A young man in a bleak future finds himself the subject for a new treatment, that causes him to relive moments of past lives, namely the liberation of Thebes from its Spartan oppressors, and the organisation of the Sacred Band, the ultimate expression of love and trust between men. His experiences in the ancient world begin to colour his perception of the present. Could the developments in Athens and Thebes be exactly what he needs to overcome the stagnant present?

Akropolis by hcedwards
9 parts Complete Mature
"Any thought you ever had; memories, desires, your fears and your dreams, are all recorded and stored safely in the Quantum Cloud for your eventual revival. Death is now merely a transitional period to the next stage of your existence. As a QUBIT (quantum processing biosynthetic), you will experience a life free of disease and suffering. Time is no longer your enemy. Regret is a thing of the past. Each new day brings the promise of endless possibilities, spent in the pursuit of your own happiness, guiltless with the knowledge that there are no longer earthly constraints to inhibit you. This is the life you have always wanted. Welcome to your new beginning..." Akropolis is a city at the end of times, a sanctuary where the brightest and best have been housed since the last Great War. A genome defect has afflicted the majority of the population and scientists are desperate to find a cure. In the meantime, man has found his own salvation in the form of the QUBIT (quantum processing bio-synthetic), an android that is capable of prolonging life almost indefinitely, and yet what makes them human in the first place has been lost in the transition. The ruling council believes that salvation is nigh, but whether that hope arrives in time is questionable. The city's future depends upon the actions of a few individuals, all of whom are struggling with their own mortality. Quentin is the boy who dreams of death. Mia is the tortured soul. Trey is the soldier that defines duty. Misao is the future of the ruling council. Claire is the girl with a secret that will rock the foundations of their entire civilization. Unbeknownst to them, the entire fate of Akropolis lies in their hands. Either humanity will find a way to survive or it will sink slowly into the sea of extinction.

The City of Sin -- Second Draft

2 parts Ongoing Mature

DISCLAIMER -- This is not the first draft, it is unlikely to be the last. This story may be updated at any moment over the years. Welcome to Earth, 2044. Our story begins in the fictional city of Lucin City, Texas. For nearly a century, super-abled humans have existed. For nearly a century, they have been hated. Our story follows the journey of many such humans, as they fight for freedom and liberty, with a dash of saving the world thrown in. NOTE : This story takes place in Thylesia, a multiverse comprised of nine timelines. If you see any familiar names in my other works, that is why.
