What if how you were destined to live was determined by when you were destined to die?

  For those who have numerous decades, life holds infinite opportunity to live like gods.
  
  Experience the near-future as seen through the different perspectives of the various classes within The Syndicate. How does a Class 2 Citizen live compared to a Class 9? It is a future that could very well be our own wherein technology could be our greatest savior, and our greatest subjugator.

My Master Also My Mate by Envyxthexplague

Book 1 in the Blood Series (Under construction and editing) Prologue The full moon lurked over a town called Raven-wood Hills. This was a type of nightmare humans called The Dead Night. No one came out after dark when a full moon raked over the town. This night had been initiated in the early centuries when the pack entered the town. This was a night that the werewolves ruled the streets. They would roam around the town after the sun had fallen and the moon rose. Rumors of murders and the legends of werewolves roaming the streets had spread like wildfire. Yet some have tested that we don't really exist in "their" so-called world and they have perished in an instant. Some lucky ones who were blessed by the grace of the Alpha have survived and spoke about their experiences. One man, in particular, had a more interesting story than the others. The man had finally come out of hiding and spoke of the horrors he had witnessed. Oh, the horrors of a wolf that never leaves the Alpha's side. The man swears on his life he had seen Satan himself inside the she-wolf, he told the town that she was under the alpha's power doing exactly what he has asked of her. The man told the horror of what she would do with men and women who would cross her alpha, and he described this she-wolf as a gorgeous woman, her beauty was so alluring yet the coldness and hate in her eyes rendered you from getting near her. She had to be a Siren crossed breed, the man said. An evil temptress on land, the only horror that walked this earth. He warned the town. "Do not tempt and belittle the Alpha of the werewolves for, you will be placed under a spell of fear and death of this Siren Demon."

Forest of Lies by Talespinner56

A thousand years past, the world was run by humankind. But it changed, when countries became embroiled in a war that gave the werewolves the opportunity, to recreate the earth in their own image. Now humans are the lowest on the food chain, little more than animals to the hellish overlords. Now the humans hide in the forests and mountains, while the werewolves live in the elegance of the great prosperous walled cities. Clothed in luxury, while their counterparts starve in the wilderness. A truth that can't be denied by Nyx, the scarred and gifted daughter of a village shaman. Living in the forests of the once great Northeast of North America. Days are long and hard for her village, scraping bye for game and medicinal plants. Praying for salvation, from the iron hand of the werewolves that rule them all. Alpha Evander has grown desperate to help his pack. The Howlers of the Silver City, have seen a decrease in population for decades. The only solution, is to find more mates, and humans have been revealed to be a match for the monsters. Foretold by the Great Priestess of the Moon, an omen of doom for all free humans left in the wild wood. Through fate, Nyx will come across the wolfen brute. By blood, she will defend her people from this formidable horde. With courage, she will face off against destiny, loss, and unwanted love. All while Evander, plots to break the humans' pride. Searching for the very girl that will thwart him at every turn. Hunting her down, till one of them finally breaks. ⚠️Trigger warning!

The experiment. by shrosz

They used my vulnerability against me. They used that weapon, to make me accept their stupid idea. And I of course, accepted it, I didn't even know what they were going to do. They tugged and poked and even shoved their disgusting finger in your wound, just to see you cry. To see you change. No pitty in their eyes. They just continue. They drag you around with metal chains, hit you and turn you into a experiment. But I had enough of the tugging, the clawing, the moaning, the crying and pleading for them to stop, but simply feeding them with our pain. They turned me into something, that neither do they know what I am. Their afraid of me, of my reflexes, my strength. I killed a lot of them. They say I have a cold heart, that I don't feel nothing. That's why they call me: Death -----------------------------------------************************************--------------------------------------------- Death.

Glory in War: BURIED TRUTH (Part 3) by Hirokatsu800

"Glory in War" is an ongoing project with the goal of becoming a potential animated series in the future. Any feedback, review or even comment are welcomed and could help into the story's delivery. For more information, please consider visiting the "WELCOME" Page before starting. OVERALL DESCRIPTION: Legends tell of a war that has brought misery upon our lands, separating us from the united civilisation we once carved into the sand gifted by the suns. It was worse than a punishment from the gods, with the souls of the fallen ones still remaining to fight for the honour and protection of the home they once had, for their stories lost among the land of war, and for the glory they have given in exchange of the blade of memories, witness to their sins, losing themselves into the chaos of fate. Now, only the new generations are capable of changing this chaos and bring peace into our lands. We can only hope that the gods have written our peaceful ending into our fate. PART DESCRIPTION: The third part of "Glory in War" focuses on finding the reality behind the secrets and lies that we've been hearing of ever since the beginning of this tale. A letter was sent from Past towards the Future, to which those who received it have decided to decipher this strange last will in order to find the answer behind their world and fate. But when the journey for the truth begins, it won't take long before even more questions will make their way into their lives. CONTENT WARNING: This story contains strong language and dives into subjects such as violence, gore, death, abuse, slavery, cannibalism and mentions of rape. Reader discretion is advised.

