جيتيني وأنا تايه وسط موج الحنين
ليست كل الحكايات تبدأ بابتسامة .. بعضها يولد من صمتٍ طويل من نظرة لم تُفهم أو من قرار صغير كان كافيًا ليقلب كل شي هنا لا تبحث عن أبطال خارقين ولا عن نهايات مثالية هنا ستجد القلوب كما هي ضعيفة عنيدة محطّمة لكنها تقاوم هذه الرواية ليست مجرد قصة بل مرآة وقد ترى نفسك بين السطور دون أن تنتبه مرحبًا بك في عالمٍ لا يشبه أحدًا لكنّه قد يشبهك

Oceanum Collis
"Let me prove to you I am unlike them." Thousands of years ago, there was a faraway land called Oceanum Collis. Many different people lived among each other in peace. Elves, mermaids, werewolves, and humans. After fighting hundreds of wars, the people came to a compromise and started to work together. Realms were united and civilization was born. Oceanum Collis was beautiful and peaceful, but with light comes darkness. The humans felt left out. While the others had magic and great strengths, they were nothing special. A young man, Basil Adelio, found that humans deserved more than to be farmers. But there was more to his plan. He was after the throne, so he could rule all over Oceanum Collis. Together, the magical creatures were able to stop him. The humans left the lands, leaving behind everything they had built. The alliance between the four people was broken. The elves and mermaids tried to rebuild their alliance, but without the werewolves it was impossible. And so the three different people parted, hardly talking to one another ever again. Now, one hundred years later, a new realm has been created. It was separated from the other realms by a large wall. A new leader has risen from the shadows. He believed that the outside world was filled with dangerous things. So, he made sure everyone stayed within the walls of the empire. And those who didn't were never heard of again. As others always looked away, a young man called Orlando, always glanced beyond the wall. One day, he's able to see what's behind the wall for himself instead of hearing stories. A new world lies ahead of him, but it might not be as beautiful as he had hoped. A/n: Hey guys! So this is an original story. Please, do not copy the story or use my characters without my permission. I've taken a long time to set this all up. Thank you! And love you all! -Jay25211💜💜Lengkap
The Cursed Princess's Prescription
A tragic accident ended my life as a twenty-six-year-old ER doctor. When I opened my eyes, I wasn't in a hospital-I was in the body of Princess Larsa de Parsa, a tragic villainess whose cruel past burned an entire kingdom to ashes. Waking up in an eighteen-year-old body surrounded by enemies, I have no memories of Larsa's sins. But the men she left behind haven't forgotten. Trapped between a vengeful rebel leader, a broken prince, and powerful men hunting me down from the shadows, I must use my medical knowledge and sharp instincts to survive. Because in this royal web of lies, everyone is hiding a secret-including me. What really happened on the night the palace burned? And can I escape Larsa's tragic fate before her past catches up to me?
The Mystics Of Valenthia
"So who the heck am I?" I stared defiantly at Freya. "I am a normal person. I go to high school. I have parents. What am I ?" I asked. "That is what we need to find out. Do you trust us enough to stay with us? Help us? You are powerful. You are the only Palenthian, first time in centuries who has magic inside her. Powerful magic. More powerful than most Valen. I can feel it. Stay with us and help us slay monsters. Please." I gulped. "What will I get for that?" "Answers." Renna Evans was just another normal girl in another normal world, living with her normal (and filthy rich) parents and going to a normal high school. Basically her life was as normal as could be. Until she went on a normal walk on a hill side. Little did Renna know that from that point, her life would be anything but normal. Welcome to the world of Renna Evans; a world which is divided into two parts. Those who call themselves The Valenthians, possessing power and magic; and those without it are the Palenthians. What is Renna, really? Will she be able to do what is called upon her? Will she be able to place the pieces of the puzzle which will give her the perfect (or heart-shattering) picture of her past? Will she be able to prove her worth in this new world? Or will her world collapse? And what about the handsome but mysterious Ryan Carter? What exactly is he hiding? Renna will discover a world of peace and war, love and hatred, trust and betrayal; all in her single quest for one thing. FREEDOM.Lengkap

ElnorseFall - The Rizen Rise
*BEFORE READING - This is Book Two of the ElnorseFall Trilogy! If you have not read ElnorseFall "The Beginning of The End" I highly recommend reading it first otherwise this book will not make sense.* Cloverlyne has finally returned to her home planet, V'rasór, to help fight against Elnorsefall, but the war for the Realms has only just begun, and her people are not ready for it. After the battle in Guāsk's sector, the planet V'rasór fights to keep their planet out of the clutches of Elnorsefall, but little is known about Elnorsefall's plans, and many secrets must be revealed to turn the tables in their favor. However, not all is as it seems, and even with the Anari and Soaran's fighting side by side, they still don't have the power to stop Elnorsefall. Everything seems to point back to one group- The Rizen. Cloverlyne has changed. She's not the same as she was before she returned to her planet... the Rizen made sure of that when they experimented on her body. With time running out, she leaves her home planet once more to find anything that could turn the tide of the war. But when her travels uncover generations of lies and deception even among those she thought she could trust, she will have to sacrifice everything she holds dear or risk Elnorsefall's rising to power once again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is book two of the ElnorseFall trilogy.Lengkap

