The Seven Geniuses
by William Filiti
Wil’s biggest concern should have been surviving high school - not a war. Then armed men storm his school, people start dying, and Wil discovers that he and six other students are at the centre of a prophecy. And that’s only the beginning. The seven possess abilities they barely understand, and suddenly everyone seems to want something from them. Hunted by powerful enemies and aided by allies they aren’t sure they can trust, they’re dragged into a hidden war of magic, secrets, and blood. At first, they only want to survive. But every battle changes them. Friends become soldiers. Innocence becomes vengeance. And as the truth behind their powers begins to surface, Wil starts to fear that the prophecy was never meant to save the world. It was meant to break it. Somewhere behind the bloodshed, someone is pulling the strings - watching, waiting, and shaping the seven into exactly what they need them to become. Because the prophecy never promised they would all survive. Seven geniuses. One prophecy. But two are destined to fall.

EARTH'S LAST DAWN
by Daniel C.Chambers
Humanity has always looked toward the stars, wondering if someone or something was watching. Before sunrise, mysterious black ships suddenly appear above Earth. Governments collapse into panic, communication systems fail, and millions of people realize that humanity is facing something it has never encountered before. Daniel's ordinary life changes forever when he discovers that the invasion may be connected to his missing father, who vanished twenty-three years earlier while investigating a mysterious signal from deep space. But Daniel is not the only person carrying secrets. Maya, a mysterious young woman who seems to know far more about the invasion than she should, warns Daniel that the aliens are searching for specific people. She also gives him a warning that could destroy his trust in his closest friend; "Don't trust Samuel". As Daniel, Maya, Samuel, and a group of survivors struggle to escape the collapsing city, they uncover evidence that the aliens have known about humanity for thousands of years. Then Daniel discovers something impossible. The aliens aren't simply invading Earth. They are looking for him. Hidden beneath the planet is an ancient secret connected to humanity's forgotten past, a secret involving a mysterious civilization known as the Architects and a powerful structure called the Dawn Gate. The deeper Daniel searches for answers, the more disturbing the truth becomes. Humanity may not have originated on Earth. Its memories may have been deliberately erased. And the aliens may not be the true enemies.

Milk and Murder
by Kiyoka Oda
On the morning of the school cultural festival, a student is found dead in the haunted house attraction. The mechanism failed. The investigation finds no clear answers. One by one, pieces of Kensuke's hidden life begin to surface from beneath the cheerful, ordinary version everyone thought they knew. And with every new detail, the homeroom teacher feels the same disturbing thought return. None of them had truly known Ushijima Kensuke at all… Set against the backdrop of contemporary Japan, from the snow-buried villages of Hokkaido to the borrowed apartments of Kobe, Milk and Murder asks whether the distance between protection and harm is always as clear as we need it to be. The plot twist in Milk and Murder was rejected by 11 publishers. Kiyoka had had enough of this shit and self-published it. Most readers found it depressing, yet they couldn't stop reading. One person asked her what the fuck she was smoking when she wrote it. Check out the reviews on Amazon.

Detective Go
by Hinda 💙
In the cold, rain-slicked sprawl of New-Urban, blood does not spill by chance—it flows by design. The entire metropolis, with its razor-sharp grid of intersecting streets, is built like a massive 19 \times 19 Go board. When a prominent real estate tycoon is found dead in the central square—his body encased in a waterproof white circle and a polished black Go stone pinned to his chest by a silver dagger—Detective Youssef realizes he isn't hunting a ordinary serial killer. He is facing a grandmaster playing as "Black," executing a high-stakes, lethal game across the city’s blueprint: * The streets are the grid lines. * The districts are the territories. * And human lives are the stones. With every new body dropped at a strategic intersection, Youssef is forced into playing "White," locked in a desperate defensive race against time. One wrong move means suffocating a victim's "liberties"—their very breath—and surrendering an entire neighborhood to darkness. The bloody trial leads Youssef straight to the "Nine Dragons," an ancient Go club run by a blind master, unearthing a dark secret from an infamous 1835 match known as the "Blood-Spilling Game." A deeply buried vendetta has awakened from the shadows, seeking to rewrite history in blood. Who is manipulating the black stones from behind the scenes? And can Youssef decipher the pattern before the killer closes the trap and claims total control of the board?

A Cage Called Destiny
by vielwords
Anaya never believed in marriage. To escape every proposal, she created a simple game—three impossible wishes, one café, and a list of conditions no man had ever accepted. Until Reyansh. Instead of walking away, he challenged every rule she had built around herself, forcing her into a marriage neither of them could have imagined. What begins as a clash of two stubborn strangers slowly turns into something far more complicated, where trust is fragile, emotions are dangerous, and every answer only seems to raise more questions. But not every story begins where it appears to. Some truths are buried beneath silence. Some promises were made long before they ever met. And sometimes, the greatest betrayal isn't the one you see coming—it's the one that has been waiting from the very beginning.
