It was finally time for the earth to rid itself of the most toxic parasites to ever plague its soil: humans. Mara knew that whatever dawned upon the earth on that dreadful September day wouldn't stop until everyone dropped dead- And, of course, reanimated. 'Cause apparently that's a thing now. -- A BTS apocalypse au by: © wethenaive TW: Death, violence, and tragedy

Have you ever wondered the origins of the wise, powerful, and occasionally lighthearted cosmic couple? The guardians of the universe. The adoptive parents of the Lumas. Here's their origins story. A story of friendship, family, happiness, expectations, and class divides. Which eventually spirals into crisis and dependence. Loss, pain, and depression. Even the threat of human extinction. But we all know how the story ultimately ends. Everyone's familiar with Mario, Luigi, and Peach. The Mushroom Kingdom lives on today, bustling with Toads. Though, there aren't many humans... I wonder why? (Rosalina, The Mushroom Kingdom, and all other Mario references are owned by Nintendo. I have no rights or ownership of any characters, locations, and power-ups except for my own.)

Description When the outbreak first began, the world believed it could be contained. Hospitals called it a strange infection. Governments called it a temporary emergency. News anchors promised it would pass. They were wrong. This journal was written by one of the last survivors documenting the slow collapse of civilization, from the first strange reports of attacks... to the night the cities finally went silent. If anyone finds this, remember what happened here. And whatever you do... Do not let them inside.

Four weeks after the world collapsed, silence became louder than gunfire. Ryder Thompson believed surviving alone was enough. Hide. Move. Do not trust anyone. Do not get attached. But when he discovers that the undead are evolving, when slow walkers turn into something faster and more violent, survival becomes far more complicated. The city is no longer just infected. It is changing. The dead are adapting. Supplies are running thin. Rumors of organized survivor groups begin to spread through the ruined streets of Diliman, and Ryder must decide whether to remain alone or risk trusting strangers. Among those strangers are people with their own secrets, their own trauma, and their own reasons to live. In a world where both the living and the dead can betray you, every choice carries weight. As the infected evolve, humanity is forced to evolve with them. This is not just a story about surviving the end of the world. It is about who rises when everything falls.

It started with a discovery. Inside the secret GrimHaven Facility, a scientist created a fungal virus known as FGS-a mutation meant to heal the human body. Instead, it destroyed humanity. Within hours, the laboratory collapsed into chaos. Scientists died. Soldiers failed to contain it. And the infection spread beyond the facility... reaching the nearby city of BlackBerg. Now the streets are filled with monsters. Peter S. Estevan, a young soldier with only two years of experience, is one of the few survivors left. Haunted by the death of his comrades and his father, Peter believes he failed everyone. But survival means moving forward. While searching the ruined city for food and survivors, Peter encounters Natalie C. Harper, a mysterious girl with a pistol, a past she refuses to talk about, and trust issues that keep her constantly on edge. Together, they must survive a city crawling with infected creatures, uncover the truth behind the FGS Virus, and face the dark secrets hidden inside GrimHaven. Because the zombies... are only the beginning. And something far worse is evolving. In a world where humanity has fallen, survival is the only rule.

When the dead rose, Australia didn't fall - it woke ************************************************* When the dead first walked, everyone thought the world was ending. They were wrong. Angel knows the land is changing. Zombies aren't just roaming anymore - they're hunting, adapting, and responding to something buried deep beneath Australia's red soil. Something ancient. Something that was never meant to wake. As survivors turn on each other and the dead grow smarter, Angel discovers the terrifying truth: the apocalypse isn't chaos - it's a system. A system designed to keep something far worse locked away. Now that system is breaking. Marked by a power tied to the land itself and hunted by people who want to control it, Angel is dragged into a brutal fight where survival means more than killing the dead. Every choice she makes pushes the world closer to balance... or total collapse. Because in Australia, the dead are only the warning. And if the land finishes waking up, no one gets a second chance. ************************************************* Book 1 in the Dead Country Series

One Quiet Step is a survival drama set during the collapse of society after a fast-moving infection turns people into aggressive, sound-sensitive runners. The story follows a small group of young survivors trying to escape danger and travel south in search of safety and their families. Along the way, they face constant threats-not only from the infected, but from injuries, limited supplies, harsh weather, and the growing tension between trust and survival. Each episode explores the cost of staying alive. Gunshots risk drawing attention. Rain both protects and exposes them. Every decision matters. Every sound can mean death. As they move from abandoned campuses to flooded highways and toward military-controlled zones, they uncover clues left behind by other survivors-journals, symbols, hidden tunnels-suggesting that something larger is happening beyond what they can see. At its core, the series is not just about escaping runners. It is about loyalty, leadership, guilt, sacrifice, and the question that follows every survivor: How far would you go to protect the people you love? The journey south is only the beginning. PS: this is my 1st time writing stories, And the characters are based on my friends as well as locations here in negros. I'm open to suggestions if you like the story hehe

