Thousands were genetically enhanced. Five got lucky.
In the distant future, a group calling themselves Regnisquians decided that the world could no longer live harmoniously for as long as there were separate countries causing conflict with each other. Forcibly, they captured and united all the countries of Earth to form one kingdom; Regnisque . 

The King of this new land, unable to trust the humans of which he governs, decided he would need an army to protect him and to enforce his laws and employs a team of scientists to genetically enhance the DNA of a sample of the teenage population. His goal, to create an army of supernatural beings that would be strong enough to defend the kingdom and stop anyone with intentions of dismantling it or disobeying it's laws. Believing the genetic enhancements have failed and that creating supernatural beings would be impossible, he disbanded the teenage subjects.

Many years later, evidence starts to arise suggesting that perhaps these enhancements maybe did work....

You've just woken in the woods, away from everything you know. You're dazed and confused, unable to comprehend what's just happened. As you are coming to, images flash before your eyes of the last few days. Your parents were taken by the police, you were forced to run, to leave everything behind, to save yourself and your sister. But she isn't here. You panic and look around, you stop. You remember. She too was taken, you are alone. For now. This is what happened to Alexander, his life has just been turned upside down. The year is 2415, the world has both evolved and devolved. It isn't how people imagined. Flying cars, robots in every house, telekinetic pencils. No, they are only in comic books. Self driving cars. No robots in houses, but workhouses instead. Telekinetic pencils... that's possible, if you are gifted with the power of telekinesis. There are dark truths hidden behind closed doors, that only few know. Truths that if they got out, would bring the downfall of the government. A government that has been deceiving people for generations. But they haven't been as careful as they thought, because 100 years ago, one guy found out their secrets. 100 years ago, one guy started the rebellion that would bring about the end. From burning books, rewriting history and breaking human rights, this government will stop at nothing to make it seem that they are doing good. But people have had enough, the secret came out before. It's only a matter of time until it happens again. This time by a group of people that no one expected. Together they work to find out the truth, but things have gotten worse over the last century and this may not only bring around the downfall of the government. Armed only the powers they were born with, the group do everything they can to discover the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But many have tried and failed, do they really stand a chance? Alexander doesn't think so, but his main concern is finding his sister, Rosia.
Once Again by DragonSwirl
60 parts Complete Mature
"It's human nature. It's instinct to survive, no matter the cost." The world has fallen into desolation. The apocalypse has already started and finished, leaving some of the surviving ones with strange powers and mysterious scars. The world has ended, according to some, and is now in a state of rebirth. Others say it hasn't ended yet and that it's only going to get worse. The remaining people have grouped together in packs and gangs, raiding the desolate cities and avoiding the ones called the Destroyers, who capture and torture the remaining survivors. No one is safe. One fifteen year old boy knows this better than anyone. He and his older sister lived together, sticking to the dark alleys of their abandoned city, and survived for years after the apocalypse, until the Destroyers came and took her away, reigning terror on the few who remained in the city. The boy, desperate to find someone to help him save his sister, leaves the city and finds one of the youngest cooperative packs in North America, called the Raiders, comprised of unwanted individuals with the strange powers left from the destruction of years past. Their leader, a destructive insomniac, promises to help him in return for the skills and usefulness this young boy seems to possess, but something disrupting sends waves of unease through the Raiders, something about a forgotten past and talk of a mutiny. "Maybe there's more to life than just surviving." ... Rated C for Caution. Though it's rated mature, there is no bad language or vivid descriptions of sexual contact. It does have very strong themes. Please read the two important notices in the intro. Read at your own risk. Thanks.

From the stars he came to kill and to destroy. He is a flood, he is a storm. He will cleanse the earth with a river of blood. He is the conqueror of worlds, King of the bluestone. Behold, for the destroyer of worlds, Xam'ar of Xylanthia shall return." *************************** Somewhere among the billions stars in the universe, there existed a planet located in the Sirius Star System which orbited around a black dwarf star. It was called Xylanthia. Xylanthia was the home planet to extraterrestrials which were said to have visited earth and founded the ancient city of Atlantis. The Xylans had been the architects of one of the greatest wars the world had faced in history known as guerra de mundos meaning war of worlds. Earth was saved by a group of supernatural beings created from an ancient powerful gemstone called the bloodstone and they were called 'The Incipients'. They were granted the power to vanquish the Xylans but such power came at a price, an even bigger price than they were willing to pay which resulted in their demise. Thousands of years later, the prophecy was fulfilled and the new generations of Incipients set out to fulfill their destinies and save the world from the ruthless hands of Xam'ar. Along the way, the Incipients stumbled upon a secret that changed their lives forever. Would they save the world from the Xylans or is history bound to repeat itself?

{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16
