There was once a time when Earth was at peace. The world was looking up, and humanity was working together. That time is no longer. Ever since the Tyrannical Bestellen Des Skorpios took control, the world has seen new lows of oppression and tyranny, centered in the new capital of Earth, the megalopolis Kulost.

Now, several hundred years following the take over of the Skorpios, Archon Zhelezo Kulak sets a new plan in motion, one that will cement the rule of the Skorpios forever. In this world of pain, death, and poverty, it is left to the unlikely group of twin criminals, a master engineer, and a strange Kulostian captive to stop Kulak and his twisted machinations.All Rights Reserved

The Hunted by HarmonysLoveHP

In a futuristic world, the residents have no say. From birth, they are monitored and chosen for the jobs within society. Some have more potential than others and are selected by the Elders before they start their formal schooling to fulfill prestigious positions after graduation. These students train together in a special facility and are respected by the society. Belle and Derek both hold those prestigious positions. Belle as an Agent and Derek as the Executioner. They've been accused and tried for the murder of a respected Agent. A murder that they did not commit. Now, they are thrust into the experimental punishment that is the Ki'i. The convicted are thrust into an enclosed area and left there until only one remains alive. The last one standing gains his or her freedom and a secure job in the government. Belle and Derek are best friends and neither one are willing to kill the other, but when their circumstances change, they have a chance to fight back against the Elders that sentenced them. Now, they are fighting for the rights of their people and against everything that they have been taught.

Tide of Traitors by 10-III0

It's the near future, and an AI has been put in charge of society in order to eliminate inequality and bring about perfect justice. However, this has resulted in mass imprisonment as each and every person is made to pay for the collective imperfections of mankind. Except for those outside of the system. Some survive on offshore platforms and converted ships, away from the watchful eye of the android forces. But life on the waves is often dangerous, and not everyone is as they seem...

12 Hours by byamyaolivia

We had a choice and took the money. We are two teenagers who are strangers to each other. Now everything is depending on us. We are being sent eight years into the future because World War III must be STOPPED. There's just one problem. These robots are like nothing we have ever seen before. Beyond what we consider artificial intelligence. Did they exterminate the humans?

The Carriers by JarrynPaige

Completed! #1 in government conspiracy as of 10/19/18 #6 in outbreak as of 10/10/18 #7 in corruption as of 8/12/18 #62 in apocalypse as of 8/7/18 #11 in government as of 8/9/18 The year is 2213. Everyone was evacuated from the home planet over 150 years ago. Our planet was dying, it was only a matter of time before our race was wiped out. We now live on a synthetic planet designed and built by our ancestors who came together from all parts of the globe to devise a plan to save us. We have lived peacefully for over a century.. Until now. Our lives were threatened when a mysterious and deadly virus broke out, killing entire communities at a time. The council says that they have a plan; they said that in order to prevent the death of more innocent people they will test every man, woman, and child for signs of the virus. Any person found to have been infected will be quarantined, the ones who die will be given a proper burial while the ones who survive are deemed carriers and are to be sent to the home planet to prevent further outbreak. I was prepared for the people I know and some I love being taken away for the greater good, but I never would have expected that among the list of people being taken from my community, that I would be one of them.. I survived the quarantine. Now for the survival of my planet I, and the other Carriers must be sent to the home planet. I'm going back to Earth. (This is not based on The 100 but there are similarities.) (Some violent themes, but other than that is entirely clean.) Please comment if you have any questions or concerns. This is a first draft so it is definitely not perfect yet.. Thank you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Where'd you learn to do that?" I asked about the intricate knots that he had tied so swiftly. He paused. "Jail." I glared at him in shock at what had just come out of his mouth. "Seriously?" His straight face broke into a grin. "No. Boy Scouts."

The Hangman's Plague by MSulejmanovic

It is the second decade of the second millennium and an unsuspecting world is engulfed by an unknown plague. Uncurable and fatal, it was hence named the Hangman's Plague. The survivors of this brave new world must find a way to operate in an environment of scarcity. Some still yearn for the olden days of humanity, an era of plenty. Only those most determined to carry on and thrive in a new era of capricious geopolitical uncertainty will prosper and begin a renaissance of humanity. Can these broken pieces be stitched back together, or will we remain forlorn forever?

The Shelter by -space-child-

No one really knew how X's came to be. One day there weren't any, the next day half the population was wiped out. All Karma knew was that they are technological monsters, fit to be the world's biggest weapon, after the splitting particle ray which could reduce any person into air particles in a millisecond. Karma realised how simple it would be to destroy an army even with one X. They were practically indestructible, perfect killing machines, only they'd turned on the government, apparently. Or maybe those bastards had escaped perfectly unharmed, watching how the country was being destroyed. Maybe it was an excuse for overpopulation. xx-xx Karma has been trying to survive for over a year, but it's difficult when X's, mechanical killing machines, roam the streets, hungry for human flesh. Every day that passes by without finding a portal brings the morale lower. They need to escape the country before they all end up dead. It doesn't help that the X's have changed their tactics and are now manipulating people to commit suicide. The death rate keeps increasing, and Karma has to find out what family means, and to what extremes she would go to save the ones she loves.

The Way It Is by JessieGoodwin

I am not from this planet. Hell, I am technically not from this galaxy. However, that doesn't change the fact I am here now, and my job is to save what I can on this forsaken planet and what's left of its inhabitants. The problem is that not everyone wants to be saved. I know what you're thinking. You can't save those who don't want to be saved. I bloody well agree. The ones who sent me don't care what you or I think, though. All they care about is numbers. They need a certain success rate to continue to get funding for their "expeditions" and "peacekeeping" efforts. I use both terms loosely here. However, that's what they put on their records, and it's what sounds good and looks suitable to their investors. So this is the way it's going to be. So be it! Oh, did I forget to mention the Universe decided I was the lucky girl to help find the one person who could save us all from self-destruction? Yea, that is a shitty idea, but once again, no one cares what I think.

The City Of Cenopolis by JackTheTripperr

In a world where the mega-corporation Nexus has seized control over every facet of society, the city of Cenopolis stands as the shining beacon of humanity's future-or so it seems. Behind the utopian facade lies a system built on manipulation, surveillance, and corruption, with the neural chip technology once hailed as the savior of mankind now acting as a tool for absolute control. Eli, Luke, and Sam, three unlikely allies from the underground resistance, know the truth about Nexus. Haunted by personal losses and driven by a desire to reclaim freedom, they embark on a dangerous mission to expose the sinister reality behind Cenopolis. But in a world where power is absolute and rebellion is a death sentence, their journey will test their loyalty, courage, and faith in one another. As they uncover Nexus's darkest secrets, they must confront the question: Can true freedom ever be achieved, or will power always rise from the ashes?
