OutrageousFiction

In the distant future, on the planet Fortune, tech is low, treason high, and heroes unlikely.

Wrongly convicted of treason, Infantry Colonel Gideon Quinn has spent six years under the killing suns of the Morton Barrens, harvesting crystal and dreaming of vengeance. 

But when a general of the Colonial Corps arrives with an offer of freedom, and a chance to clear his name, Gideon doesn't have to think twice. He takes her offer and with Elvis, his pet draco, on his shoulder, boards an airship bound for the city of Nike in search of revenge. 

And justice. 

But mostly revenge.

What he finds is plucky street-thief, a city steeped in corruption, and a seeming host of enemies determined to stop Gideon from discovering their deadly purpose-by any means necessary. Now Gideon finds himself involved in an entirely different kind of battle-a shadow war that, if he loses, could bring Fortune's new and fragile peace to an explosive end.

And that's just his first night in town. 

Soldier of Fortune is the first Gideon Quinn Adventure. If you like down-at-heels heroes, quippy sidekicks, and roller-coaster action, you'll love this free-wheeling mashup of science fantasy, steampunk, and comedy.All Rights Reserved

Sins Chaos by PLFeight

Tick-tock. Time is up. You can run, but... I wouldn't know the truth if it ran me over on a dark road and stopped long enough to introduce itself. I'm a chameleon and my days of flying under Rixton Biochemical Corp's radar has come to end. Battles fought in secret have now become public and war has been declared. Falling in love wasn't even a blip on my survival radar. From the moment I literally fell into him, it was lust at first sight and our connection was undeniable. Too bad I'm the threat he is sworn to hunt down and he's the danger I crave. ...you will be hunted... Self-delusion: the master of all lies spun; the spider that guards deceptions web. When my past comes back to haunt me, my perfectly crafted island of deceptive truths and earth-shattering lies descends into chaos. I am supposed to be the good guy. The one who hunted down the bad guys. I live in a world where the line that separates the "good" guys from the "bad" guys is just a blurry optical illusion that tricks the mind into believing whatever it wants to be true. Not everything (or everyone) is what (or who) it (they) seem. ...and the truth always finds its prey.

The Memory Tax by Willowreader2473

In the walled city of Veylin, memories are currency. The wealthy hoard them, the poor trade them just to survive, and the government controls them all. A single stolen recollection can cost you your life. Cara Ray has spent years in the shadows, dealing in black-market memories, extracting and selling stolen moments to those desperate enough to pay. She despises the elite who never have to know what it's like to forget their own past just to scrape by. And no one infuriates her more than Caleb Morrow-the cold, calculating son of Veylin's Memory Commissioner, a man who's never had to lift a finger to survive. Caleb has never known hunger or the harsh realities of the streets. He's spent his life in the luxury of the city's upper echelons, shielded from the brutal truths of the world below. But when he learns that his mother's memories were erased by the government-and that she's still alive, somewhere in Veylin, living under control-his world is upended. To find her, Caleb needs help. The one person who could assist him is Cara. But she's no ally. She's everything he's been taught to despise. When Caleb tracks Cara down, forcing her into an uneasy alliance neither of them wants, their rivalry turns into something far more complicated. Both are caught in a game of survival-one trying to recover what was stolen, the other fighting to keep her own secrets buried. And as the stakes get higher, Cara begins to see Caleb as more than just a privileged enemy. But trust is a luxury neither can afford, and with each step toward the truth, their fragile truce begins to crack. In Veylin, memories are worth more than gold, and the line between enemy and ally is thin-especially when hearts are on the line.

