cyber darkfantasy fantasy futuristic post-apocalyptic sciencefiction scifi

In the vast sprawl of the cyberpunk city of Neo-Etheros, magic entwines itself with the latest technology. This kind of metropolis stirs beneath the surface, driven by some very ancient and mysterious power now awoken: The Obsidian Arc-an AI that had been dormant for so long, designed for the merging of arcane power and artificial intelligence, holding within itself the keys to gargantuan and world-altering power-but its awakening may unleash chaos across the city and beyond.

A tragic past reluctantly draws former bounty hunter Zeph Voss into the hunt. Together, the brilliant mage Liora Thorne, with her own dark ambitions, and rogue technomancer Kaelis-a man riddled with failure-must navigate a city rife with corruption, dangerous syndicates, and hidden magical forces.

As they unravel the mysteries of The Obsidian Arc, the three must confront the enigmatic Veiled Syndicate, who seeks to master the AI and establish their own dominion over Neo-Etheros. Betrayals from the past resurface, forcing Zeph, Liora, and Kaelis ever deeper into their own inner demons and the fragile trust residing between them.

As the clock winds down, and the Syndicate closes in on them, they will need to decide whether to harness The Obsidian Arc for themselves or destroy it before any wrong hands get the chance to turn around and use it on them-before the very fabric of reality gets torn asunder by a meeting of magic and machine.

In a world filled with both technology and the arcane, can they survive against the darkness binding them into The Obsidian Arc? Or will the unimaginable power it holds consume the city and everything they have fought for?Todos los derechos reservados

Destiny: Plagues of Darkness de TheVirtualWarlock74

Max Prodigy is finally awake; his past memories have been restored and he realizes his true potential as The Warlock. But his teammates aren't so sure: Cass thinks he's breaking the law as an uncontrollable monster, while Jess, Kaden, and Shin wants him to be his honest self. To make matters worse, the City and its Guardians are dividing themselves over political power and how to use it. On the Hive Dreadnought, Oryx heard his son's last words before his untimely death at the hands of Max Prodigy. With anger and hatred fueling his Sword, Ecthar the Willbreaker, and a mindless Taken army at his beckoned call, the newly appointed Taken King marches to avenge his son and bring about a new universe under his rule. An alt-right group known as the Concordat is scared of Max Prodigy's awakening. In response, Lysander has awakened an ancient project known as SIVA from the bowels of the Cosmodrome. The project has spread itself into every corner of Old Russia, threatening to overtake the world, with Lysander at the throne. And underneath all of that, darker plots unfold as an old Cabal Legion begins to rise from his ashes. Max must keep the City united through its perils, but will he have the strength to do what's right, again?

Stuck in the Elevator Again | ONC 2022 de wolfyfoxieandotters

COMPLETED Roselyn is heading for her first-ever interview for one of the world's top enterprises. Being late, she steps into an almost-empty elevator and is attracted to the handsome man in a gray suit that compliments his electric blue eyes. She, of course, doesn't start any conversation between them. They are strangers after all, and she is not tempted to flirt with some random guy despite her interest. However, everything changes when the elevator gets stuck on the 70th floor... - - - 𝑇ℎ𝑢𝑚𝑝. 𝑇ℎ𝑢𝑚𝑝. 𝑇ℎ𝑢𝑚𝑝. As I'm aware of my surroundings now, the banging only adds to my trepidation. My tense jaw muscles tick as I grate my molars. 𝐶𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑘. 𝐶𝑙𝑢𝑛𝑘. That is the sound of metal breaking. I am sure of it. But what's outside? The maintenance crew? The firefighters? My lungs start constricting again. Stop. I have to stop overthinking. It's going to be fine. 𝑀𝑢𝑛𝑐ℎ. 𝑆𝑡𝑜𝑚𝑝. 𝐺𝑟𝑜𝑎𝑛. Light comes through the tiny puncture. First a beam, then a shaft, finally a gap. Fingers situate themselves onto the elevator floor. Blood-red cover the tips. Why will there be red paint on fingers? A long-lost dreadfulness pours into every pore of my body as a grim augury preoccupies my distressed mind. I unconsciously scoot to the back of the elevator, pressing my body close to Mr. Uburg's as I cling onto his robust arm. Hands grip onto the elevator door and use bare strength to rip the metal further apart. Then, a blood-plastered face comes into view. His bloodshot eyes bore into me with hunger. Patches of flesh on his forehead and cheek are torn. His nose is gone, replaced by a seeping wound. His teeth are crimson, a piece of fiber in between the gap of his incisors. What frightens me most is the emotion in his eyes. The craving for flesh and blood. The desire to fulfill his hunger. I do the only reasonable thing. I scream.

The hidden heir:Beyond the crown de Anyashade

In the high-tech, magic-touched kingdom of **Aurelia**, every royal is born into the spotlight - except one. **Princess Elara Vale**, the youngest child of the royal family, was hidden from the world after a prophecy declared she would "awaken what was lost." To keep her safe, her parents erased her existence from public records. She grew up surrounded by love from her siblings but always behind walls, longing to see the world for herself. When her secret is accidentally leaked, Elara runs away - not in rebellion, but in search of freedom, identity, and purpose. In the neon city of **Ravenport**, she meets **Kael Arden**, a quiet mechanic with no memory of his childhood and a strange amulet that glows in her presence. As they form a bond, they're joined by a group of unexpected friends - a hacker, a healer, and a street magician - each searching for their own truth. Together, they discover that Kael is the lost prince of the long-vanished Shadow Realm, kidnapped at birth, and that the prophecy ties both of them to the future of their worlds. Through their journey, Elara learns what it means to live beyond a title. Kael learns what it means to belong. And their friends - ordinary people with extraordinary hearts - become the family they choose. It's a story about **finding friendship, courage, and self-worth** in a world that often defines you by what you were born to be - not who you choose to become.

