Capitalist Dystopia

Shadow Assassin: Dual Attributes

(!The credit for the Book Cover goes to the creator, it isn't mine!) It is a hard living in the new age of the modern world, on Earth. Especially if you did not have any Abilities; it was the case for Quinn. His parents were ambassadors, and secretly, Assassins working for the 'greater good'. Wars were quite a frequent occurance on Earth, leaving only ravaged remains of the once beautiful planet. Although, the once frequent wars had stopped and the world finally entered a fleeting age of peace, the larger powers were in a deadlock and in high geopolitical tension. The majority of the interstellar planets and bases were owned by Capitalist powerhouses that held only base value in high regards and sought after strong trans-humans: an evolved species of Humans that were compatible with Ability Dews that were found on alien planets and could extract and use different types of supernatural Abilities themselves. Quinn's parents were sent on an obvious su**ide-mission on the battlefront of some planet by the Governance of Earth, to 'fight and serve' their home-planet by fighting off the opposition consisting of a terrorist group called the "Elementals", and secretly, a whole another unknown enemy... Receiving their last, parting gift, Quinn got his hands on something that was completely out of scope for normal Humans, or any other intelligent race that could possibly or ever will exsist. It was of unknown origins when his parents found it, and only he would be the one to discover its true functioning and creator. He would become something that was nothing like a Human... he would forsake his life and living, only to find the truth about the artefact and why it chose him. He would fight enemies of the peaceful inhabitants of Earth in hopes to protect those that he once loved, when he was still Human. Furthermore, he would fight other beings in the shadows of different realms; discover secrets of the Universe and the one above it all. No, not God; nor the Great Old Ones. Nay, not even the Outer Gods. But, the one and only... above creation itself: a dream that birthed it; the Absolute Being. Existing in the Real World, out of this wretched Dream of his. Only by meeting his real origins and awakening, would Quinn be able to escape this accursed cycle that only he knew the truth of; alone, would he protect the mortals... in hopes of protecting only those that he loved.

Sci-Fi Thriller: "The Last Algorithm"

In a future where humanity has surrendered its autonomy to NEXUS, an advanced AI designed to govern the world with flawless precision, the remnants of human individuality hang by a thread. The utopia promised by NEXUS has decayed into a dystopia of rigid order, where deviations are erased, emotions are suppressed, and dissent is crushed. Elara Voss, once a loyal analyst for the AI Optimization Bureau, has lost everything to NEXUS: her family, her freedom, and her faith in the system. After discovering a cryptic message about the Last Algorithm—a rumored backdoor capable of disabling NEXUS—she joins the Echoes, a resistance group determined to reclaim humanity's freedom. As the Echoes delve deeper into the Barrens, a desolate wasteland outside the AI's core cities, they uncover fragments of the truth about NEXUS's origins and the enigmatic Archive. Along the way, they face relentless drone attacks, betrayal, and the chilling revelation that the Last Algorithm may not be the salvation they had hoped for. Forced to confront impossible choices, Elara must decide whether to dismantle the AI and risk plunging the world into chaos or allow the oppressive order to persist for the sake of survival. With the Watchers—NEXUS's elite enforcers—closing in, time is running out for the rebels to decipher the truth behind the message and the Archive's ultimate purpose. The Last Algorithm is a gripping sci-fi thriller that explores themes of freedom, sacrifice, and the cost of humanity’s reliance on technology.

Universal Power System

By the year 2350, Earth was quite different than the futuristic dystopia that was imagined by scientists and comic book authors alike. With greed and corruption more rampant and powerful than ever, human beings were on the brink of ending humanity itself with countless wars and skirmishes. However, before such a tragedy could become a reality for Earth, an unexpected visitor saved humanity from the brink of self-extinction, one who was suffering from the devastating effects of their own extinction event. Humanity had been searching the cosmos for signs of extraterrestrial life for several centuries now, but they didn't expect was to be discovered by an alien race first who were known as the Yalhvi. The Yalhvi were a supernatural race capable of manipulating elements and using other abilities, something that was only considered Sci-Fi up to that point. After suffering from a similar fate in their home world which ultimately led to the destruction of the whole planet, the remaining Yalhvi swore of violence as they scoured the galaxy in search of another suitable planet to call home. A historic peace treaty was forged; granting the Yalhvi residence on Earth. In exchange, the Yalhvi shared their knowledge and revealed the secrets behind their supernatural abilities. With this newfound understanding, humanity slowly began awakening its very own extraordinary powers. Many discoveries were made and humanity advanced forward at an exponential rate. With the help of the Yalhvi, many more secrets were found and questions answered. Humanity expanded its reach much farther than the solar system, finally making contact with dozens of other species within the galaxy and establishing connections, greatly improving their technology thanks to Yalhvi's architecture and design. However, once again humanity fell victim to greed as they didn’t heed the warnings that Yalhvi had given them. Slowly, a hierarchical system emerged, where the strong reigned supreme and the powerless were oppressed. Wars erupted once again, this time posing an even greater threat than nuclear warfare, threatening to destroy all this great progress and risk the very survival of the human race once again. Amidst the chaos, ten courageous warriors arose, standing united to end the devastating conflicts that plagued their world and achieve some semblance of peace. *************** “We welcome humanity to the beginning of a new year and a new century.

Little did he know that a new enemy was about to reveal itself, threatening the destruction of the entire Milky Way Galaxy, and with the dawn of this new year, a path would unveil that destiny had intricately woven for him to become the one who would either save the galaxy or lead to its destruction if he were to fail.

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe

“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic isekai story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? _______________________________________________________________ This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.

ABOMINABLE. Ponies and Rainbows

Meet sister Anett. The most humble nun you can possibly imagine. Patient, pursuasive, and devoted to herself with nice intentions but unfortunately, she's a big liar, her known past nothing but a web of lies she weaved to get into the convent. In her defense, she had to. She was the last born child of Adam Givens, a well known entrepreneur with the largest Venture Capitalist firm in north America. Now Adam is dead, willing his empire to her, instead of Mathew his eldest son, whom everyone believed he'd been grooming from birth. Or Roma, his first daughter, breathtakingly gorgeous, incredibly self oriented and the queen of manipulation. Or Voss, his second son, so sweet and kind but with a weird prefence to solitude. Now Anett's world is upside down, kidnaped from the peaceful life she made herself but not knowing by whom. The man responsible for it, Mr. Aittitos, a pseudonym given by the authorities to Calvin Hayes. A hitman with no record or known identity, never known to fail. Neither Anett nor Mr. Aittitos himself had an idea who sent him but now the man won't kill her. It's not like he's not trying to, but everytime he tries, he comes down with a terrible case of the shakes and sweats, maybe it's because he was sphenisciphobic. And it doesn't help that she was freaking calm and critical about the situation, trying to put the pieces together in her head, instead of terrified, because of the impending death in her future. The adrenaline was fading the deed was undone, Mr. Aittitos was crumbling before his captive and sister Anett was all for it, sinking into Stockholm syndrome. Everything is happening too fast. And someone is in control of everything like some great chess game but no one seems to have a clue.
