Cursed
"She is a weapon, a killer. Don't forget it. You can use a spear as a walking stick but that will not change its purpose." **************** PART ONE: In a world where fire is both a gift and a curse, Elara Thatcher struggles to escape from her friends, who really just wanted to kill her. When unplanned surprise changed their plans and forced two teenagers to become parents, everything shifted. Complications with the pregnancy and Elara's modified DNA make the pregnancy almost impossible to survive. PART TWO: When war sparks, Elara finds out she was the main cause of the war and hides away while they slowly tear the Earth apart. They were heavily outnumbered, with more people fighting against her than for her. PART THREE: As expected, one of her daughters inherited a sickness from inside her, she desperately searched for a cure.

Without knowing it, she had been carrying the curse her whole life. A new prophecy was shown to Elara through a vision. She was going to destroy the Earth one day. PART FOUR: Years later, her daughters were 6 years old. Elara's kids still talk to their dad, dead for a year. But a shocking truth about Jay's presence will force Elara to realize the impossible.

IF YOU WISH TO READ THIS STORY IN ITS ORIGINAL, SAFE FORM, PLEASE GO TO WATTPAD * Unlike others around her, Arisa Lee was special. She was different, a child of darkness shunned by society because of her special ability, her power of alchemy. She chose a life of isolation when she grew because of that, and for a job that needed her to keep her identity and very existence a secret. And she loved it. A moment of recklessness and a dangerous mistake turns her life upside down though, throwing her into a world where alchemy is nothing uncommon. She is quickly surrounded by things she never expected to have existed - State Alchemists, Homunculi and the Philosopher Stone - though is quick to adapt and begin her journey to look for a way back home. While she meets many she comes to care for on her journey, she also meets with trouble, especially from a sadistic Homunculus who cannot leave her alone for more reasons than one. It is a test of time, emotions, bonds and secrets that Arisa must face on her journey, to protect those she wants to protect and achieve what she wants to achieve. But perhaps there is much more at stake and to be considered during her search for a way home - secrets, revelations, wishes and perhaps even love. ~~~~~~~~~~ Fullmetal Alchemist and all its franchise (C) Hiromu Arakawa KDrama Healer and all its franchise (C) Song Ji-Na OC and creative plot (C) Midnight_LilacComplete

Against the System
[!] MUST READ [!] --- In a land where everyone is born with magic, one boy has none. Kaelen Verenth, fourteen. He keeps his head down and trusts the path laid out for him, until the day he steps beyond his door and finds a realm of blades, scholars, and whispering circles who all serve a pattern they can't name. Roads feel rehearsed. Encounters click into place. The world moves as if someone is turning a page he hasn't seen. There is a mind behind the curtain. Everywhere and nowhere. It bends truth in small ways at first, a shadow that moves after its owner, then in ways no one can ignore. He isn't meant to notice. He isn't meant to ask. Yet he does. When the Loom trembles and the rules begin to slip, the only child without a spark may be the only one who can pull the right thread. "Reality isn't real, cults worship glitches, people vanish either willingly or unwillingly. The System is not your ally." --- What to Expect: ▰ Skill, tech, magic. ▰ Morally complex protagonists. ▰ Slowburn Worldbuilding following character growth. ▰ Typical fantasy elements. --- Updates weekly. --- [!] Original work, do not distribute.

