Apocalypse Days: I Rule with Foresight and a Powerful Son

You’d think seeing the future would give me a head start on surviving the apocalypse. I had it all planned—until everything I knew shattered when my husband sacrificed himself to save me and our son. Now it’s just me, my three-year-old son Leo, and my cursed gift of foresight that only seems to kick in when it’s nearly too late. I’m doing my best to keep us safe, to find food, to make some kind of plan— “Mommy?” I glance down, trying to ignore the tug on my pant leg as I focus on our supplies. “Not now, Leo. Mommy’s thinking.” “Mommy!” I sigh and finally look down. My three-year-old is standing there, clutching… I blink. “Leo, where did you get a knife?” He shrugs, grinning like it’s the most natural thing in the world. My heart stutters. “No, really. Where did you find that?” I try not to laugh. I mean, he’s three. Maybe he just—found it somewhere? But the next day, it’s a water bottle. Then, a tiny flashlight, somehow with batteries still inside. I don’t even know what else; he’s pulling things out one by one with the pleased grin of a kid who’s just figured out his favorite game. Well, we may just survive this mess after all. Now, if only the universe could have spared me from him. I don’t even know his name, but I know his type: tall, broad, and annoyingly handsome, with an air of calm control that’s out of place in this chaos. Ex-military, if I had to guess, with a voice that’s just as infuriating as his smirk. The man has a habit of showing up at the worst—or best—possible times, with a gun at the ready and secrets buried as deep as those bright green eyes. I mean, he’s probably useful, but I’m trying to keep my eyes on the prize here: survival. For Leo and me. Because, foresight or no foresight, nothing is guaranteed in this new world—except the fact that people like him are trouble.

DUNGU THE LOST KINGDOM.

In the heart of the Sahara Desert, where only whispers of the past echo across the endless dunes, lies the forgotten kingdom of Dungu—a once-vibrant realm blessed with lush vegetation, shimmering gold, and life-giving waters. Two decades ago, the land thrived under the watchful eyes of sun and land gods, their powers harnessed by the people for prosperity and abundance. But as the flames of greed ignited, the kingdom crumbled, burying its secrets beneath the shifting sands of time. Fast forward, a diverse group of history students embarks on an adventurous trip to explore the Sahara desert. Among them are Ewe Rose, a resourceful young woman with dreams of a brighter future, Nandi Gutt, a spirited girl, Renny Smith, an African American exchange student with depression and a hidden story.Edi Danny, a local boy. When a chance encounter with the remnants of the kingdom awakens the long-dormant powers of the land and sun gods, the four friends find themselves imbued with incredible abilities: the power to summon rain, cultivate flourishing crops, and unearth precious minerals hidden beneath the surface. United by their newfound gifts but burdened by the weight of Dungu's past, they must navigate the complexities of their powers and the responsibilities that come with them. As they unravel the secrets of Dungu, the group faces challenges that test their friendships, courage, and understanding of their place in the world. They must confront the shadows of greed that once toppled the kingdom and learn that true wealth lies not in riches, but in harmony with nature and each other. N:B; The story will handle different individuals not just the female characters. I couldn't find the provision for just Fantasy because it's neither female or male based,you kind of get the point. It's therefore,fantasy, adventure, with elements of historical fiction and magical realism woven throughout.

Stained Sand

Title: Stained Sand In the bustling streets of Mumbai, Rohan, an ordinary high school student, has learned to live with the occasional tremors of life—both literal and metaphorical. However, when an inexplicable event disturbs the peaceful rhythm of his world, Rohan finds himself trapped in a surreal battle between reality and something far more sinister. One morning, while Rohan gets up with playful teasing from his younger siblings, Aarav and Aryan, there is something in the air that is very disconcerting: sand everywhere in great and menacing stretches, as if overnight, has swallowed up the familiar world. The streets start shifting, the school ground begins to shift, even the skies seem to have had the laws of nature torn apart. There's something unnatural with the sand, a weight in the air-as if eyes were watching him, waiting for him to make a move. It all happens when Rohan finds himself faced with a strange man who comes from the sky, garbed in flowing white robes, and tells him that he is very, very far from ordinary. Actually, Rohan leads a life full of hidden powers, wanted by darker forces, even though he has lived an apparently very mundane life in Mumbai. As the man with strange abilities challenged Rohan, manipulating the sand around them into deadly weapons and illusions, Rohan realized that he was no longer a student. He would have to stand up to the forces of this mysterious stranger, who either wanted to wake up his latent powers or destroy him once and for all. With the sand constantly shifting, it reveals more and more of its secrets, and Rohan comes to understand that his life is connected to something much greater than he could have ever imagined: bound by ancient powers, forgotten gods, and a dimension-spanning conflict. Torn by his own identity and the depth of his powers, Rohan must fight his way through this new world full of fatal enemies, obscured truths, and dark alliances. But sand is not his only enemy: old friends, childhood memories, and even the ones he loves may be part of a larger game that may destroy everything he holds dear. Can Rohan find out about his powers before it is too late, or will the dunes of destiny bury him and the world in an eternal storm?

The Adventure of Piggy Girl

Hi I'm Gold, chubby, not so beautiful, 5 feet and 1 inches ang height, 70 kilograms ang timbang, at 20 years old. Yes that's me, alam kong pangit at mataba ako so what? Di bali ng mataba at least may hot boyfriend ako. Ayaw niyong maniwala? Pwes ikukwento ko sa inyo kung paano ako nakabinggit ng gwapong jowa. Sabado ng gabi, naglalakad lang ako sa divisoria namili kasi ako ng mga gamit para sa pagbabawas ko ng timbang. Plano ko ng magbagong buhay. New Year's resolution ko kahit Octobre na ngayon. Kalalabas ko lang sa ukay-ukayan ni Lola Doris, sa gilid ng tindahan niya ay may eskinata , short cut papunta sa aming bahay. Pumasok na ako sa eskinita ng may mapansin akong umiilaw sa basurahan. "Ba't umiilaw to? Baka may LED flashlight sayang naman kung tinapon lang." Lumapit ako sa trash can, kahit mabaho ay binuksan ko ito. "Wow! Di pala to flashlight ito yung sa shopee na korteng buwan na umiilaw. Ba't naman to tinapon!" Nilagay ko sa daan ang mga pinamili ko, kumuha ako ng wet wipes sa bag at pinunasan ito. Matapos ko itong mapunasan tiningnan ko ulit kung may dumi pa, sa gitna nito may kaunti pang dumi na natira kaya pinunasan ko ulit. Ng idikit ko ang aking hintuturo para punasan ito bigla nalang parang may switch na napindot ko at umilaw ng malakas. Nabitawan ko ang buwan, biglang lumindol, may malakas na hangin na parang hipo hipo na hinihigop ang lahat ng mga basura, dahon, mga damit sa ukay ukay, lamesa, isda at iba pang gamit na nasa divisoria. Hindi ako makapagsalita, di rin makakilos dahil sa sobrang takot. Nakatingin lang ako sa buwan. Sa utak ko, nasasayangan ako sa mga nagastos ko sa mga pinamili ko dahil ang mga panty,bra na victorias secret sa ukay ukay ko lang nabinili ay hinigop din. Malakas na tilian ang naririnig ko, ako naman ay naiihi sa takot dahil unti-unti rin akong hinihigop, hangang sa paliit ng paliit ng nakikita ko. May kahoy na lamesa ang lumipad papunta sa akin at natamaan ako sa ulo.
