Sons of Hatred by ArionRequiem_

In a world ravaged by a war between powers, a coalition of countries and billionaires has taken control of biotechnology and epigenetics, manipulating the fate of humanity at will. Leading a rebellion against these titans of power, an enigmatic leader vows to rid the world of inhumane experimentation. But his true intentions remain shrouded in mystery. An elite soldier and his team are sent on a mission into the heart of an abandoned complex, once a Coalition stronghold. In the depths of the complex, they encounter an entity, an artificial intelligence that holds disturbing secrets. This entity, more than a machine, reveals fragments of the past and possible visions of the future, raising a host of doubts: Is it a remnant of the ancient masters of the place, or a guide to an unknown truth? As they delve deeper into the labyrinth of metal and shadows, the team will face not only the dangers that inhabit the complex, but also the dilemmas that begin to break their will. The line between mission and manipulation blurs, and what awaits them at the end of this journey could change everything... or destroy it.

Europa by nilan10

In order to embark on a mission to discover alien life on the icy moon of Jupiter Maria must leave her life on Earth behind, including her father and her seven-year-old son Diego. She thought the hardest part of the mission would be saying goodbye, but little does she know what awaits her and her crew on Europa, an environment that has never been explored from the surface until this mission. Perhaps alien life was never meant to be explored by humans... Will she fulfill her promise to her father and son to make it home alive, or will she fail to make good on that promise like her mother did when she was a little girl? Note: This story was written during a challenge to write an entire book in one week! I vlogged the whole process on my YouTube channel (Patrick Procrastinates Writing), my Instagram (@memesforwriters), and my TikTok (@memes4writers). Be sure to check those out if you want a behind the scenes on my writing process behind this project! I will continue to work on Europa, but I will not update this version as it shows what I was able to accomplish in the seven days of the challenge. Please let me know what you think (don't be afraid to be mean).

Prodigy (Complete) by EdwardMullen

In the wake of World War III, which decimated most of the world's population, the remaining survivors vowed to not continue to repeat the same mistakes of the past. Fortunately, they had something previous generations did not have - advanced technology. The year is 2117 and this once shattered civilization has become prosperous again. Innovative forms of technology have enabled them to abandon the old model and re-engineer a better way of living for all. Brain implants and genetic modifications have made an entire population educated, healthy, and kind. Despite the benefits of this technology, it has created some unforeseen side effects that threaten humankind's existence. When technology proves to be inept at solving the world's problem, a new hope emerges in the unlikeliest form - a young orphan girl. *** Cyberpunk, dystopian, technology, future, futurism, scifi, heroine, prodigy...
