Veil of Beasts by swimmingmeow

In a single night, the once peaceful life was utterly shattered. The truth lurking beneath the calm surface was abruptly unveiled. Beneath human faces hid predatory gazes. Deception, betrayal, ambushes, battles, farewells... Life and death intertwined in brutal clashes; Good and evil locked in ceaseless confrontation; Right and wrong blurred in relentless strife. From that moment on, survival became a fragile balance- A world where the strong devoured the weak, Where one false step could lead to an endless abyss. How do we escape this labyrinth? How do we break free from the web of fate? Adrian Blackwood, an orphan, was transported at the age of six to a "parallel world," where he found himself embraced by a warm and loving family of five. At eighteen, Adrian stumbled upon a horrifying truth: this was no parallel world but a mysterious domain, and the family and friends around him were terrifying "beasts." Upon discovering this secret, Adrian barely escaped death. In his moment of despair, he unlocked a mysterious system-[Fortune]-a unique power that made him stronger the longer he survived. Thus began a ruthless game of survival, A battle between lambs and wolves.

Life On This Planet: Book 1 by SeoulStorySpinner

By 2422, humankind has achieved an ecotopian climate-positive future. There's zero conflict and zero waste throughout the whole world. But, when a young girl starts having mysterious visions of a walled city, it might signal the ancient return of something threatening this ideal. Can humans escape their nature, or will they return to their old patterns and behaviours? Zee, a quiet and industrious young girl, begins to have vivid dreams and visions of a walled city and a mysterious red book when she turns fifteen. She embarks on a dangerous training programme, meeting other teenagers from around the planet, navigating deep sea trenches, black holes, and a new romance whilst trying to uncover an ancient mystery surrounding quantum entanglement. Will she solve it to save her pet squid and the planet? When millions of Earth's populations left four hundred years ago seeking a new planet to colonise, it paved the way for Earth to stabilise and thrive. But what happened to those people? Why has there been no contact? Are the visions sent from the ancient humans who left planet Earth? Zee quickly learns that her newfound independence is not without its challenges. Some of which might not be from this planet.

Water {Elements of Power 2} by makexbelieve

"Water pooled around my feet, rising at an alarming rate. I stared - panicked - at the palms of my hands, willing the water gushing out of them to stop as miraculously as it had begun. I only sneezed!" Jasmine is struggling to control her new powers, causing floods and fires with an accidental flick of her wrist. In a desperate attempt to master at least one aspect of them, she travels to the Brizan Realm, where she comes closer to discovering the truth about her parents than ever before. But not everyone wants their secrets revealed. Alone, powerless and, for the first time in her life, afraid, Roxy has only one thought occupying her mind: escaping Cinaer's clutches before it's too late. Her flight will take her across the ocean, but not in the direction she is expecting. Before she can try and get back to Brae, she needs to rescue herself. Despite being on opposite sides of the world, the girls soon find themselves closer than ever. --- Water is updated on a weekly basis, every Friday (usually first thing in the morning). If you don't want to wait, you can buy the complete book from Amazon, Kobo, Barnes & Nobel or Smashwords. Air - the final novel in the series - is also available from these sellers.

Shattered Realms by Crawler97

When Noah's wife, Lucy, succumbs to a mysterious paralysis, it marks the beginning of a global catastrophe. A deadly virus spreads rapidly, plunging humanity into chaos and igniting violent delusions among the infected. But the nightmare doesn't stop at Earth. As Noah, his daughter Judy, and his friend Kali struggle to survive, they discover the virus is merely the gateway to a larger, cosmic battle. Their journey takes them beyond our world, into multiple realms and alternate realities where dark forces conspire to consume all existence. Faced with cosmic horrors, shifting realities, and an ever-worsening outbreak, Noah must confront the terrifying truth: the survival of not just his family, but countless universes, depends on him. From a world teetering on collapse to adventures across dimensions, can Noah rise above the chaos and save reality itself before it's too late? (I am writing this novel from my deep love for fiction and science fiction adventures. While I know there are areas where I still have room to grow, I hope this story offers a glimpse into my inner world of imagination and exploration.) Thank you for your support!

The 12 Elementals by just-A_potato

Yet again Darkness is hungry for a war to end it all, but Light will always have troops at the ready. One girl. One kingdom. Eleven friends. Four Elements. No biggie. * I'm Melody, hybrid freak, nice to meet you, strange muggle who I know nothing about. I used to be like you, cluelessly ignorant and uninvolved with the outside world. You know, they have a big, yellow ball of gas in the sky. Weird. Anyway my life became something out of a bad Si-Fi movie, and no, Nicolas Cage isn't in it (sadly). There are two forces in the world, Light and Darkness, and when you side with Light, Darkness gets a stick up its ass and wants you to suffer. My friends and I, we roll with Light, you must know where that leads.... I have a kingdom to learn, powers to master, loud friends to keep in line, a boy that I'm messed up over, and above it all, Darkness to show whose boss. Not as easy as you might think, but this is MY story, and I know how it ends. Being a loyal follower of Light shows me the beauty in life and the devastation it can cause. Don't get me wrong, I love Light, but Darkness makes it hard to stay and fight. * Melody is weird. She's childish. She's awkward. And she's got boy issues she needs to work out. Mel will face evil like no other, but can she do it? Will the scales of Light and Darkness finally be tipped? How can one girl make a difference? This is Melody, a corky teenager, and she wants you to read her story. Like now. Enjoy! Highest rank- #69 in Fantasy (Still cant believe it!!)

The Backrooms by Panderwriter_Nerv

It was like it happened out of thin air, like the moment I was there then gone in the next. Like I fell through the ground, where am I? How can I get out? What lies ahead in this barren "abandoned" world? And what waits for me?... *wake up* *Wake Up* *WAKE UP* Updates every 1-2 weeks on Fridays Some story relevance and references belong to Kane Pixels on YouTube for his backrooms series, I only use them for inspiration and for story references, its kind of a fanfiction based on his series =)
