Ah, his brother. Almost just how he remembered him.

His grin stretched wider on his face, showing off both teeth and gums. “Ah, it has been a while since we last spoke to each other, brother.”

Veli sneered, showing off his perfectly straight pearly white teeth. Isn’t he a delight? “You forfeited the right to call me brother when you betrayed us, Kali.”

In a grim future, the United States has become divided into two nations. In the southern nation of Hemlock, the controlled masses known as “Victims” are refused simple rights known to American in the past such as the rights to love freely, speak your mind, or freedom of religion. The Deceivers are working to control the population and keep a constant state of war. The Infiltrators do the dirty work of the Deceivers.An everyday citizen, Blue, known in Hemlock as Subject 1116, has had enough of these rules and has decided he would rather live life as a fugitive participating in acts of love than to be a mindless pawn of the Deceivers of Hemlock.

This is his story.

Hemlock is a place that contained a horrible government, at least that’s what Blue thinks- and knows it is. He’s on a mission to take down this dystopian government and maybe fix a city so grey. Soon he’d find someone who may be a huge amount of help to his goal- or not, who knows, anything can happen…

After the car crash, Silas didn’t wake up on the side of the road, or in the hospital, but inside a strange facility decades into the future, with a new body built for battle, and no memory of how he got there or what it all means.

Now, he’s on the run from killer androids and the army of automatons they control, in a dystopian, post-apocalyptic landscape ravaged by war.

The only way for him to save what’s left of humanity and recover his memory is to go directly into the heart of the beast, confronting his most powerful enemies in order to take their special abilities—called Protocols—as his own.

Idulon is a world where you’re born with no freedom. Everything- watched over, and if you stray off the path even the slightest amount, you won’t even live till the next day.

With everything controlled, it also means citizens of Idulon are born with specific jobs assigned to them that they cannot change.

Kaine Arca, an 11-year-old boy who works as a trainee for Idulon’s military, is told he has to go to Earth, a mysterious place that’s never been discovered before. Of course, there are rules once he gets there, but he realizes he has more freedom than ever before.

**Prologue***The year was 2050.*When Alyn Winters was just five years old, the ominous shadow of war loomed over the world. It marked the onset of the Third World War, an event that the United Nations had desperately tried to prevent but couldn't. Nearly the entire globe became embroiled in the conflict. The West found itself in fierce battles with Russia (and the remnants of Ukraine), China asserted its control over Taiwan, Palestine vanished from the geopolitical map, and India relinquished its northern territories to both Pakistan and China. North Korea stood as the sole Korea, and the once-unified NATO had dissolved.At that pivotal moment, Alyn and her family were in France, and she, being the second-born, was merely a five-year-old navigating a world thrust into chaos. Tragically, she lost her entire family in a bombing orchestrated by Korea, targeting the entirety of the EU. Alyn, along with her elder brother who was fortunately at school during their parents' demise, became part of the unfortunate civilian casualties.Similarly, Ryan Philips, the grandson of Leah Philips and a close friend of Alyn's grandfather, Ashton Winters, shared a parallel fate. Alyn and Ryan had been good friends until the age of five and six, respectively. The bombing claimed both of their families, leaving them orphaned. However, their paths diverged afterward – Ryan found a new home with his aunt in London, while Alyn sought solace with her grandparents in Paris. The two childhood friends, united by tragedy, unknowingly embarked on separate journeys, never crossing paths again.*Present year - 2071***Author's Note:** *Welcome to the unfolding narrative!

It was 2039 when the war began… and ended the world.

The mentions of blue skies, a field of green grass and rich fresh air, it seemed like a fairytale told by the elderly that had supposedly once lived in such conditions.

But whether it was the truth or not, it mattered very little when all that remained were clouds of dark that never became white, rivers that looked sickly and were in a deep shade of green, and the lands appeared to be dead and scorched.

Fortunately, there were still ways to earn ‘money’ to make a living.

That’s as far as my concerns go.
