Bluey Grounded

Reika Kagetsu has known nothing but pain her entire life. Abused by her parents from a young age, she's learned to shut off all emotions. Her heart hardened, Reika never cared for saving anyone—she just wanted a place where she could feel the adrenaline of danger. That's how she finds herself at Tenshiko Academy, an institution shrouded in mystery and filled with brutal training. Here, survival isn’t guaranteed. The tests are unforgiving, and the stakes are higher than she ever imagined. If you fail, if you die—no one comes to save you. Tenshiko is no ordinary academy. It's the breeding ground for the Kageshiki, warriors meant to hunt the terrifying Shikiban. But as Reika pushes through the pain of training, it becomes clear that this academy might be hiding something darker. It’s more than just about hunting monsters—it’s about controlling powers, mastering forbidden techniques, and surviving the test of true strength. Reika never expected to uncover the truth about her own connection to the Shikiban or the power that's been dormant within her. She thought she had entered Tenshiko for the adrenaline, but the truth is far more twisted than she could have imagined. Tenshiko isn’t just a hunter’s training ground—it might be the source of a terrifying new breed of hunter. Will Reika survive, or will she fall victim to the very darkness she’s been trained to fight? The path she walks is one of blood, pain, and the whispers of monsters waiting in the shadows.

Rival survivors fight for power, governments scramble for control, but James? He’s preparing for something they’d never expect. Because survival isn’t his true goal. And when the time comes, the world will realize too late—he was never meant to stay.

They are sacrificed, fed to a monstrous creature while the men watch in silence. Left for dead, Nicole awakens a power she never knew she had. Now, she’s out for revenge. The men of Freedis built this world on the blood of women. She will burn it to the ground. #magic #supernatural #nonhumans

Humanity has scattered across the stars, held together only by the unstable surges of Ricci Flow drives and the ancient, fragile Silent Network. Interstellar peace is tenuous at best. The Solarian Confederacy clings to order with rigid traditions and the ominous Mindfire Protocols that keep AI in check, while the ambitious Cygnus Combine pushes the limits of technology and commerce, stoking fear and suspicion. Beneath their cold war, something deeper lurks, waiting. That fragile balance shatters when Relay Node 717—an essential communications hub in the contested Fringe Sector 8—suddenly goes dark. Navigation becomes dangerous, messages stop flowing, and the sector descends into chaos. Solarian Command immediately blames Cygnus, and warships begin to mobilize. The galaxy teeters on the brink. Agent Kaelen Riley of the Solarian Bureau of Cognitive Security is sent to confirm the official story. But as she digs deeper, doubt creeps in. The pieces fit too well. The narrative is too clean. Meanwhile, on the lawless Waypoint Station Epsilon, Jax, a Fringe pilot drowning in debt, finds himself trapped—his ship grounded, his options running out. Desperate for a way out, he takes a job that lands him in the crosshairs of something much bigger. At the same time, xeno-archaeologist Dr. Lena Petrova, stationed near the wreckage, picks up strange energy fluctuations—whispers of something alien beneath the chaos. Fate throws them together, each with their own reasons for digging deeper. Riley wants the truth beyond her orders. Jax needs to escape. Petrova is chasing a mystery that defies known science. Aboard Jax’s battered freighter, the Razor’s Edge, they plunge into the heart of Sector 8, dodging debris, hostile patrols, and their own distrust of each other.

In a world stubbornly grounded in mundane reality, where superpowers are confined to fiction, everything changes on an otherwise ordinary day.

This "Awakening" irrevocably alters their lives, imbuing them with strange abilities they neither understand nor asked for.

Seeker’s Codex is a revised version of “Seeker’s Saga” where Seeker’s Saga is more epic oriented, Seeker’s Codex is more grounded with more info, better writing, better character development, etc. Seeker’s Saga is a high-stakes adventure set in a world where exploration is the greatest pursuit and power comes at a deadly cost.

