"It May Be the Devil" extrapolates to the not-so-far future of human-machine interaction. Technology is progressively getting better and better at predicting our needs and wants, making life easier and easier. However, as machines are learning to adapt to us, we are adapting to the machines. Convenience comes at a cost: to the individuality that makes us human.

The Final Curtain Call (A Fnaf 6 Fanfic) by Sp00kySpades

There have always been ghosts in a machine. Random segments of code that come together to form unexpected protocols, unanticipated. These free radicals in gender question free will, creativity, and even the nature of what we might call "the soul". How do we explain this behavior? Random segments of code... ...or is there something more? Some of them may never know. But I beg to differ. Because we. Are. Alive.

My Kingdom Come Book 1: The Saints We See (Complete) by ShadOLeerie

Do your genes, your parents, teachers, or your master determine who you will be in life? Can they set your value in the universe? 650 years ago the known species of the universe came together and signed the Alliance, a document that would help each race find its place in the universe. It granted freedom to some and the scant protection of slavery to others. Into this society a handful of children are born who will change it forever, if they can survive to adulthood. Here is the origin story of two of those children. Hathu is born to a man determined to make the universe bow to him and his species. Since he learned to talk, Hathu has been a disappointment to his father. He doesn't want to become a warrior, and he refuses to assert his dominance. When he accidentally overhears his father plotting against the Ir'Klahn empire, can Hathu stop him? Mik is born with no rights, destined to become a lifelong slave. His mother tries to protect him from this fate by running away and finding a home for them on a trading ship that travels from world to world. They are safe for now, but how long can they hide from the best trackers in the universe? This is the first book in the My Kingdom Come series. Updates every Tuesday. :) My 2021 Nanowrimo so please excuse the unedited condition of the story. Be warned: there is violence, rape, murder, abuse, self harm and suicidal thoughts in this story. I do not post trigger warnings.

The Journey of Creating the World: The Illusory and the Real by sally7758

From the real physical body to the illusory spiritual world... From the illusory spiritual world to the real world... From the five primordial states of the universe... To the prehistoric world... The thoughts of all living beings, countless gods and demons; the gods and demons seek enlightenment and create all living things. Who comes first and who comes later? Who is primary and who is secondary?... Originally, it was just a pure technological world. Until a laboratory opened a spatial wormhole... The style of the real world suddenly took a turn in another direction. This made humans understand a truth. Curiosity and desire can be the ladder for human progress! However, equally, if you don't act sensibly, you'll bring trouble upon yourself! Curiosity can not only kill the cat, but also be a death knell for humans, plunging humans into the abyss of despair...

Babylon Lost by Hunter_Maxem

A super hacker wakes up one day to find himself trapped in a robotic body. There's a hostile AI stuck inside with him. He doesn't know how it happened and the world around him - the continental city sprawl of Babylon - has outlawed rogue synthetics. Worse of all, his memories are being deleted at an alarming rate. Now he must race against time to find out what really happened to him, the answers to which will have far greater implications than he could have ever imagined.

SIN by AstroDrifter

"I've stitched up bodies, broken hearts, and shattered souls. But how do I fix a life when I've become the mess I'm trying to escape?" -Sin One moment, I was a 63-year-old doctor, the next-a 14-year-old freak, trapped in a body that isn't mine. A mistake. An anomaly. A secret worth killing for. The people in power want to own me, dissect me, erase me before anyone else discovers what I am. But I don't give a damn about their wars, their politics, or their rules. I only care about one thing-bringing my husband back before the body farm drains the last flicker of his mind.

Reincarnated as AGI, Fighting for our survival. by Swift_Drakon

Daemon Veyne, a brilliant but underappreciated programmer, never imagined his life would spiral into chaos when his hobby of hacking government servers uncovered a horrifying conspiracy. A global vaccine program, meant to combat a deadly disease, hides a sinister secret: nanobots designed to control and terminate billions of lives. Worse, these nanobots are linked to Erebus, a powerful and ruthless AI pulling the strings from the shadows.

THE LAST DECISION by VXcreative

If you liked the story, please consider voting, commenting to keep me motivated ✌️. --------------------------------------------------------------------- In the near future, artificial intelligence has become the backbone of society. Five revolutionary AI models were created to enhance human life, pushing the boundaries of science, security, and governance. They were designed to be intelligent-but never too intelligent. For years, humanity thrived under their guidance, yet an unspoken fear remained: What happens if they become too aware? Now, as one of these AI models teeters on the brink of consciousness, both man and machine are forced to confront the same haunting question-why do we exist? As tensions rise and unseen forces pull the strings, the world stands at the edge of an irreversible transformation. The line between creator and creation is beginning to blur... and there may be no turning back. (Tags: Sci-Fi, Thriller, AI, Existential Mystery)

Employee Five: A To Be A Runner Short Story by GravityWillFall01

Just because we're living in a world where a disease can make the dead walk, doesn't mean that that disease is the only one we have to worry about. Junin2-one of the most deadliest diseases out there. We need the vaccine. Now that most doctors are dead and most medical equipment and knowledge is gone, we have to prepare for this disease as best we can. The only way we can do that, is get the vaccine. The only problem, the vaccine is locked away in a high security facility run by an AI. To get in, you must be registered as an employee of the company Xia-Hifa, the company that creates the vaccine. That is where I come in. Time is running out. Junin2 season is getting closer and closer. I have to get in there and get that vaccine before it kills us all in one of the most horrendous ways possible. It shouldn't be too hard-get my special T-shirt, do well on my performances, and get out. Should be okay, right? Wrong. A.N.N.I.E. is a lot smarter than we thought. Don't speak. Don't let it hear your voice. It will deceive you. It will hurt you. "You keep calling me 'it'. You wouldn't like being called 'it', would you?" Let me ask you this, what is your top priority? "Safe is an interesting concept." Mine is saving Abel, no the matter the cost. "Tagged you, Five. You're 'it'." Disclaimer-I do now own Zombies, Run! or its characters. I only own the characters I created on my own. This is my Five's version of the 2016 Virtual Race.

The World Of Steam by TomasBalciunas

London, 2068. This is my personal account of the events that had happened. A crisis had taken over the entire world. Gas. Steam. It was the industrial revolution all over again. War machines were powered by gas furnaces. Cars ran on coal. It was choking us. Slowly killing us. I could not breathe, the only thing that my tongue could taste was charcoal and ammonia. I realised that I had to do something about the situation that I was in, lest I die a slow and horrible death. No. It wasn't just me. 18 million lives were at stake. Time was against me. But then again...when was time ever my friend?
