It's 3019 and the ocean no longer exists. The past made sure of that. Now CAPA governs the world with strict rules, enforcing what can and can't be done. Each Nent has it's own purpose, and CAPA seems to be working magic, as the environment seems to be coming back to normal. 

However, CAPA is not all good, and rumors of the sea start to pop up. Farris and her brother, Jansen, have a chance to discover what's really out there. Except, they may have underestimated just how much they didn't know.

Title: THE MINUS ONE: A Cosmic Enigma Description: From the heart of the void emerges THE MINUS ONE, an entity shrouded in mystery and forged from absence itself. He is not merely a being but the embodiment of the void's enigma-where light falters, and time unravels.

THE MINUS ONE's origins are veiled in darkness, with echoes of the void whispering secrets no mortal or immortal mind can comprehend. But as his power grows, so too does the mystery of his purpose-will he unmake existence or bring balance to a chaotic multiverse?

Vile Dominion by myNameisAnonymous03

Disclaimer: This is my own work, if a character seem to be similar, it may be due to a coincidence or may also be because I was inspired of their work. I tried my best to make a unique content. In a world where the heavens themselves weave intricate schemes, Li Gang is reborn into the brutal cultivation realm of the Divine Spirit World. Here, power is absolute, and the strongest warriors and immortals manipulate fate, treating mortals and weaker cultivators as mere pawns in their grand designs. Armed with the memories of his past life and a mind sharper than any blade, Li Gang quickly realizes that raw strength alone is not enough to survive. Every sect, clan, and faction hides venomous plots, and even disciples are mere tools for their masters' ambitions. The path to power is paved with betrayal, deception, and blood. But Li Gang is no ordinary pawn. With unparalleled intellect and an unwavering will, he begins to turn the tide-navigating deadly conspiracies, outwitting ancient masterminds, and twisting their own schemes against them. Whether through manipulation, ruthless strategy, or sheer defiance, he refuses to be controlled. Yet, the deeper he delves into the world's secrets, the more terrifying the truth becomes. The so-called "Immortals" are not as invincible as they claim. They, too, are caught in a game far greater than he ever imagined. The true masterminds lurk in the shadows, pulling the strings of even the highest cultivators. To break free, Li Gang must not only rise to power but shatter the very foundations of this world's control. Can he outscheme the schemers and become the ultimate ruler, or will he, too, fall victim to the grand design? In a world of lies, only the sharpest mind reigns supreme. (Some grammatical errors at the beginning chapters. It is fixed later on!)

The Warriors of Aregon--Vol 1 by louulaaa7744

Nora's lived on the island all her life--catching food, doing experiments, keeping what she considers a safe distance away from the Wolf. Then he starts acting weird. Right in the middle of working on figuring out the problem, she falls asleep. Genex wakes up with barely any memory of anything from his 13 years of life. All he knows is that he's got a pet saber-tooth tiger named Fluffy, his mom is dead, and that he's got a girl named Nora in his head (when he's really not supposed to). He woke up to the Aregonian gods, Osires and Zios, telling him about training and his future and staying away from Pantheos, the Aregonian god of the underworld. But everything they tell him to do, Nora says the opposite. Everything they say, Nora hints that they're lying to him. Unsure of what to think, and with Nora continuously telling him to simply "look deeper" and "wait a little longer", Genex decides he needs to find the answer, and he needs to find the answer now. -> This story can also be found in To Be a Writer, but I wanted to publish it seperately as well. :)

A Spell of Seven by Arkeya

Falan and his brother, Jax, are new to the world of magic. They're magelings - untrained magic-wielders - and they're powerful. They soon become locked in a conflict between the Brotherhood of the Kings and a mysterious Order. One side wants to kidnap them for their magic, and the other will do anything to keep them from falling into the Brotherhood's hands. When the Order sends an agent, Freya, to their aid, she doesn't seem happy to help. She's closed, snappish, and short tempered, and she has no love for magelings or magic. But the brothers soon discover that she's superhuman, with impossible strength and fighting skill. She also has secrets. The leader of the Brotherhood soon discovers her identity- and he'll go to any length to kill her.

