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?All Rights Reserved

L.O.V.E. by denissebloom04

100 years ago, amidst WW3's nuclear bombing, a deadly virus was released in the atmosphere and nearly wiping out the humanity. It lives inside the human brain thriving on the empathy receptors, leading to irrational behaviour and ultimately brain death. To slow the damage, scientists created L.O.V.E, short for Living Off Vital Emotions, a nanovaccine that numbs the virus and switches off all strong emotions. As a last resort and with a dying planet, the Supreme Government created the City, a place to contain the infected survivors suitable for the experiment. Those in the first stages of illness became ideal candidates to receive the neuroinhibitor. Having their feelings restrained and their memory altered, those who come of age are designated a life partner through a Selection process, thus preserving the humankind. A few decades after the trial had started, scientists had a major breakthrough. The nanites, which are highly chemically reactive organisms, are changing their bio-engineered purpose when dopamine levels are high. With a new generation of nanoids, stronger and smarter to fight the battle, the virus doesn't have a chance. Many attempts were made to create a man-made version of synthetic dopamine and each time the outcome was a disaster. Their goal is to create new generations, immune to the virus. These are called Purebloods, the offsprings of those who find pure love, the only cure to save them from a violent death. Running out of time, the Experiment entered in its final stages. To minimize the threats, the Colonies have sent their best soldiers to oversee the trial and protect its key subjects. If only things were going according to plan, or better...stay hidden. With Iron Guard, the resistance outside the walls, hunting the Purebloods too, will the trial save human race before it's too late? #3 in #dystopianfuture (27.06.2020)

Gaslight Trials | The Wattys2023 Shortlister ✔️ by EvelynHail

| 𝟳𝘅 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗗 ·|| HUNGER GAMES x CINDER || ONC 2023 Honorable Mention Amidst the escalating unrest between the windborne utopian city of Lighthaven and its seedy, oppressed underbelly Fumedge, the Grand Duke of Lighthaven, Lucius Sextus, comes up with an ingenious solution. To provide much-wanted respite from the brewing conflict, and achieve the apparent-if-temporary unity, he organizes Gaslight Trials - a highly entertaining panem-et-circenses combat event in the Pits. The combatants may use all steam and thaumaturgy powered augmentations at their disposal, and there is only one rule: defeat, or be defeated. The reward for the last one standing? A chance to start their life anew. A brass key to the city of Lighthaven with a luxurious mansion to call their own within, as well as an aeroship to command. When eighteen-year-old Veda Igglesden steps forward to take her timeworn adoptive father's place in the fight, she might as well be signing her death-sentence. With her eyes fully set on the prize, act-first-think-later Veda must harness the power of technology to try and win for her Papa Otto. Decades of breathing in the toxic air of Fumedge did a number on the old inventor's lungs, and being able to live in the air-filtered Lighthaven would sure come in handy right about now. A high-flying adventure full of gadgetry and intrigue; a pleasing blend of steampunk and postapocalyptic. See Veda unravel the mysterious ploy behind the game's organization, and uncover the truth about her secret origins. Can she cope both with the trials of physical and intellectual prowess, as well as with the trials of life itself: those of love, loss and regret? © 2023 EvelynHail Exclusively on Wattpad Based on prompt 49! Which is (I shan't leave ye hanging :P): "Master the rules of the game until you can play it better than they can." Michael Scott, "The Sorceress" Get ready for steampunkish tinkering,

Twisted Saga ReGenesis (Book 3 of 3) by Jason_BlayneWV1983

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.
