Lorelai Ruse, a teenager in the technology driven Society called TECH, finds that she has the Gene, a genetic malfunction. She has spent her whole life with only one mission: to keep the Gene hidden for fear that what curses through her blood will only result in her death. Lorelai believed that she could live with the secret behind closed doors, but just as she starts to integrate herself into the Society, her father gets promoted as a TECH Official and realizes that there is no way she can keep this deadly secret hidden much longer.
She fights to stay "normal" and unnoticed by the leader, but as the Gene tries its hardest to override the system programmed in her very being, pain, terror, and fear awaken to torment her. The secrets she knows that could never get released to the leader were now threatening to be released. When she thinks that there is nothing to do but give up, Lorelai finds out that the minority group, the Lessers, have started to revolt against the High Official and are ultimately creating problems in the High Official's order. She believed that the secret would be safe behind locked doors, but a series of sudden events push her to find out the truth; why does she have it and why does it pose such a threat against the High Official? With these questions on her mind, she seeks the Lessers out to demand why she stands out from the rest.
And while the High Official starts to put the pieces together, Lorelai quickly finds out that Lessers have the answers that she wished to have her whole life.
But, what Lorelai doesn't know and is soon to find out, is that they also have the ones she never knew she could search for.

Ch.I.P. 1: Reactivation {EDITING}
?Highest #12 in '#technology' (17 June 2018)? ⚛ Highest #228 in Science Fiction (30 May 2018) ⚛ "It's alright." I waved my hand dismissively. "I'm allergic to bullshit." ♧♣♧♣♧♣♧♣♧♣♧ Maya Scoren is unique. But she's not the only one, there are nine others supposed to be besides her; two of which never made it past their mother's womb and one who's incompatible. What makes them special, is also what makes them dangerous. Ripped from their normal, day-to-day,school life, family and friends with no warning, they find out who they are. And why they're alive. But fitting back into that normal life they missed so much is proving to be hard. Especially for Maya, who has a tendency to get herself in trouble and extraordinary situations ENTIRELY her fault. (She'd rather die than admit that of course) Old life brings the problem of boys, unwanted advances, homework, teachers and of course, a boyfriend with she had a rather uncharacteristic meet-up. Scott, Sed, Andy are her childhood friends all the way with her in this. Almost all the way. They didn't expect her to change or to come back at all and they are having a HARD time adjusting to the new Maya. She's dangerous, she's hot and she knows it. She has done a lot in the past two years that will catch up to her and stuff after that which refuses to stay hidden. Controlling CEOs, sensitive boyfriend, an obssessed boss is just the tip of the iceberg. And I'm not even touching the problems at her school. Will all this unwanted attention put her in trouble? Author's note: this was my first story ever. It has no proper plot or story but it's fun to read! Also, lots of typos. And grammar mistakes. Tons of them. Tons. You have been warned.

Callidus Rising | Complete ✔️ | Book 1
[COMPLETED] •Being revised... AGAIN (Progress: Intro-Chap. 3)• "We're going back... Understand? There are more threats out here than we anticipated, and they're all after you-" Lukas' voice erupted into static and chunks... I glared at the man in all black as the light continued to beam and blind me. Without my glasses it was actually painful. And then there was silence. My bare feet hit the metal floor of wherever we had jumped to, and I put my hand up to shield my eyes from the vicious attack of bright light. Not again."

Everything seems to be barren and empty... But if her super old sci-fi movies didn't teach her that looks deceive, nothing will. Technology, before "GASP" (Genetically Altered Soldiers Program) and the War of Nations, was insane. You could be teleported in the blink of an eye, or healed from a once fatal injury in days. With the majority of the population infected with a viral genetic plague, almost any of the survivors could access this technology... Including Alexi. When a simple quest for survival turns into a journey of a lifetime, will Alexi be able to survive the weight of the gruesome truth when she finally uncovers it?
