In the City of Athaliah, nothing is ever quite what it seems. The Frore, a humanoid species, have taken over what remains of the Earth after the Final War of the Western civilization. Nothing remains outside the walls of the city but evil and death.
Cassandra Wells lives with her father and brother at the outskirts of the City: in a large, but ugly caste called Terra, in the nasty city of Pauper. Cass does what she can to put dinner on the table, and with her mother dead, and her fat lump of a father working the factory line, it's not an easy task. However, Cass is determined that her brother, Samson, will have a much better life than she ever did. But soon, Cass' school will have the annual 'Cementum' of Terra Academy. Every boy and girl of sixteen will be tested and assigned to a new job and a new living compound. What will happen to her innocent little brother and beaten down father when she is gone? What will become of her?

Terra-a world scarred by endless disasters and the deadly infection known as Oripathy. In this fractured land, nations rise and fall beneath the weight of corruption, prejudice, and survival. Amid this grim reality, a sudden anomaly tears open the sky, sending three teenagers from another world into Terra. Yutaro and his sister Koyuki awaken deep within the frozen territories of Ursus, while their friend Drayton finds himself lost in the bustling city of Lungmen. Strangers to this harsh world, their arrival sets off a chain reaction that alters the future itself.

A Series of Shadows: Shadows of The Broken
In a world, devastated by war and chaos, society teeters on the brink of extinction. Nova Lane, a young girl with extraordinary abilities, becomes the key to humanity's survival - though not by choice. The institution, led by her cold and calculating father, Joseph Lane, exploits children with special powers to carry out horrific experiments. Nova's unique gift holds the potential to cure global infertility, but the cost is for free freedom - and possibly her life. Jaxen, a guard at the institution, who is secretly in love with Nova, rustles with his complicity in the cruel regime. Together, they begin to uncover the truth behind the destruction of civilization, their captor's dark, secrets, and nova's true power. As Jaxen risks, everything to protect Nova and free the other captive children, their bond deepen, but so does the danger. Torn between duty, love, and rebellion, Nova and Jaxen must navigate, treacherous, terrain, from their hidden emotions to the powerful forces controlling the world. As explosions rock, the outside in the institution tightened scripts, the pair joint forces with unlikely allies, and the desperate fight to escape the whore and reclaim their future. But Nova's father has plans of his own, and she soon realizes that not only is her mother alive, but her own blood may be the key to controlling - or destroying - what's left of the world. And shadows of the broken, love and survival intertwine, but when betrayal runs deep, can they truly escape the shadows that find them?Terminé
After Dark
In a society with no boundaries for hate, and endless restrictions for love, how is one to survive? Terrance Damon has endured the suffering of being gay in a world where public executions by citizens are necessary for being so, his entire life, and for most of it he knows how to work his way around and keep himself hidden. However, his willpower to exist this way runs short once on the brink of being outed and on the brink of love for another man. (This story is based off a dream of mine only a few years into the future where for some reason, being with the same sex is punishable by death, and there's a group called the, "E.O.H." (Extinction Of Homosexuals) Hellbent on enforcing that. Although this story is clearly fictional I will be including remarks and events that have happened to me or those close to me. I want to do everything in my power to prevent a story like this from coming true, because there are people suffering alike this. So please, take this story as a message of love, dearest readers.) (WARNING: THIS STORY CONTAINS EXTREME CASES OF HOMOPHOBIA/TRANSPHOBIA AND SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS, ALONG WITH INSTANCES OF MURDER, RAPE, AND DISEASE.

Terra's Primal War's [Arknights x OC's]
The world of Terra has long endured its suffering-wars unending, nations fractured, and the slow, merciless advance of Oripathy. For centuries, mankind has struggled merely to survive, clutching to what little stability remained amidst calamity. Yet, in the waning years, the Ursus Empire sought to transcend limitation. A council of scientists unveiled an experimental machine-the Particle Accelerator. Its purpose was veiled in equal parts ambition and desperation: to harness a boundless new source of energy, or perhaps to forge a weapon that could alter the balance of power across Terra. But their gamble tore a wound in the very fabric of reality. Through the rift they opened, another world was revealed-strange, vast, and untamed. At first, awe overcame fear. Explorers dreamed of conquest, of knowledge, of advancement beyond measure. Then came the shadows. Not men, nor beasts familiar to our lands, but creatures innumerable. From the abyss poured teeth and talons without end, a tide of hunger and violence. The scholars of Ursus were the first to witness it, and the first to perish. Thus marks the most recent tragedy in Terra's already blood-soaked history. The portal remains a scar upon our world... and a reminder that some doors, once opened, should never be touched again.
Human Untouched

Finishing her transformation, Terra grows wings and demands to fight. As her legend grows, the other Rebels start calling her "The Angel of Death." But Terra comes to learn that both sides of the war are using her in a greater game, and though she despises the State, Terra is determined to survive.

Akropolis
"Any thought you ever had; memories, desires, your fears and your dreams, are all recorded and stored safely in the Quantum Cloud for your eventual revival. Death is now merely a transitional period to the next stage of your existence. As a QUBIT (quantum processing biosynthetic), you will experience a life free of disease and suffering. Time is no longer your enemy. Regret is a thing of the past. Each new day brings the promise of endless possibilities, spent in the pursuit of your own happiness, guiltless with the knowledge that there are no longer earthly constraints to inhibit you. This is the life you have always wanted. Welcome to your new beginning..." Akropolis is a city at the end of times, a sanctuary where the brightest and best have been housed since the last Great War. A genome defect has afflicted the majority of the population and scientists are desperate to find a cure. In the meantime, man has found his own salvation in the form of the QUBIT (quantum processing bio-synthetic), an android that is capable of prolonging life almost indefinitely, and yet what makes them human in the first place has been lost in the transition. The ruling council believes that salvation is nigh, but whether that hope arrives in time is questionable. The city's future depends upon the actions of a few individuals, all of whom are struggling with their own mortality. Quentin is the boy who dreams of death. Mia is the tortured soul. Trey is the soldier that defines duty. Misao is the future of the ruling council. Claire is the girl with a secret that will rock the foundations of their entire civilization. Unbeknownst to them, the entire fate of Akropolis lies in their hands. Either humanity will find a way to survive or it will sink slowly into the sea of extinction.Terminé

System's of Suffering
In a future where one family holds dominion over an entire system of planets, the Soladrens live in opulence beyond imagination. But their wealth and power have bred complacency, corruption, and a dangerous detachment from the people they rule. Beneath their glittering empire, rebellion simmers in the slums of industrial worlds, fueled by anger and despair. Cressida Soladren, the calculating matriarch of the dynasty, knows the family's decay cannot be ignored-not if they wish to maintain control. Desperate for a solution, Cressida turns to an ancient philosophy: suffering as a crucible for strength. She devises a daring experiment-a "swap" to force understanding between the ruling elite and the oppressed. Lyra Soladren, her rebellious and entitled daughter, is sent to live among the Grounders, the lowest rung of society, to experience their struggles firsthand. In exchange, Dax Marent, a charismatic and ruthless rebel leader, is brought into the Soladren fold, offered the education and resources of the family he seeks to destroy. As Lyra battles to survive in a world where her family name is a curse, she discovers unexpected humanity and strength in the people she once scorned. Meanwhile, Dax navigates the decadent halls of the Soladrens' moon palace, using his newfound access to learn their weaknesses. But as rebellion ignites across the system, both Lyra and Dax find themselves questioning their roles. Can they dismantle the systems of suffering from within, or will they be consumed by the very power they seek to challenge?Terminé
