    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.

    [BOOK 2 - SEQUEL TO WITHERING WORLD] It only takes an earthquake and a breathtaking discovery of enhanced human abilities for Jesse's life to change. WITHER was conquered three years ago, bringing brighter days to Beacontown and its allies. The blue mycelium antidote is now the people's weapon, keeping the disease in its grave. And as a plus, the New Order's friendship has never been closer. But when a war is lost, not everyone wants to accept defeat, especially not the disease that'd almost doomed humanity. A wicked mutation is underway, too remorseless to spare even the ones who have the greatest chance of survival. This new, blood-curdling variant is wiser, stronger and has stolen the very tactic that Jesse uses to bring home the victory every time - teamwork. Now forcing the infected to their side, WITHER taunts at the antidote that no longer cures. What hope is left for the world? ~~~~ -PERSPECTIVES- [JESSE - 1ST PERSON] [LUKAS - 1ST PERSON] [PETRA - 1ST PERSON] ****

    Oh, look who's back. Did you really think 'The End' meant the end? ​Admit it, you missed us. Or maybe you just enjoy watching Ragia suffer. Either way, welcome to the Encore. ​It's been a year, and things have gone from bad to 'conceptually absurd'. The Reagalus system is lying through its teeth, the Krall are still a nuisance, and Ragia... well... he's as cranky as ever. Especially since he's still carrying The Pen around like a loaded gun in a crowded room, waiting for the universe to force his hand. ​We are hunting for a ghost of the past. A descendant of M'awoto, and I, your Narrator, will be here to document every sarcastic remark, every plot hole, every nonsensical plot, and every moment the universe decides to break its own rules. ​Sit down and get comfortable. The show isn't over until the fat lady sings... nope... until Ragia decides to rewrite the script. Yeah... Welcome to The Chaotic Fanfare Encore!

    In the desolate ruins of 2147 Earth, civilization was shattered by geo-engineering disasters, nuclear conflict, and climate collapse - leaving the ruthless Obsidian Syndicate to seize control of clean water, fertile land, and every hope for survival. Their "Verdant Spheres" lure desperate survivors into forced labor camps, while hidden beneath the rubble, The Hive fights to protect the innocent and build a world rooted in freedom. When 17-year-old Fae loses her adoptive family to a brutal Syndicate raid after being betrayed by someone she trusted, she's pulled into The Hive's ranks. To gain the strength to fight back, she undergoes radical bio-modification that transforms her body - granting enhanced speed, strength, and the ability to manipulate toxins, but stripping away the appearance she once knew. As she trains alongside Strike Team Wraith, Fae collides with Commander Kaelen Vance, a tactical genius haunted by his sister's abduction. Their fiery clashes soon ignite a passionate connection neither can deny, even as duty demands they keep their distance. Together, they race to stop the Syndicate's deadliest plot yet: a mind-control virus that could enslave all remaining humanity. But as Fae delves deeper into the enemy's secrets, she uncovers a truth that ties her to the Syndicate in ways she never imagined - one that could tear apart everything she's fighting to protect.

    "Spartans never die, they just go MIA." For Noble Six, MIA meant waking up on a planet that makes the Covenant look friendly. After the fall of Reach, the "Hyper-Lethal" Spartan-III is ripped from her dying world and spat out onto the neon-soaked, bullet-riddled wasteland of Pandora. With her MJOLNIR armor failing and no UNSC signal in sight, Six is a ghost without a war-until she collapses at the doorstep of the most dangerous woman in the Borderlands: Mad Moxxi. Moxxi is used to mercenaries and madmen, but she's never met a titan of titanium and silence quite like Six. As Handsome Jack sets his sights on the "specimen" from another galaxy, the Queen of the Underdome and the Ghost of Reach forge a desperate alliance. Between high-stakes heists for Eridium-tech and brutal skirmishes against Hyperion, Six must learn to fight for something more than a mission-and Moxxi must decide if she's willing to risk her heart on a soldier who was born to be expendable. In a world where everything eventually rusts, can a Spartan's love be the only thing that holds?

    Ethan Rost was a hero-a firefighter, a husband, a father. The man who ran into the flames so others could live. But when cancer came for him, he took the miracle cure the world called Genesis, the patch for all human rot, the salvation sold in glossy ads and whispered boardrooms. It cured the tumors. It rewrote his cells. It promised forever. It never said who would live forever inside the rotting cage. Now Ethan is a Remnant-mind trapped behind bone and teeth, forced to watch as the monster in his skin tears through the world he died trying to protect. He can taste every scream. Hear every heartbeat before his hands rip it away. And in the static between kills, he finds others, a chorus of broken minds still awake inside their walking corpses. And far below the ruins, Connor Hale, the last scientist who warned them all, hides behind flickering screens and dying servers, fighting to crack the Genesis code before it devours the last hope for what makes us human. He knows the cure was a lie. He knows the monster is awake. And he knows some things should never be brought back from the grave. This is not your regular zombie apocalypse. No safe farmhouses. No cartoon headshots. No heroes with endless ammo and witty one-liners. This is the apocalypse from the inside out, the last fragments of memory and mercy fighting inside the gnashing teeth. THE PASSENGER is about what happens after the infection, after the flesh is gone, when the only thing left worth saving is your soul. They don't die. They don't sleep. And memory...is the only thing they can't kill.
