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

Lost Origins (Vol. I) by MihirNirgude0001

Now published on Amazon. In a future where myth and science collide, one man discovers that the oldest stories still hold the power to change the world. Some truths are not meant to be found. They say the past is gone. They say the old stories are just myths. They say there are no doors left to open. They are wrong. Beneath shadows, something ancient waits. Beyond the edge of our knowing, something watches. And when the right hands find the right key... the world will remember what it has forgotten. Step into a journey where every page pulls you deeper, where silence hides voices older than time, and where the greatest secret is the one you never saw coming. Lost Origins (Vol. I) - once you open it, you may never see the world the same way again.

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.

Because what he did to me deserves to be known. --------------------------- THIS BOOK CONTAINS TRAUMATIC CONTENT!
