Postapacolyptic Stories

The world did not end in an instant. It ended slowly-quietly-like something dying while still pretending to live. Serein Valdez learned to survive in that silence. Not because she was strong, but because she paid attention to things other people ignored. She learned how to move through ruined cities, how to avoid danger before it showed itself, and how to stay invisible long enough to live another day. She never planned to get involved with anyone. Especially not him. Leviandro Solenne is the kind of man who survives without asking permission from the world. Former military. Controlled. Detached. A man who moves like every decision has already been made long before it happens. When Serein finds him surrounded in the ruins-outnumbered, cornered, seconds away from death-she knows she should walk away. She doesn't. That single moment binds them in a world that punishes mistakes and calls attachment a weakness. He doesn't trust her. She shouldn't have saved him. But in a place where survival is no longer about strength alone, but about choice, instinct, and consequence- leaving each other becomes harder than surviving the world itself. And when the quiet finally ends, what's left behind is not just destruction. But the things they were never supposed to feel.

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.

A broken world, is a world that cannot be fixed. A world isn't good or evil, it is neither broken nor fixed. It simply is, a world, a life and that, in of itself is its true beauty Had to get into my deeper writer bag for this shi, PS, this takes HEAVY inspiration from writers like Sui Ishida, Kuro Games heavy story lines, eg PGR, and other similar Mangaka and Authors and Video game dev stories

Four years after the glaciers cracked open and breathed ancient disease into the world, humanity has nearly vanished. The thaw left behind ruins, silence... and things that were never meant to exist. Illinois is one of them. Once human, now a six‑foot, scaled mutation with claws and a heartbeat that still remembers kindness, she wanders the Meltwind searching for a place she can belong. The Onecs-mindless, blood‑seeking remnants of the infected-roam the edges of her path, but they are not what she fears most. It's her reflection. Her memories. The question of who she is now that the world has ended. Then she meets Levi. A quiet, sharp‑eyed survivor who claims her name is short for "Leviathan," Levi carries no visible scars-but her past is the one wrapped in shadows. Illinois soon learns Levi escaped an asylum the night the outbreak began, and the truth about who she was before the world fell may be more dangerous than the creatures outside. Together, the two form an uneasy alliance, bound by necessity and the fragile hope that they don't have to face the end alone. But trust is hard to build when both of them are hiding pieces of themselves... and when the thawed disease is still changing the world in ways neither of them fully understands. In a landscape shaped by loss and mutation, Illinois and Levi must decide what it means to survive-and what it means to stay human-when everything familiar has melted away. -Take note that there are 25 chapters in total and one will be posted every Monday and Thursdays-

A great city has fallen. A dying world awaits its last flame. Citra the Golden, last bastion of the Kargoroth and cradle of Adral technology, has been brought to ruin beneath the siege of the Honomus king Sorren Edmun. As the Great Cataclysm sweeps across the world, the Kargoroth are left shattered, their ancient pride fading among the ruins. In that twilight, I'üra Ku'ragh is born - half Kargoroth, half Shen - daughter of the colossal King Daenorg and the scholar Danma. Among her people she is an anomaly: smaller, more fragile... and far more thoughtful. Where others see only war, I'üra seeks understanding. She observes, listens, and questions. To her, the Adra is not merely a weapon, but a language - a force that reflects life itself. But a world on the brink of collapse demands more than understanding. As the remnants of her people struggle to survive, I'üra must learn what it truly means to lead - and decide whether the fire within her belongs to blood... or to something far greater. In a world consumed by cataclysm, understanding may be the last path to survival.

Yesterday, the forecast promised 42°C. Today, snow was falling outside my library window. By tomorrow, millions would be dead. And I was still wondering how I was going to get home. A nineteen-year-old college student expected her second year to begin like any other semester. Every day, she spends four hours commuting-two hours to school and two hours back home-taking eight different rides just to attend classes. It's exhausting, but it's her normal life. On the first day of the new semester, after finishing the lunch she brought from home, she heads to the library to wait for her next class. While scrolling through Facebook, she notices strange reports from around the world: sudden snowstorms, impossible temperature drops, and cities freezing overnight. At first, she dismisses them as internet rumors. Then the library becomes colder. The air-conditioning is turned off, yet the temperature continues to fall. The summer heat vanishes. Students begin shivering. Outside the windows, the sky darkens. And then snow starts falling. In the middle of a tropical summer. As governments struggle to explain the phenomenon, temperatures across the globe continue plummeting at impossible speeds. Transportation collapses, power grids fail, food shortages begin, and panic spreads faster than the cold itself. Far from home and surrounded by thousands of frightened students, she must survive a world rapidly freezing to death while trying to make the dangerous journey back to her family. What begins as an ordinary first day of college becomes humanity's fight for survival against an endless winter. The world was supposed to reach 42°C that day.
