Post-apocolypse Stories

Losing someone they care about, a troubled wanderer must journey across a wasted world with their new found companion. Finding happiness, meaning, and maybe a little something more with his new friend, Yulin has an unsure but worth while adventure ahead. There are themes like violence, intense and sad scenes, death, and maybe some more romantic related 'intense' scenes as well (mild NSFW). This is a trigger warning. These themes are meant to enhance the plot, but if you're uncomfortable, feel free to skip ahead or even not read this if it's not for you. In any case, I hope you have fun exploring this world, as well as seeing the characters interact with their environment... and each other. *Updates every other Tuesday. I'm excited to share the chapters that I am currently editing, and I would like to hear anything you have to say about the story.

This new world is a game of survival. Not much different than the old world, but instead of taxes and rent, it's infected monsters growling around every corner and the inability to trust anyone that comes your way. You've made your peace with dragging along, waiting out the days until you finally succumb to the sweet taste of death. But when you accidentally get fucked over during a business deal and end up on an unfortunate road trip with old (not) friends and some random kid, you're not sure what to think or how to handle this sort of situation. But it'll be fine, right? It's just delivering the kid, making an exchange for some goods, then back to your miserable life. Back to living the dream. All you have to do is deliver the kid, safe and sound. Easy peasy. ----- Joel Miller x OC Reader - based mostly on the HBO show, but with some added things from the game (and my original content/plot lines too).

Inspired by the world of Project Zomboid. Written for readers who enjoy the quiet humanity of The Road, the protective bond of The Last of Us. Earl Mullins is fifty-four years old, a retired U.S. Army rifleman and armorer who never learned to read. Armed with nothing more than a battered soup spoon and decades of hard-earned discipline, he survives by refusing to make unnecessary noise. Everything changes when he discovers seven-year-old Molly Calhoun hiding alone beneath a farmhouse. Together they cross the ruined countryside of Knox County, searching for the only family she has left. Along the way they build more than a refuge-they build a future. While Earl teaches the quiet arts of survival, Molly discovers that knowledge may be the last weapon humanity still possesses. When a scientist reveals that the Knox virus might one day be cured-not by miracles, but through years of research, technology, and sacrifice-their journey becomes more than survival. It becomes the first step toward rebuilding civilization. **Veteran and Molly** is a slow-burning survival drama inspired by the world of *Project Zomboid*, focusing on humanity, community, and hope rather than spectacle. It is a story about inheritance-of skills, of knowledge, and of the quiet determination to keep one child alive long enough to inherit the future. --- ## Disclaimer *Veteran and Molly* is an unofficial, non-commercial fan work inspired by the fictional universe of **Project Zomboid**.

The war is over. But healing is its own kind of battle. Grace, now Georgia has survived the fall of VIRE and the ghosts that nearly consumed her. Now, among the broken bones of rebellion, she works... bleeding, rebuilding, enduring. But recovery isn't quiet. It's messy, painful, and laced with scars that don't always fade. As whispers of a cure begin to spread, so do the cracks in Georgia's armor. The boy she thought dead walks again, the people she loves are healing... and she's still drowning in silence and vodka. Some days, surviving is a victory. Other days, it's a punishment. But hope is stubborn. And love... slow, soft, impossible love, might just be enough to call her back. They didn't fight to escape the past. They fought to build a future. This is what comes after survival. There are four books in the series. Survive is the fourth book.

On that fateful day, the earth shook in terror as the seas rose to take what none of them were ready to give. In a blink of an eye, it swallowed everything that stands in its path, letting that small strip of crust we call home to be one with the unreachable depths no man could reach. Yet, a small handful of us are still here. In a pursuit to reach for other pieces of earth we could stand upon and live together, rebuilding everything that had slipped from our fingers. We are the ones the water did not want, or perhaps simply forgot to finish. There is no shame in saying it plainly, we are what remains, nothing more, nothing less. And still, remaining is its own quiet defiance. The horizon over there offers no promises. Only that faint, stubborn line where sky meets sea, where somewhere beyond it, a speck of land resides somewhere. We do not know if we sail toward salvation or further into the same hunger that took everything else. But a ship does not ask permission to move forward, and neither, it seems, do we. So off we go, this small group of the spared, carrying nothing but each other, and the strange, aching duty of beginning again.

Lawrence, a man living in the remnants of a broken world, navigates his way through fields of destruction. The world is beyond desperate. The Ick shrouds all.

400 years have passed since the Great Catastrophe. The world has frozen in an endless state where survivors build camps from rusted remnants of civilization, and colored glass serves as currency.

In the abandoned ruins of cities, which people now consider cursed, an orange light has begun to glow once again. Nanites - the invisible builders of the past - have started reactivation. Now Michael and the boy he saved, Sam, are the only ones standing between the fragile human world and the Khemars - infected beasts driven by bloodlust. Will Sam be able to find "Subject 2", whose pendant resonates in rhythm with his own heart, before the symphony of war erases what remains of humanity?