The Last Wordsmith by redmoon6704

Genre: Dystopian/Fantasy/Mystery/Philosophical Fiction Description: In a future where words are vanishing from existence, humanity faces an eerie silence. The phenomenon, known as Lexical Erosion, causes overused words to fade from memory and underused words to be forgotten forever. To control the chaos, governments enforce strict word quotas, rationing speech like a precious resource. Amidst this decaying world of silence, one woman defies the inevitable-Erya, the Last Wordsmith. Gifted (or cursed) with the ability to remember lost words, she becomes the last keeper of language, hiding in an underground library where forgotten words still linger. But every word she recalls comes at a cost: another disappears, never to return. When a desperate young man named Sol seeks her help to recover his sister's forgotten name, Erya is forced to make a choice-continue preserving words in secret or risk unraveling the very fabric of language itself. As she journeys through a world on the brink of total silence, she uncovers the true reason behind the disappearance of words... and the terrifying choice that awaits all of humanity. In a story that weaves mystery, philosophy, and the power of language, The Last Wordsmith is a haunting tale of memory, loss, and the desperate fight to hold onto the essence of human expression before it fades forever.

Abyssborn Ascension by sunleessss

In a world on the brink of collapse, where ancient eldritch forces whisper in the shadows and reality itself begins to decay, Severin Nacht awakens in the abyss-stripped of his past, bound by an unnatural system, and burdened with an insatiable hunger for power. The System grants him a single path: Consume or Be Consumed. Monsters roam the ruins of forgotten cities, abyssal cults worship entities beyond mortal comprehension, and the last remnants of humanity war amongst themselves for control over dying lands. The gods have long abandoned this world-or perhaps they were never gods to begin with. Severin does not seek salvation. He does not fight for honour, justice, or the naive dreams of heroes. He seeks only strength, knowledge, and absolute control-for in a world where fate devours the weak, only those willing to devour fate itself can rise to the top. But the deeper he ascends, the more the abyss stirs. The whispers grow louder. And Severin begins to wonder- Is he using the System? Or is something else using him?

Elyra: Legend Reborn by AoNoNgao

There is a force older than time itself, flowing unseen through the land, the skies, and the souls of those who walk this world. Some call it magic. Others, destiny. But in Elyra, power is not merely taken-it is earned, stolen, fought for, and sometimes... cursed upon the unworthy. The continent stretches endlessly, its lands carved by ancient wars and civilizations lost to history. Ruined cities stand as silent witnesses to battles long forgotten, their stone walls whispering secrets only the daring seek to uncover. Deep within the mountains, martial artists forge their bodies into weapons beyond human comprehension, their strikes capable of shattering steel. In the grand halls of scholars, mages bend the laws of reality, weaving spells that twist the very fabric of existence. Some claim magic is boundless, limitless in potential... but those who reach too far often find themselves consumed by forces they cannot control. But for every force that builds, another seeks to destroy. Beneath the surface, fire rages in an endless inferno, a realm where even the bravest fear to tread. High above, unseen hands pull at the strings of fate, shifting the balance of the world with every whisper. And hidden within sealed chambers, beings older than the stars slumber, their names long erased from mortal tongues. Legends speak of a kingdom that once ruled everything, a kingdom that no longer exists. Some say it was consumed by its own greed, others whisper of a power too great for the world to bear. Yet remnants remain-artifacts, symbols, fractured pieces of a puzzle scattered across the land, waiting for those foolish or ambitious enough to seek them. The air is shifting. The world stirs. Something is waking up. And when it does, Elyra will never be the same.

Whispers of Nowhere by RebelDynasty

**AVAILABLE ON AMAZON** (Book One in the Whispers of Nowhere trilogy) When Gwen's father gets home late from work, it's just another typical night for the museum curator's daughter. Still, there's something strange about the artifacts he's brought home this time, something so unique that she can't help but touch them. In a blinding flash, the artifacts vanish, and a mysterious man appears in their place. Only he's not a man at all. Forneus is a daemon, an intermediary between gods and man-and the guardian of the very artifacts Gwen has just unwittingly sent back to their places of origin around the globe. Gwen doesn't have time to absorb this before a new figure emerges: Phenex, the human-personification of the legendary bird, himself. The next thing she knows, she's being whisked away from the comfort of her home into a world beyond her wildest imaginings. When she thinks things couldn't possibly get any more complicated, she's proven wrong. Because those bizarre artifacts? They were protective seals to a place called Nowhere; a prison realm created by the gods to contain all of the malevolent forces Gwen has only heard about in bedtime stories. Now those very same forces are on the rampage, intent on revenge against the gods whom imprisoned them-and they don't care who else gets hurt along the way. Possessing innate powers she can't even begin to understand, it is up to Gwen and her two mysterious allies to reclaim the lost artifacts before someone far more sinister does...
