荒原始生
"When Chu Xiang woke up, he realized the world had already entered the apocalypse... The T-virus ravaged the entire world in a short time. Only 10% of the 7 billion people had immunity, and over 300 million died due to the chaos caused by the virus. On Earth's 5.1 million square kilometers, only 400 million humans survived, alongside countless zombies and mutated creatures infected by the virus. Whether on land, sea, or air, they relentlessly hunt the remaining human survivors... In the face of danger and hunger, the so-called school beauties, police flowers, spicy girls, or rich girls are nothing more than men's accessories. "Survival of the fittest" rules the day! A female celebrity? Would you trade a box of pure, uncontaminated bottled water for it? A virgin girl? Will you dance for a packet of biscuits? A wealthy young lady? Sorry, in a world where even ants can kill, running isn't an option - only elimination awaits... The food crisis forces the surviving humans to reclaim land and plant crops for self-sufficiency. The once bright-lit squares are now overgrown with crops, and the buildings that once bustled with crowds have turned into pigsties. Gone are the hustle and bustle, the pollution, the 9-to-5 routine, and Sundays off. When there's free time, you can search the ruins for valuable treasures, and when bored, you can have heart-to-heart conversations with your old girlfriends..."
Not Like You (The Simian Forest Saga: Vol. I)
"The rain grew colder, the canopy enamoured and blushing even deeper shades of auburn and gold. The tension was growing and the entirety of the large ape colony knew that it would snap at a moment's notice. They were all waiting-- waiting for something to crumble." Greed, tyranny, bloodlust, betrayal. Mankind has done nothing more than pollute and poison what is rightfully ours. After an entire reset of the food chain, man has all but disappeared, all thanks to a human-made virus called the Simian Flu. Apes around the globe, in turn, have become advanced both cognitively and externally, adapting their own form of sign language, as well as learning to speak. The year is 2029. Krissa may very well be the only survivor. Will she manage to weather the trials and tribulations that come with living deep within the Oasis? Proud winner of the Trident AwardsComplete

F*** Cancer, This One Did Us All In.
There's not a lot that can freak me out in this world. Only large animals with sharp claws, too many people touching me, bullies, hives, horror movies, sitting underneath fans or lights or anything that dangles from a ceiling, glass or wooden bridges, my mother, mosquitoes, public situations, taking a shower with nobody in the house, taking a shower with too many people in the house and crocks. Oh, and zombies. Zombies is definitely on that list. It's almost a shame too, that I have to race through a city packed full of them to find my missing family. Packed full of zombies, by the way, not crocks. (Although I don't know which situation is worse.) Now I have to not only keep my feeble body alive, but also protect (or be protected by) my two best friends in the entire world as we all try to survive in a city packed with the Dead.Complete
The Devourer (A Highschool DxD Fanfic)
With the impossible size of the universe, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that there is life beyond just humans out there. Countless things have lived and died yet one stands above the rest due to the sheer amount of time it has lived. Almost since the beginning of the universe itself has it existed; a biological monster that would destroy and consume anything in its path. Planets, asteroids, entire stars even; whatever got in this things way wouldn't stay in the way for very long. It was a repetitive existence until one day the abomination met its match in the form of an absolutely enormous star. It ended with a draw that sent the abomination rocketing off in a random direction away from the place it had been consuming for so long. It traveled for millions upon millions of years before finally coming to a stop just outside of some odd new planet brimming with life. Along the way through space, it gained awareness of its surroundings so it was now able to choose what to do with this odd planet. Consume or Explore . . . What a future this will be -------------- (Don't expect realism lol, this is an anime fanfic) {Chapters lengths are gonna be all over the place so Idk lets say at least 2k words min} {Lemons, Descriptive Gore}- {Watch out for warnings if you don't want to see that kinda stuff}Complete
