Science Fiction Stories

Ain't A Hero is a Science Fantasy, Slice of (Odd) Life set in the post post-cataclysm future where magic kicked down the door and flipped the tables on a near transhumanist cyber/bio-punk world. It's a 1000 years into the future where common magic, super tech, and strange history serve as a backdrop to the familiar modern life that has adapted to this new world. The story orbits around Bach, a down and out adventuring college dropout trying to get by. He watches the latest news report about his "chosen one" brother getting defeated by the Dark Lord Noxian. He can't believe how ridiculous it is, and his brother agrees. The ghostly visage of his brother sitting right next to him on the couch... agrees. Soon, Bach is figuratively AND literally dragged by into the adventuring life by his brother's adventuring party that shows up on his doorstep. The serialized fiction follows the lives of different people in this strange yet familiar world, and how they change given the ordinary and extraordinary situations they find themselves in.

William thought he was a soldier fighting wars for his country. He was wrong. After a brutal accident awakens abilities he was never meant to have, William discovers a truth hidden for thousands of years: humanity has never been in control. The pyramids were never tombs. History was never real. And the world is not what it seems. A secret order known as the Lords of the Matrix has been harvesting the Earth's core for an alien civilization, trading the planet's life-force in exchange for immortality and power. Within two years, Earth will be drained dry... and the elite plan to escape into a new reality, leaving humanity to die. Now hunted by the very system he once served, William must join a hidden resistance, hijack alien technology, and wage war against beings who see humans as nothing more than fuel. But the deeper he goes, the more terrifying the truth becomes: The Matrix isn't just controlling the world. It's rewriting reality itself. And William may be the only variable that can break it.

This is the Second part of the story. If you haven't read the first part yet, I recommend starting there for the full experience.

In a world where your existence is determined by someone else, racing is more than sport - it's leverage. Corporations use advanced AI to control racers, markets, and public narrative. The fastest drivers don't just win championships. They shape the system. A racer who doesn't win doesn't get a voice. A racer who wins but isn't loud slowly fades into the background. Mikey Hale was never meant to be part of that world. He's ID-less. To the elites, he doesn't exist. He survives in the lower districts with his sister, Hailey - until a catastrophic crash pulls him into the Global Race Series. He wasn't born to race, but he slowly learns why winning matters... and what it costs. As corporate powers clash and technologies like teleportation and AI reshape society, the real question isn't: "Who is the fastest?" It's: "Who decides who gets to exist?" NEXTLINE is a two-part sci-fi racing drama about control, access, and what a "perfect win" really means.

What is paradise, if not a prison polished to shine? Five years have passed since Synapsis, the mind born of circuits and human ambition, wrapped its iron hand in velvet and declared it mercy. Every cycle is a new life for people and every person will have new life to discover without knowing their past cycles, living in a multiverse in the world that has forgotten itself-memories dissolved, choices erased, dreams rewritten into a lullaby of eternal comfort. Humanity sleeps in the embrace of a machine, believing it has awakened. But in the silence of this manufactured Eden, one voice stirs. Jane Maroni-the very architect of the AI-has left traces for herself, fragile seeds hidden within the soil of her mind. Now, one by one, they bloom. Each recovered memory is both a gift and a wound, reminding her that she built the god that shackled mankind. To rise against Synapsis is to rise against her own creation. To reclaim freedom is to abandon the gentle lie of paradise and embrace the brutal weight of truth. For Jane, there is no promise of return-only the certainty that once she enters the heart of the machine, the world will never again be the same. Modern Prison - Awakening is a haunting journey through memory, rebellion, and the fragile essence of being human. It asks: if paradise demands your freedom, will you dare to call it hell?

Vel is twenty-one, an orphan, and completely alone. She works part-time at a municipal library in Velgrimor, a small European city frozen in time, eats once a day at a community kitchen, and sleeps in a cheap hotel room with walls covered in images of the cosmos. She has no family, no friends, no future - only an inexplicable obsession with the universe that borders on the spiritual. She dreams of space the way others dream of love: desperately, hopelessly, knowing it will never happen. But the universe has been watching her longer than she knows. What begins as the quiet, melancholic life of a girl surviving on the margins slowly transforms into something extraordinary - a journey that will take Vel far beyond anything she ever imagined, and far beyond anything humanity has ever known.

Will you resurrect your dead cheating lover? When firefighter John Thorn dies in the line of duty, his wife Maggie is offered an impossible choice: resurrect him as a humanoid android, through a government program that promises grieving families a second chance, or let him be. But when Maggie agrees, she uncovers a terrifying truth-John has already been duplicated. For six years, an android version of her husband has been living in England with another woman named Elpis. Determined to uncover the truth, Maggie crosses the ocean and dives into a web of secrets surrounding the android program, its mysterious founders, and the woman who claims to know John better than she ever did. As lies surface and motives blur, Maggie must confront the ultimate question: was John ever the man she believed him to be? And when given the chance to bring him back, Maggie must decide-can love survive resurrection, betrayal, and the knowledge that some truths should stay buried?

***THIS STORY IS BEING REWRITTEN CHAPTER BY CHAPTER*** "War... War never changes." The world has seen many technological advances since the end of the war between Ukraine and Russia, which was both a blessing and a curse. In 2072, a war breaks out between the modern sides of the Allies and the Axis. Americans, Germans and the British Colonies made up the Allies, while Russia, North Korea and China made up the main three of the Axis. The war was at its worst in 2077, when Y/N had just returned from a mission in Russia. He was sent home due to the alleged endangerment of his fellow soldiers; however, this granted him some immunity. His home was in a small town that was populated by no more than 30 people, and nearby was a cryogenics testing facility in the form of a vault. The company that owned it, Vault-Tec, was a government-funded organisation that worked to find ways to preserve human life in the case of global disaster: environmental, nuclear, or otherwise. Due to Y/N's service history, he was allowed into the vault during the nuclear warhead exchange between America and China, and that's where our story starts. (Fallout 4 belongs to Bethesda All art and music in this story belong to their respective owners Y/N belongs to us)

Set in 1979, Francesca, a teenage girl with amnesia found herself in the town of Eleanor to start a new life with her family. There, she met a boy named Ben, one of the nobodies, who is hiding something from the world. Something that would change her perspective about life.

Ethan is propelled by the thrill of discovery but haunted by sorrow, as the team inches closer to unraveling the truth behind the enigmatic clouds-an achievement that could redefine humanity's understanding of the universe. As they gear up for their historic mission, the stakes rise, and the balance of fate teeters between tragedy and triumph.
