ARENA 2088 - THE IMPACT (first book of the Trilogy)
What if the greatest football players of all time never faded into history-but were reborn as AI-powered clones, competing in a World Cup like no other? Samuel Arena was the last great Italian football player-a two-time Ballon d'Or winner, a Sicilian icon, and a voice of his generation. But on May 24, 2016, he vanishes in a mysterious eruption on Mount Etna... only to wake up in 2088. In this future, football as he knew it is extinct. The sport is now ruled by the Legendominus-cybernetic clones of history's most legendary players, engineered for flawless performance. Without an identity in a world that no longer values human athletes, Samuel is given one impossible mission: infiltrate the Legendominus World Cup, lead Italy's cyber-team to victory, and secure the resources to return to his time. To succeed, he must outthink AI-enhanced versions of Pelé, Maradona, and Messi, all while uncovering the dark truth behind the tournament's corporate overlords. But if perfection has replaced humanity, what future is left for him?

Now they are hunting him for answers he doesn't have and he must decide if life without love has any meaning at all. ********** A finalist in the Open Novella Contest ********** Highest rank #271 in Science Fiction ********** Started on 11/18/17, completed on 1/31/18Complete

Static Crush {M/M} ✔
WATTY 2019 WINNER Hale, a state of the art android, can do nearly anything a human can. He cooks meals, cleans and organizes the house, repairs broken appliances, and runs errands. He can even provide for the more carnal needs of his owner. None of these tasks should present any challenge for Hale, and they don't-until he meets his next door neighbour, Rayner. Rayner seems like an unassuming gardener, but he asks Hale a lot of questions. Does Hale wish he could smell or taste food? What would he look like if his appearance hadn't been chosen for him? From the moment they meet, Hale runs into errors in otherwise simple tasks. He experiences bizarre sensations that none of his diagnostic tools can explain, and struggles to appease the people in his owner's social circle. As the errors in his programming begin to wear on his owner's patience, Hale faces the most difficult decision yet. If he can't evolve to meet her needs, he'll be returned and recycled into parts for future androids. If he does evolve, is he still just an android? Or something more? In all this, Rayner is the only man who can help him, and Rayner only has one question left for Hale. What does he want? Hale wasn't designed to want anything, but perhaps he can find the answer in the man with all the questions.
