THE WORLD HAS BEEN PLUNGED INTO DARKNESS.

For the second time.

No light. Anywhere. No color. Ever. 

Except - 

for the Torches.

Everyone used to think they were just figments of your mind, that our brains created to give us relief from the constant darkness. Ha - relief. As if the blue balls of fire gave us any emotion but fear. But now - now that the world has gone silent, and the torches are starting to call to us - now, I think there may be more to the tale.

16 parts Complete
In an eerily inverted world, humanity reels under the shadow of sinister extraterrestrial forces. The new reality is stark and bewildering, marked by a chasm between what is and what is portrayed. Powerless governments resort to deception, propagating the illusion of normalcy while death and mysterious ailments ravage the populace. In this regime, even acknowledging the existence of extraterrestrials is heresy, a paranoid fantasy dismissed and suppressed. Embark on an immersive journey into this dystopian realm, seen through the eyes of a brave few, the resolute resistance. These individuals defy the imposed silence, voicing the forbidden, risking all to shatter the façade of lies. Facing internment and stigma, they stand against not only the alien menace but also an oppressive regime, determined to uphold its illusory peace at any cost. This is a tale of rebellion, intrigue, and the relentless pursuit of truth. Witness humanity's resilience as it confronts the greatest challenge in its history. The question lingers: Can it overcome its own denial? The race against time is on. This gripping novel promises to hold you captive until its final page. In a world where truth is the ultimate transgression, brace yourself for a literary odyssey that will linger long after the journey concludes.
You Were Always a Daydreamer Draft Version by Diiamond0
8 parts Complete Mature
When you're forced to mask Reality with Fantasy. The lifted layers finally unveil the tombstone of self. The biggest cities into the tiniest pebbles The massive ideas and thoughts formed into merely something to fear. A protagonist who already forgot his name Remembers He is a Daydreamer. Which is the only way to cope with life after multiple tragedies. And the fraud on fake friends faces. Only to daydream. As losing touch takes a toll on that rotting indulgence slowly. This get's quite horrific as it goes on. It's not to enjoy but to reflect on and experience. I decided to publish the draft version, because I don't think I can fully finish YWAADD final edition any time soon. I am in the worst mental and emotional state ever. It's quite a struggle and I suffer heavily. So yeah, the polished draft kind of holds up aswell too. The final one is way longer and eventful. So, um yeah I don't expect this to get attention at all, it's kind of really mid in some parts. But enjoy, or don't I guess. Yes this was inspired by Everywhere At The End Of Time. And other fan projects.
The Devil's Masquerade by Sweet_Memoirs
5 parts Ongoing
Ever heard of the saying 'Don't dance with the devil?' Well, you better pray you don't have to Dance with the She Devil. ------------------------------------------------- They say history repeats itself in an endless cycle until humanity learns the lessons being taught. Just like an endless dance; People meet, waltz, fall in love, marry, and then die a tragic death. For thousands of years, humans lived and thrived with the naive belief that they were the only ones who existed. There were humans that did believe and sought to find out the truth. It is rare that a human is aware of the world that lives among them. Silent and ever watching as eternity stretched out before them. ------------------------------------------ UPDATED NOTE: Hey guys, I am so sorry I just disappeared for a while. Life went chaotic so mental stability was not in the plan for a long time. Now, this is going to be going through some adjustments because it has been so long since a lot of the original events that I planned actually happened in my life plus a lot of new ones. So, bear with me, I hope the ones who liked my book so far still stick with me as I struggle through this. Thank you so much and let us hope 2022 goes better in terms of my writing! I still cannot believe I started this when I was seventeen. I will be twenty-one this year. Yes, this has a new name, I will be tweaking things just a tad but not too much! Lots of love, Rose Mayday

In Every Lifetime [Human POV] by Acacius01
9 parts Complete
You already know Lilian's story. Now, it's time to hear mine. I have lived seven lives-each one pulling me back to the same person. The vampire who never stopped chasing me. The lover who swore to find me, no matter the body, no matter the time. In every lifetime, I met her. In every lifetime, I fell for her. And in every lifetime, I lost her. But what did I feel in those moments? When I first lost her in the forests of Old England, heart unprepared? When she first saved me by the riverbank in Borneo-just a monster and a mere human, bound by fate? When I uncovered the truth about her in 1910 New York, standing between love and fear? When I fought beside her in World War II, longing for something I didn't remember? When she found me in the streets, revealing the truth about who we were-who we had always been? When I walked the neon streets of a cyberpunk future, unaware I was already hers? When I shattered the world to give us a second chance? This is my story. My love. My pain. My fate.

Wings of a New Life by Uppsi1

When I woke, I wasn't human anymore. The last thing I remember is the impact-a heavy blow, a flash of light, and then darkness. But when my eyes opened again, everything had changed. My body was no longer my own. My senses were heightened, my movements alien. And I was alone, face down in what seemed like an endless, echoing cave. I can't explain what happened, or why I've been reborn this way. A dragon? How could this be real? With each new discovery, I learn more about the creature I've become-but I also wonder: Was it all an accident? Or is there something more sinister at play? I'm trapped between two worlds-my old life, lost to the shadows, and this new existence, where every step shakes the earth beneath me. But I have no choice. I must learn to survive in this new form. Because I can't shake the feeling... I'm not the only one here.
