After Surviving The Apocalypse, I Built A City In Another World by Nispedana

[Congratulations, Terranian survivor #99598, for activating the Universe Assistance System!] Althea, along with the remaining 1% of the population of their home planet, stared at the holographic screen in front of them in confusion. Their galaxy was apparently ending, and suddenly announcements from an alien system appeared in their heads, telling them they would be permanently transfered to another world. The survivors were all very depressed. First they were forced to survive in a zombie apocalypse, and now they had to survive a new world altogether? It just so happened that Althea was one of the few people who got the Lord Token, the ticket to controlling a territory---a supposed safe haven for her people. Althea looked at her very large stomach and sighed at an unknown future. Would she be able to build a good home for her children and fellowmen?

What Rough Beast by whatroughbeast

In the near-future, the earth has been rocked by repeated strikes from debris left by the tail of a passing comet. Civilization is collapsing. People are desperate. A leader, Adin, has emerged to care for countless millions of refugees through his NGO, The Kingdom. He is the hope for mankind. When an assassin shoots Adin in the head while he addresses the United Nations in New York, Adin's mentor, the contemplative Abbott Ben Keating, comes to his surgical bed at Mt. Sinai Hospital to witness not just Adin's miraculous recovery, but the genesis of a new being: the fusion of human mind with a powerful artificial intelligence (AI). What Rough Beast follows the rise to power of this cyborg savior. The story unfolds through the experiences of Ben, as he tries to deter his pupil from his increasingly Messianic and dictatorial path; and of a family in Boulder, Colorado, refugees themselves from the growing lawlessness, who clash with Adin's growing ambitions. This story isn't science fiction. It's prophecy.

Sons of Hatred by ArionRequiem_

In a world ravaged by a war between powers, a coalition of countries and billionaires has taken control of biotechnology and epigenetics, manipulating the fate of humanity at will. Leading a rebellion against these titans of power, an enigmatic leader vows to rid the world of inhumane experimentation. But his true intentions remain shrouded in mystery. An elite soldier and his team are sent on a mission into the heart of an abandoned complex, once a Coalition stronghold. In the depths of the complex, they encounter an entity, an artificial intelligence that holds disturbing secrets. This entity, more than a machine, reveals fragments of the past and possible visions of the future, raising a host of doubts: Is it a remnant of the ancient masters of the place, or a guide to an unknown truth? As they delve deeper into the labyrinth of metal and shadows, the team will face not only the dangers that inhabit the complex, but also the dilemmas that begin to break their will. The line between mission and manipulation blurs, and what awaits them at the end of this journey could change everything... or destroy it.

Days (oneshots) by 88planetdreamer

Random oneshots of little sections of the lives of different people living different lives and worlds/realities. Names mentioned here are all completely fictional. Some of these stories will be open-ended, so use your imagination on how it ends, or you can add on to them. A lot of the rituals and things that happen won't have much of an explanation (Sorry). They don't all end happily. That's all.

Beneath the Shadowlanders by ManderRitzert

We knew something wasn't right from the moment we awoke. It was like something was missing - a part of our very souls - and we couldn't sense the deficiency, no matter how hard we tried. A hundred million eyes adjusted to the dark all at once, all surprised to be awakened so soon. We ran through our checklists of limbs and senses, drawing ourselves out of our dreams piece by piece. Some went back to sleep, unaware, unbothered, too tired to notice the difference. Some lay in bed, too anxious to stand until the light of dawn crept through their windows at last, and they were sure the monsters in their closets had gone back to sleep. Some leapt from their slumbers, more keenly aware than others that the missing pieces were important. But we didn't know. We couldn't have. Not until we found ourselves standing in the light and discovered: We no longer had shadows.
