alyssa dystopian outcasted pandora perfectworld sci-fi society tragedy

Alyssa is a product of the Society; the only city left on what remains of Planet Earth. She has spent the first sixteen years of her life learning, training, and conditioning herself for life inside of a city based on perfection. Only the best stay in, and the rest get out. Her life has been nothing more than a competition to see who will get the coveted spots as a citizen of this perfect world. Failure means expulsion from the city walls, and death in the vast nothingness that makes up the rest of the planet.

With citizenship finally within her grasp, Alyssa finds herself ensnared within the scheme of a rebel resistance, learning and seeing things that she was never supposed to know. Threatened with expulsion, she'll do anything to have the slate wiped clean, so the Society offers her a single chance at redemption.

Now, she must find the rebels, the few survivors that managed to make a life outside of the Society, and bring them back for rehabilitation before they can start a revolution. But the resistance is nothing like she could have ever expected; and piece by piece, the world begins to come crumbling down.

Special Agent Alyssa Caine has been tasked with the most important mission of her life: the assassination of the man who would bring about the end of the world. The only problem? He is already dead. A minor issue that is resolved in the year 2157 when a renegade group of scientists develops a device that allows to jump through time. They recruit the former special agent to send her back fifty years, to take just one man out of the equation, a minimal change with a predicted maximal effect on the fate of the world, and prevent a devastating war that has driven the last surviving humans to live in decrepit underground bunkers. Every action has a consequence. Alyssa is humanity's last hope, and her actions will determine the fate of the whole world. She is willing to sacrifice everything for a better future. But she soon realizes that the impact of her actions might be beyond her control, and beyond all predictions. _____ Highest Rankings: #16 in Science [06.02.2019] #36 in Dystopia [06.02.2019] #65 in FemaleProtagonist [01.02.2019] #71 in TimeTravel [06.02.2019] #1 in Paradox [28.02.2019] #1 in ONC2019 [01.02.2019] #3 in OpenNovellaContest2019 [28.02.2019] This is my entry for the ONC 2019!

Beyond Our Control by craftladybachelor

In a dystopian world where society has long since evolved to perfection, those born are given an examination test to see if they pass the biological and innate requirements for living in the perfect society. Those who fail are luckily given a second chance to prove themselves, where they are allowed to be raised in dorms that are ostracized from the rest of society. They have eighteen years as they live with six other girls, separated into dorms and ages and gender. Kenna is sixteen, two more years from becoming eighteen where she will be retested to see if she can go back to living into the perfect society and find her place once again. Although her best friend, Lina, has mysteriously betrayed her for unknown reasons, where she is sent away to the Adjustment Center, a place that seems doomed for failure where everyone who has broken the rules are casted out to... PS: I wrote this five years ago (it is complete) and it's unedited so it may be written badly! The synopsis may be a bit different than the actual story, and this is supposed to be gxg but it isn't exactly a love story but there are some elements of it... - Very toxic and emotional damage so read at your own risk! - TW: Homophobia, manipulation, death

A Book About Quinn by jonnydapoet

"A Book About Quinn" follows the story of a peculiar protagonist. Quinn, the titular main character, fulfills the role of the Narrator - but this isn't how the story was supposed to go, they're sure of it. Joined by James, Daphne and Alice - all holding secrets of their own - Quinn ventures across worlds to find the answer to that greatest of secrets - who are they, really? Dreams and mirrors become portals to uncharted worlds, full of beauty and danger, and the most wonderous places. And time after time again is the question posed - who is visisting Quinn's dreams? And can they possibly rewrite destiny? --- My lil' novel, very much a WIP. Previously only on AO3, that's why there's a lot of chapters updated at once loll All the characters belong to me, the story is mine etc CW: - major character death (kinda) - semi-graphic depictions of violence - mentions of SA - trauma flashbacks - suicide (thoughts, mentions) - school shootings - self-depricative thoughts - mentions of ED - mentions of domestic abuse

Perfectionist by Euphonics

The name's Alexis Niko. And I'm, by definition, a perfectionist. 'Do it, and do it perfectly.' That's the motto I live by. But in a world where nearly everything has been done, it's really quite difficult to do something world-shatteringly amazing and earn the recognition of the masses. So, you can imagine my surprise (and absolute piss-inducing horror) when I was transmigrated to a world that was just about to spread its wings and take off towards the technological revolution... After I had been accidentally done in by drunk driver. I had been gifted a system-The Perfectionist System (PS to be short)-that allowed me to fulfil my lifelong desire: To be perfect. Naturally, now that I had been given a chance to shine, I would take full advantage of this situation...That was... Right after I finish freaking about how I had just died and literally been transported to another world. See you in a couple.

Pandora's Trials by Paige_Nobles

In a world ravaged by a virus and plagued by conflict, a girl named Pandora Meyer recovers from the virus that took her memories and lives with her father, Abraham, in an isolated cottage hidden by the thick forests of the northern peninsula of Michigan. One day, she saves a boy who says his colony needs help. The southern peninsula was taken over by a cult hellbent on either growing their numbers or wiping out sinners, and they want to expand northward. As she helps the northerners fight off the violent cult, she must figure out who she is and how to survive in a harsh, unforgiving world where one slip up will kill you. However, she soon begins to wonder who the real enemy is. They say the Pandora of ancient myth opened her box and doomed humanity, but can this Pandora save it? P.S. This is the rough draft of my senior project, so constructive criticism is very welcome :) Please be kind, I've never made my writing public before.

An image of perfection by shevi927

Victoria Robertson was born an ordinary girl. Perhaps she would have turned out okay, if it weren't for the twisted mind of her mother. Her mother, a troubled widow, raised her, her two brothers and one sister in a peculiar manner. In modern society, people generally accept the idea that humans are imperfect and should be accepted with their flaws. Well not Victoria's mother, Caroline. Caroline raised her children to believe they needed to achieve perfection to succeed. As a result, Victoria grew up with self esteem issues and low self worth. But that's not all. Victoria must decide if she'll be a cruel, judgemental and demanding woman as her mother was, or to learn that as humans, we all have flaws. The decision is Victoria's, because the fate of her country lies in her hands. Will her aspirations and dreams to create a utopian society prevail, or will they turn into disappointments and nightmares of a dystopian society? She has power and control to change society for better or worse.

Redeemed (Sequel) by SweetAsAndi

This is the sequel to "Condemned", and is based on RPs between me and my friend. Grief is dead, and Artemis is on her own. She is mentally and emotionally (and physically) scarred. It has taken her months to be able to do certain things on her own (like walking, lifting things, etc., etc.), and in that time she has built up a wall, blocking the world out. She believes if she doesn't let anyone in, she can't get hurt. Then, in come Raven and Storm. Storm was an alchemist working with (the bad side of) the military, and Raven...Raven was one of his experiments. They are hurt, broken, troubled people, and Artemis seems like the only one who can hold them together. But in the process, they will tear down every barrier she has and turn her world completely upside down. ***I see you have come back for more *smirks* Okay, let's get everything settled right now. There are sex scenes, strong language, and (a teeny bit of) violence...I do NOT own FMA or any of the characters, just my OCs*** ***Rated Mature for sexual content***

Her life unravels in a startling event that leads her to question who she really is and who she's going to be. **SIDE NOTE: This story is entirely fictional. Any religions, cultures, or practices that are similar are merely coincidences. This story is not rated mature but there are mentions of war, mild profanity, and hints towards other mature themes. If enough people think it's necessary, I will rank it as mature. **
