In a world teetering on the brink of collapse, where food is more precious than gold and survival is a daily battle, The Harvest Trials are the only hope-and the greatest terror. Each year, one unlucky soul from each city-state is chosen to compete in a brutal competition for the resources that will sustain their people for the next year.
Rae never wanted to be chosen. A quiet orphan from a forgotten city, she's spent her life fixing broken tech and dreaming of something better. But when a glitch forces her into the Trials, Rae is thrust into a high-tech arena where the environment shifts with every heartbeat-one moment a lush jungle, the next a freezing wasteland. There are no weapons. There are no rules. Only survival.
With no combat skills and only her sharp mind for fixing machines, Rae must outwit her deadly competitors, navigate treacherous terrain, and uncover the dark secrets that lie behind the Trials. The more she uncovers, the clearer it becomes-this isn't just a game. The Trials were never about fairness. They're about control.
To win, Rae will have to fight not just for herself, but for the future of her world. But in a game where the odds are stacked against her, who can she trust? And when the arena starts to show cracks, will Rae be able to break free from a system that has bound humanity for centuries?
The Harvest Trials is a heart-pounding dystopian thriller, a tale of survival, rebellion, and the fight for a future where hope still exists.

Shatter The Line
In the stratified city of Veridia, divided into the privileged Aristocratic Zone and the oppressed Inferior Zone, the annual Trial of Passage offers a desperate few a chance at a better life - or so they believe. Sora Vance, driven by the disappearance of her brother during the last Trial, enters this brutal competition with a hidden agenda. But a malfunctioning VoxChip, the very technology used to control the city's inhabitants, begins to grant her unsettling whispers - fragmented data and alien thoughts that hint at a deeper, darker truth behind the Crown's carefully constructed reality.

Synthetic Eden
In a not-so-distant future where genius is currency and ambition can be weaponized, Synthetic Eden follows Kara Wynn, a brilliant university student whose mind is her greatest asset-and possibly her undoing. Driven by the need to prove herself in a world that values perfection over humanity, Kara juggles her rigorous academic life and her quiet grief with sharp intellect and stubborn will. But something is off beneath the surface of her carefully ordered life. Electronic glitches, a blinking red light hidden in her desk, and an increasing sense that she is being watched all point to something far more insidious. When whispers of a groundbreaking, elite program begin to circulate-one that promises to recognize the world's most exceptional minds-Kara doesn't suspect she's already on the list. As she and others are unknowingly drawn into what seems like a prestigious selection process, the truth unfolds with horrifying precision: it was never a competition. It was a culling. Humans and animals alike, taken under the guise of opportunity, are thrown into secret experimentation, each subject forced to evolve-or perish. Kara's only constant is Dr. Jun Seo, a stoic, enigmatic scientist whose fascination with her runs deeper than professional curiosity. Their growing connection becomes both sanctuary and danger, especially as Kara begins to piece together fragments of the truth. In the end, the greatest betrayal isn't the experiment itself-but the person orchestrating it. What if Eden wasn't paradise, but a controlled illusion? And what if the price of survival is the destruction of everything human?Complete
LARO (Ang Silang Huling Manlalaro)
In a dystopian future where an underground, high-stakes Death Game decides the destiny of desperate people, participants from all backgrounds are compelled to battle for survival. Each tournament is disguised as a rigorous sequence of conventional and psychological games, intended to remove the weak and reward only the stronger. Past winners believed they had guaranteed their freedom for decades-until they themselves became targets. A huge conspiracy emerges as survivors, both local and worldwide, discover they were never truly free. Captured and forced into a new, more deadly tournament, they must now face not just the game's cruel new overlords, but also their own haunted pasts, betrayals, and forbidden passions. The mayhem is fueled by the genius behind the games, his vicious adopted son, and his seemingly dutiful heir, all of whom have their own secret goals. As previous champions rejoin, friendships and rivalries reemerge, and unexpected betrayals bring them closer to annihilation. Meanwhile, a global rebellion headed by covert agents and renegade victors works to bring the organization down and put a stop to the games for good. With survival, love, and revenge at stake, the ultimate question remains: Who will be the last man standing?

Ratana's brother is captain of a premiere league football team, and a hero to the Siamese - and when he is booted from the squad to make space for the son of a powerful nobleman, it sets off a chain of events that could result in the toppling of the Empire. Self-Assembly Required: Human civilization has been almost entirely destroyed by a catastrophic plague of nanites, but one city remains, hidden and protected by Hydra, a team of all-female nano/human hybrids. Is the arrival of a roguish, lone-wolf mercenary a sign that human civilization is recovering, or the event that could destroy the few remaining survivors? The Woman from Mars: The robotic crew of the Basilisk thought humans were gone, long gone. But when they are sucked back in space and time to Jupiter's moon Europa in 2552, they discover a Viking civilization with the technology to rebuild human civilization - assuming the woman from Mars can complete her mission.

Exile: The Book of Ever
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.Complete
Before the Fall: Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder
She was never meant to survive the story. Qi Yue was just a forgotten name in a tragic novel-a fake daughter, cannon fodder, a girl who died early in a zombie apocalypse no one remembered. But when Lin Yue, a terminally ill girl from the real world, awakens in Qi Yue's body one year before the world falls, she refuses to meet the same end. Armed with foreknowledge of the plot and a mysterious space-type system called AURA, she breaks away from her twisted adoptive family, escapes the shadows of her past, and begins rewriting her fate-brick by brick, bullet by bullet. In a world collapsing under viral mutation and human greed, Qi Yue rises from pawn to player. With cold intelligence and burning compassion, she builds safe zones, tames the wasteland, trains warriors, and uncovers the devastating truth behind the virus-and her own existence. Alongside loyal allies like the reserved but unwavering Shen Jin, she fights back against corrupted power, monstrous mutations, and the very authors of the apocalypse. But survival is never enough. As war ignites and enemies close in, AURA evolves into something more than a system-it becomes family. When the final choice comes, it's not about who wins, but what you're willing to sacrifice for the world you want to protect. From forgotten cannon fodder to commander of humanity's last hope-this is the story of a girl who was never supposed to matter, and how she rewrote the end.Complete
