Post-apocolyptic Stories

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.

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.

Lin felt trapped. Trapped within the borders of an invisible line, swallowed by the ideals and delusions of the people around him. As a child he'd been told he was among the last humans on earth, living on the edge all his life until his peers began to age and the children gradually died off. 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. He had nothing in mind but the journey he seemed obliged to take. Where to? Lin didn't know. So what else could he do but follow? A simple story about a boy with a restless soul and a wandering spirit unsure of which direction to take. This is an LGBTQ+ story, so please respect. Sweet romance, no smut.

Never thought I'd join Blue Spirits, but you know what they say, when stars align, they shit on you. When I was a kid, life was all about my sister. Everyone I'd ever known growing up had some poik spots somewhere. It was normal. Then these freak kids were born who never got em. Clean, and my sister was one of them. Those kids started to disappear. It had to be the Supremacy, and since they had been coming around more often, I felt like I had to guard my sister with my life. No one ever really questioned Supra around here. They just kind of let them do whatever. But there was one kid who wanted to make a difference, and everyone knew him by his nickname like a Super Hero. Rebellion. The Kid Crusader wanted to be behind it all, and for whatever reason, he wanted me to join him. Blue Spirits? Well that comes later. Just let me tell my story, for cryin' out loud. This is my story. It's kind of slow, but it's still mine nonetheless.

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.

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.

Two random and failed scientists accidentally release a mysterious green gas that turns people into smart zombies.

In the aftermath of the train attack, and losing his daughter - Kenneth "Keta" Walker must join with four unlikely allies in a quest to restore peace to the fractured world of Reborn

Michael Nguyen and Silvia Kitridge are both brilliant in their own regard; they are the pride of Westview High. The faculty just wishes they didn't spend every minute of the past two and a half years at each other's throats. Just because the apocalypse has flipped the world on its head, it doesn't mean they'll suddenly get along now.

For eighteen years, the girls wait. Every summer, the boys are sent beyond the boundary and into the wild. Alone. Untrained. Unprotected. They must survive the wilderness until the Choosing begins. Then the girls enter the forest. Some search for childhood promises. Some search for status. Some search for love. The first boy a girl finds becomes her partner, her future, and the life she is expected to build. Everyone knows who Rae is supposed to find. Everyone except Rae. As the days pass and the forest begins giving up its boys, the one she is searching for remains missing, while the one every girl dreams of finding appears directly in her path. But the wilderness changes people. Boys return with secrets. Friendships fracture. And for the first time in living memory, not everyone wants to be found. Because the greatest danger may not be what happened in the wild. It may be what comes home with the boys.

All their lives, the tainted threat loomed. While Rossi and her village faced attacks--a single tainted's destruction, before they could burn them--Bianca lived among the tainted and every day faced the Shadow in her own body. They feel compelled to risk the unthinkable, go Downtown to find the crack between universes. Their journey won't actually take them far from home, but that's the problem. Everyone close to their hearts is threatened. This is a story of challenges: the challenge of survival in a post-apocalyptic world. But also, the challenge of working with people under stress, often through pain, some you don't like, some close friends you take for granted, some new friends with a totally different worldview. There are multiple seasons before the primary goal is resolved. Regularly scheduled programming every 2nd and 4th Wed. Wherever you see Rossi's journal is a "bookmark" to help you when you need to step away, giving you an eye-catching way to pick up where you left off. Every episode is a 20-30 min read (4000-6000 words), but bookmarks / scene breaks are around 1400 words. All seasons are written, but I'm still editing! Stick with me, and you will see the completed story. For fans of post-apocalyptic hopepunk! If you enjoyed Station Eleven or Sweet Tooth, then I hope you'll enjoy this character-driven saga of found family and long lost friends enduring wasteland survival with Practical Magic style witchcraft.

