Teslapunk Stories

When a young boy is cheated out of his prize from a dice game, he must steal an artifact for the people who cheated him in the first place to earn it back. No AI was used in writing this story. AI cannot make choices, it can only find averages.

This thing needs rewriting. I think this was part of a contest, but I can't remember anymore. I remember it was fun to write.

In a world divided by a silent technological Cold War, Vienna dances beneath the hypnotic glow of Tesla coils, while New York pulses with Edison's restless ambition. Elisabeth von Coilova - a brilliant Habsburg noblewoman hiding a deeply romantic soul behind perfect elegance - has spent her life surrounded by power, expectation, and carefully guarded secrets. Aiden Thibodaux- a sharp-tongued American prodigy from the jazz-soaked streets of Louisiana - arrives at Vienna University with little more than raw talent, stubborn ambition, and a scholarship he cannot afford to lose. Forced to collaborate on a classified transmitter project, their worlds collide. What begins as rivalry and cultural friction slowly turns into stolen glances, midnight frequencies, and a connection neither empire can permit. But in an age where science is power, universities are battlefields, and every signal is being watched, their forbidden transmission may become the most beautiful - and dangerous - frequency in the world. A retro-futuristic Cold War romance about music, distance, and two hearts searching for each other through the static.

At the end of a glorious era, an unknown catastrophic event known as the "Cataclysm" plunged the world in complete darkness; rendering the planet cold and desolate as deep cracks within the surface begins to emerged. Horrifying creatures and unspoken monstrosities began to emerge from the dark cracks of reality. A few kindling souls must band together and make their way through the ruins of their fallen city and before the earth below them brings down their entire civilization into the ground. "Witness the tales of madness and despair that forever fills the pages of The Book of Nightmares." -Dr. Sweet T.

Over 10,000 years in the future, after the end of countless world wars, an event known as the Great Fissure occurred during the final world war and formed a fluctuating rift in space as the region, now known as Fracture's Embrace, was destroyed. Since then, many creatures and beings of unknown origins came through that portal to our world. Over 300 years have passed since then and the Earth has finally recovered from those events. On the largest continent in the world, Eurasia, humans established protected cities under the rule of a high emperor in the ancient floating city of Akasha, one of the last few Old World cities to survive the end of the eighth era. In the year 362 of the ninth era, the story follows a 24 year old assassin and master of stealth, Crim Son Draxen, and his 21 year old tech-inventing partner, Garret Tesla, as they and their companions uncover the mysteries of the world and stop those who would use its power to harm innocents. Parents strongly cautioned. CrimSon Fissure contains scenes of intense violence, blood & gore, mild language, mild sexual references, drug & alcohol usage, and disturbing images.

Tevun-Krus' best and baddest come together in this 'Best of' compilation of epic short stories. Enjoy, 'troopers!

A punk genre story set in an alternate 1940's, the British Empire is the strongest nation to exist. They've conquered most of Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa. They control the strongest navy, army, and sky fleet. The United States is a sleeping giant controlling the entirety of the Americas. Japan has asserted themselves as the dominant power in Asia and the Eurasian Empire is suffering from hardships with the Tzar fearing a communist rebellion. Antarctica (called Terra Australis or Australia), lush and green in this timeline, is split between the United States, Japan, Britain and many independent nations. But among these major powers are pirates. The United Pirate Alliance has sea, land and air forces. We follow a pirate clan known as the Eyes of the Skies. They're the biggest thorn in the side for the British and Japanese Empires, often also getting into scraps with the United States and sometimes even Russians. But now, their Ace pilot named Desmond Blackwell and his squadron may have found something. Something that could change the world forever.

Nikola is a spy for the most known criminal investigators of East Waterside, the Royal Officers of Secret Special Investigations: ROSSI.

Using the animals of the city's bodies as a vessel, she witnesses an exchange that could lead to a murder being prevented. When an investigation goes horribly wrong due to running out of time, she ends up invited to the victims' funeral, and it turns out it was someone she had known in the past. Who can Nikola trust? What lies in her future?
