In the Ascendant Peacekeeping Guild of Ethèria, where oases float above the wasted earth, the only problems are the ones sparked by the brutish Deadlanders below. So every Ascendant, once proven worthy, is Blessed by the immortal Guild Father with a supernatural ability that helps them quell the Deadlanders' disputes, divide resources fairly, and stop wars - all without being seen. Ethèria itself is a paradise.
 
Not for seventeen-year-old Quinlan Petrix, a traitor's son. Born and raised in the Ascendant Guild and yet to receive a Blessing, Quinlan blames his mother's betrayal of the Guild ten years ago. When he's assigned an undercover mission to the Deadlands because he blends in with the Deadlanders, he's pissed but determined to undo the damage his mother has done. He joins the Guild's best Silencer - assassin is such an unpleasant word - on a trip below the clouds where a rebel organization against the Guild leader has taken root. If he can nip the rebellion in the bud and restore order, maybe he'll be granted the Blessing he's always wanted, along with a true place in the Guild.

But it turns out that the Deadlanders aren't brutes at all, and the Guild leaders are exploitative bastards who wring others dry so they can sustain Ethèria. The Father's next plan? Binding the Ascendants to his will as their "Blessings" grow out of their control and take over their minds. The "Blessing" meant for Quinlan is the worst curse of all, thanks to his mother's secret past and lineage. If Quinlan can't successfully play double-agent and facilitate the revolt against the Guild leaders, they'll use him to destroy both worlds he has come to know, including the only real friends Quinlan has ever had.

Well, heaven's overrated anyway.

The Elementals - The Ice Princess by bvadovic
50 parts Complete
When Eira was seven, she was involved in a car crash that left her mother dead and her with no memories of the incident. Therefore, it's impossible for her to realize that she has been chosen to succeed her mother as the last 'Ice Elemental', one of six guardians with the power to control specific elements that keeps everything from teetering into chaos. Nine years later, now a student in high school in Snowspell Wisconsin, her dad has secretly trained her to blend in and be 'invisible' amongst her peers. That becomes much more difficult for her when she unwittingly begins to develop special abilities in front of everyone in her high school cafeteria, including Alexander, a mysterious new student with a strange tattoo on his ear, a hidden ability to teleport, and a keen interest in the necklace given to her by her mom right before she died. Eira learns that she is being protected from anyone or anything that may do her harm and it's not long before an evil entity with an army of dark souls, (including her mother's) knows exactly who and where she is. With the dark entity's army, the "Achlys" unrelenting in their search and closing in, Eira and Alexander escape into seclusion. Confused, unprepared and hunted by an army of darkness that would just as soon as kill her as capture her, Eira must quickly mature and develop into the Elemental power she was destined to become or she and those she loves may face the same fate that her mother did years ago.
Mistress of the Veil by OdettaLaman
18 parts Ongoing Mature
When the boundary between life and death thins, Daphne DeLaris finds herself trapped between two worlds. After a tragic car accident claims the life of her best friend, Daphne is haunted by Death's cold shadow. Night after night, she dreams of the Final Horseman, cloaked in darkness, silently reminding her that her fate is no longer her own. The Veil is no mere boundary-it is a living realm teeming with power, a dark reflection of both life and death. In this twilight world, cities rise and fall, while every shadow hides a secret. The dead, the damned, and the defiled are locked in a delicate struggle for control. At the center of it all stands Daphne, the Mistress of the Veil, bound by necromantic powers gifted to her by Death himself. Her task? To maintain balance in a realm ruled by chaos, betrayal, and ambition. But when political factions from the Order of the Coven and infernal forces vie for control over her prophecy, Daphne is thrusted into a complex web of deceit. She must navigate a precarious relationship with an ancient Vampyr Elder, a cunning Wizard with ties to the Coven, and a Devil's Disciple who rides at the edge of chaos. Together, they offer Daphne guidance-or so they claim-on how to harness her powers as Mistress of the Veil. But who among them truly seeks to help her, and who seeks to control the very realm she is meant to protect? As the Veil begins to bleed into the mortal world and time runs out, Daphne must confront not only Death but her own inner darkness. The greatest battle she will face is not with the forces that seek to rule the Veil, but with herself. Will Daphne embrace her destiny as the Mistress of the Veil, or will she succumb to the ever-growing shadows threatening to consume her-and the world as she knows it?

Vile Dominion by myNameisAnonymous03
105 parts Ongoing
Disclaimer: This is my own work, if a character seem to be similar, it may be due to a coincidence or may also be because I was inspired of their work. I tried my best to make a unique content. In a world where the heavens themselves weave intricate schemes, Li Gang is reborn into the brutal cultivation realm of the Divine Spirit World. Here, power is absolute, and the strongest warriors and immortals manipulate fate, treating mortals and weaker cultivators as mere pawns in their grand designs. Armed with the memories of his past life and a mind sharper than any blade, Li Gang quickly realizes that raw strength alone is not enough to survive. Every sect, clan, and faction hides venomous plots, and even disciples are mere tools for their masters' ambitions. The path to power is paved with betrayal, deception, and blood. But Li Gang is no ordinary pawn. With unparalleled intellect and an unwavering will, he begins to turn the tide-navigating deadly conspiracies, outwitting ancient masterminds, and twisting their own schemes against them. Whether through manipulation, ruthless strategy, or sheer defiance, he refuses to be controlled. Yet, the deeper he delves into the world's secrets, the more terrifying the truth becomes. The so-called "Immortals" are not as invincible as they claim. They, too, are caught in a game far greater than he ever imagined. The true masterminds lurk in the shadows, pulling the strings of even the highest cultivators. To break free, Li Gang must not only rise to power but shatter the very foundations of this world's control. Can he outscheme the schemers and become the ultimate ruler, or will he, too, fall victim to the grand design? In a world of lies, only the sharpest mind reigns supreme. (Some grammatical errors at the beginning chapters. It is fixed later on!)
Finding the Fallen by tmmartin74
26 parts Complete Mature
Kala had always thought of herself as normal, but when the world ended, cleansed by a power most would fail to understand, she realized she was far from normal. That day, Kala awoke in a fog surrounded by a nothingness that permeated every pore of her body. The only sounds she could hear were her own ragged breaths in the vast and empty darkness. When the light finally returned, she found herself utterly alone and suddenly part of a struggle much bigger than she'd ever thought possible. With that struggle came something else...power. Power to control the elements. Power the likes of which she had only seen in movies or read about in books. Despite her disbelief, it remained...right there in the palms of her hands. Eventually Kala learned to use her power as it was intended. As she wandered the new world, she met others like herself, other Servants with similar abilities who understood the reason for the destruction...for the loss. And then, six years after her world turned upside down, she met him. A handsome stranger in a tiny town in the middle of the West Virginia woods - not a Servant - not like her. And certainly not the type of man Kala had expected to find herself falling for. But the man she met there turned out to be more than just a hero in her time of need. At her side, he would become a protector, leader, confidant, and so much more. Together, they would find themselves fighting a growing evil...a man like Kala, who had been granted power beyond words or description. He might have been a good man once, but his fall was nearly complete. And now he desired only to rule - not to heal. This man would lead a small army against them, but they wouldn't have to fight alone. There was another, more powerful force on their side...one that could change the course of the war to come.
