Last Hope: Blood Harvest by VaanMarthell

In a world torn and haunted by its past, a deadly key lies buried within a dying young man. Cipher is afflicted by a mysterious illness-an insidious disease that eats away at his body as it awakens a power the broken earth has never seen. This could be the spark that restores what was lost... or the trigger that brings about the end. As he struggles for control, factions emerge. To the desperate, he's a fragile hope. To the powerful, he is a weapon of destruction. And to clandestine orders, he is the ultimate heresy-a living secret that must be silenced. But in a world where survival is a prayer and truth is buried under the ashes, Cipher must ask the biggest question of all: is destiny a path he must walk or a chain he must break? In this dark and dystopian future, the fine line between salvation and ruin is written in a language he must decode.

Threads Of Fate by laalaaloopsies

She was never meant to be his wife. She was meant to be his revenge. When Anastasia is forced into a marriage she never chose, she becomes bound to Killian-a man feared for his silence as much as his violence. To her family, the union is protection. To him, it is justice long delayed. Every vow is calculated. Every act of devotion hides a blade. Killian has waited years to dismantle the family that destroyed his own, and through Anastasia, he finally holds the thread that can unravel them all. But fate has a cruel sense of irony. The woman meant to be collateral begins to matter. And the deeper the bond between them grows, the more impossible his revenge becomes. Because some threads, once pulled too tight, cannot be cut without blood.

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.

Crystal Eye by Arie_muse

What stayed with me before the Ring wasn't the walls-it was his voice. Keosha thought she knew the rules: stay sharp, stay fast, stay alive. But the Ring doesn't play by rules-it rewrites them. Inside a glass cage dressed like paradise, seven strangers are forced to survive a system that feeds on more than blood. Secrets are currency. Trust is a noose. And the deeper Keosha digs, the more she realizes the walls weren't just built to contain them-they were built to break them. In the Ring, beauty is a weapon. And devotion? It's the fastest way to die.

The Feeling Underneath by Gigi_washere

They were crushed to serve, protect, and aid people with the powers that were burned deep within their DNA. But some fires refuse to be extinguished. Two-Sixty-Eight is one of many male Artificial Humans - experiments grown in secret underneath the towering LGA Hospital. An ironic disguise. Though they are born with the bodies of teenagers, inside they are still children - innocent minds wrapped in weapons of flesh. But innocence is a liability and their creators waste no time crushing it. From the moment they open their eyes, the torment begins. Merciless training. Punishment disguised as progress. Commands barked by Suited and Armed men who demand perfection. Obey or bleed. There was no other option. But one man dares to care. Two-Sixty's caretaker, Joseph Collins, goes against protocol and whispers forbidden truths - trying to keep the human part of him alive. On the other side of the laboratory, the female AHs are spared no more mercy. Designed not for combat, but for something colder. Surrogacy. But behind locked doors, a flicker of resistance grows within Two-Sixty's heart. He gathers a handful of trusted AHs and begins to question, to hope, to dream of The Outside - a forbidden place, that if uttered, could result in Capital Punishment. And no one ever came back from that. They've endured the crushing long enough. It's foolish to yank a dog's ear too many times. Eventually, they will draw blood. Backed into a corner, the AHs bet everything on a dream never tasted: escape. But will they succeed or will the price of freedom be paid in blood? It only takes a spark to start a fire. And this spark is about to ignite hell.

Ashes of tomarrow by kr3epyk1tten

Genre: Sci-Fi | Psychological Horror | Post-Apocalyptic Drama When the world burned, four teenagers survived. Milo, Rae, Ava, and Silas didn't ask to live through the end - but they did. Now, stuck in a ruined world of silence, shadows, and memories that aren't always their own, they fight to stay human in a landscape shaped by something unnatural. But survival gets more complicated when they uncover a chilling truth: the apocalypse wasn't a disaster. It was a test. A controlled experiment under the name Project Loci - and they were its subjects. Now stalked by cloned imposters, haunted by flickers of who they used to be, and drawn toward a signal no one else is meant to hear, the group must decide what they're willing to lose to uncover the truth... and what might already be lost. Because in a world built from lies, the biggest question isn't what happened. It's who are you now that everything's gone? What will happen once one dies?

Dualism by Addiethemask

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

The Hidden Game by bjcoupland

When Amelia Swanson was four, her parents were murdered. The killer was never caught. Twelve years later, something opens a door to her past. It doesn't offer Amelia any answers - only more questions. Dangerous questions. ...The kind people have died for. Now Amelia and her best friend Marv are being hunted. By a system built to suppress the past. By people who have killed to keep secrets buried. And by something dark that stalks her dreams-something that knows her name. As the net tightens around them, Amelia realises they aren't the only ones searching. Everyone is circling the same hidden conspiracy. Politicians. Journalists. Scientists. Secret societies. Resistance cells. Assassins. Amelia begins to understand the truth she was never meant to find: her parents weren't random victims. They were players in a hidden game. And she just stepped onto the board. ------ What to expect from The Hidden game: - A conspiracy thriller with underlying psychological horror elements. - A slow-burn investigation that constantly escalates into real danger and a large conspiracy. - A surveillance-state dystopia and critique of both systemic and algorithmic power. - Layered mysteries where every answer creates new questions. - The story has a strong focus on found family and fiercely loyal friendships. Content warning: parental death (past/flashback), trauma and PTSD, nightmares, occasional violence and death (no gore), and pervasive surveillance themes. ------ Release schedule: I'm aiming to release a new chapters every 10-14 days with short breaks (2-4 weeks) between seasons. Current status: Book 1, Season 1 complete (20 Transmissions, ~60k words). Season 2 is underway and the hunt is active. Planned scope: a trilogy of books split across 9 seasons (approximately 750k words).

The Harmony Index by Ophidian87

In a future run by super-intelligent AIs, freedom is just another variable to tune. Elara Myles slips the net of algorithmic control and boards a ship bound for a country built on broken promises. Love lingers. Machines pursue. And something unfamiliar is waking inside her. To survive, she has to decide what she's willingly to surrender-and who she's becoming-in a world where even memory can be revised. A slow-burn sci-fi epic about identity at the seam between people and code.

The bond by HeidiJones1
