It's the year 3001, and 16-year-old Katrina St. Claire has MUCH more to worry about than boys, school, and friend drama, although she wishes she didn't. For a few years now, the humans have been outnumbered by Earth's newest creation: Namuhs. These sub-human "robot-like" creatures think they have everything anyone could ever want: to be immortal. Who needs body parts when you can simply be programmed by computers and forget the worry of getting hurt (physically and emotionally) or losing your life? It's concerning to the humans that the Namuh species lacks emotion and feeling, that they feel as if every person needs to be able to enjoy life to the fullest. As more and more humans are getting the surgery, the St. Claire family promises to stand together as one, and to escape the conversion, even if they're sent to the Human Homes Community once their kind drops to only 50. But how easy will this be? Furthermore, why is everyone so tempted by these creatures? The St. Claire's will have to go figure out the deep underlying secrets that Namuhs are hiding, and try to convince the remaining of their kind to not make the biggest mistake of their lives.

*REUPLOADED as the published version of the story* In a world full of super-powered individuals, comic books have become real life. Superheroes and villains have epic battles in the streets, aliens dash through the skies, and everyday people have their daily lives hindered due to collateral damage. That's just the norm that everyone has grown used to. It's a new age of young supers rising to the top, and New Elysium City is the epicenter for this new generation. The paths that they take will carefully carve out the fate of their metropolis they call home. Some may choose to be the very face of good and justice, while others may instead take a darker turn. And the rest? Well, they're perhaps just a bit disgruntled and tired. With a new hero team in the making, they all must overcome their own trials in order to work together successfully. Hopefully, they can do it in time to stop the new wave of villains as crime in New Elysium truly never ceases. But will they be able to properly balance their real lives with their secret identities? Or will the weight of the world come crashing down around them?
