Eighteen years. No sunlight. No people. Only machines.
Judas has spent his entire life locked away in a sterile chamber, educated by robots and visited once a week by a mother who never truly explains why. But now, the door is open. The countdown has ended. And the world he's been prepared for is nothing like he imagined.

Outside lies Malum-a highly structured, post-collapse society where every individual is assigned a role during the mysterious PICK ceremony. Success means power. Failure means exile.

As Judas steps into a world he's only read about in textbooks, questions begin to rise:
Who is he really?
Why was he kept in isolation?
And what, exactly, is the Forgotten Realm-a name whispered in code, hidden in the cracks of the system?

In a society where conformity is survival, Judas may be the only variable that can't be controlled.

REVISED EDITION COMING OUT MONTHLY/COMPLETED In a world overrun by zombies, A single bite heralds doom - except for Kaindra, who defies death itself, being undead already. ******** As humanity struggles to adapt to the new reality of zombies-infested streets and lurking supernatural creatures from ancient myths and legends, survival becomes an ever-evolving challenge. Survival is a constant battle not only against the undead but also against supernatural creatures and their zealous followers. The relentless onslaught of zombies and the mysterious reemergence of mythical beings push society to its limits. Civilization's last bastions fall one by one, teetering on the brink of collapse. As these ancient myths awaken, they reveal intentions that are far from clear- some may hold the key to salvation, while others could herald further doom. The question remains: Can humanity unravel the mysteries of these legendary beings in time to save themselves, or will they fall prey to the very legends they once dismissed? ___ Excerpt: Taking a deep breath, I lean closer to the mirror, my skin prickling. I thought it was a trick of the light, but as I stare at my reflection, my fragile lies crumble away. The reflection staring back at me feels unrecognizable. My once deep, dark brown eyes now glimmer with an otherworldly light, like twin moons suspended in a sea of silver. The faint glow within them swirls softly, catching the dim flicker of flame I summoned, like ripples across a moonlit lake. Their alien intensity sends a chill down my spine. The orbs seemed to hold a universe within, depths of endless mysteries and ancient wisdom beyond my grasp. ___ Warning: Mentions of suicide and self-harm Beautiful cover made by @scmimi.

The City of Steel and Flesh by Nibbets
14 parts Ongoing
In the neon-soaked sprawl of Tranquil, peace is just the planning stage before the next war. Twenty years ago, the Defector Uprising nearly tore the city apart-when a single line of corrupted code turned autonomous robots, or SIMs, against their human creators. Tens of thousands died, and the survivors built a fragile new order under strict laws governing machine intelligence. Now, whispers ripple through the undercity: a new breed of Defectors stalks the streets. Dubbed Mechannibals, these rogue machines cannibalize other robots for parts, growing stronger, faster, and deadlier with every kill. And somewhere deep in the city's veins, someone is building them on purpose. Adam Kotu, a haunted veteran of the Uprising and the most respected detective in the Autonomous Robotics Control division, thought his fighting days were over. But when the assassination of a high-ranking Magistrate uncovers a conspiracy linking corporations and undercity gangs to the Mechannibal plague, he's forced to confront both the enemy before the streets burn again. Lola "Pistola" Estavez never wanted to be a hero. A gang runner framed for that same Magistrate's murder, she's now hunted by both the Tranquil Security Force and the people she once called family. On the run, she stumbles onto the truth: her city's descent into chaos isn't an accident-it's an engineered catastrophe. To survive, she'll have to decide whether to trust Adam... or take her chances alone. In a city where loyalty is currency and life is cheap, Adam and Lola's uneasy alliance may be the only thing standing between Tranquil and a second war it won't survive. But in Tranquil, there are no happy endings. This gritty cyberpunk thriller blends pulse-pounding action with hard-edged mystery in a world where humanity's greatest creation may be its ultimate downfall.
They Made Us Monsters by Niyah7212
38 parts Complete Mature
In a world ruled by disease, fear, and government control, survival is no longer a choice-it's a rebellion. After a virus devastates the population, the U.S. government uses the crisis to seize control, turning teenagers into test subjects in brutal experiments meant to create super-soldiers. Those who are captured vanish into labs where their memories are wiped, their bodies are altered, and their identities are erased. Those who escape are left with scars-and the crushing guilt of the ones they couldn't save. Artemis Cross was never supposed to be a leader. But when she's captured and stripped of everything she knows, she becomes Subject 88, forced into a nightmare of pain, injections, and psychological warfare. Her mind begins to fracture-but one memory refuses to die: Z, the boy who once held her together, the boy she can't forget no matter how deep they dig into her brain. Outside the walls, Z is haunted by her absence. He can't eat, sleep, or breathe without seeing her face. As he and a fractured group of survivors drive through a collapsing America-riddled with graffiti, riots, and people fighting to the death over scraps-Z promises he'll find Artemis, even if he has to tear the system down piece by piece. But the deeper they get into the truth, the more twisted it becomes. Friends begin to betray each other. Love starts to fracture. And the world they thought they knew is far more dangerous than they ever imagined. Because this isn't just about surviving the system anymore. It's about burning it to the ground.
Calming  A Racing Heart by gadreams1952
32 parts Complete Mature
Joshua was born with an emptiness inside him. A physical hollow that occupied half of his existence. No one else could see it, but he was constantly aware of its presence . Every day his life was plagued by the hollowness, never feeling whole. When he turned sixteen it got worse. An extreme longing took up residence in the center of that emptiness. A longing so intense it caused his heart to physically speed up uncontrollably. Following his businessman father from planet to planet, he spent ten long years searching for something, anything that would fill the void in his life. Nothing he found appeased the longing or filled the emptiness. Nothing, that is, until on the planet Casentell, far from his home world of Earth, Joshua met Larcin. Larcin was an alien from the planet Joong, a planet totally shrouded in mystery. Other than their physical appearance, which was the same as every other bipedal humanoid race in the universe, virtually nothing was known about them or the planet they came from. One crucial factor set them apart from every other race. They were the only race of people with the ability to navigate the starships that made interstellar travel possible. Without a Joong navigator at the helm, even the mightiest starship was stuck within the confines of its home solar systems. Larcin was one of these navigators. What could possibly draw these two men together? And what would be the consequences of this fateful meeting?
