LUCAS MENDOZA by Cambordia

Lucas and her friends grew up in an orphanage where life was nothing but a daily nightmare. Their only hope lay in the belief that, upon reaching adulthood, they could finally escape this hellish cycle. But one day, Lucas uncovers a horrifying truth: her friends are victims of atrocities, ones she herself will soon endure when the time comes. Realizing that they may never leave this cursed orphanage, Lucas tries to convince her friends to flee. However, paralyzed by fear and lacking faith in a better future outside, they refuse to follow her. Lucas then makes them a solemn promise: she will return to save them. Ten years later, Lucas returns, richer than anyone could ever imagine. She offers her friends, whom she considers family, a life they would never have dared to dream of. But in exchange, she makes them promise never to ask her about what she experienced after leaving the orphanage, nor about the source of her wealth. Just as everything finally seems behind them, the arrival of two strangers in Lucas's life reignites the dark secrets from the past, forcing Lucas and her friends to confront revelations that could forever alter their lives.

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.
