That the government of Pendulum is behind these malevolent events. 
They believe it is not over.

Echoes of the Fading Light by FreeingWish

In a world where the sun is fading, humanity's greatest source of life is on the verge of extinction. What begins as a mere flicker soon spirals into a relentless decline, leaving society dependent on photon generators to stave off the growing darkness. But even this artificial light isn't enough to protect everyone, and in the shadows, a deadly transformation is taking place. Two factions rise from the crumbling remnants of civilization: the Lightbearers, who fight to preserve the last traces of sunlight, and the Shadowforgers, who seek power in the dark. Amid this chaos, an unexpected bond begins to form between two unlikely survivors-a man caught between the factions and a mysterious woman with a secret that could change everything. As they navigate the fragile line between light and shadow, their connection deepens, but the dangers lurking in the dark threaten not only their lives but their hearts as well. Whispers of a forgotten force emerge-a mysterious energy that could either save what's left or destroy it all. In the struggle for survival, light and shadow collide-and so do the fates of two souls searching for hope in a dying world.

Escaping Astren by AwgawinFiresnap

Esternia is a land of cycle. Of balance and rebirth. Whether Human, Eunsi, or Demon, the three territories know this, ruled by the Cearte to forever uphold the thin line between life and death. Esternia and Astren. But Gavin was born a Dávoln: a race of two souls whose very existence spites the gods' wills. He should've been killed at birth, but now it is far too late, he and his Demon sentenced to eternal punishment at the Cearte's hands. Escape was pointless, the enemies' power spreading far beyond the confines of his dungeon cell. That is, until he meets Aoife, a girl with strange, purple fire that defies all rules of magik. She is ridiculous, naive even, but she is powerful: enough to get him out of there. Enough to challenge the very system the Cearte fight so hard to protect. And after all, it's not as though Demons are the only ones who can form deals.

Like the Dawn by LacheMooney

Tess begins her dream sailing peacefully along a pristine coastline; it's not long before a storm approaches, capsizing her. Normally the dream would end there, but this is a dream unlike any other. When she wakes up, she's still in her dream and discovers that here, her sign language has power. Back in reality, college-student Tess faces another storm; death, and the debris it leaves in its wake. Tess's Aunt Valentine, the woman who taught her ASL and practically raised her, is dying and treatment isn't working. On top of this, Tess is finishing her degree in English with hopes to make her mark on the world through her poetry. Oh yeah, and she's working in an art gallery for a family friend, Alice, preparing a new exhibit featuring the invisible beauty of trees. It's a hectic life to balance. And now, she keeps having the same dream in a living world. Every night she returns to find the world changed, whether its creatures of her subconscious she calls Tones or an oddly intuitive boy who claims to be her guide. Then there's the monster her Tones call Amiko who seems to want her dead. Tess is starting to think this could be a nightmare instead. As she dives further into the dream, she loses her grip on reality. She can do anything, conquer it all, but can she find a way to save her aunt?

He haunts her dreams and waking life, and staying away becomes harder than she could have ever imagined, risking her life, her humanity, and the people that she cares about. Not to mention the fate of the world. She's fighting for life. He's fighting for death. What does it take to live? What does it take to love?

Blood and Thunder by KyleWilliamUrban

You've just woken in the woods, away from everything you know. You're dazed and confused, unable to comprehend what's just happened. As you are coming to, images flash before your eyes of the last few days. Your parents were taken by the police, you were forced to run, to leave everything behind, to save yourself and your sister. But she isn't here. You panic and look around, you stop. You remember. She too was taken, you are alone. For now. This is what happened to Alexander, his life has just been turned upside down. The year is 2415, the world has both evolved and devolved. It isn't how people imagined. Flying cars, robots in every house, telekinetic pencils. No, they are only in comic books. Self driving cars. No robots in houses, but workhouses instead. Telekinetic pencils... that's possible, if you are gifted with the power of telekinesis. There are dark truths hidden behind closed doors, that only few know. Truths that if they got out, would bring the downfall of the government. A government that has been deceiving people for generations. But they haven't been as careful as they thought, because 100 years ago, one guy found out their secrets. 100 years ago, one guy started the rebellion that would bring about the end. From burning books, rewriting history and breaking human rights, this government will stop at nothing to make it seem that they are doing good. But people have had enough, the secret came out before. It's only a matter of time until it happens again. This time by a group of people that no one expected. Together they work to find out the truth, but things have gotten worse over the last century and this may not only bring around the downfall of the government. Armed only the powers they were born with, the group do everything they can to discover the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But many have tried and failed, do they really stand a chance? Alexander doesn't think so, but his main concern is finding his sister, Rosia.

the Zone of Silence by UniqueZebra03

A question came to me during a reset. A question that has started bleeding through my veins. A question I whisper over and over in my sleep. A question you think I am asking passively. But it stitches into me, coiling around my being. A question I keep asking because it doesn't make sense. All that is left of the world is a city. She is the only person left. She doesn't know what happened, where the people went, why there is no life. You are there. But who are you? What is she? What is she supposed to do when the world resets, and more and more of the city is demolished. She's running out of time. *Completed*
