cosmic death decay dystopian extintion fantastic heroes multiverse sci-fi science-fantasy science-fiction short-story soulgivers superpowers surreal war

What does death look like to immortal people? An odd flash of light and a sinister black snow have brought a cosmic disease upon the Shell people, who now suddenly find themselves fragile, weak, and brittle just like their burnt land made of deserts. A group of legendary heroes is called to aid and find a cure to the Decay, and this will soon lead them into a  war against an unexpected enemy. But when they arrive on the battlefield, they find out a terrible truth.

English translation by Giulia Casati.

Info for new readers: 
This is my debut on Wattpad and I have a huge, burning desire to tell you my stories. I ask for all your support and your comments in order to grow!

The Soulgivers story is made up of a collection of short stories that together form the narrative picture in which the events related to the Decay unfold. The Decay is a cosmic disease of a thousand faces which is bringing the people of the Multiverse to extinction and that was created by the destruction of First RIng, the artificial planet that made multiple realities possible.

Each story unveils a small sliver of these realities and shows us a glimpse of the diversity of its people and the role of the Soulgivers, the long-standing protectors of the existence whose origins are lost in the mists of time.

The series of stories is poised between sci-fi and fantasy, where the inevitable war for the cure to the Decay, which will just be enough for only one population, is driven by the desperate instinct to survive oblivion.

L.O.V.E. by denissebloom04

100 years ago, amidst WW3's nuclear bombing, a deadly virus was released in the atmosphere and nearly wiping out the humanity. It lives inside the human brain thriving on the empathy receptors, leading to irrational behaviour and ultimately brain death. To slow the damage, scientists created L.O.V.E, short for Living Off Vital Emotions, a nanovaccine that numbs the virus and switches off all strong emotions. As a last resort and with a dying planet, the Supreme Government created the City, a place to contain the infected survivors suitable for the experiment. Those in the first stages of illness became ideal candidates to receive the neuroinhibitor. Having their feelings restrained and their memory altered, those who come of age are designated a life partner through a Selection process, thus preserving the humankind. A few decades after the trial had started, scientists had a major breakthrough. The nanites, which are highly chemically reactive organisms, are changing their bio-engineered purpose when dopamine levels are high. With a new generation of nanoids, stronger and smarter to fight the battle, the virus doesn't have a chance. Many attempts were made to create a man-made version of synthetic dopamine and each time the outcome was a disaster. Their goal is to create new generations, immune to the virus. These are called Purebloods, the offsprings of those who find pure love, the only cure to save them from a violent death. Running out of time, the Experiment entered in its final stages. To minimize the threats, the Colonies have sent their best soldiers to oversee the trial and protect its key subjects. If only things were going according to plan, or better...stay hidden. With Iron Guard, the resistance outside the walls, hunting the Purebloods too, will the trial save human race before it's too late? #3 in #dystopianfuture (27.06.2020)

The Foreigner & The Pessimist (malexmale) by OliveWalden

***Book 1 of the Soulmates Series*** In the middle of an intergalactic war for freedom and rights, there exists a distant technologically militant planet called Gav'yx, where next to becoming a soldier, finding your soulmate is everything. So much, that the first thing all Gav'yxians see upon their birth, is the image of their future soulmate on the exact day and in the exact place they're destined to meet them. However, on a futuristic earth - now called Uniterra - the idea of finding one's soulmate is a belief held by very few. Especially when it comes to seventeen-year-old Lane Nishimura, a pessimistic student in the extremely competitive space training program at Unity High, struggling with keeping the secrets of his very mysterious and dark past, his mental health, self-esteem, and slew of trust issues caused by years of failed friendships, bullying, and sub-par romances that's left him all but giving up on the idea of there ever being someone out there destined for him. And then along comes Zuuro; a lovestruck alien from the planet Gav'yx, who's long dreamed of the day he'd finally meet Lane, and of getting what would surely be his happily ever after. However, as he soon discovers, finding romance with Lane is not as easy as he assumed. Because not only does Lane not know he and Zuuro are destined to be together, but due to almost losing everything in his last breakup, and to what he's sure is just another trick being played on him by his half-brother, Darin, he's extremely reluctant to open himself up and risk getting close to anyone again. Will Lane allow love to prevail, or will his mistrust and the secrets of his past doom them before it's even had a chance? Find out, in The Foreigner & The Pessimist, the first installment in the all new Soulmates series.

"Goodbye Curly Head" by NUmaker

Through thick and thin the Law shall prevail. A new sense of purpose awaits us, children of light, in the land where it all began. The darkness in which we once cowered in fear, now curbed by the might of our endless light. Come, brothers, come, sisters. Let there be peace among the wicked, just as the Law dictates. Peace and certainty is all that you have ever longed for, little angel. A bright, stable future. A roof without holes above thy head. Acknowledgement and recognition of thy existence, feverish dreams of grandeur. Greed born from yearning, treacherous vines of rapacity taint your innocent soul. You seek a future that does not exist. Let thy fingers hold the fragile line between dream and nightmare. Let thy light navigate the path. Shall thee give in and falter, O' land of old, envelop his body in thy unending flame of chaos. Spit out nothing but an empty husk, the remnants of a smile once so bright. Shall thee prevail, O', Great Kazdel, I ask of you, the impossible - take mercy on the innocent. Don't let the radiance dim and don't let the mind turn bleak. Wake, young traveler. Bid thy farewells and burn thy bridges. It's time to say goodbye, curly head. Cross post from AO3. For a shorter and more on-point description, look no further! I had something silly written up before throwing it out in exchange for that wall of text upstairs. It's a little story "about a young, dumb sankta who's been dealt a bad hand at life, looking for his place in all this mess. The pointless search for a better future leads him far, far away from home, to a country forever ravaged by war and misery - Kazdel, the promised land where devils roam free and peace feels out of place." Anyway, it's quite lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable? Slide a comment if you want, I'll give you a tiny kiss on the forehead. Man, do I love comments. (Lastly, to point out, English is not my native language, but I don't think it'll be much of an issue ;3)

