On the planet of Natsuna, people are placed in one of four castes. Each caste is dictated by each person's ability to connect with nature. From these connections they can utilize orbs called "Nature's Bounties". Each orb gives the person one of two abilities depending on their connection. First caste is the Protectors. Those who serve to preserve the law and can connect with silver bounties that control the gravitational field around them. The second being Nurturers, those sworn to keep peace between the citizens and nature. They have the ability to control the four elements with a clear bounty. The third caste most common on the planet being citizens. People who are unable to connect to bounties.
Then the last being Guardian, a person who has the deepest connection to the planet through the bounty. Liebe, found to be the new Guardian, is placed in the role of finding what is best for their society. Will those of Natsuana find ruin, or will they strike hot at the balance needed to forge onward? Time to reach deep and keep grounded for what lies ahead.

In the boundless expanse of the cosmos, where galaxies collide and nebulae swirl in cosmic dances, there exists a group of extraordinary beings known as "The Celestial Guardians." Each member hails from a different celestial body, their unique powers and profound destinies intertwined by the stars themselves. Bound by fate and united by purpose, The Celestial Guardians are the sentinels of the universe, wielding powers beyond imagination to protect the delicate balance of existence.

As they gather around a round table in a galactic bar, their stories and destinies begin to intertwine, setting the stage for a grand adventure that spans the stars.

World Circuits
A whole world full of energy gives people powers. Powers called "Circuit Arts", give people different abilities. With unlimited possibilities, some range from turning invisible, to shredding people in an instant by looking at them. This world isn't inhabited only by people though, there are multiple races, and monsters of extreme power called "Blights". The oldest ones alive, look just like people, fitting in while massacring those who oppose them. The story begins as Riley, Lux, Val, and Esme try to kill the Blight organization called "The Children of God" and their journey towards their goal. - - This story is being made by three people, Night, Wolf, and AnonymousMood48. This is the first time we are doing this so the quality may not be top tier. Chapters will switch between the three of us so chapter one is AnonymousMood48, chapter two is myself - Night, and third is Wolf. We'll try to keep the order as much as possible. Thanks for reading! (Unless you click away..). - - (Cover Art was made by myself using other peoples pictures, so technically not mine, credit goes to the people who made the pictures of the galaxy background and the earth photo.) - - (Discontinued)Complete
Trepidation: Act 1
10,000 years in the future, humanity has long since inhabited a region of space simply known as the "Habitable Zone of the Milky Way," or simply the "Habitable Zone." Many advancements have been made, though many are irrelevant to the billions - or perhaps more - of souls scattered across space. Everything operates under the silent, vague, but present scrutiny of the gods, with thaumaturgic talents dominating many human cultures in some capacity. Churches reign over the post-Altarum territories a century after the Silence. The World, at least as far as many within the Habitable Zone are concerned, is a cold, thoughtless plane of existence. It is within a single vessel, known as the CSS Groundskeeper, do things begin to influence the "Things To Be," as labeled by followers of the pantheon. Within this ship, two individuals will face the beginning of what is to be unimaginable horrors within an unforgiving universe, both with the same goal: do not succumb to the darkness. Trepidation: Act I is the first story in what is to be a much longer novel detailing the story of two individuals in the cold universe. Act I may contain disturbing content for some readers. Special thanks to Lilian (liliantherat@bsky.social) Elise S. (Seventh Bean) Colt Klassic C.W.K. Peregrine Nasturtium_K Chaz Shade For inspiration and your characters for novel adaptation. Trepidation, Act I and future acts, would not be possible without all of you. (I am awestruck at how well this has done. The read to vote ratio is something I never could have expected, and I thank both my friends and all new readers for current and continued support, even if the support is merely reading. Seriously, thank you.)Complete
Folding the Sky
"If ever something was lost...Zuri Ayim was the one who could recover it." _____________________________________________________________ Twelve years ago, a meteorite fell among the seven city-states of Kiro, and birthed a new legend. They are called Celestials: normal people given supernatural abilities from the meteorite's impact. Eighteen-year-old Zuri Ayim received the ability to look into people's minds when the meteorite struck, and since then has used her power to make a business for herself, in the hopes of paying off her father's debt before it's too late. But Zuri's life changes quickly when the Queen herself asks Zuri to find something for her: a talented weaver who is said to stitch the future into his tapestries. With the help of four other Celestials, Zuri sets out on a lengthy journey to locate him. Except, complications soon arise when they discover that this man's power isn't so simple. That, and they're not the only ones looking for him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Updates every Saturday. As always, vote and comment if you enjoy!Complete
