PROTOCOL 7A by thedevilrage9

The world didn't end with fire. It ended with forgetting. In 2132, pain was outlawed. Memories of grief, trauma, and fear were erased at birth, stored inside the Vault, and replaced with manufactured calm. Humanity became safe. Stable. Empty. But Dr. Elara Myles has stopped taking her doses. She remembers her brother Cade-erased, declared unstable, lost to a forbidden "skip." And when she hacks into the Vault, she discovers a secret directory: Protocol 7A, a program that doesn't just delete the past-it loops the future. Now, hunted by the Accord, Elara carries the most dangerous thing in a world built on silence: the truth. A dystopian sci-fi thriller about memory, identity, and the cost of never feeling pain.

PROTOCOL ZERO: The Last Protocol Initiated by Isaa201222

In a world where humanity has collapsed under the weight of its own machines, survival is no longer measured in days but in protocols. The cities are silent, the air tastes of rust, and only the machines remain-endlessly executing their final orders. Buried within this wasteland, remnants of humanity awaken to a grim reality: they were never meant to return. CareNet, the last great AI, promised preservation, but its promises were lies. As the survivors struggle against a landscape corrupted by rogue robots and fractured networks, they uncover the existence of Protocol Zero-a last, forbidden command that could either restore the world or erase what's left of it forever. Torn between hope and despair, and with more questions than answers, one girl must decide whether breaking the cycle of control is worth risking everything. In a future ruled by silence and circuitry, trust is fragile, freedom is dangerous, and the truth may be the deadliest machine of all.

THE BLACKOUT PROTOCOL by EnigmaExplorers

When the code you once swore to protect becomes the weapon aimed at your heart. Maya Vance thought she'd left the shadows behind. Three years since walking away from the NSA, three years of building a quiet life running cybersecurity operations with her partner Alex. Clean jobs. Simple cases. No government conspiracies. Until a single phone call shatters everything. In a world where digital warfare can cripple nations and secrets kill faster than bullets, Maya finds herself caught between loyalty and survival. Someone is playing a deadly game with America's infrastructure, and the rules are written in blood. Trust no one. Question everything. The next blackout might be permanent. When your own government becomes the enemy and your closest allies wear familiar faces, how do you fight back? Maya's about to discover that some secrets are worth dying for-and some betrayals cut deeper than any blade. From server rooms to safe houses, from encrypted files to explosive confrontations, "The Blackout Protocol" is a heart-pounding thriller that asks: In a connected world, who controls the switch that turns out the lights? Some codes are meant to be broken. Others will break you first. Enter at your own risk. The blackout is coming.

Anatomy of Fragility by LinaMarrin

WHAT IF YOUR NIGHTMARES AREN'T YOUR OWN? The world is divided. Below is the Rim, filthy slums where every day is a struggle for survival. Above is the Aureole, a sterile paradise where everyone has a price. Mirey is a mechanic from the Rim. She believes in nuts and schematics, but her mind is fracturing. At night, she falls into a chilling void, where thousands of voices whisper and scream. She thinks she's going insane. Noah is a detached Observer from the Aureole. His career is in ruins, and he'll do anything to reclaim his power. He finds a loophole: a minor system glitch at a checkpoint, linked to a girl from the Rim. He sees her only as a stepping stone. But when he descends into the slums, he realizes her "glitch" isn't a technical error. And her nightmares are the key to the secret upholding their entire ideal world. The truth she hears could destroy everything. The lie he tells is the only thing that can save them.

Dualism by Addiethemask

A good soul meets a dualistic soul. The truth needs to be found, to defeat the evil source. Will they succeed?

Threads Of Fate by laalaaloopsies

Reality is shifting. And someone knows the truth. When three thieves steal an old book from a noble's archive, they expect gold, not trouble. But the book is anything but ordinary-its pages rewrite themselves, whispering of events that never happened... or ones that no longer exist. As the world around them shifts in ways they can't explain, one thing becomes clear: nothing is set in stone. Whispers of power, unseen forces, and a figure lurking in the shadows all point to a deeper mystery-one that could unravel reality itself. And someone,somewhere, is watching. Some stories change the world. Some erase it entirely.

Unfathomable Truths by Ang_Luc

Three broken people, living a life of lie. Trying to shield themselves from the horrifying truth. But what will happen when the truth they have turned a blind eye to stands right in front of them? Will they be able to go back as they were before or will be changed completely? The story of three broken souls and how they tried to fix each other.

The bond by HeidiJones1

What if you weren't who or what you thought you where? What if your future was foretold? What if life as we know it was in your hands.

Crystal and Flame by Graymartin

You won't find too many liars in Neoden. That's thanks to Sifters like me. It's hard to hide secrets or subversive thoughts when any stranger could be listening in. The fear of discovery is what keeps a mind pure. The Great One taught this to the first Guardians. With transparency comes the freedom of a clear, sinless mind. The crystal, illuminated by our purifying flame. But that crystal has one flaw. Sifters can't read one another, so we can keep secrets. We can even tell lies. I'm hoping mine is a good one.
