In the shattered remains of earth after the great collapse, Sigma -once known as Hawking-, the first and only human brain upload, attempts to find a solution to the problems humans pose to their own existence while fighting a silent war with an unknown foe for the control of what little infrastructure remains. Meanwhile, Hawk, a disillusioned survivor- tries to lead her tiny band of followers to some semblance of security in a fallen world fraught with despots and cannibals, all while struggling with her own sanity.

Akropolis by hcedwards
9 parts Complete Mature
"Any thought you ever had; memories, desires, your fears and your dreams, are all recorded and stored safely in the Quantum Cloud for your eventual revival. Death is now merely a transitional period to the next stage of your existence. As a QUBIT (quantum processing biosynthetic), you will experience a life free of disease and suffering. Time is no longer your enemy. Regret is a thing of the past. Each new day brings the promise of endless possibilities, spent in the pursuit of your own happiness, guiltless with the knowledge that there are no longer earthly constraints to inhibit you. This is the life you have always wanted. Welcome to your new beginning..." Akropolis is a city at the end of times, a sanctuary where the brightest and best have been housed since the last Great War. A genome defect has afflicted the majority of the population and scientists are desperate to find a cure. In the meantime, man has found his own salvation in the form of the QUBIT (quantum processing bio-synthetic), an android that is capable of prolonging life almost indefinitely, and yet what makes them human in the first place has been lost in the transition. The ruling council believes that salvation is nigh, but whether that hope arrives in time is questionable. The city's future depends upon the actions of a few individuals, all of whom are struggling with their own mortality. Quentin is the boy who dreams of death. Mia is the tortured soul. Trey is the soldier that defines duty. Misao is the future of the ruling council. Claire is the girl with a secret that will rock the foundations of their entire civilization. Unbeknownst to them, the entire fate of Akropolis lies in their hands. Either humanity will find a way to survive or it will sink slowly into the sea of extinction.

Planet Cypro

6 parts Ongoing Mature

For two decades, the Earth had become a place of nightmares to the human race. A disease known as Covid-19, thought to be equivalent to the flu, turned out to be so much more. A very gruesome and powerful alien bio weapon. Not only did it kill billions, but turned their bodies into seeds that grew into alien terraforming roots that reshaped the surface of the Earth, mutating the land, and everything organic, leaving humans to survive on mostly inhabitable planet that's beyond hazardous all over the world. Join a group of survivors in a large city that have locked down an old office building that remains mostly intact as they try and find a way to safety. Their last hope lies in a military base one hundred miles from them, and as they make their journey there, begins the Chaos of Planet Cypro.
