We as humans fear death.
This statement remains true in our fluctuating universe. 
No matter how you look at it, or how much you deny it, it simply is true. 
We fight and we lie and we create a fire in our hearts as we scream our biases. 

But where do we run when the fires of the past burn too bright for us to stand? The answer is anywhere. Anywhere that isn't where the problem lies. 
So when we as humans killed off our own kin slowly, it'd be only natural for them us run. So we ran. We ran and ran deep underground into the tunnels we created. 

We are many, but I am one. One that is named Nick Rosemary, and I am one of these humans that dwell deep underneath the earth. In a place very rightfully called The Retreat. 
But what if we are too clustered? What do we do when the bastion from our mistakes become a mistake itself? We run, and we don't look back. 
But where do we go when there's nowhere to run?
We kill. 
We kill the things that aren't necessary. We kill our young. I am but one of these young that is subjected to this process of running from the fears created by death. 

I am in the Extermination Exams, and I live solely to die.

WORK IN PROGRESS‼️ ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── There was no noise; I was at peace, and ironically, the stone-cold pavement never seemed warmer as my blood oozed out of me and around me like a painted canvas. I was slowly losing consciousness, but my mind never seemed happier now that I was dying. The white walls with big bright lights did not resemble heaven; in fact, it was quite the opposite. I thought I had died. When I came to, I found myself in this strange place, disoriented and confused. I looked around and found another five pairs of eyes looking at me with the same emotion swirling in their gaze. Now, 15 years later, I train with these girls. Our makers take care of us, feed us, and make sure we are clean, healthy, and fit. Some of us never had that; that's probably why it took so long for us to realize we were being used. The dirty work they made us do, none of us questioned it. How could we when we were taken off the streets? For a chance at normalcy, we settled for anything, even if that meant blurring the lines of right and wrong. After a mission gone haywire, we started noticing, and now we strike back to take our voices and reclaim the power that was used on us as a way to control us. After all, they are the ones who trained us; we are just returning our long-overdue favour. ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Rankings : Featured in Mystery-thriller #5 in Mystery-thriller on 7/12/24

[COMPLETED] •Being revised... AGAIN (Progress: Intro-Chap. 3)• "We're going back... Understand? There are more threats out here than we anticipated, and they're all after you-" Lukas' voice erupted into static and chunks... I glared at the man in all black as the light continued to beam and blind me. Without my glasses it was actually painful. And then there was silence. My bare feet hit the metal floor of wherever we had jumped to, and I put my hand up to shield my eyes from the vicious attack of bright light. Not again." Alexi Callidus is living in a post-apocalyptic world... In the 25th Century. The year is 2470. She's been surviving on her own for 4 years and 8 months inside the same building with her only companion without seeing the sun. 5 years after the brutal unexplained murder of her family. 7 years after the genetic disaster of "GASP". 7 years and 4 months after the War of Nations. Everything seems to be barren and empty... But if her super old sci-fi movies didn't teach her that looks deceive, nothing will. Technology, before "GASP" (Genetically Altered Soldiers Program) and the War of Nations, was insane. You could be teleported in the blink of an eye, or healed from a once fatal injury in days. With the majority of the population infected with a viral genetic plague, almost any of the survivors could access this technology... Including Alexi. When a simple quest for survival turns into a journey of a lifetime, will Alexi be able to survive the weight of the gruesome truth when she finally uncovers it? Will our heroine be able to fade into the background and live a quiet life of cunning? Or burst into flames in a sudden blaze of tragedy? -Callidus Rising- •This book's sequel is in progress (Curing Revolution) Highest Ranks: •#1 "secretsocieties" •#1 "armageddon" •#2 "famine" •#2 "plague" •#3 "explorer" •#4 "genetic-engineering" •#5 "artificial intelligence" Com

At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)

Five Filipino doctors, driven by a thirst for scientific advancement, formed their own company, The Umbrella Corporation. Their ambition? To conduct groundbreaking experiments on the unsuspecting residents of Quezon City, targeting a diverse range of subjects: babies, children, teenagers, parents, the elderly, and more. Years of tireless research culminated in a series of trials. The first patient, initially showing signs of remarkable progress, took a horrifying turn. They transformed into a zombie, the project's first resounding failure. Despite this setback, the doctors pressed on, driven by an unwavering conviction in their work. From Patient two to Patient six, they continued their experiments, each test pushing the boundaries of human resilience and, ultimately, sanity. Chaos erupted as Patient six managed to escape, leaving a trail of terror in their wake. In the midst of this unfolding nightmare, Patient seven, a young woman who had been in a prolonged coma, emerged. Her return was not only a testament to the human will to survive but also a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked ambition. As she confronted her own father, she made a chilling decision - to offer herself for testing by the other doctors, a choice born from an unfathomable desire for answers, regardless of the consequences. Under SPG (Strong Parental Guidance) rated 18+/new adults only can read this book. Date Start: January 6, 2023 Date End: January 31, 2023

Xylia has always teetered between madness and prophecy. For years she's dreamed events before they happen a gift that's left her paranoid, unstable, alone. In a world where consciousness is a bug and gods are algorithms with ego problems, Xylia will learn that reality isn't meant to be understood. It's meant to be rewritten. Here, divination is a sentence. And knowing the truth... is the first step to losing yourself. ✒️✦ This isn't a book. It's a gradual collapse. You won't find maps. You'll find glitches. Not heroes. Fractures. Not worldbuilding. But worlds that come apart while you watch. Xylia is a contaminated consciousness. She overthinks. She mis-feels. She fixates on details no one else sees. That doesn't make her wrong. It makes her real. If you feel lost, good. If you feel unsettled, stay. In this world, coherence is a lie. And breath... is something you learn only when it's gone. Welcome to Anoxia. The first 5 chapters in English are now up! Next batch (chapters 6-10) coming this Friday. This is an ongoing self-translation project - raw, glitchy, and deeply personal. Thanks for reading, bleeding, and glitching with me. 🖤 I'm Italian and I'm translating my novel myself-so if you spot errors or phrases that could be smoother in English, please tell me. You'd be helping me immensely! 👁️ Read Anossia and tell me what crosses your mind. Your comments are the heart of this project.
