In the distant future, earth is on the brink of annihilation. The core is unstable and an explosion is imminent. The human race is forced to set out and explore the galaxy in search of inhabitable planets to preserve mankind.
On the outer rings of the universe, humans found a planet they called, Nibiru. Although Nibiru is a desert planet and almost completely barren, the atmospheric conditions were conducive to human life, advanced technology would make up for the lack of natural resources, and humans could live theoretically in peace.
When mankind arrived on Nibiru they were not greeted with open arms. The natives of the planet, called the La'anua met the humans with heavy resistance. The natives possessed incredible psionic and telepathic powers which made them very formidable against the advanced human technology. The humans however did manage to set up a society in the midst of all of the chaos. An incredibly technologically advanced city, surrounded by giant metal walls to protect them from attacks of all kinds. The city was named Eridu.
The war raged for well over 1,000 years. However, it was in this time period that some humans started gaining psionic and telepathic abilities that rivaled the La'anua people. Demonized as the "Zeta Strain Virus" by unaffected humans, this similarity to the La'anua prompted peace talks amongst the two waring peoples. The La'anua forces were tricked however, and destroyed in a fake armistice turned military coup by one of the human generals.
Our story takes place 17 years after the coup.
Orpheon is a teenager that has the Zeta Strain. His abilities are powerful for his age and he is afraid that he will get caught by the Eridian government. His brother, Tylus, is also coming of age and is showing signs of having the Zeta Strain.
Can they survive in a world that is so incredibly against them?

28 DECADES LATER
Title: 28 Decades Later Genre: Sci-Fi | Adventure | Romance Setting: 280 years after the zombie apocalypse Synopsis: Nearly three centuries after the world was shattered by the zombie outbreak, humanity has triumphed-but at a cost. With cutting-edge technology, global cooperation, and ruthless efficiency, the last of the undead were eradicated. But the origin of the virus remains a mystery. Fearing a second outbreak, strict population control and isolation protocols now define human survival. Nations no longer exist-only fortresses, each one self-governed, self-sustained, and wary of the world beyond their walls. Fortress Azul is the most advanced and secure of them all. For over a decade, it has thrived without trade, war, or need. Inside its walls lives Trevor Vale, the obedient son of Azul's iron-willed mayor. Groomed to one day inherit leadership, Trevor has never questioned the rules-until he meets Mia, a wild and resourceful girl from outside the fortress, a "gypsy" wanderer who knows the forgotten world better than any book or monitor ever could. When Mia is caught sneaking into Azul and Trevor secretly helps her escape punishment, he uncovers truths long buried-about the virus, the fortress, and the outside world. As their bond deepens, so does the danger. Mia's presence challenges everything Azul stands for, and Trevor must choose: stay within the walls of safety and control... or follow Mia into the uncertain wilds, where freedom comes with risk-and beauty hides in ruin. But something is stirring beyond the horizon. No zombie has been seen in decades... until now.
Cassiopea's School for the Gifted
In a world where magical creatures and humans intermix, there are two types of magic and two types of people. Dark magic and light magic. Good people and evil people. Our main character is going to learn that your powers do not define who you are as a person. Arion Griffin lives in a society where people with light magic are 'good' and people with dark magic are 'bad'. He comes from a long line of dark magic. Unfortunately, this causes many problems for his social life since his family's reputation precedes him and makes it so no one will talk with him. He is worried it will make his greatest fear come true. He is terrified he is on the path to becoming evil like his parents. Then, one day at school he gets an invitation from Cassiopeia's School for the Gifted. Sure he's heard of it, but only in rumors. The school is just for magical creatures to learn more about themselves and their history. It was made over three hundred years ago and still run by a fairy named Cassiopea and her daughter Cassia. Arion is excited to go because his parents refuse to teach him anything about other magical creatures other than dark magic. They believe it is irrelevant for him to know because they think he will take over the world one day. And why should a leader know anything about his subjects? Arion convinces his parents that if he goes to the school he can do recon on the other magical people so he can learn about them and make it easier for him to take over. With no friends, no siblings, and a very negative outlook on life, he heads to Cassiopeia's School for the Gifted. He makes friends and learns that just because he has dark magic, doesn't mean he is evil. *Idk if this is actually a good story but I had a lot of fun writing it! :) *This story has been editedComplete
