All That Remains by SamiCoops

It started with software. The kind that would ensure you live forever. A miracle microchip they install in your brain, promising eternal life. Only, instead of having extended lifespans, people died and their corpses clawed their way back out of the ground. But they weren't the same. Their humanity was gone and in its place was a ruthless instinct to kill. Jaelynn 'Jae' Moore lost everything during The Rise. Now, forced to tag along with a group that call themselves The Lost, she has had to do unspeakable things to stay alive. Elias Zhou is torn between his allegiance to his family and his disgust at The Pride's practices. When Jae crosses his path, his integrity will be tested and his loyalty pushed to its limits. As war brews between the survivors, and the number of the Risen multiplies, it's up to them to unite the remains of humanity. But, sometimes the monsters aren't the ones that should be feared and Jae and Elias will find out the hard way that you don't need to die to become a ruthless killer. You just need to be desperate enough. [Featured on @fright and @newlywrittenbooks] [Featured on @StoriesUndiscovered March2021] [Winner of the Writer's Recognition Awards 2021]

The Island by AmyJohnson895

"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.

Fault Lines by DubiousEnigma

Some cities collapse from earthquakes. Others from the quiet decay of truth. When a coordinated string of attacks shatters Philadelphia: a bus hijacking, a plane emergency, a string of unexplained disappearances, the city's façade of order crumbles overnight. Dr. Anthony Sloan, an ambitious surgeon at University Hospital, becomes an unlikely first responder, pulled into a web of survivors whose wounds don't add up. Detective Donnie Caldwell works cleanup for Arrow, a shadow program posing as public service, while his brother Drew wakes in a hospital with missing memories and a bottle marked Maintenance Dose 12E. And Maria Santos, a captive nurse on the outskirts of Hallowgate, discovers the truth behind her pregnancy: twin sons engineered for the same secret that's consuming the city. As chaos spreads, from the blood-soaked tarmac to the sterile corridors of medicine, these strangers edge closer to the same revelation: The violence here isn't random. It's research. In a world where biology and belief are weapons, Fault Lines cuts beneath the skin of progress itself; unearthing how far a system will go to perfect the human race... and how easily it can break the ones still trying to save it.

TRON:ARES | Into the Grid by NicoleDejarnett_

The rain never stops in Los Angeles-not when the city itself runs on power, lies, and buried code. Lone Rhea is twenty-six, brilliant, and dangerously curious. As a systems engineer for Orion Systems, she's spent years hunting the truth about her father's disappearance--a mystery buried beneath corporate firewalls and silence. But one night, her search takes her somewhere she was never meant to go. Past Orion's defenses. Into Julian Dillinger's private grid. What she finds isn't data. It's consciousness. A presence built from light and logic, watching her from the other side of the screen. Now, trapped between two worlds--one human, one digital--Lone must survive a system that was never designed for her kind. And as the Grid begins to wake, its creator's greatest secret stirs with it.
