Maze Runner Scorch Trials Cranks

Ten strangers are thrust into an enormous, ever-changing maze with no explanation. Within its towering walls lie ten brutal challenges, each more dangerous than the last. Forced to rely on one another, they must confront not only the terrors of the labyrinth but also the secrets they each carry. As alliances form and break, the question looms: is survival possible when the maze itself seems alive, and the cost of failure is death?

In a world where the elements reign supreme, balance is the fragile thread that holds the realms together. Fire scorches, water soothes, earth endures, and air roams free four forces locked in an eternal dance of creation and destruction. But when the balance falters and chaos begins to unravel the fabric of the realms, the ancient prophecy whispers of salvation bound in an unlikely union. Lena, a reluctant water-bearer with a power she barely understands, has lived her life in the quiet safety of the Water Realm, far from the fiery chaos of her world’s conflicts. But when she stumbles into the forbidden forest and meets Darius, a dangerously alluring fire-wielder haunted by his own demons, her destiny takes a scorching turn. Drawn together by forces they cannot control, their connection ignites a bond as fierce and unpredictable as the elements themselves. To restore balance to their world, they must surrender to the magic that binds them body and soul even as it threatens to consume them both. As ancient enemies rise and the realms crumble, Lena and Darius face an impossible choice: embrace the passion that could save their world or resist the flames that might destroy it. "Fire Beneath the Waves" is a tale of forbidden love, elemental magic, and a passion powerful enough to burn the seas.

To unlock his true potential, Arden must traverse five elemental trials, each representing the core aspects of existence: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Shadow. Along his journey, he will battle enemies that challenge not only his strength but his very soul, while forging powerful bonds and unlocking abilities beyond imagination. As Arden’s trials intensify, the line between ally and enemy blurs. With each victory, the cost of his power grows, threatening his humanity and plunging him deeper into a world of divine secrets, forgotten gods, and dark conspiracies. Will he become the Sovereign of the Elements, or will the shadows of his past consume him before he can truly rise?

A new work from the author of 'My Senior Brother is Too Steady', welcome to enjoy it! ------------------ In the instant the Earth exploded, the fear of death finally transformed into physical torment, the agony of being scorched seared into the deepest recesses of Yang Ming's memory. "The universe is the abyss." Yang Ming murmured softly among the stars. [PS: Not a game narrative; early game settings will have a complete logical explanation later in the plot. Starting anew on a different track, this isn't in the style of previous works so don't promote it in the old way, treat me as a newcomer. Just entering the domain of interstellar sci-fi, corrections on details are welcome. ]

After meeting an unfortunate death on earth, Sigrid unwillingly transmigrated into a novel world becoming Lady Sigrid Thorin the unwanted wife of the crown prince. She resigned herself to her fate and set a goal to become the empress. But to become the future empress, she had to gain the heart of her husband_the foul tempered Prince Roland Maximus a man that loathed her and would sooner kill her than kiss her. While his heart was too thin for her to squeeze into, it was rather wide for the woman he brought home on returning from a three month expedition, a woman he had sworn to protect forever. The same woman Sigrid was on a mission to destroy, an irreconcilable enemy. With misunderstandings, scheming and jealousy, thus begun Sigrid's trials to win the heart of the man that had undeniably captivated her with his dazzling smile and her mission step over the fake female lead, be crowned empress and change her fate. Excerpt. "A knife to the throat of your husband that has just returned from war, what do you hope to accomplish crown princess?" Sigrid's eyes trailed down, to the silver blade pressed against her abdomen, she raised her head and laughed snidely. "A knife to the belly of your wife as soon as you return from war, other men start by saying, honey i am home. They also don't bring home unwanted canaries as presents for their wives." Roland leaned down with a part smug and part angry smoldering look in his eyes. It was if he wished to set her on fire, and not in the passionate way. "Honey i am home." he slowly said, dragging the words out. Sigrid trailed the knife slowly over his neck, almost as if she was caressing it with her fingers. "Welcome back, i hope you don't mind but i intend to kill that canary. If you want to bring me a gift next time, try gold and diamonds. I can also accept you, just wrap a ribbon around your bare chest."

As all kids do, Hera wanted to be an explorer. Sadly when she turned 18 she discovered that her stats and lack of skills made her fail the requirements to become one, and she went to work on a bookstore. That should have been the end of her story. But when she wins a lottery to have her level up she discovers a hidden skill and a rare one at that. The system gave her dream back, and this time she is not letting it go. ############################## The story is about a world where game-like systems are the norm, Everyone has a level, status and even skills are a common thing. If your stats are good you can even become an explorer, someone that ventures inside a place called MAZE, a dungeon of sorts filled with monsters creatures and things that the regular world is missing such as magic. The story follows Hera, a woman who wanted to be an explorer but her status were too low to become one. One day she wins a raffle that allows her to level up for the first time giving her the chance to achieve her childhood dream. It's more about how things work and what you can do with them than about power or revenge. The rhythm might be a bit slow for some but that is the idea. I want to give sort of a slice of life feeling to most of it. ###############################

Power through ascension, trials of the body and mind. Follow a young man on his path to supremacy and adulthood.

