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?All Rights Reserved

Never Fire [ONC2020] by Tweeter109

Sienna Diaz has lived the life of a nameless face, a retreater from threats, and a thief of lives. Every time she lights a match, she is transported to another world. Surviving as a woman with many pasts and identities, she can hardly call herself her own. Despite her desire for control, however, the fire -- her matches -- remain her only escape. But as a pawn to the universe and to the flames themselves, Sienna finds that escape is only a delay of the inevitable: a life of wandering and loneliness. After an accident, another burnt match Sienna lands in a new world where Fire is an entity, a deity to its citizens. The opportunity is clear: overpower Fire and rewrite her identity. This time, starting afresh would be real and permanent. Settled. But this Fire is unpredictable and temperamental, worshipped by his priests and guarded in his own temple like a treasure. When Sienna Diaz was younger and still lived in a place she remembered as Nevada, her parents told her to never play with fire. She agreed -- no, she would never play with it. She would kill it. *Open Novella Contest 2020 Entry* *Awesome cover by @CelticWarriorQueen17*

Virtual Reality Rebels by AnaMaria380008

"In the not-so-distant future, where the boundaries between the real world and the virtual one blur into obscurity, a group of audacious teenagers dares to defy the status quo. Welcome to a world where pixels are the new reality, and the metaverse is king. Meet Alex, a tech-savvy misfit with a rebellious spirit, who stumbles upon a hidden secret that could shatter the digital illusion. It all starts innocently enough with a glitch in the code, a whisper of something amiss in the flawless façade of their virtual existence. But as the anomaly beckons, curiosity turns to obsession, and Alex can't resist the urge to unravel the truth. Joined by a diverse crew of fellow hackers, gamers, and digital outlaws, they embark on an electrifying quest to pierce the veil of the virtual world. Along the way, they'll encounter enigmatic AIs, navigate treacherous dungeons, and unearth cryptic messages left by a shadowy figure known only as "The Architect." As the lines between their augmented reality and the tangible one blur, they must confront a stark reality: some secrets are better left buried in the code. The future of humanity hangs in the balance, and the clock is ticking. But in a world where the digital and physical collide, where virtual friends become real allies, Alex and their companions are about to discover that their rebellion against the virtual regime has far-reaching consequences they could never have imagined. Will they unveil the ultimate truth, or will the digital realm consume them before they can break free? One thing's for sure: The revolution begins here."

On the Hive Dreadnought, Oryx heard his son's last words before his untimely death at the hands of Max Prodigy.

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.

Over half the world's population fell to the new world order. Zaphrina is a Nomad Healer in the Golden Arena. Not having the restrictions of a guild has its perks and pays better.

Salvage ~ V1: Nuts and Bolts (Steampunk/ Gaslamp Romantasy ~ FxM, MxM) by avaseofpeonies

A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world. Magic, mad science, multicultural ambiance, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M. For mature audiences, 18+. ~~~*~~~ All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people. Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use. Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last? She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her - especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family? Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister - and the rekindling of an old flame. ~~~*~~~ Please see the introduction for detailed content warnings.

Revolution (Book 3 of POE Chronicles) by shadowcheah

(This is book 3 of the P.O.E. Chronicles, Read book 1 Evolution and book 2 Selection if you haven't already) I never wanted a war. All I wanted to do was to get things back to the way they were and to keep those I love safe. But it turns out that everything was just an illusion, that the reality I lived in was all but a lie. That world was no place to live, and in order to make a better future, a future that so many have sacrificed so much to try and archive before me, I had to fight. And to do that I needed to find out the truth, no matter what horrors lie beneath it. The web of lies, of secrecy, of betrayal, is spun so far, so fine, so wide that I had been seeing only a corner of it. I didn't know if I have the strength to go on, but I know that if I don't step up, the world as we have known it will end. If you asked her four years ago what she imagined herself doing in the future, Abigail Beckett could safely tell you that it doesn't involve political meetings, living in an ancient castle and seeking advice from a three hundred years old Original. Having discovered her roots, she had inherited the responsibility to make sure the world doesn't end by the terrorist group Apocalypse and make peace among POE and Legres. With the fate of many of her friends still uncertain, she must race against time to uncover the Apocalypse's plan, pacify the government, and tried not to get killed by her grandmother.
