The After Effects by NotTheMainCharacter

After it all happened, the Plague created what feels like a whole new world. Survivors created new lives for themselves and carried on with their lives. Me? I didn't get the chance to create a new life. Thanks to my absolutely wonderful father figure, I was forced to become an entirely different person. Thankfully I was able to escape his peachy influence and take some control of my new life. What I don't know is the Plague brought on after effects. Everything changed eleven years ago and only a few knew what actually happened after billions of people died. That all changes one-day though and I found my life completely flipped upside down. Cheers to The After Effects.

𝕴𝖓𝖒𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖆𝖑 𝖘𝖍𝖊 by Neeriss

🫶 ᴷöⁿⁱᵍ ˣ ᴼᶜ ᶠᵉᵐᵃˡᵉ ʳᵉᵃᵈᵉʳ 🫶 Sometimes life is unfair to many people. Sometimes life comes at a great price for many people and sometimes one of those people is you. Life is about survival. No one is trustworthy and if you think they are...you are fooling yourself... Living a carefree life only happens to the rich and God's favorite darlings. But for people like you and me...all it takes is a great skill or a pretty face. Are you the prey or are you the hunter? But sometimes...maybe everything I said was in vain...because 𝐈 𝐦𝐞𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐦 and all my sins were forgiven or that's what I had thought.

Opal finds herself in a whole new world after escaping from the castle and her abusive father, the king and her brother. She's now trapped on an enormous ship surrounded by pirates, and violence.

Eros by TimorRon

Eros, a world forsaken by its gods, left to be governed by kings and Magi, gifted with control over various elements. *** Some say the gods are dead. That Godswar left no victor standing. That perhaps they never wore flesh at all, and old tales are mere tales. Others say they have left this land to their creations, or merely left their bodies, and are now the living spirit of their own element, gifting and empowering their chosens. There's, however, a whisper of madness, or perhaps a jest, that the gods are alive, never ceasing to weave fate to their whims. That they will be seen once again, in time to finish Godswar. Whether it is the gods' will, or not, as the ambitions of kings and outlaws tangle with ploys of betrayal, personal vendettas, fury and passion, a war is sure to come.

Avarice Blacksteel Book 2 by Xonereth

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.
