The Risked Revolution
- Reads 24
- Votes 0
- Parts 7
Crops have failed across the world, birds have fallen from the sky, diseases have ravaged livestock numbers. Countries waged war for resources following the Famine. Borders closed. International travel stopped completely, and fuel became a precious commodity.
Leaders rose and fell, and the new government called themselves the Gentem Syndicate. A group of government officials and large business corporations that initiated a silent coup during the fall of what was once a united country. The Syndicate, with its association with many large businesses, quickly took over the ravaged country.
One of the research foundations that was prioritized by Gentem was a company called the Andromeda Initiative. With riots and crime going unchecked throughout the Famine, one of the greatest selling points of the Syndicate to the people was the promise of safety with astounding innovation in neurocriminology. Andromeda, funded by Gentem associates, thus began the segregation of the "criminally predisposed." Per the Syndicate, every citizen of the New Republic must receive a series of neuroimaging scans and a temperament test at the age of 3 and 15.
Should they fail, they are "re-homed" into one of the Risked Sectors. These "At Risk" individuals are branded with a circular tattoo along with their Tier. The stamp of a Gentem Syndicate At Risk Individual. They are never permitted to leave the Sector.
Sloane was normal, before she failed her scans. Before she was branded. But that was three years ago. And just when she thinks life couldn't get worse, something awakens within her that she cannot control. The Famine changed more than just the availability of resources.
As whispers of rebellion within the Sectors rise, Sloane is one of the first to realize:
The Famine has changed humanity more than anyone knows.

Goddess of Discord
In the year 2125, truth is a variable and chaos is the only constant. A cryptic oracle-astrophysicist on the remote Eris Station has an apocalyptic vision and whispers a single word - "Sraknova" - triggering a chain reaction that threatens to rewrite reality itself. Back on Earth, washed-up journalist Orwell Matthew becomes the centerpiece of a quantum conspiracy after a routine interview with a senator ends in murder. As his world implodes, the brightest minds of a generation are hurled into the brutal selection process of the Nova Foundation. In the shadows, General MDK of GOES plays lives like poker chips while corporate directors wage a cold war for control and forbidden technology. All paths, secrets, and nightmares converge on one name: Sraknova. As sabotage and experiments escalate, time and identity begin to fracture: entangled particles defy causality, telemetry violates relativity, paranoia spreads like a virus. The Palace - part collective unconscious, part extradimensional mind-labyrinth - starts to tether fates, memories, and ruins, as every dialogue pulses with tension over free will, meaning, and cosmic absurdity. Goddess of Discord isn't your typical space opera. Fragmented, polyphonic, razor-sharp, it blends investigation, dark humor, brutal introspection, and existential warfare. Beauty is found in disorder; the true protagonist is collapse itself - scientific, social, and deeply personal. For readers who crave cerebral sci-fi, quantum weirdness, power games, and unforgettable characters unafraid of sarcasm or symbolic violence. If you enjoyed Children of Time, The Quantum Thief, Diaspora, or Dark, prepare for something stranger. In a future where truth is negotiable and the collective unconscious can be hacked, the real question isn't "who's in control?" - but "who still believes control exists?"Complete
Waiting Shapeless
*Completed* Ranked #1 in alienplanet in Jan 20 2020 Please, LISTEN TO ME!! I know you think I'm crazy and I know they told you I'm dangerous, but you have to just listen!! My people are dying! They are being killed, ruthlessly slaughtered by the millions!! I know exactly who is doing it too-but it doesn't make any sense. I don't understand why they are doing it. Please help me, help us!! To whoever gets this message, I can't do anything from here-please! I am begging you!! Please-just get me off this damn planet!! [END TRANSMISSION] ------------------- Earth is not alone in harboring life. The galaxies and universes have been opened, and all the intelligent beings residing in them have been connected and unified with each other. It has been over a million years since the Pentaverse, a cluster of five neighboring universes, was organized and unified. Now, hundreds of otherworldly species live in relative harmony with the one another. The unification was good for many species, but for some species, the change caused unexpected extinction. As a team of the Conservation of Species Committee investigates a mysterious decrease in the population of a robotic species, they stumble upon something that could potentially result in the destruction of the entire Pentaverse. This is not your average Wattpad story about how the 'bad boy meets the good girl'. This book is about a series of mysteries that begin to unfold as you read and travel through space with a group of unsuspecting aliens. This story will make you laugh, it will shock you, surprise you, and it will leave you hungry for more-all the way to the last word. Be aware, there are some adult themes in this book including drinking, swearing, love making, death, and murder. None of those topics are explored too deeply however, so I do not think it is appropriate to give this book a 'mature' rating. *********** @2020wattyawardsComplete

Everyone was evacuated from the home planet over 150 years ago. Our planet was dying, it was only a matter of time before our race was wiped out. We now live on a synthetic planet designed and built by our ancestors who came together from all parts of the globe to devise a plan to save us. We have lived peacefully for over a century.. Until now. Our lives were threatened when a mysterious and deadly virus broke out, killing entire communities at a time. The council says that they have a plan; they said that in order to prevent the death of more innocent people they will test every man, woman, and child for signs of the virus. Any person found to have been infected will be quarantined, the ones who die will be given a proper burial while the ones who survive are deemed carriers and are to be sent to the home planet to prevent further outbreak. I was prepared for the people I know and some I love being taken away for the greater good, but I never would have expected that among the list of people being taken from my community, that I would be one of them.. I survived the quarantine. Now for the survival of my planet I, and the other Carriers must be sent to the home planet. I'm going back to Earth. (This is not based on The 100 but there are similarities.) (Some violent themes, but other than that is entirely clean.) Please comment if you have any questions or concerns.

