    The future did not need everyone. Incellad was one of the people it kept anyway. Taken from his family as a child, implanted, and sent to a streaming studio in dead Moscow, he earns his freedom by selling emotions to people rich enough to buy another person's inner life. His gift is unusual: he can transmit the feeling of home so purely that strangers weep inside their own minds. But the freedom he is saving for may be nothing but another manufactured dream. When the systems feeding the studio fail, Incellad and Stepana are forced into the ruins of a world where no one knows who rules, who pays, or why the unwanted are still being kept alive. The answer waits above Earth - on a station where humanity's last masters are losing control of the intelligence they created. To survive, Incellad will have to cross the boundary between body and machine, love and instinct, human and inhuman. And once he does, the question will no longer be whether he can save himself. It will be whether humanity should be saved at all. Content note: This story contains dark dystopian themes, emotional and bodily exploitation, violence, blood, death, and psychological distress.

    Oliver Kral is a competitive gamer who just washed out of a Prague esports tournament. The loss stings, but it's nothing compared to what comes next. Within days, Oliver and a woman he barely knows are ripped from their lives and strapped to examination tables inside a featureless white chamber. Their captors are small, silent, and unmistakably not human. No explanations or demands. Just restraints, sedation, and routines designed to strip away everything familiar. He's not alone. Other captives have been here longer. An intelligence agent. A mob boss. A medic. A linguist. Each one carrying a different piece of a puzzle none of them asked to solve. Together, they begin mapping the patterns of their prison, looking for cracks in a system built by something far more advanced than anything on Earth. Then a voice appears inside Oliver's mind. It calls itself Shadow. It claims to be a fragment of something their captors tried to destroy. It offers knowledge, perception, and a way out. But freedom has a price. And Shadow isn't telling him everything. Set in Central Europe, Xenoforming is a grounded first contact story about ordinary people pushed past every limit they thought they had. Survival, adaptation, and the growing suspicion that their abduction was never random. This is the first book in the Xenoforming series.

    Ein einziges instabiles Artefakt reichte aus, um sein gesamtes Gedächtnis auszulöschen. Er weiß nicht mehr, wer er war. Er weiß nicht mehr, wie die Welt draußen funktioniert. Er ist nur noch ein Skimmer - ein wertloser Überlebender, der für das System den Dreck wegmacht. Doch als er im eisigen Dunkel seines Bunkers zu sich kommt, ist da noch etwas. Ein blasses, sterbendes Mädchen liegt vor ihm - und in seinem Kopf hämmern unaufhörlich diese drei Worte: Sie ist krank. Er kennt ihren Namen nicht. Er erkennt ihr Gesicht nicht. Und doch spürt er mit jeder Faser seines Seins, dass er ohne sie verloren ist. Um ihr Leben zu retten, bleibt ihm nur ein einziger Ausweg: Er muss tief in das strahlenverseuchte Ödland von Zone 17 vordringen. Zwischen tödlichen Anomalien, verfallener Technologie und den Schatten seiner eigenen gelöschten Vergangenheit kämpft er gegen die Zeit. Denn während er sich mit jedem Schritt aufs Neue in die Frau verliebt, die er vergessen hat, hütet Zone 17 ein düsteres Geheimnis - und die Suche nach einem Heilmittel könnte ihn weit mehr kosten als nur seine Erinnerungen.

    In a future where AI and robotics make most human labor unnecessary, the world's elite quietly decide the masses are expendable. Their solution: Nexaphine, a fentanyl-based compound disguised as a miracle cure for the opioid epidemic mixed with a virus spreading amongst deer populations. But Nexaphine doesn't kill quietly. It transforms its users-stripping away empathy, igniting rage, and leaving behind something less than human, yet terrifyingly alive. As cities burn and governments collapse, a small band of survivors uncovers the truth: humanity wasn't destroyed by accident-it was culled on purpose. Now, they must navigate a world where the line between human and monster blurs, and survival may mean becoming something unrecognizable. The Last Prescription is a chilling, near-future horror novella about power, disposability, and what it truly means to be human in the age of machines. © 2025 MM.

