    Part 2 : This story begins during the canon timeline, bridges world-breaking events, and continues past the series finale. Dracule Marya Zaleska has always lived in the shadow of her father, Dracule Mihawk, the world's greatest swordsman. But Marya is no ordinary heir to a legendary name. Gifted with the enigmatic Mist Mist no Mi (Mythical Logia Achlys), she wields the power to summon the fog of death and manipulate the veil between the living and the dead. Yet, this power is both a blessing and a curse, as it binds her to a destiny she does not yet understand. Determined to escape her father's towering legacy, Marya sets out on a journey to uncover the truth about her mother, a woman shrouded in mystery who sacrificed herself to protect a secret so profound it could shake the foundations of the world. Along the way, Marya discovers fragments of her mother's past-clues that lead her to ancient ruins, forgotten battles, and a conspiracy that ties her family to the origins of the Devil Fruits themselves. But the closer Marya gets to the truth, the more she realizes that her parents' sacrifices were not just for her sake-they were to protect the world from a looming catastrophe. As the line between ally and enemy blurs, Marya must confront the darkness within herself and decide whether to embrace her deadly powers or reject them to forge her own path. "Dracule Marya Zaleska: Oni Phantom - Devil Fruit Origins" is a tale of legacy, sacrifice, and self-discovery. In a world where the past and present collide, Marya's journey will reveal the secrets her mother died to protect and challenge her to rise above the shadows of her name to become a legend in her own right.

    I feel like Nikke is a slightly misunderstood game. If you can convince someone to look past the obvious, you can discover a great game to play anywhere. Mostly in private. So I want to honor that love from into my very first story here on Wattpad! I see very few stories about Nikke, so I will join them. Whether I am somehow popular from this or no one cares about it, I will do this to respect one of my favorite games. I would like to note before hand that this story is inspired by Attackingoreos and 0SRatz. These two have made some great stories about Nikke and if you just want to read more Nikke content, please check them out and support them! I will always love their stories, but I will try not to do exactly what they do. That is not how you become a better writer! I feel like if you are here, you know at least a little about Nikke, so I won't waste your time here. Let's just jump into the story!

    FOURFOLD Sci-Fi Fantasy | Long-Form Saga | Ongoing The world does not end. It updates. In the year 2126, humanity creates FOURFOLD. Not a game. Not an escape. A world. Inside FOURFOLD, continents evolve, cities remember, and time moves forward whether anyone is watching or not. NPCs carry memory. Power is not given by shortcuts, rankings, or luck, but earned through presence, patience, and consequence. This is not a story about being the strongest. It is a story about staying. FOURFOLD blends the long journey of epic fantasy with the permanence of science fiction. A world where logging out does not pause history, where victories leave scars, and where legacy matters more than levels. Planned as a 500-chapter saga, this story is written as a complete world. Acts, arcs, and consequences are already set. Read slowly. This world will still be here when you return.

    Set in the quiet coastal town of Toveda Bay, Dread of the Ocean follows Osheuna, a sheltered, artistic teenage girl raised in a lighthouse overlooking restless waters. Homeschooled by her father, Chandler Winoski, Osheuna's world is small but rich - filled with books, paintings, and the steady rhythm of the sea. Everything changes the night a violent storm drives a fishing boat into their dock. From that wreckage emerges Grusha Tabose, the son of a fisherman bound to the tides and to a family legacy rooted deep in the bay. His arrival pulls Osheuna out of isolation and into a life she's never known - school, friendships, first love, and the messy beauty of growing up in a town where everyone knows your name and your secrets. But Toveda Bay is not just a town. As Osheuna begins attending Toveda Academy and forming connections beyond the lighthouse, she becomes increasingly drawn to a mystery long embedded in her home: a strange painting signed by an unknown artist, H. Ashler, whose work seems to echo the ocean itself. What begins as curiosity slowly unravels into something far older and far more dangerous than small-town drama. Beneath the romance, the friendships, and the heartbreak, the sea watches. The ocean in Toveda Bay is not passive. It remembers. It reacts. And it has been waiting. As Osheuna and Grusha grow closer, they are unknowingly pulled toward a truth that ties together art, legacy, and a presence lurking beneath the waves - a force that does not announce itself with storms alone, but with silence, electricity, and dread. Dread of the Ocean is a supernatural coming-of-age story about first love, identity, and the quiet terror of realizing that the place you call home may be alive - and may have chosen you.

    Civilization is dead. Long live the Math. Five years ago, the world rotted into the "Grey." While the rest of humanity panicked, Arthur Penhaligon calculated. Now, Arthur is the reluctant King of New Frankfurt-an island fortress of electricity, steam power, and ruthless logic. Under his "Standard," 15,000 survivors have found safety from the monsters on the mainland. But the safety is a lie. The island is bursting at the seams. Families are sleeping in shifts. The coal reserves are empty. The equation for survival has changed, and the result is Zero. To save his people from suffocating in their own sanctuary, Arthur must do the one thing his logic screams against: Invade the dead world. Leading an army of citizen-soldiers-fathers and teachers armed with needle guns and desperate hope-Arthur must carve a new kingdom out of the ashes of the old one. He has the blueprints for a perfect city, but to build it, he has to conquer a million ghosts. The Era of the Island is over. The Era of Expansion has begun.

