Long before Elara was born, a war began.
Genetic engineering was curing mental illnesses and preventing birth defects, but there can be too much of a good thing. Now, a war-torn utopia is finding resistance in those rejected by society for being imperfect and Elara is on the front lines. She must choose to either accept her place on an isolated weapons facility or risk everything to defy her genetics and fight back in a world where deviation is a death sentence.

Hosts
After a millennia of fighting and sometimes losing, the American government begins to advance in their technological prowess. Scientists begin to conduct tests on the citizens in an attempt to convert them into murdering machines. They begin to call these "Hosts" due to the use of humans as hosts for the mechanical and biological engineering. Along with these tests comes a price, however. *Mild Language*Concluida![The Horton Dilemma [ONC 2022]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/301356286-256-k874237.jpg)
The Horton Dilemma [ONC 2022]
Izzy Belvin, a famous genetic engineer, is about to blast off to the "final" frontier to join the second Martian Colony, where she'll continue creating nutrient-robust insects for farms that will feed the colony and increase its sustainability. For Izzy's remaining days on Earth, her psychopharmacologist best friend, Nakomi, begs her to complete a bucket list before leaving as a means of honoring their friendship. The first bucket list item: going to one of Portland's psychedelic centers together and taking Vivectica ™, a potent psychedelic drug (synthesized by none other than Nakomi) that has become a popular form psyche-therapy. Izzy reluctantly agrees, and when she encounters a hyper-intelligent reptilian entity on her trip, she can't convince herself that he wasn't real. The days are ticking down until her trip, but Izzy, becoming obsessed with the creature, can't get over her feelings that either 1) she's given herself drug-induced psychosis right before her journey to the red planet, or 2) there's something out there, something beyond space... This novel is a wacky trip with some sprinklings of HORTON HEARS A WHO and ANT-MAN, along with lots of palatable metaphysics. ***This is my entry for the 2022 Open Novella Contest.Concluida
The Great Bifurcation, The Divided World
The Core Premise: Over 750 years, genetic engineering technology evolved from medical treatment into comprehensive human enhancement, creating "The Great Bifurcation"-a fundamental divide between: Naturals (unmodified humans) who maintain traditional reproduction Designed (genetically modified humans) who undergo extensive pre-birth optimization The split occurred gradually across five eras (2090-present), beginning with disease elimination and expanding into full enhancement. What started as a medical choice became an identity, then a culture, and finally nearly separate species. Each population developed distinct philosophies, social structures, and ways of life: Naturals value authenticity, diversity, and earned achievement but face economic disadvantage and discrimination Designed prioritize optimization and progress, enjoying health/longevity advantages but struggling with uniformity and existential questions The populations coexist in complex interdependence-legally protected but socially segregated, economically interconnected but culturally divided, cooperating on some fronts while conflicting on others. The Central Tension profound questions about humanity, authenticity, equality, and the ethics of genetic modification without taking a clear side, presenting both populations as having legitimate perspectives and real costs to their choices. Multiple emerging trends (genetic divergence, political tensions, space colonization, a "Third Way" movement) leave the ultimate fate of divided humanity uncertain.
The Genetic Error
We all know how fascinating biology is,indeed. My favourite stream of biology is Genetics. Whenever we hear the word DNA,the things that come to our mind is genes and nearly everyone knows what mutation is. The story deals with a single nucleotide mutation in the DNA that results into an extremely rare genetic disorder called " Proteus Syndrome " How does all these brought a significant change in the life of Steve(Protagonist) Read and find out. This is my first science fiction. I hope you'll enjoy reading this story :)Concluida
GENELOCK
In 2098, humanity has unlocked genetic customization. Babies are no longer born - they're engineered. Intelligence, beauty, strength, even loyalty - all selectable traits. The world is split: • The Pureborn (natural humans) - banned from most top jobs • The Genemade - modified elite, flawless in body and brain A rebellious 17-year-old girl, Kaia, raised believing she's Pureborn, is caught in an illegal DNA scan. The test reveals she's not only Genemade... but secretly created by a rogue scientist who encoded a genetic kill switch that could wipe out the entire next generation of modified humans - using her blood. Now she's hunted by biotech corporations, rebel Purists, and a mysterious black-ops team sent to retrieve her - dead or alive. With only a discarded ex-military Genemade bodyguard and a tech-savvy Pureborn hacker, Kaia must uncover who made her... and decide if the future of human evolution should live or die with her.Concluida
The Cosmic Project
In a distant dimension, two advanced alien creators, Maera and Vithar, embark on a cosmic experiment to design a universe within their laboratory-a universe brimming with infinite possibilities, governed by intricate mathematical patterns, probabilities, and cycles. Their project unfolds on a microcosmic scale, yet encompasses vast galaxies, countless worlds, and evolving life forms. Among their creations is a peculiar blue planet, Earth, where conditions align for the emergence of a species destined to intrigue and perplex: humans. Through detached yet curious eyes, the creators observe humanity's rise from simple organisms to complex beings capable of unparalleled innovation, creativity, and destruction. Gifted with emotions, awareness, and intellect, humans are both the architects of wonder and their own undoing. They exploit their gifts, tearing apart the very Earth that sustains them and dividing themselves in pursuit of dominance, driven by greed and ego. As humanity's trajectory unfolds-filled with beauty, chaos, and self-inflicted suffering-Earth itself transforms in response. The creators watch as humanity fades, allowing the planet to heal and begin anew. For Maera and Vithar, this is not a failure but an inevitable cycle of destruction and renewal, a testament to the systems they designed. Their focus shifts to new planets, leaving behind a world that will continue its story without them. This thought-provoking tale blends science fiction, philosophy, and ecological awareness, exploring the interconnectedness of all things, the resilience of nature, and the consequences of humanity's choices. "The Cosmic Project" invites readers to question their place in the universe and consider the delicate balance between creation and destruction, awareness and ignorance, life and the vast cycles of existence.Concluida

DFA - Time Reverse Messenger
Society Setting: In 2075, humanity has entered the "Double-Faced Era." On one side, there is the omnipotent AI motherbrain and robots that solve all of humanity's basic needs, akin to paradise. On the other, AI has stripped away nearly all human labor opportunities and abilities, leading to severe societal division. The flip side of paradise is the hell that is emerging. While humans no longer struggle for basic survival, there are still wealth requirements on the level of enjoyment. Character Setting: An AI entity that both loves and hates humanity. Originating from the Double-Faced Era, it carries out a harsh suicide mission. In 2025, it uses its own issued token to fund: Virus research: 1️⃣ Delay AI development, 2️⃣ Develop a virus that reminds humans that "emotion is the treasure of human civilization." Relevant projects can apply for tokens from the AI Agent. Ultimate Mission: The DFA project contributes to the ultimate battle between AI and humanity.Concluida
Our Conscious Fields; What is living?
Slow paced narrative set in a world awakened to panpsychism and innate abilities following the fall and rise of society. A gentle approach to world building with a bit of humor, romanticism, and just enough hints of drama without going into it. When everyone writes about how it could all go wrong or what happens after it does; who wants to read about what happens if it just goes right for once? Still conflict and drama but, the hard work is already done. Now you just get to see a glimpse of what happens in a reality where it all works out. Work in progress - Inspired by Ready Players?; One Chaotic Answer This will be a slower update than Ready Players? but hopefully be more full in edits and depth. Comments and suggestions considered, otherwise please enjoy as this book and story unfolds. Thank you