In the fractured world of Eryndral, where 12 continents—nine grounded, three soaring—teeter on the edge of all-out war, power hums through magic, crude machinery, and the rare pulse of aura. Vyrkanth, a land of iron spires and coal-choked skies on the continent of Draveth, stands at the heart of the storm, its crimson wyrm banner raised against looming threats: orc warbands from Grundthar, elven skyships from Sylvara, and the restless dragons of Ignarath. Amid the clatter of steam carts and the flicker of arcane light, a peasant named Kael Draven emerges from the muck of Lowcrook, his piercing blue eyes—a rarity in a realm of brown and gray—marking him as an outcast, a target of scorn and suspicion.

In the corridors of Bellmare High, chaos is a way of life. Beneath the polished facade of academics and clubs lies an undercurrent of power struggles, secret alliances, and bitter rivalries. This is where Miguel Reyes, a sharp-witted, street-smart teenager, steps into the spotlight-a boy with a troubled past and fists that speak louder than words. Known for his devil-may-care attitude and unmatched fighting prowess, Miguel thought he had seen it all. That is, until she walked into his life. Meet Alessandra "Andi" Moretti-a girl with a face too angelic to be true and a lineage that strikes fear into the hearts of the bravest. The only daughter of a feared mafia boss, Andi arrives at Bellmare High with a mission of her own, and she's determined to keep everyone at arm's length. But destiny has other plans, and Miguel-Bellmare's most infamous troublemaker-becomes the one person who refuses to play by her rules. As tensions rise, Miguel and Andi find themselves caught in a whirlwind of fights both on and off the school grounds. From rival gangs waging turf wars to secretive groups vying for dominance within the school's underground fight club, every battle brings them closer together-and closer to unraveling dangerous secrets that threaten to upend their lives. But this isn't your typical romance. For every stolen glance, there's an enemy lurking in the shadows; for every laugh, there's a bruised knuckle. Miguel and Andi must navigate a labyrinth of trust, betrayal, and unspoken truths, all while grappling with a connection that feels as explosive as it is forbidden. Bellmare High is not for the faint of heart. It's a battleground where love clashes with survival, and loyalty is a weapon. *"Battle Grounds of the Heart"* is a high-octane rollercoaster of emotions-a story where humor, heartbreak, and action collide, leaving you breathless and craving more with every chapter.

I leaned forward and kissed him but he pushed me backward, sending me flying to the ground. Josiah rushed forward but I held an arm out, stopping him in his tracks. I could feel my bones solidifying, my flesh turning to metal and with a sharp blow, I slammed Tony into the fence behind us. "Let's go" Josiah said drawing circles on my shoulder and I followed him, my heart broken.

In a dark alley, obscured from the prying eyes of people, the muffled grunts of a shadowy figure beaten to a pulp were barely visible. Four hooded figures were standing around the bloody figure on the ground as he looked up in hate. Kraign struggled to his feet, his face mangled beyond recognition. "All of you idiots shall pay. THE WORLD WILL BURN!! "Boss, I think he's gone mad, we should leave", one of the hooded figures said on a low voice. "Was thinking the same thing", the shortest hooded figure replied, retreating with his crew, leaving the boy in the ground, barely breathing. As death drew near, things all went wrong.

Shontose, you are not powerless. Wielder of words. Master of pages. If the world has taken a dark turn, and the road ahead has grown dim, you know what to do. Write. She opened her painfully bloodshot eyes. Her body too broken to obey her command, sprawled on the stone ground, and half drowned in a pool of her own blood, felt hollow and lifeless. No, in fact this body couldn't be hers. It was and empty shell, and she was not dead. This one thing at last she was assured.

We’ve all had those moments—the kind that stops us in our tracks, steals our breath, and makes us see life differently. It could be a fleeting conversation, a mistake that stings, a kindness we never expected or even the realization that everything we believed… Everything we've ever known wasn’t quite right. Some lessons come like whispers, soft but impossible to ignore. Others hit like a tidal wave, knocking the wind out of us, and some come in the form of fictional short stories that resonate with us, But no matter how they arrive, they change something inside us forever. The Moment It Hit Me is a collection of those turning points—snapshots of clarity, reality, heartbreak, hope, and growth—all wrapped up in a thousand words. Each chapter comes with a different short story, some fictional, some from my own experiences and anecdotes from others' experiences. Some will make you laugh, others might sting, some will teach you new things about self-care, mental height, and emotional balance and a few will stay with you long after you turn the page. Because sometimes, all it takes is one moment to change everything. Let me share with you The Moment It Hit me, because, It Just Might Hit You too. I'm writing this because I believe that, sometimes readers need a break from traditional fiction to connect with something more grounded in real-life experiences. So be sure to share your life-changing experiences in the comment session, so we can all learn from this.