Starlo and the Sick by R3myR3ad3r

You're just a simple human. You hate conflict and overall confrontation. It rids you with an unexplainable anxiety. Now, you've been contaminated with some human-borne disease that nobody has heard of, and you're destined to die in three weeks. With family you're stressing about upsetting and overbearing friends you try to ignore; you find your only option left to be the pit in the mountain. Apparently (in your mind, at least), death by falling (and breaking EVERY. SINGLE. DAMN. BONE. IN. YOUR. BODY!!) is better than death by unexplainable sickness. -NOTES- I did not make Undertale OR Undertale Yellow (the fangame version). There are not NEARLY enough UT Yellow fics, so I decided I'd be one to contribute lol Don't expect it to be good, though. This is a soulmate au :) Starlo x Gn!Sick!Reader The smoking is in that one scene in chapter six near the end. Starlo doesn't actually smoke XP I MADE THE COVER :D This is the black&white ver, so if you want the full color 1, i'll get to work, just ask! My soulmate AU is a bit different than others tho (I think). It branches off of the hanaki disease, but without the one-sided love. If a monster and a human are paired together, the human gains the drawbacks of the bond, getting said disease. Bonds such as this are rare, but apparently not TOO rare for your case. The only way to rid yourself of the disease is to mix the flowers with your bonded's blood (monsters don't bleed, but as a substitute, they can infuse a small amount of HP into the mixture to have the same affect). This antidote is unknown, as is the sickness, due to it being mostly off the records for decades. There are some small studies on it though, but most humans don't find their monster soulmate. Lucky for you, the fates are cheering you on.

We're leaving this city.. (human sans aus/ Zombie apocalypse) by Dark_moon983

This is a story of a Zombie apocalypse which the sans au's go through, following in the perspective of either nightmare, Error or a third person dream. They're trying to leave the dangerous city that they called 'safety and opportunity', many shall not leave, others may be lost out of boarder. First story written! Also not good, new updated version. A group of scientists - kind of including Science but since he's amazing it's not his fault... - made a special completely confusing disease that involved in the death of the brain but not the body. They are separated into different ways of their lives(?) The bite to eat and the bite of create. One is to feed themselves the other is to carry on their quickly spreading disease. My art as the cover! Yes it is definitely not the best but it's not the worst! Characters are sans aus (sorry if it's incorrect or spelt wrong!): Nightmare/dream - Joku Killer - Rahafwabas Error - Crayon Queen Dust - Ask-Dusttale Horror - sourapplestudios Blue - P0pcornPr1nce Ink - Comyet Ccino - (no clue) Red - under community(?) Reaper - Ren Geno - Crayon Queen ⚠️Warning ⚠️ Not finished Bad detail Gore Character deaths

Night Disease by kipekipe

REVISED EDITION COMING OUT MONTHLY/COMPLETED In a world overrun by zombies, A single bite heralds doom - except for Kaindra, who defies death itself, being undead already. ******** As humanity struggles to adapt to the new reality of zombies-infested streets and lurking supernatural creatures from ancient myths and legends, survival becomes an ever-evolving challenge. Survival is a constant battle not only against the undead but also against supernatural creatures and their zealous followers. The relentless onslaught of zombies and the mysterious reemergence of mythical beings push society to its limits. Civilization's last bastions fall one by one, teetering on the brink of collapse. As these ancient myths awaken, they reveal intentions that are far from clear- some may hold the key to salvation, while others could herald further doom. The question remains: Can humanity unravel the mysteries of these legendary beings in time to save themselves, or will they fall prey to the very legends they once dismissed? ___ Excerpt: Taking a deep breath, I lean closer to the mirror, my skin prickling. I thought it was a trick of the light, but as I stare at my reflection, my fragile lies crumble away. The reflection staring back at me feels unrecognizable. My once deep, dark brown eyes now glimmer with an otherworldly light, like twin moons suspended in a sea of silver. The faint glow within them swirls softly, catching the dim flicker of flame I summoned, like ripples across a moonlit lake. Their alien intensity sends a chill down my spine. The orbs seemed to hold a universe within, depths of endless mysteries and ancient wisdom beyond my grasp. ___ Warning: Mentions of suicide and self-harm Beautiful cover made by @scmimi.

The Misvan Gatu: Intentions by LeahMichaels

Humanity have always questioned their mortality. The world; riddled with disease and crime, each day gifted with a sense of dread. "I'm getting older." Humans have evolved, fought wars, overcome the impossible and survived as a species, until now. Now that they question death and what comes after. Among the humans are a group of people, hiding in plain sight. Those that inexplicably are able to connect with their souls on an entirely different level to most. They have no name, hidden purely by disbelief, in a society that doubts those that are different. How do you name something that you refuse to acknowledge exists? The Misvan Gatu is an underground government controlled by an unknown force. It is their mission to find a cure for the death of a soul, not caring who they may destroy in the process. Misguided and twisted by an evil unknown they are driven by the need to know more about the afterlife. Breaking down barriers and finding answers to questions best left unasked. If the soul could be transferred then that human life could continue, couldn't it? And if there was a way of stopping death and harnessing the power of the human soul what else could we accomplish? This is where faith and science began to work together. Already you must understand that the two are not compatible? Book one in a trilogy of short novellas. This will be entered into the #youngwritersprize competition. Save your vote for the first chapter on the 17th of August. Any votes on other chapters would be appreciated now. I will respond to every comment, I really appreciate any support that my lovely readers can give me. This is part one, in a trilogy of short novellas.