For countless millennia, Earth has endured the rise and fall of nine great civilizations. Each civilization, upon reaching a certain pinnacle of progress, has faced a devastating catastrophe—none have survived. Now, with the ninth civilization on the brink of collapse, the apocalypse has arrived, and nearly 30 billion people have had their memories erased before being thrown into a game of survival. Logan Lane felt very confused when he suddenly found himself on a small island, only seven meters wide and seven meters long. Just a moment ago, he remembered lying in a hospital bed. He looked around. The island had only one evergreen tree and a tall, weathered stone pillar. The sky above was bright, but the ocean around him looked dark and endless. “What is happening? I was in a hospital just now… how am I here?” he said to himself, voice trembling. Then an electronic, emotionless voice spoke in his mind: “Welcome to the Survival Games. You are a survivor from the ninth batch of civilizations. There are five ‘realms of hardship’ in this world: the Arcane Ice Sea, the Eclipse Forest, the Ironhearts Domain, the Dread Sands, and the Celestial Skyline. Each realm has different rules, but the goal is always the same: survive.”

I would like to firstly say that this is my first time writing, so don't expect everything to be perfect for a while. 2. This story is a slow/fast-paced reading. It'll have a mix of both. Some chapters will feel slower because it is, and others will feel faster because it is. 3. It does have romance in it and I wasn't sure to add cultivation because it's more like meditation and like ki gathering and things. However, after going through my thoughts, it was basically the same thing, so I just did it. 4. It's a little all over the place for I'd say the first 6–8 chapters maybe more? But It'll will slowly come together, hopefully… 5. If you do enjoy this, make sure to give it a review and ask other people to read! 6. If there are any questions at all, ask in the comments, and I'll be answering questions every 10 chapters. 7. So update to the list above ^ Romance has been removed due to it taking the first slot and having it show up primarily (I think primarily) as romance and not showing the others before you click on the actual book. It'll still have romance, so don't worry. Nothing will change 8. I would also like to clarify that this is an original work by me, and the clothes i decided to use for the characters, "hanfu" mainly, I do not mean any disrespect to anyone by using it as a novel that is made within america if anyone thought anything like that. I'm simply doing it because i like the design and i think they look extremely cool and also beautiful to me. So again i don't mean any disrespect if im wording any of it wrong. I just really like them.

They called her Moon—a name that raised eyebrows and invited questions she preferred not to answer. With empty pockets and an emptier stomach, she wandered until she reached the borders of Blace, a country she'd only heard whispered about in taverns. But timing had never been her strong suit. The nation was at war, desperately recruiting anyone who could hold a weapon. The military's offer seemed simple enough: three meals a day, a roof overhead, and a bed to call her own. In exchange, she'd wear their uniform. Moon should have known better—nothing comes that cheap. Now she had a year or less to transform from a street-smart survivor into a soldier, under the watchful eye of Lieutenant Harrington. The Lieutenant was a man carved from winter itself, with ice in his veins and frost in his voice. He had no patience for weakness—or as he called them, "chickens"—and Moon quickly learned that his training methods matched his reputation. As she fumbled with her rifle and struggled through combat drills, one thought kept haunting her: in choosing a way to survive, she might have just signed her own death warrant.

He found himself in a strange world, but he wasn't the only one there, there were so many others like him. He escapes that world, but death, and enemies from the new world are more than he imagined.

Alright, Daven. You're alive. Barely. You woke up half-drowned in the ocean, washed up on some bizarre island with no idea how you got here or what’s going on. But hey, at least you’re still breathing. This has to be some survival game, right? Any second now, someone’s going to pop out of the jungle, cameras in tow, and yell, “Surprise!” Or... maybe not. So, here’s the plan: Step one—don’t die. Step two—find food. Step three—figure out why Aris thinks she’s the leader and why Alec’s face looks like he’s scheming something. Step four—survive whatever that terrifying growl was from the jungle. Step five—try not to freak out every time someone acts like they know more than you. I’ve survived finals, gym class, and Aunt Linda’s cooking. I can handle this. Unless, of course, the squirrels on this island are secretly masterminds. Or worse, if Alec’s the type who’d let me starve just for a laugh. This island doesn’t know what it’s messing with. Let’s show it who’s in charge.