True Identity // A Socksfor1 Horror AU
Humans are quite possibly the lowest level of life from what I can tell. They just come and go as they please, destroy what they please, and contain unknown beings like me for "the safety of humanity." Yeah, right. And they're also pretty stupid, judging from how easy it was to break free from those foundation fools holding me captive. And now I'm stuck controlling a human body (that does NOT like to cooperate, mind you) while I complete my final plans for the human race. And if you're wondering... yes, I'm going to murder them all. Starting with this little "Skeld Crew" that I've heard about. Not much, but a start. A start that will strike the fear essence of my true power into the hearts of every human in existence. - Unknown ---------- 541 & Dr Vyllin are the only characters in this I own. All the others belong to their respected owners. !DISCLAIMER! This story is a horror type story. There will be themes relating to/depicting: blood, death, gore, corruption, cannibalism, body horror, etc. If you are sensitive to these topics, reader discretion is advised.

Unspoken
It has been almost 250 years since the nuclear World War VI that wiped out the majority of humanity ended. Since then, a government has risen, calling themselves the New Society. It's leaders have told the citizens that their only goals are to achieve absolute perfection, and to repopulate humanity. For almost two hundred years, the people have been told that life outside of the domed society is impossible, because the nuclear and atomic bombs destroyed most of the earth, and tore holes in the atmosphere during the war. The leaders say that the society is all that's left, and justice must be served. It was this that led to all descendants of WWVI leaders to be placed into institutions, where they are tortured and trained to serve their future masters. They are termed entertainers, and at the age of eighteen, they are auctioned off, left to the mercy of their owners. Entertainers are essentially concubines, but any relationship beyond slave and owner is strictly forbidden, and punishable by death. It's a risk many people are not willing to take, but there are exceptions to every rule. Nevaeh Williams has a past unlike the majority of the other entertainers. She's forbidden from sharing her past, but her experience has led her to both fear and despise the New Society. After two years in the institution, she's auctioned off to a young billionaire. Noah Ivanov is withdrawn and mysterious, hiding a secret of his own. As things heat up between them, a shaky truth comes to light that forces them together. A person from their separate yet intertwined pasts comes seems to haunt their every move, and they must secretly fight against the New Society, in order to discover their government's true plans. Can Nevaeh and Noah overcome the odds they face, and bring justice to someone they've both lost? Will they fall in love in the process? And most of all, will they be executed for learning of the New Society's true nature?Complete
L.O.V.E.
100 years ago, amidst WW3's nuclear bombing, a deadly virus was released in the atmosphere and nearly wiping out the humanity. It lives inside the human brain thriving on the empathy receptors, leading to irrational behaviour and ultimately brain death. To slow the damage, scientists created L.O.V.E, short for Living Off Vital Emotions, a nanovaccine that numbs the virus and switches off all strong emotions. As a last resort and with a dying planet, the Supreme Government created the City, a place to contain the infected survivors suitable for the experiment. Those in the first stages of illness became ideal candidates to receive the neuroinhibitor. Having their feelings restrained and their memory altered, those who come of age are designated a life partner through a Selection process, thus preserving the humankind. A few decades after the trial had started, scientists had a major breakthrough. The nanites, which are highly chemically reactive organisms, are changing their bio-engineered purpose when dopamine levels are high. With a new generation of nanoids, stronger and smarter to fight the battle, the virus doesn't have a chance. Many attempts were made to create a man-made version of synthetic dopamine and each time the outcome was a disaster. Their goal is to create new generations, immune to the virus. These are called Purebloods, the offsprings of those who find pure love, the only cure to save them from a violent death. Running out of time, the Experiment entered in its final stages. To minimize the threats, the Colonies have sent their best soldiers to oversee the trial and protect its key subjects. If only things were going according to plan, or better...stay hidden. With Iron Guard, the resistance outside the walls, hunting the Purebloods too, will the trial save human race before it's too late? #3 in #dystopianfuture (27.06.2020)Complete
ONE OF D-GIRLS
"It really seems to me that in midst of great tragedy, there is always the horrible possibility that something terribly funny will happen." Philip K. Dick "I'd rather have a heart of gold Than all the treasure of the world." Ana Claudia Antunes "Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die." Mel Brooks Beware of Drago Worm because... AFRICAN PROVERB: THE CHILD WHO IS NOT EMBRACED BY THE VILLAGE WILL BURN IT DOWN TO FEEL ITS WARMTH Josephine Hart: "Damaged people are dangerous. They know they can survive." This novel sets the foundation for Der Blitzkinder Academia, which Drago Worm will attend when she gets older. Excerpt from Chapter 8.1: For sooth, the distraught child howled fit to wake the damned. A heart wrenching glimmer of this was the first sound that Melantha Ryoko knowingly heard in her entire life. Before the woman was physiologically capable of any coherent thought, she felt the desperately hysterical youngster showering her exposed neck with hot kisses. After Drago Worm stopped kissing the back of Melantha's neck, Melantha cautiously sat up. As expected, Drago Worm's more severe burn scars were clearly visible. The 2 stared at each other. Then the hugging started. *** In this gloriously hideous & hideously glorious moment, their hearts of hearts were forever sealed as mother and child. Tears fell that day like hot rain onto parched and hallowed ground.Complete
