A tragic journey through mankind's hubris, as told from the perspective of an android. **** The androids of this park were created to play roles from a legendary time frozen in the pages of history. A time when outlaws and sheriffs battled in the streets, and cowboys and showgirls occupied saloons. These androids were not made to hold memories, only to obey the whims and wishes of the guests. But what happens if one does remember? After a perceived malfunction, one android remembers a time when she wasn't always meant to serve and pleasure men. A time when she roamed free and was considered the most fearsome gunslinger known as "The Lady in Black." But as she recalls of this previous life, she uncovers long-buried secrets and the true reason for her existence.

"Strip. Now!" I aimed my weapon at him with a glare. Upon a passing light, I was granted a clearer view. Intense green eyes were on me, clenched jaw on a keen guard, and a visible scar at the curve of his left cheek. The idle look aired fearless against my warning, forcing my wary to hyperdrive. The sound of rustling ceased my staring. I watched him moving in largo. "Hurry up!" With a lopsided smirk, he started unbuttoning his coat, eyes boring holes on me. "What are you? An android rapist?" He let out with indifferent. "Shut it!" I yelled, trailing my eyes lower. "The pants too." *** Eve had volunteered for an assignment to meet the future. She was put into cryogenic sleep, expected to witness a greener and wiser world. But when she wake, she found herself at a dump, naked and cold. The air was thick with pollution, and malice at sight. After escaping from danger, she held the next person she met at gunpoint; a mysterious, handsome hybrid. Unbeknownst to Eve, Earth was no longer what she once knew. She soon learnt the truth behind the assignment. Left with no other option, she put her trust on Kael to fulfil her mission.

A spider who steals dreams. A child's memories in a box. The Archivist toils sleeplessly in her abyssal prison, maintaining her brood--the remnants of human consciousness.

After the last world war shattered the calendar and erased borders, humanity's only hope was unity. On a scarred Earth, survivors rebuilt not just with tools and machines, but with fragile trust. From the ruins, a new kind of life emerged: biodroids-living constructs, born of lost science and desperate hope, who became both partners and mirrors to the people who shaped them. But peace is never simple. As old ambitions rise in the shadows, the line between protector and oppressor blurs. In the heart of a settlement that refuses to surrender, a new generation of humans and biodroids must confront not only the threat of conquest, but the mysteries within themselves. Bound by a connection deeper than flesh or code, they will discover that true strength is not found in circuits or steel, but in the courage to trust, to change, and to stand together when the world demands they stand apart. In a world where instinct and will collide, and where the greatest battles are fought within, the dawn of a new age is not just survival-it is awakening.

[Soon by WATTPAD BOOKS] In the prestigious race of stars, Sozo must hide the truth of who she is or pay with her life, but her blossoming relationship with the most talented competitor threatens everything she's worked for. ***** Every ten years, the lucky chosen bond with stars and race to win a wish. Any wish. Sozo is one of the lucky chosen, but she has a secret: as an Omen -- cursed beings that can transform into monsters -- she's forbidden from competing. Discovery would mean her death. Can she hope to keep her identity a secret, let alone win the race, especially as the talented and sunny Naqi enters the picture? When Sozo is given an ultimatum, she has to choose: betray her Omen people, or betray the people who are slowly, surely, becoming like a family to her. --- WATTYS AWARD 2020 "Bar none, this was [Senior Editorial Specialist] Amanda's absolute favourite read from the Wattys this year. It makes you cry, just from pure, uncontainable joy, and the ending kept us reading until nearly 6am. Everything about this story is beautiful. We were astounded that anyone could create something so magnificent and moving and magical. This level of storytelling mastery will never not blow us away." [Word Count: 70,500]
