The world didn't end - it changed. After a virus, an invasion, and the collapse of order, survival became the only truth. Power exists, but it comes with pain. Trust exists, but it never lasts. In the ruins of a near-future Earth, one survivor moves quietly through chaos - calm, sharp-tongued, and dangerous in ways even he doesn't fully understand. This is a story about what rises after everything burns.

"Stop right there." Confused, I turned around. "What? I thought we're rushing?" "We are, but apparently you need me to explain the rules to you again." I crossed my arms in front of my chest. "You want me to be quiet and look pretty. It's not that hard to understand," I sighed. "I'm not going to embarrass you, don't worry." He didn't seem convinced. "I'm serious. Behave." Behave? I arched an eyebrow at him. "I don't know if you've forgotten, but I am not your submissive." Something flickered in his eyes. "Believe me, if you were my submissive, you'd be over my knee right now for your tone and that eye roll a minute ago."

So when Clarke is thrown into the Ark's lockup after their father's death, (Y/n) isn't sure if this nightmare is the beginning of the end... or just the beginning.

A death sentence wrapped in false hope. If Clarke's fate lies there, (Y/n) knows she can't stay behind. But Earth is no salvation. It's a savage world where the ground itself seems to turn against you, where shadows lurk in every forest, and survival demands impossible choices. Friends become enemies. Allies become threats. And every step forward might be the last. Back on the Ark, power games and cold betrayals shattered trust. Down on Earth, the lines between right and wrong bleed together, and no one is who they seem. (Y/n) finds friendship within the 100 kids. Although Bellamy Blake - a leader forged in fire - is both a rival and a puzzle she can't crack. His loyalty is fierce but unpredictable, and his demons run just as deep as hers. In a world where trust is scarce and every moment could shatter everything, can (Y/n) balance war, loyalty, and a heart she never expected to surrender again? Life changes in an instant. And within this game, one wrong move means losing everything. ~~~~~~~~ Completed: December 2024 The 100, Seasons 1-5 (imo it went on for a bit long and then I didn't even get around to watching the last season BUT LIVE LAUGH LOVE THIS MUCH OF IT) All the characters are from the show aside from the ones that are obviously not in the show (i also recommend the incredible books but they're quite different!)

"This will be a romantic story like none ever before." Act 1: Y/N wasn't all that special. Of course, compared to the other MOTH's he was definitely very noteworthy, but compared to the Flamechasers? He was a nobody. Despite that, he did have plenty going for him. He wasn't ready for the shift in the world, the Honkai invasion threw a wrench in his daily life, but alongside friends, family, foes, and everything in between, he will always have a reason to live, and with a best friend who's equally eccentric as she is tough, two subordinates who are equal parts brash and happy to be along for the ride, and a boss that knows more than he should, join him as he tackles his life. Act 2: Y/N wasn't all that special. He lived his life as a simulation, and followed all the rules his real world counterpart had put into play. He had the best girl ever by his side, and along with it, all her crazy coworkers. Despite living in paradise, he still couldn't shake his fears, for every sweet dream harbors a sick nightmare.

The seasoned player of "Abyss of Stars," the [Starfall Master] Li Zi, brings a system template and travels to the game's world, arriving in the era of the game's beta version. This is the worst of times. The cosmic forces and conglomerates collude, causing the doors to the universe to be closed, the planet's resources to be exhausted, and even sunlight to be monopolized. This is also the best of times. All the extraordinary systems are just beginning. In this era, he is the only [Starfall Master] with the final version patch. While people are enthralled by the smoke of plasma guns and cannons, Li Zi has already torn apart battleships with gravity. While superhumans are smug about their awakened abilities, moonlight has already become Li Zi's servant. While the interstellar fleet crosses the Milky Way, Li Zi has just ignited the forty-second star, illuminating the entire universe. "People have been trapped on the ground for too long; they've forgotten that this starry sky should belong to all of us." -Facing the unspeakable aboriginal evil gods, Li Zi, holding a black hole, gently said.

Blood for blood, bite for bite. Who gets to walk away? _____ Harper Moon is a bottom-of-the-barrel vampire and one of the most notorious vandals of the modern west coast. In theory, it could admit him into the most coveted private artistry academy the vampiric species has ever mustered up. But in practice, it could be what serves him on a plate instead. Every other year for their twentieth birthdays, those at the bottom are rounded up and assigned a mentor from the ones at the top, and trained for one year to compete in the largest biennial artistic competition for all vampires to watch. Those that are chosen are debuted as the next generation of artistic machinery for the elite. Those that are not, could be food. In a last-ditch attempt to break out of his lot in life and see himself free, Harper joins the ranks in hopes of working his way out. But talent is not the only thing the games necessitate, and art is not so black and white under a scrutinizing eye. When the competition begins to melt into more than just a game of the talents, but of his very mind, Harper will come to find the world of the arts is a brutal battlefield, that passion harbors a gruesome side, and the intricate politics of what it really means to be free may not be a game he can play alone. It's glamour, greed, gore, and greatness. And nowhere is too far to go just to have a taste. [ONGOING] [#1 in VAMPIREACADEMY] [#2 in GAMES] [#2 in ARTBOOK]
