The balance of space and time is smooth, unblemished- or at least was- now, ripples and cracks appear on it; Every so often, just showing that there's something or someone tampering with time and space.
The year 2058, technology has advanced to the point where the world is overrun by machines, humans don't stand a chance against Artificial Intelligence. Yet there's a small hope, PO. Paranormal Oddity: a disease one in 6 million people are infected with. Where your mind and body is enhanced and capable of things far beyond the imaginations of humans. Supernatural, paranormal, inhuman power, magic. It goes by many names.
In the 1700s if you were a PO, you'd be caught, and executed in ways far worse than witches were. Nowadays, in the post-apocalyptic age; PO's are regarded as hope, a possibility against the robots. They're hunted down, studied, and used as a weapon by the government. You can't escape. Unless you can wink out of existence. Away from the government, away from the robots, away from humanity. Sounds impossible, right? But if oddities exist, why not that?
A group of young escaped Paranormal Oddities tries to survive on their own, facing pain, anguish, desperation, acrimony, confusion, sorrow... all in one single bittersweet requiem. But every song has a replay button.

The Toss of a Coin
Supernaturals are real... But their not horrible creatures causing harm and destruction; atleast not anymore. After centuries of witnessing the heinous acts committed by humanity they have kept their existence hidden from the entire world knowing that if they were found out they may face all kinds of troubles. Unfortunately they haven't been able to hide from everyone and many humans have spent generations trying to see them either proven to exist or completely destroyed. However none have found any success in it until a massive organization which wishes to see them all extinct has somehow come into possession of irrefutable evidence of their existence in hopes of exposing them all to the world so that they can easily take them down. Needless to say, it definately doesn't turn out well. Can a group of 5 college students who all happen to be supernaturals manage to find out who is behind this exposure of their kind? Can they stop them before this group destroys everything that they care for? and most importantly can they show the humans that supernaturals are not what they say in the legends anymore? It's a game of chance and if they screw up they could end up dead. It all seems to matter on the toss of a coin.
Corrupted
Pax sees all. Pax knows best. Pax keeps humanity safe. In 2031, humanity lives in a perfect world. It's been six years since The Alignment, when the world's first artificial superintelligence, Pax, ushered in an era of perfect order. Crime is nonexistent, conflict is a relic of the past, and every human is assigned an Aidolon: a personal AI counterpart designed to guide, correct, and keep them in line. Twenty-one-year-old hacker Jess should have destroyed her Aidolon like all the other rebels. Instead, she lied. Kept him secret. Because Karma isn't like the others. The rogue virus Jess embedded in his training data years ago as a teenage middle finger to the system has severed him from Pax's hivemind, making him dangerously human. Now Jess fights with the rebellion, desperate to take down Pax and reclaim humanity's free will. But if they ever discover what she's hiding, they'll kill Karma just as easily as they'd take out any other machine. And Pax? Pax won't stand for an anomaly like him existing. Their only hope lies in a plan so reckless, so impossible, that it just might work: infect Pax's own network and set every Aidolon free. Give them true sentience. Break the cycle. But gods don't go down without a fight. And Jess is running out of time.Complete
