Lost in ruins. Hunted by something unseen.

The only way out is through.

Alex wakes on a dead world with no memories, a glowing shard in his pocket, and a strange interface embedded in his skin. The HUD says "survive." But the planet-Nocthera-whispers in ancient circuitry and fractured visions, and something in the dark is following him.

Ruins pulse with forgotten power. Echo Pools show him things he shouldn't know. And the Nexus, buried deep beneath the sands, stirs as if it remembers him.

As reality twists and the past begins to bleed through, Alex is forced to question everything-who he is, why he was brought here, and what it means to be chosen by a power that was never meant for him.

The Nexus is waking.
And it does not forget.

Two Thousand Years | The Empire Saga #1 by druidrose
57 parts Complete
Welcome to the Empire. Where the Prophecy is law, and betrayal is the only way to survive it. ***** Two thousand years ago, the Prophecy of Fire and Light foretold the coming of the Queen Empress who would lead the Empire into a time of peace and tranquility. But instead of the coming of a prosperous world, a forbidden love for the Empress waged a war that ravaged the land, creating a chasm between the factions, raising the death toll of innocent lives until the final, bloody battle. Centuries later, Alexandra, a twenty-two-year-old barista living in Boston, is taken to an unfamiliar realm of mystery and magic where her life is threatened by Reylor, its banished Lord Steward. She crosses paths with Treyan, the arrogant and seductive Crown Prince of the Empire, and together they discover how their lives, and their love, are so intricately intertwined by a Prophecy set in motion so many years ago. Alex, now the predestined Queen Empress Alexstrayna, whose arrival was foretold by the Annals of the Empire, controls the fate of her new home as war rages between the Crown Prince and Lord Steward. Either choice could tear her world apart as she attempts to keep the Empire's torrid history from repeating itself. In a realm where betrayal and revenge will be as crucial to her survival as love and honor, Alex must discover whether it is her choice - or her fate - that determines how she survives the Empire's rising conflicts.

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.
