My stories

Unexpected InheritancePrologue
Things are never as they seem to be. I learned that the hard way. My name is Lang Ren. I'm raised in France, but my parents always said I originally came from somewhere in Asia, although my face doesn't give that away.
I was found all alone in the sewers of Paris. The first few years afterwards I lived in a orphanage. I was raised strictly. There was no television in the orphanage and computers weren't invented yet. Even though life was hard, it wasn't that bad. I had many friends. There were somewhere around twenty children and although we had some fights, we could get along with each other.
Every once in a while a new child came and sometimes others left when they were adopted. When you get used to that, it isn't hard to make new friends. I tried to keep in touch with some of them, but it's not easy, because I had to come home right after school. Telephone use was also not allowed, except when it was an emergency or when a former orphan had a birthday.

Small mistake, huge consequencesPrologue
Technology advances day by day. Sometimes this happens fluently, and sometimes there are many challenges to overcome. Occationally some peculiar outcomes could change our lives forever. I know mine did...
180 years ago, at the start of this millenium, the technology of DNA alteration was kickstarted. It was a rapidly advancing technology with great opportunities. Only, there was one problem. The government was afraid that this modification would cause too many problems, like genetic 'perfection', racism and maybe even infertility between the altered person and normal humans, as at that time we didn't know enough about DNA, to prevent those side effects. There was a strict rule that no human is allowed to be altered.
Without the support of the government, the scientist continued their research with animals, because that was allowed. Even with the limitations the government enforced, the technology advanced decade after decade.
In 2089 even the government couldn
Mageia PrologueVery few of us know of its existence, but many have heard of it. Some believe in it, some don't. Some people fear it and some praise it. Some say it's the unknown, waiting for us to find it.
If you haven't seen it, you won't know the greatness of its existence, its power, its responsibility, its task. No one could ever describe it fully, the words are neither known to man, nor to nature.
It's all around us, maybe invisible to the naked eye, but undeniably there. It's keeping time ticking, keeping  the sun shining and keeping life living.
You feel it when you are lucky, you feel it when you are not. You feel it when live is given or when it is taken away. You feel it when you love and when you are loved.
We have no control over what it will bring... or do we? Can we shape the world with its powers? Can we be the ones who make this planet a better place? Can it be used for good? Can it be used for bad? Will it make thinks right or maybe wrong?
All we know is the name we have given it. A
