Ground Zero is a dark fantasy novel centered around Leon Evergreen, a young man who becomes trapped in a permanent reincarnation game called Ground Zero, developed by the mysterious company Alviant. Upon entering the game, Leon is reborn as Alexander Stein, losing all connection to the real world.

Alexander possesses a rare and terrifying ability called Afterlife, which activates upon his death. This ability resurrects him after death, but with a cruel twist-he feels the pain of every past death all at once with each revival. Unbeknownst to the world, only Alexander possesses this ability, making him a figure of great mystery and danger.

As Alexander struggles to survive and understand his place in this world, factions react to his unexplained survivals:

The Wardens hunt him, believing his repeated survivals are unnatural.

The Glitchborn sense something different about him, drawn by his anomaly.

The Forsaken are lost souls bound to pain, visible only to Alexander, and they seek to teach him how to harness his torment-or be consumed by it.


The world itself holds secrets tied to the origins of Ground Zero and the true nature of Afterlife. Alexander must uncover the truth while mastering his deadly gift, balancing the risk of losing his humanity with the need to survive.

Themes of pain, perseverance, and identity drive Alexander's journey as he fights to control his power while factions close in, questioning whether he's a hero, a monster, or something far worse.All Rights Reserved

Echoes Of Survival by leya1akay

After years of drifting in the vastness of space aboard the Arc, humanity's last refuge is on the brink of collapse. The oxygen supply is dwindling, and with no other options left, a desperate decision is made: to return to Earth-a planet long abandoned after a cataclysmic solar apocalypse scorched its surface and altered its environment forever. A small group of survivors, led by former officers, scientists, and civilians, descend to Earth, each bringing unique skills and haunted pasts. They find a world both familiar and terrifyingly new. The sun's relentless radiation has twisted the landscape into something wild and unpredictable, while the remnants of humanity, now known as "grounders," have adapted in brutal ways to survive. Thrown into this unforgiving world, the group must navigate the dangers of their new home, from violent grounder tribes who see them as invaders to the scorched earth that seems intent on swallowing them whole. They face limited resources, hostile terrain, and their own inner demons as they fight not only to survive, but to build a future on this desolate planet. With tensions rising, secrets from the Arc threaten to tear the group apart just when they need unity the most. In the chaos of survival, they must decide what kind of world they will build amidst the echoes of the past-and whether they can hold onto their humanity in the process. Echoes of Survival is a gripping tale of resilience, sacrifice, and the relentless will to live in a world where everything is fighting to keep you down.

Engines of Alchemancy (The Alchemancer Book One) by scottmarlowe

After re-reading Engines of Alchemancy in preparation for writing the 3rd book in the series, I decided to post the entire book on Wattpad. It's a good story, and I'd love to have readers such as yourself give it a try. Engines of Alchemancy is the 1st book in The Alchemancer series. It's followed by The Nullification Engine and The Inversion Solution. You can find out more about The Alchemancer series and my other books here: https://www.scottmarlowe.com/page/the-alchemancer *** Infernal engines consume the world and only a sorcerer's apprentice who knows nothing about magic can stop them. The Alchemancer series begins. Chaos erupts in the Barony of Fallmere when a surprise elemental attack destroys Norwynne Keep. Aaron Shepherd and Shanna Bonnerman survive, but Shanna is soon lost in the fallout of the keep's destruction while Aaron is forced to flee for his life. Unbeknownst to Aaron, Shanna becomes a captive of the enemy who destroyed their home. This enemy, a savant who claims to follow the path of science, speaks of ancient, infernal devices and a quest to reclaim the greatest of them all. Certain the savant means to kill her, Shanna is instead surprised when she finds herself embarking upon the adventure of a lifetime. Meanwhile, only the worst of nightmares awaits Aaron. Pursued by dwarven raiders, mad sorcerers, and a host of demons who will not stop until he is dead, the only thing keeping him alive is his own wits and an eslar mercenary whose reputation as a killer might make him the worst threat of all. Though Aaron and Shanna travel different paths, their purposes align when they each learn of a mysterious device known as the Fifth Element. Shanna sees it as the final piece of the puzzle that is her destiny. To Aaron's logical mind, it is an impossible ambiguity. Whatever the answer, the Fifth Element draws them back together and into a final confrontation where science and sorcery will collide.

