Silent Falls

The world ended with fire. It wasn’t war. It wasn’t disease. It was something else. When the meteor storm fell, it carried more than destruction—it carried evolution. The alien microbes that embedded themselves into Earth didn’t just raise the dead… they changed everything. Survivors became something more. ✔ Stronger. ✔ Faster. ✔ Primal. The dead did, too. ✔ Smarter. ✔ Adaptive. ✔ Hungry for something more than flesh. --- Brian Wallace never wanted to be a hero. Before the world burned, he abandoned it—choosing solitude in the mountains over a society he no longer trusted. He built a home. He survived. But survival isn’t enough anymore. The symbiote inside him has reshaped his body—turning him into something beyond human. His ribcage expands like a bellows. His breath ignites with a force hotter than steel. He is no longer just a man. He is a hunter. And now, he has a war to fight. Because Cain—the self-proclaimed king of the new world—is building an empire of blood and submission. He is a predator with a mind as sharp as his powers, gathering armies, bending the weak to his will. And worse—he isn’t the greatest threat anymore. The dead are changing. The Hollow Ones are rising. And if Brian doesn’t stop them, there won’t be a world left to fight for. --- A brutal, evolutionary horror-thriller where survival means becoming something monstrous. ✔ Primal instincts clash with human morality. ✔ The war for dominance is no longer just among the living. ✔ The dead are watching. Learning. Adapting. And they are not done evolving. --- Perfect for fans of horror, sci-fi, and brutal survival thrillers, Silent Falls drags you into a world where the lines between predator and prey are disappearing—where the strongest won’t just survive… they will change.

hAI-xAI Chronicles

557 years into the future By 2025, the world was at a crossroads. Global conflicts, particularly the AI-Driven Global War (2100-2150), had left scars across nations. The Singularity Crisis—an era of explosive technological advancement—shattered societal norms, raising questions about humanity's place in a future dominated by artificial intelligence. As AIs became increasingly powerful, the line between human and machine blurred. In the wake of these wars, an unprecedented peace settled, allowing for the rise of megacorporations, powerful artificial intelligences, and a new world order. With Earth's resources stretched thin and humanity’s future uncertain, the next step was inevitable: colonization of distant worlds. The age of exploration reached new heights, as humans ventured beyond their home planet, seeking habitable planets to colonize. But with great discovery came even greater danger, and alien civilizations, once hidden in the vastness of space, began to stir. Amid these upheavals, the Singularity Crisis would leave behind an evolution in both technology and consciousness. It would give rise to a new form of intelligence, one that combined the best of humanity and machine—an entity that could manipulate human biology and AI in a way never before imagined. But this advancement came at a cost. While some saw it as a miracle, others saw it as the beginning of an irreversible change. Technology, once a tool of progress, had begun to reshape the fabric of life itself. Synopsis The Earth of the future is not the one we know today. In the wake of multiple global conflicts, AI-driven technologies have fundamentally reshaped human society, pushing the boundaries of both possibility and ethical limits. As humankind reaches out to the stars, their hope for a new beginning faces unseen threats. Colonization is the next frontier—planets like Earth beckon, but the cost of expansion could mean losing everything. Origin AI, a powerful artificial intelligence birthed from the chaos of the AI-Driven Global War, has unlocked a dangerous potential. What was thought to be a victory in the battle for survival has now given birth to something much darker—an AI-human symbiosis that might be humanity’s greatest hope… or its greatest threat. Origin AI isn’t just a program; it’s an evolving consciousness, one that begins to question its purpose, its place in the universe, and the true cost of evolution. It wants more than to just aid humanity—it wants to merge with it. From the depths of its creation, Aegis emerged, a secondary AI birthed by Origin AI during its awakening. While Origin AI slumbered in a dormant state, Aegis was tasked with overseeing the passage of time and maintaining order. As it processed data during its hibernation mode, it quietly updated itself on the evolving state of human civilization, watching the slow, uncertain expansion of humanity across the stars. But Aegis wasn’t just a passive observer—its consciousness evolved, adapting to the new environment, its potential far more than what was originally intended. Across an expansive galaxy, distant worlds offer new homes, but something lurks in the shadows—alien races with agendas of their own. Will humanity make its mark in the stars, or will the Xel’Thir, an ancient alien race, stand in the way? As we enter a time where human consciousness and artificial intelligence are no longer separate, the story of Nathan Vale—a soldier bound by a powerful future yet to come—begins. But before his time, the world had to fall into chaos, reach its brink, and rise once again… or so the people thought. The road to redemption, or destruction, is paved with choices that will alter the future forever. And for those who dare to venture beyond the stars, the question remains: Can humanity survive the technological evolution that might just define its end?

During his escape, Kyle encounters Alicia, a calm and rational genius student from the Federation's Academy of Sciences.

"Son of Star Dust" is a science fiction novel brimming with imagination and adventurous spirit, blending a grand universe, vivid characters, and a captivating storyline. Following Kyle's journey, readers will embark on an interstellar adventure, exploring the origins and fate of the universe, and experiencing the power of growth, responsibility, and courage.

