Against the Clock (Discontinued)
Sabre was able to come back to the RQ world after the events of the Loop reset, thanks to Origin wanting Sabre to live peacefully with his creations. It's been a few months since then, and Sabre has been going back to being roommates with Time again in the village, and helping the Leaders with decisions as a neutral party during meetings. His life is pretty normal, aside from the Professor borrowing him for experiments often. He's glad that he can finally just live in one world... However, a hidden being has other plans. Envious of Sabre's good fortune and fond memory, a Creator forgotten by time itself due to his past actions decides to infect Sabre with a deadly virus that only affects him, planning to kill him slowly. Once everyone finds out, it's a race against the clock to find a cure for Sabre's ailment, before he's taken by the sickness. As Sabre's health slowly declines, questions fill everyones minds. Will a cure be found for this strange virus? Or will Sabre's luck finally run out? (This story has been discontinued for personal reasons)Complete
Sanctuary
Sanctuary. That was what the quarantine dome was supposed to be, a place of refuge from the N-Gel and the deadly Neoplague they unleashed on the world. But we aren't safe here. Senna is uprooted from her rural life in the outer dome when her mother agrees to marry the President of Sanctuary. It was supposed to be a Cinderella story, but Senna can't stand the health and status obsessed city. Her only escape comes from repairing an antique piece of wireless tech, an endeavor that is seemingly hopeless due to the interference that reduced such tech useless after the invasion. Senna believes that if she can get the device to work, she can use it to contact the life she left behind. However, it isn't her old life she reaches when she gets the device to power on. Instead she catches the SOS of a little girl who claims to be held captive in the toxic world outside of the dome. The girl offers a reward for her rescue-the cure for the plague that forced humanity into quarantine and took Senna's father from her.

The Inevitable
It's been 8 months since a dangerous, mind-affecting, violent and sentient pathogen ravaged Earth and became a Wasteland with only 15% of the human population still intact and the remaining percentage had been either killed or infected. Now a strange force rises as the society now known as the "The Red Order" is now aware of the capabilities of the said pathogen, which may fear the incoming of what is known as "The Inevitable," as shown in the prophecy of the Red Order. A team of specialized forces from the Red Order embark on a journey to discover the Inevitable, hoping to develop a way to stop the prophecy. But as the day proceeds, the infected are learning much faster and are catching up. Will they proceed or will the prophecy be fulfilled? The Infection is caused by a strain of bacteria similar to that of Yersinia pestis. The infected are merciless, violent, sentient and somehow exhibit a sociopathic tendency. This story is inspired by the movie I am Legend, and the game Dying Light. But I added extra features to make it more of an original content. Rank: #2 BacteriaComplete![Reincarnated as A Serpent!

However, one night after walking home late from work, he finds himself caught up within a robbery of a bank - and when the police arrive and a shootout breaks out, he is caught in the crossfire - a bullet piercing his heart. Right there on the street, as he bleeds out, he thinks back on his life and those that he cared about, and as the last bit of life leaves him, he makes a dying wish that should miracles exist - for him to not be reborn. Unfortunately for him, fate has different plans and he is reborn into a different world - where magic and monsters are not an uncommon sight. And of course, most importantly of all, he is not reborn as a human or any humanoid creatures - but in fact... a Snake. Now, how will he live his new, unwanted reptilian life and sets out into the wide, wide unknown world - just wishing to get a chance to explore it. Currently also serialising on RoyalRoad.

Virulent
[ONC 2023 SECOND PLACE WINNER | AMBASSADORS PICK 2023] An unwilling but gifted geneticist must find a way to safeguard humanity against the deadly pathogen she's forced to design or die trying. *** The planet's population is pushing past 11 billion and counting. With resources spread thin, widespread famine, and health systems crippled everywhere, the governments of the world are running out of ideas. Then a scientist proposes a controversial solution and the classified Project Rescue is born. But when the lead scientist on the project and his entire team mysteriously die, his young microbiology prodigy is brought into the secret government agency to take over where he left off. Ezra Mayur always hoped that her brilliance in pathogen studies would land her a secure job one day. This seems like a dream come true. Full food rations and safety for her struggling family, and a job in the field she is the most interested in. But the project is not quite what Ezra expected and her moral compass is tested when she has to choose between protecting her family or the world. *** PROMPTS that will make an appearance: 12. An evil sorcerer offers you an immense amount of power--but it comes with a price. (Modified: an evil corp offers you an opportunity of a lifetime, but it comes with a price.) 5. Flip the coin and make a life choice with it. Two choices, one coin, and no turning back. Do you dare?

Hush (Venom Epidemic, #1)
The virus was first found in a test patient, a volunteer, mutating rapidly. The mutated virus didn't take long to turn him into a blood sucking monster. It started with a simple laboratory test. Vampires did not exist, right? Wrong. They are not the usual romance novel related, stunningly handsome Vampires. These are the new age Vampires and all they crave is blood ... human blood.
