The Dead City - Tales from the Last Continent by Arize_Okafor

The Dead City is the story of a young teenage Mynder, a descendant of escaped bioengineered slaves on the cusp of manhood, who lives with his family in their hidden village in the heart of a swamp they call the Green and has never quite fitted in with the others, not as well as his twin brother Asan who is a somewhat accomplished hunter like their one-armed mother. They live in fear of their technologically-advanced creators, the Firstborn, and in awe of the gods that still walk the last continent of man. When their village is destroyed, they decide to make the desperate journey to the forsaken Firstborn city, across the desert of Koh (death), to find and wake the sleeping chaos god in the belief that their freedom can only come from chaos. To succeed would mean uncovering the secrets surrounding the quest and the scribe's connection to the god, kept by his mother, and that of the death of the city to which they travel, kept by the Firstborn.

Sunny Side Up♡ by simply_gloriaa

~"You think a simple walk will make us friends?"~ . . . . . When 15-year-old Melokuhle Nanayemhle Bhengu and Ntsikayomuzi Ntando Nkosi first meet, they're anything but lovers-they're rivals. Competing for the top spot at school, their clashes are fiery, their banter sharp. But somewhere between stolen glances and constant teasing, the line between competition and connection begins to blur. In the sunlit suburbs of Beacon Bay, love finds them in unexpected ways. Yet, as they navigate family expectations, friendships, and the weight of first love, they realise that not all promises are meant to be kept. Some hearts are made to break.

Tales from the Drift: Old Lessons, Hard Futures by ArtisticSmirk

The Drift: a colorful metaphor for the empty space between stars and planets, more closely describing the ever-expanding nature of galaxies and the universe itself. As a colloquialism, it is typically used to reference the gravitational currents and eddies running through the bleak, black nothing. Tales from the Drift is a science-fantasy serial telling the story of an evolving galaxy that is fraught with as many dangers as it is wonders. In Old Lessons, Hard Futures a guardian soldier, an indolent boy-pirate, an old warhorse, and a wayward hotshot find themselves caught in a tangle of plots set to unbalance the already teetering scales of power within the galaxy. --- --- Final chapter published: 05MAY2023. --- --- Cover Art and Headers created using Canva.

Victor - The Wooden Squad by PHDimagine

Trapped. Transformed. Forced to Fight. A group of strangers from the 21st century wake up naked on the shores of an alien world-a place where the sky burns purple at night and survival demands more than modern knowledge. Stripped of everything but their instincts, they must forge alliances, master primitive living and confront a land teeming with rival tribes and brutal secrets that defy logic. From captives to warriors, from outcasts to legends. Ordinary people find themselves in an ancient age. With no memory of how they arrived, these survivors must adapt fast. The dense forests hide hostile natives. When the war erupts, they'll face a choice: to be its executioners-or its casualties. Survival is just the beginning. The Wooden Squad is a heart-pounding fusion of survival epic and gritty fantasy, where wooden weapons clash against steel ambition, loyalty battles betrayal, and ordinary humans evolve into something extraordinary. An epic tale of survival, war, and strategy. Follow Victor and his fractured band as they carve their name into a world that wants them enslaved-or dead. Dive into a sprawling saga (estimated completion 220k+ words) of primal battles, cunning strategy, and the raw will to survive. Imagine Game of Thrones meets The Hunger Games, with a twist of mythic darkness. Perfect for fans of Gladiator, Dune, Berserk, The Witcher. 📍 New episodes Weekly!

CLOUD NINE by Shreya_VA

A budding writer with a bunch of ingenious rebels risk their lives to try and overthrow an oppressive government to earn back their liberty of expression. They need to unify and put aside their differences, interests and pasts, and race against time to snatch back their rights to express freely in the kingdom of clouds. |Wattpad India Awards 2020 Winner| ************ What if there was no freedom of speech and expression in your world? What if every writing, every art and all pieces of creation were censored with an iron hand? The defectors disappear without a trace, the free press is gagged and suffocating and the government had no opposition whatsoever. Set in a world of trust and betrayal, CLOUD NINE is a 'fluffy' tale of darkness. After the long drawn World War 3, people are shifting to the Cloud Kingdom of Audra to escape from the radiations in the atmosphere. Alizeh is looking forward to her stay on 'Cloud Nine'. But what she finds there beggars description. Will Alizeh be able to live there, or will she sacrifice her passion for a chance at a better life?
