Dystopian Speculative

[BL] The Making of an Alpha Villain

[BL] [Alpha x Alpha] After the First Apocalyptic War finally ended, Mattias Kohler thought he could return to America and live out his days as an unmated alpha in peace. Being a child soldier left him with more scars and baggage than he cared to admit, but for a while, living in this superheroes’ version of a ‘new world’ wasn't so bad. He'd even managed to stave off the deadly consequences of the war for a solid twenty years. Despite everything, the shell shocked veteran made peace with the last of his ghosts. Or so he thought, were it not for one rude-ass awakening. When his biggest failure and the rightful king of his ghosts shows back up out of the blue—very much alive and kicking—Matt finds himself kidnapped and dragged back into a cold war against his will. What's worse, this particular ghost has deep ties to Mattias’ past, and the fact that he's still alive is an absolute stain on Matt's ledger. His initial goal is just to get the hell out of this mess and kill as many Russians as he can in the process, but as time goes by, he realizes something isn't right with the King of Ghosts. The other alpha’s past betrayal may not be everything it seems, and the more Matt learns about this dark world his old-friend-turned-traitor steeped himself in for all these years, the less he understands. Not to mention the fact that he'd been forced to get off his scent blockers and rut suppressants all at once; fuck if he knows why that filthy traitor smells so damn good, but he does. It's wrong. They're both alphas. Matt is also painfully aware that alpha on alpha relations are illegal in most countries. But he's hard, pissed off and has no idea whether he's in for a fight or a fuck. Either way, they dragged him back into this, and now he's going to finish it.

I Am Not The Only Monster In This Story

MONSTORY is a dark, character-driven dystopian fantasy set in a fractured future Seattle, where Alucards, winged beings bred for labor, live enslaved, silenced by law, and bound by control collars. Igor, once a slave in a coal mine and now a servant to a powerful family, survives by burying his true identity. But as fragments of memory surface and his conditioning frays, he begins to resist the roles forced upon him. Haunted by a name he was never allowed to keep, Igor becomes the spark in a world built on inherited cruelty, waging a quiet war for autonomy, and risking everything to be seen as human. What to Expect: - A brainwashed vampire-like weapon who might kill you... Or just spiral into an identity crisis first. - Mind games, manipulation, and memory wipes, because therapy is illegal and cults are trendy. - Slow-burn character drama where trauma is the main currency and no one gets out clean. - Rebellion run by morally bankrupt idealists. You’ll root for them. You’ll regret it. - Found family, lost family, broken family, pick your flavor of pain. - Beautiful prose with teeth. Think poetry, but it bites back. - A dark, tangled web of secrets that punishes you for trusting anyone, including the narrator. - Emotional devastation with the occasional flash of tenderness, like a knife glinting in moonlight. What Not to Expect: - OP wish-fulfillment MCs who level up by chapter 3. This isn’t that kind of grind. - A harem. Unless you count trauma bonding with your enemies. - Quirky comic relief characters. We have one guy who tells jokes. He’s not okay. - Morality that’s easy to swallow. It’s more like choking on holy water. - Fluffy romance. It’s complicated, possibly cursed, and not approved by HR. - Adults who fix things. The adults are the problem.

To Love A River

In a dystopian future where Vampires emerged from the shadows in order to stop humanity from becoming extinct, a young woman with a dark past meets a charismatic stranger. As time goes by Private Love Aikawa of military Unit 4-7, finds that she may not be as human as she first thought. Battling rogue vampires, mutated creatures and her own past, Love works to unravel the mysteries behind the secretive Helsing unit, and tries to become the bridge between humans and vampires in a world filled with discrimination. This novel starts intentionally slow through the exposition and the early world and character building, BUT everything kicks into gear after the turning point in the latter half of Volume 1, and especially Volume 2, where the tone of the novel shifts. So, I hope you stick with it and enjoy the wild ride! I also added some song recommendations along the way to listen to whilst you read certain chapters, I hope this helps boost the experience.

