Biopunk Stories

Il futuro nelle provette. Nel mondo sta accadendo una strana mutazione, il cromosoma Y inizia a scomparire, vittima di un'anomalia che nessuno sa spiegare. È l'inizio del Decennio delle Madri, un'epoca di riforme radicali dove la riproduzione diventa un Obbligo di Stato e il potere passa interamente nelle mani delle donne. L'ultimo uomo sulla Terra muore, lasciando un pianeta ordinato, pacifico e... sterile. Gli embrioni maschili non attecchiscono più. La scienza ufficiale parla di evoluzione naturale. Mentre una giovane giornalista cerca di unire i frammenti di un puzzle iniziato cent'anni prima da due genetisti, un miracolo impossibile scuote le fondamenta del sistema: nel grembo di una donna selezionata, un cuore maschile ha ripreso a battere. Il suo nome è Anastasios. È l'ultimo errore del sistema. O forse, l'unica speranza di salvezza.

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.

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.

Prepare for a Martian story of Hard Science and Painful Majic so explosive you'll have to change yourself just to be ready for it. Don't worry, it'll take us four years to get there from Earth, and in the process every cell in your body, now Homo Sapien, will gradually be replaced by Homo Martianus. I wish this deeply queer process alone could prepare you for the harsh nature of the surface. It won't. But, because of it, there is a chance that you'll survive. The systems that govern the planets however; they crumble around our would-be heroes. Human ambition rains from the skies as the foundations of the old world collapse. Write a song of destiny, find your players, and together form a ritual to transmute the reality of the planet Marsha itself into a rousing conspiracy thriller in which every chapter evolves alongside you, and every act is the sometimes uncontrolled demolition of the corrupt old world. When the Coda ends, what will be left of them? A new life on Marsha awaits. It will not be comfortable, but it will be alien. Vivit Terra Nova! Vivit 'l Tera-Rust!

La Tierra ya no es un hogar, es una cáscara de metal oxidado que vaga por el vacío, un planeta-nave movido por motores continentales y la desesperación de miles de millones. Somos los parásitos del universo, los piratas que apagan soles para encender los nuestros. Cuando la flota humana llega a un nuevo mundo de océanos esmeralda, creen que será otra cosecha fácil. Pero se topan con El Eje, una civilización de depredadores biológicos que no conocen el miedo y cuya tecnología orgánica hace que nuestras armas de fuego parezcan juguetes de madera. Para evitar la aniquilación, los altos mandos recurren a los hermanos Graves: Silas ("S"): El cerebro. Un sociópata táctico que ve la galaxia como un tablero de números y probabilidades. Kael: El músculo. Un comandante de campo curtido en mil carnicerías, líder de un escuadrón de locos e inadaptados. En un movimiento desesperado, Silas clava el Arpón Continental en el núcleo del enemigo, encadenando ambos planetas en un abrazo mortal. Ahora, nadie puede huir. La guerra ya no se libra con flotas espaciales, sino en una base de cristal negro donde cada palabra es un engaño y cada tregua es una trampa. Dos mentes brillantes. Dos especies al borde del abismo. Una partida de ajedrez donde el primer error será el último.

In a world where extreme emotion can twist the human body into something monstrous, society survives through suppression. Every citizen is medicated from puberty onward, forced into a numb and carefully controlled existence where feeling too much can leave you dead... or permanently changed. The survivors are called the Bent. The government calls them Response Class Subjects. He refuses to live numb. When he meets a girl just as afraid of her emotions as he is addicted to his, the two are pulled into a dangerous relationship that forces them to confront everything society has taught them to suppress. But in a world where love itself can trigger violent biological adaptation, even the smallest emotional spark can become catastrophic. As bodies warp, people disappear, and the government tightens its grip, one horrifying truth begins to emerge: humanity's mutations may not be a disease at all. They may be evolution.