When former Jedi guardian Ryu Chikara's ship crash-lands on a mysterious planet unlike any he's ever known, he finds himself far from the galaxy's conflicts-but no closer to peace. Aranthia, a realm where magic reigns and danger lurks at every turn, is on the brink of war. Among medieval castles and enchanted forests, orcs, elves, and beasts roam-none of whom have ever heard of the Force. Accompanied by his loyal tactical droid, Apollo, and his mechanic Lyra, Ryu's survival depends not only on his skill with a lightsaber but also his ability to navigate a strange new world where power lies not in technology, but in spells, swords, and ancient secrets. Along the way, Ryu rescues a lost beast folk child, Nikko, and joins forces with a beautiful elvish warrior, Talia. But when dark forces from the past reawaken, threatening both this world and the one he left behind, Ryu must confront his deepest fears and reconcile with the guilt that haunts him. As ancient prophecies stir and long-buried powers resurface, Ryu's destiny becomes entangled with Aranthia's own. Will he bring balance to a world teetering on the edge of chaos-or will he become the harbinger of its destruction? In this epic blend of sci-fi adventure and high fantasy, Stranded in a Magical World with my Lightsaber takes readers on a journey across two worlds colliding, where a hero must rediscover his purpose amidst shadowy forces, forgotten magic, and unlikely friendships.

Awakened by tseeley13

Naomi believed her life was ordinary, her challenges no different from anyone else's-until the day she was torn from her world. Abducted through a mysterious portal and thrust into a breathtaking yet dangerous realm, Naomi finds herself face-to-face with Creed, a powerful and enigmatic ruler who reveals truths that shake the very foundation of her existence. She is no ordinary human; she is a Starseed, a being of immense power tied to a prophecy that spans dimensions. Trapped in Creed's world and cut off from her sister, Naomi struggles to reconcile her awakening powers with her fear of the unknown. Creed, a man with secrets of his own, insists she is the key to saving not just his people but the universe itself. But trust is not easily earned, and Naomi's defiance might be her only shield in a world where alliances are fragile, and betrayal lurks in every shadow. As the Dark Forces close in, hunting her for reasons she cannot yet fully understand, Naomi must decide whether to embrace her destiny or risk losing everything-and everyone-she holds dear. With time running out, she discovers that survival demands more than courage; it requires her to unlock the truth of who she is, even if it means forging an unbreakable bond with the one man who could destroy her. In a universe where light and darkness wage a timeless war, Naomi's choices will shape the fate of worlds. But will she rise to the challenge, or will the weight of her destiny crush her before she can fight back?

The ledger of Osiris by TheColdphoenix

Ledger of Osiris: Veil of Shadows (Published only in Wattpad) In the dark corners of the city, where shadows whispered of sinister deeds, Ahmed the demon hunter roamed. Armed with the ancient Book of Osiris, a ledger that chronicled the balance of good and evil in every soul, he sought to vanquish both demons and corrupt humans. The leather-bound book, etched with mystical symbols, held the secrets of humanity's deeds. Debit for the malevolent acts, credit for the virtuous. Ahmed, with unwavering determination, used this divine record to tip the scales towards justice. As the shadows of the past converge with the present, Ahmed finds himself in a battle that transcends the boundaries of reality. A cunning and relentless evil more ancient than the pyramids weaves a web of corruption that entangles the highest officials of the country. What began as a quest for justice transforms into a grand battle of attrition. In "Veil of Shadows" Ahmed, armed with the mystical Book of Osiris, must navigate treacherous alliances and face the corrupted forces that now control the nation. What remains of the demon hunter order rallies behind him, their ancient knowledge pitted against a malevolence that spans centuries. The fate of the country hangs in the balance as Ahmed confronts not only demonic adversaries but also the very institutions sworn to protect. The battle becomes a struggle for the soul of the nation, where shadows dance with political power, and cosmic forces clash in a symphony of chaos and redemption. Will Ahmed's unwavering determination and connection to ancient wisdom be enough to thwart this insidious plot? "Veil of Shadows" unfolds a tale of cosmic proportions, where the past and present collide, and the destiny of a nation hinges on the outcome of an epic battle between light and darkness. Will the demon hunter's redemption be the key to vanquishing an ancient evil, or will the veil of shadows engulf the world in eternal night?

Forsaken: The Chosen Trilogy - Book One by RKSHobbs

Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world. But evil wears many faces, and it will take the efforts of all- Kryssa, Brannyn, Lanya, Kylee, Alyxen, and Reyce- to survive the harrowing trials to come. ********************** FORSAKEN is a completed novel, being posted as a serial. Books Two through Five in the Saga of Darkness are also complete. Chapters posted every Monday and Friday.
