Biopunk Stories

Prepare for a Martian story of Hard Science and Painful Majic so explosive you'll have to change yourself just to be ready for it. Don't worry, it'll take us four years to get there from Earth, and in the process every cell in your body, now Homo Sapien, will gradually be replaced by Homo Martianus. I wish this deeply queer process alone could prepare you for the harsh nature of the surface. It won't. But, because of it, there is a chance that you'll survive. The systems that govern the planets however; they crumble around our would-be heroes. Human ambition rains from the skies as the foundations of the old world collapse. Write a song of destiny, find your players, and together form a ritual to transmute the reality of the planet Marsha itself into a rousing conspiracy thriller in which every chapter evolves alongside you, and every act is the sometimes uncontrolled demolition of the corrupt old world. When the Coda ends, what will be left of them? A new life on Marsha awaits. It will not be comfortable, but it will be alien. Vivit Terra Nova! Vivit 'l Tera-Rust!

Ethan Rost was a hero-a firefighter, a husband, a father. The man who ran into the flames so others could live. But when cancer came for him, he took the miracle cure the world called Genesis, the patch for all human rot, the salvation sold in glossy ads and whispered boardrooms. It cured the tumors. It rewrote his cells. It promised forever. It never said who would live forever inside the rotting cage. Now Ethan is a Remnant-mind trapped behind bone and teeth, forced to watch as the monster in his skin tears through the world he died trying to protect. He can taste every scream. Hear every heartbeat before his hands rip it away. And in the static between kills, he finds others, a chorus of broken minds still awake inside their walking corpses. And far below the ruins, Connor Hale, the last scientist who warned them all, hides behind flickering screens and dying servers, fighting to crack the Genesis code before it devours the last hope for what makes us human. He knows the cure was a lie. He knows the monster is awake. And he knows some things should never be brought back from the grave. This is not your regular zombie apocalypse. No safe farmhouses. No cartoon headshots. No heroes with endless ammo and witty one-liners. This is the apocalypse from the inside out, the last fragments of memory and mercy fighting inside the gnashing teeth. THE PASSENGER is about what happens after the infection, after the flesh is gone, when the only thing left worth saving is your soul. They don't die. They don't sleep. And memory...is the only thing they can't kill.

La Tierra ya no es un hogar, es una cáscara de metal oxidado que vaga por el vacío, un planeta-nave movido por motores continentales y la desesperación de miles de millones. Somos los parásitos del universo, los piratas que apagan soles para encender los nuestros. Cuando la flota humana llega a un nuevo mundo de océanos esmeralda, creen que será otra cosecha fácil. Pero se topan con El Eje, una civilización de depredadores biológicos que no conocen el miedo y cuya tecnología orgánica hace que nuestras armas de fuego parezcan juguetes de madera. Para evitar la aniquilación, los altos mandos recurren a los hermanos Graves: Silas ("S"): El cerebro. Un sociópata táctico que ve la galaxia como un tablero de números y probabilidades. Kael: El músculo. Un comandante de campo curtido en mil carnicerías, líder de un escuadrón de locos e inadaptados. En un movimiento desesperado, Silas clava el Arpón Continental en el núcleo del enemigo, encadenando ambos planetas en un abrazo mortal. Ahora, nadie puede huir. La guerra ya no se libra con flotas espaciales, sino en una base de cristal negro donde cada palabra es un engaño y cada tregua es una trampa. Dos mentes brillantes. Dos especies al borde del abismo. Una partida de ajedrez donde el primer error será el último.

It's 1915, the Great War is about to end, when word gets out about another German plan. Aleksandar Hohenberg and Deryn Sharp, both fresh from their latest mission for the Society, are tasked with destroying the Paris Gun, a machine capable of destroying a whole city. Reminder: You won't understand a thing in this story unless you read Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan series.

