[NOTICE: Major rewriting of story from Chapter one. Sorry for the sudden changes, but I want to make this story as good as I possibly can]
[Mature descriptions, gore, themes of war, and political conspiracy, read at viewer discretion]

The year is 2059, the world is still recovering from the chaos that is The 2nd American Civil war. Great Britain proclaimed hard Brexit, invaded and annexed Ireland. Russia proclaimed ownership of both Crimea and Chechnya. Hong Kong is in ruins, as China doubled downed on military occupation. Paris is a boulevard of guerrilla warfare, as Yellow Vests demands a government change. Germany succumbed to Russian oil embargoes, trading black gold with allowance for full warfare in Syria. Palestine and Israel is still the same as it was in 1960s, just skirmishes between the two rivals. 

Because of the massive war effort the supposed 'Allies' brought, technology rapidly advances yet again. Cybernetics keep disabled soldiers fighting. Machine learning allowed environmental recognition. Nuclear power allowed naval railguns to be viable, and used extensively as high-priority missile interceptors, thus rendering ICBMs useless. Exoskeletal suits, though still in early development, allowed a single personnel to carry and fire 40mm and up AA guns, acting as an extremely long range sniper, if bombing was out of the question. War kickstarted fusion research, as trillions upon trillions are funneled into the project. The result is a semi-profitable energy source from deuterium and the extremely rare helium-3 in a helical stellarator reactor, projects about returning to the moon a third time has been proposed. 

In this story, we follow Natalya Nevinnaya, an ex-SAS sniper living off military benefits and 'retirement' as she attempts to deal with the deaths of her teammates, using alcohol, anime and violence as coping mechanisms.

War for Change by Colby101001

Humanity used to thrive in 2035 until a group of scientists started playing God. This science team was recruited by all the top world leaders and they've begun receiving demands for a super soldier, and they began experimenting on animals, which gave the scientists expected results, but like all experiments, there was a chance for failure. The humanoid animals, or Anthros for short, started getting smarter, faster than the scientists expected, or reacted. The Anthros broke free and took what was left of the 'White Mist,' the substance that created them, and put it into the planet's air supply. Long story short, most animals worldwide have begun transforming into Anthros, and started devastating the world's militaries before attacking cities. Humanity is now facing extinction with their last millions while the Anthro civilization is over 2 Billion strong and counting. The war between Humans and Anthros has lasted for over 50 years, and while humans may be disadvantaged against the Anthros higher strength, speed, endurance, and intelligence, they still beat Anthros with improvisation, adaptability, and tactics. The war has destroyed all four Eastern continents, leaving behind a creature both Humans and Anthros call Reapers, who are husks of the person they were. The Anthros have near complete control over North America and are fighting Humanity in South America, but the main human bases are located on the Hawaiian islands. With death seeming inevitable for human kind, can nothing stop humanity from extinction? Zero has just graduated from high school with good marks and a scholarship. His family wanted to celebrate, so they said they would wait for him. He went back to grab his wallet, and as he turned around, he started falling in a wormhole, closing afterwards. (This is my first story, and the art seen does not belong to me.) (Book 1 of War series)

Universal Warfare by Time-s-Alchemist

Hi there, I'm JD, a 31-year-old Venezuelan-Spanish Economist living in Barcelona with my Russian (pro-peace) wife Anna and our two kittens; we met in Italy eight years ago, and almost since then we have been working on this project. During our careers we've worked with people from South America to Japan, from Australia to Canada, from South Africa to Norway, the characters in the novel are based on people I was lucky enough to meet along the way who left me with invaluable lessons which we feel the duty and privilege of sharing with our fellow humans, hopefully sharing what cosmologists call "Space Bias". There are seven main protagonists each one with their own chapter - which can be read in whichever order you prefer, - two of them in present tense and the rest in past, it's all part of the story. They all have mixed backgrounds such as a Japanese father and a Taiwanese mother, a survivor of the Rwanda massacre, a Colombian with Lebanese and Portuguese ancestry, a Danish whose mother is German, a Jewish lady married to a Muslim man she met in Jerusalem, an Anglo-Indian guy inspired in a way in Orwell - character name is Arthur such as Orwell's real name, - and last but definitely not least a Turkish Muslim bisexual woman for which a Lebanese friend for work is providing help; my friend is working on her Ph.D. on gender inequality in politics, especially in countries with religious civil wars that have moved from the streets to parliament. The story's Universe - 7 trillion light-years, approximately 78 times the size of our observable universe and 252 times the size of a Hubble sphere - provides more than enough civilizations to present dystopias that can serve as warnings for the future - ideally in the style of 1984, A Brave New World, or Fahrenheit 451, - as well as utopias where we find A.E.I - Artificial Emotional Intelligence - along with futuristic ways of understanding childhood, education, and life itself.

