    ASCENDANTS OF THE FALLEN EARTH " When fire fell, silver whispered." The night the sky bled silver, a comet tore Earth open, unleashing Celestia-a raw, living power that reshaped the world. Now, in a fractured age of overgrown ruins and mutated beasts, humanity clings to existence in underground havens, where some are born with its volatile light in their veins. Eris, touched by the silver, battles the untamed power that threatens to consume him. Kaylah remains his fiercely loyal anchor, her presence a shield against the monstrous transformation he fears. But their fragile peace is crumbling. Mutants and "Awakened" clans seek to control the world. "WHEN THE SKY BLED SILVER" was the first title of this novel. 2025 Myobee aka Ayeshi Mio.

    What if the last thing worth saving isn't the world, but the memory of how it felt to live in it? Vex was built to observe. Not to love, not to grieve, not to bleed. For a thousand years, he watched as worlds turned to ash and stars sang their silent requiems. But when Earth falls and the embers of resistance gather beneath the bones of ruined cities, Vex discovers what no machine or god was ever meant to know: the unbearable weight-and fragile wonder-of being human. But to save the last of them, Vex must become the bridge he was never designed to be, wielding both the precision of the Observer and the wild courage of the soul he never asked for. Only by embracing both sides-Zorthian and Human, weapon and wonder-can he stand between oblivion and remembrance. A time-warping epic. A fever-dream elegy. How To Human: Before We Fall Again is a collision of found family, cosmic prophecy, AI hauntings, and the oldest longing in the cosmos-to remember, to grieve, to love, and to become more than the sum of your scars. The world may end. The timelines may fracture. But as long as one soul remembers what it means to be-there's a reason to fight.

For four years she convinced herself that Santiago Vargas was dead. But the world burned. The dead rose. And now he stands at the door of her refuge with a gun in his hand - demanding that she return what she took from him. Santiago Vargas isn't looking for forgiveness. He's looking for the truth. And the only person who can give it to him is the girl with the scar on her face and fire running through her veins. The girl he once swore to forget. But the past never stays buried. The secrets of Camp Kairon are more dangerous than the walking dead. And to the people already hunting her, Candela isn't just a survivor. She is the Spark. The key to a power that could change everything. And when the truth finally comes out, their world will burn again. Post-apocalypse. Enemies. A love that refuses to die.

    Love doesn't disappear... even at the end of the world. Deep beneath an ancient iceberg, during a classified excavation, something impossible is discovered - something unlike anything known to humanity. Not dead... Not alive... At first, nothing happens.

Until one day-he finally sees it. And that's when everything begins to fall apart. In the chaos, he loses everything - his parents, his home, his safety. But not his sister. Through fear, exhaustion, and a collapsing world... he makes only one promise: Even if the world turns him into a monster... he will protect her till the end.

    Ten years ago, in Year xx20, a meteor blazed across the skies of Tarnia. Seen across the world, it was hailed as a blessing from the gods. It was not. When it struck the earth, purple smoke poured from the crater, crystallizing everything it touched. At first, people believed it harmless-until the first witness wandered too close. They convulsed, screamed, and transformed into a crystal-covered creature. It attacked nearby civilians, turning them into monsters as well. Panic spread faster than escape. These creatures were stronger and faster than any human. Within a week, major cities across Sartea fell. The military fought back, but bullets and explosives were useless against crystal armor. The monsters were named Therror-fallen humans swallowed by crystal, driven only by destruction. In less than a month, Sartea, Narfla, and Estrail were overrun. Survivors vanished into hiding. Four years later, Therror sightings declined as humans became scarce. Small camps began to form in isolated places. Then the meteors returned. This time, instead of ruin, they brought weapons-artifacts that radiated warmth and hope. One brave survivor tested such a weapon against a Therror and split it in half with a single strike. The world changed again. These artifacts became known as Divine Equipment: powerful tools capable of slaying Therror, and dangerous in the wrong hands. More meteors fall every few months, scattering new weapons across the land. Now, ten years after the outbreak, we can destroy the Therror-but we still cannot cure them. Can the infected ever be restored? With countless forms of Divine Equipment and an uncertain future ahead... only time will tell.

