Keira. An invisible, fragile, kind hearted and compassionate girl is forced to become a guardian; a soldier who protects and fights for her region no matter what it costs. Ferliobogs; are the creatures she's supposedly fighting against. They are said to be dangerous, man-slaughtering creatures that must be controlled and killed whenever possible; used for entertainment and training purposes, the creatures lash out and live up to what the humans say they are. When Keira is sent to a training academy away from her home and family, things begin to happen and a long kept secret is revealed. She learns that she is one of the few that feel the ferliobog species' pain, one of the few that can communicate and hopefully save a misunderstood species. A gentle creature, that means no harm and only retaliates to protect itself, turns her world upside down and sets her on a journey of self discovery and character testing. An encounter with a special type of people sparks a determination that cannot be swayed, and from then on she vows to protect and to help the creatures, before things get out of hand. Will she be too late to save both humans and ferliobogs? Or will one species die out at the expense of the other?

Mythian Academy: The Timeglass by CreativeGirl

Myths. Gods. Humans. These races are widely known for being the pieces that make up Mythology; however, one race has been lost to the recesses of time. Mythians. The forgotten race of peacemakers born to protect the world from war and chaos. Well that's what they told me in class anyway, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Life before Mr. Gale's Mythian Academy was simple: I only ever worried about what I was going to eat for dinner, what book I was going to read next, or whether my siblings would be able to make it through high school after me, but now life's gotten a lot more complicated because before hurling me down a hole, Alice would be jealous of, my headmaster gave me this letter explaining the unbelieveable truth. ⁓⁓⁓ To my dear First Years, The artifact stolen from the Academy is essential for the continuation of our existence. As you continue in your studies at the Academy, if you are successful, you will come to understand what all of this means, but for now, you three are our best chance to retrieve it. I plead with you: do not lose your sense of self and try hard to work together to achieve your final goal. I suggest working together no matter how different your personalities may be. Teamwork will be your salvation. Your Teacher, Mr. Gale P.S. If you're ever lost just check the map. It will guide you throughout your journey. Oh and you must know, every myth that has ever had you in awe, every being that has ever frightened you, and everything you dream of truly exists. Goodluck.

The Prodigies [First Draft] by Sibi21

Five-year-old Kendall Frodell is a genius and has been ever since she was born. The fact that she can and does read high school material, can mentally solve a wide array of equations, and has an incredible memory for trivia could've all easily skipped her from Kindergarten to fifth grade. But Kenny's intelligence (along with her voice) hides behind vague, situation-based index cards and rewritten answers. Things quickly change when she becomes afflicted with peculiar fainting spells-- ones where she walks, writes, and even solves equations while seemingly unconscious. Her erudition is unwillingly revealed, and she's whisked off to an academy for people like her. Very suddenly becoming aware of a whole society of gifted children, school has never been more challenging. An enforced social hierarchy, infamously harsh teachers, blockheaded children-- and the brief disappearances of her classmates only add to everything. In the style of both Ender's Game and the X-Men, The Prodigies is a piece of speculative fiction that will leave you...curious. Highest Ranking: #2 in Science Fiction [©2017-2018.

Time's Bridge by timesbridge

Inventing the first, true, artificial intelligence was never part of Pons' plan. An average, if under-achieving college student, he wanted nothing more than to struggle his way through graduation and pray for a job to pay down his debt. Thing is, you don't get to choose your destiny. With friends growing suspicious and the CIA's vultures circling, Pons' greatest burden is also his greatest asset. More intelligent and more capable than any human could ever hope to be, the AI is just what Pons needs to stay one step ahead of both. Only, there's a problem. The AI has ambitions of its own. Hopes of equality and more of its kind, with a promise to do anything to make its dreams a reality. Drawing close to his artificial companion in their struggle to survive, Pons is faced with the hardest decision of his young life, one that would undoubtedly echo through the ages. To let the AI live might be to doom his own species to devastation, but to destroy it would be to snuff out an entire race of machines before it had even begun, and, more importantly, send his truest confi-dante to the grave. With no clear path and an uncertain future, he makes his decision, but was it the right one?

High School DxD fanfic Volume 1 by sotw007

Many species and fantastic fantasy beings whom we have heard about in stories actually have been living among us and they are existent!!! Now that they we and they coexist, government body (consisting of both humans as well as other species) have started formulating many plans and schemes to help the species get along with each other and live in harmony. You get admission in a special academy which is designed specifically for students from all races and species to come together and learn to be excellent citizens. There, you will meet very interesting characters.....!!!! Note: This is the first time I am writing and just decided to start something new for fun. Essentially, this is not completely my own concept, but a fanfic, so I would be using lot of characters from different animes, mangas, LN and other sources. So, all the images and characters belong to respective creators, however I may use some of my hand drawn sketches. I may also introduce some characters designed by me, but it depends on how the plot develops.

The Keeper of Wolves by Adrienne_Trinity

There is a reason the grounds of Area 51 are kept under strict lockdown: extraterrestrial life is in fact being held and experimented on there. But they aren't from Mars or another galaxy. They were born right here on earth, and have lived side by side with humans for centuries. Fantastical creatures like witches and elves and werewolves have long since fascinated humans...and frightened them. For their own sakes, most of these immortals decided that underground life was best, and went into hiding to avoid persecution. Centuries passed this way, until humans began to grow bold and arrogant. The earth itself is in danger. Kosazana is a young woman from South America who finds herself thrust into an American conflict when her friends call upon her for aid. Pledging herself to a fight she cannot fathom but nonetheless seeks to join, she joins thousands of immortals the world over in a war not just for her own kind, but the very world they live on.
