Altered Carbon

The altered history of forgotten survivors

Seon was never meant to escape. Raised in a sinister orphanage hiding dark experiments, he spent his childhood surrounded by fear, silence, and disappearing children. When he uncovered the horrifying truth behind the place, he made a daring escape—only to enter a world where survival was just as brutal. Years later, Seon has buried his past, living under the radar as a lowly logistics worker in the military. But fate has other plans. When a catastrophic earthquake strikes a forbidden mountain, Seon is forced to join the rescue effort—only to wake up buried alive in an unknown forest, his body healing mysteriously at night but remaining wounded during the day. Lost in a land forgotten by time, he soon faces a life-or-death battle against the Wolf King, a beast of legend. Against all odds, he wins—and awakens a terrifying ability: by shedding his own blood and concentrating, he can see the memories of the land itself. But this power comes at a price. He can only use it once a month unless he strengthens himself through relentless training and by gathering rare treasures. As he journeys deeper into this hidden world, Seon unearths long-buried secrets, ancient wars, and powerful factions that would rather see history remain forgotten. Along the way, he forms unexpected bonds, faces heartbreaking betrayals, and discovers that the world he once knew is just the surface of something far greater. When his path leads him to the Castle of Souls, a mythical fortress lost for over 2000 years, Seon realizes that his past, his power, and the fate of the world are more connected than he ever imagined. But some truths should never be uncovered. As unseen enemies close in and time runs out, Seon must decide: Will he fight for a future he never believed in? Or will he let the past consume him? A tale of survival, mystery, and the relentless pursuit of the truth, The Forgotten Survivor takes readers on a gripping journey of power, sacrifice, and the weight of history itself.

SPACE COLONIST: in the oceanic world ARK

#Synopsis: ------------------------------------------------------ In the far future the planet earth is full, and thanks to 3 key technologies, genetic manipulation, cryosleep, and advanced space engines, humanity builds deep space spaceships and launch themselves to the unknown confines of space to forge a new future away from home. Follow our young engineer Erik as he starts on his first job at the young age of 60 years old in future earth where humans will live hundreds of years, he will reach an unknown place with his spaceship by accident and to survive he will have no choice but to explore alien structures and hunt dangerous monsters to get stronger, making alliances with the locals in more than friendly terms sometimes. ------------------------------------------------------ The protagonist is a young 60 years old "young" engineer, he's easy-going and a good guy, he's been trained so he will know what he's doing most of the time, in "Chapter 1 - A New Beginning" he will explain more, as a human from the future where bodies are just flesh containers, he's fairly openminded (kinda like "Altered Carbon" from Netflix, but different, you can go one day to a genetic center, pay, and get inside a liquid tank and then, the next time you open your eyes your body has already changed, then you get your ticket and go home just like that, but combat modifications would be regulated). ------------------------------------------------------ Hi, NirvanaPenguin here, suggestions on the story are welcome, this is a book I'm gonna write for fun and to get better at writing in preparation for a story I will start next year. ------------------------------------------------------ Discord: https://discord.gg/WPM7a4Dp4J Reddit: www.reddit.com/user/NirvanaPenguin/ Twitter: @NirvanaPenguin Post a review if you liked the book to help me get exposure, thanks. Wanna send me a tip? https://www.buymeacoffee.com/nirvanapenguin https://www.paypal.me/NirvanaPenguinBooks QR: https://i.ibb.co/0mt2RpJ/Nirvana-Penguin-Books-QR-TIPS.jpg ------------------------------------------------------ A quick heads-up about the tags: tags: FirstContact, alien, mystery, technology, AI, DesignedIntelligence, Waterworld, ARK, cooking, hunting, gathering, KingdomBuilding, alliances, leviathan, genetics, FromWeakToStrong, AlienReproduction, lewd, r18, genderswap, Futanari, HappySex, genetics, teaching, mechanics, FuturisticTechnologies, weakToStrong, cautiousProtagonist. ------------------------------------------------------ Dialog Settings: '...' --> mental dialog "..." --> out loud dialog [...] --> voice inside his head but it will be clear during the book, the story might be slow for some, but i didn't wanna do a "10 years later" kinda crap and then strong to go explore, but he will slowly get there. The book cover was drawn by myself(not the background though), I will try to make or pay someone to make a cooler one in the future though. ------- Spoiler?: Inspiration for the octopeople. - Asari from Mass Effect. - sea horses. - subnautica all beings reproduce that way.
