When the UNSC Frigate In Amber Clad crash-lands in the Emerald Forest, the world of Remnant is thrust into a war it was never meant to fight. The Master Chief and Cortana bring with them a horror older than the Grimm: the Flood. As the parasite consumes the soulless monsters of Remnant to create a terrifying new Hive-mind, the traditional ways of the Huntsmen fall short. To save the planet from total biological assimilation, the Spartan must lead Team RWBY on a desperate mission to activate a lost Forerunner fail-safe. But the price of victory is steep-the "Great Reset" will purge the infection, but it will also strip the world of its Dust and magic forever. Stranded in a world that has gone silent, the UNSC must now become the iron foundation upon which a new, powerless humanity learns to survive.

When the UNSC Spirit of Fire drifts through a localized Slipspace rupture, Captain James Cutter and the legendary Spartans of Red Team expect to wake up in a galaxy at war with the Covenant. Instead, they find themselves orbiting a silent, scarred Earth-two centuries after a nuclear apocalypse. In this epic crossover, the high-tech precision of the 26th-century UNSC collides with the brutal, lawless reality of the Fallout universe. From the irradiated ruins of the Capital Wasteland to the neon-soaked sands of the Mojave, Jerome-092 and his team must navigate shifting alliances with the Brotherhood of Steel, the NCR, and the mysterious Institute. But as the "Star-Fallen Angels" begin to heal the planet with terraforming technology, they awaken a threat far greater than Raiders or Super Mutants: an ancient, automated defense system and a ghost from their own future. Can a ship from the stars save a world that has already ended? Or will the Spirit of Fire become just another relic in the graveyard of history?

Empire of Stars is a sweeping space-opera epic that follows former soldier and disgraced movie star John Drayton after humanity's first contact with an ancient alien gateway-the Meridian Gate-catapults Earth into a brutal interstellar war. Elevated to the role of Arbiter, John commands the warship Hemingway as he navigates galaxy-spanning politics, devastating battles, and the terrifying emergence of the Hyperions: godlike beings who manipulate entire species as weapons. As worlds fall, secrets surface, and the line between heroism and exploitation blurs, John must reconcile his past, his hunger for meaning, and the crushing cost of leadership while racing to stop a calculated extinction that has been centuries in the making.

Earth has fallen. When the planet crosses its final climate tipping point, temperatures rise, crops fail, and billions are forced onto the move. Diplomacy gives way to ultimatums, then to war. From unassuming laboratories to streets drowning in heat and hunger, a fractured world stumbles toward its final reckoning. As famine and conflict spread, international order dissolves into violence and blame, and armies march north through ruins chasing a future that no longer exists. Yet amid the despair, a radical plan takes shape to move a fragment of humanity to the red sands of Mars. As Earth burns and the heavens fill with refugees, one truth becomes unavoidable: the future belongs only to those willing to sacrifice everything. In the chaos of the apocalypse, a new kind of security service is needed to enforce order where nations have failed. From the ashes of Old Earth, the Sunguard rises. Scorched Earth is a sweeping hard-science epic about collapse, survival, and the cost of choosing a future when the present is already lost.

| WATTPAD EDITOR'S CHOICE | Major Aula Reed is a Canadian fighter pilot, veteran astronaut, and closeted bisexual. She's stationed on the second International Lunar Base or ILUB-2 with seven other crewmates. To be separated from Earth means facing radiation, meteorites, and equipment failure while under constant public scrutiny. For Aula, it also means struggling with memories of ILUB-1: the worst disaster in space exploration since the shuttle era. While she tries not to let her first mission overshadow her second, the Moon is an unforgiving place. It only takes one mistake, no matter how small, for history to repeat itself. This is a story of the near future informed by the lives of today's astronauts, whose triumphs and tragedies are immortalized in the public eye.

In the near future, humanity discovers that time is not a continuous, smooth flow, but is organized into infinitesimally small, discrete units called Chronons-the actual, measurable "pixels" of existence. A global, secretive agency, the Bureau of Chronometric Stability (BCS), is established to monitor and, more critically, ration these Chronons. The problem: Due to accelerating ecological and cosmic pressures, the total Chronon count available to Earth is shrinking. To prevent the collapse of reality itself, the BCS institutes Temporal Triage: the poor and chronically ill are systematically assigned fewer Chronons, causing them to experience life at a subtly slower speed (i.e., days feel longer, healing takes more subjective time), while the elite have their Chronon allotment boosted, granting them effectively more life.

At its heart, Mina's Star is a near-future science fiction epic about the consequences of nuclear appeasement and the collapse of global deterrence. The story begins with a single spark that grows into a storm, a world where secrets hidden in the sky ignite rivalries on the ground. From quiet observatories to glittering galas, from the shadows of interrogation rooms to the roar of drone swarms, every moment builds toward a reckoning no nation can escape. The question is not only who holds power, but what price is paid to preserve it. Set in a future scarred by betrayal and shifting alliances, Mina's Star explores the fall of the old nuclear order and the rise of the Charter, a borderless movement redefining what sovereignty means. Across continents and oceans, spies, soldiers, scientists, and visionaries are drawn into a struggle between collapsing empires and emerging ideals. As intelligence wars erupt in Europe and corporate powers reshape humanity's destiny, hidden technologies threaten to upend the balance of deterrence itself. This near-future political thriller blends hard science and human drama, weaving together themes of peace, power, and moral rebirth. Each character carries secrets, loyalties, and choices that will determine whether humanity falls into ruin or builds a foundation strong enough to reach the stars.

A battle rages above Greivstor, ships in constant combat. One pilot crashes to the planet's surface, and ends up joining the ground crew. He soon makes a discovery, one which changes his views of why the ruins of an ancient civilisation are the target of Celestria's newest military direction. CELESTRIA PHASE: 1

In the world of waves, nothing is lost. Everything merely changes frequency. Maciej, a medical physics engineer at the Gliwice Institute of Oncology, has spent his entire life believing in parameters. When he is laid off and his sterile laboratory is replaced by a stifling tenement on Zwycięstwa Street, he loses the only filter that separated him from chaos. Waiting for him at home is Adaś-an eight-year-old son diagnosed with autism who does not speak, does not make eye contact, and seems trapped in an endless cycle of drawing black circles. In an act of desperation, Maciej begins to examine his son's drawings using professional equipment. What he discovers shatters the foundations of his knowledge: Adaś is not ill. He is tuned in. The boy hears the hum of the universe's heart and records data that link the structure of the human brain with the movement of galaxies. As Maciej's marriage to Marzena crumbles under the weight of unspoken resentments, the engineer reaches a point that Adaś calls Frequency Zero. It is the moment when time stops moving forward and begins to curl into a loop. Will Maciej be able to accept the truth that his entire life was just one of many iterations of the same wave? And what will happen when that wave finally returns to the shore?

Earth is a world of injustice, everybody knows that. Evil goes unpunished, good goes unrewarded, but there is an end to the torment. The moment is rare, but points of beauty do exist, and are to be treasured and cherished. The Earth is clothed in a putrescent cloud as a consequence to mankind's actions, and firestorms tear with the force of a nuclear bomb. Humanity lives in domes: bubbles blown in bedrock, and conditions are dismal. On other planets, the grass is far from greener. Society is coming back from a period of friction, kept under the thumbs of tyrannic regimes. Mars and Earth are kept under the thumb of tyrannic regimes.

As the "optimization" spreads, splitting the colony between those embracing their new power and those fighting to stay human, Eliana must decide: resist the evolution or become part of it. A chilling sci-fi thriller where humanity's past could destroy its future-or redefine it forever. Will you survive the optimization?
