As the nodes of destiny continued to flicker and pulse with an ominous energy, the main protagonists known as Jack keeps awakening into dreams that he thinks are his reality. 

Outside these strange dimensions are a group of powerful beings known as "The Watchers." They gathered in their celestial observatory outside the "Universal Spheres", observing the time breaks as the dreamer, dreams on and they were running out-of time. But they could see every pathway and if they intervened...there would be no hope for humanity or the Universal Spheres and everything within it...

The Labyrinth Keys by matthewp118
23 parts Ongoing
In the sprawling waste zones of Ashfield, a city choked by the refuse of a broken society, Jack Vesper sorts through discarded junk with no real future in sight. At 25, he's just another misfit, another person tossed aside by the world, now working a grueling job as a garbage sorter. The days are monotonous, but when he stumbles upon a strange, black metal sphere buried deep in the trash, everything changes. Curious, Jack presses a hidden button on the sphere, releasing a small black chip into his hand. It feels heavy with mystery and potential, too precise to be just another piece of discarded tech. With no one else around on a slow Saturday shift, Vesper pockets the chip and continues his work, unaware that this seemingly insignificant object is about to pull him into a new, dangerous world. Jack's curiosity gets the better of him, and he travels to a long-forgotten lab on the outskirts of the city. The lab, once a hub for cutting-edge research, is now abandoned, its halls lined with old maps, blueprints, and cryptic notes. As he begins to study the charts, he discovers a book of labyrinths spanning the globe-labyrinths not just made of stone, but of technology and power, their existence hidden from the world. Some of these labyrinths hold secrets of unimaginable value; others, unfathomable dangers. The chip seems to be a key-a gateway into these labyrinths. As Jack begins to piece together the labyrinth's secrets, he realizes that it could lead him to a power unlike anything the world has ever known. But with that power comes the threat of those who would stop at nothing to control it. The line between friend and foe blurs, and Vesper must navigate not only the physical maze but the twisted web of secrets and lies surrounding him. The adventure begins with one small chip-and the future depends on what Jack discovers within the labyrinth's depths.

To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself.

Lost Among the Peaks by Roses_4500
1 part Ongoing
This story follows Alex, a young boy who is unexpectedly thrust into a world of danger and mystery when he is pursued by a group known as the Hunters. Initially, Alex believes he's just an ordinary kid, but as the story unfolds, he learns that he's connected to something far greater-something ancient and powerful. The Hunters are after him because of what he is, not just who he is, and they believe he holds the key to a power that could reshape the world. As Alex journeys through the mountains with his companion, Jack, he faces increasingly perilous situations. Along the way, Jack reveals pieces of the truth-Alex is not just any ordinary person, but someone who holds a power that others want to exploit. Jack has been protecting him for years, keeping him in the dark for his safety, but now, with the Hunters closing in, Alex must make a choice: continue running and hiding, or face the truth about himself and the power within him. Throughout the story, Alex grapples with the weight of his newfound identity and the responsibility that comes with it. The mountains, the storm, and the constant pursuit of the Hunters serve as metaphors for Alex's inner journey-he must confront the parts of himself he's been avoiding, understand his purpose, and make a stand against those who would use his power for destruction. In the end, Alex chooses to face his fate head-on, no longer running from what he is, but embracing the strength and potential he has inside. The story is about self-discovery, overcoming fear, and stepping into one's true power in the face of overwhelming odds.

In the beginning, we are together... Rania Fellows is an orphan. She has been ever since her parents dropped her off at a police station, rambling about her being cursed. Because of this, people have one of two reactions to Rania: they are enchanted by her or they are terrified of her. Most of her foster siblings won't look her in the eye and in the eyes of her peers, she's a freak. The one thing Rania looks forward to is sleep, because then she can dream of Xerxion, the handsome male warrior from another planet who is her Consort and has sworn to love her for all time. However, when the dreams intensify and Xerxion turns out to be more than just some man her mind conjured up, Rania will discover a whole new world filled with infinite possibilities and even more danger. In this world no one is what they seem, dark is light and love can last across galaxies.
