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."

The Hollowing by MartinNeue

The dead have never been so alive. After a deadly contagion reduced the world's population into mindless, undead monsters, the ruins of America still teem with activity, as some of the dead have regained their intelligence and created their own society; one free from the living's touch. Now, more than a decade later, survivalist extraordinaire Liam Fenix undertakes a harrowing escape from the uninhabited island that has been his prison since before the outbreak began, only to discover that he is the sole survivor of the civilization he left behind. He is not alone, however, as reincarnated bounty hunter Leah believes that Liam holds the key to reversing the pandemic that created her race. Armed with their survivalist expertise and following traces of the past, the two must traverse the wastelands together and bring back life to an otherwise dead world, even as they are pursued by a tyrant who does not want this plague to end. ------- Top tags to date: #1 in Gritty 12/21/2022 - 1/11/2023 ------- New chapters will be posted on Mondays, 4:00-6:00PM EST.

Taken Captive by reyatutt

I wrote this when I was 16 give me a break. TAKEN SERIES: BOOK ONE TW: kidnapping, manipulation, toxic/abusive relationship, violence, death, grief, self-harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, sexual assault, non-consensual sexual content, alcoholism, stockholm syndrome, switching partners, etc. Do not read this story if you get triggered easily. If you decide to continue, that's your own choice. This story will portray a BDSM relationship, NOT counting the toxicity and genuine abuse that goes on throughout it. Do not comment anything unnecessarily judgmental, especially if you don't know what you're talking about. Thank you, enjoy. - - - - - "Don't ever do something like that again, or I will kill you, understood?

Follow Alexander "Alex" Ashton as he faces the new reality of the world. 2015, the world is suddenly and almost instantaneously ravaged by a killer plague that kills and reanimates. The virus is spread by bites, and only the fittest survive. Alex, and his three best friends must learn to survive on their own in the world. Will they last, or will they fall to the disease like the many have before them. This is NOT my first story, but I still have much to learn, any feedback will help. M rating due to language, violence, and possible scenes (always say it just in case something does happen). Enjoy! Next 'Book' (if you could call it that) is in the works.
