About

Genville (speak German "Gen" and French "Ville") "I ruled this city. Until my police chief decided he could do it better. My punishment? Genville. A glass dome in the middle of the city, surrounded by a moat that dissolves me before I can swim ten meters. Inside live the world’s last genetic engineers—behind glass and acid, exactly where the Naturals want them to be after the terrible Gene Wars. The prisoners have built a paradise that doesn’t need me. They themselves are products of genetic engineering, all born in tanks. They are more beautiful than angels, know no shame in sex, no jealousy in love. They don’t build houses. They let them grow. They don’t kill animals. They pluck meat from the bloodbush. If anyone tries to act like the boss, they laugh and throw him into a pond. It’s wonderful, strange, and eerie. I don’t feel at home here. A warrior from the desert has fought his way all the way here. No one knows why. He’s calm, strong, dangerous—everything I’m no longer. My wife sees the difference and despises me even more. Outside, my former police chief is preparing to take the dome. With an army that speaks only one language. Besides the warrior, I’m the only one here who understands the language of violence. But why should I save a world that’s so foreign to me?" ***** Every word was written by me in German. AI was only used for translation. My English is too poor to check if the translation is good. Here you can check what the original, written without AI help, says: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/155683/genville-deutsche-version
