murder mystery sciencefiction serialkiller

The Upload is a virtual world where consciousness can be transferred at death, granting eternal life to anyone able to pay the price. Flesh-and-blood people in the real world can enter as avatars and visit dearly departed loved ones, or indulge in expensive holidays to places that no longer exist or never existed in the first place. Anyone can be anyone else.

And someone has started killing them, digital and real alike. As detective Jake Andrews searches for the culprit, he uncovers a plot that's more than just random murders, more than a serial killer: someone wants to wipe out every person in the Upload.

I started writing this story on my blog as a series of flash fiction pieces inspired by photo prompts. It's somewhat tangentially related to a novel I'm revising at the moment, but more on that later. This story is unfinished, and there are gaps between the portions that I have written, but I wanted to gather it in one place and keep going with it to see if something becomes of it. Let me know what you think.Todos os Direitos Reservados

ESCAPE FROM THE FUTURE, de deancmoore

Less than forty years into the future, most of mankind has elected to upload themselves to digital nirvana, where they can live as many lives as they care to in parallel, in as many different fantasy worlds as they desire. A small percentage of humans, however, are loath to give up the mortal coil. These last holdouts are the escapees from the future. The question is, for how long? Will Mother, the sentient internet, be content with gentle prodding to upgrade and uplift? Or will she resort to more coercive means? Has she already, unbeknownst to the final holdouts?

Murder High, de Rosie_80

A high school student has been murdered, and someone has been falsely accused of the crime. Will the real killer be discovered?

Everyone is insane, de Dooniwooni

Everything is going well for the group of nine friends. No arguing. No panicking. Everyone friends. And everyone is alive. until one day, unexpectedly, one of them dies. They all deny that they killed their friend but he has no enemies or people that he doesn't like. Police start to suspect that someone in the group is lying so they set up cameras without the group knowing. And they find something unlooked for. Who's the killer? Is there even a killer at all?

The distance (original), de The-safeword-is-Bird

A murder has happened and three detectives across the world from each other set out to solve it through online communications and finding clues in each country. Will they solve it in time or will the death only mark an endless circle of death with no defendants?

Infected Life: Outbreak, de NAB101

***WARNING: triggers for use of violence, verbal abuse, physical abuse, and inappropriate language. If any of the before mentioned triggers engage you, please proceed with caution. Please refrain from inappropriate comments. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy.*** -NAB The year is 2027. Prices of everyday necessities, from food to gas, from toilet paper to healthcare, have more than doubled. The global population now peaking near 8.5 billion. It was now considered a virtue to be hospitalized, so long as you could pay the lifelong medication payments and stay sick. Just as it seemed society was ready to kick the bucket, something viral and deadly beat it to the punch. As the people he knew turned into sick, plagued creatures of death and his world crumbles down around him, Jacob Mason must leave his life as a quiet, middle school student behind and forge ahead a new life to protect the people he loves. But this is all just the beginning of a brand new, blood splattered life for him.

Legends Life - Out of control, de klancelover13

This is a novel about a topic we technically made up randomly and if there are any mistakes, errors, or just places I could fix and add more details please tell me, I want to make this book enjoyable and exciting to read! Also please be aware that some of these will be notice's and this book does need and have a blood warning and a swear warning! Please do be aware if you can't deal with blood this book does get descriptive (Partly true) and I will be explaining what scars, burns and wounds look like and the pain felt for them. This book is more themed in the future than it is nowadays. You may also find some technology that is more futuristic, and there are things talking about the past. Most of the book is switching between views of the main characters. We want you to expect the unexpected in this book, for example: Most books don't kill off the main character, we want you to think we will kill off one of them. Most of the characters in this will have birthdays and age in the background and it may not be written. There will be more books coming out so we will end this one on a cliffhanger.

Among Us, de WriterOfTheWolves

"I don't think you'll find anyone," I muttered. "Why?" "The murderer isn't out there, The murderer is among us." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Emily was glad to be part of the space program. Finally, she could leave her polluted Earth and start a new life on Planet X. Her crewmates seemed chill. Each had their own quirk, their own personality, but they were a team. Week 3: First body discovered. As they sat at the meeting table, looking at each other's colored space suits now stained with Black's blood, she begins to realize her crewmates aren't what they seem. She can trust nobody. But when she begins to fall in love, things get even crazier. Sabotage. Romance. Friendships. Betrayals. 9 Panicked people, then 8, then 7...... (Hai! Thanks for checking out my new story. It's obviously based on the popular game, Among Us! I will upload at LEAST twice a week. Thx for reading! I also wrote this whole thing on two hours of sleep and half a cup of coffee, also while writing a separate book with similar names and while watching Stranger Things, so if you see any name mistakes that's why :P)

A Killer Loves Me, de abarnes00

I thought I knew them. But isn't it funny how you can never really know someone fully. Even yourself. But now I'm in a sticky situation because a killer loves me. But this isn't your ordinary love. -------------------------------------- Abbi thought she had the perfect life. She had a great boyfriend, great friends, and a wonderful family. For her 18th birthday her friends throw her a party. But little did she know that at that party someone would be killed, and it would change her life forever. Was the killer a random stranger? Or was it someone closer to her heart than they should be?

O Negative, de BCMetcalf

Content Warning-This story is meant for mature audiences. It features adult language, references, situations, sexual content, graphic violence, and gore. Fantasy, horror, and science fiction are my favorite genres to read. They are also my favorite to write. I've enjoyed writing since I won my first writing contest in the fourth grade. That was over twenty-five years ago and I haven't shared a sinlge word of it. Imposter syndrome is a bitch! Well, I finally managed to pull the trigger. Here is "O Negative". It's a mix of all of my favorite genres. I've mixed a fantasy, based on present-day Earth, with plenty of graphic horror and wrapped it all up within a world driven by the technological advancements that only can be obtained from millions of years of civilation. A small group of strangers find themselves surviving in a decimated world. It's bad enough to be stranded in a no-name town, but things become surreal when you realize the vast majority of humanity has died...it becomes terrifying when you realize you aren't that lucky to be alive. "Survivor's Guilt" isn't a thing when you find yourself the sole food source for an entire group of beings that no longer need to hide in the shadows. Man is no longer at the top of the food chain...they are now the cattle.
