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

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.

hollow souls by pearlescennnn

𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐂 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐈 is a mystery wrapped in darkness no one dares to unravel. Pain and sin have been etched into his skin, coursing through his veins like poison. Broken and battered more times than he can count, his soul carries silent scars few will ever see, scars born from horrors no one should survive. He was forged in cruelty, dragged through self-destruction and numbness, with death lurking just beyond his grasp since the moment his life slipped away. Salvation? He never wanted it. Sex was the only friend who stayed. 𝐋𝐘𝐑𝐀 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐄 was once radiant, a bright light in a dark world, but now she's a hollow shell of numbness and despair. What stole her spark left her empty, drowning in a sea of pain she can barely swim through. The world feels distant, like something she watches through glass, untouched and untouchable. Desperate to feel anything, she turns to the bottle and the burn of her own scars. An angel's face with the devil's tongue, she's sin personified, broken beyond repair yet still unyielding. Their lives are raw wounds, bleeding into each other with every fight, every reckless touch. They destroy and salvage one another in a vicious cycle - he feels too much, and she feels nothing at all. Together, they are pain made flesh, sin made real, bound by a fierce, painful love that neither can escape. Can two hollow souls find salvation in each other, or are they doomed to break forever?

TELL ME WHO I AM! | Dark Romance | Psychological Thriller | by delusionalworld01

She wakes up in a stranger's bed, a diamond ring glimmering on her finger - a symbol of promises she cannot remember - a vow forged in a past that's been stolen from her. Everyone says she's fortunate. That she's blessed. That a beautiful home, a devoted fiancé, and a spotless future await her. But when her pulse falters under his gentle touch... when her skin shivers instead of warming - something deep within resonates with the alarming feeling that something is profoundly, dangerously wrong. He insists it's for her own safety - that something awful happened, that healing simply takes time - but there's a fire in his eyes, a possessiveness he cannot mask. And somewhere in her mind, a locked box rattles against its chains. And at night, in the quiet... she dreams of another man she does not recognize. Until one day he steps out of the shadows. Not with flowers, but with fire, with danger, with a confession forged in the pure agony of a love forgotten. Not with comfort, but with a storm in his eyes and a voice that trembles when he says- "You promised to remember me," he whispers. "Even if the whole world made you forget." He is not kind. He is not patient. His love is wild - a consuming force - a sin that feels more elemental than redemption. The moment he reaches for her, the carefully woven lie starts to unravel, thread by thread, until the awful, beautiful truth emerges. She doesn't know his name. But her soul does. Now, stranded between two men - the man who offers refuge within a perfect illusion and the man who holds the key to a catastrophic reality - she must make a choice. To stay safely oblivious... or to break free and remember the life that was stolen from her. Because someone made sure she forgot. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Some truths are dangerous - and some memories are worth everything.

No Power, No Chains by Shallotblackblade2

In a world where power defines worth, Shallot Black was born with nothing. No gift. No glory. Just a name and a legacy that wanted him erased. Cast out by the Black family and forgotten by a system that worships strength, Shallot disappeared. But he didn't die. He trained. He planned. And in the silence between wars and headlines, a new name began to surface. Reaper. He doesn't wear a cape. He doesn't need a spotlight. But when the world's foundations start to crack when hero agencies fall, and power becomes panic all eyes turn to the one man they couldn't control. Shallot isn't here to save the system. He's here to dismantle it. Because the powerless were never weak. And the Reaper never asks permission to cut the chain. Please let me know if there is any way I can improve. If you see a mistake, please let me know. 🙂 THANKS FOR 800 READS!!!!!!

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.
