The City of Light started out as a small town called Fold's Den on the east coast of the United States. From humble beginnings of supernaturals coming together from all over the world, it became a sort of safe haven for all. In 350 years, it's grown from said "humble beginnings" into a bustling city, a city where all supernaturals are welcome and free from persecution, and a city where humans and supernaturals alike are welcome and free to live as they please, given they follow the rules.

However... Something darker lurks beneath the surface.

Now, more than ever, the city is on the brink of an all-out war. Old bonds have come into question, and secrets about the city's history are soon to be unearthed. Who was right and who was wrong?

Instinct by 43616b6573

(This novel is under revision as of 2-5-19 up until I feel the true motivation to scrub through most of my older work.

The end of animals, most of nature, technology and everything that advanced in between. After Earth's destruction a new life began with the survivors of the near extinction of humanity. They constructed a singular civilization encased in a wall for protection from outside forces, built on the hope to reproduce and thrive with the life they were forced into. Zykard would be the start of a second life for humans But within that time of rebirth some of the survivors surged with horrors of Pre-Reearth. Heresy, treachery, riots, thefts, murders and revolutions. A need to for order was introduced, and brought about the leader of Zykard and seven factions of ten people. A thousand years later theres a change. An outsider appears and seemingly becomes the new leader of Zykard, bringing more hardships with their hopes. Crimson, a seventeen year old girl faces the verge of adulthood. The final trials being the only gap between her new reality. A new injection to be given to everyone after the trials. She will face the ugly second face of what Zykard really is behind the curtains. Face pain she never thought would be possible and lose what she loves the most.

The War In His Mind by AndrewPurdum

After war devastated the United States, a survivor buried himself deep underground in a cryostasis chamber connected to a digital world- Wonder City. Dedicated to creating a perfect society, Thomas O'Neil transported his consciousness to the city and dedicated his life to creating a better world. But there's a major catch- everyone in the world is an exact clone of him without any emotions, passions, or original thoughts. Everyone is created through "The Code", a computer code designed to create people and assign jobs. For years it's worked flawlessly, filling Wonder City full of workers and civilians. The society was successful. Until one day when a glitch in the code created the first clone with emotions and thoughts- #937. Angry and determined to have free will, 937 sets out on a path to create a better world from the ashes of the old empire. What happens when the city of the future becomes a world that O'Neil can't contain? Welcome to Wonder City. Welcome to the future. **** Please keep in mind that this is a first draft. Many details, paragraphs, and chapters will inevitably change between this and the final version. There's still lots to be smoothed out. Thank you for understanding! I'm very open to suggestions! -Andrew Purdum

X-Ordinary by CSW1995

Menage -MFM- Jace and Snyper fall for the enemy, XO. Full blurb: X-Ordinary, is trashed - literally - she was a failed illegal experiment by the rouge scientist Vesva. All failures end up in the trash heap of Atlantis - a landfill so toxic most citizens avoid the area. XO is saved when Jace and Snyper find her coffin. XO has been designed to be a weapon, through superior gene inserts, a technology banned two centuries ago, but she's now a product of it's manifestation. Legally, she shouldn't exist. She can't exist. And that's what the Earth will order - her immediate extermination. Unless the Ultimates decide to help her. Ultimates who exist from the same tech when it was legal. The truth is there's not much they can do to protect her, now that the Earth is run by an advanced democracy and tightly controlled peace councils. One fact remains certain. Jace and Snyper saved her life - and they're not going to let anyone take it away from her again.

The Battle of Our Minds: Flesh and Blood by cschindler1996

One of the most common wonders of the human existence is, "Why do good people do bad things?" The answer: an epic battle in the heavenly realms rages on between the Light and the Darkness with each passing minute. A battle that humans - well, most humans - can't see. The Darkness works to influence our souls, creating selfishness, resentment, anger, and hatred. The Light works to expose the Darkness for what it really is: an influence straight from Hell. These two opposing forces each have their own means of waging warfare. Nephilim, creatures of the Light, have been given the mission to fight against the demons of Darkness that bid humanity to do their will. Unfortunately, not all Nephilim want to accept this mission, favoring a mission entirely of their own. A secret society of Nephilim - human descendants of angels - operates at New City University. This secret society, the Five Minds, is made up of organized cohorts establishing each of their roles - the historians, the delegators, the advocates, the healers, and the perceivers - based on their angelic abilities. Together, these Nephilim serve the Light by fighting the demons of Darkness, otherwise known as fallen angels, by intervening when the demons coerce or possess humans into doing their will. While their operation has been straightforward for the past century, something is stirring in their quaint college town. Unprecedented violence is threatening everything they've worked for. As an uprising grows from within the security of their network, the Five Minds begins to discover that the demons' reach not only extends to humans, but to Nephilim as well.

First to Rise (Excerpt) by Bioshockgrl

The aliens came here for one thing, and one thing only.... Females. ( This story is only available through inkitt or galatea!!!) (some read events may apply) (check update chapter for more details!) Humans believed they were the only intelligent life to exist... that it was impossible for another species to evolve in a way where they could prevail in something as great as space travel. humans believed they were supposed to be the most technologically advanced species and the alpha predators... They were wrong. The Xandisians evolved in ways humans never could have imagined, they are natural-born killers with phenomenal strength and agility. Their kind never went through the same devolution as humans, they never lost their natural instincts to hunt, kill, or breed. With their limitless potential and monstrous strength, they faced few threats and could survive almost any threat that befall their species, almost. After an incurable sickness washes over the planet of xanadis, the majority of the female, young and elderly, and vulnerable population is all but wiped out, leaving a small portion of the male population to face the threat of extinction. With no choice but to look to the stars for a means to save their kind from complete annihilation, the xandisians set out to find a race compatible with their own. after many years and countless failed expeditions, they finally find a species that matches their base DNA on a planet called Earth. The only issue now is how humans will react. (Book 2 LTF series) (CAN be read as a stand alone, but not recommended for nostalgia reasons~) (ps this is UNEDITED, grammar and spelling mistakes will ensue!) (NOTE: THIS IS ITS OWN STORY NOT A CONTINUATION. SAME CHARACTERS BUT DIFFERENT PLOT.)(Last to fall au/spin-off)

My Past or Present! by background21

A Past and Present definitely involve the people in it, but they both have more than that to offer. The situations, the choices made for you and the choices made by you in the past were and the choices would be made for you and by you in the present are as important as the people. Is it possible to fight everything in the past and engulf the present? Or will the external factors will delay the desired result of such fight even after going through the fight? The story of another confused person who is self misjudged and misjudged by others in a whole level or maybe only partly. Let us see whether the light can reach the person's heart while giving it to the other due to just a coincidence like the person thinks. --------------- note: need to read Past or Present to under stand this better...