Upon Wings Of Change
No one ever said what would happen when dragons and aliens meet. And no one told me that I would be in the middle of it. Tasha was studying hard to get through her last year of university when she was kidnapped. She certainly didn't expect to wake up with four feet and wings. Mad scientists are bad enough, but things get even more complicated when aliens appear and wipe out the human race. Is there a way for her to hide her true identity in this new world while retaining her humanity? --------------------- Sneak Peek: I jumped over the lip of the tray and beat down hard with my wings. I had expected to only slow my fall; I had not expected to end up gaining so much height. I squawked in surprise and spread my wings wide in alarm before gravity regained its hold on me. With several awkward back-winging motions of my wings, I landed lightly on the floor. Well, at least I know my wings work. I glanced at the man in the corner as he was scribbling quick notes. I turned around to regard the tray again. They say practice makes perfect. With another hop and a single wingbeat, I managed to land in the sand tray with fanned wings slowing my momentum. That was much more graceful. But a wing-assisted hop wasn't true flight. And I still wasn't on the windowsill. ---------------------------- Entire semi-polished draft can be read on Wattpad.

NoName: FA ( Fate's Answer )[Main story] The Last Wish Of The Dead En/Fr
Absolute power comes at a price: your name, your past, and the insatiable greed of the entire world. They are not heroes. Children robbed of their childhood, erased from their own history, endowed with powers bordering on the divine. They wander, trying to rebuild themselves amid a chaos where myths inexplicably rise again. At the heart of the ruins, an enigmatic being moves forward, proclaiming the end as an inescapable certainty. Between corrupted science, madness, trauma, and a dark mirror held up to humanity, NoName: Fate's Answer promises a story that will not leave us untouched. Written and illustrated by Nathan Blaike Important notice: NoName FA and all works connected to its universe are now officially managed under a professional publishing structure. As a result, unsolicited artistic proposals and collaboration requests will no longer be accepted. Thank you for your understanding. _____________________________________________________________ Le pouvoir absolu a un prix : ton nom, ton passé, et la convoitise insatiable du monde entier. Ce ne sont pas des héros. Des enfants sans enfance, effacés de leur propre histoire, dotés de forces frôlant le divin. Ils errent, tentent de se reconstruire au milieu d'un chaos où les mythes reprennent vie, inexplicablement. Au cœur des ruines, un être énigmatique avance, proclamant la fin comme une évidence inéluctable. Entre science dévoyée, folie, traumatismes et sombre miroir de l'humanité, NoName: Fate's Answer est la promesse d'une histoire qui ne nous laissera pas indifférents.

The Domestic Dragon
[COMPLETE] [[**Sequel, The Hybrid Harold, is up!**]] The first generation past the war has settled and the result is something no one from the past would recognize. In the United Human Alliance, the human run country that takes up much of the land mass that used to be the United States, magical children are taken from their parents and sent to boarding school at a young age. What provides humanity with safety from 'volatile' magical beings separates parents from their children and young adults from their culture. Alenia Paetzold is the prime example of what the UHA has created. A domestic dragon. That's why they never expect her to find her wings and burn the cage she is held in to the ground. Getting there, however, takes a prophecy, a lot of lies, and overwhelming love. "For The War Is Lost if They Can Not Win Their Child's Life Lost for Their Sin" ***OMG IT GOT TO NUMBER 1 IN MATRIARCHY!*** ***AND #4 IN FANTASY-ROMANCE!*** Trigger Warnings: Death.

The Alpha Female

Suka was a seventeen year-old girl who had a heart for adventure that often led her to the borders of her territory. Borders that she tested one too many times. Now, injured and forced into the world of humanity Suka is faced with a very real predicament. Humans aren't as bad as she was told, and she will be the one to break the news to her pack. Another problem soon arises as well...when a leader mates, they are bonded for life, so what happens when a Suka develops an unusually strong attraction for a human boy?Lengkap

Into The Unknown
After a catastrophic war and a deadly virus that plagued the world, humanity is left divided, hunting each other down and murdering for vengeance... Or purely for fun. With humanity on the brink of extinction, and another war on the rise, a survivor is revived, given a chance to maybe, just maybe, save the world. ...And all she can remember is her name. ______________________________________ There is a name for those who mutated to survive the virus. I'm not talking about the immune, who can flush the disease straight from their system. I'm talking about The Freaks. If you listen to the rumours, after the Deathwave they started appearing from the wastes, people with no soul or conscience, although once human they now could be described as monsters. You'd think I'd agree, seeing as I ran away from them. But from where I stand, it's Humans who are the monsters.Lengkap
