Anton Vitalli had grown up dreaming of making it to Hollywood's big screen - not as a star, but as a screenwriter.
Flash-forward a decade, and now he's in his late twenties, still living in NYC. Instead of the creativity he was hoping for in life, he works as a copywriter for a tasteless retail corporation. Things hadn't turned out exactly as he was expecting, but at least the bills were being paid, right?
But then came the chatbots, A.I., and software, and suddenly Vitalli's job is under jeopardy. Then the worst comes to pass, and he's fired as part of a massive national layoff. The reason, however, wasn't exactly what he'd been predictiing...
Enter LeafLink, a new way to explore, create, and play inside the digital landscape. But it's far more than just a replacement for the internet; if its creater, BioLink, can follow through on what it's promising, Anton's job is just the start. There's a hitch, however - the company seeks creative-types; people with imagination and talent for the arts. Anton jumps at the opportunity, unaware of the reason why he and the others have become LeakLink's missing piece...

When Earth Weeps | The World Enslaved By Virus || (COMPLETED) ||
Months ago, during a study tour to the Government Microbiology Department, a student accidentally broke a petridish with the engineered microorganism. Instead of reporting it, they hid it - the organism mutated into a deadly airborne virus. When the deadly virus engulfs the planet, three young scientists become humanity's last hope. In a frozen, abandoned world, they must race against time - and each other - to find the cure hidden deep within the ruins of what we once called home. But the earth does not forgive so easily. And sometimes, what we save is not what we expect. In this chilling tale of survival, sacrifice, and secrets, the question remains: When the Earth weeps, who will listen? Now, Aarya and her team must: •Develop a cure - find the missing link to stop the virus. •Explore the depths and uncover the incident . •Survive raids, betrayals, and human violence as civilization collapses.

Virulent
[ONC 2023 SECOND PLACE WINNER | AMBASSADORS PICK 2023] An unwilling but gifted geneticist must find a way to safeguard humanity against the deadly pathogen she's forced to design or die trying. *** The planet's population is pushing past 11 billion and counting. With resources spread thin, widespread famine, and health systems crippled everywhere, the governments of the world are running out of ideas. Then a scientist proposes a controversial solution and the classified Project Rescue is born. But when the lead scientist on the project and his entire team mysteriously die, his young microbiology prodigy is brought into the secret government agency to take over where he left off. Ezra Mayur always hoped that her brilliance in pathogen studies would land her a secure job one day. This seems like a dream come true.

But the project is not quite what Ezra expected and her moral compass is tested when she has to choose between protecting her family or the world. *** PROMPTS that will make an appearance: 12. An evil sorcerer offers you an immense amount of power--but it comes with a price. (Modified: an evil corp offers you an opportunity of a lifetime, but it comes with a price.) 5.

Ultraviolet ✔️
I see how people die. It only happens the first time I touch someone. A handshake. My arm brushing yours on the subway. All of it. So much noise, every day and all the time. Drives a girl crazy after a while. If there's no skin contact, my head belongs to me for a few more seconds each day. I've seen every scenario. Except for one. I've never played an active role in a death. That is, until now. Copyright © epicmishamigo 2019 July 25th 2019- October 8th 2019Completa
Over the Redline
Quinn thought she was done with drama. A PhD, a boyfriend, and a carefully managed life meant there wasn't room for chaos anymore. But when the cracks in her relationship deepen and a late-night scroll leads her to a stranger's chaotic biker community, Quinn finds herself pulled toward something she didn't realize she'd been missing: laughter, possibility, and the courage to want more than just "fine". Kai thought he had it figured out. Nights filled with work, days stolen by insomnia, and just enough chaos online to keep the world entertained. He doesn't do feelings, doesn't do relationships, and definitely doesn't do staying still. But behind the cocky grin and the viral stunts is a man who talks about mental health louder than he admits his own struggles. Life is good the way it is...until a stranger stumbles across his corner of the internet and suddenly pretending he doesn't need more stops working.

L.O.V.E.
100 years ago, amidst WW3's nuclear bombing, a deadly virus was released in the atmosphere and nearly wiping out the humanity. It lives inside the human brain thriving on the empathy receptors, leading to irrational behaviour and ultimately brain death. To slow the damage, scientists created L.O.V.E, short for Living Off Vital Emotions, a nanovaccine that numbs the virus and switches off all strong emotions. As a last resort and with a dying planet, the Supreme Government created the City, a place to contain the infected survivors suitable for the experiment. Those in the first stages of illness became ideal candidates to receive the neuroinhibitor. Having their feelings restrained and their memory altered, those who come of age are designated a life partner through a Selection process, thus preserving the humankind. A few decades after the trial had started, scientists had a major breakthrough. The nanites, which are highly chemically reactive organisms, are changing their bio-engineered purpose when dopamine levels are high. With a new generation of nanoids, stronger and smarter to fight the battle, the virus doesn't have a chance. Many attempts were made to create a man-made version of synthetic dopamine and each time the outcome was a disaster. Their goal is to create new generations, immune to the virus. These are called Purebloods, the offsprings of those who find pure love, the only cure to save them from a violent death. Running out of time, the Experiment entered in its final stages. To minimize the threats, the Colonies have sent their best soldiers to oversee the trial and protect its key subjects. If only things were going according to plan, or better...stay hidden. With Iron Guard, the resistance outside the walls, hunting the Purebloods too, will the trial save human race before it's too late? #3 in #dystopianfuture (27.06.2020)Completa
The Faint Filtered Light
The truth isn't out there. It's in us. Every cell on Earth carries an ancient, artificial secret in its DNA - the "Echo of Creation" - a discovery made by scientist Dr. Oliver Hadley and his AI, Chorus. When brilliant physicist Dr. Zoe Hanson confirms the Echo is actively resonating with a mysterious cosmic signal, they realize life itself is an unwitting participant in an unknown, ancient process rapidly heading towards a critical climax in just 36 months. But Oliver and Zoe aren't the only ones who've noticed Earth's strange new song. A powerful, clandestine group, armed with its own advanced technology, is now hunting their research, determined to control the discovery. To survive and find answers before the clock runs out, these two scientists must embark on a perilous adventure, unraveling a conspiracy that stretches from the code of life itself to the most hidden powers on Earth and the shadowy depths of the cosmos. Author's Note: As R.H. Ravokk, the vision and creative direction for 'The Faint Filtered Light' are entirely my own. To bring this complex universe and its unfolding mysteries to life, I utilize advanced AI writing assistants as a collaborative tool for brainstorming, drafting, and exploring narrative possibilities. Every word is guided by and ultimately shaped by my authorial intent. I hope you enjoy the journey!
