The Assassin of Atlantis (A Novel) by ProlixRemedy

The Assassin of Atlantis is a fanfic based on The Assassin of Time by @RedPetal49. Set in the Third World Universe by Sunny Ghauri, it is a science fantasy standalone prequel to The Halfbreeds of Atlantis. --- A time-bending romance of ancient secrets and forbidden truths... Leonor Reid is a brilliant university professor of temporal mechanics at the University of Bayhan City in ancient Atlantis. Sharp-minded, guarded, and known for her work in time-state physics, she has spent her life decoding the past and tracing whispers of lost technology rumored to manipulate time. Meeting a stranger changed everything. Ander de Lara is the captivating man she met at an academic conference. A week of passion, never to be spoken of again, until he reappears a month later as her new research partner on a project around an ancient temple funded by the Atlantean nobility, also known as the sky gods. Ander is charming, disciplined, and far too composed for a man working in academia and excavation sites. What Leonor doesn't know is that he is not just a professor. He is an assassin, embedded in the project under orders to investigate a temple said to house a sentient relic. What neither of them expects is that the temple holds an Enunori, a relic and being of memory and will, capable of traversing timelines, crossing into lost futures, and rewriting destiny itself. As they descend deeper into the Enunori's timestream, the past begins to bleed into the present. Their connection intensifies, echoing across time. But time is not their only enemy. What Ander doesn't know is that Leonor is changing, and she may be the very thing he was sent to destroy. Because something ancient is stirring inside her, and she may be the anomaly that was never meant to exist. To survive, they must break the curse of sky god violence. To love, they must unravel time and challenge the order of all things.

Return to Atlantis by CharleyV

Thousands of years ago, the great and powerful city of Atlantis existed in all its full glory on Earth. Today, Atlantis is but a historical ghost and the only remnant of that myth of a lost nation is a girl called Ava, who walks silently among the people of present-day Earth; an enigma, a curse. For Ava Kinski has an undiscovered role in the sullen events that has captured the planet - the arrival of the same unknown invaders from the heavens that destroyed Atlantis a long, long time ago... Caught in the seemingly uncanny events is a Alec Archer and his friends; their worlds colliding with Ava, as they are unknowingly thrust in a quest for the truth that will take them to the legend that is Atlantis and to worlds away in time and space, in a magical universe they never knew existed as they are embroiled in a sinister plot of epic proportions. And the question they all have to ask - is Ava a friend or foe? This is the untold story of Atlantis. Please note this work is raw and unedited so sorry for the many mistakes. This is an original work, not a fan fiction, nothing to do with Aquaman, Disney's Atlantis or Stargate. Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to any photos/ media used on here

The Halfbreeds of Atlantis (A Novel) by ProlixRemedy

When his fallen comrade's pregnant wife is marked for death, Ibris Mansa vows to protect her. But someone powerful is hunting the child for his genetic potential, and Ibris is determined to uncover the truth before it's too late. This story takes place on the ancient continent of Atlantis... yes, the one told in myths and legends. Before its fall, Atlantis is already rotting from within, where nobles thrive, animal- human halfbreeds are cast aside, and unchecked technology and an A.I. religion push civilization toward collapse. At the heart of this world stands Ibris, a bull halfbreed. Tall and broad-shouldered, with the horns of a beast and the defiance of a man, he was created to serve the elite of Atlantis but chose instead to rebel. Brutal in battle and reckless in vice, he bears his burdens with strength while drink, women, and danger seem to follow him everywhere. Now he fights for all genetically engineered halfbreeds, leading a resistance against those who would keep them shackled in servitude, discarded as nothing more than slaves and tools for the elite. "The Halfbreeds of Atlantis" is a science fantasy novel set in "The Third World Universe" created by author Sunny Ghauri, offering a fantastical retelling of the stories of Atlantis. This book is a prequel to "The Sky Gods of Atlantis."

The Android of Atlantis by ProlixRemedy

In ancient Atlantis, an expansive and diverse continent that spanned the Atlantic Ocean some 14,000 years ago, the world stood on the precipice of change. For the first time in history, a humanoid, sentient android walked among humans. Ashur Napahu was the first of his kind. Designed using code for military super soldiers, Ashur's loving, scientist mother left him to a world not yet ready for a conscious, self-aware machine. Yet when he meets an Atlantean woman carrying a deep secret and dreaming of realizing her own potential, something awakens within him. He experiences love in its purest and most fragile form, navigating a society that sees him as unnatural. But love, like logic, is not immune to contradiction. As the weight of expectation, prejudice, and fate bears down on him, Ashur must confront the limits of his existence... and of those around him. Atlantis may have mastered the engineering of sentient machines, but it has yet to master the wisdom required to coexist with them. Journey into ancient Atlantis--a world where the lines between man and machine blur, and a sentient android dares to ask the most human question of all: What is the meaning of life? ******** This novella was written for the Open Novella Contest 2025, based on Prompt #71: "In a world where artificial beings and humans coexist, one artificial human embarks on a journey to understand love and emotions-only to uncover more than expected."

TK Special #7 - Return to the M'Verse: An Ooorah Anthology by Ooorah

Each of the stories featured herein is set within a Universe of the writer's creation, while all being a part of a larger, shared Multiverse. At the Ooorah Mothership, we call this the M'Verse. Writers have free rein to tell the story they want to tell, providing it's sci-fi in nature and no more than 5000 words in length... then it's all good! There are, however, five "rules" to which all created Universes within the shared Multiverse must adhere. Think of them as non-mandatory prompts that weave an invisible, unbreakable web throughout this anthology. But that shouldn't prove too difficult for the writers partaking... It's time to RETURN TO THE M'VERSE.
