Metropolis Novels & Stories

James laughed. Inside the Perisphere, the tour of the futuristic idealistic city of the next millennia, Democracity, was viewed from revolving balconies that formed sizeable rings suspended above the idealized city. From there, mingled with the rest of the excited fairgoers, they watched a six minute video with Democracity portrayed as the utopian vision. Designed of residential neighborhoods called Pleasantvilles and interspersed with industrial Millvilles in a mixed-use type zoning separated by beautiful fields reserved for agriculture and recreation, it was sterile and clean and promised egalitarian happiness. At the business and industrial hub of Democracity, was The Center, linked by gr

“Alright. But do not wander around without us, okay?” Maleficent was not able to answer Gukasho when she dashed towards the busy main street of the city. Unlike the city wherein she grew up, no skyscrapers could be seen. Instead, three stories buildings made of black-colored bricks littered the Rancid City. With the sky in constant darkness with no indication of day and night and with no worries of a sudden rain due to the absence of nature along with the four seasons, the mist that came from the chimneys of the taverns enveloped the capital city of the Nether World.

Alec was glad to know that there are still some lands left unspoiled by the industrialisation that has taken over the planet over the decades. They still didnt know where she is going. And they still don't know how they can get in contact with Sybil, that is confined within a tightly knit internal communication system, without their WDF mobile comms. It was evening when they all turned up infront of a gated old mansion with high walls surrounding what seemed to be hectares of farmland they could visibly make out in the light of the moon. They have arrived in a place called 'Baguio' in the Philippines - a bustling modern city built atop the Sierra Madre mountains. The air in this city is wint

We were in Shorecrest. Giant green 50s light posts came into view and kept cascading down a long drive was that led us to giant black gates of one of the most exclusive properties in all of Metro Heights – Wu Manor. A giant mansion, among three, that sat on top of the highest points in Shorecrest, where lavish parties for diplomats, royals and only 2 percent of the socialite group of Metro Heights was invited and only 0.05 percent of colleagues, partners and “others” were lucky to be invited and tonight I was one of them. Here only the rich of the rich rub elbows, and those who wanted to talk to the rich could potentially look at those elbows. This was my time. This city is cut throat and m

I raised my brows and cleared my throat to heed what he will say. "Yeah, outside this city is dying, our family is infected with melancholy and mayhem and inside the borders barely will experience the misery outside the separators" He replied with his eyes laying at the window. The crowd outside the diner is gaining more citizens on the pavement - siege the window like ivies on the fences. Sounds of Winter City raise its volume of vehicles and city crowds. This place is a definition of a metropolis. We casually talk in our spot as the city gain more chimes while waiting for our order to be settled on the table.

Madeline's POV The car glided smoothly through the streets of Belmonte as the city transformed around us. The lights of the skyscrapers formed an urban constellation, blinking in a rhythm of their own, as if the metropolis had a beating heart. Night traffic was calmer than during the day, but there was still enough movement to create the city's familiar symphony with distant horns, engines humming, and the constant background noise of a city that never truly sleeps.

Nova’s POV Credit to my brothers they were working hard to distract me from the pity party I was trying to throw myself. It wasn’t working, but they were trying and that meant the world to me. When we pulled up at the palace and I saw my new home I was overwhelmed at first as my new reality hit me. I was in the Royal city. I had always wanted to come here. You learn about it in school but unless you already live here or you have a lot of money to shop or business to carry out here, there will never be any reason for an average werewolf to go to the city.

The roof began to shred, and the room shook, moving the foundation and making everyone hold on. Doc, ever vigilant, stayed with Phoenix and when he said, “Last one Luna, give it all you’ve got!” she grunted and the world paused when this tiny titan came into the world announcing her arrival with lungs that rivaled any Alpha wolf’s howl. The weather miraculously stopped, the sun came out and all was calm as if nothing ever happened. Both Gael and Phoenix heard the Goddess in their mind saying to them, ‘Congratulations Gael and Phoenix, It is my pleasure to introduce you to…..Serene. She will always be the calm in your storm.’

Metro City was a sprawling, hyper-technological beast, a place where the sky was perpetually choked with the neon glow of holographic advertisements and the hum of thousands of mag-lev transports. It was a city of infinite layers, from the glittering, cloud-piercing spires of the financial district to the rain-slicked, subterranean levels of the undercity. And it was here, in the very heart of this digital labyrinth, that Peony had established her true base of operations.

Poppy and I simultaneously leaned forward to put our coffee mugs down on the thick wooden coffee table in front of us. Both Alpha Brock and Beta Pete looked as if they could do with more than just a coffee themselves. Their barely aging faces looked stony and cold, beyond annoyed, frustrated to fuck and just plain old fed up.
