A cliched B-list survival scenario: a zombie apocalypse. Just, a bit different. The zombies... stronger. The apocalypse... longer. And the heroes of the story?

According to Wikipedia, humans are terrestrial animals, characterized by their open-ended and complex language use compared to other animal communications and highly advanced and organized societies, among other things. Humanity has engaged in rhetoric and mythos for as long as it has existed. In fact, some of the ancient stories still remain, the Epic of Gilgamesh being an example commonly brought up. But what if the mythology of humanity was more than just that? What if a large portion of it was actually grounded in reality?
Take a zombie apocalypse, for instance. Originating from Haitian folklore, the zombie made its way into pop mythos. We all know that they aren't real; even the US government uses them in exercises to make the situation fictional.
But what if these zombies were real?

ISF - Dark warriors of time
A bloodbath which could lead to a war. A sickening murder in a world separated into six nations whose relations are more than just strained. Countries controlled by greedy dictators, ready to walk over dead bodies to gain more power. And their people who had been shaped by propaganda, not being able to see that their leaders were just as sick as their enemies. All it had taken was one village being brutally eliminated to make the dictators snap under the tension and therefore hold the fate of billions in their hands. Had the motives for this murder been bigger than the war which hung over the nations like a menacing cloud? And if yes, who had carried the deed out?

Persephone Incarnate [Wattpad Prize 2014] | ✔️
[COMPLETED - ONLY MINORLY EDITED] ******************************************************** Greek myths - true or false? They should be false, and to 16-year-old Sophie Claire, it's never crossed her mind that they aren't. Until one day in History class when her teacher spends a day on Greek mythology and something strange starts happening - her friends and classmates begin to tell myths about certain Greek deities with frightening precision. And for some reason, she's began to feel a certain affinity for Persephone, the Greek maiden who was kidnapped by Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, and forced into a marriage with him. This isn't some coincidence or freak dream, she later finds out from a host of strange individuals who claim they're from Olympus, the grandoise home of the gods themselves. She is actually a modern reincarnation of the goddess Persephone, and she's not the only one. A few of her classmates also happen to represent the gods and goddesses from popular Greek myths, and the fact that all of them are present means that something monumental is about to happen. Something like being the girl to change Persephone's future, to break the cycle of kidnapper and victim - all by passing a trial. It won't be simple, she knows, and she's not quite that eager to take it up, but from the moment she found out that she was Persephone, there was no way to back out. She should've known, however, that dealing with all powerful, immortal deities wasn't going to be easy. They've got a few secrets and personality flaws up their sleeves, and they could be deadly. More than deadly - murderous.Complete

When Stories Wake Up
Are you a writer? Do you ever feel guilty... when your characters suffer? When you break them, just to make the story better? You say, "It's just fiction." But what if... it's not? What if your story started feeling the same way? What if the characters you shaped with your words began to remember everything, every heartbreak, every betrayal, every death you wrote for them? And what if they wanted more than just a chapter? So tell me... If the story becomes real... If the characters you once controlled begin to take the pen from your hands... If the story starts writing you... just the way you wrote them... With all the pain, the heartbreak, the twists you never saw coming... What do you think your ending will be?
Hades and Persephone
Persephone has already been kidnapped by Hades, her unwanted and unexpected suitor. Demeter has already cast a famine on all the humans in her grief. Hades struggles to win Persephone over...but perhaps Persephone has always been meant to be with him, and she wasn't an innocent as she was thought she was... Moderate explicit parts. *not finished* "Look, Persephone, you're a reasonable Goddess, more reasonable than most. You have to understand I was not born the Lord of the Underworld. The title was appointed to me because I was the unlucky one. My job is just as important as my brother's jobs. I wasn't selected because of my cruel ways but now because of the way people speak of me and fear me now I am the cruel one whether or not I like it. Do you honesty think it is fair that it should work that way? People take one look at me and assume I'm the devil." Persephone crouches back in her seat. I realize I am standing and seat myself, trying to calm myself. "Do you honestly think that being in charge of the dead and judging them makes me undeserving of love, of a wife? I'm doomed to be exiled down here. I don't even have the sun to keep me warm, Persephone. You're all the sun I have..." *This story is also not meant to be factually accurate, and is simply an interpretation of the story.Complete
Anoxia
Xylia has always teetered between madness and prophecy. For years she's dreamed events before they happen a gift that's left her paranoid, unstable, alone. In a world where consciousness is a bug and gods are algorithms with ego problems, Xylia will learn that reality isn't meant to be understood. It's meant to be rewritten. Here, divination is a sentence. And knowing the truth... is the first step to losing yourself. ✒️✦ This isn't a book. It's a gradual collapse. You won't find maps. You'll find glitches. Not heroes. Fractures. Not worldbuilding. But worlds that come apart while you watch. Xylia is a contaminated consciousness. She overthinks. She mis-feels. She fixates on details no one else sees. That doesn't make her wrong. It makes her real. If you feel lost, good. If you feel unsettled, stay. In this world, coherence is a lie. And breath... is something you learn only when it's gone. Welcome to Anoxia. The first 5 chapters in English are now up! Next batch (chapters 6-10) coming this Friday. This is an ongoing self-translation project - raw, glitchy, and deeply personal. Thanks for reading, bleeding, and glitching with me. 🖤 I'm Italian and I'm translating my novel myself-so if you spot errors or phrases that could be smoother in English, please tell me. You'd be helping me immensely! 👁️ Read Anossia and tell me what crosses your mind. Your comments are the heart of this project.
King of the Gods: The Titanomachy
Imagine this: You're just a college student, buried in mythology textbooks and caffeine, dreaming of becoming a world-class expert on ancient gods and forgotten legends. That was my life-simple, grounded, normal. Then I died. No warning, no grand exit. Just darkness. Game over. Or so I thought. Because next thing I know, I'm standing before her-Veritas. A cosmic being with eyes like galaxies and a voice that shakes the soul. She didn't ask. She didn't explain. She just chose me... and sent me back as Hades. Yes, that Hades-the Greek god of the Underworld. You'd think my mythology degree would give me an advantage. Spoiler: it didn't. The myths? Twisted. The stories? Half-true at best. And the gods? They're nothing like the sanitized tales we tell. They're ancient, powerful, and terrifyingly real. Now I'm a mortal soul trapped in a divine body, caught in a web of politics, monsters, forgotten laws, and secrets older than time. No guidebook. No second chances. Just me, trying to survive in a world where every mistake could spark a war. Think you know the gods? Trust me-you don't. Open the book. Step into my shadow. And see what it really means to be a god.Complete
Avarice Blacksteel Book 2
Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.Complete
Beyond Infinity: The Convergence
The earth has been ravaged by war, and all that is left of humanity is on an iron island out in the middle of the Atlantic ocean.

Unfortunately for them, they seemed to have incurred the wrath of actual gods, nightmares, and monsters. And so, they have been forced to flee their 'heaven' for greener pastures, but before then, they'll have to pass through hell. Monsters, demons, nightmares and gods are only supposed to exist in the world of imagination, and that's exactly where they came from. And it just so happens that to survive, they'll have to enter the human mind, they'll have to invade the world of imagination, but what horrors must await them in such a place, depraved of reason and logic, perverted by man's desires and sick mind.Complete
