In a fractured world, two societies stand divided. Below the hill, the villagers live simply, rejecting the advanced technology that once led humanity astray. Above, within the fortified hill, dwell the augmented-a community of powerful, bio-enhanced beings trapped by their own advancements. Isolated and unable to touch or reproduce, they are protectors turned prisoners, bound by a system designed to maintain control. Every four years, the Ceremony bridges their worlds. Twenty girls are chosen from the village, offered as companions to the hill-dwellers in a dangerous ritual to ensure peace. Most do not survive. Elira thought she had escaped this fate-until she is chosen. Taken to the hill, she discovers a labyrinth of secrets and fears, where the line between protector and prisoner blurs. Her companion, Kalen, is as much a victim of the system as she is. Together, they uncover a shocking truth: the divide between their worlds is no accident but a carefully maintained illusion to suppress humanity's potential. When an outside attack threatens to destroy both societies, Elira and Kalen must escape into the wilderness, where they stumble upon a hidden sanctuary-a glimpse of what humanity could become. As the fragile balance crumbles, their choices will shape the future of both worlds. In a world divided by fear and power, can connection spark true freedom?

No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series. New chapters will be posted on Fridays for as long as it takes to tell the whole story.
