The world is dominated by a single corporate entity. The human race is enslaved in a tightly monitored and controlled environment, with no reasonable expectation for redemption from the situation. Fortunately, redemption comes in many shapes and sizes, and usually from places unexpected.

River is born in a company birthing lab. He is placed in a small room shortly thereafter to live in a virtual world of the company's making. The effects of living in this artificial environment are devastating. He suffers from severe mental illness, and eventually lands on the wrong side of a cost benefit analysis. He is exiled to an island where the company deposits and washes its hands of undesirable employees.

He finds himself struggling to survive in an unfamiliar world filled with dangers and inconvenience. As his mental health improves, he discovers that his life of hardship and humiliation has prepared him for a role he never imagined playing.All Rights Reserved

I Really Do Love you by Patronus2022

A long time ago, I was once in a relationship with the love of my life. Or so I thought. I moved away and years later I took a job, back there. Back in my hometown, but I had no other choice, I really needed the money. Once I'm there I realize that not only is he still there, but now he is technically my boss. As hurt as I am I know I have no other choice and decide to try to bury my feelings. I don't know if I can, but I need to at least try. I can't afford to fall in love with him again but there is a problem. Will he be too hard to resist? This is a MM romance; this was my first time writing this type of book. This is quite a short story and is a standalone; I really hope you enjoy! Trigger Warnings: Vivid rough sex scenes, minor mind games, and also can be a roller coaster of emotions for some sensitive readers, coming out, and cheating. This cover is a placeholder and will change.

His Last Song- "Ji'de Tas Anse" by DianDianSian

A world once run by humans is now a cold, barren, and toxic wasteland filled with vicious, mutant, and flesh-eating animals; as a result of an unpredicted showering of meteors. The world population is unknown due to the complete shutdown of the media, but the number of inhabitants of the once populous African island, Hardane, has fallen to a number near zero. Two people, a famous Korean singer and a Japanese-African emerging artist, meet by chance as they embark on their separate journeys to traverse their new world. Song Byeong-ho starts his journey with the notion of finding somewhere calm to spend his last days, while Itsuki Uta-ﻃَﺎﺋِﺮ (taa'ir) starts his journey with the notion of finding his lost grandparents. Due to his somber past, Song is skeptical of Itsuki at first; but as their journeys progress, the new demands and horrors of their world pushes them closer. As Song and Itsuki traverse their new world together, they race against death and time. (This is a story of loss and finding a bit more than friendly love in the darkest of places.) - - Heads up! This book deals with parental neglect, parental trauma, mild system fake claiming, mentions of suicide, and much more. This book also dives into plurality; which is the experience of having multiple beings in one body. DID, OSDD, and a few other dissociative disorders fall under that label. DID and OSDD are formed due to intense trauma--and not what the outside perceived as intended trauma, it's what the individual(s) perceive as intense trauma. Plurality also encompasses much more than just dissociative disorders since this experience is not rare. !!Still being uploaded!!

True Magician by dbelphegor

Waking up in the body of a Romani Archiman is acceptable. Getting 3rd and 1st True Magics is nice. Getting Beasts as pets - delightful. The world of DxD is unforgivable. It's a world where some teenagers who aren't even two decades old somehow mystically defeat the descendants of legendary heroes, ancient demons, powerful dragons, etc. Why does this happen? Simply because! Simply put, this world only makes sense because it doesn't. And now, I have to put up with the fact that I live here. Such pain. (DxDxMulti)

Turing Test by chicavara

In the year 2150, emotions are a forgotten language. Feelings, outlawed. Humanity, reduced to an unfeeling, cold existence under the iron rule of The Regimen. But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli. In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom. Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule. As Cora navigates the thrilling highs and devastating lows of human emotion, a choice looms - return to a life devoid of feelings, or risk everything for the rebellion and the tantalizing promise of emotional freedom. --------------- A 10 part series
