Beyond the Fabric by Brieecore07

In the vast expanse of the multiverse, two worlds existed in parallel dimensions, their destinies intertwined yet unknown to each other. Elyria, a world of advanced technology and scientific marvels, was governed by the Council of Sages, wise leaders who prioritized knowledge and innovation. Meanwhile, in the world of magic and wonder, the Realm of Enchantia was ruled by the Circle of Mages, powerful sorcerers who wielded the elements with precision and grace. For centuries, these two worlds remained separate, their inhabitants unaware of the other's existence. But as the fabric of reality began to unravel, the boundaries between Elyria and Enchantia started to blur, setting the stage for an epic tale of love, discovery, and unity. In a world where ancient magic whispers through the trees, and futuristic cities pierce the sky, a timeless tale of love and rebellion unfolds. Join Maya, a young woman from a forgotten century, as she hurtles through the fabric of time and into a future where machines rule supreme. In this uncharted territory, she discovers a forbidden love that will shake the foundations of both worlds. With the fate of two eras hanging in the balance, Maya must confront the darkness of her own past and the secrets that have haunted her family for generations. Will she find a way to reconcile the ancient magic that courses through her veins with the advanced technology that threatens to consume her? Dive into a world of wonder and discovery, where the boundaries of time and space are tested, and the power of love becomes the ultimate rebellion. Note: This is a short novel

ASORA: From The Blood Of The Shadows by rinaXhazurina

"Beware that you become not the very monster you ought to slay." In a world where magic holds the essence to life, there is still no telling where fate determines your place will be. When the Cardinal Empire of Nyrhaea and its time-forsaken creatures declare war on the human world, a dark entity in the guise of a human, a grieving swordsman, an electric-manipulating technocrat, an unhinged fire-breathing boy, and a magic-less girl whose very existence defies the Laws of Mahika, venture to stop the prophecied, apocalyptic world war. All the while dealing with the complications of entering adulthood. With the grotesque inside him growing hungrier by the day, threatening him of the looming hour to fulfill destiny's bidding to be the key to the end of the world, the entity resorts to a mysterious girl who could only be his last hope to attain freedom from the shackles of fate. An antidote given not without an undefined price. But how long can he endure to bury the roots of the calling past? And what are they willing to risk to liberate a world beyond saving that hangs in the state of trust and sanity? *~* Mature Contents: gore, violence, and subtle depictions of abuse and substance use.

For the fae, magic is everything: status, power, wealth, honor. For Vera Reite, a fae born with no magic, it is a shameful reminder that she will never amount to anything.

Those that go missing and find themselves at the mercy of the beast are never seen or heard from again.

When she learns of it, she ventures into the wood to kill the beast, believing that she will be able to absorb the magic it has stolen. But the woods are as dangerous as the beast, and Vera soon finds herself lost. In a stroke of luck, she comes across an old manor deep in the forest where a strange boy is sealed away. If Vera wishes to slay the beast, she will first have to uncover the secret of the manor and its prisoner before it's too late. 𝐀 𝐟𝐚𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜, 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭.