The Greatest king

In the vast Nazare Blade Empire, ruled with an iron hand by Emperor Groa Aratat, there existed eight princes, each striving for recognition and power. Among them was Josh Aratat, the most obscure and least acknowledged of the emperor’s sons. Born of a mother who passed away when he was just a child, Josh grew up in the shadows of his more celebrated brothers, his heart burdened with loss and his life marked by solitude. One fateful day, Emperor Groa decreed a challenge: each of his sons was to venture into separate regions of the empire, conquer them, and win the loyalty of their people. The prince who demonstrated the greatest strength, strategy, and ability to amass supporters would be crowned the imperial prince—the heir to the throne. The empire buzzed with speculation. Most believed the title would go to the mighty firstborn, Balek Aratat, renowned for his unparalleled strength. Others placed their bets on the cunning second-born, Jaden Aratat, or the skilled third-born, Gerard Aratat. Few gave any thought to the younger sons, particularly the sixth to eighth—Josh included. In their eyes, he was merely a shadow, unworthy of mention in the race for the throne. But everything changed when Josh encountered a dying man, condemned to execution for the crime of stealing bread. Wracked with despair and tired of his own existence, Josh made a startling decision—he offered to take the man’s place, embracing what he thought would be his end. Yet, in an unexpected twist of fate, death did not claim him. Instead, Josh emerged from the ordeal with a newfound power—an extraordinary ability granted as a result of his selfless act. This gift would not only alter the course of his life but also shake the foundations of the Nazare Blade Empire and the world beyond.

My Garbage Collecting Cheat-Skill in Survival Game

[WSA 2025] Have you ever thought of quick success, but knew your worse fate wouldn't let it happen? It's a feeling you can't express, but you still feel that somehow, someday, God will listen to your wish and make it happen. The same thing happened to me. At one point, I was careless about my life, but suddenly one day, I realized I hadn't done anything. And now, like others, I was also looking for quick success. Then it came. The VRMMORPG game called 'Apex Survival' – a game not developed for some kindergarten kids, but for adult kids, like myself. It was the game where you could earn a fortune, but as the name suggests, only Apex Survivors could earn that fortune. With every level-up, you'd earn cash, but every death meant a penalty, reducing your level as well as your chances of survival. "This isn't just a game. It's my only opportunity to change my life." With that hope, I logged into the game. And like others, I was also granted one unique skill. But what is this? A garbage collecting skill – why always me? ... Those were his thoughts when others laughed at him, and he cursed his fate for getting a garbage collecting skill, until he finally used it for the first time. That's when Ray realized. "This isn't just a garbage collecting skill. It's the garbage collecting cheat-skill." ... I thought again and again, and then I realized that even if God wants to help us, we still have to make an effort for what we dream of. [You have unlocked Pocket Dimension] [You have unlocked passive skill Restore] [You have unlocked passive skill Modification] [You have unlocked passive skill .....] ... This is a plot driven story and there are many tags which I haven't added yet. The story will be slow paced, it isn't like the story where you'll start killing a dragon in just few chapters. it's more about leveling up, survival and more of a grind. The game is based on a dystopian/post apocalyptic world, with more focused on mixed tech and magic, which means you'll see Mc using a guns but with magic abilities. I'll add discord server later.

Reincarnated as the Crown Prince

Lancelot Haier came from a dynasty of politicians who had ruled with tyranny and oppression. Despite those origins, he despised his family and was willing to help the citizens who had long suffered under their rule. However—before he even had the chance to change his country, the people revolted. His entire family was executed, and he was killed along with them. In his final moments, he wished for a second life—one where he could redeem himself and carry the sins of his bloodline. Unexpectedly, that wish was granted. He was reincarnated into another world as the crown prince of the Kingdom of Aragon. But in this world, everything felt backward. The country was ruled by an absolute monarch. Feudalism was the norm. Technology resembled that of the late 1700s. Fortunately, in his past life, he had earned degrees in both mechanical engineering and political science—knowledge he once hoped to use to reform his homeland. Now, it seemed he would use them here instead. He would use his modern knowledge to transform the lives of his people, industrialize his territory, gain the upper hand in technology, and form alliances with foreign nations—all while navigating the treacherous waters of internal affairs and politics. P.S While Reincarnated as the Crown Prince draws inspiration from historical settings, political systems, and technologies of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, this work is entirely fictional. All characters, governments, names, and events—although some may resemble real-world history—are products of the author’s imagination or are used in a fictionalized, altered form for narrative purposes. This novel is not a historical account. It should not be interpreted as a factual representation of any real monarch, nation, revolution, or political figure. Lancelot Haier, his backstory, and the alternate version of different kingdoms portrayed here are entirely original creations. The inclusion of familiar concepts like feudalism, industrialization, and political reform serves the plot and world-building, not historical documentation. Readers seeking accuracy in history are encouraged to consult verified academic sources. This story is a creative work meant for entertainment, character development, and speculative exploration of “what-if” scenarios rooted in alternate history. Thank you for reading, and I hope you will enjoy the journey.

