On his way to prepare his business for an important opening ceremony, Alex Vance is overwhelmed by a bright light shining from a crystalline tower, a building he swears he's never seen before. But no one in his life agrees with him, some saying it's been there for years, some saying it was built recently, some saying it can't possibly matter. The one constant reaction from everyone that Alex finds is not what anyone knows, but that no one wants to know. This aversion to his curiosity fuels Alex's search until it becomes an obsession. He becomes certain that the building holds secrets, secrets of its own, and, perhaps, secrets about Alex himself. But will he uncover any secrets at all? Or will he lose everything he's built as his obsession spirals? Or, worse-will he do both?

143 parts Complete
No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series. New chapters will be posted on Fridays for as long as it takes to tell the whole story. For Wattpad only, chapters are split up by individual scenes-if you would prefer the whole chapters in single pieces, please visit my homepage or another site where I post this story, thanks!

The 13th Prince: Wielder of Light and Darkness

16 parts Complete Mature

What happens when the most powerful force in existence is given to someone who never wanted to wield it? Born a commoner, raised as a scholar, and thrust into a world of politics, royalty, and power, Aric lies within him the Epitome of Darkness, and he also holds the Power of Light, a duality no one in history has ever controlled. Aric stands at the heart of a balance no mortal was meant to wield. As war looms and ancient horrors rise, Aric must master his gift before it consumes him. But how does one control something that exists beyond the laws of nature? How does one remain human when wielding the power of gods? And when the time comes, will Aric be Valerya's salvation or its destruction?
