A Legacy Asset. A Frozen Bet. A World Where Shares Replace Souls.

Eli Shams was a trader; not a visionary, not a villain. Just a guy who made a few lucky plays and bought himself a future. Literally. When the markets started melting and biotech offered cryo-freeze to the rich and restless, Eli cashed out and went cold, expecting to wake up richer, safer, freer.

Instead, he wakes in Arcadia: a corporate theocracy where human rights are traded like stock, and your worth is measured in a number called SRI. No government. No money. No mercy. Only the Market.

Eli's portfolio survived the centuries. He didn't.

Now, he's labeled a "legacy asset," catapulted into the upper echelons of a system he never agreed to, but helped create. And while everyone's eager to tell him what he owns, no one will explain what it's costing him.

Trapped between corporate doctrine and the black-market world of the Nulls; those erased from the system. Eli has a choice: play the game to stay alive... or sell everything to burn it down.All Rights Reserved

Parallel Universe the world where animals are the dominant species by LucianBright

Catatan: Cerita ini juga tersedia dalam versi Bahasa Indonesia dengan judul Semesta Paralel: dunia di mana hewan menjadi spesies yang dominan. Jika kamu lebih nyaman membaca dalam Bahasa Indonesia, silakan cek versi tersebut di profil saya. "Once, humans ruled the world. Now, it's their turn to be hunted." Elio and a group of strangers are abducted and thrust into a world unlike anything they've known-a world where animals have evolved into sentient beings, built empires, and enslaved humanity. In the Animal Kingdom, Elio is forced into a series of brutal survival games-twisted trials where humans are hunted, exploited, or sacrificed for the amusement of their evolved overlords. Beneath the games lies a hidden past-one built on twisted experiments, betrayal, and the seeds of rebellion. As Elio is dragged deeper into the politics of beasts and the horrors of captivity, he begins to uncover truths that neither world-human nor beast-wants exposed. What really happened to Earth? Who forged this cruel new order? And more urgently... can Elio survive long enough to break it?

Akropolis by hcedwards

"Any thought you ever had; memories, desires, your fears and your dreams, are all recorded and stored safely in the Quantum Cloud for your eventual revival. Death is now merely a transitional period to the next stage of your existence. As a QUBIT (quantum processing biosynthetic), you will experience a life free of disease and suffering. Time is no longer your enemy. Regret is a thing of the past. Each new day brings the promise of endless possibilities, spent in the pursuit of your own happiness, guiltless with the knowledge that there are no longer earthly constraints to inhibit you. This is the life you have always wanted. Welcome to your new beginning..." Akropolis is a city at the end of times, a sanctuary where the brightest and best have been housed since the last Great War. A genome defect has afflicted the majority of the population and scientists are desperate to find a cure. In the meantime, man has found his own salvation in the form of the QUBIT (quantum processing bio-synthetic), an android that is capable of prolonging life almost indefinitely, and yet what makes them human in the first place has been lost in the transition. The ruling council believes that salvation is nigh, but whether that hope arrives in time is questionable. The city's future depends upon the actions of a few individuals, all of whom are struggling with their own mortality. Quentin is the boy who dreams of death. Mia is the tortured soul. Trey is the soldier that defines duty. Misao is the future of the ruling council. Claire is the girl with a secret that will rock the foundations of their entire civilization. Unbeknownst to them, the entire fate of Akropolis lies in their hands. Either humanity will find a way to survive or it will sink slowly into the sea of extinction.

Beauty And The Beasts by sinnedink

"What will we do with you?" I could feel them walk around the room no matter how much they tried tiptoing. "Anything you want daddy." I responded. I was so turned on to the point I couldn't hear myself think. "I'll let mommy decide what she'll do with you." Fucking hell Ace. He knew that was my weakness. For weeks I have had this fantasy of Ava dominating me in bed after she mentioned she is a switch. And now he was using my weakness on me. "You have been a very bad boy Matteo. Mommy isn't impressed by that. How long do you think it'll take him to hold back his cum?" She asked while seductively running her fingers all over my body and avoiding the one part I wanted her to touch. "Ooh trust me, Mattie here will cum by just a touch of your finger. Because he's your fucking slut." He was right, Ava has a hold on me and she seems not to see it. "For everytime he cums without my permission, he will get punished. Now be a good boy and make mommy proud." Looks like it's gonna be a long night for me. Coz no way will I hold back when I have the sexiest woman driving me nuts. This is the story about Ava and her love life which is filled with challenges but will she conquer them? Let's find out. ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ A/N: This is an LGBTQ+ book so any homophobics please get out of here and get a life.

