouTuber. You create something that people like, you are more likely to spark someone's imagination into creating their own worlds. That's just how things are. At least the stories were only imaginary... That is, at least, what everyone thinks. The truth is that we reside in a world blocked from the realities and universes around us. Called the "Sealed Reality," our small world is cut off from everything else, but not for no reason. You see, those that live within have the potential to create chaos and destruction, but also the equal opportunity to create worlds. REAL worlds. That is why no one can enter or escape. However, our reality has one flaw. Anything, ANYTHING, that you imagine here will become a reality outside of it's bounds. Anything that you did or had happened in those became true. If you left that world or simply deleted it, however, it would no longer be under your influence. It would be sent to a cast-off area at the edge of the Multiverse. With that being said, the worlds Elan had created were truly real. The only thing was he didn't know that. Neither did all his fans that created their own versions of his realities. Soon, though, Elan would know the truth... alongside some of the best fan-fiction writers and YouTubers known across the globe.

The Contract by MyWeekendIs_Booked

Something didn't feel right. I looked around my room slowly; cautiously; taking everything in and trying not to feel too nervous. Perhaps Lure was in my room right now, watching me, silently laughing to himself. I didn't doubt it. I slipped off my bed and walked around, hugging my waist, and tilted my head. I felt my rough ponytail slide against the back of my neck and over my shoulder as I moved. "Lure?" I hissed, "Lure, are you there?" I wandered around a little, for some reason feeling scared. But why? It was only Lure. He wouldn't hurt me, would he? "Okay, Lure. Quit it. I know it's you. Who else would it-" I stopped, startled, when I heard a strange sound that made me cringe. It was like fingernails being dragged across a chalkboard. I whipped around and came face-to-face with my mirror. Immediately, I saw the difference. Various scratches were displayed across the glass, forming words. It looked as if claws had written the words in the mirror. "Deepest apologies, but it was fun." (All credit goes to my sister, who wrote this when she was in the twelfth grade)

Darling In The Stranxx || 016 x 002 || by ShitsAndOrGiggles

|| You probably think it was a typo in the title, but I meant to put that there for a reason || Read to find out ;) ____________________________________________________ A normal planet with a modern society, that is until 50,000 years ago, a strange meteorite crashed upon Earth and leaked its metallic liquid. The man who discovered it decided to make the metallic liquid into arrows. He then buried them underneath his homeland and in the year 2000, it was eventually discovered and monstrous beings called "Klaxosaurs" begin appearing. The arrows were a sign of hope as when exposed to the air, it chose which people to grant powers from. A visual manifestation of life energy to the user. Ordinary people cannot see it, but people who were granted with these powers can see it. It could not be harm by ordinary things, only other special people can hurt it. This was known as a Stranxx, and people who were granted these powers used it to kill the infestation of Klaxosaur. Some used it for good, some used it for bad but they didn't know that there would be a school just to train your Stranxx and fight Klaxosaurs. Thus we focus on our main protagonist, Hiro. He is Stranxxless but he has a dream, and that dream is to be known as the #1 Hero that destroys Klaxosaurs in one swoop. So he thinks that the program will help him fight the Klaxosaurs. Who knows what will happen.

THE EPIC CONQUEST (Eng Ver.) by RusdiAlim

EPIC CONQUEST THE NOVEL tells about an event that happened hundreds of years ago there was a crack in the sky. The rift seemed to be a dimensional gate that combined this world with the demonic world. Because of that, thousands of demons have entered the human realm and mercilessly killed anything in their sight. When the Dasyhat war happened, the world made a truce and joined hands to defeat the devil's army. For the first time in history, mankind united under the banner of the Alliance. Even though decades have passed, the war between humans and demons still shows no signs of ending. Although the dimensional gates are no more, their existence seems endless due to rapid reproduction. Because of that too, the hybridization of humans and demons is inevitable. These hybrids look like normal humans but, with demonic blood flowing through their bodies cause them to have extraordinary magical powers. Their behavior is the same as normal humans. However, if their hearts are enveloped in darkness, they will turn into complete demons. Since then, magical powers were born and the royal side of the Alliance saw this group as a threat to humanity and called them witches. In order to overcome the extinction of humanity, the leadership of the Alliance created the order of the Witch Hunt to find and kill every witch no matter what they look like. Due to the order, witches rebelled to protect themselves and their loved ones until a civil war broke out. Due to the war, many lives were lost and many witches were enveloped in darkness and turned into demons. Since that day, the human race has suffered greatly. The Alliance and wizards alike consider them a threat. The hatred and revenge between them still remains to this day. With so many chains of hatred, can all humans be reunited? Can the world once again be free from chaos?
