Sixteen hundred years ago, they fled Earth. Now their long journey may finally be at an end. None of them have ever walked on soil, felt rain, or breathed unrecycled air. 
Their resources nearly spent, they sent a last exploratory mission to a new planet. It's ideal... but they are not alone. 
In the struggle for survival, they must make a choice. Sacrifice another species or accept their own extinction. And time is running out.

The Crater's Fate by Firefrost_Creations1

To Survive, You Must Try I At the pinnacle of failure, beings of Terra find themselves without options. But there were many others. What they chose was nothing short of idiocy. One man casts from them any hope they could have had to survive. "They come and crawl, grovelling. I give nothing to those who wound me. Let them die out. Burdened by the weight of their actions. I am not like them, in every sense of the way." Note: A work with the framework of Subnautica. Fan additions also included. Not canon. Subnautica owned by Unknown Worlds Entertainment.

生存进化: 启示录 by Seraphinellaria

In a world where civilization has collapsed, monsters roam the earth, and trust is a rare commodity, one survivor holds the key to evolution." When [Main Character's Name] wakes up to a world ravaged by apocalyptic forces, he discovers an unexpected advantage: the ability to level up. With every battle fought, skill acquired, and danger conquered, he grows stronger in ways no other survivor can. But as his power increases, so does the attention from hostile forces, both human and inhuman. In this brutal world, every encounter is a test, every decision a choice between life and death. To survive, he must evolve - faster and more ruthlessly than anyone else. But when alliances shift and enemies multiply, he realizes that surviving the apocalypse means more than just leveling up - it means confronting the darkness within himself. Will he be humanity's last hope or its most dangerous threat? "Upgrade or die - this is the rule of the new world."

Once Again by DragonSwirl

"It's human nature. It's instinct to survive, no matter the cost." The world has fallen into desolation. The apocalypse has already started and finished, leaving some of the surviving ones with strange powers and mysterious scars. The world has ended, according to some, and is now in a state of rebirth. Others say it hasn't ended yet and that it's only going to get worse. The remaining people have grouped together in packs and gangs, raiding the desolate cities and avoiding the ones called the Destroyers, who capture and torture the remaining survivors. No one is safe. One fifteen year old boy knows this better than anyone. He and his older sister lived together, sticking to the dark alleys of their abandoned city, and survived for years after the apocalypse, until the Destroyers came and took her away, reigning terror on the few who remained in the city. The boy, desperate to find someone to help him save his sister, leaves the city and finds one of the youngest cooperative packs in North America, called the Raiders, comprised of unwanted individuals with the strange powers left from the destruction of years past. Their leader, a destructive insomniac, promises to help him in return for the skills and usefulness this young boy seems to possess, but something disrupting sends waves of unease through the Raiders, something about a forgotten past and talk of a mutiny. "Maybe there's more to life than just surviving." ... Rated C for Caution. Though it's rated mature, there is no bad language or vivid descriptions of sexual contact. It does have very strong themes. Please read the two important notices in the intro. Read at your own risk. Thanks.

In the last few centuries, humans have pushed themselves almost to the brink of extinction with wars, famine, and disease. But we have managed to survive and persevere despite everything that has happened. The year 2147 was a year of hope for us, with the arrival of the Golik, an alien race, who were kind and wanted nothing more than to help us. Alongside the Golik, we had five years of peace and prosperity with them, both races gaining knowledge from the other and building to create a wonderful relationship with the other. After five years of peace and prosperity, then the peace ran out and the invasion began.

But when that rain burns the skin off peoples bones and causes their flesh to dissolve, it's no longer looked at the same way. It's hard to run from the sky. It's always above you. It has the power to wipe out an entire world because it's not something that we can control. We cannot save ourselves from the rain, we are completely unprotected. Follow a group of teenagers as they travel through England, running from the rain above them. Relationships will be tested, love will be found and lives will be lost. Will you survive the rain?

Andromeda: The Last Descendants by 00BooksbyAugust00

Survival in space was our only option. The dying earth and its sickly inhabitants forced us to flee to the stars. My father, the commander of the elite group chosen to live amongst the stars, brought me along for the journey. And everything was going smoothly until I unexpectedly woke up on a new planet, one with an ethereal glow and an eerie resemblance to our old home as the commander of the military space force, my father tasked his men with exploring this new world. But what they discovered was far from welcoming. This new planet was already inhabited by terrifying creatures, and they were not happy with our presence. His men fought to survive against these beasts, I couldn't help but wonder why they were so hostile towards us. That's when one of them approached me, defying everything we had been warned about. Instead of attacking, it watched me pick flowers before later saving me from a fiery blast. Now it's my turn to save him. Please read the prologue in the beginning before going to Chapter 1. I know a lot of people skip Prologues, however, it has important information that will give you a better understanding of what's going on in other chapters. Feel free to comment and vote. Its makes my day better seeing you enjoy this book as much as I enjoy writing it. #1 Colony - 11/17 #1 Invading - 11/17 #1 Colonization- 12/29
