A young man in a bleak future finds himself the subject for a new treatment, that causes him to relive moments of past lives, namely the liberation of Thebes from its Spartan oppressors, and the organisation of the Sacred Band, the ultimate expression of love and trust between men. His experiences in the ancient world begin to colour his perception of the present. Could the developments in Athens and Thebes be exactly what he needs to overcome the stagnant present?

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.

37 parts Complete Mature

TW: voilence, abuse, death It has been 17 years since the end of a war that left Fynn's country in chaos. It took everything from him, his parents, his home, a normal life. The only thing he can hold on to now is his best friend Kasper. Nobody really knows when people started to lose their minds, they call them, "the hexed", nobody can sleep full nights anymore. The two boys get stuck with only two options, face the hexed, or follow a mysterious girl who will change their lives forever.
