Three high school students are called to the hospital bedside of a classmate badly injured in a car accident. The classmate, Lavinia Drak, insists her head injury has allowed her to remember the truth: “Your parents aren’t real,” she tells them. “The other students aren’t real. None of this is real. All of this is just a bad copy of Demeter. Earth? It’s just a prison made to punish us.”
More than that, Lavinia tells the three of them that in this supposedly better world of Demeter—a place of fantastic magic and advanced science—each of them has special abilities: Eric, a shy artist at school, was a sorcerer who fed on death, using the energy taken from others to fuel spells. Robbie, a gay theater student here, was a famous inventor, adventurer, and womanizer on Demeter. Bernadette, the school's top athlete, was a biologically engineered living weapon.
Eric, Robbie, and Bernadette all think Lavinia is crazy. That is, until they too begin to see visions of another, more fantastic world in their dreams. And their dreams, in turn, start to awaken powers and talents in them.
Struggling to understand and control their newfound capabilities, Eric, Robbie, Bernadette and Lavinia also find themselves confronting a darker question: if Earth and everyone on it isn’t real, does it matter if they hurt those that get in their way?

Nothing Super [COMPLETED]
"I LOVED IT" - Clumsy_weirdo_353 "So your sister likes to get drunk and beat up guys twice her size," Taylor said, her eyes closed. "Yup." A beat. "So you can teleport." "Yup." Another slice of silence. "So you really can fight," she said. "Yup." A single heartbeat. "So you can teleport." "Yup." "Cool. Cool, cool, cool." Taylor squinted at him, his outward calm mystifying. "You're taking this a lot better than I imagined," she said. He shrugged, but like a bomb, he exploded. "Holy- You can teleport!" Taylor nodded once with the inevitable. "Yeah, that was more like what I was expecting." Taylor's life has been thrown into tailspin. Since discovering she could teleport six months ago she's been trying to juggle being a high school student by day, and a vigilante by night with failing results. Unable to stay awake in classes from her late nights, her grades are dropping fast, and to top it off her exhaustion has she left friendless. When saving late night employees from a burning building puts Taylor in the path of a dangerous criminal, she ends up in an altercation that forces her to realize she needs help.

Would recommend." MiathesmallComplete

Killer Magic Academy
You either become brilliant, or you get killed. When Alyssa was invited to a boarding school to learn magic, she was expecting something out of a Harry Potter book. She wasn't expecting to become a master of a power and learn how to survive and fight with it. She wasn't expecting that most of the people in the school would kill the people with too much power. She wasn't expecting to be one of the most powerful students to ever walk the school. Everyone at Aptitude Academy has power within, and everyone in the school will either become brilliant, or be killed by the other students. Alyssa thought she was signing up to learn to help the world, but she has to master her power quickly, before the people who already have mastered their powers come after her. Soon, that becomes the least of her problems. There's a prophecy that everyone seems convinced that it's about her, a fight club that she accidentally signed up for, the dragon that lives in the arena, and the threat that terrifies the entire school. There's only one person who can stop the threat before it's too late - the subject of the prophecy. Unfortunately for Alyssa, no one knows how to stop the threat or what exactly it is. Despite the fact everyone seems to thing the savior is Alyssa, no one knows for sure, and one false attempt will destroy everything Aptitude Academy has ever known. You become brilliant or you get killed, or maybe both. Cover by: @Ari_forevComplete
