Gunnar lives in a dystopian society where entertainment is strictly censored so as not to offend anyone. During the day he works for a soul sucking bureaucracy but at night he engages in illegal matches of black market games on the darkweb where he earns a name for himself as a ruthless competitor with fiendish reflexes. He cares about little in meatspace until his on-again-off-again girlfriend breaks the news - they're pregnant. There is no time to celebrate however, as the State strictly regulates family planning and the baby would be designated genetically redundant. In order to save the life of his unborn child and become the man his new family needs him to be the protagonist will enlist in an underground gaming tournament where the spoils of victory are substantial and the price of failure is death.

Project HALO
PROJECT HALO is a YA sci-fi thriller taking place in near-future Norway. It has speculative elements and will appeal to fans of dystopian works such as DIVERGENT, THE MAZE RUNNER, LEGEND, and BLACK MIRROR. All seventeen-year-old Charlie Walker wants is to be free of his father's stupid expectations. Stay in school? No thanks. Get a job? Nope. Stop cursing? Hell no. But if he knew his petty rebellion would result in his own kidnapping, he might've reconsidered. When Charlie wakes up at Norway's largest intelligence agency, the NIC, with a biochip in his brain, he faces problems bigger than his father's disapproval. Charlie is their first successful experiment, and when activated, the chip will give the agency unbarred access to his vital signs and location. So much for freedom. But before his biochip can be activated, a rogue doctor offers Charlie a chance to escape. In return, he has to find and keep a flash drive hidden from the NIC. At first, agreeing to the deal seems obvious. But when NIC sends agents to hunt Charlie down, he realizes the flash drive might be more important than he thought. He's faced with an ultimatum: hand over the flash drive, or a lethal virus will be released onto the population. If he obliges, his chip will be activated and he'll lose his freedom forever. If he doesn't, people will die-including his ex-friend-who-he-totally-still-hates. Including the charming hacker he has a crush on. Including his demanding father. Including himself. In a race against time and his own selfish thoughts, Charlie must decide who to trust with his deadly secret-and exactly how far he's willing to go in the name of freedom. - - - Trigger warnings: Death and dying, blood, swearing, syringes/needles, hospitals, alcoholism, anger issues, nightmares, kidnapping, being drugged against one's will, suicide mention, terrorism/terror attacks, guns/weapons.Completa

[Fantasy Isekai Simulator VR Book 1] Cover Art by the fantastic Harley - @harleysart on tumblr (https://www.tumblr.com/harleysart) Updates Tuesday/Friday Trigger warnings: Violence, Abuse, Implied rape. **I am a little uncertain about the etiquette around maturity rating/trigger warnings on Wattpad. The story starts of relatively benign but gets a little dark in places, particularly after chapter 28, however there is no actual smut, just heavily implied. I may be overstating it, but I'd rather overrate than underrate. If I should change or add to the warnings/rating in any way, please let me know.Completa
SIN
"I've stitched up bodies, broken hearts, and shattered souls. But how do I fix a life when I've become the mess I'm trying to escape?" -Sin One moment, I was a 63-year-old doctor, the next-a 14-year-old freak, trapped in a body that isn't mine. A mistake. An anomaly. A secret worth killing for. The people in power want to own me, dissect me, erase me before anyone else discovers what I am. But I don't give a damn about their wars, their politics, or their rules. I only care about one thing-bringing my husband back before the body farm drains the last flicker of his mind.

The Electric Archipelago (WIP)
This is the first draft of my new cyberpunk novel, The Electric Archipelago. In the future humanity is imprisoned by massive corporations. Computers are directly connected to their brains, creating a nightmarish state of absolute control, every action is monitored and harshly judged. Perhaps worst of all, the victim's perception of reality itself is controlled. A system of social credit hangs over everyone's heads. If you want to survive you will need to pick a company and stay loyal to that brand. But it goes beyond that, because each corporation has been infiltrated and taken over by forces that are interested in more than just profit. John is a Skinwalker, a free man, a man who is immune to these restrictions. He goes where he wants and does what he wants, moving from one augmented reality to the next, always looking for the next score.Completa
The City - PewdieCry
Nuclear warfare had finally ravaged the world, tearing all that anyone knew apart. Large cities began to fall, and any survivors took to the country side where nothing was barren and resources were plentiful.

Cryaotic leads the largest one, taking charge after his father. He faces challenges head on, and kept the peace in the city for several years. So what happens when an outsider under the alias of 'Pewdiepie' appears? Cry's interest in him grows exponentially, and he finds himself drawn to the man. Their covert meetings create a friendship, a bond, that turns into something more than Cry bargained for. All is peaceful until the pair discover a plot bigger than them both that threatens to rip the city itself in half. In the long run, Cry is forced to choose between everything Felix knows about the outside world, and everything he grew to love inside the city.Completa
