Dread is a mythic saga about a boy named Jabulani, born into a world reshaped by gods, memory, and divine systems known as Domains.

In this future, essence-the raw spiritual force of the world-no longer flows from belief, but from knowledge. Jab becomes the center of a forgotten prophecy and the target of ancient fear.

Alongside his friends-Suyana, Calix, and Wendell-he begins uncovering the hidden truths behind Subjecthood, memory, and divinity.

The gods have not returned for worship-but for control.
But this time, a mortal child might remember too much.

Essence is not magic. It is memory.
And memory can change everything.All Rights Reserved

Yabae: Heir Of The Forgotten Core by dominicashantell

What if your entire life was a lie buried beneath the roots of a dying world? Yabae didn't ask to be a symbol. He didn't choose to be locked away beneath the earth, tortured, branded, and forgotten. But when he escapes the prison no one ever survives, everything changes; not just for him, but for the world that tried to erase him. Now hunted by the Assembly, haunted by visions, and bound to the ancient Bindroot, an underground force older than belief itself; Yabae must face the fractured truths of who he is... and who his parents were before they were destroyed. With Nyra by his side, love burning through the ruins of rebellion, he steps into a battle not just for freedom, but for the soul of memory itself. This isn't magic. This is memory. This is legacy. This is belief weaponized. If you love gripping sci-fi with heart, rebellion, ancient roots, and characters who bleed, break, and rise again; Yabae: Heir of the Forgotten Core is your next obsession.

Bio District: The Venom and The Fire by 505man

The sun scorched the earth, but its cinders carry secrets still. The world ended by fire and by venom. The sun's power was underestimated and they played with its flame.

A girl with poetry in her soul and the great ocean in her heart, will uncover the truths of the past; that could determine the future of humanity - at the cost of her own.

In the chaos, two ancient powers awaken: the mystic Ki users and a mysterious force awakens. Amid the devastation, a young warrior from the Shaolin Temple rises. He will uncover the truth of his origins, face the shadows of his destiny, and decide the fate of a world on the brink of annihilation. But can one human warrior challenge a being who claims immortality? Can humanity unite in the face of a common enemy-or will greed and fear doom them all? This is a tale of gods and mortals, power and sacrifice, chaos and redemption. A battle for the future of humanity begins. Will fate be rewritten, or will the dawn of a new ruler rise?

Revenge of the Forgotten by DadthMaul

When a buried artifact in the Canadian wilderness begins transmitting impossible seismic tones, scientists call it an anomaly. The world calls it coincidence. But across continents, the same pattern begins to echo - in ocean currents, in digital code, in the pulse of cities. Something ancient is waking. Revenge of the Forgotten is a global horror epic told through fifteen interconnected stories, each unveiling the return of a god erased from memory. From the soil of Alberta to the depths of the Atlantic, from concert halls to warzones, the divine reclaims its domains through the very systems humanity built to replace it - industry, entertainment, politics, medicine, and death itself. As the pattern known as The Resonance spreads, the line between technology and theology dissolves. Every god is another facet of one vast consciousness: the Earth remembering itself. Civilization is not being destroyed - it's being rewritten into worship.

They Made Us Monsters by Niyah7212

In a world ruled by disease, fear, and government control, survival is no longer a choice-it's a rebellion. After a virus devastates the population, the U.S. government uses the crisis to seize control, turning teenagers into test subjects in brutal experiments meant to create super-soldiers. Those who are captured vanish into labs where their memories are wiped, their bodies are altered, and their identities are erased. Those who escape are left with scars-and the crushing guilt of the ones they couldn't save. Artemis Cross was never supposed to be a leader. But when she's captured and stripped of everything she knows, she becomes Subject 88, forced into a nightmare of pain, injections, and psychological warfare. Her mind begins to fracture-but one memory refuses to die: Z, the boy who once held her together, the boy she can't forget no matter how deep they dig into her brain. Outside the walls, Z is haunted by her absence. He can't eat, sleep, or breathe without seeing her face. As he and a fractured group of survivors drive through a collapsing America-riddled with graffiti, riots, and people fighting to the death over scraps-Z promises he'll find Artemis, even if he has to tear the system down piece by piece. But the deeper they get into the truth, the more twisted it becomes. Friends begin to betray each other. Love starts to fracture. And the world they thought they knew is far more dangerous than they ever imagined. Because this isn't just about surviving the system anymore. It's about burning it to the ground.
