    She couldn't escape. Not from him. "Let me go, Jack!" she screamed, her voice raw with desperation. "I can't stay here. Please... let me go!" His grip only tightened, and he stepped closer, pinning her against the cold, rough wood of the shack. "I told you, you're not running away again. I'm not going to let you keep running from me." The other two men-her captors-emerged from the shadows behind him, their faces as menacing as ever. The blond one with the rifle and the dark-haired one who had always watched her with a calculating gaze. They were all here. And just like that, she was trapped.

    Ara, the only woman left alive after a plague, is searching for a way to save humanity. She thinks there isn't a man she can trust, until she meets Kaden. ***** A plague has swept over the Earth, killing the majority of the population and every female. Except one. Ara witnessed the horror and destruction, but for the last three years she has survived. Now, desperation and hunger force her out of the mountains and onto a dangerous path; across the flooded downtown and through the gangs of survivors is hope. Ara's father spoke of a clue that could save not just her, but humanity. Then she is captured by a group of men. Despite the seeming kindness of Kaden, a young man her own age, Ara doesn't know if she can trust them. Then again, there's no way she can cross the plague-ridden city on her own. Men. Monsters. Is there a difference? This is the story of The Last She. (This book contains all of The Last She Series - Book 1: The Last She, Book 2: The Last City and Book 3: The Last Creation) [[word count: 250,000-300,000 words]]

    GOD IS BUT A PROGRAM. MAN IS BUT A VESSEL. They did not descend from the heavens to save us. They returned because their digital immortality began to rot. The Elohim-post-human deities of pure energy, imprisoned on the sterile orbital station S.Y.O.N.-destroyed the Earth eons ago in their pursuit of power. Now, stripped of senses and empathy, they desperately seek a return to biology. Adam and Eve are no miracle of creation. They are the product of the E.D.I.T.H. protocol-a biomechanical reconstruction cast into the radioactive dust of Mesopotamia to test if human flesh can endure the weight of divine wrath. In the shadow of rusting skyscrapers, beneath the whispers of the rebel serpent NAHASH, an error was born that no algorithm could foresee: Cain. The first son of Earth, who knows no humility and, instead of prayer, whets his blade of black glass. While Yahweh weeps golden data and Moloch glares from orbit through his blood-red visor, a new power awakens below. The rage of the firstborn, who intends to find out if gods can bleed. Step into a world where the Deluge is a system procedure, and the only hope for freedom is the shedding of divine blood.

    Yeji always thought the world would end in fire, or maybe in a flood. But when it came, the end was quiet-broken only by the groans of the dead. They rose in many forms: the stiffs, the lurkers, and the relentless swarmers that consumed entire streets. Humanity didn't fall in a single night. Piece by piece, it unraveled. And survival became more than just outrunning the dead. It became about trust. About hope. About love. And above all...about the ones who remain.

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.

    Eighteen-year-old cadet Lara Lorensky has one goal: to win the Selection, the only way people on Earth can ascend to NovaTopia, a utopia-like space shuttle orbiting the planet. Unfortunately, her longtime rival, Morgan Sánchez, also has the same goal--and their almost undefeated record in practices is Lara's biggest obstacle to victory. When an unexpected terrorist attack destroys Morgan's cyber arm, Lara's chances to win are significantly increased. But... what is the point of winning if her rival is not in their top condition? Plagued by guilt and a feeling she does not quite understand yet, Lara decides to help Morgan find a cyberlimb mechanic. As she ventures outside her sheltered bubble, Lara realizes that everything she was taught was a lie, including her identity. Perhaps the utopia she was fighting for all her life was also an illusion. Together, Lara and Morgan have a new goal: to find out the truth of Lara's identity--and the truth behind NovaTopia. {Part I COMPLETED!

    One hundred prisoners were sent to Earth to see if it was survivable. They expected radiation, starvation, and death. They didn't expect the people who were already there. Nyra of Trikru was raised to be a warrior. Trained in the ways of the woods and loyal to the Commander, she knows the Sky People are a threat the moment they fall from the sky in a burning dropship. When she is captured by the delinquents, she finds herself forced to face the enemy she has spent her life preparing to fight. Bellamy Blake came to Earth with one goal: survive and protect his sister. The last thing he expects is a silent Grounder warrior watching him with painted eyes and a blade that moves faster than thought. As tensions rise between the Sky People and the clans of the Ground, Nyra and Bellamy are pulled into a conflict much bigger than either of them. In a world where loyalty means everything and weakness means death, the line between enemy and ally begins to blur. Because on the ground, survival isn't just about fighting the enemy. Sometimes it's about understanding them. (Bellamy Blake & Nyra) Fanfic Season 1- 2 Book 1: Bellamy x OC Bellamy x Nyra

