It's December 5, 3177 and all across the country young adults are adorned in dresses and suits filled with anticipation of what could be their first or last ball.

Over a century ago, a man by the name of Louie Termis came up with the concept to help further the evolution of the human species. He believed that by mating with people of the same or higher IQ, future generations would find themselves to be smarter than those of the past. After years of test and government funding, his theory was adapted into everyday life by the help of Termis Corp, an organization who have made it their mission to help create a better future by ensuring the proper mating of people based off appearance and IQ. 

Many believe this to be a beneficial part of life that will help future generations to come but for William Clarkson II, it's a death sentence. December has come and William's time is running out; this is his last ball and if he doesn't get chosen well, he'd rather not think about it. 

He has one chance to gain the attention of Emilia Thurgood, daughter of Edward Thurgood a well known and established scientist or his time is up and but the odds stacked against him,  could this be the end?

No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series. New chapters will be posted on Fridays for as long as it takes to tell the whole story. For Wattpad only, chapters are split up by individual scenes-if you would prefer the whole chapters in single pieces, please visit my homepage or another site where I post this story, thanks!

Twisted Saga ReGenesis (Book 3 of 3) by Jason_BlayneWV1983
22 parts Complete Mature
Warning to Readers: This story contains scenes with graphic material unsuitable for some readers and anyone under the age of 18. Please beware there are scenes with violence and sexual content some readers may not be comfortable reading. What is a ReGenesis? Is it a "do-over"? Is it the ability to correct a mistake, or does it mean entirely starting over? Could it mean a divine intervention? Maybe it's a little of it all, but whatever it is might not be able to fix the burdens and mistakes off long ago when it comes to Josh, James, & Justin. Errors and events left unsettled have come home to roust with one final battle to determine the outcome, but this time the price might be too much to handle. Can the trio overcome the odds once & for all? Are they doomed to settle debts with their lives? How will their epic journey end & how will a ReGenesis occur in the end to create a brand new beginning? When Josh and Justin worked in the underworld of a chop-shop a mysterious figure returns to exact their revenge. All of their hard work is about to be undone, and a powerful and dangerous person takes control with everyone's lives hanging in the balance. This time not everyone comes home in a manner of speaking. Things change, and the mind is a treacherous friend when they all realize what happened and how the Troublesome Trio came back from the brink of disaster in such a way that can only be described as ReGenesis, or more commonly known as that rare thing called a second chance, at life.

I quickly turned away from him, to get the hell out of the room. But he caught my arm and pulled me back into his chest. Shit. Fuck. He buried his face in my hair, arms enclosing around me and whispered into my ear, ❝I thought things between us were getting better, is this how your gonna lie and ruin it?❞ I could feel him smiling against my ears, his fingers gently raking through my hair. I didn't reply. This is exactly the situation I didn't wanna get into, cause I know I melt when he says shit like that. ❝You gonna give up resisting me now?❞ His lips barely touching my ears. My heart skipped a beat as he tightened his hold on me. ♡♥♡♥♡♥♡ SAMANTHA ROSS Beautiful. Smart. Successful. Kind. Stubborn. That's who she was. But life challenges everyone at some point, right?

---------------- The world is traumatizing. I live on the verge of near death, with machines built to exterminate humans patrolling every single broken block of asphalt in Boston. Until it ends. And like most men say, everything has to do with women. Well, in my case, a girl. A girl of sixteen years of age, like me, who has nothing to do with me or anything with my world, at least until I was told that. But even then, I was drawn to her. And she was drawn to me. ---------------- Traversing through the realms of movies and books to find the Zodiac Cure, a universal generator built of impossibly hard to find objects to fix all worlds of all dimensions, the daughter of the ruler of the Interworld and the son of nobody actually existent find themselves growing closer to each other in a way never felt before as they achieve the impossible, learn that love is not just a term for simple human relationships, and meet and befriend unusual people and creatures from simple human-told stories. --------- Claire Riley is only her character name. I don't have a name. We both have the same purpose: save all worlds. We both have the same motto. Run. Fight. Recover. Repeat. --------- Credits: JRR Tolkien, George Lucas, Marvel, DC, Bruce Geller, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Veronica Roth, Suzanne Collins, JK Rowling, The Wachowskis, CS Lewis, Christopher Paolini