    Dr. June Nakamura had been called many things in her career-prodigy, visionary, lunatic-but above all else, she was brilliant. The number of doctorates she possessed was creeping toward triple digits, each one a trophy of obsession. She was, by every measurable standard, the most intelligent woman alive. That was why she had been given the Project. The concept was elegant in its simplicity: a gas that could render entire battalions unconscious without a drop of blood spilled. An EMP for the human body. Not a weapon of death, but of pause. In theory, the device could end war-or at least press the world's endless conflicts into silence long enough for peace to take root. June believed in it. Believed in herself. And for the first time in her life, she was wrong. The test chamber was packed with dignitaries, generals, scientists, and investors-hundreds of witnesses hungry for proof. They watched as the first human subject was lowered into the sealed room, the faint green vapor hissing into existence. The subject did not grow drowsy. He did not collapse into gentle hibernation. Instead, his skin warped, his bones reshaped, fur erupting in violent cascades. His eyes went wild, not with terror, but with a terrifying emptiness. When it was over, there was no man in the chamber. Only a humanoid beast, animal-featured and utterly confused. His gaze wandered the walls as if he had never seen them before. When asked his name through the intercom, he only tilted his head, ears twitching. He had forgotten. He had forgotten everything. Not a sedative, then. Not a miracle. A metamorphosis. June's heart turned to ice as murmurs spread through the auditorium. Some recoiled in horror. Others, strangely, leaned forward with fascination. What they saw was not the death of a project, but the birth of something unforeseen. June had not ended war. She had ended humanity. And before anyone could stop it, the new world had begun.

    So Earth. Um it's kinda gone to shit. What I mean is that technology developed and evolved. But per usual human experiments and science in general caused by hubris made the entire world sort of devolve to a post-apocalyptic state. But lucky for the world it wasn't completely destroyed and radiation from the Earth's devolution gave 5 individuals not only super-human powers and abilities but made them immortal. But hey I'll leave the story to tell you the rest.

    "Beside me, I hear Mitchel pull a lighter out of his pocket and light up one of his cigarettes. We sit quietly for a few more minutes; him taking hits while I continue to gaze up at the sky. We lay in the grass parallel to each other. I don't want to speak first, I don't want to ruin this moment. When he breaks the silence, he doesn't look at me. He just keeps his eyes closed, like he's floating on air and his head is in the clouds with no plans to come down. "What do you want to do before you die?" "

    The bombs came first, obliterating more than half the global population and reducing any remnants of society to ashes. No one knows which nation unleashed the first strike, but within a year, the entire world was embroiled in a battle for survival. Nowhere remained safe; the rains brought fire, and the land was poisoned by the diseases left in the bombs' wake. It wasn't long before the world succumbed, its once-vibrant ecosystems and populations dwindling into oblivion. Almost everything and everyone was gone. Almost. Having somehow survived the end of the world, sixteen-year-old Astra still wanders the empty desert of the planet on her own, surviving the harsh conditions and hunger placating life. For her, life is simple. Find non-infected food. Find somewhere to sleep the night. Find ammunition for her pistol. Don't die. She's not living, she's surviving, she knows it but what other choice does she have? Until one day, Astra stumbles upon the first living human she's seen in over two years. Ravi is frail and alone like Astra herself, but unlike Astra, Ravi has a purpose, to find where it all began and stop the operation. Embarking on a risky adventure with her new companion, Astra discovers that what took place on her planet might not have been as accidental as she once thought. Alongside Ravi, Astra slowly uncovers the secrets of their society's downfall, all the while struggling with an overwhelming grief from her past. Will the two of them find the cure? The immunity? Can their society be rebuilt? Reconstructed? Or is everything they ever knew simply too far gone?

Neighbors, friends, and families have turned against each other, law enforcement has crumbled, and cities are now in the hands of power thirsty survivors. It has been one year since The Downfall, and though the chaos has long since died down, new threats are starting to make themselves known, bringing a whole new level of difficulty to surviving in the post apocalyptic setting that was once America. 17 year old "Max" is left to her own devices as her parents have long since passed and she is now on the hunt for who may be the last surviving member of her immediate family. Already thinking she has gotten past the worst of it, she has yet to realize that the true threat is yet to come. Follow Max as she learns the true meaning of survival, faces harrowing decisions, and has the opportunity to fix something that was once thought to be irreparable. _____Authors Note_____ Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I honestly don't know where I plan on going with this as It's mainly just being used to get my mind off of the stress of school and home life. The story is inspired by The Walking Dead and Tom Clancy's The Division. I'm completely winging the plot as I never plan things ahead properly. The story may be altered where I see fit and I apologize ahead of time for any errors in my writing. I'm seriously just writing and developing the story as I go.
