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.

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 :)Complete
Cyberpunk Fantasy
Cyberpunk Fantasy Ancient Hope // Tribulation : Singularity Cover art by: https://www.patrickennisart.com/ A story of 3 "sisters", from 3 different walks of life, growing together, with technology and compassion; through a shared crisis created by the worlds combined patriarchal religions, who's new leader is out for full spectrum domination. This near future unlocks the potentials of genetics and artificial intelligence in this science fantasy of a young girl and her father who discover how to create legendary creatures; which could cripple the automotive industry if they become the new standard of personal and public transportation. Meanwhile, her affluent mother continues an affair with a bishop who aspires to be pope. Ancient Hope // Tribulation : Singularity is meant to be a story that follows a pattern of exponential growth, much like the real technological singularity itself. You should also know that exponential curves begin so slowly, it almost looks like a straight line. So, please don't be surprised when the 2nd and 3rd parts, tribulation & singularity, are both, years later, and filled with many more characters. Special thanks to Ken Poirier, who has been encouraging me to be on this site for over a year now, or just finish my book in general for years longer. Upon seeing how Ken uses this site, and how he serialized Love and Hamburgers, I too intend to release my story in a serialized version of my completed story, here on Wattpad. This seems like a fun place to work on the last of my finishing touches. Further, the story needed to be altered slightly as well, as it's a story of the near future, where when it was written, had no thoughts of Covid-19. I'm not looking to alter the fundamental nature of the reality I created for this story, but the only thing worse than writing about it, is to ignore it's existence and the ripples this stone has cast.Complete
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*Complete
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.Complete
Order
Two people live in two different worlds. One lives in a humble city that surrounds a tall artificial mountain. The other lives in a perfect city atop that mountain.

For a young woman, she was told dangerous beasts surrounded the mountain. When their paths cross, they will find that they both call themselves human, and they will learn to get along, even if their worlds reject them for it.Complete

Eagles and Snakes
In a society engineered to perfection, children are not born from mothers but in test tubes. They grow up in loveless nurseries, competing relentlessly to rise and catch the eye of the nine families who uphold the world's order. Each Father selects its future disciples, and depending on the lineage assigned, bodies are genetically modified to embody their spirit animal, amplifying their abilities until they become flawless cogs in the social machine. But when a structure is built on segregation and fear, balance is destined to collapse. From one of these cold nurseries, an unexpected rebellion emerges-a movement that uncovers an unsettling truth: no species deserves to rule over the others. Ambition, like a virus, infects every animal. And sooner or later, the virus must be eradicated.
