Retrofuture Stories

A BTS futuristic tale from the perspective of three different groups of characters. Retro Friends: Yoongi, Jimin and Jin. Retro Love: Jungkook and Taehyung. Retro Dance: Namjoon and Hoseok. Based on mystylezutter's edit.

A book about the hopeless life in a cyberpunk dystopia. It started out as a small short story I had to write for an English assignment for school. But I got interested in expanding my little world and expressing my grievances with the world, society and corporations like this. I aim to tell stories about freedom and control, technology and ecology and how the human condition can potentially change (or not) in the future.

A collaborative story written by Team Decopunk during @Ooorah's "Epic Tales From beautiful Minds" event. Embark on adventures both strange and awe-inspiring with these retro-futurists extraordinaire, weavers of words and worlds bedecked in chrome, and explorers of the glamour of a tomorrow that could have been and may yet come to pass. @WilliamJJackson @LadyAmanita @TheNeutralParty @minusfractions and @Jazzfeathers

The year is 2117. A mechanical sentry has been patrolling the same route for all four months of his service, when a mysterious intruder breaks into the facility he's guarding. However, her face brings back memories of a past far more intricate than a machine could experience. As more is revealed about his previous life, a lethal intelligence inside the facility gets closer with every move he makes... ~ I made the cover art myself. As a young writer, I really enjoy hearing your say on the story and improving it. So, drop those comments! Even if they might be scathing, all that matters is if they're constructive. Also, as the story progresses, I'll be hosting events such as fanart , fanfic , theory and maybe even voiceover contests! If you'd like to find more art of the characters or clarification on exactly who they are, just ask on my Reddit and Google+ accounts (its TheDarkVoxel for both.)

In a alternate world shattered by war and oppression, a new threat emerges from the very fabric of reality itself. When a rift between dimensions opens, bringing alien invaders from an alternate universe into the fractured Earth, the already devastated world faces its final battle. Julia, a skilled Jaeger pilot from a resistance movement, is thrust into the heart of this battle alongside her partner, Kaito, as they struggle to protect humanity from the forces of the unknown. With each strike, they come closer to the alien invaders' mysterious leader, the entity controlling the breach that is tearing their world apart. As Julia and Kaito fight to close the rift and stop the invasion, they must also confront the disturbing truths about the nature of the breach itself, the forces manipulating their reality, and the dark consequences of their actions. In a world where survival is uncertain and the future is a fragile hope, they must trust in each other and their Jaeger to face a cataclysmic showdown with the alien horde. Breach of Worlds is a thrilling crossover that blends the gritty, alternate history of The Man in the High Castle with the high-octane action and epic scale of Pacific Rim. A story of survival, resilience, and the blurred lines between dimensions, it asks the question: can humanity overcome its past in time to save its future?

From his birth in Fai'lei, he faced the abuse of his drunken father, the attacks of the metal horrors known as Spectres, and the raids of the neighboring Archian. On one such raid, Minyu is carried away from Fai'lei to the home of the enemy himself, the broken and enigmatic Duke James Asalt. Bound to his sworn enemy under strange circumstances, Minyi is issued an ultimatum: survive for three years, and be rewarded with freedom. But all is not what it seems. For these two individuals, placed at the opposite ends of fate, are closer together than they think.

Tristan of Steelbend arrives in the famous city of Hosanna with nothing but his beloved harp and a pocket full of dreams. In this beautiful Kingdom By The Sea, mysterious angelic beings known as the Seraphim rule and protect mankind from the insidious Devils. Tristan hopes for fame and freedom in his glorious new home. Secrets unravel the further he's drawn into the echelons of power within the city, and the price he must pay may prove too great a sacrifice. This decopunk re-telling of Edgar Allan Poe's famous poem 'Annabel Lee' was inspired by vintage science fiction, cyberpunk, and noir. The original story appeared in "Merely This And Nothing More", a collection of 'punked Poe' stories published by Writerpunk Press. The version published here is an expanded story containing previously unreleased scenes.

Her loving family and complacent life in the rural town of Plumgrove are sheltered from the outside world, though the War with the Pruessian Empire has raged across Earth for two generations. Even the most peaceful havens fall on Black Sky Day, as the robotic armies of the Kaezer devastate the homeworld. Faced with overwhelming destruction, Lily and her loved ones begin a journey driven by sacrifice, and the will to remain free.