Whoever died in the game, died in the real world. The job Max had always dreamed of became a digital nightmare. Now, he must face deadly trials, mind-twisting puzzles, and nearly impossible enemies. The only way out: collect all the shards scattered throughout the game. Max must change-or perish. Will he make it back to his world, or die lost between lines of code? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're interested in seeing the end of this story, use this link: https://app.glitchy.ai/sign-up?rid=152493.

Static by hattielynn

{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16

Revolution- Runaways 3 [EDITING] by _silverlining_98

The whole camp was filling with smoke. I coughed, praying that my lungs would keep working for just a few more minutes. "Eli, which way is west?" Adam's breathing was just as labored from physical exertion, smoke, and panic as mine was. I didn't even process the question. I didn't know. We couldn't see anything through the smoke because the fire was spreading so quickly, and I just realized I'd forgotten my walkie-talkie. "Don't know!" I answered. Adrenaline was the only thing that kept my feet going. I knew we'd come in the East Gate, and if the cells were in the center, then if we kept going straight, we were going to find the gate any second. "Keep straight!" I instructed. I saw his head bob slightly, acknowledging my delayed direction. Then Adam cried out beside me, and I stopped short. I reached for his body involuntarily as he pitched forward, nearly causing him to take me down with him. My left hand was soaking wet from where it had landed on his shoulder. I winced as I tried to steady him, not daring to look at what I knew would be a pool of blood in my hand. ☁ Now that they have a new ally on their side, they're looking to change the United States for good. At some point, they want every camp freed and every teenager home safe. But each new camp brings an endless supply of new challenges. Things are beginning to spin out of control. Follow each of them as they discover who they are, who they love, and more of their country's secrets than they could ever dream of in a thrilling trilogy told from all five points of view.

The Possessive Gang Leaders Princess by 90sxroses

I sit down on my bike looking around the school parking lot. Listening to music, I stand up begin to walk through the student-less parking lot. Honestly, it's not like I meant to be late. My music cut out causing me to hear a whistle. I stop in my tracks and pull my headphones down to my neck. Turning around, I seen a group of men with one guy who just smirked at me. "You new here beautiful?" one of the guys asked. "What do you think Einstein?" cocking my brow. "Ohh. Challenging? I like." he says walking towards me, about two inches away. "Really?" biting my lip, as he continued walking towards me. He reaches out and grabs my hip, "Mmhmm," smiling down at me. Swiftly, I grab his hand, turn him around, kick him right above the back of his knee, and pushes down so he's on his knees in front of me in a position of which I could brake his arm, "What a shame, 'cause personally, I don't like fuck boys with various STD'S." I look at all the men in the group who had their jaws dropped, all except for one, "Touch me one more time, and I'll brake your arm in two." I stand and kick his back so he falls on the concert. "Anyone else?" they stare at me blankly. "Didn't think so." When fuck boy tries to get up, I take my foot and slam him back down. Looking back at the boys, I say, "Later boys." Then, I turn and leave. ~~~~ Truce Mane is a girl who recently moved to New York with her youngest niece and nephew along with her uncle Mike. Truce went through many things as a child. She still went through them. Her mother blamed her for everything. She would get into Street fights. As in, she would fight in a dark alley with whoever she could. Sounds bad, huh? Wrong. *** Dante Kings is the most feared gang leader across the world. While he does have his fuck and Chuck's, he's been looking for his princess. He vowed that when he found her, she'd be his and he would treat her like a queen. When the spit fire moves to town and believes he's finally found her. Has he?
