In a world consumed by war, where nations clash over the responsibility of a fatal disease, Emilia awakens with no memories. She has a scar on her wrist, a tag around her neck, and a cryptic mission laid before her, and the only allies she can trust are a group of fellow soldiers who may be hiding the key to her forgotten past. She is told to keep her head down and continue with the mission; terrorism.

Emilia's fractured memories are threatening to reveal a dark secret. Beneath her own identity lies a truth she cannot escape. Their mission: to infiltrate and destabilise an enemy they're beginning to suspect may be on their side. Their enemy? Australia.

In a place where betrayal can shatter the world, they're forced to play a dangerous Game with devastating consequences. As the line between puppeteer and puppet blurs, Emilia must uncover the truth before they all become casualties of a war where the only way to win is to be the last one standing, even if it means allowing innocence to be killed in the crossfire.

Ashes of Salvation by MIKEAL_DREX
83 parts Complete
In a world ravaged by a virus that was supposed to be humanity's savior, eighteen-year-old Jenna finds herself fighting for survival against horrors beyond imagination. The outbreak started as an unstoppable disease, claiming millions of lives. Then came the antidote-hailed as a miracle-only to mutate the infected into monstrous abominations, leaving destruction in its wake. Jenna watched helplessly as her family fell victim, one by one, transforming into the very creatures she now fights to evade. Alone and hardened by the survivalist training her father instilled in her, she joins a fractured band of survivors trying to outwit the evolving threats. But the monsters aren't the only danger-the remnants of humanity have turned feral, and trust is a rare and fragile commodity. As the mutated creatures grow smarter and deadlier, Jenna's group places their last hope in crafting a new cure. Armed with the skills of a soldier and the determination of someone with nothing left to lose, Jenna embarks on a perilous mission to recover the materials needed to create it. Facing deadly traps, cunning predators, and the savage remnants of humanity, Jenna's journey pushes her to the edge of endurance. But when the new cure unleashes an even greater horror-a hybrid predator fusing human intelligence with monstrous ferocity-Jenna and the survivors face a harrowing choice: to destroy the mutants and risk their own extinction or continue the fight with dwindling odds. In a heart-stopping, emotionally charged conclusion, Jenna and her allies take a final stand, sacrificing everything to deliver a devastating blow to the monsters that threaten to consume the world. The cost is unthinkable, but their courage leaves a bittersweet legacy-a world free of monsters, but without humanity to see it.

By 2057, Earth will be a shadow of its former self. Decades of unbridled consumption and climate negligence have left the earth almost desolate. Water, oil, and lush land are relics of the past, valued more than money. All nations have collapsed under the weight of famine, disease, and internal upheaval, leaving only two superpowers: the United States and Russia. They were once reluctant allies but now find themselves embroiled in a deadly, global fight for the planet's few remaining resources. While the population fights to survive in enormous urban wastelands, both regimes use advanced technologies and covert tactics in a desperate push for absolute dominion. During the pandemonium, 17-year-old Caleb Morrow, a scrappy survivor from the ruins of Canada, is conscripted into the US military. Meanwhile, on the other side, Elena Morozova, an 18-year-old Russian conscript hailing from the ruins of Norway, ascends the ranks in the Russian military. As this conflict between the 2 last countries left spirals out of control, the past suddenly begins to rise from the ashes leaving questions to arise in the thoughts of many soldiers on both sides including Caleb and Elena that, if answered, reveals a dark and unsettling truth. Scarcity is a story of curiosity, critical thinking, corruption, and trust in a collapsing world. Make sure to keep your rifle tight as you explore a dark truth... *This story includes mature themes such as: war crimes and heavy violence* *Perspectives will continuously shift between characters in this story* *All pictures are not real sketches*
L.O.V.E. by denissebloom04

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)
