The Carrion Disease plagues more than one-third of the world's population, including Cole Rite, tying them to a monthly medical regiment solely produced by Maddox Pharmaceuticals. The heir of Maddox Pharmaceuticals, Sadler Maddox, has a plan to destroy the chains that hold those with the disease(formally called Carriors) and that includes Cole Rite, his best friend and look-alike, as the guinea pig.

After one night of club hopping, Sadler repaying Cole for a rather hard dose the day before, the two are attacked on the streets, sending the duo to the hospital. With Sadler in a coma and Cole an exact look alike for the young billionaire, Darien Maddox--Sadler's father--makes a deal with Cole to take his son's place until he awakens.

Suddenly, Cole has all the power in the world, and it appears as though he was finally cured of his disease. Only, the cure seems to come with some side effects that seem to have changed Cole physically. He feels superhuman.

Still wanting answers on the attack that put the real-Sadler in a coma, Cole decides to use his new found powers to get them. Only thing is, the public takes him as a vigilante, a hero, and what he finds might be more than he can handle.

Shattered Silicon by YungTortellini
3 parts Ongoing Mature
In the fractured world of the twenty-second century, America is no longer whole. Flooded coastlines, toxic wastelands, and balkanized blocs divide the continent, while the Spires of the Western Union rise as gleaming monuments to corporate power. Romulus Vale is a combat medic in Triage Unit 17, patching up the bodies that keep the Spire system running. When a mission goes wrong, he suffers a mortal head injury and awakens with something else inside his skull. The Bodhi Chip. A prototype neural co-processor that stitches broken minds together, quantum-synchronized with the threads of human thought. To Romulus, it feels like salvation. To SamSara Circuits, it is the future of humanity. But as he begins to test the chip's limits, memories blur, perceptions fracture, and he starts to question whether the man who opened his eyes in the hospital is the same one who nearly died in the field. Drawn into a shadow war between megacorporations, foreign powers, and a techno-theocratic cult seeking fragments of a shattered artificial intelligence, Romulus and his squad must confront enemies both human and inhuman. Every lead pulls him deeper into a mystery about what it means to be alive, and what it means to be replaced. As loyalties fracture and the weight of his choices mount, Romulus discovers a terrible truth: the battle for survival may not be against machines, but against the very definition of humanity. Dystopian and visceral, weaving cyberpunk grit with philosophical horror, Samsara Circuits asks a timeless question: when memory and flesh are no longer yours, what part of you is left to save?
Akropolis by hcedwards
9 parts Complete Mature
"Any thought you ever had; memories, desires, your fears and your dreams, are all recorded and stored safely in the Quantum Cloud for your eventual revival. Death is now merely a transitional period to the next stage of your existence. As a QUBIT (quantum processing biosynthetic), you will experience a life free of disease and suffering. Time is no longer your enemy. Regret is a thing of the past. Each new day brings the promise of endless possibilities, spent in the pursuit of your own happiness, guiltless with the knowledge that there are no longer earthly constraints to inhibit you. This is the life you have always wanted. Welcome to your new beginning..." Akropolis is a city at the end of times, a sanctuary where the brightest and best have been housed since the last Great War. A genome defect has afflicted the majority of the population and scientists are desperate to find a cure. In the meantime, man has found his own salvation in the form of the QUBIT (quantum processing bio-synthetic), an android that is capable of prolonging life almost indefinitely, and yet what makes them human in the first place has been lost in the transition. The ruling council believes that salvation is nigh, but whether that hope arrives in time is questionable. The city's future depends upon the actions of a few individuals, all of whom are struggling with their own mortality. Quentin is the boy who dreams of death. Mia is the tortured soul. Trey is the soldier that defines duty. Misao is the future of the ruling council. Claire is the girl with a secret that will rock the foundations of their entire civilization. Unbeknownst to them, the entire fate of Akropolis lies in their hands. Either humanity will find a way to survive or it will sink slowly into the sea of extinction.
