Feral monsters were thought to be eradicated centuries ago, however over the last 100 years there has been a resurgence, thus much of the military force of every nation on the planet is now tasked with fighting those monsters, gathering data on them and keep their numbers in check, until the truth behind their return is uncovered.
Various divisions of the CIVILIS Corps, one of the Three Armies of the Heraclean Union dedicated to the protection and the aid of the people, have been sent all across the member nations due to an abnormal spike in monster sighting and resulting damage to many properties.
One in particular, led by General Sheryu, finds something even odder, an unconscious man in the middle of a small woodland, wearing the blue and silver uniform of the PSYCHEN Corps, another one of the Three Armies that deals with the Intelligence and analysis of data gathered by either the CIVILIS or researchers who are escorted by CIVILIS forces.
The recon team that found the man take him back to the outpost that they have been using (and restructuring) since their division got there, oblivious to the fact that now the status quo was going to change... forever.

AshBorn
ASHBORN The world ended in fire, and the ashes learned to breathe. Two centuries after the Cataclysm, humanity hides inside fortress-cities called Wards, surrounded by wastelands where storms twist flesh and memory into monsters. Those who step outside rarely come back. Those who do aren't quite human anymore. Kael Thorne is one of them. Once a soldier, now a Reclaimer-a man cursed to survive the very storm that killed his wife. His veins glow with crimson light, his memories fading with every battle. When he finds a fragment of her voice echoing from the ruins, he ventures into the Ashlands to find the truth-or die trying. With him travels a crew of broken souls: a sniper who lost her faith, an engineer haunted by the machines he builds, and a girl born of the storm itself. Together they cross cities turned to glass and rivers that burn black, hunted by the zealots of a scientist-turned-goddess whose experiments shattered the world. At the heart of the storm lies the Crown of Ash, where the final war waits-a battle between memory and evolution, love and oblivion. Kael must choose whether to save the world that destroyed him... or become the god who remakes it. Ashborn is a dark action-adventure of survival, identity, and rebirth-where every fight burns away a little more of the soul, and even monsters remember what it means to be human

One by one, the DarkStars reveal their monstrous true natures, slaughtering humanity in ever more horrific and unstoppable waves. Caught in the path of these resurrected nightmares, the last fragments of civilization collapse, devoured by beings beyond all mortal understanding - gods who have remembered what it means to destroy, and who have no intention of being forgotten again.Complete
Avarice Blacksteel Book 2
Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.Complete
The Enigma Protocol: No Brother of Mine (Book 1)
Two estranged brothers. One ancient secret. And nowhere to run, not from Enigma, and not from each other. But history won't hand you the truth. You'll have to piece it together yourself. Ask questions. The story might answer back. *** Teorin is close to uncovering the truth behind his father's disappearance, until a stolen drive puts him in the crosshairs of the one person he can't outrun: the brother who left him behind. Marcus walked away to protect his family. Now an old ally drags him back into his brother's orbit, forcing a choice: expose the truth, seek revenge, or protect the brother he thought he'd already lost. In a world scarred by solar storms, power isn't just political, it's biological. People are born with affinities-heat, memory, pressure, time-and someone in the shadows is erasing anyone who digs too deep. 📖 Told through prose, in world documents, and comment threads (yes, the actual comments). Each voice carries its own style, from clipped restraint to dramatic flair. The Enigma Protocol isn't just a story; it's a reconstruction. You'll have to decide where the truth lies. A slow-burn science-fantasy epic for fans of The Expanse, Mistborn, and Annihilation-where found family and fractured loyalties collide with ancient mysteries. 💬 Take part if you want. Ask. Dig. Connect the dots. The story gives as much as you do. ⚠️ Warning: Characters may break containment (yes, they might reply to you). Meet your host on the "Welcome Page"-an optional in-universe introduction. Also available on Royal Road.
