Maria has faced bad stuff.
Maria has fought myths and monsters.
Maria knows the world sucks.
But Maria has never started the zombie apocalypse and had to fight it.
When Maria goes to explore the blank area on her map and finds a gate, she opens it. A group of deformed humans are able to break out from the enclosure thanks to this mishap and Maria is forced to run.
The creatures are known as the Virī Mortis, the Men Of Death. They are reduced to the animal-like tendencies of hunting for food and shelter, incapable of higher thought. They attack other humans to turn them into other Virī Mortis.
Maria, hidden in the cliffs, has found a secret building known as The Keep. Slowly she amassed a crew of escapees like herself, fighters trying to kill the zombies.
The question is no longer if the crew of The Keep can fight the zombies. It's how long they can survive.
Warning: this book contains violence and the words that release the power of true emotion.

The Risks
*****THIS STORY IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING A MASSIVE REWRITE - FINAL WORK IS CURRENTLY BEING POSTED AS A NEW STORY ON MY PAGE - UPDATES SPORADIC ***** "You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: Most of the population is dead, some have turned into vicious, crazed creatures who want nothing more than to eat you, and a small percentage are left to try to survive. Nothing is the way it was. With not much more than a pistol and a vague idea of what she's doing, Claire Harrington ventures out into this new, unforgiving world with only one real goal: to keep her younger sister safe. The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.

The Last Survivors: Beginning of the apocalypse
Darkness has a way of creeping in when least expected. It does not announce itself with a whisper, nor does it wait for an invitation. It engulfs, devours, and tests the limits of those caught in its grasp. This is a story of survival-not just of the body, but of the mind, the spirit, and the unbreakable bonds that tether us to one another. When the world crumbles, when the familiar turns into the unknown, the question is not just how to endure-but who we become in the process. There are horrors lurking in the shadows, dangers waiting beyond every turn. But in the heart of it all, there is something even more powerful: the will to fight, to protect, and to defy the inevitable. This book is born from such a place-a world stitched together from whispers of dreams, echoes of forgotten tales, and the unshakable pull of curiosity. It is an invitation to step beyond the ordinary, to embrace the strange and the wondrous, and to find, perhaps, a reflection of yourself in the pages that follow. As you turn each page, let go of expectation. Surrender to the unknown. And most of all, enjoy the journey. Welcome to this story. Welcome to the adventure. Step forward, if you dare. The journey begins now
Death Road
In case you are wondering yes this is my second try at this story. Now the story takes place in Resident Evil's movie universe which I know some don't like,but give it a chance. Story will be in the point of views of Alice and Claire Redfield Plot: The story begins right after Alice saved Carlos and another survivor from being mauled to death by infected birds. Umbrella is always breathing down the neck Alice,but with a new crew perhaps she can overcome the odds. (Unlike last time where I tried staying with the movie plot I'm putting my own spin on this stuff.)Complete

When you are infected with the virus, there are four stages. 1) Your fever will shoot up and everything will become intensified on a maximum level. You'll lose grip on what's reality and what's illusion. 2) You'll start to slowly fall down the rabbit hole, forgetting the past and everything and everyone that you knew. 3) You face your imminent death. 4) You wake up with a pressing hunger for the living. It's been seven months since the pandemic hit with this virus and the world has been ravaged and left to ruins. Society has crumbled to nothing and more than three fourths of the population have been infected with the mysterious virus that took the world by storm. The virus has turned anyone infected into crazed flesh-eating freaks, with decrepit skin and red puffy eyes. The only way to kill them is by obliterating the brain. Elise Alice Gordon, Lease for short, led a simple life until the virus hit. Seven months later she is just barely scraping by. She's done what she's had to do to survive, and in that process she has created demons that haunt her every time she closes her eyes. See, it hasn't been easy trying to live in a dead world. She's lost friends, family, and everything she's ever known. The only thing she hasn't lost is her humanity and her hope. But she's afraid she's starting to.
