Biopunk Stories

Ethan Rost was a hero-a firefighter, a husband, a father. The man who ran into the flames so others could live. But when cancer came for him, he took the miracle cure the world called Genesis, the patch for all human rot, the salvation sold in glossy ads and whispered boardrooms. It cured the tumors. It rewrote his cells. It promised forever. It never said who would live forever inside the rotting cage. Now Ethan is a Remnant-mind trapped behind bone and teeth, forced to watch as the monster in his skin tears through the world he died trying to protect. He can taste every scream. Hear every heartbeat before his hands rip it away. And in the static between kills, he finds others, a chorus of broken minds still awake inside their walking corpses. And far below the ruins, Connor Hale, the last scientist who warned them all, hides behind flickering screens and dying servers, fighting to crack the Genesis code before it devours the last hope for what makes us human. He knows the cure was a lie. He knows the monster is awake. And he knows some things should never be brought back from the grave. This is not your regular zombie apocalypse. No safe farmhouses. No cartoon headshots. No heroes with endless ammo and witty one-liners. This is the apocalypse from the inside out, the last fragments of memory and mercy fighting inside the gnashing teeth. THE PASSENGER is about what happens after the infection, after the flesh is gone, when the only thing left worth saving is your soul. They don't die. They don't sleep. And memory...is the only thing they can't kill.

Three hundred years after the Aether-Fall, humanity is a broken machine. The Nine Cities rule the clean zones with an iron fist, trading resources via massive, high-speed trains while the rest of the population rots in the contaminated zones. It is a world of "Symmetri" and "Discordi," of those who own the sky and those who bleed in the red dirt. In this world, truth is a commodity controlled by the Revision Engine, and peace is maintained through the brutal "Veiling" of stolen children. Kael Vance is a product of this system. A Gen-12 soldier with eyes that shimmer when he uses his power to predict the next three seconds of a heartbeat. He was built to be the shield of Northgate, a hunter of the deformed, and a loyal servant of the Iron Treaty. But when the "monsters" he hunts begin to look more human than the generals who command him, Kael's temporal perception starts showing him things he wasn't meant to see. In a world where history is rewritten every day, the only thing more dangerous than a lie is a soldier who remembers.

Oh, look who's back. Did you really think 'The End' meant the end? ​Admit it, you missed us. Or maybe you just enjoy watching Ragia suffer. Either way, welcome to the Encore. ​It's been a year, and things have gone from bad to 'conceptually absurd'. The Reagalus system is lying through its teeth, the Krall are still a nuisance, and Ragia... well... he's as cranky as ever. Especially since he's still carrying The Pen around like a loaded gun in a crowded room, waiting for the universe to force his hand. ​We are hunting for a ghost of the past. A descendant of M'awoto, and I, your Narrator, will be here to document every sarcastic remark, every plot hole, every nonsensical plot, and every moment the universe decides to break its own rules. ​Sit down and get comfortable. The show isn't over until the fat lady sings... nope... until Ragia decides to rewrite the script. Yeah... Welcome to The Chaotic Fanfare Encore!

Eris was supposed to die in a Shinjuku alleyway. She was supposed to be just another casualty of the war between the Veyruun Hunters and the monsters that haunt the smog. But the rules of the world broke. Now, Eris is a walking glitch in the system. She doesn't just kill her enemies, she consumes their power and binds their shadows to her soul. From the neon-lit gutters of the city to the bone-white forests of the Orchards, she is climbing a ladder of corpses to reach a throne no one saw coming. The sky is weeping red. The veins of the earth are turning to glass. And as the world prepares for a "Purification" that will burn everything to ash, they are about to learn one terrifying truth: You can't kill a plague that has already won.

Aditya, a brilliant software engineer in bustling Colombo, finds his seemingly perfect world unraveling. A nagging feeling of unreality plagues him, starting with intense headaches and evolving into unsettling observations: perfectly arranged objects and patterned human behaviors that feel unnervingly like computer graphics. Initially dismissed as overwork by his pragmatic best friend Sasha, Aditya's growing conviction that their world is a simulation intensifies, forcing Sasha to confront his chilling theory.

In the scorched remnants of a world undone by nuclear fire and desperate science, Genessence unfolds a tale of evolution's cruel lottery. A millennium after the Genesis Event-a catastrophic machine meant to save humanity implodes, infusing the biosphere with "Grace," a volatile force that rewires life itself-survivors navigate a reborn Earth where mutations can exalt or shatter. At the heart stands the Lazarus Foundation, a techno-cathedral bastion guarding ancient secrets, led by reclusive founder Cale Dragen, whose draconic transformation birthed the era. Enter young warden Raen Solis, the "Dawn Herald," whose kinetic bursts of Virtue propel him into a storm of crises: rampant Sinborn horrors threatening the fragile peace, shadowy factions weaponizing biology for power, and a philosophical rift between viewing Grace as divine miracle or mechanical curse. Mentored by a triad of Virtued elders-empathetic scholar, strategic custodian, and unyielding enforcer-Raen confronts a rising threat: Kruvaun Ozzik, the "Hollow Wing," a decayed survivor crusading to erase Grace's unconsented legacy and restore "true" humanity, no matter the cost. As alliances fracture and mutations surge, Raen must grapple with a haunting question: In a world where change is inevitable, is salvation worth the risk of becoming the monster? Genessence weaves biotech grit, moral dilemmas, and epic confrontations into a saga of ascent, decay, and the fragile flame of hope.

