    The world had already ended once in Raccoon City. Seven days ago, Agent Stark disappeared there. No calls. No signals. Only silence. Her father is a powerful man. Rich enough to shake governments. When the agency failed to answer him, the world heard his fury. Newspapers spoke of nothing else but the Lost Daughter. But money cannot fight the dead. So he calls the only man who has walked through hell before. Leon S. Kennedy. Thirty-seven. Cold. A man who has seen cities fall and people turn into monsters. The deal is simple. Find his daughter. In return, Leon can ask for anything. But Raccoon City is not empty anymore. Something is growing there. Something breathing under the ruins of the Umbrella Corporation. And the deeper Leon walks into the dead city, the more he realizes the truth... Aaira Stark was never just kidnapped. She was taken for something worse. Now Leon must cross a city of evolving horrors, each more terrifying than the last. Because if he doesn't reach her soon... She might become one of them.

    In the midst of a desperate battle against the powerful Ascendant Vonnegut, Commandant Kiruka of the elite Gray Raven squad is suddenly thrown through a dimensional rift and into a completely different world - the war-torn Earth of Goddess of Victory: Nikke. Stranded in a reality where humanity hides underground in the Ark while fighting the mechanical invaders known as Raptures, Kiruka must adapt quickly. With no way back to his squad or his own dying world plagued by the far more insidious Punishing Virus, he is forced to cooperate with the Ark's forces. His overwhelming combat prowess - blending a reality-cutting crimson katana, dual energy pistols, collapsible energy bow, and advanced martial arts - quickly catches the attention of Commander Renji and the Counters squad. As Kiruka proves his worth on the battlefield, he begins forming bonds with the Nikkes, especially the strict yet easily flustered tsundere Privaty. However, the secrets of his world cannot stay hidden forever. When Kiruka finally reveals the horrifying truth about the Punishing Virus - a corruption that doesn't just destroy, but replaces and turns allies into monsters - the Ark's leadership, including the enigmatic Deputy Chief Anderson, is forced to confront a threat potentially far greater than the Raptures. Now, as Kiruka trains alongside multiple Nikke squads and clashes with the dangerous Heretic Modernia, two apocalyptic wars edge closer to colliding. With his Gray Raven squad still fighting without him back home, and the shadow of Vonnegut looming across dimensions, Kiruka must decide how far he will go to protect this new world... before the Punishing Virus finds a way to follow him. A crossover story of survival, trust, and war between two broken worlds. Will Kiruka's strength be enough to change the fate of both realities?

    [Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner] The Redding takes you if it knows your name. That's the rule that's kept Meg alive --- or awake, rather --- since the night the world went to hell. Nobody knows where the red stuff came from, but it acts like water, it's in the water, and it falls as rain every night. The people it captures drop like puppets with their strings cut. They're asleep, not dead, and they can be reawoken. But then they just try to kill you. Meg and the other survivors she's befriended think they've found a stable equilibrium, six weeks after the catastrophe began. In an empty town, there's not much to do except innovate new survival methods. Meg's crush is the one to discover that Morse Code, like writing, is a safe means of communication. That's all fine and good until the nightly rain begins. Raindrops, as it turns out, can make dots and dashes, too. The Redding can talk. And it's telling her to run. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner.

    "This will be a romantic story like none ever before." 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.

    Her life was supposed to be stable. Not perfect. Not exciting. Just... stable. A job. A mortgage. A routine she barely held together with coffee and denial. But in a world where supernatural beings-known as the Legends-walk openly among humans, stability is never guaranteed for long. When Charlotte loses her job without warning, everything she worked so hard to build begins to crack. Bills don't wait. Time doesn't slow down. And the world she thought she understood is quietly shifting beneath her feet. The Legends control the best jobs, the best lives, and the kind of power humans can't compete with anymore. Everyone knows it. Everyone accepts it. Charlotte just tries to survive it. Until something starts to change. In a world ruled by fate-bound beings who recognize their mates by instinct alone, Charlotte has always believed she was safely outside that story. Too ordinary. Too human. Too overlooked. But fate has never cared about what she believes. And once the Legends start paying attention... nothing in her life will ever be simple again. Because some bonds are not chosen. They are claimed.
