After Drew Ellis' mother died, he was left grieving and broken. With nowhere else to go, he enlisted in Antelae's army. His squad mates - his battle-forged family - helped him piece himself back together. However, when his legion is attacked by rebels while on assignment and his squad mates are killed in a blast, Drew is left alone once more. Finding it easier to assume the role of a soldier, Drew becomes a member of the castle guard and is dispatched on an assignment of utmost importance to Gerad of Anemoia.

As the depth of Gerad's ambition becomes clear and as rebel backlash against Gerad's tyranny grows, Drew must decide who he wants to be: a hero? Or a villain.

Down Under by AmyMarieZ

|WATTYS 2022 WINNER - HORROR| Shawn, a convicted criminal, never thought she'd see the sun again, let alone call another star system her home. When she's offered an out from her prison sentence, she embarks on a dangerous interstellar expedition along with 18 of Earth's most intelligent criminals. Their task is to set up a base on a supposedly habitable planet and prepare it for colonization. Although the planet has liquid water and a breathable atmosphere, it is believed to host only microbial life. However, upon arriving, Shawn and the rest of the colonists learn that assumption was grossly incorrect. In a brutal attack from rampaging wildlife, everyone but Shawn and four other colonists are killed. The five survivors retreat to the cavernous network beneath the ground seeking safety, but they soon come to a terrible discovery. These caves aren't ordinary caves, and they are no safer down under than they were on the surface. [][][] This was originally my entry for the 2021 Open Novella Contest, and it received an honorable mention! It has now been expanded into a full length novel.

DudePow by UneFilleUnPeuRandom

Our story begins on a autumn morning in Megadale, where the absence of DudePow, the city's famed hero, has left a noticeable void. With crime on the rise, the city is in need of a savior. Meanwhile, Gal Monroe and her family settle into their new home, once belonging to her late great uncle, Angus. As her and her twin brother Kelli explore the basement, they stumble upon a surprising secret: Angus Monroe was none other than the incredible superhero, DudePow. Intrigued by this revelation, Gal tries on Angus's ring, hoping to uncover its powers. To her surprise, she finds herself engulfed in a blue aura, inheriting the abilities of DudePow. Now "cursed" with unexpected strength, Gal must navigate her newfound powers while living in a world dominated by men, determined to carry on her great uncle's legacy and bring justice to Megadale. hi! little explanation here: this is an adaptation of one of my favorite fever dream memory: Shezow! i wrote the story but with a new perspective, Gal's point of view. i always thought about her as i watched the original show: what does she likes? how is she? what are her weaknesses? is she confident? (absolutely not!) and i seriously had a reflexion and a whole analysis over a character that doesn't even have two episode in the original show!!!! IM THAT OBSESSED! So be ready to enter the world of a 14 yo girl dealing with all the problems of her kind. Enjoy :) My story was inspired by the original show (Duh!), but but also inspired by other writers: EugeneMinev on Deviantart and HalfandHalfStoriesAndStuff on ao3 :) I helped myself with the universe of KickAss and ScottPilgrim because I always thought Shezow would suit these universes. Disclaimer: English isn't my first language so excuse me if i make mistakes ^^'

Last Chance by AliasToBi

Being constantly compared to ones brother can make one feel neglected. This is the case for Kai Walker. His brother was the star of the schools soccer team as well as the star of the basketball team. Everyone adored him and held him on a very high pedestal. This includes his own parents. For all of his sixteen years he has been constantly compared to his brother whether at home or at school. The most common phrase he hears is, 'Why can't you be more like your brother?' He made it through the years due to his only friend. A female childhood friend of both his and his brother, Amy Halland. But one sentence from her has sent Kai over the edge. The phrase he never thought he would hear from her. Yet it happened. Without hope he gives up, right after the sentence he decides to end his existence. He jumps from the school's roof ignoring the shouts from Amy. Yet it still didn't work. He wakes to found himself in a land unknown to him. A land full of magic, knights, and hero's. Unknowing that his current body is in hospital in a coma. His conscience, thanks to the famous Tranvent Corp gaming company, now resides within a new virtual reality game that they have created, Guild Stronghold. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Highest: #11 in Adventure (11/07/2017) #13 in Adventure (09/07/2017) #14 in Adventure (03/07/2017)

The Return of the Gods (Children of the Sun Book 1) by dragonthusiast

[2023 Wattys Shortlist, 2023 Amby Awards winner, Featured 4 times in Wattpad Picks lists] Kaleth has worked as an agent of Luxarx for years. What the average person might see as an exciting, dangerous job has become the routine, and the only thing that fazes Kaleth now is that his habit of wearing suits everywhere is somehow still a thing his teammates tease him over. But that's all about to change. An encounter with one unexpectedly peaceful (and cute) terrorist soldier brings everything he thought he knew into question. If not all Umbra are dangerous criminals, what else does Luxarx get wrong? As he investigates, Kaleth stumbles onto a conspiracy that doesn't just concern the agency, but also his government, and the whole world. There are monsters hiding in plain sight, secretly in charge of everything since the very beginning - the long-forgotten dragon-gods with supernatural abilities. And they are definitely not as mythological as everyone thought. Now branded traitors, can Kaleth and his team fight back against the government they once served, and stop a world war before it can start? --------------------------- [word count: ≈ 90 000 words] • Book 1 - The Return of the Gods • Book 2 - The Return to Irithara • Book 3 - The Return of the Lifebringer • Book 4 - The Aperios [Featured in Wattpad Picks lists: 'Extraordinary Realms ✨' in December 2023, 'Reading Radar' in January 2024, 'Celebrating Wattpad Hits' in February 2024, and Valiant Heroes 🏰✨🏔 in June 2024, and also on the @fantasy profile]

The Mahani Wolves by AprilJester

When no good deed goes unpunished... Created by the Moon Goddess to protect her wolves from predators and those in power, the magical Mahani wolves should live idyllic lives, but reality is cruel. In the aggressive world of werewolves, anyone who interferes with the power of a pack (or the humans) will receive a punishment far greater than the crime--even if that entity is helping others. In return for this help, the werewolves and humans hunt, torture, and kill the Mahani, stealing their children--the list of abuse continues. However, nothing can stop these wolves from helping those who need them. So what happens when the tribe protecting Europe realizes the Moon Goddess has several of their fates intertwined within a wolf pack? Will the abuse override the matebond, or will this pack be able to handle the power and stigma that comes with being mated to a Mahani wolf? ------ This story is a paranormal/fantasy dark drama. The front-end materials provide a complete content warning, since the chapters lack trigger markers. Stay safe in what you read. Because this is a new werewolf world, the front-end material also contains The Mahani World Guide, so you can get a feel for the ranks and powers before diving in. It is not a necessary read, but it's there if you need it.
