The war has begun, the deterioration of life as we know it. Ocean still struggles to forget about her past traumas; the haunting effect has grown. She had long since, however, given in to the fear of her own emotions. The abrupt ending of the world had just given the pedestal to another type of fear, a more deadly kind. The infection had spread widely, like an all-consuming wildfire, and the outside world had been overtaken. The fight had grown; the enemy now more than just the undead, but the living as well. Power-hungry fools and Seekers for a cure are hot on Ocean's heels, but will she give in? The search for her aunt continues, but now she isn't alone. She has made a new family as well, a mismatched group of people fighting to survive. Staring death down daily had changed her, warped her mind. The fight against her own thoughts and the evolving dangers of the world had moulded her. Will her slow deterioration impact those around her? TW!!!

(Zombieland/zombie AU) (Aged up AU) All y/n wanted to do was come home and tell her boyfriend some maybe exciting news after a long and tiring day. But that never happened. He was cheating on her with several other women at once. How sad. But what's even worse is when her friends come to help her, her ex and the other women become cannibalistic creatures that were thought to only exist in movies. Join us! Together y/n and her pro-hero friends will make an attempt at surviving the fated zombie apocalypse. But what will happen when someone unexpected joins their little band of survivors? Sup, this is ANOTHER book that I am writing when I can't even finish the first one. This is an AU where zombies exist, everyone has their quirks but with a risk, and is based on, like, most of the zombie TV that I have watched. ESPECIALLY Zombieland & Zombieland 2. I definitely recommend watching those before reading this. It'll make a lot more sense. Anyways, hope yall enjoy! love y'all ❤️ -saucytoast (btw, me/my oc will be another main character in this story. sorry not sorry.)

The world didn't end all at once-it unraveled slowly. Quietly. While no one was looking. Neve, a introverted 17 year old, was always good at noticing things. The way her neighbors' pets started vanishing. The way the news anchors stumbled over their words. The way her school suddenly cared about checking students for "fevers" but never offered explanations. Still grieving her mother and lost in the silence of her own home, Neve watches as the world slips further from normal-until the night the power goes out. Until the night she sees a man, gaunt and bloodied, standing in her backyard. Watching her. After that, everything falls apart. As cities burn and the dead walk the streets, Neve is forced from the quiet life she knew into a fractured world ruled by survival, instinct, and impossible questions. Who can be trusted? What do the revenants-the "turned"-still remember? And how much of yourself can you lose before you're no longer human? Alongside Jace, a guarded 19 year old, a boy with his own shadows, Neve walks a path littered with broken people, fading memories, and echoes of a past that refuses to stay buried. Her journal becomes a guide, her sketches a record of what the world used to be-and what might still be worth saving.. She meets people. She loses them. She learns to trust, and she learns to grieve. But most importantly-she survives.

Let's go back to the time when it all started- to the start of the fall. Back when a single ambition ruined it all.

In a world destroyed by a sudden outbreak, humanity is no longer safe. Man-eating monsters roam the streets, and survival comes at a heavy cost. Jade must fight to protect the people she loves, even if it means losing herself along the way.

Two girls fighting for survival, in a destroyed world. A world where people eat each other and are beyond recognition. Can they trust each other? will they be able to make it to the end together? They WILL survive They CAN survive They SHOULD survive And they do it TOGETHER... or not... a part from the book: I kill one with my ice axe and pull my gun out to shoot another coming close. 1... 2... I pull my ice axe out of the head of the zombie I just killed and put my gun back in, to immediately reach for my knife, and directly throwing at a Z. 3... We continue killing. 4... 5... 6... I hear them all breath heavily. 7... Shit, my arm starts hurting, but I can't stop, or else I get killed. I deepen my ice axe into one zombie, and push another one away with my leg, to hit it afterwards. 8... 9... *Not edited* #3 in virus #10 in Mutation #17 in Zombies #35 in disaster #43 in disease

"You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: There are some things that you can't outrun. That becomes all the more obvious when the world is ending, when there's nothing left but the feral creatures that were once people, consumed now by a virus that's made them cannibalistic and ravenous. It might just be easier to end it all, but Claire still has one last thing to fight for. Her younger sister. And she intends to keep her safe, no matter the cost. So, with no other options and her sister in tow, Claire ventures out into the dangers of this new, unforgiving world in search of safety, security, and answers to some long burning questions. The first two things -along with some new, unexpected questions- she finds in an unlikely place: a stranger who she's become indebted to. She has a feeling he can help her answer all her questions, if she can allow herself to fully trust him. Trust, she thinks, is a fragile thing. Humanity, a construct. Love, a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.

It's been seven years since the outbreak of the zombie virus that nearly wiped out planet Earth of human existence. Millions either perished in the chaos, turned, or fought back. Trying to change the world back to the way it once was, a scientist created an antidote called the ZCure, bringing the dead back to life. Now living in a prejudice gated community with two factions, the Stiffs and the Luckies, ex zombie infected Leona, struggles to cope with that second chance as she tries to survive yet again. Only this time within herself. But things quickly turn for the worst when there's a massive threat against both sides of the district. Will she help and join forces with the other faction, or let her past consume her? #ONC2021 | Prompt 30 | ‼️Content/Trigger Warning: Contains gore, violence, some strong language. ✨Round One Qualifier in Open Novella Contest✨ ✨Round Two Qualifier in Open Novella Contest✨ All rights belong to the author and no reproductions are allowed without the permission of @Renaissance1111.
