Taking place in the midst of the War of Cybernetics, the young and feeble Alan finds himself in a grim situation. A situation that causes him to leave his hometown with a group of the King's army known as The Collectors - people whose soul purpose is to collect kids in each town of the Kingdom to draft them into the war.

That is when Alan realizes the full extent of the tactics that are being used in the war. Tactics that involve taking over a person's will and transforming them into monsters, enlightened to the point of madness. Their transformation is based off of the gas in which they had inhaled, and they are classified into four categories: Witches, Enlightened, Giants, and Grazers. 

With the help of a scientist who takes the bodies of dead individuals and turns them into robotic soldiers, Alan must convince the newly-appointed Emperor to revoke the Collection Process in favor of said robots.

Lost Soul's Escapades (Wattpad Release) by J-Win-Writesss

A man, stolen from his life, his memories erased by years of torment. No home to return to, no name to claim, no one to remember him... Everything reduced to nothing. In a world where humanity's depravity has reduced everything to nothing, will he find a reason to live? What about you? Will you persist, or will you hang yourself knowing nothing will change? What to expect: > Stoic MC > Character-centric story > Fantasy elements (if that's not already obvious) > Sci-fi elements (physics be damned!) > Warfare > Leaning into psychology > Simplified military doctrines, tactics, and operations (don't confuse the three!) > Romance...? Maybe.

Alex in Wunderstrande: The Clairvoyance Clock [BOOK ONE] by kalelawrence

Things are never as they seem. [Highest Rank: #41 Steampunk, #22 Dieselpunk]] For seventeen-year old Alexander Rosengrant, the recent war in Wunderstrande was anything but victorious.

MergePunk: An Ooorah & WattpadPunkFiction Anthology by LayethTheSmackDown

In this latest @Ooorah anthology, we team up with Wattpad's own @WattpadPunkFiction. Inspired by a round theme from our Wattpad-famous SmackDowns, sci-fi writers will be challenged to craft a kickass story with one cardinal rule: They must first randomly generate and then merge a -Punk sub-genre and a non-Punk sub-genre. From now on we shall call this noble goal... MergePunk!

Tevun-Krus #120 - MergePunk by Ooorah

With MergePunk we return to a TK favourite - first covered in one of our trademarked SmackDown challenges, then appearing in an anthology we co-ran with an Ambassador-run Wattpad profile, MergePunk is all about merging one Punk subgenre with a non-Punk subgenre. Or several of them CatPunk meets First Contact? Time Travel x DreamPunk? AncientPunk and Superhuman SF? The possibilities are endless!

Shadow and Steel by FHLevin

🏆 Chosen as Sci-Fi Story of the Month by Wattpad's @ScienceFiction. 🏆 Featured on Wattpad's @ShortStory. 🏆X3 Awarded Best Science Fiction 🏆 Chosen as Book of the Month by @CroodsGirl Shadow and Steel: A Sci-Fi Short Story Series. In a time when mankind has reached the stars, the light of progress does not shine upon all. On the fringes of known space, survival is a brutal dance of skill, cunning, and ruthlessness. Meet a hustler chasing the next score; a doctor trying to mend a broken world; an enforcer wrestling his demons; and a pilot who bends the rules of the sky. Each fights their own battles, until their lives become entangled in a web of dangerous alliances, shifting loyalties, and interstellar power struggles. Caught between blaster shoot-outs, high-speed starship chases and an unforgiving universe that devours the weak, the line between good and evil is as blurred as the stars themselves. Because in the dark corners of space, you either bleed out in Shadow or carve your path on Steel. Content Warning: This series contains violence, gore, death, harassment, strong language, drug use, psychological trauma, and mature situations. Reader discretion is advised.

Cyber Witch by wdhenning

Years ago when a young orphaned girl, advanced cybernetics were surgically installed into Avia's brain. Able to hack into virtually any computer, control system, or AI, she and others like her became child soldiers in an interstellar war. But once the war was won, the Sol Federation turned on them, labeling them Aberrants, dangers to humanity to be deactivated and locked away. Now on the run, Avia fled from a fate she considered worse than death. Zach, a former rebellious member of the social Elite, traded jail time for bounty hunting. With a relentlessness Avia did not understand, he pursued her across the galaxy. But Zach had other plans for Avia than turning her in. All Avia ever wanted was a normal life someplace where she was loved, and she loved in return. But between a humanity threatening conspiracy and fellow Aberrants that truly earned the label, that seemed an impossible dream.

Tevun-Krus #70 - Punk Wars II by Ooorah
