In a world where survival of the fittest is more literal than just a saying, where vast, deserted wastelands full of flesh craved nano-organisms and forests swarmed with mutated animals and moving trees are 'the norm'.
Where whole cities are built on-top of the ocean because it's the only thing that's empty and not trying to kill them.
But there are some that venture onto land, we call them finders.
Among the finders there are Rigs, Savarians And the Toys.
Arina "Rin" Lancaster is a Savarian, someone who scavenges to survive, usually from other finders and sometimes even from the settlers (live on the ocean).
Here is her story...

Awakened
Naomi believed her life was ordinary, her challenges no different from anyone else's-until the day she was torn from her world. Abducted through a mysterious portal and thrust into a breathtaking yet dangerous realm, Naomi finds herself face-to-face with Creed, a powerful and enigmatic ruler who reveals truths that shake the very foundation of her existence. She is no ordinary human; she is a Starseed, a being of immense power tied to a prophecy that spans dimensions. Trapped in Creed's world and cut off from her sister, Naomi struggles to reconcile her awakening powers with her fear of the unknown. Creed, a man with secrets of his own, insists she is the key to saving not just his people but the universe itself.

As the Dark Forces close in, hunting her for reasons she cannot yet fully understand, Naomi must decide whether to embrace her destiny or risk losing everything-and everyone-she holds dear. With time running out, she discovers that survival demands more than courage; it requires her to unlock the truth of who she is, even if it means forging an unbreakable bond with the one man who could destroy her. In a universe where light and darkness wage a timeless war, Naomi's choices will shape the fate of worlds. But will she rise to the challenge, or will the weight of her destiny crush her before she can fight back?

WARNING!!!!! 18+ fantasy taboo When humanity abandons Earth in search of survival, Captain Elias Carter and his 18-year-old daughter, Lucy Carter, find themselves stranded on the alien planet Kaelora after their starship, Eclipse, crash-lands. The planet is as breathtaking as it is unforgiving, with glowing bioluminescent landscapes, extreme weather, and remnants of a long-lost alien civilization. With no chance of rescue and supplies running low, Elias and Lucy must work together to endure Kaelora's dangers. Elias, a seasoned pilot haunted by the loss of his wife, is determined to protect Lucy at all costs. Lucy, brilliant and bold, is eager to prove herself, taking risks to uncover the secrets hidden in the planet's alien ruins and strange technology. As they navigate the perils of survival, the two grapple with their complex relationship. Elias's cautious nature often clashes with Lucy's impulsive determination, forcing them to confront their grief, differences, and the strength of their bond as father and daughter. When they discover that their crash may not have been an accident and that Kaelora holds the key to humanity's survival, Elias and Lucy are thrust into a race against time. Together, they must unravel the mysteries of the planet and face impossible choices that will determine the fate of not only their lives but also the remnants of humanity. Kaelora is more than a story of survival-it's a tale of love, resilience, and hope in the face of overwhelming odds.
Earth, After ✔️
Some fates are worse than death--survival is one of them. In the two hundred years since humanity left the Earth's surface to live in the sky, life on the ground faded to a myth, a tragic memory from which they severed themselves to survive. They floated above continents turned to sand and lands swallowed by the seas, watched storm after storm rage against their cities and their monuments until they broke apart the last vestiges of civilization in penance for generations of human greed. As a lightning harvester charged with flying her ship into these storms for energy, Raina has seen more of the planet than most. She has spent her entire life soaring above its craters and scars, studying the gaping wounds of human devastation, as she honed her skills and became the youngest captain in storm-chaser history. Her ship has flown for generations. Her skills are unparalleled. But none of that matters the day they go down. ~ Praise for Earth, After: "I'm so not ready for this ending.
