Dystopian Christian

Iron Bastards

What happens when inspired by Warhammer 40k, Trench Crusade and the Lovecraftian mythos to write a war and military focused story.... You get this; a story in which multiple major factions are neck-and-neck at war and the impact of said war. Expect a dark and grim tone from this war-filled novel and purely lore. Characters are consistently mentioned but nothing too in depth about any of them is explored because this is more of a fictional journal than it is a novel. Expect countless losses and blood spilled without second thought. Of course, that is not all to expect. Forsee a chronological story rich in lore and character interactions told as if from the eyes of a historian. As previously stated the story has a very grim overall theme but also interesting lore. I should of course mention that "christianity" exist in this story, and of course plays a pivotal role in the progress and one the the constantly reoccurring themes in one of the main factions. But this is not meant in any disrespectful manner especially since I am fully aware certain things are completely incorrect or against christian faith yet I have still written as such. That is because this is an alternate christian faith and please understand that the only deities in this story are Lovecraftian in nature, like the eldritch gods Nyarlathothep or Yog-Sothoth created by sir Lovecraft himself. Therefore the "god" in this story is in no way the abrahamic god, but something purely conceived in my fantasies which of course I will share with you. Additionally I should add that real world themes, names, places or even events will be mentioned - consistently, and even used, applied or told differently to fit in context of the story so please understand that as well. Furthermore I would like you to understand that large scale conflicts are a nigh constant in this story. If death, blood, gore and in depth explanations thereof are unsettling to you, I urge you not to read this story's contents That's all, bye!!!

Speranţă

The City Where You Have to Pay for Oxygen In Speranţă, a dystopian city dominated by megacorporations and covered in toxic fog, life is kept within a dome, controlled with an iron fist. For most of the inhabitants, oxygen comes at a price, and freedom is an unattainable luxury. In Speranţă, some young people are born with powers strong enough to become celebrated heroes; others are thrown into the battlefield with no special training, only the price of survival. They are forced to fight against... whatever is on the other side of the dome. Carlisle, with her sharp tongue, quick wit, and a burning desire to cause destruction, is not one of those prodigious heroines. But maybe she doesn’t need to be. As the city sinks further into darkness, Carlisle finds herself forced to sink along with it. How do villains come to be? Ask anyone, and you'll hear a different answer. But the truth is, everyone has the impulse to become something dark; where the patience to suffer in silence ends, the desire for revenge begins. “Oww, don’t tell me I hurt your feelings?” – the straight, perfect smile played on her lips, mocking, even though she was the one lying on the ground. “If that’s the best you can do, I don’t even want to see the worst.” – As she tried to lift her upper body, the second blow came straight to her ribs, pushing her back against the dirty ground once more. She would have to add that event to the list of “stupid and potentially suicidal things” she had already done. The foot pressing her into the ground remained firm on her back, preventing her lungs from fully expanding. He – whose name she would have to strain to remember – said something, a whisper lost in the wind, because all she could hear was her own heartbeat as she threw a mocking smile at the bastard.

Iris, The Prelude of Clones

Synopsis Will Pandora's Box of Human Cloning Be Opened? In 1997, Dr. Ian Wilmut of the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland, introduced the world to "Dolly," the first cloned sheep. By 2015, the American company VIAGEN PETS had become the first in the world to clone deceased dogs and cats, producing hundreds of cloned animals and establishing itself as the largest animal cloning company in the United States. In May 2023, a baby with DNA from three parents was born at the Newcastle Fertility Centre in the UK, made possible through mitochondrial replacement technology. As of 2024, we find ourselves in the age of AI, with expectations that AI will soon evolve into AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), capable of thinking like humans and even surpassing human intelligence. AGI is anticipated to address long-standing challenges in genetic engineering and biotechnology swiftly and effectively. But what happens when human desires come into play? What if a beloved child, spouse, parent, or even a renowned politician or scholar passes away? With sufficient funding and stable technology, could they be cloned? Even in the Bible, the birth of Jesus is described as asexual reproduction. According to Christian doctrine, Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. This event, known as the "virgin birth," signifies a departure from the typical human reproductive process. This belief is a foundational doctrine of Christianity, underscoring both the divinity and humanity of Jesus. While the concept of asexual reproduction differs from traditional scientific reproductive methods, it is viewed through the lens of faith as divine intervention. Currently, biotechnology is advancing rapidly in most areas, with the exception of core somatic cell cloning. This progress is gradually resolving uncertainties and instabilities while pushing the boundaries of what is deemed divine. A top-down approach, which entails completing surrounding technologies before developing nuclear weapons and only adding the warhead when conditions are right, is already being applied in genetic engineering and biotechnology. In the United States, violations of the Human Cloning Prohibition Act can result in penalties of up to 10 years in prison or fines exceeding $1 million. If someone is willing to take that risk...? The Pandora's Box of human cloning is already upon us.
