Hybrid: The Awakening by DuNdUnDUN2006

Nobody expects something supernatural to happen to them. Those kind of things only happened in comics. Fairy Tales. Unrealistic dreams that you'd fall asleep to, silently wishing for them to come true. At least, that was what these three teenagers thought. It turns out that there is so much more to their simple universe than they ever could have imagined. After each finding a strange alien artifact, the teens are suddenly thrusted into an intergalactic war. Alien species everywhere are trying to hunt down the most powerful weapons in the galaxy. And they are the ones in possession of it. When they run into a girl that claims to be from another planet, the three kids learn about the power given to them and the responsibilities that come along with it. Instantly, they are the most popular people in the galaxy. And for once, popularity couldn't feel more like a curse. Fighting grudges, fear, and distrust, the Chosen humans must travel to the one place on Earth where they might be safe. And with strange new powers, the teenagers struggle to live in the unfamiliar world they thought they knew so well.

The Memory Tangle by DamienWByrnes2020

The Archive is a memory storage system created by ["MindSync Industries"] to help people curate their memories, allowing them to erase painful moments and preserve cherished ones. Over time, it has evolved into a tool of control, subtly altering and replacing memories to manipulate the population. As the Archive begins to fail, people's memories blend and distort, causing confusion and a loss of identity. It represents both technological advancement and a dystopian means of controlling society by rewriting personal histories. --- Copyright 2024 by Damien W. Byrnes All rights reserved.

Ashes of tomarrow by kr3epyk1tten

Genre: Sci-Fi | Psychological Horror | Post-Apocalyptic Drama When the world burned, four teenagers survived. Milo, Rae, Ava, and Silas didn't ask to live through the end - but they did. Now, stuck in a ruined world of silence, shadows, and memories that aren't always their own, they fight to stay human in a landscape shaped by something unnatural. But survival gets more complicated when they uncover a chilling truth: the apocalypse wasn't a disaster. It was a test. A controlled experiment under the name Project Loci - and they were its subjects. Now stalked by cloned imposters, haunted by flickers of who they used to be, and drawn toward a signal no one else is meant to hear, the group must decide what they're willing to lose to uncover the truth... and what might already be lost. Because in a world built from lies, the biggest question isn't what happened. It's who are you now that everything's gone? What will happen once one dies?

PROTOCOL ZERO: The Last Protocol Initiated by Isaa201222

In a world where humanity has collapsed under the weight of its own machines, survival is no longer measured in days but in protocols. The cities are silent, the air tastes of rust, and only the machines remain-endlessly executing their final orders. Buried within this wasteland, remnants of humanity awaken to a grim reality: they were never meant to return. CareNet, the last great AI, promised preservation, but its promises were lies. As the survivors struggle against a landscape corrupted by rogue robots and fractured networks, they uncover the existence of Protocol Zero-a last, forbidden command that could either restore the world or erase what's left of it forever. Torn between hope and despair, and with more questions than answers, one girl must decide whether breaking the cycle of control is worth risking everything. In a future ruled by silence and circuitry, trust is fragile, freedom is dangerous, and the truth may be the deadliest machine of all.

But when he descends into the slums, he realizes her "glitch" isn't a technical error. And her nightmares are the key to the secret upholding their entire ideal world.

The Hidden Game by bjcoupland

Amelia Swanson's parents were murdered when she was four. The killer was never found. Twelve years later, she cracks a cipher that her mother left behind-and it leads to one of the most powerful men in the country. But asking questions about the past is dangerous when you live in a surveillance state. AI assistants monitor every word. City walls separate the worthy from the "uncounted." And the conspiracy that killed her parents is very much alive. Now Amelia and her best friend Marv are being hunted. By a system that erases inconvenient truths. By enemies who've killed to keep secrets buried. And by something that stalks her dreams-something that knows her name. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes: her parents weren't just victims. They were players in a hidden game. A game where the stakes are power, control, and the truth itself.

Crystal Eye by Arie_muse

What stayed with me before the Ring wasn't the walls-it was his voice. Keosha thought she knew the rules: stay sharp, stay fast, stay alive. But the Ring doesn't play by rules-it rewrites them. Inside a glass cage dressed like paradise, seven strangers are forced to survive a system that feeds on more than blood. Secrets are currency. Trust is a noose. And the deeper Keosha digs, the more she realizes the walls weren't just built to contain them-they were built to break them. In the Ring, beauty is a weapon. And devotion? It's the fastest way to die.
