🔭⚛️Ever tried to outrun the laws of physics? How about negotiating with them?

🔭🪐🌌What's the going rate for reality itself? And what happens when it decides to set its own price? ሠዐሠ!!

Space is vast, cold, and unforgiving - unless you've got the right crew and a fast ship. Captain Sarah Chen has both in the Starcaller, making a living in the shadows between legitimate salvage and outright piracy. It's a good life, if not always a legal one.

Then they find the Keystone.

Hidden in the ruins of a civilization older than human memory, it's an artifact that can twist the fabric of reality itself. Some say it's a tool of creation, others a weapon of unimaginable power. To Sarah, it's the kind of trouble that gets people killed.

Now the Starcaller's crew is caught between the Crimson Collective's merciless hunters, corrupt officials of the Concordat, and ancient guardians awakening from eons of slumber. Every power in known space wants the Keystone - and they'll sacrifice anything to get it.

But the artifact has its own agenda. It whispers to the crew in their dreams, showing them wonders and horrors beyond imagination. As reality begins to fracture around them, Sarah realises the real question isn't who gets to keep the Keystone.

It's whether anyone should.All Rights Reserved

The Corruption Within Us by Seth189

WARNING: this book includes blood, manipulation, cursing, and mature topics (not smut please don't think that). Feel free to click off if any of these make you uncomfortable. ~•~ Something about it was so mysterious about this cave, and I wanted to know more. I entered the cave and saw a red crystal sealed in ice. "Woah." I whispered. The crystal glowed and the ice shattered. I jumped back and fell to the ground, watching as the ice broke completely. My eyes widened and I looked at my hands. "Did I do that?" I asked, but before I could answer, I heard a guard shout for backup as they had heard the ice shattering. I quickly jumped up and stashed the crystal in my pocket before leaving. I crept to the cave the following day, putting the crystal back into the remains of the ice pillar. As I walked away, the crystal fell, causing it to break into a million pieces. I jumped at the sudden noise and stumbled backwards, my eyes widening as a black smog formed around the crystal. "No, no, no, no! Frick." I desperately tried to grab the remains of the crystal, causing one to cut my hand. "Ow! Shit." I whispered, looking at my bleeding hand. "Tch, tch, tch, poor child." A demonic voice said. I looked up and saw that the black smog had two red eyes and a wide, sick smile that was dripping with venom. "I- who are you?" I asked, backing up. "The one who can help you out of here." It said, stretching out a hand. I looked it up and down and before I could answer, its hand plunged into my heart, causing me to scream out in pain.

It takes me a long time to come up with this stuff and it would be better to write your own work!!

Escape the Night: Season 4 All Stars (My Story of ETN S4) by RoyalPrincess2019

"You've promised me that this was all over! You've lied to me for the last time! You brought us all back on this crazy suicidal mission, and caused all of our lives into great danger once again; this is your fault!" - The Forest Scavenger (Me) We're all back, and more tougher than ever! After going through a crazy 70s mission last year with Joey and the gang, I come back for another one. Me, Joey, and the group go on a mission to save our dead friends from purgatory and try to bring them back to life. But in order to do that, we all need to go through a dangerous museum called the Museum of the Dead; where we need find all nine of the Collector's keys in order to bring our friends back to life. All doesn't seem too bad, except that we have only until sunrise before we all turn into dust and end up in Hell itself. With the mission affecting all of us again, my thoughts for Joey start to turn after me and him form a secret alliance. And in this alliance he forms with me, he wants me to do nothing more but just keep silent about me and him and what happened to us in the past; leaving me speechless. As the secret is eating me alive, I start to feel terrible about keeping it from all of my friends; including Alex when I find out what he's been really thinking about me all this time I'm here. With time running out quickly and sunrise coming up, we all only got one last chance in order to make it out ALL alive. And my chances of escaping, may cost me my own life this time.