Em by ytwritey

Em is a young graduate with a troubled past and an even more troubled future. After finishing university she has just started her career at GCHQ, Britain's answer to the NSA. She soon finds herself involved with an investigation into a major threat against London and the Internet itself. Unprepared, and under huge pressure to catch unknown terrorists, Em starts to doubt whether she's cut out for secret government work. Things go from bad to worse when the terrorists realise she's close to uncovering their plans, and she's confronted with a nightmare from a past life she thought she'd forgotten. ***This is a cyber/techno mystery thriller with a touch of fanfic something else too. It covers a little about analysing data, neural networks, super computers and low-tech cyber terrorism.*** Also, it's my first attempt at writing a book. There's going to be about 30 chapters and 80k words of this, and I'll be adding new chapters to Wattpad as soon as they're "ready". By this I mean readable, but not perfect. Any comments and thoughts are welcomed. Any guesses about exactly why this is part fanfiction are welcome too!

I Don't Hate You. (1945 - Present) by CalypsoClives

From the first nuclear weapon that's been unleashed upon the city of Hiroshima, to fifty years of the Cold War, now the affairs of the 21st century. He became a global superpower, even through constant conflict. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ⚠️‼️: THIS BOOK IS BASED OFF REAL HISTORICAL FACTS AND POLITICS. This story may never be completed as long as I'm alive, so if it stops for like four months I'm probably dead 👍 A heavy procrastinator as well 👈👈 (If under hiatus I would say) Written by an Asian minor who is completely obsessed with history (specifically the USA's), geopolitics, and (fortunately or unfortunately) countryhumans, so I decided to mix them together. This would be more as political fantasy (because of countryhumans) book than drama focused. BUT there will be chapters focusing on countryhumans' lives specifically!

Drawn To The Light | Moth Girls x Male Reader by OstaruEmpire

Over 2,000 years have passed on since the nuclear war in [Redacted]. Humanity has managed to slowly rebuild by partially repeating history. Kingdoms and Empires have been brought back into society The year is now [NW 40XX] 30 years ago within this time period there was a world war between humanity and an anthropomorphic insectoid species known as the Mōtharians (Mo-thair-re-ans). After excessive losses the Lepidopteran Confederacy declared to surrender to ensure no more lives could be taken between both sides, but humanity had other plans. Within the North Eastern region of Europe an Empire known as The United Imperial Settlements of Europe (U.I.S.E.) had seen there is merit to this victory for the human race. Within the regions of Spain, Italy, Greece, and the Northern African regions a democratic country known as The S.E.N.A. Republic (Southern European and North African) or SENAR for short shares the same hatred for the Mōtharian race but instead of enslavement the majority of the people demand for them to be butchered. Left and Right Mōtharian homes were being pillaged. Men, women, and children were being taken away to unknown territories. Tribes were being torn apart, the future life for the Mōtharian race was to live in endless chaos or slavery... Mōtharians though they look similar to humans are looked down upon. Some are abused, racially stereotyped, attacked in public, or killed without any reason and even if they're population can grow quicker than ours people still take it for granted. Some would think it would be crazy if a human ever loved a Mōtharian after the war... Well that will definitely be the change of a life time, won't it? [I noticed the SCP story is leaning more into action adventure and not a whole lot of lemons, so to those who want a cozy novel with funny shenanigans and *ahem* "adult content" in a harem-- here you go! 😊]

