???: "To anyone listening who has not been infected, this is a message from the Environmental Logistics & Solutions Enterprise. As you are keenly aware, our dear Earth has seen better days before the Great Desertification. And to make matters even more dire, our own attempt at combating it has turned against us. This planet is beyond our control, and beyond our help. Which is why we have taken to the stars for a fresh new start." "By the time you've received this -- we, among the rest of humanity's remnants, have set a course for the identified exoplanet Si-[**static**] confirmed to support life. As for you and anyone else unfortunate enough to've been left behind, our organization has left a parting gift to help mitigate this global ordeal. And so, we ask that you be well-advised." "If you happen to come across any carrier of the Absolute Zero virus, direct skin contact is to be avoided at all cost. It cannot be treated, and despite our best efforts, there is no known cure. So in terms of safety precautions, long-ranged heat-based weaponry is highly recommended; Flame throwers, explosives, lasers, etc. But keep in mind that they can only slow them down, not kill them outright. The cold from within will not allow that." "Furthermore, hiding from plain sight is not a viable option. They will know where you are. Not by your tracks, but by-[***static***]-atter-[***static***]-verall survival strategy is to stay as far away from the carrier as possible -- and allow our trusted St. Helio units to intervene. Rest assured, they will keep them subdued. And if all goes according to plan, the virus we created will spread no further." "Those of you who remain here have our deepest apologies. As well as our sincerest hope that you may persevere, just as human life has done since the very beginning. Farewell, good luck, and Godspeed. This world rests in your hands now."

But when an attack destroys the shields protecting the city, Noah offers to go along with another man named Jack to find the right materials to restore it.

Lucy MacLean was raised on three things: the Golden Rule, the promise of a reclaimed America, and the safety of Vault 33. But the Mojave Wasteland is a cruel teacher, and just as she begins to track her father toward the neon lights of New Vegas, the universe glitches. In a flash of blinding blue light, the desert of Earth is replaced by the blood-red sands of Pandora-a planet where the oxygen tastes like gunpowder, the wildlife wants to wear your skin, and the word "civilization" is a punchline. Armed with nothing but her Pip-Boy, a tranquilizer gun, and an optimism that borders on suicidal, Lucy is a "Vault Dweller" in a world that only cares about "Vault Hunters." To survive, she'll have to strike a deal with the most dangerous woman on the planet: Lilith, a legendary Siren with tattoos that glow like starlight and a heart guarded by layers of fire and cynicism. As they trek across the Borderlands to recover the Eridian Key shards, the culture shock is as explosive as the combat. Lucy sees a hero beneath Lilith's jagged edges; Lilith sees a spark in Lucy's blue eyes that she thought the galaxy had snuffed out years ago. Between bandit raids, corporate conspiracies, and the awakening of an ancient cosmic horror, a slow-burn heat begins to rival the heat of the Pandora suns. Lucy is desperate to find a way home-but as her bond with the Siren deepens, she must decide if home is a place under the ground, or a person who makes her feel truly alive in the chaos.

When a shimmering rift in the Westerosi sky swallows Rhaenyra Targaryen and her dragon Syrax, they don't land in the Reach-they crash into the bone-chilling, radioactive ruins of post-apocalyptic 2030s Moscow. Found by the Ranger Artyom and the deadly sniper Anna during their desperate escape aboard the Aurora, Rhaenyra is a living anomaly. Carrying the blood of Old Valyria, she and her beast possess a terrifying gift: a total immunity to the radiation that haunts the tunnels. As the Aurora steamrolls across the Russian wilderness in search of a habitable home, Rhaenyra's presence shifts the scales of power forever. But survival isn't the only thing evolving. Amidst the cramped berths of the train and the haunting silence of frozen cities, a complex, high-stakes heat begins to simmer. Between Rhaenyra's commanding fire, Anna's fierce devotion, and Artyom's quiet resilience, a polyamorous bond forms-one forged in trauma, sealed by dragon magic, and explored through raw, scorched-earth passion. In a world where the air is poison, their connection is the only thing that breathes. Content Warning This story is intended for mature audiences and contains sexual content featuring polyamorous dynamics, including themes of dominance and submission. Readers should also be advised of graphic depictions of post-apocalyptic violence, survival horror, radiation-related trauma, and the dark, claustrophobic atmosphere consistent with a war-torn wasteland.

