Beneath the Shadowlanders by ManderRitzert

We knew something wasn't right from the moment we awoke. It was like something was missing - a part of our very souls - and we couldn't sense the deficiency, no matter how hard we tried. A hundred million eyes adjusted to the dark all at once, all surprised to be awakened so soon. We ran through our checklists of limbs and senses, drawing ourselves out of our dreams piece by piece. Some went back to sleep, unaware, unbothered, too tired to notice the difference. Some lay in bed, too anxious to stand until the light of dawn crept through their windows at last, and they were sure the monsters in their closets had gone back to sleep. Some leapt from their slumbers, more keenly aware than others that the missing pieces were important. But we didn't know. We couldn't have. Not until we found ourselves standing in the light and discovered: We no longer had shadows.

Bright Lights & Dark Secrets: A Sci-Fi Anthology by JaCrispy_Jamaine

Some folks set the world on fire, others burn, many don't care what they do as long as something more powerful tells them what's right or wrong. The question is whether it is in our nature to defy our nature, whether it is a good thing, or whether we should know when to stop... Available stories include: * DUPES: Clones vs. cannibals: who will win?! * THE DEUS ISLANDS: A prison ship on its way to a penal colony is jeopardized by the presence of a sinister supernatural entity. * SEEKING SENSATION (ONGOING): A young woman searching for her missing sister becomes acquainted with (and suspicious of) the charismatic employee of a social media platform that allows users to relive other people's memories. If you are a fan of dark sci-fi anthologies such as Black Mirror and Love Death + Robots, then this is the book for you!

(D)Evolved Book 1 - Fantasy by GreatUncleTobermory

GENESIS: The Ascendance Protocol by KgB252

The Earth as it was no longer exists. What remains is a fragmented skybound world-vast floating landmasses suspended over an endless abyss of energy. The oceans have vanished, replaced by an enigmatic force beneath the remnants of civilization, an infinite power source that hums with untold secrets. Cities of gleaming spires and neon-lit corridors cling to these drifting continents, where the remnants of humanity thrive under a futuristic society shaped by science, ambition, and an unspoken fear of the past. Reality is no longer bound by mere chance. Probability itself bends to those who wield the Quantum Matrix, a force derived from the very essence of existence. With it, individuals can reshape their destinies-or bring ruin upon everything around them. Order and chaos exist in delicate balance, held in check by those who seek free will and those who seek freedom.

Temple of Prometheus by BenevolentBeholder

Awakening in a place that seems familiar and yet forgotten is a strange sensation, especially to those lacking the memories of years that follow before them; almost as if they have slumbered for centuries, undisturbed by the world around them before eventually reawakening in a world almost completely new to them despite being the one they left all that time ago.
