A forgotten god. A marked girl. A fallen world.
In the Ninth World - where time has eroded empires into myth and broken machines masquerade as miracles - Cassandra dares to break a sacred law.
All her life, she has been haunted by prophetic dreams: fractured visions she only understood when it was too late. But one dream is sharp, urgent, and impossible to ignore. It calls her to the Sea of Rust - a cursed expanse where metal decays, and memory itself corrodes - to enter means exile...or death. There, buried among the bones of titanic war-machines and dead cities, Cassandra uncovers a fragment of something long forgotten... something that remembers being a god.
Now marked by the fragment, Cassandra is on the run. Hunted by the fanatical Iron Order, and haunted by visions, Cassandra must seek refuge in Rusthaven. But within its walls waits the Rumi: a clandestine guild of relic-hunters led by the enigmatic Azra. Their knowledge may be her salvation - or her undoing.
The past is alive in the Ninth World. It whispers in data-ghosts, bleeds through rust....and dreams of rebirth.
****Set in the RPG world of Numenera****

CLOUD CASCADE
It's the year 398 of the Ninth Era, an age dominated by the Federation's authoritarian control and by the insidious influence of megacorps like Mercator Group. Human-piloted, mass-produced machines known as Frames define the battlefield, surveillance programs monitor your every move, and no one alive remembers what it was like before it got this way. It's in this tightly-wound, bloody ecosystem that four lives collide. The Knife, a mob enforcer with the ability to bend matter, ends up a courier for a piece of tech she's been trained not to ask questions about. Angela, a Frame Pilot Specialist with the Ministry of State Affairs, fights for justice only to find deafening silence. Grey, her teammate, just wants to keep the squad sane. Major Falwin, their superior, investigates a crime scene and finds a Knife-shaped ghost. Nobody has all the pieces to the puzzle-not until Frames drop, guns are pointed, and the nature of reality becomes a question mark. In this new, unrelenting conflict, there won't be any winners, only more devastation.

The Red Mafia
The year is 2364 and a teenager approached a broken down robot in a field. The debris of a spaceship lay scattered around the area, barely recognizable as a ship. The teen knelt down and pressed the big "power on" button on the robot. The vintage T.V. began powering up... "Hello?" A humanoid sat on the ruins of an abandoned building. Moss and plants engulfed the stone walls, returning it back to nature. What this building once was, no one modern could know. A duo approached, one waving to the person with a pipe-like arm. The other looked like they would rather be anywhere else. Despite this, the three left together. Now a team of unlikely heroes: a child of a multimillion-dollar cooperation C.E.O., turned acclaimed assassin, an old assistance droid with a stolen soul, and a misplaced child from a magical mossy world. The three, forced to work together by an otherworldly deity, will try to stop a universal leader with a villainous agenda and a god complex. How the trio will cope? I guess we'll find out.

❖ ''ZF 16 Ariomma to unknown vessel. Please identify yourself. Over.'' ❖ Farah and Kazem are twins working aboard the Ariomma, a trading airship that sails the edges of a flat world. Out here is a frontier far from civilization: a place known as the Tideless, where water lifts from the surface of the sea, and great creatures rise with it. Only some of them are known. This is not a sailing path known for its safety, but the crew of the Ariomma have rarely feared their work. That is, until they find the carcass of another ship hanging in the Tideless, decimated by an unknown enemy. Soon, their flight to safety becomes a fight for their lives, as the monster turns its attention on the Ariomma... and them. ❖❖❖ Written for #NONC2022, a community-run novella festival operating in parallel with Wattpad's 2022 Open Novella Contest.