Author Becomes Character (Revised version) by ShairaMaeMafe

I woke up in an unfamiliar world, inside a body that wasn't mine. I mean. A realm brimming with magic, dragons, and every fantastical creature I had only dreamed of. Yeah, no big deal, right? At first, I tried to live as normally as possible in this strange new world-*you know, just blend in*-but then, after a life-changing event (read if you wanna know), it hit me: this wasn't just any random world. Nope. It was *the world*. The one I had created in the novel I had been writing back on Earth. How fun is that? I'm now living in the very thing I'd written. And to make it even more interesting? I'm a character who wasn't supposed to exist. My arrival has already started shaking up the plotline like a snow globe, and I'm over here trying to figure out where the heck to even start. So, where do I go from here? Hi guys this is the updated and revised version from the web novel cause I lost access to that account, a lot of things and characters are altered or changed, and Im sorry for the long hiatus.

The Hollow Crown by 1210Raine

In the city of Veilrest, where shadows breathe and nightmares walk, power is a curse disguised as a gift. The once-glorious kingdom has been rotting from within, its throne left vacant after the royal bloodline was slaughtered in the dark of a moonless night. Now, the land festers under the rule of a nameless tyrant-one whose face is never seen, only felt in the whispers of the cursed and the screams of the vanished. Kastor Veyne never wanted to be a hero. With a metal-forged leg replacing what was lost to Veilrest's cruelty, he's learned that survival is the closest thing to victory. But when a prophecy names him as the rightful heir to the Hollow Crown, he's dragged into a war of monsters and gods-one he never asked to fight. By his side is Silas, a rogue with ink-stained hands and secrets older than the kingdom itself, and Lysara, a necromancer with a grudge against the living and an even greater hatred for fate. As Kastor unearths the city's buried horrors, he discovers that the Hollow Crown is not a throne-it's a prison. And the only way to break free might be to embrace the darkness he's spent his whole life running from. But power always comes with a price. And Kastor is about to learn what it means to lose everything.

A Century Prior by Raice0

Austin, a struggling boy who's trying to survive in a fallen economy following a third world war. Within a North Dakotan town, he has to face the challenges of taking care of his sick mother, making money through any means necessary. However, after surviving a gun shot wound that should've been fatal did Austin come to the realization of newly awakened abilities. From this newfound realization does Austin decide to start leading a double life thanks to the encouragement of a friend. During this time does he discover that there's an organization within the shadows wanting him, and all others like him, dead. Note: This is a prequel to my story Xtravaganza. That story is not a required read to understand this one, but both stories do take place within the same universe.

Loki x reader || Fragments by ZiniaBlack

Asgard, ruled by the Allfather Odin and Queen Frigga, their sons Thor and Loki sitting along beside them come across a lost girl that is clearly not mortal at their gates one day with no memory of her passed or who she is. Queen Frigga takes the young girl in and raises her in the palace. The girl grows up with the princes and trains with them. From the start, Y/n {the girl} is bullied and tormented by the younger prince Loki, will this constant bickering turn into something else? Or will they just stay forever enemies? DISCLAIMER! No I do not own any of these characters except for y/n. This story takes place when the princes are around the Midguardian {human} age of 6-8 so they are pretty young. There will be a few years time skip to when they are older. I will go in depth of where y/n is from later within the first few chapters and her back story. Also meaning that none of the marvel movies have happened yet. I also made the cover with a picture I found on the internet ;) Please message me anytime I love feedback and making friends. I try to stay as accurate as possible so yes I do research as I write haha. I hope you guys like this! ~ Zinia
