Nella Tanson and Canada Grey are at opposite ends of their world. And their world is the Polytechnic. A battle academy designed to push the best and brightest of the new generation. Cadets are completely isolated from the chaotic outside world and taught to fight, hack, lie, and manipulate. They're separated into Nine Sectors (each with three individual Brigades. Except for the Ninth of course, Y and Z are on their own). When Nella is removed from her comfortable position in the Q Brigade and forced to work alongside Canada in C, the two become the best warriors in the academy. Nella, calm and skilled but reeling from a dangerous (and redacted) incident that left her separate from the rest of her peers, and Canada, cold and brilliant and ostracized by everyone she's ever known. They're quite a team. But unbeknownst to the young women, two mysterious forces are pushing them together, aware that they might be the only hope of saving, quite frankly, everything.

Gift Academy (Book One in the Gifted Series) by Sage_The_Writer2

Twins Fay and Flora Landoff are both Gifted. They were born with extraordinary powers that have yet to develop fully. To develop them quicker, Fay and Flora are sent to Gift, the academy for the Gifted. They find it fun and exciting at first, but it soon turns into a nightmare. Fay and Flora, who very soon fully develop their special abilities and are very skilled with them, will face tough challenges as a student in Gift turns out to be a traitor, getting information for the enemy. The enemies were born with, not one, but two gifts. They're called the Extraordinarily Gifted, and they think that they're more powerful than the Gifted. The Extraordinarily Gifted, nicknamed the Extras, will stop at nothing to wipe out the Gifted. They want to take over Gift Academy for themselves, and it's now up to Fay and Flora to stop them, with help from their new friends. But the problem is, they don't know who the traitor lurking in Gift Academy is, and finding out who is will probably be the hardest part of the mission, since there are tons of students roaming. But the traitor and the Extras are not the only thing Gift Academy has to worry about. *Copyright* *Book One in the Gifted Series* *Completed*

Until FEAR, the AI governing the virtual world of Valor, decides the thing humanity fears most is death. Despite the rising death toll and Facing Fear closing its doors, when Mori discovers her sister Shiori is trapped in the game, she does the unthinkable. She goes in after her. But she'll soon discover they're not the only ones desperate to make it out alive and there are worse things in Valor than the monsters. There's more to FEAR than fear itself. ✧ 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 ✧ 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 ✧ 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 ✧ ─────────────────────────────────── Completed: 4-23-2023 Word Count: 35,000 - 40,000

Have you ever seen your life flash before your eyes?

The training that I received a few years ago allows me to do that, it allows me to be the best person that I can be, if I could go back to the day I joined the military I wouldn't change a single thing; the only thing I would've changed in my journey is to have looked after her better. To have kept her safe. But life had other plans with both of us... ***** All ideas in this book are thought of by me. Nothing has been based of another book.

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. I used prompt number 53: "When wildlife starts rampaging, all the humans are forced underground. However, they come to a terrible discovery that being underground is no safer than being on the surface."

Rebooting the Oberrlyn's by travelerpelton

The Oberllyn's in the year 2018 are a shadow family. Noel , Violet and their children are close knit in more ways than one; traditionally native, brilliant, with military and scientific backgrounds, they all work together in the family firm. The firm, a fourth generation independent underground spy network, works directly for the President and other U.S. allies to stop the spread of terrorism. In theory, Kai, Gabriel and Jasmine are supposed to take over the firm; Noel and Violet are supposed to retire as soon as the boys finish their present military service. Kai and Gabriel had gone into the military undercover as recruits, only to have the government they all thought they were working for put them in situations to deliberately attempt to kill them . While her brothers are under fire, Jasmine is in university finishing her degree in forensic psychiatry, and while studying, finds a husband as well. Lilianna has gone off on her own; Micah, an eight year old autistic savant, is learning to cope with his social anxiety while Serena just wants to find a horse to ride. In the meantime, a hidden figure sets loose a savage virus that has a 100% kill rate, it has gone global, and the Oberllyn's need to kill it before it kills them and everyone else. And you thought retirement planning was just a matter of money...
