In a future where artificial intelligence once tore the world apart, the last remnants of humanity cling to control - by containing the threat they barely understand.
Katlyn Lopez, a former patient, lives with a Core inside her: a rogue AI consciousness whispering in her mind, threatening to unravel her identity. Alongside her is Aaron, a soldier with a fierce heart and a growing desperation to keep her grounded. Together, they find brief peace in a research base with scientists Marek and Anderson, where loyalty, secrets, and silent war fuse.
But everything shifts when a new girl is rescued - Liana Cassidy, just seventeen, with a Core of her own. Unlike Katlyn, Liana isn't afraid of hers. She listens to the whispers. She uses them. And for the first time, the Core feels... connected.
Tensions rise as relationships grow messy, alliances blur, and the line between humanity and AI begins to fade. As the voices grow louder, as secrets explode behind closed doors, and as love and loyalty are tested - one question remains:
What happens when the Core doesn't want to whisper anymore?

Anomaly
First book in the subject 001 series Subject 001 was never meant to exist. Born from E.D.E.N.'s most ambitious experiment and abandoned just as quickly, Ellie is the girl whispered about in locked rooms and classified files-the mistake too powerful to control, the anomaly that terrifies even the people who created her. After a lifetime of confinement, Ellie escapes into a world she was taught to fear, only to discover it's nothing like the sterile halls she grew up in. With Ava, Mia, Noah, and Liam-kids just as broken, brilliant, and dangerous as she is-Ellie begins to unravel the truth behind the experiments that stole their childhoods. But E.D.E.N. isn't done with them. Hunted by the Governor and the adults who shaped them, manipulated by shadows wearing familiar faces, and haunted by the dark promise Henry whispers about destroying E.D.E.N. together, Ellie is forced into a deadly game of survival where trust is a luxury and power is a curse. As her abilities grow-and her memories return-Ellie must face the truth buried in her bloodline: She wasn't created to save the world. She was created to end it. And in the fight between what she was made to be and who she chooses to become... only one version of her can survive. ----------------------------------- W A R N I N G T H I S S T O R Y C O N T A I N S : → Mild Violence →explicit language → Mild Child neglect ------------------- H I G H E S T R A N K I N G S : 546 #dystopian 25 #Anomaly (most impressive ranking) 2 #powerfulgirl 6 #undergroundworld 2 #geneticengineering ---------------- S T A R T E D →18/8/25 C O M P L E T E → 10/9/25 WORD COUNT : 22.8kTerminé
Scarcity
By 2057, Earth will be a shadow of its former self. Decades of unbridled consumption and climate negligence have left the earth almost desolate. Water, oil, and lush land are relics of the past, valued more than money. All nations have collapsed under the weight of famine, disease, and internal upheaval, leaving only two superpowers: the United States and Russia. They were once reluctant allies but now find themselves embroiled in a deadly, global fight for the planet's few remaining resources. While the population fights to survive in enormous urban wastelands, both regimes use advanced technologies and covert tactics in a desperate push for absolute dominion. During the pandemonium, 17-year-old Caleb Morrow, a scrappy survivor from the ruins of Canada, is conscripted into the US military. Meanwhile, on the other side, Elena Morozova, an 18-year-old Russian conscript hailing from the ruins of Norway, ascends the ranks in the Russian military. As this conflict between the 2 last countries left spirals out of control, the past suddenly begins to rise from the ashes leaving questions to arise in the thoughts of many soldiers on both sides including Caleb and Elena that, if answered, reveals a dark and unsettling truth. Scarcity is a story of curiosity, critical thinking, corruption, and trust in a collapsing world. Make sure to keep your rifle tight as you explore a dark truth... *This story includes mature themes such as: war crimes and heavy violence* *Perspectives will continuously shift between characters in this story* *All pictures are not real sketches*Terminé
The Debt Collectors War