The Book of Trials || ONC 2019
When Veia Phelde is cursed, she hardly expects the ruin it will invoke, but will breaking the curse come at a cost more than its worth in blood? +++ Veia Phelde had been satisfied with her life in her small cottage in the woods, never bothering anyone save for her job as a blacksmith's apprentice. But when she loses her job, Veia is forced out of her comfort zone only to run into a simple book that means so much more than she wants it to. With blank white pages and a title carved by knife, the single word that scars the leather can only be the work of fate, and the danger it contains... well, let's just say that's fate, too. When a devilishly handsome traveler offers to take her to the City of Magic to break the curse, Veia finds herself hopelessly entangled in a danger more powerful than she could ever know. +++ ~ Featured Wattpad Picks: Hidden Gem (May 2020) ~ @StoriesUndiscovered Diamond list (2019) ~ 2nd place in action/adventure, Coral Awards 2021 ~ 2nd place in action/adventure, The Pantheon Awards 2020 ~ 3rd place in adventure, The Blue Rose Awards, August 2019 ~ Written for the Open Novella Contest 2019, gen fic open prompt (since expanded; 45k word count) ~ Also available on Inkitt, Prose, Sweek, and Quotev (but Wattpad has the best version) ;) Beautiful cover by @TheFashionPixieComplete
Bound by Fire
Rating: 18+/New Adult Primary Genre: Dark Romantasy / Psychological Thriller with Epic Fantasy Elements Subgenres/Elements: Character-Driven, Found Family, Psychological Manipulation, Dark Romance, Love Triangle, Elemental Magic, Elite Military Academy, Coming-of-Age, Trauma & Healing Reader discretion is strongly advised. This book explores the blurred lines between love and obsession, protection and control, redemption and corruption. The ending sets up significant psychological conflict that challenges traditional romance dynamics. Synopsis: Fire doesn't ask for permission, it consumes. Celeste never asked to be extraordinary. When fire wakes beneath her skin and destroys everything she's ever known, she's taken from the quiet streets of Lahbell to the Southern Condinian Elite Academy-a fortress built to shape elemental soldiers from the ashes of fear. Inside its steel walls, rules are absolute, emotions are weaknesses, and failure is erased. But Celeste doesn't burn quietly. Between secret missions, rivalries, and whispered betrayals, she begins to uncover the truth behind Condinia's power, and the reason her own flames refuse to obey. Then there's Andrew: the soldier forged from fire and control. And Mark: the kinetic fighter who meets chaos with a grin. Both draw her in for reasons she can't name, and both force her to decide what her power is truly for-destruction, or protection. As darkness rises beyond the borders and loyalty fractures within, Celeste must confront the thing she fears most: that the fire inside her was never meant to be contained. Bound by Fire is a cinematic romantasy about survival, trust, and the bonds that are tested in war-where found family burns brightest in the shadows. Content Warnings: Graphic combat, PTSD, grief, military violence, and slow-burn romantic tension. Reader discretion is advised.

Summer of Death || [COMPLETED]
In a city that never loved him, a broken soul searches for meaning in pills, lies, and petty crime. He needed money. He needed a way out. What he didn't need was to get stuck in a haunted bookstore with nothing but a relic of a book and the ghosts in his head. Diagnosed with ADHD and abandoned by trust, he's long since learned to trick, steal, and survive. But as hallucinations twist reality and memories return, he's forced to confront the pain he's run from. A ghost from his past urges him to change-but change doesn't come easy. After days trapped in madness, the door opens. He's free... but not unchanged. Hallucinations become memories, and a visit from a long-lost friend pushes him toward something unfamiliar: hope. When the lock finally breaks, he's still chaotic, still rough-but a sliver of warmth begins to grow, especially toward the brother he swore he didn't care for. --------------------------------------------------------------- !!

CLOUD NINE
A budding writer with a bunch of ingenious rebels risk their lives to try and overthrow an oppressive government to earn back their liberty of expression. They need to unify and put aside their differences, interests and pasts, and race against time to snatch back their rights to express freely in the kingdom of clouds. |Wattpad India Awards 2020 Winner| ************ What if there was no freedom of speech and expression in your world? What if every writing, every art and all pieces of creation were censored with an iron hand? The defectors disappear without a trace, the free press is gagged and suffocating and the government had no opposition whatsoever. Set in a world of trust and betrayal, CLOUD NINE is a 'fluffy' tale of darkness. After the long drawn World War 3, people are shifting to the Cloud Kingdom of Audra to escape from the radiations in the atmosphere. Alizeh is looking forward to her stay on 'Cloud Nine'. But what she finds there beggars description. Will Alizeh be able to live there, or will she sacrifice her passion for a chance at a better life?
