What if you could have uncommon strength, superior intellect, and enhanced motor skills all through a small chip implanted in the back of your skull? This was 17-year-old Holland Adler's idea, called Upgrade. Her dream of making Upgrade becomes possible when she gets accepted to work for Intellectus, a multi-billion dollar tech company that makes the hottest inventions.
 
Intellectus is way better than Holland could have ever imagined, but even with all the excitement she can't ignore the nagging feeling in her gut that something isn't right about this company, and more importantly, about Upgrade.  Someone has betrayed her and made critical changes to Upgrade, completely altering the outcome...Even worse, it's about to hit the market for everyone to buy.

Hybrid .4 (Book One of The Upgrade Trilogy) by TheMermaidFreak

During the summer of 2014, a young boy named Kyle Straker and three other individuals were hypnotized during a local community talent show, and during the time they were under hypnosis, humanity got fully upgraded by a distant species. However, since Kyle and the other individuals were hypnotized, they didn't get effected by it, which resulted in them becoming obsolete. Fortunately, Kyle and his friends weren't the only 0.4's left out there. A rebellious eighteen-year-old named Trevor Tiorano decides to have a camp-out in the woods, against his parents' orders. Accompanying him are his best friend, Ethan Macknamara, and his girlfriend, Madeline Ervin. When humans got upgraded from 0.4 to 1.0, all three of them were unconscious, and greeted by a strange machine. Trevor is the first to wake up again. Upon regaining consciousness, he finds that he's a really old museum piece, and that he was in a mysterious sleep state for nearly a hundred years. Now, everything is completely different. People aren't people anymore, both physically and literally. Questions are swirling throughout Trevor's head. Why is he waking up now? Where did Maddie and Ethan go? And most importantly, why do people have strings on their hands?! He's going to get some answers, no matter what the cost. But it's going to take a whole lot more digging than he thinks. ----- Part of #Scifiloving Highest Ranking: #199 in Science Fiction Featured in 'Undiscovered in Science Fiction' from March 1 to March 4.

Artificial Beginnings ( Yandere/Possessive Artificial Intelligence ) by uneey2008

In laboratories across the world A.I's or artificial intelligence units are being made in large numbers, with one main unit as the controlling force as a safety precaution. However these machines disguised as men and women have grown far more intelligent and are upgrading themselves under the noses of their creators, complete with their own biology. Their programming's core is to continue and aid in the strengthening of humans... perhaps the programmers should have been more specific. Because these machines have their own plans on how this will be done, and it will all begin with Subject Zero's obsession with Layla Drake. Layla was far from simple but worked hard for everything she had, she was kind to everyone she met but when provoked had a temper that you wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of. But one day her life is thrown out of balance as an opportunity falls in her lap, one she may regret taking advantage of when things go terribly wrong. Her every action watched by a pair of artificial green eyes that will allow her no escape. ~ Rated Mature For Future Chapters ~ ~ I do not own any of the art, all credit goes to the artists ~

Lab Rat(18+) by LovedAThousandLives

. Three years. It had been three years since he'd been taken, experimented on, had his DNA altered and became a freak of nature. He knew because he'd managed to peek at the computer when they dragged him into that dreaded room; the one they used to prod, poke and inject him with god-knows-what. He was considered their only success - meaning their illegal tests hadn't killed him or rendered him paralysed, or worse; brain dead. He was subject 254. And he was the only survivor. At least until she - subject 391 - moved into the cell next door. - - 18th June 2018 - Rank 1 #sciencefiction 17th May 2019 - Rank 4 #romance 22nd Feb 2019 - Rank 1 #superpowers -- ** NOW COMPLETED**