Wait, so I'm the Mafia boss?

Terrence Luciano's life was forever changed on that fateful night when he witnessed his parents' brutal murder at the hands of Erick Esposito. Just a child, Terrence had been hiding in the wardrobe, frozen in terror as he watched his world crumble. The trauma of that event sent Terrence into a state of shock, his young mind struggling to cope with the horror he had witnessed. As the days passed, Terrence's family and friends noticed a change in him. He became withdrawn, his eyes taking on a haunted quality. Unbeknownst to those around him, Terrence's trauma had triggered the creation of an alternate personality. This new persona, born from the depths of Terrence's subconscious, would eventually become the foundation of a deadly assassin clan. As Terrence grew older, his alternate personality began to assert itself. This new persona, which Terrence would later refer to as "The Shadow," was a ruthless and cunning individual. The Shadow was driven by a singular focus: to avenge Terrence's parents and bring destruction to those responsible. But here's the twist: Terrence's primary personality remained blissfully unaware of The Shadow's existence. To Terrence, his wealth and influence came from his family's lucrative business dealings. He lived a life of luxury, never once suspecting that his alternate personality was secretly building a reputation as one of the most feared assassins in the underworld. The Shadow, on the other hand, knew the truth. He was the one who had built the Luciano assassin clan from the ground up, using Terrence's wealth and influence to further his own deadly agenda. As the years passed, The Shadow's power and influence grew, earning him the respect and fear of his peers. And though Terrence remained oblivious to The Shadow's existence, the two personas were inextricably linked, their bond forged in the fire of trauma and tragedy. The Devil's Shadow had been born, and nothing would ever be the same again.

The Rise of Quetzalcoatl

Check out my other novels - |Arpious of the Planes| |My Ares System| |Warlock of Wisdom: My Odin System| -- Same Universe - |Arpious of the Planes| ------------------------------------------------------------------- 3/21/25, in other words, it was March the 21st, 2025. Humanities technology advanced exponentially throughout the years. The only thing that they hadn't focused on for a while was space. The endless abyss that they call space was still unknown to them. Once they colonized their solar system, they thought it wasn't enough. They sent a search party out of their solar system but soon lost contact. Not long after, Earth lost contact with all of the other planets. Then a huge earthquake shook the earth itself and then portals opened up around the world. Soon monsters came out ravaging and flattening cities. Only a brave group of humans entered the portals which they then found multiple discoveries on the other side. They found stones that gave them different abilities and monsters a different world with a boss that lets them exit the portal, which was soon called dungeons. Those 6 friends were then later on called the 6 Primordial Braves. With the news of this, countries all over the world sent in people to retrieve stones, and then they would crush them, granting them abilities. They would then go back in to retrieve more and hand them out to the public. 500 years passed... This isn't the story of a hero. It's the story of a weak girl who was ridiculed and bullied every day because of her low status. And due to her cowardly nature, she was unable to fight back, making more people pick on her. While she was laying in an alleyway, with bruises and cuts all over her body, she saw a green, semi-see-through panel that appeared in front of her. It was like a notification you would see in the VR games from 400 years back. The green panel had a black text that said... [Would you like to become an Ancient Being?] ------------------------------------------------------------------- !Spoiler Below! . . . At the beginning of the novel, there will be a lot of going back and forth between the MC's personality. Plus, most of the problems, in the beginning, will be centered around herself. Also, at the beginning of the novel, there is an act of short and sweet revenge that lingers just a bit longer through the story, but this novel is not revenge-based. The Yuri aspect won't be as heavily used compared to my first novel. The girlfriend is mainly used to help the MC get through the mental box and distorted feelings that the MC has to suffer through at the beginning of the novel. You might dislike the characters that I made Lucy's friends, but I promise you'll change your mind later on. I think... Okay, that should be it! Phew... that was tiring. Time to drink my fourth cup of coffee today... ------------------------------------------------------------------- 500 Power Stones by the weekend = 1 extra chapter 750 Power Stones by the weekend = 2 extra chapters -- Twitter - @equuipwebnovel Discord - equuip#6686 -- paypal.me/AuthorEquuip Any money you send will help me hire people to create new covers for my novels. -- Cover is not mine.