After receiving a radio transmission from a distant shelter offering a new location to stay, the group is forced to embark on a dangerous journey. Upon arriving at the destination, Aurora finds her group to be more in need of rescue than ever before.

I'm sure this will be dis-proven by Isayama Sensei himself. But it was gnawing at the back of my head to the point I could think of little else, and I have a month before the next chapter comes out. So...please enjoy.

Fast, fearless, and terrifyingly theatrical, she wields her shotgun and her dark humor to lead a ragtag crew through ruined cities where every step could be their last. Loyalty drives her. Chaos follows her. Fear defines her. In a wasteland of the undead and the untrustworthy, only one truth remains: she's the reckoning they never saw coming.

The continuing story of Edmun Roberts as he faces trial and tribulations in the post apoalyptice world where a Solar Wave destroyed all the man-made stars that floated above the planet and crashed mankind into a twilight of fractured loyalties and forgotten glory.

When a mysterious rift flings the hyper-advanced Eve from the ruins of her own world into the radioactive dust of the Mojave wasteland , she doesn't find a sanctuary-she finds Jax, a ruthless, bad-karma Courier with a bullet wound in her head and a heart hardened by years of wasteland extortion. Equipped with her Blood Edge and shifting Nano Suits, Eve is a "Green Angel" in a world of scrap metal and desperation. While Eve's programmed idealism drives her to protect the innocent, Jax's pragmatic cynicism-honed by years of murder-for-caps and opportunistic betrayal-initially views the newcomer as nothing more than a high-tech asset. As they journey from the crucified horrors of Nipton to the neon decadence of the New Vegas Strip, their partnership evolves from a wary alliance into a volatile, romance. Amidst the clashing of Tachy Mode blades and anti-materiel rifles, Eve must decide if she can love a woman who would burn the world down to rule it, while Jax discovers that even a soul lost to the wastes might be worth saving. Together, they navigate a path of "Independent" rule, carving out a new future where high-tech divinity meets low-life grit.

They say that life finished after the destruction. That's why they called it 'The End'. The world as it once was is gone and it's never coming back. All that's left now are those that are too stubborn to die. --Updated Fortnightly--

This is a cautionary tale about a book that drove our world to self-destruction. An unlikely quartet - a waitress, an ex-librarian, a cat and a book that's not a book - travel an alternate-reality America torn apart by conspiracy theories, mistrust, natural and man-made disasters, in search of Melon Uskogee, the greatest coder on Earth. But is he a savior, or is he...an author?

Echo Pustkowi Gdzie woda jest krwią świata Aenon Iterum W świecie, gdzie słońce spaliło ostatnie krople nadziei, a pył pochłonął wspomnienia minionych wieków, każda kropla wody jest warta więcej niż złoto. Kael, Wędrowiec Pyłu, naznaczony traumą Rzezi Węzła - masakry, która odebrała mu wszystko - wierzy, że klucz do przetrwania leży w Project Eden, legendarnym źródle czystej wody. Ale Pustkowie to miejsce pełne kłamstw. Fundacja "Pamięć" kontroluje prawdę, Wodonoścy sprawują terror, a fanatyczni Rdzawi Templariusze dążą do ostatecznego "oczyszczenia". Kiedy Kael odkrywa przerażającą prawdę o Wielkim Suszu i mrocznych manipulacjach dawnej korporacji Aqua Veritas, jego walka o Project Eden staje się bitwą o coś znacznie większego - o świadomość ludzkości i ostateczny kształt nowego świata. Czy w cieniu dawnych kłamstw i wszechobecnej suszy, Kael zdoła zasiać ziarno prawdy i poprowadzić Pustkowia ku Nowemu Światu? Czy czysta woda stanie się symbolem wolności, czy kolejnym narzędziem kontroli? "Echo Pustkowi" to wciągająca opowieść o determinacji, walce o prawdę i nadziei, która rozkwita nawet w najbardziej jałowych krainach. Zanurz się w świecie, gdzie przetrwanie to dopiero początek, a prawdziwe wyzwanie polega na odzyskaniu tego, co zostało utracone - wiary w lepszą przyszłość.

Some believe that this adaption can be aided by science and that the next step in human evolution will be brought bout through the manipulation of genetics. Society disagreed.
