Edgerunners: Edge of Humanity by -Tyranny-

In the chaotic depths of Night City, a shadow emerges-an enigma forged not by corporations but by a war-torn timeline long forgotten. He is Rev-9, a biomechanical anomaly created as humanity's final weapon against an apocalyptic AI. Reprogrammed by a dying resistance and flung across dimensions, the Rev-9 was meant to escape his doomed world, but instead, he lands in a society where human ambition and technological greed reign supreme. The Edgerunners stumble upon this cold yet eerily human machine, whose abilities seem beyond even the wildest corporate designs. As he adapts to this new world, he uncovers unsettling parallels between Skynet's rise and Night City's unchecked pursuit of technological dominance. But within him stirs a conflict: can he be more than a weapon, or is he doomed to repeat the same cycle of destruction? With his unparalleled ability to split into two independent entities-an unrelenting skeletal hunter and a malleable, liquid-metal infiltrator-the Rev-9 becomes both a target and a reluctant protector. As corporations race to exploit him and the Edgerunners challenge his icy pragmatism, one question looms large: is the future he escaped any different from the one he's now destined to shape?

The Island by AmyJohnson895

"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.
