After a global war, the world is ruled by a single regime, and a secret experiment begins.

Leona, a skilled intelligence agent with a buried past, uncovers classified files about a virtual simulation designed to test and manipulate human behavior. Before she can act, she's pulled into the deadly System herself. Each trial she faces is psychologically and physically challenging, meant to fracture her mind and erase her identity.

Inside the System, she crosses paths with Alex, a former naval commander tied to her forgotten past. As they fight to survive, the spark between them reignites, growing into a powerful bond neither expected. Joined by a group of unlikely allies, they begin unraveling the simulation's darkest secrets and the terrifying plan that extends far beyond its digital walls.

But escaping the System won't guarantee their safety. And in a world built on control, the group uncovers a horrifying truth, that no one was ever meant to escape.All Rights Reserved

The Name I Remember by DaggerOne

"Some people are taken. Some are used. But some... come back fighting." He gave up the war for her. Then the world took her away. Lucas Wren buried the blade when he found something worth living for. When Leona disappeared, the silence left behind was louder than any gunfire. But she wasn't gone. Not really. She was taken - reshaped, repurposed, and almost erased. What began as a rescue has become something far more dangerous: A reckoning with the past. A confrontation with the man who once showed him the way out - and may now be pulling him back in. As memories return and choices sharpen, Lucas must decide: Does he fight to protect what's left... or burn everything down to bury what was stolen?

The Shadow Between Us by KJoffical

I was an experiment from the moment I was born. Alina has spent years trying to bury the truth of where she came from - the secret program that built her, tested her, and marked her as something less than human. She almost believed she could live a normal life. When her world is shattered, Alina finds herself hunted by a ghost she thought she left behind. Forced to trust Jack, the boy who was never supposed to know her secrets, she is pulled into a fight for survival against an organization that should not exist. The deeper they run, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Jack wants to protect her. Mala wants to save her. Alina is left with one impossible choice: cling to the life she built or embrace the one she was never meant to survive.

White Crystal Butterflies | Wattys 2021 Shortlist | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.

A Silent Assassin by NoctisX

They thought it was just another day at school... until the doors locked, the alarms silenced, and strangers armed with technology beyond imagination took control. Students laughed at first-until the first body hit the floor. Now trapped in an underground base, each student faces a chilling fate: trained as weapons, their consciousness transferred into bodies not their own. Among them is a girl already fractured by the weight of her past. Quiet, detached, yet clinging to the few things that keep her human, she sees every move like a game of survival. In a world where trust is deadly and freedom is an illusion, she must decide-will she remain a pawn in their twisted plan, or become the assassin they never saw coming?

They Made Us Monsters by Niyah7212

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.

Aberrant by RJGlynn

Wattys 2021 Short List. Shipwrecked on a criminal-infested mining colony, military telepath Reid Kaplan needs answers about the attack on his ship and the unusual alien activity on the planet he's stranded on. Unfortunately, some of those answers might lie in a mind as unique as it is dangerously flawed. Customs inspector Jinsin Koel is used to having guns pointed at her head - but not ones attached to weapon-heavy cyborg insects who consider her lower on the food chain. The Xykeree, past enemies of humanity, should never have been allowed to dock at her home port. And they're just the start of her problems. Throw in a hereditary neurological illness and a secret society of soldiers genetically tailored for psionic combat and she has herself a whole new level of trouble ... the kind that could destroy her personal foundations and imperil billions of lives. Complete novel (word count approx. 115,600; no cliffhanger ending) Action adventure, space opera Reader advisory: strong language, violence/horror, sexual content UK spelling

The world as we know it ended 209 years ago. From a desert wasteland springs a single kingdom, ruled by a tyrannical King and trapped in an endless war against the shadowy desert warriors. As a desperate bid to save what remains of humanity, society has been split into two distinct classes, nicknamed the Court and the Commons. For an oppressed population on the brink of revolution, a common thief could be the last hope. Up until now, Kay has survived by her wits alone.

Using the city's rooftops as her personal domain, she manages to keep one step ahead of the King with one hand buried in the purses of the courtiers. Driven by the plight of the commoners and the unjust death of her family, Kay seizes the chance to graduate from small-time thievery to full-scale rebellion. Her opportunity comes in the form of Will, a wealthy ex-soldier with a dark past. Plucked from the streets and thrown into the shimmering palace court, Kay must use her every strength to blend into a world where she doesn't belong, closer to the enemy than she ever thought she would be.

Down Under by AmyMarieZ

|WATTYS 2022 WINNER - HORROR| Shawn, a convicted criminal, never thought she'd see the sun again, let alone call another star system her home. When she's offered an out from her prison sentence, she embarks on a dangerous interstellar expedition along with 18 of Earth's most intelligent criminals. Their task is to set up a base on a supposedly habitable planet and prepare it for colonization. Although the planet has liquid water and a breathable atmosphere, it is believed to host only microbial life. However, upon arriving, Shawn and the rest of the colonists learn that assumption was grossly incorrect. In a brutal attack from rampaging wildlife, everyone but Shawn and four other colonists are killed. The five survivors retreat to the cavernous network beneath the ground seeking safety, but they soon come to a terrible discovery. These caves aren't ordinary caves, and they are no safer down under than they were on the surface. [][][] This was originally my entry for the 2021 Open Novella Contest, and it received an honorable mention! It has now been expanded into a full length novel. I used prompt number 53: "When wildlife starts rampaging, all the humans are forced underground. However, they come to a terrible discovery that being underground is no safer than being on the surface."
