In "Velocity: The Whirling World," embark on an extraordinary journey into a world gripped by a cosmic cataclysm. As the Earth whirls thirty times faster, Dr. Ma. Lourdes Magdasoc and Dr. Froilan Madrigalejos lead a courageous team of scientists in a race against time. Chaos reigns as entire cities hurtle through the atmosphere, and governments grapple with the challenge of governing in constant motion.

Amidst this turmoil, magnetic stabilizers emerge as humanity's last hope. Towers, colossal and strategically placed, become the anchors in this perpetual storm, mitigating the devastating effects of the heightened rotation. Days become mere minutes, nights fleeting interludes, and the ecosystem strains to adapt.

Rhea Endrina, a voice of concern in this new reality, questions how humanity can endure. Yet, Dr. Madrigalejos reassures that resilience is inherent, and cities reinvent themselves with vertical architectures. In the midst of this whirlwind, Xiao Villaralbo offers a temporary escape through virtual reality, a refuge from the ceaseless motion outside.

As a new generation emerges, born into perpetual motion, artists like Rene Oliva find inspiration in the chaos, creating mesmerizing works that capture the essence of their transformed world. Eureka Robey, a viewer captivated by the artwork, sees wonder amidst the upheaval.

Humanity endures, communities band together, and the cataclysm becomes a catalyst for change. Dr. Madrigalejos challenges a gathering of scientists and visionaries to not just survive but thrive, to embrace the unknown. Dr. Magdasoc echoes his sentiments, declaring velocity both an enemy and an opportunity.

"The Unraveling Whirlwind" is a tale of resilience, creativity, and the strength to thrive in the face of extraordinary challenges. Join humanity as they navigate this whirling world, forever embracing the wild ride that is their transformed existence.

Sexy, hilarious, and brimming with chemistry, Fanyin's journey isn't just about the worlds she's thrown into. Who is behind the system, and what grand design is forcing her to complete these quests? Is there a deeper truth she's being led to discover, or is it all part of a cosmic game?

But something about him keeps pulling her back in every world. Is it just coincidence, or is there a deeper reason behind these encounters? With snark, steam, and sparks flying, Fanyin must figure out the game-before her heart loses control. Why her? Why him? And who's really pulling the strings?

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier
30 parts Complete
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.

A goddess is taken to the underworld as the king's bride; her father knew everything and her mother knew nothing. In this retelling of the Hymn of Demeter, mother and daughter will do whatever it takes to free themselves, no matter the cost. Book I of The Triple Moons' Chronicles * Up in the sky, in a world between myths and lies, lives a daughter caged on an island. She is Persephone. The beautiful Persephone, whom every Olympian god wants to marry-they all want her beauty to conceal their ugliest secrets, but only Hades manages to take her to his realm. He dwells below the earth, across the river Styx, between Tartarus and the Isle of Blest. No mortals can see his forbidden land until they pass away. Forced into marriage by her father Zeus, Persephone would resign from her fate. But when her grieving mother, Demeter, comes close to killing all the mortals, Zeus orders her back to her homeland. Given and returned against her will, Persephone takes charge of her life and eats six pomegranate seeds before leaving. Food from the underworld can't be eaten as it will tie one to the land. As her decision pushes her closer together and apart from her loved ones, Persephone's destiny turns worse. Only she may have the power to change her world for the better. *** CW: While written in a lyrical style, this story is advised for mature audiences only.

