In the distant future humans had to abandon a dying earth. Colonization proved hard and long. Colonies across the galaxy battle the elements and natives of alien planets. Some of the alien foes grew up to 15 meters tall, forcing humans to advance their technology further than they were already pushed. This birthed the Colossus Initiative, giant mechanized robots driven by humans. With these robot warriors they were able to combat the nightmarish giants of hostile planets. Years after the Colossus Initiative success, humans were met with a time of relative peace. Peace led to profit as the Colossus were improved and dispersed across several organizations across dozens of colonies. They proved effective in the war against giants, and even more effective in the wars against other humans.
  The natural dysfunction of human nature gave way to many problems. A man, Gregory Crowley, saw the opportunity to help subside one of those problems. Recruiting orphans to work for him as mercenaries, he gave them a new life that they would have otherwise spent in poverty and isolation. In his eyes, and the eyes of many others, he gives orphaned children the chance to fight back a galaxy that's taken everything from them.  Using Colossal technology to bring justice to the galaxy (and make a handsome profit), Crowley and his massive crew are seen as a beacon of hope to planets left destitute by human conflict and genocide. Enter the beginning of a new generation of Outlaws, tasked with a galactic mission that may be too big for anyone to handle. Who will you be able to trust in this story of wonder and mystery?

World of Titans by itzkevinbitsh
22 parts Complete
After the war between Gojira and Ghidorah, the world of humanity has fallen into collapse and only a few urban areas remain. However, the worse was yet to come as Ghidorah had won the war, and using his alpha call, summoned all the titans and order them to reak havoc upon the world. The year is now 2374, you'd think technology would evolve by then, but due to the rule of Ghidorah and his seemingly endless thirst for blood and destruction, humanity's technology protection has taken a massive drop and technology has barely improved since 2019 witch was 355 years ago! The remaining humans after the war are forced to live in small cities where no one is allowed to leave due to how dangerous the outside world is. Lucas Matthew Stevenson and his friend Katie Victoria Johnson are 12-year-old kids who live in the city known as "Saint Havord City". The city is under poverty and is surrounded by a tall, thick wall that hopefully keeps all the titans outside the city and keeps everyone inside the city safe. Supposedly, the world is at the state that the world beyond the wall is just a wasteland from Ghidorah and his subordinate's wrath... but Katie suspects otherwise, that the world outside is not a wasteland. Lucas on the other hand doesn't believe Katie and he wants to keep him and his dad safe as he's the only family he has left. His dad is a very good man, he works as much as he can and makes as much money as possible to keep a roof over their heads. He often tells Lucas about a time when humans and titans lived together and harmonized thousands of years ago... and their ancestors were one of the rare and lucky humans to have a bond with these magnificent gods.

"Glory in War" is an ongoing project with the goal of becoming a potential animated series in the future. Any feedback, review or even comment are welcomed and could help into the story's delivery. For more information, please consider visiting the "WELCOME" Page before starting. OVERALL DESCRIPTION: Legends tell of a war that has brought misery upon our lands, separating us from the united civilisation we once carved into the sand gifted by the suns. It was worse than a punishment from the gods, with the souls of the fallen ones still remaining to fight for the honour and protection of the home they once had, for their stories lost among the land of war, and for the glory they have given in exchange of the blade of memories, witness to their sins, losing themselves into the chaos of fate. Now, only the new generations are capable of changing this chaos and bring peace into our lands. We can only hope that the gods have written our peaceful ending into our fate. PART DESCRIPTION: The second part of "Glory in War" focuses on learning the history of the convicted people, hiding from the city above them ruled by a twisted man. They cannot witness the light of the suns, nor to feel this concept of "freedom" they've built. Because of such matters, they cannot help but remember their past and wonder about their future. And it won't take long before the past will catch up on them and haunt their dreams all over again. CONTENT WARNING: This story contains strong language and dives into subjects such as violence, gore, death, abuse, slavery, cannibalism and mentions of rape. Reader discretion is advised.