Not every apocalypse falls from the sky. Some are engineered - stitched into living flesh and sold to the highest bidder. A secret squad works in the shadows, erasing horrors the world isn't allowed to know exist. But when a classified experiment mutates beyond control, minds fracture... and monsters wear smiles in daylight. Levi leads the Axolotl Squad-elite superhuman operatives fighting anomalies, betrayal, and their own mutations. The future isn't dying... it's hungry. And staying human may be the last thing they can afford. One mission remains: contain the entity. Or the world dies screaming. #1 Entity / #2 Biopunk / #5 Secret Organization [27/11/2025]

Title: Genomic Faultline Genre: Boys' Love, Biopunk, Dystopian, Sci-Fi, Psychological, School Life, Drama "Genomic Faultline" takes place in a future where your DNA defines your destiny, and the academy meant to uphold perfection is beginning to crack. JL is the mutation that shouldn't exist. Hidden by systems, feared by elites, and yet capable of unraveling the cold machinery of control through the most dangerous force of all: human emotion. Each relationship JL forms becomes a fracture in the perfect structure. And in TMAN Academy, even a heartbeat can be a rebellion. Genetic Tiers: Tier I - The Pure - Genetically perfected individuals. They possess refined physical, intellectual, and emotional control. Only Tier I individuals may hold political, research, or leadership positions in society. Tier II - The Fit - Genetically stable and enhanced, but not perfect. Allowed to serve society in subordinate or specialized roles. Required to undergo emotional conditioning to maintain control. Tier III - The Faulted / Mutates (Illegal Tier) - Individuals born with unstable, altered, or unregistered genes. Considered dangerous. Officially, they are said to be extinct-any trace of their existence is hidden or destroyed.

Though she does not realize it, Myrae Clemans is very special. She's special because she is one of the first designer babies to ever be born. Her parents, who are scientists, specially edited her genes to create what they would deem their "ideal" child. And, they were successful. Well, almost. Myrae does not know what edits her parents made to her genes. She knows it makes her special, but she doesn't know just how special, or how unfortunate. But more importantly, Myrae has no idea just how big of a conspiracy her parents are wrapped up in. ✧𝒰𝓃𝑒𝒹𝒾𝓉𝑒𝒹✧ Edited by @writesthetic Cover by @jaszthewayyoulikeit ⚛︎ 1st Place Punk Fiction Category in the Wattpad Scifi Holiday 2020 Contest ⚛︎ Best Blurb in The Floret Awards ⚛︎ Arena of Wind Winner in The Arena Awards 2022

The Bloom consumes everything it touches-technology, biology, memory. Senna Caelix wasn't supposed to remember her past. As a Seed operative for the Ascendancy, she was engineered, conditioned, and dropped onto the alien planet Aris-IV with one purpose: survive the Bloom long enough to understand it. But as this mysterious ecosystem integrates with her body and mind, forbidden memories surface-along with abilities no one predicted. From orbit, her handler Riven Hallex watches with growing concern. His asset is changing, evolving. When he breaks protocol to warn her, then abandons his post to find her, he marks them both as targets. They aren't the only ones with stakes in the Bloom. Echo operative Tyce Rael infiltrates the orbital station on a mission that will set him on a collision course with Senna and Riven. Three perspectives. Three paths. One terrifying evolution. In the battle between control and corruption, integration may be the only way to survive.

Elysia Kaelix thought she knew the world: quiet libraries, familiar books, and a life she could control. Until a fire and a near-fatal exposure left her unconscious in a hospital bed, her body forever altered by experimental technology. Her lungs are no longer entirely her own, her senses feel sharper-and yet something feels... wrong. As she struggles to understand what has been done to her, she begins to realise that life after death may hold a very different kind of existence. Dark, surreal, and unsettling, this is a story of identity, mortality, and the uneasy boundary between human and machine. How much can be replaced before a human is no longer human, but something... other?

His best friend is Coda-9994, the genius and potty-mouthed hybrid sperm whale destined to be sent off to the ocean planet Ouroboros. With humans having rendered Earth's ocean uninhabitable, the ICA insists it's the only way to find a new homeworld to serve mankind's needs. But Coda doesn't want to go. He grows angrier at Jim with each passing day for doing nothing. Desperate to redeem himself in Coda's eyes, Jim finds himself tangled in a conspiracy to bring the ICA to its knees. But how willing is he to get his hands dirty? How far will they go to break humanity's cycle of self-destruction?
