After so many battles through history and many more to come, the world will never unite. Some countries will resist and rule the top; some will collapse and find shelters underneath the surface. For sure, only those who will survive are those who will live in the shadows. Some countries decided to change the world by creating the biggest alliance ever known to face the most influential nations all at once. Thus they decided to change the world for good.

2021 (DISCONTINUED) by -The_God_Of_Simpery-

COVID-19 has killed almost all of earth's population, but the dead don't stay that way...they turn into Mutants. The bloodthirsty creatures have tore apart everything that's left. When two lone survivors meet The Team, a strange group that claim to know where a cure is, they decide to pair up. They take on starvation, heartbreak, disagreements, and Mutants to bring back civilization to the way it was. A/N: I understand Coronavirus is a touchy subject right now, and I am taking it seriously. I'm not a psychic or priest predicting the future on this. I'm only dramatizing a current event for a good read. I do not own any of the art/videos shown. All story themes and ideas are mine. ❗CONTENT WARNING ❗: This story contains scenes of violence, gore, and cannibalism. (Cover made by me)

The Dawn of the Dead by TDK_Javier

The world comes to a conclusion as the effect of zombies.. who invade this Earth unexpectedly. People are trying hard to survive these new species as they don't know their intentions.. some believe it's a flu or a virus... some believe God has stopped believing on this Earth. But the true reason is.. there isn't a reason. The only thing I can say is.. "Survive".

Defcon 1 by Mihai_alex_04

Humans adapted to their failure. People struggled to survive, fought, and killed each other for a bit of fresh water. The government failed and left the US in chaos. Humans failed and left the world in chaos. An ex-military male named Varryance Preez was imprisoned as a living test subject by the remaining government trying to find a somewhat vaccine or a cure for the two man-made plagues that eradicated humanity. This man, however, is different. He kept refusing to die no matter how hard the parasite tried, no matter how hard the government tried. A terrorist, a mercenary having the same fate however found him imprisoned in the facility hidden in the mountains and looked at him deep in the eyes before he broke the container that the patient was in. Doing so was not a part of his task. Since that day, seeing how his world turned into chaos escaping the facility, and seeing the people suffering, he got filled with duties. Duties that made the government show its true colors and intentions. ((READ IMPORTANT BEFORE CONTINUING!!))

𝖋𝖑𝖆𝖗𝖊𝖘 by ripv4nwinkle

What happens when the world stops turning the way it should? When the streets of a city once filled with life become hunting grounds for the dead? When the last echoes of civilization are drowned in the screams of the desperate, the selfish, the cruel? The government promised order. The military promised safety. Both crumbled under the weight of their own lies. The infection was only the beginning. The real horror came after. How far will a man go to keep his humanity when starvation gnaws at his ribs and the dead claw at his door? When the strong prey on the weak and power belongs to the ruthless, who decides who gets to live - and who is left behind? Is there still room for kindness in a world where mercy is a death sentence? In the ruins of civilization, the lines between savior and monster blur. Everyone has a breaking point.

(This story is dedicated to everyone who has ever felt different or misunderstood. We are all equal♡)

THE MAIN EVENT | Book 1 by rainixfreak

It's been exactly a hundred years since a nuclear explosion destroyed the entire earth, making it unable to live on it as the radiation would spread and rise quickly, becoming deadly minute by minute, killing half the lives on earth. Some of us got to survive with the help of the government which built an entire city that would protect everyone from the virus that appeared right after the radiation went away. The city was like a fortress, no one could enter and no one could leave...except the people executed who defied the government rules. But who thought that...together they might witness the end of their world?

Infected by Silverwave8023

It wasn't bad enough that Ben was homeless. Having a dead family nearly killed him before. Until he learned to live alone on the docks and streets, scavenging for food and supplies just to stay alive. He was actually doing well. Then, he saw the bodies washed up on the beach. All were dead except for one: a young boy like him. As they were meeting, they saw the other dead bodies... walk. How was this possible? They were already dead... but now they're walking. And they're not who they were anymore. White-soulless eyes, weather beaten flesh, mindless flesh-eaters. They have to fight to survive, or they too will become the Infected. *WARNING: detailed content may not be suitable for children under the age of 15 for blood, gore, detail, and violence.

Anarchy on Earth by j623363

First, the video came. Just 2 months after is was taken off. The next day MeToob shut down. The day after that the internet stopped working. Then the power left. Then, came the virus. It infected everyone that came in bodily contact with it. Some of the ones who get it simply die off, but if you're unlucky enough to hold the infection... you become a heartless beast that will eat any flesh it comes into contact with. They will eat anything... even humans. Join Jack Smith, and his friends, as they try to escape the horrors of Union City, New Jersey and try to make it to the on Union Island before the last evacuation flight takes off. But as you may find that people become different in a crisis... And that could mean the difference between life and death.