    When a shimmering rift in the Westerosi sky swallows Rhaenyra Targaryen and her dragon Syrax, they don't land in the Reach-they crash into the bone-chilling, radioactive ruins of post-apocalyptic 2030s Moscow. Found by the Ranger Artyom and the deadly sniper Anna during their desperate escape aboard the Aurora, Rhaenyra is a living anomaly. Carrying the blood of Old Valyria, she and her beast possess a terrifying gift: a total immunity to the radiation that haunts the tunnels. As the Aurora steamrolls across the Russian wilderness in search of a habitable home, Rhaenyra's presence shifts the scales of power forever. But survival isn't the only thing evolving. Amidst the cramped berths of the train and the haunting silence of frozen cities, a complex, high-stakes heat begins to simmer. Between Rhaenyra's commanding fire, Anna's fierce devotion, and Artyom's quiet resilience, a polyamorous bond forms-one forged in trauma, sealed by dragon magic, and explored through raw, scorched-earth passion. In a world where the air is poison, their connection is the only thing that breathes. Content Warning This story is intended for mature audiences and contains sexual content featuring polyamorous dynamics, including themes of dominance and submission. Readers should also be advised of graphic depictions of post-apocalyptic violence, survival horror, radiation-related trauma, and the dark, claustrophobic atmosphere consistent with a war-torn wasteland.

    Power is a Disease. Victor was never truly special. His call to arms two years ago, back in 2052, was just another fluke of fate-one that dragged him into a fight for a world already ravaged and dying, constantly destroyed and broken by the Ijo that appears every day. Now, in 2054, Victor's tour of duty is finally over. He can go home, back to the "sky." It feels surreal, so much so that he almost forgets what he is: a super-soldier, the pinnacle of the United Nations military, and one of the twelve elite members of the Oberhaupt unit. But only minutes before departure, Victor is left behind, a "prisoner" on Earth's surface. What follows is a descent into a series of disturbing and destructive events that won't just block his path home-they will force him back into the dark, claustrofobic embrace of his armor, the Kariudo. Inside, he must fight to numb his mind, to stop thinking, and to somehow... survive the suit itself.

    When it came down to the last jar of peanut butter, rule of law suddenly became a luxury no one could afford. Before society collapsed, Killian believed in rules, structure, and order. Then the world changed overnight-humans woke with powers that shattered the old systems almost immediately. Killian wakes up in this new world as a guide: a highly prized role in a society that can't agree on what rules still matter. With no talent or desire for the position, he survives the same way he always has-by keeping his head down, minding his business, and avoiding problems before they notice him. That strategy fails spectacularly when a soft-hearted esper decides Killian is his person-bright-eyed, stubborn, and far more capable than he looks. It gets worse when Killian is dragged into an impossible situation with an eerily composed lightning esper whose control issues are matched only by his fixation. Now caught between one man who looks at him like home and another who treats him like a claim already made, Killian finds himself bound by instincts, power, and attraction he never agreed to. As cities fall, dungeons rise, and new hierarchies take shape, Killian must learn the difference between written law and natural law- and decide what survives when the old rules no longer apply.

    The world is dead, and we killed it. End of Ends, a powerful living power source that promised mystical abilities, infinite energy, and a way to save us all from Entropy itself ... immediately had any way of accessing it sold off to the highest bidders. Stars have gone extinct. The past and future were twisted until they broke. Thermo-arcanal war ravaged the planet. The rulers of the world were slain by the artificial God they hoped would help them regain control of the situation. That same artificial God finished off what remained of life itself. And everyone who predicted it'd probably be an unhappy ending was proven right. The end. Or so it seemed. Instead, the post-apocalyptic world of Avarei limps along. People try to survive, in a wasteland now filled with skyscraper ruins, toxic oceans, and monsters galore, where everything is trying to kill you, where Elves, Orcs, Duergars, and even a few Aliens walk among us, and where people can control Fire and Water and Earth and Wind with their minds. They try to survive as the Nihiline, that eldritch abyss created by the universe's Heat Death, that in a few years will consume what remains of reality, stares into people's souls and makes them go insane; so don't look up for too long. And they try to survive when people like Yaouei cause trouble for everyone. The world is ending, so in her mind there are no rules, and even though technically she's been hired by the local Questants Guild as an adventurer, she's more inclined to do things her way even if people complain. It's not like it's gonna matter in the end, after all. Time's up. We blew it up. Nothing matters. Or does it? Maybe there's more to Yaouei than she wants to admit. There have been strange occurrences and rumors ever since she drifted into Allewood Village. Maybe jhe can be the key to saving this world after all ... or finally putting it all out of its misery ... Either way, no one's getting out of here with a happy ending this time either, probably ...