The Way It Is by JessieGoodwin

I am not from this planet. Hell, I am technically not from this galaxy. However, that doesn't change the fact I am here now, and my job is to save what I can on this forsaken planet and what's left of its inhabitants. The problem is that not everyone wants to be saved. I know what you're thinking. You can't save those who don't want to be saved. I bloody well agree. The ones who sent me don't care what you or I think, though. All they care about is numbers. They need a certain success rate to continue to get funding for their "expeditions" and "peacekeeping" efforts. I use both terms loosely here. However, that's what they put on their records, and it's what sounds good and looks suitable to their investors. So this is the way it's going to be. So be it! Oh, did I forget to mention the Universe decided I was the lucky girl to help find the one person who could save us all from self-destruction? Yea, that is a shitty idea, but once again, no one cares what I think.

Mass Effect: Titan by Akkenbosch

In 2179, an artifact was discovered in a remote star cluster in the Terminus systems. An artifact gathered the attention of several governments and shadowy organizations, placing huge bounties on its retrieval. The hunt for this artifact would become the dream of many Mercs, whether those in large bands or individuals looking for the wealth and prestige it would bring in. It is now 2183 and these organizations have become desperate. The body count has grown, and with it, the confusion surrounding the information on who is in possession. As for some unlucky souls, their journey for the artifact wasn't necessarily something they wanted to be involved in. But fate, as they say, had other plans.

that one SWURD by xyltharion

Long ago, when the world was young and humanity struggled against the forces of chaos, the gods intervened. They forged a sword, not as a weapon of destruction, but as a gift of hope. Each god poured a fragment of their essence into it-courage, wisdom, resilience, and strength. It's a sword meant for everything possible. For centuries, the blade lay hidden, waiting for the right moment to be discovered. It wasn't buried in gold or locked away in a grand vault-it rested quietly in the heart of the earth, untouched and unseen, until the time was right. When the first hand grasped the hilt, the sword came alive. Its surface shimmered with an otherworldly glow, a promise of the power within. The one who found it didn't know the gods had shaped it, nor did they understand the weight of what they held. But the sword recognized them. It responded to their strength, their resolve, and their needs. As the blade cut through the darkness for the first time, it wasn't just its edge that brought change. It was the force behind it-the will to fight for survival, for something greater than fear. With every swing, the sword grew brighter, stronger, as if it fed not on blood but on purpose. Though the gods forged the blade, it wasn't theirs anymore. In that moment, it became part of humanity, a bond between the divine and mortal worlds. And for the one who wielded it, the sword was more than steel and magic-it was a companion, a guide, and a silent promise: you are not alone. Thus began the sword's journey, not just as a tool of battle, but as a symbol of what humanity could become. And though its path was just beginning, the gods knew it would go on, far beyond what even they could imagine. (this is my very first novel. I got my inspiration from a nail clipper)

Mirror Sky. Part 1 - Blissful Nemesis by pwkos171

The future is predetermined. It can't be changed. But who casts the future in stone? It's you, me, and every one of us. The iron grip of our fate doesn't come from gods or physics but from us. You are oppressed by your future self to walk the one and only road. Knowing the future changes nothing - this knowledge has already been written into your fate. Time travel is meaningless for the same reason - all your meddlings had also become a part of your fate before you even embarked on your journey through time. Could this strange duality of free will and fate be challenged? If so, what would it take? How far are you willing to go to change your dark fate? Is the risk of erasing the universe from existence worth your brighter future?

Meltdown Ophilion - Book One by jessemara12

Adventure - Sci-fi - Fantasy - Action - Dystopian - Supernatural - Mystic - Apocalyptic Disturbing events trigger a search for an object that three Cholan (Low Circle) teenagers on Ophilion believe has deep personal significance for them. Their journey of discovery takes dangerous turns, but by the time they understand what they are dealing with they realize that they have gone too far to abandon their pursuit. They are joined by a girl from a very different kind of society who shares one undeniable factor with them. Together, they make a discovery that changes everything they thought they knew about their world, the universe, and themselves. They begin to understand why they were given the clues that led them to the discovery, and, more importantly, who put them in their path. They are made an offer; their choice would be a determining factor in the fate of their world. The risks involved, should they accept, will be great - but refusing would tear their souls apart. *** "It happens, from time to time, that when the cards you hold are few and of little value, Destiny takes your hand and leads you down a path you would never have expected."