Not every apocalypse falls from the sky. Some are engineered - stitched into living flesh and sold to the highest bidder. A secret squad works in the shadows, erasing horrors the world isn't allowed to know exist. But when a classified experiment mutates beyond control, minds fracture... and monsters wear smiles in daylight. Levi leads the Axolotl Squad-elite superhuman operatives fighting anomalies, betrayal, and their own mutations. The future isn't dying... it's hungry. And staying human may be the last thing they can afford. One mission remains: contain the entity. Or the world dies screaming. #1 Entity / #2 Biopunk / #5 Secret Organization [27/11/2025]

Six years have passed since the Eternal Crown Marker shard shattered on Aegis VII. From that cataclysm emerged a power both god-like and unstoppable, its influence leeching into the farthest reaches of deep space. A new era of horror has dawned-one where the line between man and monster dissolves, and survival demands more than defiance. It demands transformation. Three destinies now intertwine amid a collapsing galaxy: The Avenger, driven by vengeance sharper than any blade. The Shaper, whose iron will can bend flesh and fate alike. The Wrath Incarnate, born of rage so pure it reshapes worlds. Each bears the ghost of Isaac Clarke's legacy, yet none remain linked to his destiny. This is not a remake. This is Dead Space-Awakened reimagined. Dive deeper into the Marker mythos, encounter brand-new terrors, and face the ultimate question: What happens when the nightmare doesn't just change the world... but changes who we are?

Neon City. Where your own toaster is plotting your murder, and the government's best defence is a tactical squad featuring a laser-eyed cyber-gorilla and a vat-grown clone of Pope Francis. Neve had a simple task: track down "Enlightened" household appliances and shoot them before they could turn humanity into a bloody pulp. But when a routine hit on a rogue phone box goes super wrong (on Omega scales)-Neve learns some unexpected truths. Nothing is as it seems in this cyberpunk/biopunk novella with strong elements of dark humour, government conspiracy and a decent level of cosmic threat.

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.

A punk genre story set in an alternate 1940's, the British Empire is the strongest nation to exist. They've conquered most of Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa. They control the strongest navy, army, and sky fleet. The United States is a sleeping giant controlling the entirety of the Americas. Japan has asserted themselves as the dominant power in Asia and the Eurasian Empire is suffering from hardships with the Tzar fearing a communist rebellion. Antarctica (called Terra Australis or Australia), lush and green in this timeline, is split between the United States, Japan, Britain and many independent nations. But among these major powers are pirates. The United Pirate Alliance has sea, land and air forces. We follow a pirate clan known as the Eyes of the Skies. They're the biggest thorn in the side for the British and Japanese Empires, often also getting into scraps with the United States and sometimes even Russians. But now, their Ace pilot named Desmond Blackwell and his squadron may have found something. Something that could change the world forever.

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.

Floyd and Vivian--promised to be best friends. Promised to run away together. But when they're both ones selected to be unwilling volunteers at a testing facility, they're torn apart and left to fend for themselves. Lost in the dictatorship and kept under strict surveillance, their blue moon meetings dwindle to nothing. And when they both, finally, escape, they're left trapped in overpopulation with fading memories of each other.

The World Before the Story There is a place where the world still breathes. Not as a metaphor. Not as a poet's comfort offered to the grieving or the lost. As a biological fact, a measurable, audible, feelable truth that every man, woman, and child who calls the Fringe their home has known since the first moment they pressed their bare feet to the living ground and felt it press back. The ground inhales. A long, slow, resonant pull of air through earth and root and crystal. Then it releases. Everything alive responds. The forests glow a little brighter. The Silk Liquid in the streams runs a little faster. The children; always the most sensitive instruments in this world;look up from their games and smile without knowing why. This is the Fringe. And to understand what is about to happen to it, you must first understand what it is.

In a post apocalyptic world, Ava has to make a decision.

In a world where technology and humanity intertwine, one girl's fight for identity becomes a battle for the future. Alessia never asked for the life she's been given. After a near-fatal accident, she wakes up in a secret government facility, only to find that her body has been altered-enhanced with cutting-edge biotechnological implants. Now, she possesses abilities that defy logic, but with them comes a dark truth: she's been turned into a weapon. As Alessia navigates her new reality, she discovers the true purpose of the augmentation project-a system designed to create an army of controlled, unwavering soldiers. But something doesn't sit right. Memories of a life before the accident are surfacing, and the more she unravels, the more she questions her role in this dangerous game. Caught between loyalty and rebellion, Alessia must make a choice: will she accept her new self and fight for the future the system envisions, or will she tear it all down and reclaim her humanity? In The Cypher's Awakening, nothing is as it seems. The line between man and machine is blurrier than ever, and the fight for freedom may come at a cost Alessia isn't prepared to pay.

How much would you give up to save the world?
