In the near future, the world and planet Earth have changed a lot, but not quite as we imagined. Professor Tempéra Akheeli is an artificial birth and genetic engineering specialist but, his passion for his research takes him beyond everything he never believed in as a learned man of his time in the early 2080's. 

"At the Twilight of Mankind" is an atypical original science fiction story to read with a curious and open mind. Are you looking at the book cover thinking this can't be a good science fiction story? Well... go on then, and see for yourself!

Dedicated to all those before me who had the courage and the audacity to open the doors of the impossible for themselves and the following generations. Their stories have inspired many beyond the supposed boundaries of human possibilities and imagination.

Y - Novel Teaser by ShaneJasonTaylor

For a human race on the cusp of extinction, breeders are the most prized men in the world. One in three thousand are born to the wealth, privilege and status of the position. A life in the lap of luxury, the chance to be anything and do whatever one wants, and all that’s required is to do one’s civic duty and aid in repopulating humanity. Of course, if you’re Rohan Mathews, that’s not going to be easy. As a student of the tower where breeder males are taught, kept and tended to, his greatest concerns are passing his classes, avoiding trouble with security, and of course keeping his secret relationship with best friend Kaden completely secret. After all, what use is a breeder who won’t breed? That ceases to matter when Rohan finds his mother wounded and on the run from security. When he’s handed a small flash drive and told to escape, keeping secrets and passing classes are the least of his troubles. All the while, the Overseer of the tower will stop at nothing to recover Rohan and his mother’s data. Against the Overseer and all her power, all Rohan has is his mind, his silver-tongued friend, and the warnings of his traitorous mother: Get out. Trust no one. RUN. This is a teaser for Y, the first novel from Shane Jason Taylor. It will be available soon in ebook form alongside Maternal Instinct, a novella set just before it, to be made available free here on Wattpad.

On her twentieth birthday, she faces the most heart-breaking transition of all; a transfer to the King's palace. Knowing she must now serve the winged creatures as a source for food, she stands before King Cain, the most feared winged creature and leader of all his species. The moment Cain feeds from Aurora he knows only two things. One, her soul is the purest energy he has ever tasted, and two, he could never hurt her again.

Synthetic Evolution: Genesis of Hubris by eaglestephen

In a near-future Earth where genetic engineering has reached unprecedented heights, a groundbreaking discovery has the potential to change the course of humanity forever. Dr. Aria Locke, a brilliant but morally conflicted geneticist, stumbles upon a way to create "Synthetics"-individuals who possess not only enhanced physical and intellectual capabilities but also the potential to transcend human limitations. As the first generation of Synthetics emerges, they become a symbol of humanity's relentless pursuit of god-like power. With abilities beyond imagination, they walk a fine line between saviors and threats. Dr. Locke, burdened by guilt over her role in their creation, fears that humanity's hubris may lead to its ultimate downfall. Among the Synthetics, Elian Stroud, a charismatic leader, envisions a world where their god-like abilities are harnessed to reshape humanity's destiny. He believes that they possess a divine right to guide the world toward an age of unprecedented prosperity and peace. But as the tension between Synthetics and ordinary humans escalates, the dark underbelly of ambition and power becomes apparent. A clandestine organization known as the "BioNexus" seeks to exploit the Synthetics for their own gain, using their abilities as tools of control. Amidst the brewing conflict, Aria and Elian find themselves on opposing sides of a philosophical and moral battle. "Synthetic Evolution: Genesis of Hubris" explores the profound question of what happens when humanity attempts to ascend to the realm of gods, and whether such power can be wielded responsibly or if it will ultimately lead to its own destruction. This gripping first book in the "Synthetic Evolution" series sets the stage for an epic exploration of ambition, morality, and the consequences of pushing the boundaries of human potential in a world where the line between humanity and divinity is blurred.

The Destroyer by authorburton

NOW COMPLETE! This book is a continuation of my previous book called Time Off. Centuries after Earth has ceased to support human biology, the human species lives on. Lola explores the outer reaches and the deep mysteries of the multiverse. We also peer back into the past, where humanity is desperately trying to find a way to survive. Lola is also the pioneer in human survival. Now, mankind finds itself having impacts on a universal scale and must make new discoveries, or else outgrow the expanse of the known universe. But there is a problem. Humanity is at risk of annihilation by its own creation. Please read Time Off first, which will provide more basis. I also wrote a series called Running Boys. That is a great adventure story. It can be read in its complete form or as two smaller volumes that are separated according to two different time periods. The complete form is a long read but a better way to experience the story.

The Virus Within (Original rough draft) by CrystalScherer

Back by popular request! The 2017 rough draft of The Virus Within! (Caution: Contains massive plotholes that were fixed in the polished The Virus Within Series. Grammar issues are present, particularly missing commas.) What do you do when you are one of the infected? The virus in my blood is trying to steal my humanity. It alters my very thoughts and reactions. It taunts me by tempting me with desires that it planted in my brain. These bloodthirsty desires would lead to my demise if I ever gave in. I have more in common with the zombies than with humans at this point. Even the fallen zombies accept me as one of their own. Blood is required to retain my grip on sanity, but the sweet-smelling blood from humans is a short path to madness. Human blood is to be avoided at all costs. Humankind around the world was driven close to extinction by the sudden appearance of the zombies, yet small groups of survivors constantly manage to appear and put my control to the test. -------------------------- This is a standalone zombie book. It has nothing to do with A Different Virus. I wanted to try a book with an easily irritated main character and a nutcase secondary character. This book has a slightly darker outlook at the beginning than my usual stories, but it has some humor further along. Definitely not a horror story, although it has its share of action. 4 updates a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday! Copyright April 2017. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story. Fanfictions are allowed to use my *world* and *zombie ranks* as long as credit is given.

Awakening - The Last Science #1 by Etzoli

No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series.

Live, Die, Repeat - In Fur by Overripemuffin57

You died. I mean, it happened quite a bit during your lifetime. It wasn't anything different. However, instead of you waking up in the barracks again, you found yourself in a very odd place. A place where skin and fur were the same thing. "I hope I don't die too many times here." (Disclaimer: I don't own any of the artwork provided or Edge of Tomorrow, CoD AW, All you need is Kill, they belong to their respective owners. Human in a furry war but with a twist. I expected someone to do something like this but well, looks like I'll have to be the first...to my knowledge) If you like it, stick around. If you don't, I'm not forcing you to read it.
