With the newest tribute, however, sails Theseus, prince of Athens, who has been promised the hand of the beautiful Princess Ariadne, and he doesn’t intend to die quietly. With the help... more>> of Ariadne, he prepares to face the Minotaur, but no one can predict the rift the Minotaur’s death will leave behind or the world on the other side.

The legend of Graiana, also known as the Cold Death, is a tale to scare children who don't go to sleep when they're told. A figure of misfortune, solitude, and eternal winter. Her name is also a sign of a bad omen and is used when you want to curse someone, so she's seldom mentioned by her birth name.... more>>

Everyone is aware that the legend of the enraged woman was more than just a legend—it was pure reality. It happened millennia ago when humans were still living tied to Mother Nature.

Graiana was once a gifted girl who could repel sickness and help maintain the freshness of meats and vegetables. But soon, her powers came out of control, after people saw more danger in her than anything positive.

Starting from an accidental murder to being hated, banished, and exiled from everywhere, to cursing the entire world with her return.

And she returned.

Vivian Montcroix was born with Graiana's significant snow-white hair, and even though a Seeress advised her family to love Vivian, they instead turned their backs on her. After many unfortunate events, Vivian became the second Graiana and massacred many.

At the moment she was about to be executed, she wished to return back in time to change her fate. But there are two sides to her: one that seeks revenge, and the other that seeks peace.

As she's reborn on the night of a snowstorm, she must choose what to do, as her first moments as a baby could change everything.

Follow her story as she grows up, and when she eventually starts attending as a student at the Tower of Magi—the place where she was changed forever. <<less

"In the immense stretches of outer space, many eons ago, a phenomenal event occurred that surpassed even the most colossal of supernovas. This event wasn't just any ordinary supernova; it was an incredibly massive and impactful event that would leave a near ingrained mark on the history of our world. They referred to this phenomenon as a "super fluctus." It originated from a star of unimaginable size, a staggering 1,536,749,426 times larger than our own sun and located an unbelievable coincidencial distance of 1,536,749,426 light years away.... more>>

This colossal celestial body underwent a transformative process due to immense forces of gravity no longer able to sustain nuclear fission. It gave rise to elements previously unknown to us. As the star collapsed upon itself, its subatomic particles—protons, neutrons, and electrons—were forced together, forming a singularity and birthing a neutron star, a cosmic giant of incredible density and power.

The effects of this cosmic event rippled throughout the universe, carrying with them these newly created elements. Among them was an asteroid formed from one of these elements, which, through a series of fortuitous events, grew and merged into a planet roughly the size of Mars. This planet, known as Theia, would soon collide with Earth, forever changing its fate.

With a thunderous crash, Theia collided with Earth in a cataclysmic event that shattered the planet, reducing it to cosmic debris. The remnants of this collision, drawn in by Earth's gravitational pull, formed the rings that encircle our planet. From this cosmic debris emerged our loyal companion, the moon, born from the remnants of Theia's collision and destined to orbit our planet eternally.

Yet, within Theia lay a treasure trove of elements that bestowed upon Earth the gift of life. But just as they gifted Earth life, Earth gifted it the perfect world. For the planet would be bombardment by meteors delivered water, vital for the emergence of life. For the planet would be positioned at just the right distance from its star, Earth enjoyed ideal conditions for life to thrive, a delicate balance of warmth and distance that allowed sentient beings to evolve." <<less

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.... more>>

However, for Alvis, failure means death. And death means respawning and trying again. Yet, every time he fails, he gains a bit more power, but more importantly, more knowledge. And he will die as many times as it takes to unveil his system’s mysteries and complete its levels. The fate of the world depends on it. Even though Alvis couldn’t care less about the world that has abandoned him and labeled him as the son of the Devil, there are still a few people he cares for. For them, Alvis will face death until he can carry the heavy destiny that has been placed on him. He might be a mere human, yet Alvis will overcome everything with his brain. After all, a time loop is just an eternal cycle of self-mastery.

What to expect:

- not perfect prose, I’m not a native speaker so go easy on me

- smart mc but can make mistakes from time to time

- lots of character development, it’s a character-oriented story so don’t expect the mc to be perfect in every area of life

- some romance, it’s a story about a teenage boy, so yes

- multiracial society with well-crafted world-building set in a futuristic world with magic

- slice of life passages, mostly in the beginning of new loops as a build-up

When Maria stole a peculiar book from one of her classmates, she thought nothing of it since her classmate didn't seem too fond of reading; Maria thought she could get away with it, however, she never expected the book to hold such secrets.

Working as a barista in the city of Quezon, Maria discovers that not only was the book she had once read predicting the end of the world, but her old pocket watch was the key to figuring out its secrets.

Before she knew it, chaos started to unfold, claiming the lives of thousands as deadly games began to appear all over the world, forcing humans to become players to survive.

Maria never imagined that an old book series could lead to such catastrophes. Can a book with hundreds of pages stacked together— really be the sole reason for the end of humanity?

Left with no other choice, Maria uses her knowledge from the books to navigate through the looming perils before her. With the desire to meet the beings that heralded the world's end and uncover the mysteries shrouding her books, Maria strove to survive and adapt to her new reality, even if it meant being tangled between life and death.

In a world brimming with tales, akin to the multitude of stars gleaming in the nocturnal skies or the depths of the vast ocean yet to be explored, the story of searching for one's ending begins...

|7X WATTPAD FEATURED| Daniel Matton wasn't ready for an adventure, not until 3023 sent him into space on a journey to prehistoric times. The prehistoric animals test his patience, but Dan must endure all the pain and suffering to return home safely.... more>>

***

Seventeen-year-old Daniel Matton, still grieving after his mother's death five years ago, is given the adventure of a lifetime when he's selected as the Star of 3023's PPMC Project for a journey through a black hole, wormhole, and white hole to prehistoric times. Now, does Dan want to be the Star? Heck no, but he has loved paleontology ever since a bittersweet memory with his mom twelve years earlier.

Programmed to resemble Dan's mother's personality, PPMC vows to keep him safe on his journey, but it's difficult when the stubborn teen constantly gets in trouble, not just with himself but also prehistoric anomalies: volcanic eruptions, eight-foot-long millipedes, terrifying saber-toothed cats, and above all... disaster.

Now nearly trapped in time, Dan and PPMC must work together to escape the geologic time scale before Dan's love for paleontology and the mighty Quetzalcoatlus prevent him from learning how to truly trust PPMC and "let go" of the burden that's weighed him down for five years.

A teen, a starship, and Becca...

After a tragic accident that sent her back 845 years in time to the year 1177, in the Middle Ages, during the reign of Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, Kate Mitchell, a wealthy business tycoon in the pharmaceutical industry, a gifted ex-military, a pharmacologist and botanist, and a brilliant archer from 2022, wakes up as Lady Philippa, a pretty, innocent, frail, and proper young lady of House Antioch, with whom she shares nothing in common. She realised she had died on that day, and her soul travels back in time and takes over the body of Philippa, a helpless lady who would face tragedy, betrayal, and scandal before dying young and heartbroken.... more>>

She chose to continue living as Philippa because she had a second chance at life, with one goal in mind: to live, survive, and fall in love.
