Starpiercer: Sunlight's Edge
Nobody said Rock Hauling would be easy. Throughout settled space, terraforming is the fuel that drives the interstellar economy. For some worlds, this is easy. For others, lacking resources, or on the periphery, this is an unattainable dream. Through the eyes of workers, astronauts and intellectuals, Sunlight's Edge follows an attempt to revitalize the crumbled terraforming project of the barren, poverty-stricken and resource-poor planet of Tylo. To carry this out, the beggared planetary government has commissioned the crew of the aging, if powerful asteroid-cracker Caroline Rowland to make the three-month journey to a distant asteroid belt and tug a selected asteroid back into orbit for conversion into a space station. This is difficult enough by itself, but located in a strategic demilitarized zone between two rival interstellar hegemons, Tylo and it's project may be the flashpoint for a conflict of apocalyptic proportions, with the Caroline Rowland and her crew as the spark that lights the tinder. This is the debut novella for the world of Starpiercer, a planned series of novels set in the 200-world region of Solace with accompanying illustrations, sketches, maps, technical details and more. Read along to meet alien species, experience real and speculative technologies, and follow a sprawling interconnected narrative over multiple novels and multiple series, with fully realized histories, culture groups, physics, biology, anthropology and thousands of pages of worldbuilding. This story has been fully written, and more sections will be published daily, hourly, or in other chunks.Concluida
Terra's God incarnate (Arknights x Male OC)
In the darkest trenches of Iberia's ocean, where light has never touched, something ancient stirs. Born as nothing more than a fragile aquatic creature, it should have perished against the endless storms and the poison of Originium. But Terra is a world of change, and change demands survival. Bombarded by Catastrophes, consumed by Originium, and reshaped by forces beyond comprehension, the creature begins to evolve. Each transformation tears its body apart, only to rebuild it stronger, faster, more terrifying than before. From the sea to the land, from crawling beast to towering colossus, it adapts - it endures. Until at last, it emerges. No longer a mindless animal, but an apex beyond nature. A titan that walks the land, a living engine of destruction, crowned with the name: Ultima. To some, it is Terra's final disaster - the harbinger of extinction. To others, it is the only force powerful enough to stand against the horrors yet to come. Hope or doom, savior or executioner - its roar will decide the fate of the world.![Shattered Reality of Two Worlds [Arknights Fanfic]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/397106032-256-k443682.jpg)
Shattered Reality of Two Worlds [Arknights Fanfic]
"We never anticipated the worst-case scenario. No one imagined this day would come-and now, unprepared and disoriented, we find ourselves on an unfamiliar world." "Are we no longer in ours home?" Everything changed in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the world we knew was gone. Are we truly still on the same planet? All we can do now is look upward, confront the unknown, and keep moving forward-into a world that offers no clear answers, only questions. Beneath the scorching Sands of Desolate Deserts, Beyond the Depths of Frost-Laden Forests, Atop the Highest, most Unforgiving Peaks, Lurking within the Shadows of our own Fears, Beneath the Silence Wave of Deep Blue Sea, Even amidst the Fields of Silent, a Witness Flowers. Does this mark the trial of a god? A divine plan? Or is it merely an opportunity-ours to seize or squander as the sun sets on what once was? Let us hope we are prepared for the worst... When two worlds collide, what will follow? Will reason prevail? Will they seek mutual understanding, or will ambition and fear lead us to go M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction) a War Without Reason? [Literally The Modern-Future era (Earth) x Terra (Arknights) shinanigan]
Glass Heart
After the Earth's magnetic field collapsed, the planet was bombarded with unfiltered solar radiation. The skies burned. Cities turned to dust. Survivors now live in massive airborne citadels, floating high above the toxic surface in a fragile balance of climate, class, and control. Each citizen's survival depends on a Glass Heart - a biomechanical implant powered by solar energy, calibrated to their social rank. The elite bask in artificial sunlight and live for centuries. The lower castes, confined to the shadowed underlayers, burn out fast - their hearts dimming with every passing year. Aella, born in the shadow-tier, works as a solar mechanic, servicing the light panels that keep the city afloat. One wrong move, and she risks exposure to raw light - a death sentence. She lives quietly, surviving by routine... until one night, she's ordered to repair a core in the upper citadel. There, she meets Cassian, a solar prince with a perfect Glass Heart - blindingly bright, surgically beautiful, and destined to rule the sky. Their connection is immediate. Impossible. Reckless. Every moment Aella spends near him overcharges her failing heart, threatening to burn her alive. Every second Cassian defies his caste by being with her dims his - an irreversible sign of corruption. But as their stolen encounters grow deeper, they uncover a secret buried in the light system: the citadel is failing. The elite's immortality depends on draining the hearts of the poor. Every bright Glass Heart comes at the cost of hundreds of dimmed ones. Including Aella's. They can run - and die faster. Or they can ignite a revolution powered by love, truth, and the one thing the elite can't manufacture: sacrifice. Because love isn't forbidden. It's just fatal.