#2 in Horror. /02.23.16/ I hear footsteps approaching me, pacing faster and faster making me look back quickly. I see a man in a black fabric mask wearing all black clothing. I widen my eyes beginning to run in the snow making my feet heavy. "Help! Somebody help me!" I scream in a cry looking around to find nobody on sight. "Help!" I scream trying to run faster hoping somebody would hear my cries. My throat became sore from the cold quickly making it harder to breathe freely. "Help me! Somebody!" I hear the tall figure run behind me feeling a grip on my hair. My white ski hat fell into the ground covered in snow. The man groans pulling my hair towards him making me collapse. "No, stop!" I scream struggling from his grasp, punching and kicking aimlessly. "Shhh." The man whispers into my ear grabbing onto my wrists starting to cuff them. "No!" I scream twisting and turning trying to bite the man's arm. The man doesn't say much. The only thing I hear is his heavy breathing. He starts to shackle my ankles together as I lay a full blown kick into his face making him groan in pain holding onto his nose on top of the mask. "Help me, somebody!" I keep yelling as he kicks me in the stomach and takes out a clothed bag from his coat pocket putting it on my head covering my face. He ties it up from the back tightly making my neck feel pressured. "Please." I whimper. "You don't have to do this." I cry admitting defeat. "Night, night." He chuckles hitting me behind the head making me loss consciousness. WARNING: Will contain very disturbing content. This book is not for individuals who are sensitive to these topics.

The Darkness in the Light by djscloud
25 parts Complete
For over a hundred years, humanity has lived in fear of the monsters that roam the streets, lurking in the drains below. Women and their daughters hide, protected in their homes, while men take their sons through the world, teaching them the responsibilities of having a family to feed and dangers to avoid. No one leaves the home unless it's essential, and most of the world prefers it that way. Until one girl spends her days perched on her window seat, looking down at the world below and dreaming of a different life. Her eyes are always drawn to the dark, ominous drains in the street, the ones that often blink open to swallow and person whole. One day, that person is her little brother, snatched right in front of her from their arms of their father and gone forever. When a person is snatched, they never return, and life goes on without them. But she can't accept that. Breaking all the rules, all the things she's ever known, she braves the world outside her little townhouse and goes on a mission into the darkness to find her brother. Only, it's soon her that becomes the one lost to the drains. To survive she must rediscover her world, and in the process, rediscover herself. She will be reunited with old friends, gain new ones, find out deeper secrets about her past than she ever could have imagined, and learn that the world is even more corrupt than she always thought. *** This story contains sexist ideology, mention of cheating, some gruesome scenes, and a whole lot of monsters and darkness. It isn't overly mature... there isn't much explicit language or sexual scenes, but there is a bit of violence, so just keep that in mind... and despite all that negativity, ENJOY!
War for Change by Colby101001

Humanity used to thrive in 2035 until a group of scientists started playing God. This science team was recruited by all the top world leaders and they've begun receiving demands for a super soldier, and they began experimenting on animals, which gave the scientists expected results, but like all experiments, there was a chance for failure. The humanoid animals, or Anthros for short, started getting smarter, faster than the scientists expected, or reacted. The Anthros broke free and took what was left of the 'White Mist,' the substance that created them, and put it into the planet's air supply. Long story short, most animals worldwide have begun transforming into Anthros, and started devastating the world's militaries before attacking cities. Humanity is now facing extinction with their last millions while the Anthro civilization is over 2 Billion strong and counting. The war between Humans and Anthros has lasted for over 50 years, and while humans may be disadvantaged against the Anthros higher strength, speed, endurance, and intelligence, they still beat Anthros with improvisation, adaptability, and tactics. The war has destroyed all four Eastern continents, leaving behind a creature both Humans and Anthros call Reapers, who are husks of the person they were. The Anthros have near complete control over North America and are fighting Humanity in South America, but the main human bases are located on the Hawaiian islands. With death seeming inevitable for human kind, can nothing stop humanity from extinction? Zero has just graduated from high school with good marks and a scholarship. His family wanted to celebrate, so they said they would wait for him. He went back to grab his wallet, and as he turned around, he started falling in a wormhole, closing afterwards. (This is my first story, and the art seen does not belong to me.) (Book 1 of War series)

3 Days Earth-based SF Thriller For struggling filmmaker Andie McKenna, life could be better. Her fledgling film company is about to go under, she's seventy-two hours away from being kicked out of her rent-by-the-week shoe box of an apartment in the dodgiest part of San Francisco, and her marriage is on the rocks. And if things couldn't get worse, she receives a cryptic telegram from the Mexican orphanage where she grew up: "Come quick, your father is dying." Interesting, since she's an orphan. Andie rushes to the orphanage to find Father Pakal Ramirez, the priest who raised her alive and well. He's going into the jungle after a lethal parasite, and he wants to see her in case he doesn't return. When Andie is accidentally exposed to the parasite, Pakal draws her blood and gives her an anti-parasitic. She reacts to the medication and passes out. When she wakes, Pakal is gone. Furious beyond words and poorer for it, Andie returns to San Francisco to find the Bay Area plunged into chaos. Something fell from the sky and crashed north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Something not made by humans. And then there's a frozen, long-forgotten vial of blood, locked in a metal box and buried in the orphanage's freezer. Blood that will impact Andie's life irrevocably and shatter the illusion that we are alone in the universe.