For every moment I was smiling, or laughing, or talking, I now know that I had taken it for granted. Because those moments don't come when you are alone. I thought I had nothing until I lost more than that. Because I might have felt lonely before, but now I am less than that. Now I am alone. The once broken world is less than it was before. The society which I had wished didn't exist is gone. Everything is gone, just like everyone's humanity. The things from movies became reality, except for the happy endings. The silence which I once craved has grown over like mold in a dark, damp basement. I used to think the noise was deafening until the silence became just that. Because now I was alone. But I wait. I fight. I fight for a tomorrow as insignificant as I may still be because if there is one, it has to be better than today. I fight because if I didn't I'd grow impatient. Impatient of being alone. Alone until. ----------•----------• Highest ranks #265 Horror #241 Outbreak I made the cover with the Wattpad Covers app, the app is great and easy to use! (CONTAINS GORE AND SADNESS AND KILLING AND DEATH SO IF YOU ARE SQUEAMISH OR DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF DEATH THEN SUGGESTIVELY DON'T READ OR READ WITH CAUTION BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO SCAR SOMEONE.

A family is self-isolating at home during a deadly virus outbreak. While strictly adhering to pandemic protocols and staying safe at home, they encounter a strange incident of unknown cause. A battle of ideas follow, as to what might be the probable cause, until they discover the chilling truth behind it.

The world didn't end in fire. It ended in silence - a slow, engineered unraveling buried inside the Seed Cycle. Echo doesn't remember the outbreak. He remembers the hour they left him alone. One hour of peace. One hour without surveillance, testing, or control. Now the sky burns. Ash falls like snow. And the virus doesn't kill - it rewrites. Echo carries scars no lab can erase and instincts no system can predict. He's not the hero. He's the anomaly. The one they missed. The one who sees the pattern before it hits. As the Seed Cycle resets and survivors vanish into sterilized zones, Echo must decide: Expose the truth and risk becoming the next experiment - or disappear into the ash and rewrite the protocol from the inside. Because the game is afoot. And Echo never plays by their rules.

A companion novella to The Shadow Wars and a direct sequel to Dead Ice. When the infection hit Frost Station in the form of a dozen corpses from a wrecked ship, Laura and her crew of isolated misfits didn't know quite how to deal with it. As a result, only she and two others barely escaped the bloody, frozen horror. Certain that they were flying off into the sunrise towards help and hope, they set off in a stolen medical jump ship. But now the terrifying reality of their situation is setting in. It's been twelve hours in the air and they're no closer to safety. They can't raise anyone on the radio and everywhere they fly over is either burning, dead, or overrun with walking corpses. They're running out of power and are soon forced to crash-land in a network of valleys... Mike Ellis is an engineer working at Peaceful Trails, a network of valleys that serves as a serene nature reserve, a place to get away from the world and relax. All that comes crashing to a bloody halt as he wakes up in an infirmary. He knows he's suffered an accident of some kind, but he can't remember what happened. What's worse, he is forced to call on old skills he learned as a soldier to defend himself when something, what appears to be an actual, real zombie, attacks him. The valleys are no longer safe and the only people he can find are a trio that claim they've come from the northern polar regions of Dis. They must work together to fight for survival and somehow find a way off of this hellish planet...

Rick pulled the trigger, Shane hadn't a second to react, he dropped to his knees quickly. Fortunately, the bullet hit his shin. Shane gripped his leg tightly and cried out. "You son of a-" Rick pressed the barrel of his gun to his forehead. "Shut up." Shane looked up at his once best friend, unaware of the walkers quickly approaching from the woods behind them. "This is what is going to happen. You are going to take your car and leave. If I see you ever again, I'll put you out myself." Rick warned. Shane scrambled to his feet, despite the wound he wasn't about to beg Rick for forgiveness, he made his choice. Shane left the Greene farm as quickly as he could, leaving the rest to the herd of walkers that had begun to take over the farm. "Adios." He stuck his middle finger up, driving fast down the dirt road."We will meet again, old friend." Kate Rosewood huddled in a corner of the abandoned BP gas station. She was all alone, Kate had always been frightened of the end of the world but never imagined it would happen in her lifetime. The walkers were everywhere outside, she had maybe two bullets left in her gun, a hunter knife that desperately needed to be sharpened lay at her side. "Oh god." She whispered over and over again, hoping for someone to come rescue her. How she survived this long was a mystery. The doors of the gas station flung open, Rose screamed thinking her time was up, what she didn't expect was a gun going off, someone picking her up and running to a car outside.
