Obsidian abyss by sieraQinn

In a world where the lines between life and death are blurred, a group of strangers finds themselves trapped in an eerie, haunting place that seems both alive and dead. With no memory of how they arrived or who brought them here, they must unravel a twisted puzzle that will determine their fate. As they awaken in their own graves, the tombstones bearing cryptic messages, it becomes clear: they are not ordinary people. But whether they are alive or dead remains a mystery they must solve. The lines between the living and the dead blur as they uncover the horrifying truth of their predicament: they are part of an intricate, deadly game where the rules are constantly shifting. Their memories-altered, fragmented-are pieces to a puzzle that must be solved before time runs out. But in this twisted world, time itself is a dangerous, unreliable force. The deeper they go, the more it becomes clear: escaping will not be enough. They must confront the monsters within themselves, face the darkness they carry, or risk being swallowed whole by the haunting world that surrounds them. The question is no longer just how to survive, but how to escape the twisted grip of their own minds. Will they ever find the truth, or will they forever be lost in the labyrinth of fear and illusion?

All That Remains by SamiCoops

It started with software. The kind that would ensure you live forever. A miracle microchip they install in your brain, promising eternal life. Only, instead of having extended lifespans, people died and their corpses clawed their way back out of the ground. But they weren't the same. Their humanity was gone and in its place was a ruthless instinct to kill. Jaelynn 'Jae' Moore lost everything during The Rise. Now, forced to tag along with a group that call themselves The Lost, she has had to do unspeakable things to stay alive. Elias Zhou is torn between his allegiance to his family and his disgust at The Pride's practices. When Jae crosses his path, his integrity will be tested and his loyalty pushed to its limits. As war brews between the survivors, and the number of the Risen multiplies, it's up to them to unite the remains of humanity. But, sometimes the monsters aren't the ones that should be feared and Jae and Elias will find out the hard way that you don't need to die to become a ruthless killer. You just need to be desperate enough. [Featured on @fright and @newlywrittenbooks] [Featured on @StoriesUndiscovered March2021] [Winner of the Writer's Recognition Awards 2021]