Now, bound to the power of the four great Looms-Draco, Aurion, Calmera, and Noctus-Kaia must master the threads of destiny before the Enmity devours this world, too. The library didn't let her go.

    For four thousand years, the city of Eldrith has floated in a star-choked void, protected by the violet light of the Foundation Arch. The citizens believe they are the last safe haven in the universe. They are wrong. Lyra Galen is a spatial magus of the High Ridge, a prodigy born to pluck the fabric of reality and uphold a legacy of unyielding stone. Her life is one of prestige and pressure-until the Festival of Awakening goes wrong. A shockwave from the void plunges the city into darkness, leaving the foundations of Eldrith shivering in the silence. While the Great Houses hunt for a scapegoat, the city's elite turn their eyes toward the only instability they've ever known: Ewan, Lyra's quiet, fragile brother. To the world, Ewan is a "sickly bird" who withers when the city's light grows too bright. To Lyra, he is the only person worth protecting in a world built on ancient pride. But as the air begins to thin and the "Lumen-Dysphoria" takes hold of the city, Lyra discovers that the fracture in the stone is nothing compared to the lies buried in her own home. A three-hundred-year-old secret is bleeding through the cracks of the manor.

    Words are woven into the very fabric of Velnari - sharp as sunlight, fluid as moonlight. For a thousand years, the Velnari have lived by their sacred scripts, building a world where language holds the power to shape reality. But the Shadow people have lost their words entirely. Their memories fade like mist, their lives slipping away with every moment of silence. Led by Malak, they invade Velnari to take what they need to survive. Princess Elara XII is one of the rare Weave-Connected who can master both sun and moon scripts. She knows that war will destroy everything both peoples hold dear. With loyal allies by her side - and Malak's own daughter fighting for change - Elara must uncover a forgotten truth: the Velnari and Shadows were once one people, torn apart by tragedy. To save their worlds, they must forge a weapon of unity - The Lunar Codex Blade - and learn that strength lies not in keeping words separate, but in weaving them together into a new song.

    Knowledge is currency. Alchemy is knowledge. Most people don't know it exists. Those who do call it heresy. Those who practice it call it ascension. Man wakes in the lightless depths of Tauran City Prison with no records, no past-only a vocabulary that doesn't belong to him. In a facility built to process human bodies, ignorance is a death sentence. To survive, he bonds with a parasitic alchemical metal: a weapon that grows stronger with blood, memory, and use. But power always comes at a price he doesn't yet understand. Guided by a man who knows too much and a girl who should not have survived this long, he descends through a system where alchemy is graded, identities fracture, and nothing is free. You are not a prisoner. You are a specimen. And ascension has already begun..

    I awakened to a truth that had no beginning. The Maw was no longer a place I traversed-it was a function of my existence, an absence that moved because I willed it to. As I drifted through what once passed for boundaries, I learned that the world had already begun to rot long before I ever touched it. Energy meant to flow outward had stagnated, piling upon reality like sediment, warping laws, beings, and even causality itself. What others called imbalance, I recognized as inevitability. Fragments of forgotten systems, remnants of gods who mistook structure for authority, and observers who had survived by standing still all turned their attention toward me. They believed the Maw was the threat. They were wrong. The Maw was merely the symptom. I was the correction that emerged when the world refused to resolve its own contradictions. With every step, I understood more-not just how the world functioned, but why it no longer deserved to function as it once did. This volume follows my quiet integration into existence itself: no grand declarations, no borrowed destiny-only the slow, irreversible realization that I was no longer bound by origin, system, or design. The question was never whether the world could survive me. It was whether anything should remain unchanged after understanding the truth I now carried.

    In a city where magic flows like code-compiled, structured, auditable-Vex has learned to survive by being useful. They cannot cast. Every spell crashes with a fatal error no diagnostic can explain. So they've become a translator, a compiler, making everyone else's magic work while their own refuses. When wild-code appears-magic that flows from intention rather than syntax, impossible to regulate or suppress-the Mage Council sees risk. Vex sees people whose magic works differently, not wrongly. People the system rejected first. Commissioned to help eliminate wild-code, Vex must choose between the safety of invisibility and the risk of being seen. Between a career built on working around their "limitation" and fighting to prove it was never a limitation at all. A novel about systems that claim to be neutral, magic that refuses to lie, and the cost of rewriting infrastructure when you can't stay invisible anymore. Updates Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays!

Years later, Lucan returns to Valthera, still carrying a power that was never meant to be completed. In a world of divine order, he is the only broken note. Some gifts are blessings.
