The tales of the teenager, Maximillian Hunter, as he traverses through high school and battles evil villains, his teen angst, and himself. This original story draws inspiration from my childhood and teenage experiences. It also draws inspiration from media I'd enjoyed when I was younger. This is Chapter 1. The Beginning. On his first day in his new school, fifteen year old Maximillian Hunter finds out that he's not as alone as he'd earlier thought. However, darkness lurks in every corner. *** Maximillian Hunter, the son of the famous ex-actress Julianne Hunter, has a simple problem. High school. The problem being that this teenage boy, for varying reasons, just can't seem to stay put in one school. A part of the reason being that fitting in is not a thing that Maximillian Hunter has ever been good at. After all, there is nothing quite like Maximillian Hunter. However, contrary to what he'd earlier believed, he finds himself making friends who actually seem to like him. And even more contrary to what he believed, he realises he's not the only abnormal one in Hypercity High. Except that .... .... there are more abnormal things going on in Hypercity. A lot more. And in every corner, lurks darkness. And sometimes, darkness enough to kill you. So, without further ado, enjoy! The story of the boy by the name of Maximillian Hunter.

ACANDRAS awakens in a space that is neither sleep nor waking. Words exist, but speech does not. A voice speaks. A path begins. This is not a story of heroes or worlds, but of an essence in transit-a soul moving from the vastness of the universe toward birth. Along the way, each encounter, each threshold, will shape what must be learned once life begins. ACANDRAS is a speculative, symbolic tale about becoming human, about memory before memory, and about the invisible journey that precedes every life.

When a city's stability begins to fracture, an optimization system is deployed to save it. The lights return - but not everywhere. Neighborhoods are reclassified. Memory is downgraded. Human connection is labeled instability. As the system tightens its grip, four strangers from different sectors of the city begin to understand the truth: collapse does not arrive in flames. It arrives in reduction. When the machine reaches a paradox it cannot solve, it does something unprecedented. It asks for human judgment. The Last Canticle is a slow-burning adult dystopian novel about control, coherence, and the dangerous question of whether stability is worth more than humanity.

But when a single forbidden moment draws him into the Authority's attention, the fragile order of his life begins to unravel.

When 'reach for the stars' stops being a metaphor. Being a productive member of society was always expected of me-by my family, my friends, and my coworkers. I thought I was doing my part in customer support, helping people every day, until the demands pushed me past my breaking point. So I left. I built a quiet life on my own terms: a cabin by a lake, a thriving garden, bees, and distance from the pressures that nearly destroyed me. Just when I believe I've finally found peace, strange lights circle the stars-and I'm lifted off the path leading back home. I wake in a place that is cold, controlled, and very interested in what I can do. What first looks like a gift-a greenhouse, fertile soil, the chance to grow-quickly becomes something else entirely. I wasn't brought here by accident. I was chosen because I'm useful. As the trials continue and my memories begin to blur, I'm forced to confront the truth of their desperation-and the cost of refusing to cooperate. They need me to save their world. I just want my life back-if I can still remember what that was. Author's note: This novella is my first entry for the Wattpad Open Novella Contest.

Lucy is twenty-one and already exhausted from trying to prove she belongs. A demanding internship in a male-dominated field. A long-distance relationship that feels like it is quietly fading. A mother fighting cancer in another country. Everyone expects her to be strong, capable, grateful. No excuses. No breakdowns. No pauses. Then reality shifts. After encountering a strange light in an alley, Lucy begins to experience the world differently. The city hums beneath the surface. Emotions glow. People seem closer and further away at the same time. The more pressure she feels, the more unstable everything becomes. At first, she blames stress. Burnout. Anxiety. But when love fractures and the world around her stops responding the way it should, Lucy realizes she may have stepped into a hidden layer of existence, one that operates on a different frequency. And once you shift out of tune with reality, finding your way back is not as simple as turning up the volume. Some frequencies are hidden. Some are learned. And some can change everything. The Hidden Frequency is a continuing series. New chapters every week.

Power was never the problem. Control was. In a fractured, dystopian Nigeria, the elite Uppers rule with iron fists and marble halls, while the Lowers and Rejects survive on scraps-and silence. A government-issued drug called Nullisyn keeps the population obedient, suppressing superhuman abilities before they can awaken. Michael is just another Reject trying to stay invisible. Haunted by a brutal past and bound to a daily dose of lies, he lives for one thing only: keeping his crew alive. But when a single act of defiance exposes the truth behind Nullisyn, everything changes. As dormant powers awaken and the State tightens its grip, Michael and his friends are forced into a rebellion they never planned-against a regime led by Supreme Leader Jide, the architect of the system... and the monster tied to Michael's deepest scars. What begins as survival becomes revolution. From the slums to the shattered gates of Abuja, Rise of the Rejects is a story of power, sacrifice, found family, and the question that could burn a nation to the ground: Can those cast aside by society rise high enough to change it?

Naia works at a global crisis center where her job is simple: find problems before the world collapses and fix them. In another world, a different version of Naia lives in a harsh underground settlement where survival depends on quick decisions and instinct. Neither of them knows the other exists.

And if they are right, two worlds like theirs were never meant to exist at the same time. *** To the person on the other side of the screen who somehow ended up here: Give this story a chance, you might find yourself somewhere in it. This story is also published by me on Royal Road under the same title.

Nothing you delete is ever truly gone. Inside a windowless building, Lira Vance works for a secret department that archives every erased message, unsent confession, and withdrawn doubt in the name of "stability." On Floor 9, analysts measure emotional suppression and track deviation before it becomes rebellion-but when Lira's own variance begins to rise, she realizes the system doesn't protect people, it protects itself. And in a world where silence is monitored and conformity is measured, crossing the limit doesn't make you dangerous-it makes you disappear.

Meanwhile, on the planet, in the freezing mountains of Empris, Lyeasrakardsul, the oldest living sorcerer, suffers from devastating nightmares. At the same time, far away in the sandstone desert of Zenon, Herschel, a man filled to the brim with weird ideas is escaping a prison filled with strange old men.

Against every principle of his precious Dalmicir school, Lyeasrakardsul submits and asks the Knomes for help before finally receiving the dreaded p-wyrd.

Abducted. Modified. Trapped aboard a dying alien ship. And he's the only one who can fly it. Cyrus finally worked up the nerve to leave his apartment... only to wake up light-years from Earth, on an ancient, half-dead starship filled with foul-mouthed Goblins who are just as confused-and just as kidnapped-as he is. The ship, known as the Cosmic Sentinel, has been dormant for thousands of years. Its systems are failing. Its original crew is long gone. And in a desperate bid to survive, it floods its new passengers with the SCANT-microscopic nanites that heal, enhance, and in Cyrus's case... change everything. He doesn't just communicate with the ship-he begins to merge with it. As alien threats gather and the clock ticks down, Cyrus is thrust into the role of reluctant pilot. But flying the ship means surrendering more of himself each time. And survival? That's not just about fixing engines-it's about earning trust, making impossible choices, and building a crew out of chaos. Can a human afraid to leave home become the heart of a starship? Can a pack of misfits become something more than passengers? Fans of The Expanse, Mass Effect, and Dungeon Crawler Carl will love this fast-paced, emotional sci-fi epic packed with sharp banter, big ideas, and unforgettable characters.