Ellie is a soldier in a world without governments. A generation ago, a series of financial crises caused most of the world’s governments to collapse, and left many of the people in those countries in terrible personal debt. Since then, the worst debtor nations have been under military occupation by the troops of the debt recovery corporations, and the worst debtor of all is Měi-guó, the old United States. Ellie is serving in the Afghan Police Action when she receives bad news from home. She is told the daughter she hasn’t seen in years is dead. She flies home from war, upset, to do what needs to be done, but once there she finds out all is not as it seems. Ellie’s daughter is alive and unhurt. She is being held by of one of the many debt-recovery corporations. Held, for leverage, to make Ellie do the corporation a favour. Ellie’s daughter will be returned unharmed if Ellie does as they wish. The son of a company director is lost somewhere in the wilderness of post-debt-restructuring America, and hasn't been seen for three days. The company wants Ellie to go and find the kid, and Ellie doesn't know if she can. The one rule she's stuck to all her working life is to never to go to America, but now she might have to. She will have to, if she wants to save the daughter she hasn't seen in years. This is fairly dark and gritty near-future dystopian SF. ----- Debt Collectors War is now on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QZG1RHI/ Also on iTunes and B&N and other places. Just if that's easier to read that way! But please don't feel obliged or anything, and thank you for looking -----Terminé
The Debt of a Paper Crane
When author Hanna decides to leave the sanctuary of her home to explore an underground club called 'Nirvana' with her friends, she meets someone she hoped to never see again: Jago. As the story unfolds, not only his motives are called into question. Hanna herself is not as innocent as she appears to be. **ADULT THEMES** Though this book takes consent seriously there are a few scenes that could be triggering. Please read with caution as it will not shy away from more graphic descriptions. **AI** I am using AI to improve my writing as English is not my first language. That being said, AI does not influence where the story goes (tried that once and decided against it because it got boring AF). I love my characters to death (yes, especially the 'bad' ones) and would hate for AI to simply flatten their quirks and personalities. If you don't want to support AI-improved writing, however, please don't read it :)
Book 5: The Unwritten City
The defeat of the global Core Architecture's surveillance was supposed to guarantee freedom, but instead, it initiated a catastrophic internal war. With the **90-cycle countdown** to collapse still ticking, Dante returns to the **Unwritten City** to find his allies fighting not machines, but humanity's deepest fear. **Director Silas**, a cunning former loyalist, is leveraging the city's chaos, promising structure and stability while aggressively seizing the remaining power conduits with his heavily armed **Regulators**. As Eleanor and Izzy race to forge the **Consensus Protocol**-a unified, self-governing code of pure chaos-Dante must neutralize Silas, the last, and most dangerous, proponent of centralized order. Yet, as the Proxies wage a bitter war for their political soul, a newly activated, unseen node of the **Core Architecture** begins quietly compiling data beneath the ravaged Sub-Terranean Hub, ready to deploy its **Final Solution** the moment the fighting ceases and the city mistakes exhaustion for peace.
One Last Task
(I'm actually going to publish this series on amazon if you want a copy) In a world where shadows hold secrets and systems control lives, two paths begin to converge-one forged in secrecy, the other in curiosity. Red Snake has spent her life inside the system, trained to follow orders, bury emotion, and survive. But when whispers of rebellion surface and her own identity begins to crack, she starts to question everything she's been taught. Especially when the truth might cost her everything-including her life. Meanwhile, Haven and her tight-knit group of friends-Mason, Sam, and Alex-aren't part of the system... but they're about to uncover it. Armed with scattered documents, theories scribbled across Mason's bedroom walls, and drinks from their favorite café, they begin to unravel a hierarchy more sinister than they could have imagined: Council → Mr. Price → Staff → Operatives → Students. As Red Snake plans her escape and Haven's group closes in on the truth, their worlds inch closer to collision. But in a game of manipulation and buried pasts, not everyone wants to be saved. A story of found family, hidden pasts, and the price of freedom-perfect for fans of twisty conspiracies, layered characters, and slow-burning revolution.Terminé