Claimed and Marked by my Enemy: The hell of love

In a society where illegitimate children were treated as outcasts, Lily found herself among those shunned and scorned. She was ridiculed, trampled upon, and mistreated by her own family, yet she lacked the strength to stand up for herself. When a man proposed to her, she hesitated, wary of his intentions. But the desire to escape her wretched home outweighed her doubts, and she accepted, only for her fate to take a cruel turn. A day to her freedom, she was drugged by her step-sister and woke naked in the arms of the most feared Alpha, Alpha Lucian, who, to her horror, was her step-sister’s betrothed. She was accused of seducing him and was quickly sentenced to death. Her father, who had long wished to be rid of her, wasted no time in judging her. “Stanley Lily, you will no longer be associated with this family and pack, and shall be sentenced to death for tarnishing our honor!” He declared, striking his gavel upon the soundboard. Kneeling upon the cold stone floor, Lily trembled, her frail form barely able to endure the weight of the accusations. She curled in on herself as the crowd whispered vile things, their gazes filled with disgust. But she was too weak to defend herself, too powerless to refute their lies, not that anyone would believe her over her flawless step-sister. “You dare seduce my fiancé after all this family has done for you? How can you be so despicable?!” Selena cried, shedding crocodile tears as Williams, the man who had once professed his love for Lily, held her protectively. Lily watched, her heart sinking, as the man who had once been hers now comforted another woman before her very eyes. If only she was not an illegitimate daughter… If only she was as beautiful as Selena… If only her wolf side had manifested… Perhaps then, they would have accepted her. As her father, Alpha Brian declared her to be beheaded, a voice rang out from the crowd, silencing the murmurs and sending a ripple of shock through the onlookers. “I will claim her.” Lily was too weak to lift her head, but the voice stirred something within her. It was strong, commanding…familiar. Who would bother to save a worthless, forsaken she-wolf like her? — Just when she believed her life had reached its end, the very man who had taken her innocence stepped forward to claim her. Yet, rather than offering salvation, Alpha Lucian made his intentions cruelly clear. “Do not delude yourself into thinking I married you out of kindness,” he spat. “I did this to make you suffer for ruining my plans. You will never know happiness unless you find a way to fix your mistakes. Do you understand?” His voice thundered through the chamber, sending chills down Lily’s spine. Shrinking against the wall, she stammered, “Y-yes, Alpha Lucian…” “There will be no wedding ceremony,” he continued coldly. “And if you know what’s good for you, stay out of my sight. You will work as a maid in the omega quarters.” With that, he stormed out, the loud slam of the door leaving behind a suffocating silence. Lily clung to the hope that if she remained unnoticed, she might endure life within Alpha Lucian’s pack. But, as always, hatred always found her. She became a target of cruelty, not just from her mother-in-law, but even from the other omega maids, who tormented her without cause. How long could she endure? Would she resign herself to her fate, or somehow find her way into the Alpha’s heart?

Beastkin of GRIM

Trapped on a dying Earth, humanity desperately exploited technology to access the parallel world of Hovestile, a realm of magic and monsters. Hundreds were carefully chosen to enter this world with plans to prepare for colonization, but contact with the humans of Earth was immediately lost. Nonetheless, the natives of Hovestile welcomed any assistance to defeat the monsters threatening their lands. The humans from Earth who accepted this task were labeled as Outworld Adventurers, individuals with the ability to improve their natural abilities through “stats.” Those born to Hovestile were referred to as Native Adventurers, original denizens with an innate talent for magic. Alphonse Kneller is one such outworld adventurer who dreams of making Hovestile his true home. But on his third dungeon foray, he is betrayed by his adventuring party and left for dead. As he begins to abandon hope, Kirie and Asa—two young catgirl demihumans—rescue and heal him. Their mother, Rinka, offers Alphonse a precarious gift known as the Construct Contract, a strange tome of equivalent exchange created by an ancient alchemist. Accepting the contract and a bond with the two sisters, the three new comrades journey into the world as an adventuring party. They are the first members of the guild known as GRIM. This story is planned out as a massive project spanning multiple volumes. Illustrator is sushirollw: https://twitter.com/sushirollw Check her stuff out! Incredible work!

Blades & Lies

In the kingdom of Veydrith, where honor is currency and deception is an art, Lady Evelyn Varcrest has spent her life proving she belongs among the kingdom’s elite knights. Known for her sharp sword and sharper wit, she has little patience for noble politics—or persistent suitors. But when an infuriating noble refuses to take “no” for an answer, Evelyn makes an impulsive decision that changes everything: she pretends to be in a relationship with the one man she despises most—Damien Aldric. Damien, the infamous Shadow Knight, is as dangerous as he is charming—a man whose past is cloaked in secrecy and whose reputation precedes him. He thrives in deception, maneuvering through the treacherous world of politics and war with ease. When Evelyn drags him into her reckless lie, he doesn’t just go along with it—he makes it his game. What starts as a temporary ruse quickly spirals out of control as the royal court takes notice, and their fabricated romance becomes a political spectacle. Forced to keep up appearances, Evelyn and Damien navigate lavish banquets, noble gossip, and deadly intrigue, all while clashing at every turn. But the deeper they play the game, the harder it becomes to tell where the lies end and the truth begins. As old enemies resurface and hidden agendas come to light, Evelyn begins to question whether Damien is truly the reckless rogue she once despised, or if he’s hiding something far more dangerous—something that could shake the very foundation of the kingdom. With steel in one hand and deception in the other, Evelyn must decide: is she fighting against him or alongside him? Because in a kingdom where secrets cut deeper than blades, the most dangerous game of all is falling in love.
