In the glittering, high-tech city of Eos, memories aren't just personal-they're a commodity. Kael Reyes is a "blank," a courier with no past and no memories, surviving day by day in the shadowy world of the underground memory trade.

When a routine delivery goes wrong, Kael finds himself in possession of a stolen neural chip that holds the truth about NeuroVale, the corporation controlling the city through memory manipulation. As the chip begins to unlock fragments of his own erased past, Kael discovers he isn't just a courier-he's the key to dismantling NeuroVale's plan to rewrite the minds of an entire population.

Hunted by bounty hunters, betrayed by supposed allies, and haunted by the memories he can't fully piece together, Kael must team up with a rogue hacker and a determined scientist to expose NeuroVale's darkest secret. But as his memories resurface, he's forced to confront a horrifying truth: he once worked for the enemy.

Now, Kael must decide if he's willing to sacrifice everything, including the last fragments of his identity, to stop NeuroVale and reclaim the city's freedom.

In The Memory Thieves, the fight for free will isn't just about the future-it's about uncovering the truth hidden in the past.All Rights Reserved

Duby's Doctor by IrisChacon2

Winner The Crystal Awards 2016, Best Multimedia Story (3d Place). A spinster doctor rents her spare room to a brain-damaged patient who doesn't know he is a former undercover agent targeted for execution by a powerful criminal. ~o~ ~o~ ~o~ John Doe remembers nothing of his life before waking up in the hospital. He doesn't know he was a dangerous man, and he somehow has survived assassination by even more dangerous men. He doesn't even know how to speak English, or read, or count. Even after his body heals, he will need long-term supervision and care to re-learn how to live. Dr. Mitchell Oberon has been married to her surgical work for too long. So, she resists being attracted to a brain-damaged patient with the body of Adonis and the mind of a child. Agent Frank Stone, of Homeland Security, forces the doctor to take John Doe into her own home while he recovers. Stone, who knows John Doe's past history well, says it's not safe to send him back to the place he lived before he was "killed" by his enemies. If it ever becomes known that John survives, his foes will make sure he doesn't live long. Mitchell tries to protect her heart while she protects the innocent John from a hostile world. As they live together, the two begin to teach one another how to live. Hopefully, they'll also learn how not to die -- because they'll soon be betrayed into the hands of murderers.

Beneath Dark Skies by SkyeGrimshaw

In 2895, the world is barely holding together, thanks to apocalyptic disasters and scientists who took "What's the worst that could happen?" way too seriously. Meet Skyleen Winters, a girl stuck with a family legacy she never asked for... and a man who's really just a side character. Kay. The brooding, too-cool-for-this, "I-could-kill-you-with-a-paperclip" heir to her family's rival guild. She hates him. Follows him around anyway. Or wait-he hates her... but follows her around anyway. Honestly? Hard to tell. Now, Skyleen has to survive Kay's cryptic one-liners, brutal training, and the unsettling feeling that he either wants to kill her... or doesn't? We'll see. With dangerous science, family feuds, and one very inconvenient rivalry, Skyleen's biggest challenge isn't just surviving-it's figuring out who she really is before it's too late.

Discover what lies within, but beware-the truth may come at a price too steep to pay. Serena's life is about to take a dark turn. When her mother died suddenly, she thought she'd be grappling only with loss-but the secrets hidden in her mother's shadowy past reveal an unfathomable legacy. A gifted actress adored by many, her mother shrouded her life in glamour, but left behind a chilling enigma. The key necklace Serena has worn since childhood isn't just a trinket; it unlocks a mysterious box tucked away in the depths of her mother's closet, and opening it will change everything. Within the box lies a truth that will shatter Serena's perception of love and loyalty: her mother made a deal with the devil, intertwining their destinies in ways she never imagined. Betrayal stings in the worst of ways, particularly when it comes from family.

Out of the Shadows by WillowBlackWriting

Alexandra Dalton lives in a crumbling post-apocalyptic wasteland ruled by The Enforcement and terrorized by the Legacies, power-wielding humans corrupted by their abilities. But when a deadly encounter thrusts her into the heart of a war for humanity's survival, secrets of her father's past begin to surface, forcing her to choose: fight for the light or be consumed by the darkness. In a world where entire cities can burn in minutes, and nobody can truly be trusted, can she protect her mother and sister-and uncover the truth before it's too late? Excerpt: "Dad?" My voice was no more than a whisper. The tendril caught the woman just as she was about to hit the ground, and in one harsh movement, it tugged her into the darkness. The blackness engulfed her screams, swallowing them completely. I could feel my father pulling on my wrist. His grip was so tight it hurt. Everywhere around me, people were dying. Their shrieks echoed in my ears, and I couldn't seem to move. My hands started to shake as I looked toward the dark sky. The silhouettes of bodies in the air, lit eerily by the theme park's neon colors, littered the sky like stars. This wasn't just chaos-it was the end of everything we knew. Chapters released weekly!

Ascension: The Forsaken Path by GabrielGolfin8

Betrayed. Abandoned. Left to die in the depths of a dungeon. Kael Veyron was never meant to be special. Born a commoner in a world where strength is dictated by the one skill granted at birth, he was doomed to mediocrity. His skill, Phantom Edge, was nothing more than a footnote in a world ruled by nobles born with power beyond reach. He trained harder than anyone, fought against fate itself-only to be discarded by the very team he trusted. Stranded in an uncharted dungeon, surrounded by monsters lurking in the darkness, Kael should have died. But something changed. When he defeated his first beast, he discovered a secret no one else knew. A power that should have been impossible-the ability to absorb the attributes of the creatures he killed. Now, in the shadows of the world that abandoned him, Kael will rise. He will evolve. He will adapt. And when he walks back into the world that left him behind, they won't recognize the man they tried to kill. They will fear him.