Night Disease de kipekipe

REVISED EDITION COMING OUT MONTHLY/COMPLETED In a world overrun by zombies, A single bite heralds doom - except for Kaindra, who defies death itself, being undead already. ******** As humanity struggles to adapt to the new reality of zombies-infested streets and lurking supernatural creatures from ancient myths and legends, survival becomes an ever-evolving challenge. Survival is a constant battle not only against the undead but also against supernatural creatures and their zealous followers. The relentless onslaught of zombies and the mysterious reemergence of mythical beings push society to its limits. Civilization's last bastions fall one by one, teetering on the brink of collapse. As these ancient myths awaken, they reveal intentions that are far from clear- some may hold the key to salvation, while others could herald further doom. The question remains: Can humanity unravel the mysteries of these legendary beings in time to save themselves, or will they fall prey to the very legends they once dismissed? ___ Excerpt: Taking a deep breath, I lean closer to the mirror, my skin prickling. I thought it was a trick of the light, but as I stare at my reflection, my fragile lies crumble away. The reflection staring back at me feels unrecognizable. My once deep, dark brown eyes now glimmer with an otherworldly light, like twin moons suspended in a sea of silver. The faint glow within them swirls softly, catching the dim flicker of flame I summoned, like ripples across a moonlit lake. Their alien intensity sends a chill down my spine. The orbs seemed to hold a universe within, depths of endless mysteries and ancient wisdom beyond my grasp. ___ Warning: Mentions of suicide and self-harm Beautiful cover made by @scmimi.

Lunar Virus ✔️ de its_really_not

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!

Together they ride through ruined cities and overgrown highways, dodging death, hunting supplies, and navigating the raw ache of survival.

They just might have to. -this story contains violence, gore, sexual content, and mature themes. It is not suitable for readers under 18.

The Obsidian Academy de 001sluttyprincess

In a world where the line between magic and madness is razor-thin, The Obsidian Academy is a place of brutal education for the young and the gifted. Located on the fringes of reality, the academy trains its students not only in arcane magic but in the darker arts of manipulation, control, and subversion. Here, the stakes are not just high-they are existential. Every student is forced to confront their own demons, both internal and external, and survive the trials that test their limits. Alara Greyraven, a young woman with a past she can't remember, is reluctantly enrolled at the Academy after an inexplicable event marks her as one of the "chosen." With no knowledge of why she's here or what she's meant to do, Alara must navigate the tangled webs of deception, betrayal, and forbidden desires that pervade every corner of the school. Alongside her are a select group of outcasts and misfits who, for reasons they cannot explain, have been bound to her fate. The rules of the Academy are simple: Power is the ultimate currency. Survival is a game-and the players must sacrifice everything to win. Magic here is not just about spells; it's about power, influence, and control over both the living and the dead. As Alara uncovers the truths buried within the academy's obsidian walls, she must decide who she can trust-and who she can use-for her own ascent to the top. But in a place where nothing is ever truly what it seems, she must also confront whether the price of power is too great to pay.

A Different Virus - Laura's Story de CrystalScherer

This is a second view point from my original story - A Different Virus - Heartfire. I highly advise reading the original book first. Intro: Laura was a happy child without a care in the world. She loved her parents and life was perfect. Nothing seemed like it could go wrong. People started talking about a bad flu that was spreading and sending some into a coma. Her parents grew worried and stocked the house in case of a pandemic. Months later another virus appeared. Her family was shocked when the news people started reporting that zombies were actually real and not just part of a horror movie. They were appearing in every country. Her parents reassured her that none of the zombie sightings had been anywhere close to them. Her life is turned upside down when her father ends up in hospital with the bad flu and mother exiles her upstairs for her safety. She was never allowed downstairs again. Weeks pass and the streets become deserted with the exception of the red eyed zombies that wandered around. One night she notices a swiftly moving figure with glowing blue eyes in the street below. Should she call out or remain silent? Is this fleeting shadow something that can help her or could this mysterious figure be even more dangerous than the zombies themselves? ---------------------- Ranked #1 Apr 10, 2018 (A huge thank you to all who read and voted!)

The One True King de lilcoop20

In the neon-drenched depths of *Neo-Abyss*, the last surviving city of humanity, dragons prowl the skies, their bodies infused with bio-mechanical enhancements. The streets are filled with mutated beasts, cyber-enhanced monstrosities, and creatures warped by genetic experimentation. The underbelly of the city is ruled by warring factions-hunters, syndicates, and rogue sorcerers who wield arcane cyber-magic alongside black-market augmentations. But in the heart of the chaos stands *Kairo*, a Black Hunter marked by prophecy. His dreadlocks, woven with ancient techno-spirits, surge with power-each strand infused with the strength of legendary kings before him. They twist like living serpents when he fights, forming impenetrable shields, devastating whips, and unlocking abilities beyond imagination. Kairo's journey is one of ascension. To claim his throne, he must defeat the towering cyber-dragon *Zephyrion*, whose wings crackle with electric storms. He must navigate the labyrinth of *The Void Market*, where shadow brokers barter in souls, and battle through the *Elder Trials*, where forgotten gods lurk. As his powers grow, so does the weight of his destiny. To become *The One True King*, Kairo must unite the fractured hunters, tame the chaos, and face the ultimate enemy-the *Null Sovereign*, a being who thrives on consuming the dreams of those who dare to ascend. But in a world where magic merges with circuitry and steel, nothing is certain-except that legends are forged in neon and blood.
