dystopian-future exodus genetic-engineering identity-crisis powers resistance romance singularity soldier survival teenager teenagers transhuman violence

On a dying and divided planet Earth, in a time when mankind's only hope of survival lies on a new planet halfway across the galaxy, the ruthless, bicentennial autocrat, President Yuki Xi Wang, is reincarnated into a young, genetically-engineered body one year after her death.

A body that was stolen by a dangerous terrorist organization and which, for a short time, developed a mind of its own.

A body that learned to fight for survival, identity and... for love.

When President Xi Wang discovers that her body's latent memories might hold the clue to finding and eliminating the terrorist leader, she leaves the safety of her floating city and embarks upon a quest of discovery.

But as her journey progresses she begins to question her priorities. Which is more important, saving the Exodus, the project she has nurtured for a hundred years, or saving the man with whom the body she occupies fell in love?All Rights Reserved

[1] Apocalypse: Third Rebirth by Devilbesideyou1320

What would you do when four men come into your life and completely turn it upside down?... All I wanted to do was hide away on my ranch with no one to bother me, but apparently, they had different plans. Luckily for them, this was not my first zombie apocalypse. If they learn to listen, we might just get out of this with our lives. If not, maybe I would finally be able to rest in peace. Li Dai Lu was born and raised Canadian in her first life. This meant that she was taught how to share, how to put others first and to keep the peace as much as she could. However, that all backfired in a spectacular way. Reborn in a new time and place, Li Dai Lu did her best to protect all those that she could from the zombies that were wiping out the human race. Unfortunately for her, those she rescued were not as grateful as they should have been. Killed by the very people she saved, she held her breath and waited for the calm, peacefulness of death. But the Fates were not too accommodating and our heroine woke up in her third life, a year before the zombie apocalypse. This time she would live life on her own terms, and to those that disagreed... well, she would have a few words for them. With four men at her side, she will shed the cloak of civility and become who she was truly meant to be. WARNING!!! This will turn into a reverse harem where she does not have to pick.

𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐄𝐃 by lite-lemonade

Since the dawn of time, humanity has been divided over various subjects. All of which are frankly, incredibly trivial. This being, but is not limited to race, religion, beauty, size, wealth, politics, and more. The heavy amounts of bickering and debating over these subjects, going as far as starting wars and in-fighting within families, even breaking some apart. This is further proven by the sudden appearance of enhanced individuals nicknamed "Blights," which single-handedly explains the general consensus about them. Hated and oppressed, Blights have had their backs against the wall for decades. Teenager Liam Wang must learn how to juggle both his civilian life and the life of his super-powered, crime-fighting persona "Narukami" and all that comes with it. Oh, and also a super-powered serial killer running around the city, murdering whoever they see fit. Yeah, he's probably screwed.

Once Again by DragonSwirl

"It's human nature. It's instinct to survive, no matter the cost." The world has fallen into desolation. The apocalypse has already started and finished, leaving some of the surviving ones with strange powers and mysterious scars. The world has ended, according to some, and is now in a state of rebirth. Others say it hasn't ended yet and that it's only going to get worse. The remaining people have grouped together in packs and gangs, raiding the desolate cities and avoiding the ones called the Destroyers, who capture and torture the remaining survivors. No one is safe. One fifteen year old boy knows this better than anyone. He and his older sister lived together, sticking to the dark alleys of their abandoned city, and survived for years after the apocalypse, until the Destroyers came and took her away, reigning terror on the few who remained in the city. The boy, desperate to find someone to help him save his sister, leaves the city and finds one of the youngest cooperative packs in North America, called the Raiders, comprised of unwanted individuals with the strange powers left from the destruction of years past. Their leader, a destructive insomniac, promises to help him in return for the skills and usefulness this young boy seems to possess, but something disrupting sends waves of unease through the Raiders, something about a forgotten past and talk of a mutiny. "Maybe there's more to life than just surviving." ... Rated C for Caution. Though it's rated mature, there is no bad language or vivid descriptions of sexual contact. It does have very strong themes. Please read the two important notices in the intro. Read at your own risk. Thanks.

The Balance (Sample Chapters from the Book and a New Appendix to the story) by MichaelSelden

People in the Land survived the destruction of the last world war only to have their lives disrupted again by a wayward asteroid that broke up to rain down on the planet, just as life had begun to regain a sense of normalcy. This second tragedy also disturbed the power-sharing arrangement between two leading factions that had helped rebuild the Land-the Council, and the Order-in an agreement called The Balance. The Council leadership exploited the chaos to drive the Order and its members into exile, ad they began banning the use of most modern technology, which the Council had long blamed for the war. Phoebe is the last remaining product of the Order's genetic engineering programs that still lives under Council rule. She doesn't understand why she's so different from everyone else, and struggles to survive, hiding what she is. The exiled Order members have realized she's in danger, and their leader sees a potential in her that could help them regain their place in society, and to re-establish The Balance. The Balance is Part 1 of a planned 3-part Story. The Balance was published in 2015 and is available in Hardcover, Paperback, and Kindle Editions

The Fate of Fractured Lives by VHdez01

Sarah remembers being reborn with amazing gifts. She knows why people were gifted their fantastic powers. She knows why women with powers were fewer and why their abilities were stronger. Sarah remembers how it all started. But she doesn't know why she has other people's memories. Reality had cracked. With her found family, Sarah tried to stop an enemy unbound by time and save a girl from becoming something dark and sinister. All the while she was keeping darkness from taking over her own body. Fate was against them and failure meant the end of the world and possibly the unraveling of reality itself. Were these things destined to happen or was there a plan even their enemy could not see? Sarah didn't know if this was the end of her life or just the beginning of the next one. The Fate of Fractured Lives Book One of the Anomalies Saga Chapters will be posted every week.
