Runaway Gods by francescopianfetti

Get out of the way, heroes and heroines: it's the losers' turn to save the world! Agatha is an ill-tempered boarding school student inside whose mind a secret has been implanted by the secretive Order of Remembrance; Tristan is a clumsy dreamer looking for his occasion to perform heroic deeds. Keeping fugitive Agatha safe for a single night seems Tristan's great occasion, but he doesn't know he's going to get way more than he bargained for. For nineteen centuries, the ancient machines called Faraway Bridges have connected the Lands Beyond, the remote places where mankind dwells, but now the Bridges are dying and crossing them is almost lethal. Hiding in fortified abbeys, the Libraries, the Order of Remembrance has the mission of finding a way to heal the Bridges before they become impassable, but the Awakening League wants to seize control of the Bridges for its own plans of conquest, and is storming the Libraries one by one to steal the Order's knowledge. Caught in the crossfire of the centuries-long war between the Order of Remembrance and the Awakening League, chased by monsters and machines across lands and skies, Tristan and Agatha embark on a quest to unveil the secret inside Agatha's mind, and end up realizing that Agatha is the key to an ancient power that can heal their dying world.

A Story of Cinders: From the Ashes by cptjand

For freedom, justice, and a little bit of revenge. After decades of war and conflict, the Old World was burned to the ground, so another one could rise and take its place. All that remains of the life before are cinders, embers, and ashes, and they won't be snuffed out so easily. Seven years after the Day of Fire, a mysterious hooded man known only as Nox has set out on a mission to find and kill Czar Abram Karlov-- the man who dropped the bombs-- and bring his regime to its knees. Joining him on his journey are some of the wasteland's finest: the mad Irishman and mayor of the largest city in the Southwest, the Saint; the giant, psychotic bandit, the Brawler; the illustrious, mysterious assassin known as the Red Woman; the notorious bounty hunter, the Gray Wolf; and the former Army Ranger, and decorated sniper, Sergeant John Reed. It won't be easy, but if anyone can pull this off, it's them. But with the added threats of bandits, political strife, and their own internal problems threatening to tear the team apart, have they bit off more than they can chew?

A Stand Worth Taking by Wysatine

"Hopkins, your courage and willingness to fight is admirable, but in the current moment, it borders on idiocy." "Captain Rhodes," Hopkins began. "I speak to you not with impertinence or lack of respect. No, I speak to you with a heart of passion, an undying love for my kingdom, a people for which I would give my life without a moment's hesitation." Hopkins turned to face his fellow soldiers. "If we surrender here, who's to say we won't be dooming ourselves further down the road of conflict? Who's to say that this isn't the battle that could turn the tide of war?" ---------------------------- Captain Rhodes and his passionate, but also inexperienced, band of men have been stationed at a vital fort posted at the Southern border, safe from the conflict that rages up North. Or so they thought. When a scout returns from his rounds bearing grave news, the defense of the fort is left to Rhodes and his men. Loyalties are questioned, supplies run low, and reinforcements are still days away, that is, if reinforcements are even coming.

Black Feather | The Dawn of the Imperial War by mulakata

"I may be heartless with all those names that are piled up underneath mine, but I shall never disregard one who takes my name as their own." Bloodshed, war, none a melody to anyone's ears but the Grand Duke of Ravenmour. A man of military prowess, known to have slain three ogres the height of his manors tallest tower in his early youth. Valery Lunaire was the son of a General who served the Royal Family for years, and when he saved the young prince from his almost-death in the midst of an impending war, served in the war, and won alongside the Ravenmour army, Valery was raised to the rank he now holds with pride. But when he ravages and raids a land due to the King's order to claim land by force, what was once a heartless man's goal becomes a plight, and what was once encased in a thick enclosure of coldness, had been thawed out the moment the truth was revealed to him. The very reason why he did not perish in that forsaken encounter during the raid, and the very reason why even a man who has claimed the lives of many, could be devoted to a single one. Blade to draw out blood, blood to draw out blades, nonetheless, what could two hearts at war do?
