El Virus de los culos podridos
By @Gabriel Ángel Gómez
In the decaying, neon-drenched slums of Sector 9, a grotesque bio-weapon known as the Rot-Rump Plague has broken out, turning victims into necrotic, mindless flesh-monsters driven by agonizing hunger. Melany, a cynical street survivor, has managed to evade infection thanks to an uncanny, supernatural agility - she is simply impossible to catch. But her luck runs out when the quarantine walls seal her inside the red zone. To survive the night, she must navigate a labyrinth of decomposing horrors and corrupt corporate cleansers who want to harvest her pristine DNA. As the flesh-eating virus mutates and the infected hunt in packs, Melany is forced to lead a group of helpless survivors she would normally abandon. With her oxygen running low and the grotesque horde closing in, her incredible reflexes are tested to their absolute limit. She must confront the sickening source of the outbreak or become another rotting statistic in the city's worst quarantine failure.

Echoes of a Wiped Slate
By @john1208
Liskra is a brilliant, painfully shy sleep-specialist working at the brutalist Volkhov Sanatorium. After being publicly humiliated and demoted by the Chief Medical Officer for her stubborn refusal to abandon dying patients, she is assigned an impossible case: Vochak, the feared Commander of the Iron Magistrate. Vochak suffers from lethal, chemically-induced insomnia. He is also tearing the subterranean city of Oplot apart in a violent, obsessive search. During a deadly toxic spore-storm and grid blackout, a mysterious woman used him for a desperate one-night stand, then vanished without a trace, wiping all security footage and leaving absolutely nothing behind. Vochak wants her found, believing she was a saboteur who stole state secrets. What neither of them knows is that Liskra is the culprit. Her past self intentionally engineered the blackout, the encounter, and the memory wipes - including her own - to use the terrifying commander as a living incubator for a plague cure. As Vochak's interrogations close in, and a black-market data broker decrypts an analog backup of the hotel footage, Liskra must piece together the horrifying conspiracy her past self orchestrated. Will she survive the revelation of her own masterpiece?

Side Effects of a Saint
By @john1208
Fiodor Czernek is sixty-eight, coughing up black tar, and simply too kind for his own good. In the quarantined slums of Oszigrad, compassion is a death sentence. But when a bleeding street-child collapses on his stoop, Fiodor awakens the [Clinical Trial System]. It forces the frail old man into tense, violent medical extractions to save the helpless, rewarding his successes with randomized biological grafts. At first, it feels like a miracle: a randomized lung clears his rot, a randomized retina lets him see in the dark. He weaponizes his new vigor to protect the weak. But there is a terrifying catch. The rewards are a trap. Every random organ and tissue sample spliced into his frail body belongs to a dormant, man-eating biological weapon the city's elites buried decades ago. The more people Fiodor saves, the more of his humanity is overwritten by an insatiable, monstrous hunger. Can a man whose heart bleeds for everyone survive when his own body is mutating to devour them?

Oi banana
By @Manuela
Leo Finch just wants a normal, unnoticed life, but a peculiar genetic quirk has burdened him with the power to command bananas. He can accelerate their growth, animate their stalks into whip-like tendrils, or even harden their peels into resilient shields. For years, he’s viewed this bizarre ability as a cosmic joke, a source of constant embarrassment he meticulously hides. However, when a silent, creeping biomechanical blight, known only as "The Rot," begins to consume vibrant cities and natural landscapes, turning all life into inert, metallic rust, Leo's absurd gift becomes humanity's last, strangest hope. He must overcome his profound self-consciousness and wield his fruity arsenal against an encroaching apocalypse, battling not only the relentless destruction but also the world's disbelief in a hero who fights with fruit. Can a man mocked by his own power truly save a world teetering on the brink?
