Welcome to the gladiocracy: a futuristic society where the strongest warriors rule as celebrity kings and tyrants. To those at the top goes prestige, power, and absolute rule. But teenage gunslinger Emilia Mori was born at the bottom.

Dealt the life of a street rat in neon-soaked hell, Mori swore to do whatever necessary to survive. By eighteen, she's thriving on the reputation of a daredevil, wrangled the apprenticeship of master gunslinger Sarah Morninghawk, and taking any job her undercity home throws her way- the riskier, the better. The only things holding her back are Sarah's heart of gold and dreams of finally uniting the Vents, the exploited and crime-ridden underbelly of their futuristic metropolis. Yet she's not the only one with eyes on the underworld.

Hoping to conquer the undercity for their own aims, the foreign crime syndicate Dynasty has no intention of letting the Vents organize itself in a quest for liberation. The syndicate quickly envelops the undercity's eight gang lords in an all-out war of succession. And Mori, caught right in the center of the conflict, finds herself swept up in the tide of criminal politics and tribal gangster warfare...

~PARAGON CINEMATIC UNIVERSE: PHASE 3, BOOK 2~ *This novel serves as the 2nd novel of Phase 3 and a sequel to "Spark of the Rebellion".* "War is part of nature, and it's time that you accept that. When we return this Citadel to its warring state.....it shall emerge all the stronger for it. In the name of the Mainframe." -Imperator Barrows The enigmatic girl known only as Moody comes from an unstable past. Once a member of a notorious terrorist organization called the Crimson Skulls, she caused havoc and bedlam all in the name of her leader, Dr. Duncan Drevis. But those days are past; after Dr. Duncan Drevis's redemption, the Crimson Skulls have disbanded, with Moody relocating to the Rusted Citadel on one of Asia's archipelagoes and leading a brave rebellion in her attempts to free it from the ruthless, tyrannical rule of the Iron Kingpin. In 2021, they succeeded, with the help of half of the Paragons: The Viper, Dr. Duncan Drevis himself, The Crawler, and Duncan's sister Monica, known as the superheroine Voltara. Moody gained invisibility and intangibility powers, too, and swore to use them for good in defending the reborn city as the superheroine Specter, alongside its new head, King Ryker, and his court: T.J., Logan, Ollie, and Sylvester. But as the Rusted Citadel struggles to escape the shadow of the Iron Kingpin's despotic rule and embrace its brighter future, a new threat has emerged. A movement called the Shattered Circle works to reignite the conflict, with the goal of making money off of both sides for their own gains. With methods such as blackmailing, weapon trading, and information bargaining, they seek to return the Rusted Citadel to ruin and flee with the spoils. Moody has been tasked by King Ryker with investigating and taking down the Shattered Circle, and only time will tell if she succeeds.....or if the Rusted Citadel's dreams of freedom and liberty were always meant to be a fantasy from the start. • Cover designed by @Castiment
Title Erased (Love), de ThesePatheticHumans

A one shot about a romance revolving around a futuristic institute's cultural festival. As it is, even future soldiers have a normal high-school life. The story is set in the future, where children are trained from an early age, by the permission of their parents, (unless of course, they are orphans) to become Knights. They then become part of the military. Nina is such a child, who joined the V_ four years ago. She's infamous for her wild nature and blatant disregard of the rules and the Student Council. And then, by some blighted twist of fate, she finds herself a House Prefect. Enter Azerkin Schwann, suave, cool, mysterious and with a permanent train of fangirls. Unbeknownst to the rest of the world, Nina finds a close friend in the drool-worthy Schwann. Everything is going on perfectly; except for a pack of man-killer cyborg wolves, an insanely powerful rival-in-battle, whose aim in life seems to be throwing challenge after challenge at Nina, and the Senior Troublemaker of the School's latest game :- 'Set fire to a pile of straw'. Well, that's not much, after all, what can a pile of straw do? Nothing, unless there's a stack of fireworks underneath. And that's the least of her worries when Nina's fallen head over heels for Schwann. This is a work of fiction, and the characters introduced are purely fictional. Any resemblance in name or character is unintentional. Just sayin' since this is basically my first story using normal names and settings. The story is currently a one shot. I may develop it further if there's a positive response from my readers. Positive, as in comments and votes.

