curiosity fantasy forbidden island new newworld

Long ago, an archipelago called Ousia emerged out of the ocean of a planet, forming lands covered in trees and fields, volcanoes and mountains, creatures that are both wondrous and dangerous. These lands that emerged from the deep also brought people, who looked as though they came from the land themself. The people lived based on the rules of their government, with beliefs based on their industry and the nature around them. 

Among these people lived a girl, who was different from the people of each island. She was curious, stood up against the rules, and believed that everyone should live based on their own beliefs, not the beliefs they were forced to live by. 

But being curious in this world is not always the safest. Will it treat her kindly? Teach her a lesson?

Sentilia by ChristineParentBooks

Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351. She's always been fascinated with how humans used to live in houses, drive cars, and the fact that there used to be forests and parks everywhere. Now, after a war that nearly erased humanity, people are forced to live a strict, dull, communist lifestyle. Everyone seems okay with this way of life. Everyone except Maxine. Maxine had always been special; she was often able to predict events. How? She didn't exactly know...yet. When she starts having dreams about a tropical island where people live as they did in the 21st century, she meets the man of her dreams: literally. Her new boiling emotions bring her to wonder...what if it's a real place? When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination. Finding that island could mean finding the answers to her burning questions, and maybe even answers to questions she didn't know she had. However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is. The Advisors, the ten women governing the world, want to assimilate the people of the island, not knowing that those people have an extreme advantage over them. Maxine also learns that her family has been lying to her about who she really is. Ultimately, when the Advisors come to destroy the island, she must face the fact that she is the key to the island's salvation, and embracing her rapidly developing abilities is the only way to do so.

Wasteland Conqueror by PowerArmorGuy

Dom, a man in his mid-twenties, suddenly gets reincarnated into the harsh post-apocalyptic world of his favorite game series, Wastelander. With his previous life ended and his new one just beginning he needed a new goal to strive for, and so with an ambitious heart, he decided to pursue the monstrous goal of conquering the wasteland in its entirety that has been left scarred by atomic fire for some two centuries. On his journey through this new world, he'll come face to face with all sorts of dangers ranging anywhere from mutants wanting to tear any human they come across to shreds for a quick meal to bandit clans that love to rape, pillage, and sell their victims into slavery. Despite those prevalent threats seeming dangerous enough to deter most from even attempting to set foot outside the confines of whatever safe haven they have, they're not even the worst of what he'll come across in the pursuit of his goals. Dom's quest will have him go toe to toe with the many powers that exist across the wasteland and their armies in his quest to one day conquer it. Will Dom achieve his dreams in this life or will he succumb to the many dangers that exist within the wasteland and beyond? | Other information | This work is only available on Webnovel, Royal Road, Scribble Hub, Wattpad, and Fenrir Realm.

The sun that turned blue by ZombifiedDragon

This story is inspired by ancient China and doesn't have a specific time period it plays out in (remember that it's a fantasy world and not meant to be 100% history accurate, it's a world I made not a documentary lol) and all characters are my own and I do not allow for them to be used (fanart or fanfics are okay as long as you give credit!), I cannot say more than that without spoiling everything! but if you enjoy reading Danmei you will surely love this! I am actively working on getting my drawings in the chapters! and I use modern (not American) time and measurement increments so that nobody has to go and google it just to keep reading lol A GENERAL TW: there is gore, SA, torture, just in general gruesome stuff but it's all part of the story line and things WILL get better, there is both a ton of hurt and a ton of comfort so do not worry! If you read this I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Awaken Into a New World Book 1 (Edited) by I_Am_OwlGirl

From the void of space, a ship appears. . . with only one purpose-to wipe out all the inhabitants off the face of the planet. Decades later, a young woman, Alecia, with her memory wiped, wakes up into a world she knows little about-except that it is now a husk of its former self. She ventures forth, unaware of the dangers that lay ahead. Very soon she finds out she's not like any human being. With her vulnerable mind, she possesses abnormal abilities not known to her. Not knowing how to tap into it. Not knowing if it can be controlled, she can only hope that it doesn't consume her. Alecia meets new individuals. Some are friends; some are enemies. While she learns little by little the mystery of her past, she finds herself drowned in need of knowing her origins. . . but it seems that the unknown is much more terrifying than she has ever imagined. -- • 1st Place Winner of Tree Awards 2018 • Best Rank in Survival #15 [10/05/2018] • Best Rank in Science Fiction #166 [21/05/2018] - Big thanks to @renesmeewolfe for my previous book cover.

Curiosity's Price by BookBird1497

That undeniable, insatiable pull of the curious... The quizzical... The questioning... It affects everyone at some point in their life. However, it definitely has influenced the wrong people this time. Welcome to a world where there are hidden cities in the sky and winged people inhabiting them. Welcome to a world where, if you're born without wings in those sky cities, you're taken down to Earth and raised as a normal human. Welcome to a world where contact with Earth dwellers is grounds for expulsion from the sky. Permanent expulsion. Read and see how fate loves to find ways to meddle in the affairs of innocent people. Hetalia AU OCxCanada is probably the only pairing I'll have, although I might mention others. Maybe some OCxScotland later on... The cover is by angleterre! (It's such wonderful fan art for the story! :D) I do not own Hetalia, Hidekaz Himaruya does! I only the OCs, the plot, and the work it takes to make this story a reality on your computer screen.

With a burning feeling by itsagoldenworld

For one to inhabit oddities that are truly beyond normalcy, the town has been surprisingly peaceful for many centuries. However, behind the tranquility that seemed to encase the place, there lie intense rules that are forever ingrained by all townsfolk within their hearts and mind. Though it is not the town itself that was odd; but the territory just next to them. Vast and eerie, full of creatures of the unknown, and home to a being so powerful who was feared by all and remembered even by the youngest of children there was. The forest is not to be disturbed. The rules were simple. No one is to be allowed to enter, even taking a daring mere inch of a step, in the forest. NO. ENTRY. This is what has been placed when people take sightings of the large and wide forest. A warning that implies extreme danger due to the number of signs there are in one area. For there is a creature that lies beyond the forest. So dangerous and so terrifying, it could scorch the world with its flames. It's not a dragon. It's not a beastly monster. Not even a giant or a devil. But a god. A sun god. And the sun god's abode was the forest. And he is there for a reason.
