"In a world built on control, what happens when the controlled fight back?"
Maya Smith's ordinary life is shattered the night she vanishes without a trace. Awakening inside the enigmatic DYG facility, she finds herself imprisoned alongside others who possess unusual abilities-abilities they never knew existed. DYG's experiments aren't just inhumane-they're a gamble on humanity's future, spearheaded by the enigmatic and ruthless Dr. Viktor Krane.
"What's inside you isn't natural," Krane whispers, his eyes gleaming. "It's evolution."
As Maya grapples with the shocking discovery of her own potential, the lines between ally and enemy blur. Secrets lurk in every corner of DYG, and escape may come at a price no one is prepared to pay. The truth, when uncovered, could destroy everything-or set the stage for something far more dangerous.
"We're not experiments. We're the revolution."
Genesis: The Catalyst is a story of rebellion, resilience, and a quiet spark that ignites a roaring flame.

Ashes of tomarrow
Genre: Sci-Fi | Psychological Horror | Post-Apocalyptic Drama When the world burned, four teenagers survived. Milo, Rae, Ava, and Silas didn't ask to live through the end - but they did. Now, stuck in a ruined world of silence, shadows, and memories that aren't always their own, they fight to stay human in a landscape shaped by something unnatural. But survival gets more complicated when they uncover a chilling truth: the apocalypse wasn't a disaster. It was a test. A controlled experiment under the name Project Loci - and they were its subjects. Now stalked by cloned imposters, haunted by flickers of who they used to be, and drawn toward a signal no one else is meant to hear, the group must decide what they're willing to lose to uncover the truth... and what might already be lost. Because in a world built from lies, the biggest question isn't what happened. It's who are you now that everything's gone? What will happen once one dies?
WEAPON "X" (BOOK 1 OF THE "X" TRILOGY)
After a catastrophic government project shatters half the Earth into toxic wastelands, the survivors are divided-those who live behind the towering walls of the new regime... and the mutated, hunted anomalies left to rot beyond it. Deep within a fortified lab lies Nessa Halsten, known only by the codename WEAPON X-a girl born of fire and destruction, with a power so absolute, even death refuses to claim her. For a decade, she's been imprisoned, tortured, and dissected under the cold eye of Rowan Thornhill-the Supreme Commander's heir and a brilliant, sadistic visionary obsessed with reshaping the world through her devastating gift. But when a rogue faction of surviving mutants known as the Shadow Legion storms the facility and frees her, Nessa is thrust into a war she never asked for-one where trust is fragile, and betrayal cuts deeper than any experiment. As she trains to unlock the monstrous force inside her, a new terror looms: a mysterious portal in the Outer Zone, pulsing with alien energy and threatening to consume what's left of Earth. Only Nessa can break the barrier. Only Weapon X can stand between salvation and annihilation. Yet as war breaks out, alliances splinter, and Rowan returns with an army of hybrid abominations, Nessa must choose: remain the weapon they forged... or become the reckoning they never saw coming. They called her a monster. They should have prayed she stayed buried. The real war hasn't even begun yet.

Emil scrolled further, his face darkening. "It gets worse. The experiments.... they're trying to unlock psychic abilities in all of us. Some of us have natural abilities, but they're enhancing them artificially. And the ones who can't handle it..." He trailed off, unable to finish. "They die," Nikolai finished for him, his voice cold and grim. The room fell silent again, the weight of the truth sinking in. Asher, who had been quiet for most of the discussion, finally spoke. "So... what do we do now?" Eliana clenched her fists. "We need to find Aviva. If she's still alive, we have to save her." "And then what?" Embla asked bitterly. "Take down the academy? Expose them to the world? We don't even know who's behind this or how far it goes."
They Made Us Monsters
In a world ruled by disease, fear, and government control, survival is no longer a choice-it's a rebellion. After a virus devastates the population, the U.S. government uses the crisis to seize control, turning teenagers into test subjects in brutal experiments meant to create super-soldiers. Those who are captured vanish into labs where their memories are wiped, their bodies are altered, and their identities are erased. Those who escape are left with scars-and the crushing guilt of the ones they couldn't save. Artemis Cross was never supposed to be a leader. But when she's captured and stripped of everything she knows, she becomes Subject 88, forced into a nightmare of pain, injections, and psychological warfare. Her mind begins to fracture-but one memory refuses to die: Z, the boy who once held her together, the boy she can't forget no matter how deep they dig into her brain. Outside the walls, Z is haunted by her absence. He can't eat, sleep, or breathe without seeing her face. As he and a fractured group of survivors drive through a collapsing America-riddled with graffiti, riots, and people fighting to the death over scraps-Z promises he'll find Artemis, even if he has to tear the system down piece by piece. But the deeper they get into the truth, the more twisted it becomes. Friends begin to betray each other. Love starts to fracture. And the world they thought they knew is far more dangerous than they ever imagined. Because this isn't just about surviving the system anymore. It's about burning it to the ground.Complete
