The greatest tragedy the world has ever known turned out to be the ultimate catalyst for change. In the wake of World War III, which decimated most of the world's population, the remaining survivors vowed to not continue to repeat the same mistakes of the past. Fortunately, they had something previous generations did not have - advanced technology. The year is 2117 and this once shattered civilization has become prosperous again. Innovative forms of technology have enabled them to abandon the old model and re-engineer a better way of living for all. Brain implants and genetic modifications have made an entire population educated, healthy, and kind. Despite the benefits of this technology, it has created some unforeseen side effects that threaten humankind's existence. When technology proves to be inept at solving the world's problem, a new hope emerges in the unlikeliest form - a young orphan girl. *** Cyberpunk, dystopian, technology, future, futurism, scifi, heroine, prodigy...

Misunderstood and overmedicated, twelve-year-old Lilith Bloom finds the prospect of a grand family reunion decidedly dull... That is, until she discovers that the rose garden surrounding her grandfather's Berlin mansion is, well, completely and utterly carnivorous.

Welcome to 'What Not To Do In Percy Jackson Fanfiction' where I will brave the odds and ends to show my fellow PJO writers exactly what annoys readers and writers of Wattpad the most. This is not to be meant as offensive to the people whose stories may be similar to what I have written, but if you HAVE written a story a lot like the ones mentioned inside where the protagonists are total VS model Mary-Sue's... I humbly beg of you, change it immediately! Because the PJO characters are often frustrated with finding out they have a secret half-sister with magical blue hair and Gucci sunglasses. Percy: *facedesks* Annabeth: *groans* Leo: *sets Mary-Sue's hair on fire* O.O Leo: ..... What? SHE ATTACKED ME WITH HER TERRIBLE MARY-SUE-ISH NATURE! AND PLANNED TO MARRY ME OFF TO HER BFF, JUST NO... ** Warning: Mass hilarity ahead. Read at your own risk! Abandoned (I was 12, Jesus Christ...)