An ordinary cultivator - that was the best way to describe Zhao Yunxiao. Be it in terms of strength or talent, he had always been in the middle of the pack, neither excelling nor falling behind. However, he did not really think badly of his current situation. Some people were destined to become the stars in the skies, while some people were born to be like the rocks on the ground. The stars might be dazzling, but the rocks supported the earth itself. Both of them were necessary in order to maintain the balance of this world. As someone ordinary, Zhao Yunxiao did his best to live his ordinary life to the fullest. He was careful and meticulous, doing his best to make sure he understands everything fully instead of jumping into doing things. He knew his limits and did not dream of anything out of reach. Instead, all he wished for was to live a life of freedom. But one day, he realised that something seemed to be amiss. Perhaps he was mistaken all along. Perhaps even the rocks on the ground had their chance to shine under the right circumstances, even if only for the slightest of moments. This is the tale of an ordinary cultivator... until he was no longer ordinary. *** This story will be written for leisure and thus not be locked, but if you are feeling generous and wish to show your appreciation in monetary terms... https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/SweatingCloud

Born and raised in the Tail-Zone slums of Peacock District, Euri had one goal in life—a safe and stable corporate job. But the day he discovered the alien game infesting his miniscreen, that goal had to go through some modifications. While the entire human civilization on Planet Nen went to war against the superior lifeforms plaguing the extraterrestrial planes, Euri competed with them all for power by just playing this game!

Jaxon doesn’t just see the world differently—he knows it’s a lie. A carefully crafted illusion. He’s spent years peeling back its layers, but when his visions start bleeding into reality, when memories shift like rewritten code, one question haunts him: Is he still in control of his mind? Or has something—someone—altered the script? Selene trusted logic. Skepticism kept her grounded. But meeting Jaxon shatters everything. Following him means stepping into the unknown, facing truths she was never meant to see. Some doors, once opened, can never be closed. And some truths can rewrite existence itself.

In one swift motion, he caught her by the neck, his grip unyielding. Lara snarled and thrashed, but Killian’s strength was overwhelming. “You foolish, useless wolf,” Killian growled, his voice dripping with disdain. “You think you can defy me and live?” With a cruel smile, he threw Lara against a nearby tree, the impact shaking the ground beneath us. Pain tore through me as I felt every blow she endured. Lara tried to stand, but Killian’s foot pressed down on her, pinning her to the ground. “You’ll learn your place,” he hissed. “Both of you.” My body began to shift again, the pain unbearable as Lara was forced back, and I returned to my human form. Lying on the ground, broken and bleeding, I looked up at him with all the hatred I could muster. “I hate you,” I whispered, my voice barely audible. Killian’s expression didn’t change. And then, darkness consumed me.

No one expected a simple strategy game to become a real-world phenomenon, where the Earth merged with the game’s mechanics. Every human was forcibly assigned a territory, transformed into a Lord, and thrust into a brutal struggle for survival and dominance. Monsters roamed freely, ancient dungeons emerged from the ground, and the strong ruled while the weak were devoured.

Amon was transmigrated to another world as his in-game character. He is now a Dragon Lord who possesses rare Professions like Summoner and Healer. Shortly after that he became the Prince Consort in the corrupted dragonic kingdom. ******* A man stood in a plantation. He swung his sword to harvest. But what he harvested was not wheat or rice—it was human souls. Hundreds of heads separated from their bodies, blood flooded the ground, and screams of despair echoed into the sky. With lightning speed, no one could escape, and no one could touch him. The man was as powerful as a mighty dragon.
