After major coastal cities sink to the bottom of the ocean at the end of the twenty-first century, the richest inhabitants of Earth escape the planet to build new colonies in a distant solar system. Thirty six light years away from the Milky Way galaxy, centuries have passed and humanity is well established. Among the most notable establishments is a prestigious university for the study of alien biology. 

Moira, a girl with a pervasive developmental disorder, but a talented student nonetheless, navigates the challenge of interplanetary university life as she researches a rare and endangered species. When a deeper threat emerges that challenges the existence of these creatures, she must team up with her classmates and find a solution to a problem much bigger than they could ever hope to be. 
                                                                                               *****

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

Awakening - The Last Science #1 by Etzoli

No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series. New chapters will be posted on Fridays for as long as it takes to tell the whole story.

When I Hear The Calling by blake-bautista

What would the human race do if the earth could no longer carry us in her arms? A story set in a futuristic timezone where life on earth has reached its breaking point due to overpopulation, overconsumption, and rising sea levels. But luckily, Astro-scientists have discovered an Earth-like planet that can sustain our people. We began an expedition. * * * Our eyes, Foro and his sister Lorra, who is one of these researchers, are the lucky few to venture through the cosmos and land on this mysterious planet. Little did they know, they wouldn't be so lucky as they thought.

Elemental Magnetic Star by Julienxuxu

1. In the distant future, Earth is ruled by a newly born intelligence of technology, reducing humanity to a mere adjunct. To begin anew, the "Kunpeng" sets off into the vast cosmos, carrying the Nuwa System designed to reboot civilization. "Elemental Magnetic Star," this planet with its complex geography and intense electromagnetic radiation, already home to indigenous life, could it become humanity's final haven? 2. "The moon is orange-red today," Flicker Shadow said, "An orange-red moon signifies the time of our agreement. If she decides to go to the Free People's Tribe, I'll wait for her nearby." Raina Grace looked up at Flame Wave, who was lost in thought. He was slightly bowing his head, his usually impassive and strong brows furrowed in a rare sign of indecision; not quite the unflappable, powerful Silver Sect wizard he usually was. "You're really not coming with me to the Sky Domain?" But she couldn't just go to the Sky Domain; she wanted to forge her own path. He lifted his head, their eyes met, and they understood each other's intentions. 3. It's undeniable, these were the most beautiful and clear eyes Flame Wave had ever seen. Cold and light blue, they shone brighter than stars, wider than the heavens. At this moment, these captivating eyes conveyed apologies, regrets, and determination. She was not born human but chose to be human, to grow as one! 75k words manuscript completed, daily refined updates. Thank you for your visit and gaze, wishing you find your own star in the vast universe.

The Terminus-Under the sea by hansisherly29

It was 2050, the year of the misery.The world War 3 happened, a nuclear war which ended up making the earth inhabited. But luckily there were survivors. There was an organization called 'Octagon Veranda' situated on a lonely Island which was covered by a special Nano cover which was supposed to last 300 years and it's a shield against radiation, bioweapons and chemical attacks. This organization of scientists was created to survive the World War, which could've wiped out humans from Earth. The communication system within the island was advanced and had no connection with outside to prevent AI attacks. It was protected in each possible way which is why humanity still lasts. It is 2201 now. Our little island is the only place humanity can survive on the earth but sadly it's a small island. The population is rising. So now we have a lot more problems to survive than radiation. There are two parts of the island. Inside and outside. Simply heaven and hell on the same island. If you can get inside you are more than lucky. If you get to live outside, you better pray for death. Inside the island is the place where the Octagon Veranda, the main buildings and the city are situated. Octagon Veranda, we work on eight sectors that help humanity to survive. Each sector has a chancellor, and together that's the Octagon council. Edward Sallow - Nano technology sector Kane Johnson - Chemical sector Kirstein Evens - Mechanicals and communication sector. Jessy Terco - Environmental science, Biology and human studies sector Elsa Blake -Medical sector. Bell Bostic - Security, exploration and social work sector Penny Browns - Hydrology and Farming Sector Jupiter Terco -Astro sector

Water by BethanyRose86

Imagine growing up your whole life believing you know who you are, who you will become. You spend years training to become accepted into your clan. And on the day of your Testing, you fail. Imagine what happens then.

Runaway World by IanReeve216

During the final decades of the twenty first century, a rogue brown dwarf star passed through the solar system and its gravity threw the Earth out of orbit around the sun. Two hundred years later, when the atmosphere has finished freezing onto the surface, explorers from the last refuge of humanity venture out to see what's become of their world. Things looks bleak. Mankind faces a future of huddling in whatever warm refuges it can make for itself until the Earth's core goes cold, but then a discovery is made. An opportunity exists for mankind to leave the planet and find its destiny among the stars, but to do so requires an all or nothing gamble and losing would mean the end of the human race. Some want to take the gamble. Others don't, and so conflict and violence breaks out as the survey teams explore a planet transformed out of all recognition...

Cosmic (18+) by Polkadette

Charlie always dreamed of a grand adventure - of saving her planet. It was why she signed up to be one of the few to traverse across the vastness of space in a ship she'd only heard stories of as a child. The journey taking five years was only a small price to pay for the chance at bringing salvation back to Earth. But when she arrives at the place she thought would be the answer to all of Earth's problems, she finds new problems are waiting for her in the form of very big territorial alien beasts - who seem to take an unhealthy interest in her. There is no escape. {TW: mature graphic content and non-consensual themes - 🍇} **updated once every two weeks most likely**
