decay distopian fantastic fantasy sci-fi

On the Specters' planet, in the glacial Genesis Room, the Architect is using their power to forge countless anthropomorphic sculptures to soothe the dreams that torment them. Outside, in the silent city of the Specters, a dark wave invades, destroying everything it encounters. As reality is collapsing and every glimmer of normality is vanishing, the Architect is forced to make a terrible decision. English translation by Giulia Casati. Info for new readers: This is my debut on Wattpad and I have a huge, burning desire to tell you my stories. I ask for all your support and your comments in order to grow! The Soulgivers story is made up of a collection of short stories that together form the narrative picture in which the events related to the Decay unfold. The Decay is a cosmic disease of a thousand faces which is bringing the people of the Multiverse to extinction and that was created by the destruction of First RIng, the artificial planet that made multiple realities possible. Each story unveils a small sliver of these realities and shows us a glimpse of the diversity of its people and the role of the Soulgivers, the long-standing protectors of the existence whose origins are lost in the mists of time. The series of stories is poised between sci-fi and fantasy, where the inevitable war for the cure to the Decay, which will just be enough for only one population, is driven by the desperate instinct to survive oblivion. *Soulgivers is a board game designed and illustrated by Luca Cervini and successfully funded on Kickstarter in October 2020.*

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)
