[LIVE EDITING. Pardon the unfinished and contradicting paragraphs]
On March 14, 2032, an extraterrestrial prion, Olelukye-3 (OLK3), infected millions around the world.Those afflicted fell into irreversible paralysis, and no carrier survived. Leadership and militia were scarce, and so anarchy ensued. The world, and humankind itself, was more divided than ever in history. As men begat men, and like an illicit lover, the virus came crawling back, as it was not done with humankind just yet. Once lethal to the living, it evolved to frolic within its dead victims, furcating into diverse pathogens that grant its undead host very specific mutations. Mankind united once again for an inexorable cause; a common enemy, or rather, five enemies. Five viruses, five races, five legions.
Tessa, struggling to keep food on the table amongst a hundred others in a remote survivor colony, is left alone to raise her younger brother Cal, all the while trying her best to stay afloat and forget a macabre past. But as change is tentative as the wind, their meek and pacific lives turn for the worse, falling dead center into the discord.
As the United Human Army, the Presbyters, the Hexenhammers, and the Four Kings skirmish with Earth as trophy and throne, Tessa fights to preserve her humanity as she races to save the one she loves the most in a World War only predicted to be the end of the human race;
the Virus War.

GENESIS - THE BEGINNING. Book 1
Ragnarök The war of the gods The Valkyrie are running short of Einherjar, the souls of the valiantly slain in battle. These souls are incorporated into the god's armed forces. An armed force numbering in the countless millions that are just waiting for the call to battle, a battle of might and revenge against their opponents, the Jötnar giants and their offspring. But first the Jötnar must be brought into the fold to destroy an enemy that could vanquish them both with relative ease. The Valkyrie cannot allow any outside influence to disrupt their existence, an existence that has been teetering on the brink of war for countless years. So when Loki, a Jötnar giant adopted by the supreme god of the Valkyrie and cast aside due to his lack of respect and therefore punished, decides, on his escape, to initiate contact with Earth thereby hastening Ragnarök - the war of the gods seems eminent. Meanwhile, the Galactic Empire, having escaped Earths clutches, is suddenly embroiled in a covert attempt to bring Earth back into their stagnant existence. Katya Berotivich, a young and vengeful woman succeeds in becoming the new Emperor of the Galactic Empire. Her philosophy is a simple one; take revenge on all those that hurt her and protect the Empire by whatever means possible. Even should it call for making friends of enemies, enemies that have attacked the Empire for hundreds of years but never outright destroying it. This is Ragnarök, Where PROPHESY HAS BECOME A REALITY!Complete
The Serum
It's the year 2250. Humanity is facing the largest threat in all of history. Ever since it first arrived in 2020, the coronavirus has mutated and developed resistance to the antibodies.

Her father and the love of her life were both taken from her and turned into the deranged monsters that lurk outside the dome. But when the president announces that they have found a serum that could repel the infection, Lizzy knows better than to hope. She wants nothing to do with the virus. But when she's drafted as one of the four to go and receive the serum, Lizzy has no choice but to accept. Going past the dome, walking thousands of miles through Creeper-infested ruins, then bringing back a serum that may not even work? It's a death sentence. But what other choice does she have?

Thoreau
***This book will be unpublished in Wattpad on May 31, 2024. Starting June 1, 2024, it will be available for loan through the Kindle Unlimited library or to purchase on Amazon as an ebook, paperback, or hardcover. I will leave up the chapters so you can leave/read the comments and view the photo collages.*** Thoreau Jones, 15, has had a terrible life since his older brother Emerson left Gray Shadows. His parents, the alpha and luna of the pack, constantly remind him that it's his fault Emerson took off, just like it's his fault for being "retarded." His only friend, Binda, tries to tell him otherwise, but he knows the truth. If his brain wasn't so broken, Emerson would have stayed, and Mommy Daddy wouldn't have to "fix" him every day or keep him locked in a cage in the attic. When his parents finally give up on him, they ship him off to Five Fangs with the warning that Emerson will either keep him or kill him. Thoreau knows his brother won't want him and can only hope that his death will be quick. After all, if he's so broken that even his parents can't love him, it's probably for the best. However, it isn't death that awaits our sweet boy at Five Fangs, and the Moon Goddess has more blessings in store for him than he could have ever imagined... ***Copyrighted and all rights reserved.

