The world fell apart the day the signal went dark.
For five years, Elias believed he was fighting the last war. He survived the collapse, the famine, and the gangs, all to protect the one secret that could restart civilization-or destroy it forever.
But when a coded message broadcasts across the static, a message bearing the voice of the woman he thought he'd lost, he realizes the last five years were just a prologue.
The real enemy is still out there, and the stakes are higher than he ever imagined. The end of the world was only the start of the fight.
The past is a graveyard, but the future is about to get bloody.

Death Stranding: Lone Survivor
The battle at the Commonwealth was supposed to be their final stand. The group fought with everything they had to survive-but in the chaos of the fight, 11 witnessed 17's death at the hands of 3. Or so he thought. In the confusion, 17's body was lost, and the group moved on, believing that the last trace of their new companion had been extinguished. But 17 didn't die that day. Left behind, barely clinging to life, 17 was forced to navigate a world that seemed to turn its back on him. The once-promising new chapter of survival quickly turned into a brutal test of his will to live. With no allies and nothing but his instincts, 17 starts a solitary journey that leads him down a darker path. The world he knew is changing. New dangers are emerging, and the dead have evolved. As 17 crosses the remnants of old cities, abandoned roads, and decaying towns, he uncovers hints of an even greater threat looming on the horizon-something far worse than the creatures that haunt every step. He is forced to rely on his resourcefulness and determination to survive, but survival alone isn't enough. In a land where trust is a rare commodity, 17 meets new people along the way. Some are friends; some are foes. All have their own secrets. And as the truth of what happened to him during those lost days at the Commonwealth comes to light, 17 must make a choice: continue fighting alone, or join forces with others to face the new horrors that threaten to destroy what's left of the world. In this spinoff of Death Stranding, Lone Survivor takes you deeper into a post-apocalyptic world where survival is more than just living-it's about finding meaning in a life when everything else has crumbled. 17's journey will test his courage, his humanity, and his desire for vengeance. But no matter what, he must face the truth: in a world where everything is lost, there may be nothing left but the dead.Complete
ALL THAT FOLLOWS - A Zombie Story
The end came quietly. Survival didn't. Seth walks alone now - through ruins and silence, through the bones of a world that forgot how to live. The dead outnumber the living, and the ones who've survived have learned to be colder than winter steel. But no matter how far he goes, memory follows. Of who he was, of everything he lost. Of the faces that haunt his sleep and the blood that never quite washed off. In a world that punishes kindness and buries the weak, Seth isn't searching for hope. He's just trying not to fall apart. But sometimes, the road doesn't care what you want. Sometimes, it gives you someone to protect - whether you're ready or not. Because even a broken man has one last fight left in him. ___ Note : All That Follows is a sequel to All That Remains. It carries echoes, secrets, and scars from what came before. While it can be read on its own, within these pages lie spoilers, fragments of a past some readers may wish to discover firsthand. Step forward as you will, but know the ghosts are watching.Complete

I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees.

Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.Complete

Then they forgot who was crossing it. Seventeen years ago, a classified neural experiment known as Project VINCULA sought to fuse human consciousness with quantum cognition - to let thoughts reshape reality itself. It failed. Or so the world believed. Now, after a decade of silence, bestselling author Reet Avasthi sits in a quiet café, writing her latest apocalypse novel. When the world outside suddenly mirrors her pages, fiction begins to bleed into truth. Rescued by an international boy band - Neon Axiom - Reet and the group are thrust into a collapsing world filled with the dead and the written. As they struggle to survive, the lines between creation and creator blur, revealing that Reet is not just a survivor... but the last fragment of an experiment the government erased. Haunted by her own words, hunted by a scientist who can rewrite the world against her, Reet must finish the story before reality edits itself out of existence. Because every sentence she writes - or deletes - decides who lives, and who doesn't. If you like 'WORLD WAR Z' and 'Stranger things', then this ride is for you. --- Every word has a pulse. Every story has a cost. Each word she writes reshapes the world.. And the line between author and god begins to blur.

Silent Partner
My world is four walls and a firewall. The name's Elias Vance. I hunt monsters, the kind in three-piece suits who break lives with keystrokes. I do it all from the one place I'm safe: my apartment. I don't do partners. I don't do outside. Not since my family was taken from me. Then he blew my door off its hinges. He calls himself Leo. A thief, all sharp grins and sharper reflexes, bleeding out on my pristine floor. He shoved a data-key into my hand, babbling about a shadowy syndicate called Janus and a hit on his life. He said he was sorry. He said they were coming for me, too. I didn't believe him. Until the professional cleaners showed up and turned my safe house into a warzone. Now, we're stuck with each other. The agoraphobic numbers-whisperer and the adrenaline-junkie thief. He thinks I'm a coward. I think he's a liability. But as we tear into Janus, we find something worse than stolen art or laundered cash. We find a project named "Chimera." And a chilling truth: the tragedy that broke me and the murder that forged him weren't accidents. They were acquisitions. They thought they were hunting us. They were wrong. We're the ghosts they created, and we're coming for our revenge. Even if trusting each other is the most dangerous heist of all. Two broken men. One shared enemy. No way out.Complete![It hurts....the emptiness [reborn as Rebekah Mikealson]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/386743543-256-k568992.jpg)
