"KARMA is the messiah of our corrupted world. No one questions it, talks about it, or disrespects it. If you do, you're dead." The year is 2058. ten years ago, the start of a rebellion caused the start of the next world war, and the start of the corruption of society. Countries, Cities, and Continents were destroyed from the effects of Nuclear Warfare, leaving the remaining pieces of land separated into five different Areas. SALVATION, is one of them. SALVATION is the only place free from the impurities of the global catastrophe, and home to one of the most influential and idolized societies, KARMA. Ava has always obeyed KARMA at all costs, and has devoted her life to working for them since birth. She knew the Code all her life, and lived by it at all costs. What she learned, however, is that the world she thought she knew and cherished, was all a lie, and that she is a lie herself. She's been a pawn in KARMA's plot, and she must find the others like her in order to stop it, before it's too late.

So forbidden it's borderline illegal. It feels illegal in a town like this. It was just sex. Ridiculous, I hate you sex with the one guy in school I had no business being with. But the line between love and hate blurs easily. And in a town like this, where secrets are hard to keep, we're playing with fire. Quitting him doesn't work, especially when he wants me even worse than I want him. Despite how much he hates me, despite that we were destined to hate each other. The only sure way to keep a secret is to be the only one who knows it. But this secret already involves two. And it's bound to get out and wreak havoc on my life and my plans for escape. The only questions that will remain are- was he worth it and will we survive the fall out?Complete

The Curse of Seven
"Listen carefully, Amara... Seven souls have fallen from grace. You will find one who is prideful and vain, one who has become sick with that which he craves, one whose desires will control his aims, one who resents that which he cannot attain, one who consumes more than which he's ordained, one who disregards love for rage, and one who does little for those in aid. Seven Sins... Seven months, and your burden will be lifted." ~~~~~~ Amara has spent five years of her life away from the world, the weight of her past shadowing her every step.

The Shelter
No one really knew how X's came to be. One day there weren't any, the next day half the population was wiped out. All Karma knew was that they are technological monsters, fit to be the world's biggest weapon, after the splitting particle ray which could reduce any person into air particles in a millisecond. Karma realised how simple it would be to destroy an army even with one X. They were practically indestructible, perfect killing machines, only they'd turned on the government, apparently. Or maybe those bastards had escaped perfectly unharmed, watching how the country was being destroyed. Maybe it was an excuse for overpopulation. xx-xx Karma has been trying to survive for over a year, but it's difficult when X's, mechanical killing machines, roam the streets, hungry for human flesh. Every day that passes by without finding a portal brings the morale lower. They need to escape the country before they all end up dead. It doesn't help that the X's have changed their tactics and are now manipulating people to commit suicide. The death rate keeps increasing, and Karma has to find out what family means, and to what extremes she would go to save the ones she loves.Complete
