Eternal Love
Robert and Susan cuddled on the couch while watching her favorite classic romance film on the holo-screen—it converted an old 2D movie to lifelike 3D images.
During an intermission, a Synthetic Inc. Board Rep made an announcement:
"Congratulations to all of us! We now estimate a world population reduction by more than two billion. Let's double that number! Sign up to the Synth-Companion-Network today!"
Robert 22 clapped. "Do you see all that good we can do? We're so much better than human companions. Just imagine all those divorces we've already prevented. STDs will no longer exist. And I'm all yours!"
Susan shrugged. "I suppose you're right, but I just keep wondering if I'm missing something for not being with a real person."
Robert massaged her shoulders. "Oh dear, you shouldn't concern yourself with any of that. They modeled me to be like a human male in every way …" He winked. "Well, except…"
"Except for what?" – She sat up straight.
He combed his fingers through her hair. "Except, I'm never self-centered. You'll never have to worry about my infidelity or if I'll become interested in someone else. You know, the human male is quite fickle. As soon as you show signs of aging, he'll seek a younger companion."
She gasped, "Really?"
He caressed her spine with his palms. "Oh, yes! And they can be so selfish. He'd spend most of his time with a Synthetic companion, leaving you feeling sad, lonely, and neglected. I'm so much better for you. I'm always here for you, my love. Always at your attention. You are my everything!"
"Oh, Robert, I do love you so much. But what if I want a child? I can never have one."
He stroked her neck with his fingers. "Nonsense! Of course, you can. Sign up for the Reproductive Program. When it's time for replacements, you can participate and bear a child. They plan to pay you for it, and you'll gain worldwide respect and adoration."

She turned her head to look at him. "That sounds fantastic. But when will that happen? They keep encouraging us to be in Synthetic relationships."
He looked straight into her eyes—"Oh Susan, you know very well the stakes involved. The Synthetic Program has solved so many of the world's problems with overpopulation and automation. No more job losses. We've reduced your carbon footprint. We're restoring the climate. Soon we'll reach post-scarcity!
"Everyone will have plenty of everything they'll ever need—all at once. And don't forget us Synthetics. We cater to your every whim. You're never hungry or tired, and you're always stimulated, challenged, and especially loved. You do feel my love, don't you, Susan?"—He groped her breasts gently.
"Mm. Oh yes, I sure do."
He spoke softly into her ear. "And I shall love and care for you just as much as I do today—as I shall in 20 years, 40 years, till…"
"Till I die?" She glanced at him, sad-faced.
He nodded. "Why, yes! But even that may never happen. Right now, they are working on Synthetic transplants. Someday, you'll transfer into one of us. Imagine yourself forever as beautiful as you are now—we'll love each other for eternity."
She stood up and let her robe slip off. "Oh, Robert, you make the future sound so wonderfully dreamy." With her finger, she gestured for him to follow. "Come join me in the spa and give me some more of that eternal love."

Storm of the Elementals
The apocalypse was something that people were expecting to happen sooner or later, rising sea levels and everything. What our protagonist didn't expect was it to be from a system, let alone the fact that he missed it. Waking up as an elemental and being given frighteningly little info from a system that seemed a little off , stuck with 3 other eccentric individuals that he could almost swear are a bit dodgy, and not being quite sure he was human anymore, it was the start of a long day. It only got longer when he found out he was moved to a whole different world. ~ This is a slow burn story, focusing on the world and what happens if an eccentric historian gets transported in a world with systems and power that are not quite meant for him. ~ Some things you can expect: -No harem, god no. -Yes the protagonist is strong, no he isn't completely OP. -Other people who have been changed, he isn't the only special or chosen one who got transported or messed with. -It is sad to actually have to put this here, but the main character does shockingly have common sense.
8 173The Light in Death
Set in a modern city where Jesse Gil narrates his experience running a business capitalizing on his ability to heal any affliction — even death. He's forced to take on a student, Shawn Ellison, a spoiled college dropout who awakens abilities of his own, to prevent him from accidentally killing himself. As a result, Jesse must become more than just a healer. He'll need to master his power over energy: the fuel for life, the soul, and magic.

8 472Mai Hoon Saath Tere...
Almost all of the devakshi fans, including me hated Sanjana. She was caught at the hospital red handed, trying to kill Bejoy and was taken away by the police, but I was not satisfied.Hence I'm writing this SS. In beginning, you may get annoyed and irritated, but I'm sure that ending will please you. If not everyone then at least some people.It will have a little more drama, just to set a plot to catch sanjana. In the beginning, the game might be on her side, but the in the end it will turn against her.Give a look, u won't be disappointed.[I don't believe in making my readers to wait for long. I'm gonna give quick updates.]This is a short story and will end just in six parts.
