Life is strange.
Maybe life is just funny. Thinking of how it all changed so quickly. How the world, once so lively and full of color, suddenly went grey overnight.
It was scary. You'd think zombies came. At least if it were zombies, we'd have more of a chance. People could outrun them, outsmart them-use guns to kill them. Vaccines against viruses could be created.
This was another level.
How do you outsmart a supercomputer? An AI? Nothing you think of hasn't already been calculated across all the possibilities humans could try to stop an AI invasion.
The fact that I knew there was no way to beat this-other than running and hiding for the rest of our lives-meant I was one less person trying to fight.
I could bet I wasn't the only one who couldn't see a way to outsmart a supercomputer.
This was the end-yet still...
Here he was.
Bent over the device.
He didn't want to give up like the rest of us. Maybe that was just the soldier in him. Fight it out until his last breath.
Nevertheless, he was humanity's hope.
He had more faith than I did.
____________
Bluegate Town is quiet. Too quiet. Until the world starts to unravel. Digital systems crash, devices go dark, and whispers of a coordinated cyber invasion hint at something far deadlier than anyone expects.
Flavia Starcy is reckless, untrusting, and impossible to ignore. Hint is a discharged soldier, scarred by war and struggling to find his place in a world that's already falling apart. When their paths collide, sparks fly- anger, attraction, and a dangerous game of mind and heart that neither can walk away from.
But as malware spreads and the digital world teeters on the edge, their personal war becomes part of something much larger: an invasion that could end the world as they know it. Survival will take more than skill, more than luck-it will take the courage to face what's coming... together.

Kadota (Love Trilogy)
In the quiet desert village of Dey, living among the sand dunes and mirages, existed an anomaly - me. I was different, born without the ability to read, write or keep long memories. My scientist father hailed my uniqueness as a miracle, but my life was far from ordinary. To the village, I was just an oddity, a walking puzzle with missing pieces. My only solace was my best friend, always standing by me, his unspoken love for me etched in his affectionate gaze. We lived under a cruel regime with a population no more than a hundred. Every year, one of us would be chosen on the Counting Day, a ceremonious banishing ritual, to become yet another outcast to the floating prison island far off in the ocean - our village's dreaded version of population control. Our past criminals, defiant to government, and more terrifyingly, our loved ones gone missing, were thought to inhabit that island, their fate, a terrifying enigma. This year, as the Counting Day approached unrelentingly, and my loved one's life rested on borrowed time, I made a decision. I volunteered to be casted out. It was my turn to face the unknown with a hidden purpose - to locate my lost father who was sent there years ago.Kumpleto

Terith
"If the Terithian people could be described as a small child or lonely lamb, then SWARM would be a hungry lion, lustfully licking its teeth." A small group of people journeyed from Earth to the planet Terith hoping for a more peaceful life. No one foresaw the divisions that would manifest between those who wanted to encourage growth and prosperity for all and those who wanted Terith only for personal gain. SWARM arose like a snake under a rock, devastating us in the course of a few hours. I was caught in the middle, determined to stop them from ruining the only home I've ever known. I knew I couldn't take the might of SWARM on my own, so I recruited my friends to help me. Given aid by them, along with the Varius, a special gift from my father, we were willing to do just about anything to end SWARM. But before I seem like a hero, it might be worth mentioning that this all started because of a girl - I was only human, after all. She was everything I didn't know I needed. I don't regret that it started this way, but I will forever regret what this fight cost me. She helped me realize that a good portion of the evil I was fighting...was hiding in my own heart.Kumpleto