Stronger, faster and tougher than the best of humanity, yet smarter and far more skilled than the Feral Hordes. The Nýúlfur. Pushed to their breaking point, humanity lashed out in hatred, if not in chemical, biological or nuclear hellfire, then by their force of arms. Today, only a handful of cities and nations survive, amongst them, the post-apocalyptic country of Cascadia. But the Ferals continue to prowl the world, whilst the Nýúlfur to continue to fight both human and Feral alike out in the wilderness. But things have started to change. One human survivor finds himself twisted and altered through immoral experimentation, leaving him an outcast. As he struggles to put what is left of his life back together, this survivor's newfound status gives him a unique insight into the world, and the true nature of the conflict between Humanity and the Nýúlfur. But soon, the mysterious Organisation that experimented on him in the first place will re-emerge. An Organisation with a peculiar connection to the Retrovirus itself...

The Vampire Apocalypse Series Introduction - Book 0 Blood Bond
(Changed from book 1 to 0 but to lazy to edit the cover lol) Viktor wakes up with a burning thirst and the horrifying realization that he's become the very monster he helped create. The immortality treatment wasn't supposed to turn people into blood-drinking predators. It wasn't supposed to collapse civilization overnight. And it definitely wasn't supposed to transform half the world's population into vampires. Yet here he is-a brilliant scientist now hiding in the shadows, fighting his own savage hunger while documenting the virus's effects with clinical precision. Viktor's desperate to hold onto whatever scraps of humanity he can, even as his new instincts scream at him to hunt. Elena's blood is special-a fact that now makes her a target for both vampires and hunters alike. When she's cornered by men with silver weapons and a burning hatred for anything with fangs, her rescue comes from the most unlikely source: a vampire who, inexplicably, chooses not to feed on her. As the remnants of human society fracture into territories, feeding hierarchies, and blood farms, Viktor and Elena form an uneasy alliance. She sees the scientist still fighting inside the monster. He sees the answer to questions about the virus that haunts him. Neither expects the connection that forms between predator and prey, researcher and subject, monster and human. In the ruins of a fallen world where new power structures emerge from the ashes, their partnership defies everything the new order stands for. But in a reality where humans are hunted, vampires rule, and mysterious new creatures emerge from the shadows, breaking the rules might be the only way to survive. Welcome to the beginning of the end-and maybe, just maybe, the start of something else entirely. "The real experiment isn't what's in my blood. It's whether a monster can choose to be human again."Complete

First to Rise (Excerpt)
The aliens came here for one thing, and one thing only.... Females. ( This story is only available through inkitt or galatea!!!) (some read events may apply) (check update chapter for more details!) Humans believed they were the only intelligent life to exist... that it was impossible for another species to evolve in a way where they could prevail in something as great as space travel. humans believed they were supposed to be the most technologically advanced species and the alpha predators... They were wrong. The Xandisians evolved in ways humans never could have imagined, they are natural-born killers with phenomenal strength and agility. Their kind never went through the same devolution as humans, they never lost their natural instincts to hunt, kill, or breed. With their limitless potential and monstrous strength, they faced few threats and could survive almost any threat that befall their species, almost. After an incurable sickness washes over the planet of xanadis, the majority of the female, young and elderly, and vulnerable population is all but wiped out, leaving a small portion of the male population to face the threat of extinction. With no choice but to look to the stars for a means to save their kind from complete annihilation, the xandisians set out to find a race compatible with their own. after many years and countless failed expeditions, they finally find a species that matches their base DNA on a planet called Earth. The only issue now is how humans will react. (Book 2 LTF series) (CAN be read as a stand alone, but not recommended for nostalgia reasons~) (ps this is UNEDITED, grammar and spelling mistakes will ensue!) (NOTE: THIS IS ITS OWN STORY NOT A CONTINUATION. SAME CHARACTERS BUT DIFFERENT PLOT.)(Last to fall au/spin-off)Complete