The Law and the Codas by Eraithess

The government every year tasks its elite soldiers to participate in a nation-wide Cull. Hundreds of children are taken from homes and put into one of four Facilities. While most of them will be offered comfortable lives in the forms of low-ranking militia commandos and government jobs, a few will be groomed to be the successors for the highest office the government has to offer: The Law. To ensure that they would be able to keep ruling the world, The Law started implanting chips into all its citizens. These chips called DEC, as Contained electrical current, it's an electronic chip that looks like a silver dot, these chips allowing The Law and any actual law enforcement to be able to track everyone. And it would help to keep everyone in line and stomp out any pesky notions before they manifested into something bigger, something dangerous. Shirley is known in the Facility as Ten, alongside six others, they have spent years enduring confinement and rigorous testing in order to secure a future as head of the Law. When a group calls themselves the codas breaks into the Facility and kidnaps Ten and the others, she's forced to re-examine her future plans. In the year 2050, post-apocalyptic world, a lone girl must choose between becoming the next-in-line to head a corrupt government or siding with those who wish to see the world a better place. Order and lies, or truth and freedom? Whatever she chooses, one thing is clear: both sides bleed. Shirley should decide if the future she'd been promised since childhood is worth the lies it's built upon. Will Shirley choose the future that's been decided for her, or will she make out one all her own, even if that path leads to her destruction?

His Prize by google1021

Nina is captured by parbeing man. He plans to turn her into his pet. He knows she won't go down without a fight, but he's not prepared for how much 'fight' she has packed in her small body. His new pet leaks into every area of his life, changing things in ways he could never have imagined. Parbeings are the new and improved apex predators of Earth. Created from gene editing, they are the perfect humans, so perfect that they are no longer even considered human. *** Content Warning: The protagonist of this story is a victim of abuse. I do not condone the actions of the antagonist *** Chapter 1 extract: "Hey Alex. Get over here. I've got something for you," he calls into his collar radio. I reach the end of the alley and turn to face my foe once again, but he remains where he is, still blocking my path but not approaching either. New plan: when he gets close, duck under his arms and make a run for it. Now I just have to wait. Before a minute has even passed, another armoured soldier appears and joins the first. This just keeps getting worse. How am I supposed to dodge past two of them? "What do you want now?" the new soldier grumbles. This one must be Alex. "Look at this cute little human I found. She's feisty. I think she's perfect for you." I glare at them. "I don't want a pet human. That's your disgusting fetish, and I'll have no part in it." "Oh come on Captain," the first soldier whines, "You don't have to fuck her, just train her to be obedient. Surely you can control one measly wild human? You are a captain after all. When you're done, you can just get rid of her, like I do with my humans." What the fuck? For a brief moment my fear is replaced by anger. Who do they think they are, talking about me like I'm some kind of wild animal? "Get the fuck away from me! You freaks!" I screech. The first soldier just flashes an evil grin. They don't budge. "Are you just going to let her talk to you like that?" he goads Alex. (Complete. 70k words.)

The Hawaiian Special Forces by WingedPanther73

This is the story I'm writing for NaNoWriMo 2015. The goal: 50,000 word RAW draft written entirely in the month of November. Unlike most of my stories, which I prefer to edit before posting, I'm actually going to post updates to this at the end of each day in chapter-sized chunks. The idea behind this story is that a terrorist attack in the near future causes the US to go hyper-isolationist, to the point that it abandons Hawaii and Alaska to fend for themselves. They do, forming the United Pacific States (maybe with a few other island countries). Hawaii then goes on to turn itself into the new world police with stealthy, genetically modified cyber-soldiers. I'm marking this story as mature because there will be action scenes, and probably some interesting perspectives on nudity and relationships. I'm not planning on anything explicit, but this won't be a kids book. Validated winner at 50,040 words!
