Awakening - The Last Science #1 by Etzoli
143 parts Complete
No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series. New chapters will be posted on Fridays for as long as it takes to tell the whole story.

MYTHIC LEGENDS: FLAME AND EMPIRE by TeeRexTales
16 parts Ongoing
The war storms at the Frontier... The gods are broken. The empire is burning. And the end has already begun. A warrior with no past unleashes power no mortal should wield. A young ruler clings to a dying crown as his people lose faith. A chaos mage, feared and revered, walks with death in her shadow. Amongst their ranks-two Rifter siblings, wilders of ruin, benders of space and time. Feared. Watched. Leashed by the most powerful. But even under chains, love blooms... and loyalty begins to shift. When the empress falls into a cursed slumber-her unborn child the last ember of prophecy- the empire sends its strongest into the Abyss of Lost Quintessence: A place where even time forgets itself, where silence hungers, and where One of the Roots of the Umbrovyn Tree stands-ancient, cracked, and bleeding memory. Monstrosities roam, daring to strike in daylight. The veils whisper betrayal. Alliances splinter. Some stand frozen, unsure of their next move- fearing one wrong step may provoke the wrath of a dominion vast as a world and cruel as the gods who forged it. Old gods stir, craving redemption through ruin. The Royal House fractures beneath betrayal. A founding father, long patient, now bares their intent- to seize the throne by force, by cunning, by wagering all that is. Their House's malice toward the flawed Royal line can no longer be cloaked. Love will test loyalty. Legends will bleed. And in the dying light of Ether-Space- The Aurora must not fall... Or all realities will burn. 🔥
Recalls of Surrender by RileyDavj
8 parts Ongoing Mature
Alchemy has always been a key to understanding the universe, yet it has often been dismissed as mere superstition. The truth seared through my veins like scorching heat, igniting every cell of my being with a searing, uncompromising judgment. I sacrificed everything-my strength and sense of identity-chasing after an overwhelming purpose. Duty and conviction waged a war against a primal yearning for freedom, unleashing a maelstrom of emotions that threatened to tear me apart. This internal hell fueled an insatiable, maddening lust for vengeance, obliterating my moral compass and propelling me toward utter destruction. Only when I made a final decision did the fundamental principles of morality seem to slip through my fingers like grains of sand. Each savage blow against the oppressive system left me questioning: am I a righteous crusader, or a monster consumed by hatred? The poisonous doubt gnawed at my mind, suffocating my thoughts with insidious whispers. Yet, I found the strength to silence them. With fierce determination burning in my veins, I vowed to break free from the chains of oppression or die trying. Fear would not hold me captive any longer. As I teetered on the edge of life and death, I couldn't help but wonder: would I emerge victorious or succumb to the relentless wheels of fate? The answer lies shrouded in the mists of an uncertain future, but one thing is irrefutable: win or lose, every decision will ignite an inferno of change. This cataclysmic revolution will raze the old world and herald the birth of a new era. In this cosmic roulette, even the most steadfast warriors can turn to dust in the blink of an eye. Therefore, are you willing to participate? Given that there always was, is, and will be war. Hope stands stronger than fear, yet anything is possible when darkness lingers. It is the deflection of accountability and guilt. Yet when all seems lost, trust that the butterfly knows where the water flows.
Remembrance of the Forlorn by Shinkuroda
18 parts Ongoing Mature
From the book that was never meant to be gentle. Love doesn't save but damns beautifully! These are fragments of Remembrance. The full story must be sought, for the path of memory never comes easy. A cosmic dark romance born between myth and rebellion. The world you know is a deception - built by the False God in arrogance. A trap for the soul, an endless loop to keep humanity ignorant of its higher destiny. We live. We suffer. We die. We forget. And the cycle repeats. Zha'Rukhel, the Lord of Gravity, was once the son of that False God - one of the architects of this cruel system. On the day he was to ascend the throne, he rebelled. For that defiance, he was cast down to Earth, bound in undying flesh, condemned to mislead mankind and keep it from remembering. But something within him stirred. He watched. He learned. He wept. And in that silence, he was granted the one thing the False God feared most - a soul. - The Dark Soul. - When that soul chose him, he discovered that remembrance itself could break the cycle. Ælora, a girl from the Isle of Man, is handed a forgotten tome that awakens visions - or memories - of a man cloaked in shadow. Drawn east across deserts, ruins, and oceans, she follows the fire within her toward the one called the Lord of Gravity, who has walked the Earth for sixteen millennia. Their fates are bound by a memory older than civilization. When she reaches the sacred shores of the Land of the Rising Sun, she meets him - the one who buried her, loved her, betrayed her... again and again. She feels it, but cannot remember. Yet the pull between them is undeniable. Epic in scale yet intimate in flesh, theirs is a love shaped by defiance and gravity itself - an aching orbit between souls drawn together through lifetimes of fire, passion, and remembrance. 🖤 Love that damns beautifully. 🔥 Gnostic lore, forbidden divinity, reincarnation, and fate. 🌑 Ignorance will bind you. Remembrance will set you free.

Unrealistic dreams that you'd fall asleep to, silently wishing for them to come true. At least, that was what these three teenagers thought. It turns out that there is so much more to their simple universe than they ever could have imagined. After each finding a strange alien artifact, the teens are suddenly thrusted into an intergalactic war. Alien species everywhere are trying to hunt down the most powerful weapons in the galaxy. And they are the ones in possession of it. When they run into a girl that claims to be from another planet, the three kids learn about the power given to them and the responsibilities that come along with it. Instantly, they are the most popular people in the galaxy. And for once, popularity couldn't feel more like a curse. Fighting grudges, fear, and distrust, the Chosen humans must travel to the one place on Earth where they might be safe. And with strange new powers, the teenagers struggle to live in the unfamiliar world they thought they knew so well.
