A few months ago, Cesar Castell was an expert EXO-suit pilot, and if his future was perhaps not exactly rosy, it at least existed.  But now he finds himself deserted, demoted and transported to Outpost 44 ("The Crag") - and that's just the start. There's rebellion brewing under the island's skin and Cesar is very, very alone out here.

Runaway World by IanReeve216

During the final decades of the twenty first century, a rogue brown dwarf star passed through the solar system and its gravity threw the Earth out of orbit around the sun. Two hundred years later, when the atmosphere has finished freezing onto the surface, explorers from the last refuge of humanity venture out to see what's become of their world. Things looks bleak. Mankind faces a future of huddling in whatever warm refuges it can make for itself until the Earth's core goes cold, but then a discovery is made. An opportunity exists for mankind to leave the planet and find its destiny among the stars, but to do so requires an all or nothing gamble and losing would mean the end of the human race. Some want to take the gamble. Others don't, and so conflict and violence breaks out as the survey teams explore a planet transformed out of all recognition...

Evergreen: Divided Skies by MrsGhostwriter

A hundred years after wars and pandemics destroyed most of humanity, the country of Evergreen stands behind towering walls - safe, isolated, and divided. Inside the High City, Stella lives a life of privilege, surrounded by wealth and comfort under the shining towers of Green Corp - the last surviving tech conglomerate. Thirty kilometers away, beyond another wall, Jake, a mechanic from the Low City, repairs the robots that keep Evergreen running, unaware of the secrets buried beneath their circuits. And in the shadows of Red Comet, Lesley, a 17-year-old orphan caught in illegal trades, dreams of freedom he's never known. Their worlds were never meant to meet. But when the balance inside Evergreen begins to crumble, the skies that divide them may finally reveal the truth that could change everything - or destroy what's left of it.

They have spent decades developing their "God Descent Plan" - to steal the North American server of the super artificial intelligence "Eden", download it into the body of a male human "Adam", tame and control him, and use him against the omniscient "God". Zhang Xun, an unmarried tech nerd, was fortunate (unfortunate?) to be in charge of the final stage of the plan - to be responsible for maintaining and taming Adam. Now he was facing a life form with a human body and a mechanical brain, a reverse version of Ghost in the Shell, and Zhang Xun's life was plunged into confusion and chaos, and in the struggle to control or be controlled, his life became exhausting.

Reboot by MarCafeWrites

"The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race. It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate.

And when they came back on, people with mind powers came forward to rule the former United States. Other countries figured out how to work with these people. But, in the new country of Avalon, those with powers were in power. Beatrix belongs to a group of rebels who want to over-throw the government. But, as Beatrix's responsibilities grow, it becomes apparent that one group just wants to take over for the other. She is unsure how she fits in. And how the new husband that was forced on her fits in to everything else.

Mirror Sky. Part 1 - Blissful Nemesis by pwkos171

The future is predetermined. It can't be changed. But who casts the future in stone? It's you, me, and every one of us. The iron grip of our fate doesn't come from gods or physics but from us. You are oppressed by your future self to walk the one and only road. Knowing the future changes nothing - this knowledge has already been written into your fate. Time travel is meaningless for the same reason - all your meddlings had also become a part of your fate before you even embarked on your journey through time. Could this strange duality of free will and fate be challenged? If so, what would it take? How far are you willing to go to change your dark fate? Is the risk of erasing the universe from existence worth your brighter future?

Trepidation: Act 1 by CashewNutt12

10,000 years in the future, humanity has long since inhabited a region of space simply known as the "Habitable Zone of the Milky Way," or simply the "Habitable Zone." Many advancements have been made, though many are irrelevant to the billions - or perhaps more - of souls scattered across space. Everything operates under the silent, vague, but present scrutiny of the gods, with thaumaturgic talents dominating many human cultures in some capacity. Churches reign over the post-Altarum territories a century after the Silence. The World, at least as far as many within the Habitable Zone are concerned, is a cold, thoughtless plane of existence. It is within a single vessel, known as the CSS Groundskeeper, do things begin to influence the "Things To Be," as labeled by followers of the pantheon. Within this ship, two individuals will face the beginning of what is to be unimaginable horrors within an unforgiving universe, both with the same goal: do not succumb to the darkness. Trepidation: Act I is the first story in what is to be a much longer novel detailing the story of two individuals in the cold universe. Act I may contain disturbing content for some readers. Special thanks to Lilian (liliantherat@bsky.social) Elise S. (Seventh Bean) Colt Klassic C.W.K. Peregrine Nasturtium_K Chaz Shade For inspiration and your characters for novel adaptation. Trepidation, Act I and future acts, would not be possible without all of you. (I am awestruck at how well this has done. The read to vote ratio is something I never could have expected, and I thank both my friends and all new readers for current and continued support, even if the support is merely reading. Seriously, thank you.)

Away by Jaytheblue

It all started when they turned ten, the age that automatically put them under the Civils watch. They were all rounded up from their care units, like a herd of cows. One by one, they entered a room. The room where they lost the one thing that mattered to them the most. They woke up hours later on a worn down mattress and had a precious sense taken away from them. Some lost their sight and all lost their hope. Just so they wouldn't try to run. Clover and Jack were just regular citizens in Amara, and were used to being taunted and misused by their cruel leaders. Life without a 'normal' ability made their bulling worse. What if Clover and Jack were to escape past the massive stone walls of Amara? What if they were to get away?

After Moses by MichaelFKane

He's always been a loner, but as the years go on and the solar system grows ever more dangerous, the time has come that he'll have to either find a crew or perish. When the specter of Matthew's past comes back to haunt him, his new crew will have to come together around their captain. They'll find that he is a rare kind of man, a man with principles. And that might be just what humanity needs.
