Sun - The Rising Hope

In a world where technology meets survival, one girl’s immunity could save humanity—or destroy it. Follow a defiant teen navigating a dystopian landscape where free will is extinguished by the United Government. Will she become the beacon of hope everyone desperately needs, or will the secrets of her past prove too dangerous to uncover?

Sun – The Rising Hope 

For ten years, I’ve survived alone in a world where being disconnected means being hunted. While others live as mindless shells in their ‘perfect’ Utopian cities, controlled by a virus that steals their humanity, I remain immune – a secret that makes me both valuable and dangerous.

I thought finding my brother in the Recalibration Center would be my greatest challenge. Instead, I’ve discovered I’m at the center of a decades-old experiment, my blood holding secrets that could either save humanity or destroy it. Now, with unlikely allies by my side and enemies closing in, I’m running out of time to uncover the truth about who – and what – I really am.

They wanted to break me, to control me, to use me as their weapon. But they forgot one thing: I’ve spent my entire life learning how to survive. And I won’t stop fighting until I get the answers I need – no matter the cost.

Be brave, but be smart. That’s what my brother always said. Now those words mean more than ever.

Benjamin Night

 

The first time I saw Ben, I noticed how his eyes could shift from clinical detachment to something warmer in an instant. His hands are steady when he’s patching up wounds, but they tremble slightly when they touch mine. He walks around with this cocky smile like he’s got everything figured out, but I’ve seen the shadows that cross his face when he thinks no one’s looking. There’s something about the way he carries himself—confident but cautious—that makes me feel both protected and exposed. I can’t decide if that thrills or terrifies me. When everyone else sees the doctor, I see the boy who lost his parents, the man trying to heal others when parts of himself are still broken.

I’ve spent my life fixing broken bodies, but somehow you’re the one healing parts of me I didn’t even know were damaged. I can’t promise you safety in this world, Sun – but I can promise you won’t face it alone.

Cora Daniels

 

I wasn’t sure what to make of Cora at first—her sharp edges and fiercer loyalty. She watches everyone like she’s cataloging threats, always positioning herself between Marco and danger without a second thought. I recognize that protective instinct; I lived it with my brother. There’s a hardness to her that comes from loss, from having to be strong when nobody else could be. But I’ve caught glimpses of something else beneath the combat-ready exterior—moments of uncertainty when she looks at Ben, flashes of gentleness when she thinks no one’s watching. She doesn’t trust easily, and that makes the moments when she does all the more valuable.

I don’t have the luxury of hesitation. When you’ve spent your life fighting, you learn that survival isn’t just about strength—it’s about knowing which battles matter. I protect what’s mine, always. It’s not complicated, it’s necessary.

Marco Daniels

 

Marco reminds me of Elijah in ways that make my heart ache with familiarity. His mind works at this incredible speed, fingers dancing across keyboards like he’s speaking their language. He gets so excited explaining things that his glasses slide down his nose, and he doesn’t even notice. Where others see a kid, I see someone who’s saved us more times than anyone acknowledges. There’s this innocence about him that should have been crushed in this world, but somehow survived—and I find myself wanting to protect that flame. His optimism feels like a small miracle in our darkness, a reminder that some people can still see wonder where others only see danger.

People look at me and see a kid with a computer. That’s their mistake. I see patterns where others see chaos, possibilities where others see dead ends. Sometimes the person everyone underestimates is exactly the one who changes everything.
