Avarice Blacksteel Book 2 by Xonereth

Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.

Dark Chemistry |18+| (Not Edited) by Leia_LittleBee

"Everything of you is a non-existing dangerous drug, Natalia. And I'm addicted to it." He rasped beside my ear then slowly but seductively brushed his nose on my neck and then my hair like he was smelling my body and my hair. I stopped breathing as I started feeling like I was going to pass out. ❥ If you start loving someone from deep down your heart, you will stop caring about the hurts, miseries, anguishes and traumas that he/she once caused in your life. You'll even be ready to sacrifice your own life for him/her. Love can change your miseries and traumas into peace and happiness, love can change an emotionless monster into a loverboy. If you don't want to love or don't want to be loved then love won't wait for your permission. You won't even realize 'where, when and how' you fell in love. Love can destroy you within a blink, love can bring you happiness and love can even kill you with no mercy. ✧⁠*(⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)✧⁠*⁠。 Natalia Rauf, a simple Bangladeshi girl, was living a peaceful life filled with family warmth, laughter, and the carefree joys of school and friendship. But all of that changed one night like a nightmare. The pull of the forbidden was irresistible, especially for an eighteen-year-old like her, craving excitement with her best friends. They sneaked into an infamous club to discover its secrecy and have fun. Tucked away from the usual haunts, the place thrummed with an eerie allure, promising both thrill and peril in equal measure. They enjoyed, really enjoyed. Unbeknownst to her, a predator's eyes followed her every move from the VIP balcony, lurking in the shadows. What began as a harmless night out would soon spiral into a deadly game of cat and mouse, forcing her to confront the terror of being hunted by a man with no mercy.

The Enigmatic Secret by NexStoriesOfficial

🔥A Tale from the world of the Nexmythos Before the Great Son was born, before the first heartbeat of man, a secret was hidden-between the stars' light and the shadows beyond. Not written in the book of time, but woven into the fabric of the cosmos. Not created-but destined to end a sin that was never forgiven. From the eternal darkness rose three pillars: The Spirit, The Primal Force, and The Unyielding Will. But one of them turned away... and called himself god. The heavens cracked. The stars bled. Time stopped. Light went silent. A seal was engraved into the heart of the universe- readable only by one. A being cast down, not just born. A human in form, but holding power to awaken dead legends and end the greatest evil. This secret does not need to be found. It reveals itself to a heart willing to break, to rebuild the world. And now... he is born. His name is not yet written in history. But soon. The light will rise again. And darkness will ask: "Are you ready for the answer to the secret?" 📖 Don't miss a single chapter of a story you'll never forget! ⚠️ Copyright Disclaimer: This is an original work of fiction by Nex Javar | Nex Stories Official | Nex Stories Chronicles | Nex Stories (YouTube).

The Exiled King | Books 1, 2 & 3 by Calagtic

All 3 Books | Friday Updates "The world was born from nothingness... and to nothingness it may yet return." For centuries, Guardians protected the mortal realm - until the powers, and their wielders, vanished without a trace after a war that nearly shattered the world. Now, 50 years later the powers reappear in six unsuspecting youths who are thrust into a dangerous fight for survival. As chaos stirs in the kingdoms and demons claw their way into the overworld, the newly awakened Guardians must harness their powers and uncover the truth behind the reappearance of an old evil. But something doesn't add up. The deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes-and the more uncertain their path forward. Whispers of an exiled king. A god-killer. A plan that may have been centuries in the making. As destinies unravel and loyalties are tested, one question lingers: What if saving the world... means trusting the very force that could end it? An epic trilogy of gods, mortals, and fates intertwined-where things could have been set in motion long before anyone could have anticipated. For better or for worse, it's all in the hands of the Guardians now...
