STEM: The Underground City

~When dust turns to gold~ Following an invasion by a reptile-like species called Khalgora in the year 2043, humanity is forced to take a final stance in a gruesome confrontation that threatened it's existence into an apocalyptic demise. After decades of tactical execution of all its skills and resources man triumphs over beast. But only barely. With stenches of death and wails of suffering, the earth is left desolate, infertile with an atmosphere deteriorating at an alarming speed. The only habitat lies below. Year 2311. Welcome to STEM city. STEM (an abbreviation for ' Safe Territorially Erected Megalopolis'), is an underground Empire and home to the surviving earth inhabitants, sheltering them from the harsh conditions of the rubbled earth's surface. But even in this city where intellectual geniuses wheeled a minor underground refuge operation to a major megalopolis, slums existed. These slums like any other, are regions with insufficient supply of amenities from the Megalopolis' authority leading to hunger, suffocation and high rate of death by major lung diseases. Diana and her brother Axel are twin siblings who were born and brought up in these slums, lose everything but even in this great abyss of darkness, find a ray of hope, Polaris. Polaris academy is an institution erected by the collaboration of the major pillaring powers of STEM to raise potential superhumans in skills such as martial arts, elemental abilities, advanced sciences and much more, all to help in the exploration of the earth surface now being roamed by foreign beasts who pose a threat to the underground empire. In a world where the weak were preyed on and only the strong thrived, two poor kids with no background find themselves in this academy among astoundingly skilled minds from powerful families fighting for the same spot as them. Can they survive the competition and level up or will they return to the hell they came from? **** ~Excerpt ~ " Attention all factions, report to the portal station in an hour. A live Khalgora is loose in Flouresce, we need to contain it before any damage is done to civilians. Go!" The message set all students of Polaris in an uproar. **** What happens when humanity's mortal enemy is able to infiltrate this fortified empire? ---------------- A/N: cover obtained from the internet.

Dominion of Shadow

In a world ruled by power-hungry sects and ancient clans, the Netherborn Dominion was once a force of unmatched might, harnessing the chaotic energy of the Abyss. But betrayal led to its fall, its name whispered only in fear and forgotten tales. Now, centuries later, the Obsidian Altar awakens, its dark power rekindled by the return of the Eternal Sovereign—a figure of legend and terror. Gathering a band of outcasts, wanderers, and the desperate, the Sovereign begins to rebuild the Dominion, determined to reclaim its place at the pinnacle of the world. Kael, a young cultivator cursed with untamed dark Qi, is drawn into the Sovereign’s enigmatic fold. With each battle, trial, and deadly mission, Kael learns that power demands sacrifice, and the Abyss takes as much as it gives. Alongside hardened allies like Ryn, a blade-sharp warrior haunted by loss, and Sylas, a rogue whose wit hides deadly precision, Kael must navigate a world of shifting loyalties and escalating war. As the Emberlight Clan rises against them, the Dominion sets its sights on relics of the past—artifacts that could tip the balance of power. But the Abyss is no passive force. It whispers promises of greatness even as it reveals Kael’s darkest fears. The path of the Abyss is one of chaos and conquest, but the question remains: can Kael and the Dominion control its power—or will it consume them all? "Dominion of Shadows" is a tale of dark fantasy, power, and redemption, where alliances are forged in fire, strength is tested in shadow, and the price of ambition may be the soul itself.
