After World War III, the war between almost every country, Earth came to a screeching halt. New cities and governments were formed but in exactly 100 years time, they fell. Eventually, humanity gave up. Only a small few still believe that mankind has a chance and even they are small in numbers and practically known by none. Just a fairy tale even to them. So they travel to the planes, beautiful and seemingly limitless realms, the core of it only to be breached by a certain few called The Others. They try to reach and communicate with the spirits that reside there with no luck. Until they meet 20 year-old Sam Archer, the last Other needed to talk to the spirits and bring the world back to it's senses.

Ultraya: Origins by UltrayaSystem
41 parts Complete Mature
It is 3988 AD. In a distant solar system known as Ultraya, there is a peaceful society where cybernetic beings known as 'Wyperians' reside. One of the reasons why peace has been upheld for centuries is the existence of Angels. Anyone at all can become an Angel, all they have to do is be a genuine, kind, and loving person. Angels earn the ability to fly on their own pair of majestic feathered wings, and gain magical powers that develop from how they earned said powers. Were you a fireman that put in countless hours rescuing fellow creatures from the dangers of flames? You may become an Angel of Water, with the ability to generate the aquatic element from your bare hands. However, one day something changed, shattering this innocent society. The requirements for obtaining the coveted Angel-Rank became corrupted. In the unprecedented event now known as 'The Ruling Change', Angel powers now were earned through destruction, killing, and negative acts. Are you a terrorist that used explosives to blow up city buildings in order to kill as many civilians as possible with little effort? Unlock the abilities of an Angel of Fire and devastate the land in a field of flames! But what if two Angels cross paths? The heroic fireman, the Angel of Water, vs the evil terrorist, the Angel of Fire? Will the fireman extinguish the terrorist's flames in the name of justice or does he just want the kill to further develop his own Angelic powers? War broke out but one day, a corrupt Angel had an idea. The ability to become an Angel was exclusive to the residents of Ultraya but what about other solar systems? What about Sol, the home to a weak race known as Humans? As Humanity was getting ready to celebrate its journey into the forty-first century, they were invaded by Wyperians; the good Angels followed surely after and the war continued, this time with Humans caught in the middle.
Akropolis by hcedwards
9 parts Complete Mature
"Any thought you ever had; memories, desires, your fears and your dreams, are all recorded and stored safely in the Quantum Cloud for your eventual revival. Death is now merely a transitional period to the next stage of your existence. As a QUBIT (quantum processing biosynthetic), you will experience a life free of disease and suffering. Time is no longer your enemy. Regret is a thing of the past. Each new day brings the promise of endless possibilities, spent in the pursuit of your own happiness, guiltless with the knowledge that there are no longer earthly constraints to inhibit you. This is the life you have always wanted. Welcome to your new beginning..." Akropolis is a city at the end of times, a sanctuary where the brightest and best have been housed since the last Great War. A genome defect has afflicted the majority of the population and scientists are desperate to find a cure. In the meantime, man has found his own salvation in the form of the QUBIT (quantum processing bio-synthetic), an android that is capable of prolonging life almost indefinitely, and yet what makes them human in the first place has been lost in the transition. The ruling council believes that salvation is nigh, but whether that hope arrives in time is questionable. The city's future depends upon the actions of a few individuals, all of whom are struggling with their own mortality. Quentin is the boy who dreams of death. Mia is the tortured soul. Trey is the soldier that defines duty. Misao is the future of the ruling council. Claire is the girl with a secret that will rock the foundations of their entire civilization. Unbeknownst to them, the entire fate of Akropolis lies in their hands. Either humanity will find a way to survive or it will sink slowly into the sea of extinction.

Guardians from the Sky - Book 1 of the Acropolis series

20 parts Complete Mature

In the year 2090, humanity made contact with something in deep space. In 2091, second contact was made, and the invasion of the Chitters began. Planet Earth is on the brink. Without usable fossil fuels, every world government has completely collapsed, globalization is a thing of the past, and those who remain are huddled in small communities across the barren landscape. Now with the added danger of the Chitters, few are able to keep their heads up in this dark time. Orson's Island is one of the only communities that have been able to hold back the alien invasion. However, now the Chitters have a new weapon: the deadly and powerful guardians, gigantic creatures that can devastate entire cities in minutes. Everett Allers and his sister Sophie, determined to fight back against the apocalypse, team up with Nikki, a mysterious biohacker, and the Night Banshees, a crew of bomber pilots who have been pivotal in this bleak war. Their only hope is to seek out the Acropolis - a near-mythical place located somewhere in the darkness of space. It is there where humanity will find its salvation - if Everett and his friends can make it there.