#TeamOoorah and the rest of the Tevun-Krus crew return with the first issue of 2K17. It's NanoPunk, and it's badass.

BioPunk focuses on biotechnology -- technology that alters the genetics of an organism. Broadly, this can even refer to selective breeding, but for the purposes of BioPunk fiction, it tends to refer to things like bioengineering, or biomods, which are programmed to enhance or alter the abilities of an individual.

Umbraornis, the formidable black prime dragon, must enforce the strict laws governing the Dragon Laboratory-a volatile hub of magic, science, and life manipulation. But what begins as a routine inspection quickly spirals into a brutal confrontation when he unearths a sinister cult and a shocking betrayal. Can one dragon's discovery prevent an all-out war, or will the lab's twisted secrets consume them all? This story takes place in the year 1'500'000 in the Chaos Dragons time line

The Matrix Saga from the point of view of the Machines.

Say hi to the Family! We offer belonging and purpose for your life. I've been developing the Family as an idea for use in a number of short stories. This is a quick intro to the Family, mainly for purposes of worldbuilding. Any feedback, especially on the general concept of them and what stories you'd like to see them in, would be much appreciated.

How much would you give up to save the world?

Short Story in the Malfunction Trilogy Up until now, Ella has managed to avoid the single most important but most dangerous aspect of her life as a biobot. The thing she was created to do: going to the ravaged surface to fend off the aliens that turned the planet into a desolate, frozen waste. It's her first mission Topside, and it might be her last. Called one of J.E. Purrazzi's best works, this short story features characters from the Malfunction trilogy and takes place in the same universe.

We follow the journey of a young prince, who must save his father from unknown assailants with his small entourage of an ex-bodyguard, an intelligence agent, and an inventor. Using his powers, and the wit of his friends and many more to come, he must rescue both his father, and the entire galaxy from the cybernetic overlords called the Simulates. Fernando can sense danger, but he surely could not expect to be fighting his own people, menacing bounty hunters, and finding secrets that are better left untold... On the other side of the page, an excruciating war is fought between the Humans and the Peoqoyians. Battle rages across the galaxy, sending ripples throughout The Markor. Can Fernando and his friends prove the truth before the two sides become dust in mutually assured destruction?

"Indrik, a brilliant artificer, spent half his life attempting to recreate the likeness of a soul. But just as his masterpiece neared completion, his research was stolen-triggering a cat and mouse chase through the streets of an alternate 19th-century Riga. Will he manage to hold on to what matters? And who else desires to acquire this accrued knowledge?" The story is set in alternative history with low fantasy and sci-fi elemets.

** 2020 version of the Watty 2014 Winner** 'My name is Arturo Basilides. I am an orphan living in the slums of Medio City - the capital of a nation ravaged by a war which was won by extremists. Offered a choice between slavery and disenfranchisement, we exist in an underclass so disconnected we effectively inhabit a different era. Daily life involves scavenging, theft and substance abuse with a bunch of misfits who are somehow still in one piece after years of abandonment. I am a natural born fighter and although I despise warfare, I must witness the downfall of those bastard elites while fulfilling my romantic intentions with the forever unattainable girl of my dreams.' Skye City is a biopunk adventure set in a world where science is indistinguishable from magic and oppression is near-inescapable. Technology has created a newer, 'superior' form of human and genetically engineered monstrosities are as terrifying as anything encountered in your nightmares. The underclass have been underestimated and as they fight back the boundary between freedom fighter and terrorist becomes increasingly blurred. Meanwhile, the drug-induced haze of a traumatised mind places a question mark over the meaning of reality.

The Remaking, plunges you into the world of The Descent, where drowning is ritual, memory is erased, and anything can be sacrificed to empire. In the Metrion galaxy, the Daggermaids within the Order of Silents forge women into living weapons through the Mourning Pool, where death is not an ending but a passage into total obedience. Under their rule of power, the Vothrim Hegemony rules through ritualized cruelty and engineered silence. Its dominion is enforced by soldiers, soothers, propaganda, and assassins, while the overlooked and the expendable are reshaped into instruments of service. Hatred festers where hope once lived, and hunger is sharpened into purpose. Written in the style of Dark Space Opera, this is not a tale of salvation but of transformation. Scars become sigils, obedience is stained into flesh, and a clean slate becomes a weapon. For readers drawn to ritual, ruin, and moral ambiguity, this is your descent into a galaxy where survival means surrender, and silence is stronger than screams. Dive into The Descent. Who knows who will find you...
