    METAL CRAB RISES AND TAKES OVER THE ENTIRE NIKKE UNIVERSE THROUGH CARCINIZATION AND CONQUEST. THAT'S IT. 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 just existing? It's (still) a crazy idea, so I'm gonna write it. This story contains various experimental concepts that will become plotlines for this fanfiction, which means it is a heavy AU, and is Action Packed on later chapters. (Thanks to SimpusMogus the Lolimancer for the Title Art) (NOTE: IRREGULAR UPDATES)

    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.

Kailanni Kane was never supposed to be sent to Earth. As the daughter of Marcus Kane, her future on the Ark was meant to be built on obedience and survival-until she discovered her father was responsible for her mother's death when Kailanni was only a baby. After attacking him in front of Council security, she was sentenced to the Sky Box, where she would later be sent to the ground alongside the other ninety-nine juvenile delinquents. But Earth is nothing like the Ark promised. Dangerous, violent, and unforgiving, the ground forces Kailanni into constant conflict with Bellamy Blake, a reckless rebel who sees her as everything he hates about the Ark. She sees him as chaos in human form. Yet somewhere between survival, impossible choices, and learning how to live beneath an open sky, their hatred begins turning into something neither of them expected.

He found himself alone with the empty feeling of humanity's flame withering along with him. Until he met a boy. A stranger, captivating in the way he shattered the beliefs Lin had built up in his mind. But the boy didn't know this, nor did he seem to care.

    Seventy-nine years of war. Six weeks of peace. One day to end it all. Corporal Kael Venn has known nothing but the Pendulum Wars. Raised in the rural dust of Tyrus, he was drafted into the COG's endless meat-grinder, losing his mother to Rustlung and his innocence to the trenches. By the time the armistice is signed, he is a hollowed-out Sergeant whose only family is his squad-and the ghosts of those he couldn't save. But the galaxy offers a fleeting, cruel hope. Kael is assigned to a diplomatic escort to Valoria Prime-a magnificent foreign city untouched by the seventy-nine-year conflict. For the first time, he tastes a life without gunpowder and grief. Yet beneath the white marble and crystal canals, ancient carvings whisper of a subterranean "Hunger." Seismic sensors scream with warnings the COG chooses to ignore. Six weeks of peace. That is all humanity gets. Emergence Day shatters the world. The Locust Horde erupts from the earth, reducing Valoria Prime to ash and drowning the farmlands in fire. One-quarter of humanity dies in twenty-six hours. Kael watches his future burn, his squad bleed, and his sister's safety hang by a thread. As the Hammer of Dawn scorches the planet and the Locust Queen reveals her terrifying human face, Kael must navigate a war of annihilation-where survival is the only victory, and the line between monster and man blurs with every casualty. From the frozen trenches of the Ostri Front to the bioluminescent Crystal Caverns of the Hollow, and into the heart of a foreign city's fall... This is not the story of heroes. This is the story of those who survived the pendulum's final swing.

    Reborn three days before the apocalypse, Chen Han knows exactly what's coming. One year after the launch of the global hit survival game 【Doomsday Dawn】, the game will descend into reality. Zombies will overrun the world, mutant beasts will hunt humanity, and civilization will collapse overnight. In his previous life, Chen Han survived the apocalypse only to be betrayed and murdered by the woman he loved, who coveted the resources he had risked everything to obtain. This time, he won't make the same mistake. Taking advantage of the recharge channel not yet being closed, Chen Han spent his entire fortune to activate the game's hidden class: the SSS-Rank Sword Immortal. Armed with knowledge from the future, he discovers a game-breaking loophole that allows him to store uncontaminated food before the apocalypse begins. While others remain unaware of the coming disaster, Chen Han buys out the entire food market, stockpiles endless supplies, awakens hidden opportunities, and prepares to monopolize the resources of the new world.

"We androids were modeled after our human creators." You heard that so often you wondered if it was really true.. I was overall different.. Designed to stand out, to be a target. I was so different compared to them, while they were perfect, they were the blueprint.. .. while I was.. Me. A/N ; I'm writing this for fun, also I haven't seen any poc inclusion in the Neir fanfic scene so I'll be the first! • AU beginning before the actual story line • MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD, slight language.

    "Civilization has nearly fallen as Blood Storms swept through major cities, monsters of the bloody shadow followed in the storm and killed all that got in their way. Cities are massacred and the storms rage across the planet." It is a two hundred years later and the world has slowly recovered. The might Blood Storm that once covered the entire planet has fractured into thousands of smaller Storms around the world. The countryside is constantly ravaged by Blood Storms, no one goes in them unless they want to travel to another city. Unlike the countryside, cities have a chance to rebuild but mistrust and violence over resources have made it hard for them to come back together. Totalitarian groups formed from old military remnants, promising to save the world but secretly want it to stay fractured just for their own gain of power in the seat. Groups formed outside these cities, fighting for survival, Raiders attack in the night and melee becomes the new combat norm. Storm Sickness ravages large populations. They are discriminated against and hated against, considered a different race other than humans. Sanctuaries formed to protect the sick. The Kreed sit as the only group that can stop the Rymar's advance against the Sick. And in all of this mayhem, murder, chaos and misery, Kade Malken and Rovan Kreesh's stories shall unfold.

The powered are blamed for the virus that killed billions and twisted the natural world into something deadly.

As a doctor, he believes every life is worth saving. After a grueling shift, he comes home to find a wounded stranger collapsed on his floor. Saving the man is instinct. What follows is not. The choice pulls Ezra into a hidden war where old hatred still shapes the present, and the truth behind the world's ruin may be more dangerous than the monsters outside the city walls.

    What would you do if you woke up in a dead world- and someone started knocking at your door? Nova Quinn has survived alone for nearly four years. No people. No voices. No signs of life. Just a ruined city, a journal full of days, and four silent crows watching from a wire. She's the last one left... or so she thought. One morning, there's a knock on her door. No footsteps. No faces. Just a voice-whispering her name. A name no one should know. Now, the silence isn't safe anymore. As Nova begins to unravel the mystery behind the knock, she discovers footprints where no one has walked, reflections that move on their own, and journal entries she never wrote. Someone-or something-is watching her... and it remembers the world differently than she does. The deeper she digs, the more the rules of reality twist. And behind it all waits a final door, knocking from both sides.

    She fell from the sky long before the delinquents ever did.
Raised by the ruthless Azgeda queen. Born of Skaikru. Destined for the Flame. Azaraia has never belonged anywhere not to the clan that turned her into a weapon, and not to the bloodline that abandoned her. When the Sky People crash landed on her ground, they did not only bring destruction. They brought long buried secrets with them... including the father who never knew she existed the twin brother she was stolen from. And the mother who discarded her. Caught between her loyalties and the blood that betrayed her, Azaraia is forced to choose where her heart truly lies and with whom. And Bellamy Blake?
He's the one man she should hate.
The one man who refuses to fear her.
The one man who sees through her armor. War is coming. Loyalties will break.
And the girl who fell from the sky may be the one who burns the world with fire and blood or saves it.