10 parts Complete
In a cyberpunk future where the Earth is on the brink of collapse, the virtual world of 'Fountellion' offers humanity a final chance to confront a rogue AI and reshuffle its own imbalanced priorities. Can a game really achieve this? But this is no ordinary game. Fountellion is artificially alive, its ecosystem evolving, its seasons shifting, and its balance hanging by a thread. Raze, a disaffected player from the neon-drenched streets of London, stumbles upon a mysterious key that grants them access to this strange, untamed realm. Guided by the enigmatic Greenwise, Raze must re-navigate the island's regions, each tied to a forgotten aspect of the human spirit. Along the way, he will unlock Insights - powerful truths about nature, survival, and his own soul. But Fountellion is not without its dangers. The Bleak Lord Muse, a shadowy NPC figure born from humanity's ambition for control and power, seeks to corrupt the island and bend it to its will, which extends beyond the game itself. His Stokers - twisted, stolen avatars - hunt those who stray too far from the path, draining their Energy and turning them into soulless servants of Bleakmuse's unknown designs. As Raze progresses, he must choose: Will he succumb to the lure of control, or will he embrace the wisdom of the Insights and restore balance to Fountellion? The journey will test his survival skills, his connection to the land, and his very humanity. In this immersive, postmodern world where nature and technology collide, 'Fountellion: Echoes of Bleakmuse' is a gripping tale of discovery, danger, and the search for meaning in a world on the edge of destruction.' ----- Fans of cyberpunk, virtual reality, and environmental storytelling will be drawn into Fountellion, and beyond...
To the Well-Organized Mind by AyndhriaSoung
41 parts Complete Mature
After Earth is ravaged by climate change and the Cataclysm-the largest earthquake in history- humans are struggling to survive. Swathes of unlivable landscapes, the Barrens, continue to grow. Everywhere else is a battleground, where humans fight each other for food, water, and shelter. Humanity's numbers further dwindle as they fall victim to a new bacteria unearthed by the Cataclysm, Dementium feralis. It causes humans to lose their higher cognitive functions and turn feral, like the primates they originated from. There is no cure. Nia is a survivor of this world. She makes a living doing the riskiest endeavors-traveling the Barrens, collecting survivors, and hunting for the remaining vaccines that can help delay feralism. People are in awe of her willingness to risk her life, but it's easy when your days are numbered, and hers are. She's turning feral. However, her latest foray into the Barrens leads to an incredible discovery: someone with the potential to create a feralism cure. But it takes time and risk to create a cure, without promise of a payout. To Nia, some fates are worse than death, and the only absolute is the oblivion of feralism awaiting her. She must choose what to embrace: the feralism that could be humanity's only survival, or the risk for a cure. **** Now available on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/Well-Organized-Mind-Andrea-Soung/dp/B0C6BQTZ2B/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=Fl3EC&content-id=amzn1.sym.ed85217c-14c9-4aa0-b248-e47393e2ce12&pf_rd_p=ed85217c-14c9-4aa0-b248-e47393e2ce12&pf_rd_r=139-9204535-3864644&pd_rd_wg=rvk9V&pd_rd_r=1a892e06-01ad-4e5e-802a-e856a57daf20&ref_=aufs_ap_sc_dsk **** Cover art compiled by Andrea Soung Man image credit: https://pixabay.com/illustrations/man-destruction-double-exposure-1519665/ Wasteland image credit: https://pixabay.com/illustrations/landscape-scenery-nature-deserts-6880552/

"Once you know the truth, there's no going back." Bellamy is just another orphan living in the Dauntless Faction. She's just trying to survive, she doesn't care about the government of her world. When faced with treachery, rebellion, and the knowledge that something far worse is out there, Bellamy is forced to confront what it means to really be brave. And then there's the matter of WICKED. She knows that there's something far more sinister going on. She just didn't realize that it was world-changing. Ripped away from Chicago, Bellamy finds herself without her memories and stuck in a Maze. Finding the fire within, she'll have to figure out just how to survive in a world where being brave means that you're probably going to be killed. Then there was the Capitol, the one place she thinks might just be the end of everything she's ever known. There's no way to fix something that you've broken beyond repair. She'll have to pay for those choices, for those mistakes, for the people that she's saved. After all, how could one little choice change everything? All credit goes to the creators of the Hunger Games, Divergent, and the Maze Runner. I only own Bellamy and my other OC's/their original plotlines and dialogue!