Snow
After an apocalyptic event that thrusts the world into a new ice age, Calestia - a 17-year-old girl with a strong will - must learn to survive on a land infested with gangs, guns, and distrust. ***** Nobody knows what day it is anymore. Nobody knows the month, the day of the week...and the only way to tell time is by the slight change in the color of the sky from grey to black every twenty-four hours. If a day even is twenty-four hours anymore. The planet is dead. The people are dead. Snow falls down upon piles of bodies like the ash of a volcanic eruption. Except, the snow doesn't stop. It never does. It continues to fall and fall until you wonder if it is even possible for another flake to come down and land silently in your hair. But it does. They do. There are few survivors of what the remaining have started to call the end of the world. The Apocalypse. Few who are still brave or scared of death enough to face the torture that is living. I am one of those survivors. Book One of the Snow Series Highest ranking: #3 in Sci-Fi Watty's ShortlistedConcluida
Robbin
He seemed to be in pain again, squeezing his side, so she looked away. "Help will come soon," he repeated distantly. It was a dream. She was certain now. Real people didn't worry about such things... Terra is all but interesting. She's shy but a little bit blunt, pretty but a little unconventional, and a repellent to any form of attention or recognition except that of high school bullies and unimpressed family members ever since Gran died. But that's all about to change, because in the dangerous world of Carynthia, someone thinks she's worth protecting... and everyone else wants her dead.Concluida
Gaslight Trials | The Wattys2023 Shortlister ✔️
| 𝟳𝘅 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗗 ·|| HUNGER GAMES x CINDER || ONC 2023 Honorable Mention Amidst the escalating unrest between the windborne utopian city of Lighthaven and its seedy, oppressed underbelly Fumedge, the Grand Duke of Lighthaven, Lucius Sextus, comes up with an ingenious solution. To provide much-wanted respite from the brewing conflict, and achieve the apparent-if-temporary unity, he organizes Gaslight Trials - a highly entertaining panem-et-circenses combat event in the Pits. The combatants may use all steam and thaumaturgy powered augmentations at their disposal, and there is only one rule: defeat, or be defeated. The reward for the last one standing? A chance to start their life anew. A brass key to the city of Lighthaven with a luxurious mansion to call their own within, as well as an aeroship to command. When eighteen-year-old Veda Igglesden steps forward to take her timeworn adoptive father's place in the fight, she might as well be signing her death-sentence. With her eyes fully set on the prize, act-first-think-later Veda must harness the power of technology to try and win for her Papa Otto. Decades of breathing in the toxic air of Fumedge did a number on the old inventor's lungs, and being able to live in the air-filtered Lighthaven would sure come in handy right about now. A high-flying adventure full of gadgetry and intrigue; a pleasing blend of steampunk and postapocalyptic. See Veda unravel the mysterious ploy behind the game's organization, and uncover the truth about her secret origins. Can she cope both with the trials of physical and intellectual prowess, as well as with the trials of life itself: those of love, loss and regret? © 2023 EvelynHail Exclusively on Wattpad Based on prompt 49! Which is (I shan't leave ye hanging :P): "Master the rules of the game until you can play it better than they can." Michael Scott, "The Sorceress" Get ready for steampunkish tinkering,Concluida
