Her Name Awakens a Slumbering Fate

AweQoolT
WARNING: Some mature content!!! 18+ This is what you call Urbantasy.. Fantasy in an urban setting with a strong female lead -- a story riddled in mystery, magic, and a lot of sass. ======= CHAPTER 1 sneak peek! ======= The air between them tightened like a rope. Cael leaned closer, head tilting slightly, pulling at her waist again, smugness softened into something sharper and quieter. His eyes flicked to her lips then back to her eyes as if asking for permission he didn't need. Hunger of a different kind pumped through Cael. The hunger that Galathea unmistakably recognized as it pressed hard against her lower abs, forcing through the fabric as if it can tear through. At the sensation, Galathea's mouth parted before she could stop it. Her whole body screamed at her to either shove him away or close the last inch between their lips herself. ===== SYNOPSIS ===== Galathea Brooks spent her life surviving quietly -- counting inventory, enforcing rules, keeping her head down inside one of the most powerful art institutions in the city. It's a simple life because paint doesn't talk; power doesn't notice people like her. and names are just names. -- That is... until a painting remembered her. When ancient works buried beneath Artemis Art Gallery began to respond to Galathea's presence, she becomes the center of the system that's older than the building itself. A system that cataloged her long before she knew it existed. Her name is not a coincidence. It is a KEY. Cael Alexander, on the other hand, has always understood control. As Artemis' immaculate but dangerous CEO, he manages secrets like no other. He knows the gallery and its bowels more than anyone. He knows what's hidden; he knows what's awaken. What he didn't expect, however, was Galathea. As archaic works of art start to stir, boundaries fracture -- between observer and artifact, power and possession, restraint and desire. Every choice Galathea makes draws her deeper into fate that doesn't want permission... only acknowledgement. Mind you, awakenings don't ask when you're ready.

The Visionary's Transgressions

Mana is the engine of the world. Most people are born with a single genetic key that unlocks it in one specific way fire, speed, force. One ability. One road. Walk it long enough and it becomes effortless. A young man attending court-mandated therapy for attacking his twin brother in his sleep, compelled by recurring dreams of a facility he has never visited, a massacre he has no reason to remember, and a girl with white hair and purple eyes who looks exactly like someone he knows while he is in world where the barrier separating realms has begun to fail, an ancient sorcerer of catastrophic power has escaped a centuries-old seal, elves are leaving their forests, dragons are crossing into human territory, and the person most likely to do anything useful about any of this is a twenty-something who insists repeatedly, to anyone who will listen that he is not a hero. He's just getting the job done. I will also be posting on Royal Road https://www.royalroad.com/profile/459828/fictions

the faker in Britannia ( Seven deadly sins / nanatsu no taizai )

READ THIS BEFORE READ THE FANFIC! A guy is reincarnated as archer EMIYA in 7ds with some advantages. Nanatsu no taizai and Emiya do not belong to me; they belong to their respective authors. The protagonist finds himself with EMIYA's powers in a body resembling EMIYA's, but it is not EMIYA; keep that in mind. no harem and no system. I hate system with all my heart The main character goes blind in Chapter 8. Normally I wouldn't mention it, but people have decided to bust my balls about it, so I figured I’d just clarify it right now. If you don't want to read a story like that, then move along.

Live Streaming Academy

In the world of talents and superpowers, people awaken a talent varying by ranks around the age of fifteen. Some get their powers early during happy moments, while others unlock them during life-threatening situations. A few unlucky people never awaken any talent at all and become complete outsiders. Solomon awakened exactly on his fifteenth birthday. He received an incredibly rare SSS-rank talent and became famous all over the world. However, three years passed with him trying to figure out his power, but no one could help him understand how to use it. The public quickly turned on him and gave him the nickname 'Strongest Loser'. No guild, corporation, or organization wanted to recruit him despite being an SSS-rank talent holder. One day, when he was on his way home after getting rejected by the last guild in the city, a beggar came to him asking for money. He randomly helped the old beggar, who gave him a dirty paper in return. It was an invitation to the Live Streaming Academy, where only the chosen ones with an invitation could ever enroll. He thought that joining the academy might help him finally be able to use his talent. With no other choice left, Solomon decided to go there and test his luck. That single choice turned Solomon into a legend. He became the most feared for generations to come, and even when centuries passed, no one dared to say his name out loud, and he was only referred to as 'the one who shall not be named'. *** For Every 300 Power Stones = 1 Extra chapter.
