It is the year 2150, and people are dying from starvation caused by overpopulation and climate change; however, a brilliant scientist is willing to save humanity and give people hope and a Second Chance to live much better... but what is the price? No one can live beyond 50 years old... unless...

Johnny Peterson is a disgrace and an outcast who must face charges for his crimes in a strict society that does not tolerate threats to humanity. Not anymore!... He is everything this new world hates: a criminal, a junkie, and a scumbag facing a slow, painful death. He is a threat to the ordered perfection of the new humanity, and there will be no mercy.

Yet, the only person who can prevent his execution is the brilliant scientist who changed the world: Dr. Waleska Cohen...Ironically,  the most powerful person who could prevent his death is his worst enemy... She is the woman he shattered.

Will the architect of humanity's salvation condemn her worst enemy? Or will she give him the second chance he doesn't deserve, forcing her to confront the man who destroyed her past for the sake of humanity's future?

L.O.V.E. by denissebloom04
30 parts Complete
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)

Love, Crime, Action! When the world's richest blogger is secretly the world's only superhero... you'd think he couldn't have it any better. But throw an alien race of conquerors into the picture, and the 24-year-old Jason Leo McLean is on a mission to save Earth from a fullblown invasion while at the same time sorting out his love life. *** For the longest time, Jason thought he was in love with his highschool crush, Gina Orwell. Even through college, he couldn't seem to get her out of his head. That is until his path links with June Austere, a famous popstar, at a special event. Their brief shared moments make him feel like they're a match made in heaven. A feeling he doesn't have time to process as he constantly battles criminals in his alien tech armor. However, a warrior from the stars arrives on Earth with sinister plans, forcing Jason to switch into the next gear or risk losing everything he holds dear--including Gina, who pops back into his life, all grown and sassy. And then there's Alain Archer, king of New Chronos City's underground, as dangerous as he is elusive. Hence, it's a full plate; two threats and two love interests. So as the galactic warrior hunts him down, the press gets alarmingly curious about his wealth, and his friends become increasingly suspicious, Jason must wear many masks while trying to save the world and get the girl--whoever she may be. As the saying goes; 'You win some, you lose some'. But sometimes you can either win it all or lose it all. ------------------------------------------------ 🏆1st Place winner in the sci-fi category of the 2023 Datura Awards. #FEATURED by @ScienceFiction #FEATURED by @AmbassadorsNG ▪︎▪︎▪︎ *Cover by the awesome @still_just_me ▪︎▪︎▪︎

Making groundbreaking marine discoveries at the ripe age of 17, carrying the weight of her whole life alone since she was 14 years old; she was well accustomed to the way life worked and her firm theory that it was easier and nearly essential to do it all alone in order to succeed. But when her curiosity to retrieve inaccessible satellite data meets the event of reed richards in a pit of dread due to pulled funding on his nearly done spacecraft, she is forced to do nothing but join a team. alas, she goes into space and harnesses much more than she can imagine. four years later, she is one of the five anomalies affected by that space launch. she didn't just retrieve data for ocean research, she became the epitome of it itself - and while it is the one thing she loves most in the whole world, it doesn't mean she's fond of the fact that it's become almost all of her. inescapable, bonded, and forever tied. while the other four soon adapted to their abilities, Olivia struggled to fully become one with it, and it certainly didn't help that she refused assistance, especially from the boy who insisted to aid as if he wasn't literally going to take her to her boiling point.

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?
