Mr. Racer, Which One Is Real? by roseinktales

It was supposed to be just another night of watching your favorite racing drama. The roar of the engines, the adrenaline, the fueled chase and everything felt so real. But then, one blink, and everything changed. Suddenly, you're not on your couch anymore. You're standing at the edge of a racetrack, the smell of burning rubber in the air. And there, just a few feet away, is him-the racer you've obsessed over for months. His eyes meet yours, and for a moment, everything fades. You've crossed into his world. But it's not a fantasy anymore. It's real-and more dangerous than you ever imagined. In a world where trust is earned at a hundred miles per hour, will Ica survive the spin of his world, or will she crash and burn alongside him? December 2024 © All rights reserved 2024

Unfortunately, her longtime rival, Morgan Sánchez, also has the same goal--and their almost undefeated record in practices is Lara's biggest obstacle to victory. When an unexpected terrorist attack destroys Morgan's cyber arm, Lara's chances to win are significantly increased. But... what is the point of winning if her rival is not in their top condition? Plagued by guilt and a feeling she does not quite understand yet, Lara decides to help Morgan find a cyberlimb mechanic. As she ventures outside her sheltered bubble, Lara realizes that everything she was taught was a lie, including her identity. Perhaps the utopia she was fighting for all her life was also an illusion. Together, Lara and Morgan have a new goal: to find out the truth of Lara's identity--and the truth behind NovaTopia. {Part I COMPLETED!

[#WATTYS2018 LONGLIST] On Earth, a conspiracy theorist stumbles across the wreckage of a spacecraft. There are two corpses in strange uniforms. One is an alien - the other is not. In space, a young human agent watches in horror as the images are beamed around the world, putting the entire project to integrate humanity into the Commonwealth of Orion at risk.

Deep in a cave on a remote island lies the key to everything; a small beacon containing the directions to the Hub, the crossroads of the Commonwealth.

Only one person knows where the beacon lies... ...for now.
