What if you come across a box said to contain an immense and horrifying power? Would you open it? And how would you wield that power?

Ten years after the Third Tech Bubble, the Western world remains in shambles. For an ex-convict like Alberto, life after prison is an uphill battle. All that changes when a mysterious woman lures him into her hacker group. Wanting fame and romance, he readily throws himself back to the underworld. But nothing is what it seems, for his outlaw brothers have acquired the box and hope to summon its power. Torn between his ideals, Alberto must either stay loyal to the group or choose to defend the fallen and hated world.

The storm is coming, and only those with unwavering beliefs will remain standing.

"I enjoyed the characters and the uniqueness of the story. It was well written and easy to follow, I'd recommend this to anyone who is looking for a short read that is a bit deeper than most short stories." -1Romantic_Fanatic

Calathea || MxM by _reichii

For what reason does one wake up every day? People had always thought the life of ISAAC RUIZ couldn't be more perfect. Everything he wanted, he would get with his money and influence. What anyone didn't know was his real motivation to keep on living -- something that was silly for others, but a salvation for him. For office employee FLORENCE VILLENA, there was no longer any meaning to his existence. Nothing could fill the void he had been experiencing inside him anymore, and he was convinced the world was better off without him in it. At twenty-eight years old, LAURENCE VILLEGAS had a lot of reasons to wish to just sleep forever. Since losing his home and family, the universe had rarely been kind to him. And yet, he chose to survive, time and again, if only for the hope of seeing his life get a little better. On Friday the thirteenth of January 2023, fates began to entangle as Laurence died, Florence killed himself, and Isaac lost his reason to live. Nine months after the incidents, a new dawn fell upon those three lives when a dead man's soul reawakened in someone else's body. Set in a fictional Asian City called Perlientas. Mature topics: deaths, including suicide (actual scene not depicted), mental health and other social issues, character thoughts that some may find disturbing or triggering, few sexual chapters later in the story Despite those themes, the overall story's pretty tamed.

Post Plague Kidnapping - Published! by vblawnola

It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice. Warning: Contains sex, some violence, occasional foul language, and adult issues. Genre: Science Fiction, Romance, Post-apocalyptic, Dark romance Length: 84,468 words This book has been published on Amazon. The first ten chapters will be updated to what you get in the published novel and will remain here, so you can try before you buy.

Legacy by GranCapitanPerez

Defeated again and again, the Frostbourne are forced to play a bad hand, and are continuously routed by Herobrine's massive Undead Armies, though the discovery of a small-time Chieftain out in the rural stretches of Frostbourne territory threatens that balance severely. The watch is ticking, and everyone scrambles to their side to begin the fight. It will be a most certainly long - and disastrously bloody - conflict, threatening the very core of human civilization. As everyone at the table reveals their hand at once, the time grows increasingly against them, shaking the very core of the principles that will define their legacy for years to come. Nothing is right. New factions. New leaders. More blood. More death. It won't stop until someone has everybody else's head on a pike. Who can you trust? The fear surrounds you. It eats you alive. Legacy is a 2021 writing project started by SrpskiSpecijalista, and finished by CapitanPerez. I am always looking for ideas and things you guys want implemented, so if you do just suggest it in the Conversations tab or the chapter comment section and I'll make sure to read it over. This story takes place in an alternate reality, where things have happened differently and many characters are still alive. Thank you for your patience! Make sure to read "Legacy: Annihilation" if you liked this one! It's the second book in the series and takes the story further, so I suggest you read that one! Thanks! Legacy: https://www.wattpad.com/story/314220227-legacy-annihilation All but a few of the characters belong to Rainimator, including all of the ones on the cover art. I only own the storyline and the story itself.