The Last Avian Soldier (The Nine Realms Universe) by ren_writes_words

We're all pawns in this game played by those on top. From the moment we can process what they're telling us, we're led to believe that we must kneel before superiority. Bow our heads to the kings and queens, the powerful men and women who sit high on their thrones. To them, we are nothing but tools, obstacles, and threats. For this life is nothing but a constant battle between immortals. The individuals on the pedestals, and the ones in the dirt. So, how may we get out? How much blood will be spilled, tears shed, final breaths taken, before this is all over? People are lost in the game. They don't come back. Sons and daughters, parents, siblings... all slaughtered in this power play. Through all of this I have lost. I walk upon the shattered past left in my wake. I wish for death to finally arrive, but it never does. There's a crown of death atop my head and there's nothing I can do to change it. We were ready to make a difference. When death came to our doorstep we refused to let it take us, not without a fight, but it was a futile attempt. No one can stand in the way of a king starved for the power of it all. Tainted by ambition and violence. And with that, two thousand soldiers drew their swords for a war they would not win.

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

The Lost and the Dead Book 1: The Uprising by BountyHunterVick1230

It has been many years since mankind has seen the horrors that was the Uprising: an unforeseen event which has caused mankind's demise, as the unknown virus spreads like a wildfire all throughout the globe while humanity turns on itself in order to survive, leaving those unlucky face-to-face with the virus to turn into ravenous, cannibalistic zombies. In the old ruins of North America, it has turned into a lawless land where the zombies prey on the weak with the thugs and criminals lurking around the corners to pick off what remains. However, through the hellfires of the apocalypse, a legend was born out from redemption, revenge and determination; a bounty hunter named Hunter Vick. Join him on his journey as he travels through the vast wastelands in order to stop a civil war between his two biggest clients, uncover the secrets of a hidden faction which threatens to destroy everything, and overcome a personal obstacle which has haunted him for years. With the weight of the world on his shoulders, Hunter is the lone ranger, the only one that could possibly save everyone from their eventual demise if nothing changes. He will have to overcome some of the greatest obstacles in his life from mutations to Hunter killers to morale questionings. Can Hunter muster the strength required to save everyone, or will he fall like the billions of other survivors before him? He doesn't have much time, his sanity is running out, and his will to live will be put to the ultimate test in what it truly means to live up to your fate and destiny. But it doesn't really matter now, because in this cruel, twisted world, there are two types of people: the ones who are lost, and the ones who are dead.

Tipped fingers by pinkil0v

7 Criminals around Russia, Korea, and Japan were all sent to a certain jail in America, "The Unwanted", for having unique diseases that have never been heard of before. Instead of being sent to death, each day they're experimented on by the doctors of the prison. This is to find the demanding cure of the diseases that everyone has been wanting, more specifically the News and social media, to know. An example of the experiments would be the doctors injecting different "vaccines" into the sickened's skin, to see if it helps them or defects them. They get the results back once they draw blood from the tested, diseased subject. They're trapped in cells most of the day after their testing, meaning they're rarely ever out of the cells after being "experimented" on. If they were to disobey this law, then they would be sent to the electric chair. They wouldn't send enough bolts to their heads to kill them though, they just severely damage their health and the way they mentally function. Unfortunately, their memories were whipped out, by the nurses, to the extent of their crimes and people they knew before prison. This leaves the diseased to try and find out why they're there and who they knew before this. Of course, the Nurses don't want this because after the sickened kids committed their crimes, they wanted to commit suicide for an unknown reason. They, the doctors and police, need them alive to find the cure and reason for their diseases to avoid them from spreading or occurring again. Will they be cured or is this thing a whole scheme just to torture some murderers? Who will die or eventually snap? Will the criminals ever find out who they truly were or who they knew? Read to find out.

The Anthem of the Castaway by MyPasswordIs

"Doesn't seem to work now that my DNA is so fucked I can't heal." I say to him, rolling my eyes. "So you agree that it is a change in your DNA?" Charlie says to me. "I don't know." I huff, angry at this whole debate. "I can't deal with humans fucking up every effort I have to live happy." "Does Father ever let you stay in Heaven?" "Only half the time." "And what do you do in Heaven?" "I fight. Sword fighting mostly, it's a big attraction. Our sword fights are as popular there as football is here." "Football?" He asks, his eyebrows raised. "Ugh, wrong era. Whatever." I respond, rolling my eyes at my own stupidity. A sudden hitch in my breath causes me to cough more, another clump of clotted blood coming forward into the towel I offer. "Life on earth is just a revolving door of wars, fighting, finding out angels exist, fighting over it, killing everyone that remembers, then back to the industrial revolution again. And there's almost always times when angels are outlawed and locked up." "Back to your problem though, do you agree that God may be trying to train you? Or maybe he's using you to remove the villains from society?" "The latter holds some truth. After all, I do get dumped into the human society when everything is going to shit." "Do you ever do wrong in Gods eyes? Maybe he's putting you down here to clean up society as a punishment." Book 4, yep I skipped one. Each book stands on its own. It's good to read the first before, but not necessary. I use wattpad as a back-up of my typed stories. I have so much more hand written, and if you truly are interested I will totally type more or even upload pictures of each page written.

The Detective: It's Your End by THUNkJASH

What does it feel like, when the world's fate is in your hands? When people are getting killed, continuously. Is it possible, to share those thoughts? Or you'd rather be alone? When the first shock to humanity hit them, after being so developed, it changed the world. Triggering the big associations, who stood up, to eradicate and remove the rebellion, made it doubtable if it existed. A team is appointed, with a motive so powerful, that it would surely move mountains. But it won't be easy enough, if only the trust of having someone's back, would be made. Will the team, be able, to store all the emotions, or will they break through? Will they be able to comprehend, the inextinguishable fire, against humanity? It is a race, of one's end.
