    Dante's job is to subdue contractors and recover illegal relics. He is the only contractor capable of bonding with five relics. As the youngest member of the famed legends, Dante was believed to have a perfect life. However, everything changed in an instant, shattering his ideal existence. For the first time, he found himself powerless. Once hailed as both a hero and a prodigy, Dante had been reduced to nothing more than a ruthless hunter. Although his team's efficiency and recovery rate are outstanding, their brutal methods often overshadow their achievements. Dante is no longer seen as the prodigy of the legends. His comrades view him as a loyal guard dog, while his enemies see him as a ruthless bloodhound. The Apex Institute is where teenagers train to become future leaders. Thalia and her friends are graduating this year. Thalia possesses a unique bloodline trait that allows her to command the weather; she can invoke storms simply by concentrating. She wants nothing more than to use her powers to help the relic retrieval task force. Apex has created special task forces, such as the Legends, to prevent relics from being used to cause harm. Thalia has always admired the Legends, and their dedication to justice is the primary reason she enrolled in the institute. The Legends are known as the champions of justice because they maintain order within the safety zone. Thalia desperately wants to change this twisted world and dreams of being a hero like her aunt (Tia) to save their crumbling world. ------------------------------------------------------------------ What to expect?

    What if I make a seemingly random story about a rapture who is actually a reader insert surviving on the wild, meeting other raptures, Nikke, and humans. Then messing with plot in more ways than one? It's a crazy idea, so I'm gonna write it. Oh, and this story contains various experimental concepts that are plotlines for this fanfiction, and is Action Packed on later chapters.

    [BOOK 2 - SEQUEL TO WITHERING WORLD] It only takes an earthquake and a breathtaking discovery of enhanced human abilities for Jesse's life to change. WITHER was conquered three years ago, bringing brighter days to Beacontown and its allies. The blue mycelium antidote is now the people's weapon, keeping the disease in its grave. And as a plus, the New Order's friendship has never been closer. But when a war is lost, not everyone wants to accept defeat, especially not the disease that'd almost doomed humanity. A wicked mutation is underway, too remorseless to spare even the ones who have the greatest chance of survival. This new, blood-curdling variant is wiser, stronger and has stolen the very tactic that Jesse uses to bring home the victory every time - teamwork. Now forcing the infected to their side, WITHER taunts at the antidote that no longer cures. What hope is left for the world? ~~~~ -PERSPECTIVES- [JESSE - 1ST PERSON] [LUKAS - 1ST PERSON] [PETRA - 1ST PERSON] ****

    Elteross Vass lives hidden in the woods, far from cities and history. His life is reduced to routines: gathering wood, maintaining the machines that keep his daughter alive, and staying unseen. Years ago, an experiment tore a rift open above Totenheim. His wife, a scientist involved in the project, died when the sky broke. Elteross survived, and ran. Now the past finds him. A New Order officer appears in his home with the truth Elteross feared: the rift was never sealed. The world beyond it, Naesia, still presses against reality, and his daughter is no accident of survival. Forced back toward Totenheim, Elteross must face what his wife died trying to stop-and what his daughter may become. Some doors do not open with force. They open when everything goes quiet. And then it goes dark.

In a world that has been tainted and destroyed by a corrosive force known as the Corruption, only her village has been able to endure unscathed. So what happens when Asha comes across Felix, a man who claims to come from a different community on the other side of the ocean?

Eîra has lived alone in the ruins for over a thousand years, carrying something precious that no one else knows exists. When Sâel arrives to document the decay, their encounter is brief. Something happens. Something neither of them understands. One of them will forget. One of them will remember. And neither will ever be the same. A story about what we carry, what we lose, and the spaces between memory and truth. When you can lose everything, what becomes worth keeping?

    In a world where the light burns and the dark still remembers. Generations after the Great Scorching, humanity split in two: those who embraced the Bio-Order's rebirth in light, and those who refused - the Burrowers, exiled to live beneath the ground, branded as impure. Liora, a sharp-tongued survivor from the Burrows, has never seen the sun - only dreamed of it. But when her younger brother Ralf vanishes to the surface chasing that dream, she's thrust into a world far brighter - and far cruel - than the stories ever told. Now hunted by the Bio-Order's Radiant Guards and shadowed by a soldier named Nathan, Liora must navigate the fractured lands between light and darkness, truth and propaganda, trust and betrayal. To save her brother, she will have to do what no Burrower has dared: walk under the bleeding sun and survive.

    "Never trust a survivor until you learn what they did to survive." Thinking about trying to describe the whole story in just one sentence gives me an aneurysm, but here's what you can expect: psychological tests, found family, feminine rage, accurate mental health depiction, alternate realities, confusing twists and turns, odd goings-on, diverse characters, mystery, survival instinct, etc. All my writing is completely clean while still being intense, heavy, and plot- and character-focused. This story is my 5-year-long, work-in-progress, pride and joy. So, while I am here seeking as much constructive criticism as I can get, please handle with tact :)
