Dawson Nightingale, a 16 year old trying out the new and insanely-popular Virtual MMORPG ShineCrail Online, will come to learn that not only is the game a source of fun and entertainment, but also serves as a torture device and death trap when the creator traps the players in the Virtual Reality, with the only ways out being death in the game (which spells death in real life), or completing the game by defeating the final boss. 

But is there more to this torture device of a game than Dawson is aware of?

In a series of unfortunate events, Dawson is thrown into a fight against a corrupt terrorist organization that hopes to use the game's software to achieve a global takeover of all V-Gear users, and must work with unlikely allies if he is to succeed. 

Playing the game was just the first step. Now Dawson must persevere to save two worlds.

Unintended Rebirth: From Goblin to God by Nagpochenpo
34 parts Ongoing Mature
[Simulation + Dark + Non-Human + No Female Protagonist] Once an ordinary human, Oliver awakens in a dark world as the lowest and weakest monster: a goblin. Immediately, he falls victim to human adventurers and is ruthlessly killed. But death is not the end for him. With his demise, he activates the Life Simulation System, an ability that allows him to replay and manipulate his life's events, learning from each failure to make better decisions. Moreover, as a goblin, he receives the rare divine blessing bestowed only on his kind, offering him opportunities to evolve into powerful forms. Through constant trial and error, Oliver begins to reshape his destiny. Every simulation brings new knowledge, whether in strategic battles, devouring powerful creatures to absorb their strength, or evolving into advanced goblin types. From his humble beginnings, Oliver relentlessly ascends, using his cunning and the system to outsmart enemies and grow stronger with each iteration. As Oliver evolves into fearsome forms-first a Goblin Warrior, then higher-tier beings-his ambition becomes clear: to conquer the world that once sought to exterminate him. Along the way, once-invincible entities, such as the revered Sword Saintess, the Mother of Dragons, and even angelic deities who once looked down on goblins, find themselves bowing before him. With no female lead or conventional protagonist, this dark, non-human narrative explores Oliver's rise from obscurity and his quest to become a figure of ultimate power in a brutal, unforgiving world, defying all odds and expectations.

At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)
Chip & Pin, Pandora (book 1 of 5) by MikeBacon70
1 part Complete Mature
Pandora Wallace, along with her twin Adam, is born into the iniquitous British society of 2035. This story follows the first 18 years of Pandora's blighted life. In 2015 the British government start micro-chipping babies, at birth, and then spend 14 years also chipping all of the adult population. In 2030 they abolish cash completely and all transactions have to be carried out via a human's on-board chip. This microchip is inserted into the heart wall of all acceptably healthy babies at the moment of their birth; the heart muscles powers the chip by recharging the battery. A second microdot 'PIN' is inserted at a random point in the baby's body. Should this 'PIN' become separated from the heart chip by any distance it causes the heart microchip to explode. The government is able to electronically disable or suspend the operation of anyone's chip at their whim, leaving the owner reliant upon the charity of others, or dead. Pandora is born with a minor gene defect which precludes her from being 'chipped'. Following a family crisis, at 14 years old, she is forced out on the streets to join the vast numbers of 'non-chips' who have to rely upon charity and slave labour to survive, not being allowed to work legally or earn money. Pandora finally goes to work for the underworld, determined to claw her way to the top and acquire an illegal microchip. She becomes a messenger at first and then her virginity is auctioned off by her boss. She becomes a high-class prostitute, a bodyguard and tangles with both a psychopathic killer and a government department determined to kill her and her boss. Books 2, 3, 4 & 5r continue to tell Pandora's story, together with that of the ill-conceived Chip & PIN system.
The Gentle Giant  by Midnighthunger
51 parts Complete Mature
I look down at the frail frame of the girl. I unlatched her cage and nudged her with my foot. It seems cruel, but the other trainers would have done much worse to see her ignoring their commands to rise. "Wake up, you're being moved," I say to her, crouching down and shaking her. She lies unmoving and a heaviness settles in my chest. I move her hair from her face and press my fingers to her neck, trying to find a pulse. I purse my lips, feeling the faint beating of her weak heart. I look at the girl, watching her struggle to push air in and out of her lungs. I can tell she is sick. Do I put her in the truck with the others, or take her to the doctor? The truth is, nothing good awaits her in the truck. The only question is if it is crueler to go put her with the others, unconscious and barely holding on, or to take her to the doctor. I feel sick just thinking about it. She either dies here, or will wish she would have. I can't turn a blind eye to her though, I can't stand and watch as the life leaves her. Perhaps she will be thankful for me saving her life. ---- Hazel. She's a pretty little thing, far too precious and fragile for the life she was born into. Having lived most of her life in a training facility, she knows little of the beauty of the world or the people in it. A punishment gone bad, forever mares her, leaving her crippled, undesirable. Axel. He's an average man with an abnormal size. Being a Trainer, he is expected to be cold and cruel, someone he is not. It pays him money though, so perhaps living up to that expectation isn't that bad? When confronted with a choice he finally has to choose who he wants to be. Will he live up to others expectations? Or will he choose what may not be easiest, but what is right?
The Tattoo | Maze Runner | Gally x Reader by CrankThatWICKEDWolf
47 parts Complete Mature
SERIES DISCONTINUED :C I wanted to write a Gally x reader story because Gally gets a lot of hate sometimes and he's underrated :/ Some of this will be my own little AU of what I believe are the sexualities of the characters, gender identities, including my own characters with LGTBQIA+ aspects, including some characters who survive. This is my story, and I hope you enjoy it :) ----------------------------------------------- RELATIONSHIP TYPE: Enemies To Lovers ----------------------------------------------- CHARACTER IMPERFECTION: God Complex ----------------------------------------------- "Hey, Gal!" You chirp, spinning on your heel. "Hey, that was cool." His eyebrows raise in slight surprise, now letting reality sink in that you are actually his girl. And this is what he has to deal with. "Wow, you really are hyper today." "You said it!" You grin. You feel so much energy going through you after good nights of sleep, well. Goodnights as best as you can get. "Here, take this." He hands you something and you start turning it in your hand almost immediately after receiving it. Looking down at it curiously to see some sort of wooden turn. It's kind of like the door handles, or a rower for a fishing rod. Except it's only the handle for a fishing rod. No rod or line. So it's basically just a fidgety piece of wood. You start turning both sides, spinning it around in your hand. "Easy there." Gally chuckles. He steps closer to you, rubbing his arm up and down your back to soothe you. "You doing okay?" "Yep." You chirp, grinning up at him. He double-checks your expression. His eye staring into yours to see how you're feeling. When he's sure you're not too stressed out, he removes his arm from you and throws a rag over his shoulder. "Okay, stick by me. Ya hyper little bunny..." I obviously do not own Maze Runner or the characters, that belongs to James Dashner :) Start Date: 13/08/21 End Date: 11/09/21
