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)

Lab Rat(18+) by LovedAThousandLives

. Three years. It had been three years since he'd been taken, experimented on, had his DNA altered and became a freak of nature. He knew because he'd managed to peek at the computer when they dragged him into that dreaded room; the one they used to prod, poke and inject him with god-knows-what. He was considered their only success - meaning their illegal tests hadn't killed him or rendered him paralysed, or worse; brain dead. He was subject 254. And he was the only survivor. At least until she - subject 391 - moved into the cell next door. - - 18th June 2018 - Rank 1 #sciencefiction 17th May 2019 - Rank 4 #romance 22nd Feb 2019 - Rank 1 #superpowers -- ** NOW COMPLETED**

Limitless by whynygo

After the Earth has been struck by a nuclear explosion causing a genetic mutation, the survivors divided themselves according to what intelligence they belonged to. But when mankind completely lost humanity, how can Abigail fulfill her promise? ***** When a nuclear explosion called The Swept wiped half of the Earth's remaining population, those who survived then were exposed to a radiation. A radiation causing a genetic mutation in an individual's brain and altering its intellectual capacity resulting to an increase in Intelligence Quotient (IQ) level. However, years after the explosion happened, the decrease in fertility rate became visible. Due to this, numerous scientists searched everywhere and tried everything just to find a cure, but all they could ever find is an alternative way of reproduction. An inhumane way. Born under the Natural District--one of the five districts of the Pentagon, Abigail Azarcon is an empathetic but reckless girl who believes that nothing is more important to this world other than humanity. Because of this, she's determined to enter Nucleus Academy and eager to fulfill her promise--to restore Earth's humanity especially empathy, and to prove that being humane is limitless. But how can she fulfill her promise if there are so many overwhelming obstacles blocking her way? Apathetic people. Inhumane experiments. Mad scientists. And a strange organization. Will she be able to fulfill her promise or will she break it and gave up on mankind? LANGUAGE: TAGLISH (TAGALOG-ENGLISH)
