10,000 years... In 1994, the two Timeless Monarchs came to Earth and changed Humanity forever; now we're 10,000 years in the future. The Monarchs have been gone for 2,000 years. They said we peaked. Unable to live up to their expectations. Humanity has lost their real shepherds, the ones who would guide us into our birthright... A new type of evolution maybe paradise. Without them, humanity has regressed into relatable bad habits, ones born from the weakness in our ancestor's DNA, the same DNA that kept us alive and allowed us to survive. They taught us... Space travel that extends to our entire Galaxy. The ability to touch the algorithm that binds our universe together; Medicine advancements that turn almost every injury into something trivial with drugs and cybernetic implants. Death of not knowing where we fit into the universe, the hierarchy, our place in the cosmos. Even with all that, the story follows Astora Vermillion, a young woman with a Blazing Blade, unruly sarcasm, and a closet full of bulletproof jackets.

In this story, A-stor-a's connection to the Algorithms of the universe will change everything for everyone... even humanities shepherds. Some might say... She's heard this all before...

Two friends(Jasper Grace Forge and Hugh Martin) go on a mission to find Jasper's mom after she mysteriously goes missing. All the while a virus outbreak is raging on. Not everything is what it seems or is it?

Kadota (Love Trilogy) by Lisa_Evette
19 parts Complete Mature
In the quiet desert village of Dey, living among the sand dunes and mirages, existed an anomaly - me. I was different, born without the ability to read, write or keep long memories. My scientist father hailed my uniqueness as a miracle, but my life was far from ordinary. To the village, I was just an oddity, a walking puzzle with missing pieces. My only solace was my best friend, always standing by me, his unspoken love for me etched in his affectionate gaze. We lived under a cruel regime with a population no more than a hundred. Every year, one of us would be chosen on the Counting Day, a ceremonious banishing ritual, to become yet another outcast to the floating prison island far off in the ocean - our village's dreaded version of population control. Our past criminals, defiant to government, and more terrifyingly, our loved ones gone missing, were thought to inhabit that island, their fate, a terrifying enigma. This year, as the Counting Day approached unrelentingly, and my loved one's life rested on borrowed time, I made a decision. I volunteered to be casted out. It was my turn to face the unknown with a hidden purpose - to locate my lost father who was sent there years ago.