The Black Sun Swordsman

The world nearly suffered an apocalyptic end when four powerful entities clashed in a fierce conflict, nearly wiping out life. These entities were the embodiments of Four Primordial Forces, which act as anchors the entire universe as they know it. They were known as the Archangels, each of them mighty in their own right, ripe with the Primordial Lifeforce as well as their respected affinity. The War of The Four Monarchs, as the conflict was called, resulted in the world to enter a dystopian era, with Humanity and other supernatural races barely surviving the aftermath of the devastating events. While the planet was scarred physically, it showed no risks of truly ending, leaving the hope of longevity to allow the survivors to carry on. Fast forward nearly 200 years later, most of the world is rebuilt and the population of humanity is better than it was right after the War. But since the War, many supernatural aspects of the world became more prominent, giving opportunities for creatures of the night and other supernatural beings to rise up from the shadows and thrive. One of these supernatural beings is Mael, who is categorized as a "Black Sun", a powerful supernatural creature who was born during an eclipse. Many believe that Black Suns are vessels for one of the embodiments of the Primordial Forces; An Archangel. Mael spent most of his life on the run from a certain faction, learning how to wield a sword which he uses to harness his innate power. In the dystopian environment where most areas are eat or be eaten, he learned to survive and how to come out on top. He built a reputations as a dangerous wandering swordsman who won't hesitate to cut his enemies down. Eventually, he arrived at Nighthaven, a prominent city in Dystopian America.

The Last Iroko Tree

In the ashes of Earth’s once thriving ecosystem, where deserts have swallowed cities and the air reeks of industrial decay, only one green giant remains: the last living Iroko tree. Revered by ancient tribes and dismissed by modern science, the tree becomes the final hope for survival when Dr. Kuntu, an impassioned Kemit environmental scientist, uncovers a long-lost manuscript detailing its miraculous regenerative powers. Haunted by the memory of a lush past and driven by a vision of healing, Kuntu assembles a global team of experts a botanist with a secret agenda, a rebel engineer fleeing the corporate regime, and a geneticist hiding ties to a dark environmental experiment. Together, they set out across a shattered continent, evading rogue militias and corrupt governments who would rather see the world burn than lose control. As the team draws closer to the Iroko, they realize the tree is not just a carbon sponge; it’s a living archive of Earth’s ancient balance, holding dormant powers and ancestral secrets tied to Kuntu’s bloodline. But reviving the tree unleashes consequences no one could predict: climate anomalies, spiritual awakenings, and a resistance determined to destroy what they see as unnatural resurrection. When Kuntu is forced to choose between science and heritage, progress and preservation, life and sacrifice she must confront the greatest truth of all: the key to saving the world may not be in the tree's power, but in humanity's will to change. The Last Iroko Tree is a deeply emotional, high-stakes journey of eco-activism, ancient wisdom, and the unyielding fight for redemption in a dying world. With its blend of Kemit mythology, speculative science, and environmental urgency, it’s not just a story, it’s a call to action.

The Resilient Heiress

After spending eleven long years abroad for her own safety, Zara Adam finally returns home — not as a stranger, but as the cherished daughter and sister her family never stopped loving. Raised with affection, guided from afar, and protected at all costs, Zara steps back into a world that once felt out of reach… and not everyone is ready to welcome her back. Her reappearance sends quiet ripples through the Adam household — particularly for Olivia, the adopted sister who had no idea Zara even existed. Fearful of losing her place and driven by jealousy, Olivia begins to weave silent schemes to push Zara out. But what she doesn’t realize is that Zara is no easy target. Calm, composed, and unbothered by society’s opinions, Zara has long since learned to walk through storms without flinching. Though cold to the outside world, Zara’s warmth blooms around her loved ones — the family she finally gets to hold close, the friends who never let go, and the one person who’s always been more than just a childhood memory: Ethan Anderson, the elusive heir to a powerful legacy… and Zara’s rumored fiancé. Their bond reignites the moment they meet, stirring envy and speculation among those who can’t bear to see her truly happy. As challenges rise and rumors swirl, Zara finds herself caught in the crossfire of envy, legacy, and expectation. But even when she wants to stand alone, her family won’t let her — especially her fiercely protective brothers and the man who stands beside her with quiet strength. When the world threatens to drag her down, they make one thing clear: She’s not facing anything alone — not anymore.