People said animals could smell danger. Rowan learned young that humans were usually worse. After the world ends, she returns to the animal rehabilitation center she once worked at to free the creatures left behind. Instead, she finds a dying jaguar and the cub she leaves behind. From that moment on, Rowan stops trying to belong to people at all. Years later, rumors spread across the wasteland about Negan's younger sister, the woman who rides with a stallion like thunder, a wolfdog that mirrors her anger, a hawk circling overhead, and a black jaguar that walks beside her like death itself. Cold. Violent. Inhuman. At least that's what people say. When Rowan crosses paths with Rick Grimes' group, they already think they know exactly what she is. She's taken prisoner, distrusted, feared, and watched constantly while her animals grow restless behind Alexandria's walls. And with Negan searching for the sibling who disappeared from his side long ago, Rowan quickly becomes more than just a threat, she becomes a problem no one knows how to solve. Especially Daryl Dixon. Because the closer he gets to her, the more he realizes something terrifying. The woman everyone calls a monster only ever felt safe beside animals. And maybe there's a reason they bare their teeth whenever humans get too close.

"Oi, I'm not Awakened but if you give me food and weapons, I'll register as one!" - With no usable combat ability, graphic artist Lee Ryujin had no other choice in order to survive but to enlist in the military with an Awakened status. After he gets himself a one-way ticket to a mysterious Rift, he wakes up inside an imperial palace of a civilization with magic. A handsome man with a crown? Not a king but an emperor? And Ryujin is supposed to be the Prime Minister? What? Must he try to get into the emperor's good graces? In what bullshit novel did he suddenly-oh, it's not an isekai or transmigration? "Your Majesty! There's a misunderstanding! Don't send me to the frontlines. I'm not Awakened!" Watch as our taciturn MC finds himself clumsily tiptoeing between two worlds. **Slowburn BL with stoic top x hopeless tyrant bottom

"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.

Tessa gave herself up to the Shelter so her mother and little sister wouldn't starve. She thought that sacrifice was the worst thing she'd ever have to do. She was wrong. When her sister Meg shows up at the gates - alone, soaked, and renamed "Gem" by the leader who runs this place - Tessa learns two things in the same breath: their mother is dead, and a Deserter killed her. With two roommates, a stolen escape kit, and a guard who shouldn't be helping her, Tessa breaks out to find Meg and make whoever did this pay. But the forest outside isn't empty. Something the world was told died eight years ago is still out there - Revenge has a name. Tessa just doesn't know it's closer than she thinks.

At midnight, every screen in India showed the same message. By sunrise, two hundred million people were dead. The System arrived without warning, without mercy, and without explanation. Monsters poured from a torn sky. Cities fell in hours. And almost overnight, the survivors of Pune found themselves levelling up, awakening rare Classes, becoming something more than human. Almost everyone. Aryan Mehta got nothing. No Class. No stats. No power. Just a System screen that reads ERROR where everyone else's reads LEVEL 1. In a world ruled by the strong, he should already be dead. Instead, he survives on something the System can't measure: he watches. He learns the monsters' patterns. He out-thinks Awakened five levels above him. And slowly, he starts to realize his "nothing" might be the one thing the System is actually afraid of. Because somewhere in the static between notifications, a truth is hiding, one the System never meant for him to find. The apocalypse isn't random. It isn't even new. And the price for surviving it might be far worse than dying in it. A bounty is placed on his head. Every Awakened in the city wants him dead. And beneath the Himalayas, something ancient has just opened its eyes. He has nine years to find out the truth. He might not get nine days.

Book 1: When The World Died (The Beginning Of The End) The world didn't end with a bang. It rotted. One second, everything was normal. The next-everything collapsed. Death came fast. What followed came faster. The dead didn't stay dead. They kept moving. And they didn't stop. December Hayes was never meant to survive a world like this-soft, untrained, unprepared. But survival doesn't care who you used to be. It strips you down and forces you to become something else. Saved by a stranger who trusts no one and trained like a weapon just to stay alive, December is thrown into a reality where hesitation gets you killed-and mercy can be more brutal than death. Because out there, the infected aren't the only monsters. And sometimes, the most dangerous thing in the world... is still human. --- © All Rights Reserved 2026
