Being good doesn't always keep you safe. Sometimes, being good is the reason you run for your life.

They call it the Switch. Children vanish and families are given the "perfect" replacements. And the real children? They wake in white rooms, where obedience is the only way to survive. 

But cracks don't stay hidden forever, and when they spread, they can bring the whole system down.

The Hidden Game by bjcoupland
28 parts Ongoing
When Amelia Swanson was four, her parents were murdered. The killer was never caught. Twelve years later, something opens a door to her past. It doesn't offer Amelia any answers - only more questions. Dangerous questions. ...The kind people have died for. Now Amelia and her best friend Marv are being hunted. By a system built to suppress the past. By people who have killed to keep secrets buried. And by something dark that stalks her dreams-something that knows her name. As the net tightens around them, Amelia realises they aren't the only ones searching. Everyone is circling the same hidden conspiracy. Politicians. Journalists. Scientists. Secret societies. Resistance cells. Assassins. Amelia begins to understand the truth she was never meant to find: her parents weren't random victims. They were players in a hidden game. And she just stepped onto the board. ------ What to expect from The Hidden game: - A conspiracy thriller with underlying psychological horror elements. - A slow-burn investigation that constantly escalates into real danger and a large conspiracy. - A surveillance-state dystopia and critique of both systemic and algorithmic power. - Layered mysteries where every answer creates new questions. - The story has a strong focus on found family and fiercely loyal friendships. Content warning: parental death (past/flashback), trauma and PTSD, nightmares, occasional violence and death (no gore), and pervasive surveillance themes. ------ Release schedule: I'm aiming to release a new chapters every 10-14 days with short breaks (2-4 weeks) between seasons. Current status: Book 1, Season 1 complete (20 Transmissions, ~60k words). Season 2 is underway and the hunt is active. Planned scope: a trilogy of books split across 9 seasons (approximately 750k words).

The Feeling Underneath

75 parts Complete

Hidden behind the polished exterior of LGA Hospital, Artificial Humans are engineered and born underneath the building in secret. Male AHs are bred for combat and power, while the females are designed solely for their wombs. Surrogacy. Two-Sixty-Eight - later named Caesar - was meant to be another expendable weapon. But he is different. He develops a Fore-Light unseen in a decade: the power to manipulate blood. The last AH who possessed it nearly massacred the scientists who created him. To the Suited men, however, Caesar is not just dangerous - he is invaluable. A blood manipulator could mean limitless harvested organs, endless transplants, and the power to rewrite death itself for people waiting on donor lists. But then his caretaker, Joseph Collins, commits the unthinkable and teaches Caesar about humanity, about love, and about truths the organization forbids. All to preserve the human part living inside of him. Soon, a flicker of resistance grows within Caesar's heart as New Knowledge of "The Outside" surfaces. He gathers his Brotherhood and they begin to question, to hope, to dream of this forbidden place, that if uttered, could result in Capital Punishment. They bet everything on a dream never tasted: escape. But will they succeed or will the price of freedom be paid in blood? It only takes a spark to start a fire. And this spark is about to ignite hell.
