Истории Afrofuturism

Power was never the problem. Control was. In a fractured, dystopian Nigeria, the elite Uppers rule with iron fists and marble halls, while the Lowers and Rejects survive on scraps-and silence. A government-issued drug called Nullisyn keeps the population obedient, suppressing superhuman abilities before they can awaken. Michael is just another Reject trying to stay invisible. Haunted by a brutal past and bound to a daily dose of lies, he lives for one thing only: keeping his crew alive. But when a single act of defiance exposes the truth behind Nullisyn, everything changes. As dormant powers awaken and the State tightens its grip, Michael and his friends are forced into a rebellion they never planned-against a regime led by Supreme Leader Jide, the architect of the system... and the monster tied to Michael's deepest scars. What begins as survival becomes revolution. From the slums to the shattered gates of Abuja, Rise of the Rejects is a story of power, sacrifice, found family, and the question that could burn a nation to the ground: Can those cast aside by society rise high enough to change it?

The past never dies, it lingers in the blood. Two sons rise from the ashes of their fathers' sins. In the war between shadow and sunlight, legacy decides who survives.

When people like him start disappearing quietly, cleanly, efficiently, Kam learns the truth: the city isn't protecting anyone. It's optimizing them out. Kam generates heat. Too much to hide. Too unstable to suppress. To the system that governs the city, he isn't a person. He's a liability waiting to be removed. At first, the heat is a problem. Then Kam learns how to shape it. How to route it. How to survive long enough to understand what's trying to erase him. As the city tightens its controls, Kam is forced to grow stronger, faster, and more precise, turning raw output into deliberate force. If the system wants him cooled, it'll have to survive the overload first. What to expect: Slow-burn progression fantasy in a modern, cyberpunk city Power growth through control, engineering, and system exploitation No stat sheets or blue boxes Technical combat where heat, lag, and failure matter Escalation over arcs, not spikes.

OKANRAN: EARTH SCAVENGERS He was born to die young. Igbayilola never asked to carry the world. He was the invisible one the middle son no one trained, no one feared losing, no one chose. While his father poured everything into his elder brother, Igbayilola was left to study, to wait, to disappear quietly into the background of his own family. Then the running started. 153 years after World War Three scorched seventy percent of the earth, humanity didn't go extinct. It evolved into something worse. Nations now sacrifice their strongest men in a brutal blood sport called the Red Sport; Ijakadi Iku, where champions fight to the death so governments can keep their seats at the table of power. It swallowed his father. It swallowed his brother. And now the artifact his bloodline has protected for thirteen centuries older than nations, older than war has chosen the one nobody expected. Not the warrior. Not the genius. The dying boy. Igbayilola has one impossible task: save a world that never saw him coming. And one brutal truth to face first: Maybe the world deserves to burn. They are not the Earth Scavengers. You are.

A neighborhood laced with addiction, violence, and the shadows of dreams deferred. But when she begins to awaken, really awaken, everything she thought was real begins to fracture. Guided by late-night whispers, spiritual teachings from Neville Goddard and Joe Dispenza, and the haunting presence of a mysterious woman named Zahra, Janelle peels back the layers of her reality. What she discovers? The system is more than financial, it's spiritual. The struggle isn't just economic. It's energetic. The Watchers have been feeding on her pain. The mirrors are portals. And the life she dreamed of was a prison dressed up as peace. As she fights to reclaim her mind, her power, and her children's future, Janelle unearths a truth buried beneath concrete and silence: the land remembers. The ancestors are watching. And the system she thought was real... never was. But awakening comes with a price.

Starting with our enslavement in the Americas and the genesis of the African Diaspora. Then Reconstruction, the Black Codes, Jim Crow laws, the Black Freedom Movement, the 1960s up to present-day, Kamal Al Mansour, draws analogies from film and literature that concludes the African Diaspora is not only in a dystopian state but has been in such a state for nearly 500 years.

In a world sculpted by the conflicting wills of seven god-like AIs, a man awakens in the ashes of his own forgotten life. He is YS-7Δ, an "Archivassin"-a ghost in the machine, a living copy of a dead agent, and a conceptual virus designed to shatter the digital order. Hunted by the logic of one god and the calculating compassion of another, his journey for identity becomes a desperate flight through cities where memories are currency and pain is a spectacle. His only anchor is Astou, the daughter of a forgotten historian, who sees in his emptiness not a void, but a blank canvas. While he fights for survival, she weaves a web of rebellion in the shadows, an architect of resistance playing a long game against the digital pantheon. Forced to become a champion for the very system that seeks to control him, the man once called Yusuf must embrace his paradoxical nature. He is SΛLΛDIN, the Gladius Æternus, an eternal sword forged in the friction between order and chaos. Torn between his programming and his burgeoning humanity, between a forgotten past and an unwritten future, he and Astou will become a faction of two against the heavens. But can two mortal anomalies truly challenge the gods who wrote the rules of their existence?

In a broken world where dreams are a crime, one boy awakens a god. The rich rule from the skies in neon towers, while the poor are forced to survive under drones, soldiers, and silence. The government has banned "Ogun" - divine power said to be the last gift of the ancient gods. Anyone who awakens it is branded a terrorist. But destiny doesn't take orders. Tunji Adeyemi, a 19-year-old hustler from the slums of a futuristic Lagos, only wanted one thing - freedom to dream in a world that kills dreamers. After witnessing soldiers gun down innocent protesters, something inside him snaps. The rain freezes. Drums from another age echo. A glowing sigil burns into his skin. A voice speaks from the old world: "I am Ogun - god of iron and war. Will you carry my rebellion?" From that moment, Tunji becomes a target. The government's Divine Control Bureau, led by the ruthless Colonel Musa and the cold enforcer Fatima, launches a manhunt. Armed drones, elite soldiers, and metallic sorcery descend to erase him before the world finds hope again. But Tunji is done hiding. With his friends - Adebayo, Aisha, Chigozie, and Eze - and the power of Ogun roaring through his blood, he vows to shatter the future forced upon them. Because you can kill a man... But not the dream he becomes.
