Lai Mansen is an imp, or a genetically improved human, one of four owned by the genetic technician Felix Mansen. She has a standard appearance, a standard job, and a standard family...but something has always been a little off about her, a little different from the norm. While most imps are completely devoted to their work, she'd rather read old-fashioned books, write fairy tales, and play her keyboard than focus on her career. It's been ten years since she was created, and people are starting to worry about her. Then the Imps Liberation Group -- an anti-human organization hellbent on turning the order of imps and humans upside-down -- attacks a nearby settlement. Suddenly, Lai's quirkiness is the least of anyone's worries.

As a volunteer army called the Uniters joins the fight to put the ILG back in their place, a bizarre mystery starts to unravel. It all comes down to one mysterious name: Pandora Amity, an alleged human/imp hybrid who disappeared long ago. The battle continues, and then Lai learns the truth about the ILG...and about herself. And now, no matter what she does, things will never be the same again...

The Originators by beleeves
23 parts Complete
2,218 Earth won't stop heating up, normal temperatures average 135°. With imminent destruction looming, someone has to figure out what's causing planetary chaos. LAURA, a descendant of the Originators, has always known she owns this puzzle, this responsibility. Laura has internalized this lifelong burden; in turn, she's developed a dissociative disorder she's effectively kept secret from everyone. Laura's leading the effort to solve this climate crisis, with her team of global environmental, atmospheric scientists for the U.S. company, H20, Corporation. Just when Earth's temperatures are beginning to normalize, the barometer starts climbing back up. Laura believes the human key to the Earth's weather crisis, is the team's newest member, MERC. Only he's not human and he's a charismatic psychopath. Merc's a first generation Originator, who's covertly working with the Untouchables. The Untouchables booby-trapped the Earth with artifacts believed to be creations of Earth's early civilizations. These machines of destruction are responsible for the blazing heat that is incrementally destroying the Earth. What causes complications for Laura's progress is her growing attraction to Merc, oddly because he's as void of a conscience as she is. She needs to figure out if Merc knows where the machines are so she can shut them down. Merc in turn, needs to stop Laura from finding the machines to keep Earth on its path to ruination. They are more powerful than they are letting on, and have no qualms about killing the other.

guys please don't read this anymore lmao i write totally differently now💋 _________________ In a future where humans are genetically modified -- 'altered' -- at the age of sixteen, the world has been, until now, a safe place. Without changing a person's personality, undergoing the Alteration perfects their appearance, IQ, and even their immunity to diseases. No human passes the age of sixteen without being Altered. In the blink of an eye, things change. An ominous message is sent out to all of those below the age of sixteen, providing precise instructions that suggest they flee. Simultaneously, a deadly virus starts to spread all about the world, attacking only the Altered -- every human over the age of sixteen. The virus eats at the modified human brain, and soon the Unaltered begin to realise that the Altered are losing their minds. Home is no longer safe. Friends and family turn on one another, losing control of their own minds and bodies. The Unaltered aren't safe. Even if the virus isn't attacking them, the ones with the virus are. Set on a pristine, futuristic Earth, this is the apocalypse like you've never seen it before. (Rated mature for graphic depictions of violence and mild language.)

Reborn in the 1980s: I became a stepmother in the 1980s Ⅱ by TiggerBrian
87 parts Ongoing
Once she opened her eyes, Si Nian became the fake wealthy daughter straight out of a period drama, only to be sent back to the countryside to marry a divorced man in place of the real wealthy daughter, and on top of that, she had to raise a bunch of brats. Not only that, she also ran into the reincarnated real wealthy daughter. In her previous life, Lin Si Si was pressured by her family to marry an older divorced man who treated her coldly and indifferently. Meanwhile, Si Nian, who stole her wealthy daughter status, married a military officer and lived a sweet and happy life. In her second chance at life, she was determined to steal Si Nian's military officer husband and make her taste the bitterness she had endured. But the real wealthy daughter's plans didn't go as expected. Instead, Si Nian stayed by the side of the older man, amassed a fortune of billions, and her children flourished. When she was brought before the older man, Si Nian was not at all flustered: "This is the man who would rather help others raise children and adamantly refuses to have his own." While others avoided him, Si Nian's eyes lit up: "Firstly, being a mother is a noble act, and secondly, I will be a great stepmother." Years later, after the real wealthy daughter dealt with the military officer's illegitimate child and was robbed of her inheritance, she found herself in unbearable misery. She thought to herself, even if it's not ideal, it's still better than how Si Nian is living. Having children or not, raising others' children - what's the difference from being a nanny? But one day, that terrifyingly cold and fierce wealthy man, who was now tenderly supporting the pregnant Si Nian out of the car, cradled her in his hands with such affection that it was beyond measure. Si Nian angrily pulled the man's hair, "Didn't you say you didn't want children!" The older man gently kissed her hand, "Wife, I was wrong. I'll consider having one next time."
Chip & Pin, Pandora (book 1 of 5) by MikeBacon70
1 part Complete Mature
Pandora Wallace, along with her twin Adam, is born into the iniquitous British society of 2035. This story follows the first 18 years of Pandora's blighted life. In 2015 the British government start micro-chipping babies, at birth, and then spend 14 years also chipping all of the adult population. In 2030 they abolish cash completely and all transactions have to be carried out via a human's on-board chip. This microchip is inserted into the heart wall of all acceptably healthy babies at the moment of their birth; the heart muscles powers the chip by recharging the battery. A second microdot 'PIN' is inserted at a random point in the baby's body. Should this 'PIN' become separated from the heart chip by any distance it causes the heart microchip to explode. The government is able to electronically disable or suspend the operation of anyone's chip at their whim, leaving the owner reliant upon the charity of others, or dead. Pandora is born with a minor gene defect which precludes her from being 'chipped'. Following a family crisis, at 14 years old, she is forced out on the streets to join the vast numbers of 'non-chips' who have to rely upon charity and slave labour to survive, not being allowed to work legally or earn money. Pandora finally goes to work for the underworld, determined to claw her way to the top and acquire an illegal microchip. She becomes a messenger at first and then her virginity is auctioned off by her boss. She becomes a high-class prostitute, a bodyguard and tangles with both a psychopathic killer and a government department determined to kill her and her boss. Books 2, 3, 4 & 5r continue to tell Pandora's story, together with that of the ill-conceived Chip & PIN system.