    In the ashes of a fallen empire, one man carries the shadow of a thousand betrayals. The Supreme Imperium is no more. In its place rises the Supremacium-a cabal of zealots and conspirators who have erased history, silenced the old guard, and chained the Verge Galaxies under their tribute laws. Regent Thadeus Galantine, master of the Galactic Pantheon, rules with a hand as heavy as the void. Galek Kane Thaeron, once Lord Marshall of the First Fleet and heir of a noble house, has been cast down as a traitor. For ten Tetherhadron Cycles he has rotted in the prison-world of Perilion Prime, stripped of title, honor, and hope. But Kane's fall was no accident-it was a purge, meant to bury the truth of a murdered Emperor, a lost heir, and the vanishing of the Imperial Memorium itself. Now, with the aid of a cunning spy and a haunted psionic pilot, Kane escapes into the storm of rebellion. On the edges of the Verge he must forge unlikely alliances, uncover forbidden archives, and confront the mysteries the Supremacium has tried to erase. The fate of the galaxy trembles between shadow and flame-and Kane must decide whether he fights to restore the Imperium, or to forge something greater from its ruins. Shadow of Imperium begins the War-Giver Trilogy, a saga of betrayal, rebellion, and the last stand of empires.

    After unlocking the pathway to the Realms Beyond Time, Eona and her team have barely begun to grasp the immense truths buried in the stars. The Flame of Creation stirs, and ancient echoes call to them from within the First Dream-a pre-reality vision left behind by the Eternals, the first beings ever to awaken consciousness. Season 2 follows the crew as they travel into the Dreamscape, a sentient dimension composed of pure memory and imagination. There, they encounter reflections of the multiverse before it was shaped by laws and order. The team must navigate shifting realms of surreal beauty and cosmic dread-where memories become monsters and forgotten ideas try to become real again. As Eona uncovers hidden truths about the origin of the celestial bloodline and the real cost of the Thousand-Year Peace, a new mystery unravels: the Dream is awakening, and it remembers being betrayed. The crew is split across parallel dream-realms, each forced to face personal trials tied to their inner truths. And at the center of it all, the forgotten voice of a being once thought lost-Kei herself-whispers through the stars, guiding Eona toward a final decision that may fracture peace forever... or evolve it into something new.

    In a starless generational ship where population control is just another menial desk job, a bureaucratic assassin discovers his own name on the termination docket-and realizes the real horror isn't the killing, but the paperwork. Welcome to the Ouroboros. The ceilings are 1.9 meters high, the recycled air tastes like six centuries of accumulated breath, and the Grand Actuary demands absolute equilibrium. Matter is reallocated, never wasted. The dead feed the living. HS-01-who named himself Heavy Strike in a desperate bid for autonomy-is a Demographic Adjustment Clerk. He isn't a glamorous, black-clad operative. He's an underpaid, overworked municipal employee who takes the elevator to the Outer Rings, administers standard-issue lethal sedatives to citizens who have exceeded their caloric quotas, and files Form 81-C before his lunch break. He manages the crushing guilt of his job with a simple mantra: At least I chose to be here. But the Ouroboros is a machine, and machines make errors. When HS-01's own designation appears on his daily termination docket, his carefully constructed coping mechanisms begin to fracture. Forced to navigate the very bureaucratic nightmare he helps enforce, HS-01 is pushed to the brink by a terrifyingly efficient new hire, a looming union strike over hazard pay, and the arrival of a shadowy corporate auditor with an archaic datapad and a terrifying agenda. As his particle visor glitches and his cybernetic systems buckle under the weight of his own complicity, HS-01 must decide if he is truly free to fight the system-or if his rebellion is just another line of code written by the architects who abandoned them. The Demographic Adjustment Clerk is a bleak, satirical, and deeply unsettling sci-fi descent into the banality of evil. in case I am not reaching the right people by posting on Wattpad, I would also upload this story on Royal Road under the name of asiankitchendweller. There might be more stuff I would do there, so stay tuned!

    In 2060, the world is calm, efficient, and perfectly guided. Ethan Ward lands his dream job at a powerful technology company without ever sitting an interview. Instead, a device the size of a grain of rice is placed in his ear. They call it the Pebble. It listens, advises, and speaks for him when he hesitates. At first, it feels like help. But as conversations disappear and decisions are made before he can think them, Ethan begins to realise something is wrong. The Pebble does not assist. It replaces. And once it learns your patterns, it no longer needs your permission. This is a psychological techno‑thriller about control disguised as convenience, free will quietly eroding, and the terrifying moment you realise the voice in your head is not your own. If you were given the perfect guide, would you still choose to think for yourself?