Theo Reyes is just trying to finish his shift when Thorn Crawlers swarm one of Nexus City's industrial districts. One minute he's working on his latest Rift-resistant building designs, the next he's trapped on the fortieth floor with elevators offline and creatures flooding through the ventilation systems. Then Sergeant Mira Kane crashes through his office windows in a shower of glass and kinetic energy, all business and barriers until her extraction mission goes sideways. Turns out the monsters aren't even their biggest problem-there's something in the air, courtesy of the invading creatures, and it's doing things to Mira's meta-human physiology that she can't just power through. And that's when things get complicated. Because Theo's not meta. He's just a civilian architect who happens to be really good at designing buildings that don't collapse when dimensional rifts try to tear them apart. But when protective instinct meets desperate need and exposed Rift Scars start amplifying everything? Suddenly his touch has Mira looking at him like he just became the most important person in her world. In Nexus City, only 0.1% of humanity has powers. The System grants levels, stats, and a personal inner HUD that won't shut up. Defeats can lead to growth through... unconventional means. And the corruption? It runs way deeper than either of them realized. Temperature play powers. Institutional betrayal. Survival in maintenance tunnels. And an awakening that nobody saw coming. What to expect: Visceral meta-human action. LitRPG mechanics (Stats, Levels, XP, skill trees, the works). Plot with spice, not just a string of gratuitous encounters. Consent-focused intimate content that serves character development. Corruption subplot because of course Parallax Guard has problems. Environmental survival and creature threats. Content warning: Sexual content (18+), graphic violence, adult language. This is a consent-forward LitRPG romance with mature themes.

Gemstones gave superpowers to some, so jealousy gave rise to a rebellion and takeover of the superheroes' home world. Blood rituals, massive casualties, a supervillain army an all-powerful leader.... They sealed that world off and left. However, you can't hide your mess in the closet for too long... Part of the leader escaped. Now it's the future superheroes' problems, they are surely thrilled about that.... The Veil between the worlds is open now everyone who can use magic...can. Family abductions, a giant rampaging a city, arson, singing death flowers, an insurrection, explosions, mass murder, raising the dead. Outsourcing super villains, of course, they would; their army is just too huge. Akili, a fae, enlists the superheroes who have awakened. Sarah- Nerd, chubby, homeschooled... Wait, what do you mean she was raised in a religious cult? Kanye- A young, smart man who was about to graduate high school and join the police force for a promising career.... Why is he being dragged into that abandoned building by that group of men? And Jabbar- A royal in an Egyptian-style world, a reader and an explorer. Aaaannnnd he's being whipped in the marketplace....Never mind, he was saved. Whoa, what are they rubbing all over him? Hey, why is Sarah naked in your palace...Is she in your bed? "How am I going to train these fools to use their powers? These are the ones who will be saving Earth and the other worlds....Keep your hands above the table where I can see them!" Akili says, then looks at her magic orb. "Oh, look, pirates!" Sarah says "Stay away from those!" Kanye exclaims "Does he ever stop staring?" Sarah wonders out loud, looking at Jabbar, who is staring at her, "No," he replies, smiling at her. And to think they will have to live together from now on, I will have so much fun, Akili thinks, watching her magic orb and waiting for keyshards to appear.
The Debt Collectors War, de TessMackenzie
96 capítulos Concluída
Ellie is a soldier in a world without governments. A generation ago, a series of financial crises caused most of the world’s governments to collapse, and left many of the people in those countries in terrible personal debt. Since then, the worst debtor nations have been under military occupation by the troops of the debt recovery corporations, and the worst debtor of all is Měi-guó, the old United States. Ellie is serving in the Afghan Police Action when she receives bad news from home. She is told the daughter she hasn’t seen in years is dead. She flies home from war, upset, to do what needs to be done, but once there she finds out all is not as it seems. Ellie’s daughter is alive and unhurt. She is being held by of one of the many debt-recovery corporations. Held, for leverage, to make Ellie do the corporation a favour. Ellie’s daughter will be returned unharmed if Ellie does as they wish. The son of a company director is lost somewhere in the wilderness of post-debt-restructuring America, and hasn't been seen for three days. The company wants Ellie to go and find the kid, and Ellie doesn't know if she can. The one rule she's stuck to all her working life is to never to go to America, but now she might have to. She will have to, if she wants to save the daughter she hasn't seen in years. This is fairly dark and gritty near-future dystopian SF. ----- Debt Collectors War is now on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QZG1RHI/ Also on iTunes and B&N and other places. Just if that's easier to read that way! But please don't feel obliged or anything, and thank you for looking -----
