Timeless Monarch: Astora by TimelessMonarch
10 parts Ongoing Mature
10,000 years... In 1994, the two Timeless Monarchs came to Earth and changed Humanity forever; now we're 10,000 years in the future. The Monarchs have been gone for 2,000 years. They said we peaked. Unable to live up to their expectations. Humanity has lost their real shepherds, the ones who would guide us into our birthright... A new type of evolution maybe paradise. Without them, humanity has regressed into relatable bad habits, ones born from the weakness in our ancestor's DNA, the same DNA that kept us alive and allowed us to survive. They taught us... Space travel that extends to our entire Galaxy. The ability to touch the algorithm that binds our universe together; Medicine advancements that turn almost every injury into something trivial with drugs and cybernetic implants. Death of not knowing where we fit into the universe, the hierarchy, our place in the cosmos. Even with all that, the story follows Astora Vermillion, a young woman with a Blazing Blade, unruly sarcasm, and a closet full of bulletproof jackets. Astora is trying to navigate a humanity that has learned to become more evil than kind in 10,000 years. In this story, A-stor-a's connection to the Algorithms of the universe will change everything for everyone... even humanities shepherds. Some might say... She's heard this all before...

"They took my sister. Now I'm taking her back." Seventeen years ago, humans started developing supernatural abilities. Comic books came true as the first person flew, created fire, mind-read. The world entered a new age where people who could do special things were revered and admired. That all changed when one man lost control of his power and unleashed a huge explosion in a crowded shopping centre, killing over a thousand others. A series of fights involving superhumans broke out, resulting in the destruction of multiple cities and hundreds upon hundreds of further lives lost. The government began hunting down those extraordinary people with the assistance of a specialised unit: trained in recognising different abilities. Suddenly powers became something scary, uncontrollable and dangerous, that nobody wanted to own up to having. Seventeen years after the Explosion, Amelie Rose Carmichael is the daughter of the man who is in charge of hunting down and imprisoning these people. She enjoys a comfortable life, protected from any threats against her. But when Amelie develops an ability without warning, she must try to keep it hidden from her family, her friends, and above all her father. Can she keep a secret? Will she use her powers to help the rebel organisation that has approached her? And what secrets are the people around her hiding?

One hundred years ago, war threatened the existence of humanity. One man's actions might bring it back. During WWV, battles weren't won with bombs, but with science. Specifically, with DNA. Now, a person's place in society is determined by their genetic code. If your Gift is as mundane as knowing what time it is without needing a watch, you're probably a Norm, but if it's so extraordinary that it's considered a danger to the public, congratulations, you're an Elite. Seventeen-year-old Brianna Acero doesn't fall into either category. She is the only girl in the world who has no Gift at all. When life throws her a curveball and Brianna finds herself living among the Elites, she begins to uncover layers upon layers of secrets about her own past, but there is one secret that was not meant to be unlocked. Now, there is no way of putting it back in its cage. The Second One is back, and this time he won't be so forgiving. His actions could bring about a new world war, and the end of Gifted society along with it. Only Brianna is unique enough to stop him, but will she rise to the challenge? Revenge is a dangerous game, and not everyone is ready to play it.
