Expanded Horizons: Beyond the Blue by ThetaObelusGamma

The world consists of far more than a few people, and far more than just what you see of them now. All characters have a past, a story, some piece of themselves hidden by time that makes clear who they are today. These hidden aspects can be revealed by more than just their stories, too; sometimes, what happens off-screen is even more important than what's on display. Follow me through the world our heroes and villains inhabit and see just how far we can go together! -This is all backstory and world-building for the Freelands of Into That Wild Blue Yonder (https://www.wattpad.com/story/214070883-into-that-wild-blue-yonder). Just around 50K words. -I also wrote up a brief encyclopedia with general world info here (https://www.wattpad.com/story/216689041-a-brief-encyclopedia-of-the-reimagined-world).

From Geneology to war - A compendium of Greek Mythology by AsterSxh368

A helpful guide to Greek mythology including the primordials, titans, gods, goddesses, monsters, heroes and more! Things to note about this story is that since I'm writing about real historical mythology, there is of course many, many, different variations, retellings and plots in existence for each one of the myths so I will do my best to comment on and add in variations when necessary, though in some cases I may just stick with the most common, my favorite or the most historically accurate depictions! "If this is just the original myths can't I just go on Theoi?" Well I try to recount all of the myths in an accurate but easy to understand way, which is quite difficult other places, though if you have any questions about anything, please just ask!!

Supernatural's by WALEXO_OXELAW

WALEXO_OXELAW Original In an ancient world, there lived many creatures whom the inhabitants thought of as otherworldly Deities. Due to the vast amount of said creatures, many religions & cults sprung up across this world in worship of them, however no one religion was the same, which caused conflict to spread among the people. Overtime, they soon began to forget about these strange beings as their civilizations advanced, and their existence was turned to mere myth as these once revered creatures were forced into hiding to preserve themselves. That was until 7 descendants of these mystical creatures each embark on a journey to the Mythic World after learning of their magical bloodline, in a place just below the earth's surface, known as Center Earth, and meet up as if by fate to face the beautiful wonders and perilous dangers of the place they'd only ever heard of in myth & legend.

The Fake Smile He Wears by PotatoNoLife

No Ships! i do be cringing at this very hard but I'll keep it up for y'all. note that the quality is very questionable and like most people i've reflected on the cringiness <3 The Ancients saw many of their children and grandchildren suffering alone, no one noticing the other's pain. The fake mask, the 'happy' countries wore. The secrets they all hid. The Ancients couldn't let this just happen, they came up with a plan. America was the unfortunate victim and test subject. America is the happy, joyful, always smiling, and loud country, but what if everything they know about him is a lie? A mask no one could see through. The mask no one tried to look through. There was a lot they didn't know about him. A lot he hid from them. A lot he kept inside his cracking heart. Secrets will be spilled, and skeletons will come out of the closet. Feelings kept inside for so long, will come out. The sides of America they never knew of will come out today. The mask will come off today. The mask that's been worn for so long. Will he be saved? What happened to America? Who is America really? How many lies have been told? How many hearts will be broken? Did they ever know America at all? How many friendships will be built, and how many destroyed? How long has America deceived them all? How will they see America now? Will America come out of this better or worse? Was doing all of this right? Only time will tell. WARNING⚠️⚠️⚠️: Mentions of suicide, eating disorders, self harm, other mental disorders, and depression. If you are suffering from any of these things please get help. I know someone out there cares for you, if you can't find someone who cares for you, I do, so please get help. Don't ever do any of this stuff. If you don't like this stuff or if it bothers you please don't read it, if not continue, you have been warned. Some stuff may be really inaccurate and I don't mean to offend anyone. Best rank Alfred Jones #1 Cover picture isn't mine, please don't sUe mE

THE RISE OF THE VETERES by Oronno123

**I'll try to publish a chapter monthly, but colleges and horrendous professors keep me occupied. Also, don't read this on webnovel - that's where I make edits to the story after reading it like a reader - so what I write there will not be a part of the story. Some people say the Greek gods were myths, but they're indeed real. Their children grow up to be heroes, some even becoming famous in the mortal world. However, if the gods exist, then so do the monsters and all those ancient beings from eons ago. One of them, a Titan, is eager to strike rise from the depths of Tartarus and get his revenge on the gods. This Titan's son, Yiannis, a fourteen-year-old boy, is just as dissatisfied with the gods. He agrees to help his father overthrow the Titans and help him ascend to become King of Olympus and the world. However, Yiannis learns something incredible along the way - a hidden ecosystem of hidden monsters deep in the Earth who worship a pantheon of gods that predated the Greeks - just who are they?

Stars of Freedom by AstraeaSOF

"To tell you a story, you'd need to know how different things were back then. The world was filled with creatures who could destroy us at any moment. Some people even managed to control them, not that they stood a chance. Anyways, there were also gods and goddesses who sometimes watched over us-not all of them were good people, keep in mind. With that out of the way, let's begin..." • Volume 1 | Phoenix | Chapters 1 - 24 A world full of monsters from every mythology and people who can summon weapons to defeat them at will. A few groups of special people abruptly unite to fight a threat that has watched them for some time. • Volume 2 | Nexus | Chapters 25 - 75 Though nine years pass, some people never really forgot that day. After all that happened so suddenly, a few people remain. Bound together by the strings of life, a new enemy appears to disrupt their lives. • Volume 3 | Freedom | Chapter 76 - 140 Bound together, the group wants nothing more than to return to normal lives after such a crazy journey. Will they finally reach a happy ending? Or will someone else tell their story for them?
