The City Of Cenopolis by JackTheTripperr

In a world where the mega-corporation Nexus has seized control over every facet of society, the city of Cenopolis stands as the shining beacon of humanity's future-or so it seems. Behind the utopian facade lies a system built on manipulation, surveillance, and corruption, with the neural chip technology once hailed as the savior of mankind now acting as a tool for absolute control. Eli, Luke, and Sam, three unlikely allies from the underground resistance, know the truth about Nexus. Haunted by personal losses and driven by a desire to reclaim freedom, they embark on a dangerous mission to expose the sinister reality behind Cenopolis. But in a world where power is absolute and rebellion is a death sentence, their journey will test their loyalty, courage, and faith in one another. As they uncover Nexus's darkest secrets, they must confront the question: Can true freedom ever be achieved, or will power always rise from the ashes?

Temptation by jezxzica

He reaches into his collar with two fingers and tugs it away from his sweaty neck. I pry into his presence until I can't any longer. He understood every damn word I just said to him, so his terrified eyes are piercing into mine. "What on Earth are you doing Adira?" he struggles to ask me. The fight against this gift is similar to the fight against mind control, except you have to battle your own urge for relief as well. After all this time I've spent seducing him, he should know exactly what I am now. -------------------------- 2102 is quiet the leap in time. Intergalactic travel, aliens, and even powers are what the world becomes known for. There is still a normal, functioning society to account for though. One ruled by an unfair leader that most of the country detests. When Adira Stefano finally gets her long awaited gift, she fears being forced into hiding. However, when she discovers someone that has faith in her, she realizes that true change is her new daunting temptation.

Orphaned at the tender age of twelve, she doesn't want anything to do with the Color War; a decades long war being waged between the vicious King of the new world and the magic users of the past.

Jax has everyone. Prince of the new world, he has no understanding of the war that rages outside the kingdom walls. After the violent death of his childhood tutor, Jax begins to realize the world around him is slowly spinning into all out chaos - and that he doesn't want to be King if his only legacy is cruelty. Their fates are inevitably intertwined, and together, Athena and Jax will be forced to face a prophecy that could leave their country in ruin or usher it into a new era of peace.

Clashing Obsessions by caffeineandcomputers

A tech-saavy cyborg with too much time on her hands. A quick-thinking detective with a fascinating new case. A mad scientist on the verge of a groundbreaking advancement. A young girl wants nothing more than to lead an interesting life, but is constantly faced with empty time and incessant boredom. When she turns to computers to pass the time, she quickly finds herself entangled in a world of less-than-legal programming, soon earning a reputation as an exceptional hacker. When she discovers someone else with a mind like hers, it doesn't take long for her to become preoccupied by the mystery of him, and she longs to find out his identity. Unfortunately, a clever international detective is a little too determined to track her down, and a scientist with a disregard for ethics has other plans for her, involving an experiment that he believes could revolutionize humanity, but at what cost? Three people, three stories, three obsessions, intertwined in this sci-fi tale set in a cyberpunk-inspired world in the year 2120. What do teenage hacker Kalix Raven, UNBI Agent Rachel Cassanova, and Dr. Rovart Blayne all have in common? They're all a little obsessed. (Book 1 of 3) [Watty's 2022 Shortlist]
