Five hundred years after a nuclear strike turned a thriving city into a sealed-off wasteland, the survivors live in fear of the Basilisks - massive, genetically-engineered snakes created from a failed experiment to end world hunger.
Drew has lived his entire life on the edge of the Dome, scraping by in silence and solitude. But when a Basilisk crashes through his home, everything changes. Forced into the ruins of a forgotten world, Drew uncovers ancient stones pulsing with mysterious symbols and unimaginable power - one of which embeds itself in his palm.
Now hunted, injured, and utterly unprepared, Drew must survive alongside Maria - a fierce survivor with powers of her own and secrets to match. Together, they'll uncover the truth behind the Basilisks, the gems, and the fate of the world buried beneath centuries of rubble and regret.
Because in a city sealed off from hope, the only way to survive... is to run.

Synthetic Eden
In a not-so-distant future where genius is currency and ambition can be weaponized, Synthetic Eden follows Kara Wynn, a brilliant university student whose mind is her greatest asset-and possibly her undoing. Driven by the need to prove herself in a world that values perfection over humanity, Kara juggles her rigorous academic life and her quiet grief with sharp intellect and stubborn will. But something is off beneath the surface of her carefully ordered life. Electronic glitches, a blinking red light hidden in her desk, and an increasing sense that she is being watched all point to something far more insidious. When whispers of a groundbreaking, elite program begin to circulate-one that promises to recognize the world's most exceptional minds-Kara doesn't suspect she's already on the list. As she and others are unknowingly drawn into what seems like a prestigious selection process, the truth unfolds with horrifying precision: it was never a competition. It was a culling. Humans and animals alike, taken under the guise of opportunity, are thrown into secret experimentation, each subject forced to evolve-or perish. Kara's only constant is Dr. Jun Seo, a stoic, enigmatic scientist whose fascination with her runs deeper than professional curiosity. Their growing connection becomes both sanctuary and danger, especially as Kara begins to piece together fragments of the truth. In the end, the greatest betrayal isn't the experiment itself-but the person orchestrating it. What if Eden wasn't paradise, but a controlled illusion? And what if the price of survival is the destruction of everything human?Complete

First to Rise (Excerpt)
The aliens came here for one thing, and one thing only.... Females. ( This story is only available through inkitt or galatea!!!) (some read events may apply) (check update chapter for more details!) Humans believed they were the only intelligent life to exist... that it was impossible for another species to evolve in a way where they could prevail in something as great as space travel. humans believed they were supposed to be the most technologically advanced species and the alpha predators... They were wrong. The Xandisians evolved in ways humans never could have imagined, they are natural-born killers with phenomenal strength and agility. Their kind never went through the same devolution as humans, they never lost their natural instincts to hunt, kill, or breed. With their limitless potential and monstrous strength, they faced few threats and could survive almost any threat that befall their species, almost. After an incurable sickness washes over the planet of xanadis, the majority of the female, young and elderly, and vulnerable population is all but wiped out, leaving a small portion of the male population to face the threat of extinction. With no choice but to look to the stars for a means to save their kind from complete annihilation, the xandisians set out to find a race compatible with their own. after many years and countless failed expeditions, they finally find a species that matches their base DNA on a planet called Earth. The only issue now is how humans will react.
