It's the year 2498, and the world has found itself enraptured in a dystopian society enforced by a worldwide totalitarian government. In the world's quest to define the perfect human being, a compartmentalisation system was developed, one that separates the desirables from the undesirables. In doing so, the government plans to identify the successful traits necessary to create the perfect human being. But how can a human possibly be perfect if they are not allowed to express emotion?
Reagan Peterson and Barrett Harper are due to attend their first reaping ceremonies to be sorted a society suited specifically to them. With Reagan's disregard for empathy, and Barrett's abrupt, brash nature, they're both in with a good chance of making one of the top desirable societies. But what will happen when love is thrown in the mix? Will everything they've worked so hard for simply fall apart?

Second No More, a novel
I've dreamed of the perfect marriage ever since I was a little girl: a marriage complete with a hardworking husband while I tended to the home and our children, preferably four little rugrats to call my own. I dreamed of a life filled with laughter, joy, and success, a life we built together. I dreamed of growing old next to my husband, creating a great love story to tell our grandchildren someday. It all seemed so possible. I was raised to be the perfect wife, after all. From the outside, it seemed I had exactly what I dreamed of with the rich, determined husband; the brilliant, gaudy diamond ring; and the beautiful home filled with the hope of future children. Yes, it was all a dream come true. I should have felt grateful, really. The problem is, I also wanted a marriage based on love, passion, and affection, but those are the only things my husband cannot give me . . . . . . because they're reserved for her.

Wish, a fan-tale
YES THIS IS BASED ON THE DISNEY MOVIE YES IT FOLLOWS THE STORYLINE VERY SIMILARLY I DO NOT CLAIM ANY RIGHTS TO THE CHARACTERS, LOCATION, STORY, ETC ETC, I'VE WATCHED THE MOVIE, ACTUALLY LIKED IT, BUT THIS IS MY VERSION IF IT WAS WRITTEN AS LIKE AN ACTION-ROMANCE WITH THAT NOTORIOUS STAR-BOY. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT SUE ME (or hate me :( ) Wishes are one of the most powerful things about humans. They hold people's deepest desires, deepest thoughts, and most beautiful dreams. But they are also magically powerful, and the King of Rosas knows this. The great sorcerer King Magnifico founded Rosas with the sole purpose of harvesting this power. His people, when they turn 18, give him their wishes in exchange they get to live in a safe, beautiful, and prosperous kingdom completely for free. And once a year, a lucky citizen may have their wish granted, returning back to whole. However giving up a wish is a difficult thing. It's like taking away a part of your soul, leaving behind an empty gap no material object will fill. Asha, a 17 year old girl who has yet to give up her wish, watched as this emptiness consumed her grandfather. He is about to turn 100 years old, which means he has lived almost 82 years with that emptiness that seemed to just grow and grow over the years, but he is a strong man, never giving up on the dream that one year his wish will be granted. Asha, determined to make his wish come true, tries to become the King's apprentice, one of the sure-fire ways a wish could be granted, is to become the one who can grant it. But instead of learning how to grant wishes, Asha learns the dark reason why King Magnifico keeps them. Fearing for her people's wishes, Asha turns away from the King and his ways, doing the forbidden and wished upon a star, only for a boy who's hair glowed like starlight to fall from the sky.Complete![πΈππ ππ π π»ππ [βπ ππ‘πππ₯ππ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/259479678-256-k366673.jpg)

L.O.V.E.
100 years ago, amidst WW3's nuclear bombing, a deadly virus was released in the atmosphere and nearly wiping out the humanity. It lives inside the human brain thriving on the empathy receptors, leading to irrational behaviour and ultimately brain death. To slow the damage, scientists created L.O.V.E, short for Living Off Vital Emotions, a nanovaccine that numbs the virus and switches off all strong emotions. As a last resort and with a dying planet, the Supreme Government created the City, a place to contain the infected survivors suitable for the experiment. Those in the first stages of illness became ideal candidates to receive the neuroinhibitor. Having their feelings restrained and their memory altered, those who come of age are designated a life partner through a Selection process, thus preserving the humankind. A few decades after the trial had started, scientists had a major breakthrough. The nanites, which are highly chemically reactive organisms, are changing their bio-engineered purpose when dopamine levels are high. With a new generation of nanoids, stronger and smarter to fight the battle, the virus doesn't have a chance. Many attempts were made to create a man-made version of synthetic dopamine and each time the outcome was a disaster. Their goal is to create new generations, immune to the virus. These are called Purebloods, the offsprings of those who find pure love, the only cure to save them from a violent death. Running out of time, the Experiment entered in its final stages. To minimize the threats, the Colonies have sent their best soldiers to oversee the trial and protect its key subjects. If only things were going according to plan, or better...stay hidden. With Iron Guard, the resistance outside the walls, hunting the Purebloods too, will the trial save human race before it's too late? #3 in #dystopianfuture (27.06.2020)Complete![COMPATIBLE [Unedited]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/268373373-256-k88571.jpg)
