Distopic Stories

"We would be nothing without someone controlling us, wouldn't we?" Charles asked, his voice carried away by the wind that was slowly raising. "Guess we're lucky enough to never find that out" Charles Diaz is the perfect soldier. Silent, lethal, obedient. To the League, he is a "Ghost," a weapon that asks no questions and leaves no trace. He lives to carry out orders, until a shadow from the past returns to darken the present. Ernesh is pure chaos. A crime boss whose influence spreads like a virus through the streets of the New York. Crazy, unpredictable, and, above all, the only case the League has never been able to close. Following a mission that ended up in a disaster, Charles finds himself stuck in a deadly alliance with the very man he was supposed to eliminate. But his proximity to Ernesh triggers an unexpected tension, a morbid bond made up of provocations, glances in the shadows, and a strange, twisted mutual understanding. Ernesh is the only one who seems to know Charles' true nature, the only one capable of shaking the emptiness in his chest. Between high-risk infiltrations and betrayals, Charles finds himself walking a tightrope: will he remain a puppet in the hands of the League, or will he be the one to put an end to it all?

Rio de Janeiro, 2952. In the rubble of a dead city, researchers find a domestic robot with fragmented memories of decades of collapse. Through its recordings, a disturbing truth emerges: the end didn't come all at once. It came slowly. Pill by pill. Wall by wall. Silence by silence. Between screens that replaced windows and flowers that grow where they shouldn't, a family disintegrates while the world crumbles. But the robot saw something the researchers don't yet understand-something about the drug called "flower," about the walls that became communities, about the day when everyone stopped recognizing each other. Some memories shouldn't be recovered.

IMPORTANT **This story is fanfiction. The One Piece characters and the Genv concept from The Boys do not belong to me. Only the character named "V" belongs to me. This clarification is necessary to prevent my story from being deleted.** Created by the World Government with the objective of imposing absolute order, he escapes before fulfilling his purpose and begins to travel the world trying to understand humanity, not to save it nor destroy it. The protagonist obtains powers similar to those of Homelander, but much stronger. Gen V depends on the base; for example, Homelander, being human, obtained enough strength to lift an airplane. V, on the other hand, possesses a much more powerful artificial DNA, created from the strongest beings in the world. Because of this, when he reaches adulthood, his power could reach a planetary scale, even close to that of a small solar system. Due to that potential, V is "nerfed" so that he does not destroy the world in five chapters. Even so, he retains the possibility of becoming the strongest creature that has ever existed. V lives with the objective of achieving immortality in order to understand humanity.

In a world suffocated by perpetual smoke, where the blue of the sky exists only in forbidden photographs and what remains of the planet agonizes under layers of pollution and lies, a seven-year-old girl holds in her eyes something everyone believed lost: hope. Alicia grows up between shadows and secrets. Her mother carries two lives imprisoned in her gaze. Her father is only a vague memory, perhaps manipulated, perhaps real. And the Writings - the only permitted truth - dictate what can be said, thought, remembered. But Alicia knows too much for her age. She knows what mustn't be spoken. She knows that some questions are dangerous. And even so, she continues pointing to the dark sky, asking: "What do you think it was like?" Between toxic fogs that swallow everything like sticky fingers, fragments of a forbidden past, and the suffocating awareness that every word matters, Alicia must discover what really happened to the planet - and to the people who once dared to tell the truth. But in a world where even innocence can be manipulated, can a small child challenge the system that imprisons humanity? A visceral and thrilling dystopia that will leave you breathless. If you love stories of survival, silent resistance, and characters who carry the weight of the world on their shoulders, prepare to dive into a dark universe where each chapter reveals one more layer of mystery - and danger.

Salve lettori! Mi permetto di presentarvi questa raccolta di storie perché non c'è un filo conduttore tra i capitoli che leggerete. Si tratta proprio di quello che vedete lassù nel titolo: frammenti di storie. Vi parlerò dei miei personaggi, di coloro che vivono nella mia mente e che, ahimè, non ne usciranno mai; sono davvero di ogni tipo e di ogni specie immaginabile, di ogni età e orientamento sessuale, di ogni realtà, da quella medievale a quella futuristica... Ognuno di loro per me è speciale a modo suo, e spero che riusciranno a conquistare anche voi, che "sfoglierete" i loro passati. Non mi resta che augurarvi buona lettura, vi aspetto in tanti!

Introduction Imagine a future where the most precious commodity isn't money or gold, nor power, but the very essence of who you are: your memory. Welcome to Dome XIII, a dystopian metropolis where every fragment of life, every emotion, every experience is encoded and archived in neural diaries, the Scriptum. Here, memory is the new currency, the very breath of the economy. Those who possess it hold power. Those who lose it... vanish into oblivion. In this hive of rogue artificial intelligences, obsessive clubs, and liquid architectures, every transaction is an exchange of identity. Do you desire unattainable luxury? An emotion you've never felt? The price is always the same: a memory. But you cannot choose what to forget. Every payment with memory is a blind ritual, a leap into the void. The machine extracts randomly, and it's not always an insignificant detail. The price is unknown until the very end, but once paid... it's forever. Every individual in Dome XIII has a Scriptum, a Neural Diary that records every lived and internalized experience. It is a sacred-technological object, an inseparable extension of the mind and identity. Without it, one is nothing; the collapse of identity is total: those deprived of it become Nameless, sentient but disoriented, fragmented creatures, starved for meaning and self, destined to ramble in the void of the city's shadow zones, sometimes degenerating into something less than human. The elites and powerful Megacorporations feed on the memories of others, acquiring them in a parasitic capitalist race. Artists sell pieces of their memory to create immortal works. The masses slowly bleed themselves dry, selling their past to live illusions they won't remember. Every choice costs a piece of you. And the bill always comes due. Dome XIII is a world where identity is a luxury, memory is a commodity, and one's name... is the last defense against nothingness. "Who are you, if you don't remember yourself?"
