Our home is the facility.
It's all we've ever known.
It's where we were taken when we were small and where we were made to do the impossible.
---------------------------
It's the year 2284 and the word has drastically changed.
Kingdoms were set back in place, war was common, half the population had been killed to create space, and most importantly, a special crystal that was once buried deep in the ground had been discovered.
A strange liquid was discovered in the core of the crystal. Scientists were able to modify what was left of it and put it into 512 humans when they were just toddlers. Some were even infants.
Taken from their families, they were brought to live in a special facility where they had no choice but to be tested and experimented on.
17 year-old Aria is just like the others. She was taken when she was a baby and given special abilities. EXACTLY like the others, or so she thought.

Burning Day
Subject 23 has lived and trained in the facility for all her life. It's all she's ever known. So every Subject developing their own special ability-a Gift-is normal. Avoiding the attention of the staff without Gifts, fearing them, hating them, is second-nature. It doesn't help that she herself is the only Ungifted Subject left at the facility. But what isn't normal is that weekly for the past six months, a Subject has been taken from the facility and killed. No one-not the doctors nor the soldiers-can find a clue as to the murderer. When Subject 23's closest friend is taken, she swears vengeance, consumed by rage. But what if she's no match? What if she's taken next? As secrets unfold and 23 is thrust into unimaginable places, she's forced to question all she's believed about Ungifteds-about herself. For the first time, 23 must decide on her own what future she wants, but could it possibly be with other Ungifteds?Lengkap

[1] Apocalypse: Third Rebirth
What would you do when four men come into your life and completely turn it upside down?... All I wanted to do was hide away on my ranch with no one to bother me, but apparently, they had different plans. Luckily for them, this was not my first zombie apocalypse. If they learn to listen, we might just get out of this with our lives. If not, maybe I would finally be able to rest in peace. Li Dai Lu was born and raised Canadian in her first life. This meant that she was taught how to share, how to put others first and to keep the peace as much as she could. However, that all backfired in a spectacular way. Reborn in a new time and place, Li Dai Lu did her best to protect all those that she could from the zombies that were wiping out the human race. Unfortunately for her, those she rescued were not as grateful as they should have been. Killed by the very people she saved, she held her breath and waited for the calm, peacefulness of death. But the Fates were not too accommodating and our heroine woke up in her third life, a year before the zombie apocalypse. This time she would live life on her own terms, and to those that disagreed... well, she would have a few words for them. With four men at her side, she will shed the cloak of civility and become who she was truly meant to be. WARNING!!! This will turn into a Reverse Harem. Mature Content and Vulgar Language on board, and Rage Bait at the start.Lengkap
In the Arms of Danger
"Who are you?" I asked, still left in the shock and scared state that came over me when gunshots were heard. I look up to his face which was hidden behind a dark shadow and bit my lips as silence fell between us. "Who I am is none of your business," he said in a cold, husky voice that somehow caused me to shiver. A frown made it's way onto my face as I looked at the mysterious man who refused to tell me who he is. He stood tall in front of me as we fell into silence again but only for a few seconds before he began to slowly move towards me. His face slowly being exposed to the light, giving me a glimpse of his icy grey eyes. "let's go" he spoke again before turning around. I hesitated a bit before turning around and for some reason followed behind him. ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── Ariana is a 26-year-old young lady, employed at a famous bar in New York City.

The Academy For The Elite
My mother's eyes never held love for me, not since that fateful day when I turned eight. I often wondered why - was it because I struggled in school, or maybe my appearance reminded her too much of my sister who slipped away from us? But no, it was something deeper. At six years old, I buried my childhood, trading it for endless hours of studying, perfecting every skill, every trait, every move - all to become the flawless daughter my mother coveted. But every time she looked at me, her gaze would linger on my face, and I knew - I was still just a replica of my sister. My neighbors would glance over, admiration sparkling in their eyes, but she didn't notice.Trophies gathered dust in our living room, but she remained blind to them. My cooking could impress even the most discerning palates - but she never tasted it. The vacation I won through a writing contest? Just a distant memory, overshadowed by her indifference. Until that day, the mail arrived, and everything shifted. Inside the envelope lay an admission letter to NASW - a school owned and operated by the government. People whispered about NASW in hushed tones, fearing its name like a bad omen. Only the gifted and intelligent walked its halls. I approached my mother, letter trembling in my hand. Her response? A casual shrug. No excitement, no pride - just a monotone voice telling me I was going. My heart sank, but I didn't let tears fall. I swallowed my hopes, my dreams of a happy family, of a mother who loved me unconditionally. I accepted her words silently, no complaints, no begging - just a mask of obedience. That was the day I understood - I was never her flesh and blood, never her real child... just a clone. My birthday arrived the next day, but there were no celebrations - only a suitcase packed by my mother, a ticket to the airport. I remember smiling faintly and making her a promise: I would bring her daughter back to her. Little did I know, that promise would become my everything...
Sentilia
Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351. She's always been fascinated with how humans used to live in houses, drive cars, and the fact that there used to be forests and parks everywhere. Now, after a war that nearly erased humanity, people are forced to live a strict, dull, communist lifestyle. Everyone seems okay with this way of life. Everyone except Maxine. Maxine had always been special; she was often able to predict events. How? She didn't exactly know...yet. When she starts having dreams about a tropical island where people live as they did in the 21st century, she meets the man of her dreams: literally. Her new boiling emotions bring her to wonder...what if it's a real place? When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination. Finding that island could mean finding the answers to her burning questions, and maybe even answers to questions she didn't know she had. However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is. The Advisors, the ten women governing the world, want to assimilate the people of the island, not knowing that those people have an extreme advantage over them. Maxine also learns that her family has been lying to her about who she really is. Ultimately, when the Advisors come to destroy the island, she must face the fact that she is the key to the island's salvation, and embracing her rapidly developing abilities is the only way to do so.Lengkap
