It is the beginning of the apocalypse and Les is there at ground zero. After returning home for the funeral of a friend, his world in turned upside down by events that try his every sense of reason. The dead are returning from the grave, but not in the way that the world fears. They are completely sentient, but have no awareness of their time being dead. To them, they see each other as in their prime with a gentle mist about their forms, but, to the living, they appear as decomposed as they were just before being awakened.

With the panic of the inexplicable event, the world is thrown into chaos. Religious extremist groups form out of a fear to combat the perceived invasion of the undead and Les finds himself as a target after befriending the undead. Running from one particular group, which calls itself "Christ's Protectors," Les finds himself running further and further from them while fortuitously stumbling upon more and more ancient clues to what is happening.

Timeless loves are discovered, epic battles ensue, and the barriers between this world and the next are blurred as Les and his friends meet ancient gods and explore forgotten realms. Comedy, romance, drama, action, and philosophical quandaries give From Night On: Awakenings a range to be enjoyed by everyone.

Vacation in Damnation by gunshyboo
4 parts Ongoing Mature
A year ago, the world was destroyed by ancient gods, summoned by a cabal of wealthy elites who sought to reshape reality. Their dark ritual unleashed vengeful deities who twisted Earth into a nightmarish landscape where magic rules, technology crumbles, and humanity struggles to survive. Familiar places became deadly realms. Forests turned into dark, sentient labyrinths, lakes teemed with krakens, and the skies became the domain of dragons and harpies. Cities either crumbled or transformed into dungeon-like ruins filled with traps and monstrous inhabitants. Survivors cower, avoiding the gaze of mind flayers, beholders, and the undead, while fiendish creatures openly harvest souls for their infernal masters. In this terrifying new world, Marcus Graves, a former soldier turned necromancer, fights to relax. Armed with dark powers, he raises the dead to protect himself against the horrors that roam the earth. But Marcus isn't just trying to survive-he's determined to enjoy the vacation he and his girlfriend, Sarah, had always planned. Tragically, Sarah died on day one of the apocalypse, but Marcus wasn't ready to let their plans fall apart. he resurrected her, but she isn't quite the same. Sarah's a bit slow, her reactions sluggish, and her memories foggy, but she's still the companion Marcus needed for their planned vacation. Together, they travel the nightmare world, visiting the sights they'd always planned to see-despite their now-destroyed state. Whether it's the ruined remains of famous landmarks, crumbling cities, or the corrupted beauty of nature, Marcus and Sarah are determined to check off every destination on their list, finding dark humor in the grim reality around them. Even in a world overrun by gods and monsters, they carry out their now hellish vacation, where survival is the ultimate game, Marcus and Sarah are just trying to kick back and enjoy the ride-even if the world is falling apart around them.

10 parts Complete Mature
In the harrowing depths of Raccoon City, where the stench of death permeates the air and terror lurks around every corner, a familiar face emerges from the shadows. Stryker, once a resident of this forsaken city, had settled into a desolate life behind prison walls. But fate, in its twisted irony, granted him an opportunity for redemption-a chance to be set free, not by the hands of justice, but by joining the formidable U.B.S.C. Years have passed since that fateful decision, and Stryker finds himself once again deployed into the heart of the city that holds his darkest memories. Raccoon City, ravaged by a relentless zombie virus, becomes the battleground for survival, where hope is a flickering flame amid the encroaching darkness. It is in this grim landscape that Stryker's path collides with that of his former friend, Jill Valentine-a resilient warrior whom he had silently admired from afar, believing he could never bridge the chasm between them. But as the relentless pursuit of the monstrous Nemesis bears down upon them, the boundaries that once separated Stryker and Jill begin to blur. Forced into a desperate alliance, they must face the horrors that lie ahead together. In the crucible of chaos, their destinies intertwine, and a bond forged by shared struggles and untold dangers grows stronger with each passing moment. As they navigate treacherous streets riddled with the undead, their relationship evolves, morphing from hesitant allies to something more. Beneath the weight of impending doom, a fragile connection blossoms-a connection that defies the despair of their surroundings. In this crucible of survival, love and trust become their only solace, their only hope.

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier
30 parts Complete
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.

I Need To Exchange My Demon, Please by JaideHarley
6 parts Complete Mature
Marcus narrowed his eyes at her and brought a hand up, tangling his hand in her hair and tugging on it so she was looking up at him. "You're asking for it, Mila. I could have you moaning my name and begging for more in seconds," he said, squeezing her ass and rubbing himself against her. Mila inhaled sharply and let out an involuntary whimper, craving to be closer to him, with nothing in the way. "You're all talk," she said breathlessly. "All talk, no action. You talk too much," she said, looking up at him with darkened eyes. "I'll believe it when I see it." Marcus growled, planting another hard kiss on her lips, pinning her to the wall with his body as his hands slid down lower on her ass, fingers curling around her inner thighs and getting dangerously close to where she was already wet for him. "You're going to eat those words, Mila," he said against her lips, pushing off the wall and carrying her towards the bedroom. "You're going to eat them while I fuck you so good you scream my name." Mila is desperate for money. So desperate she is willing to do anything to get it and has tried most things. She reaches the end of hope that she will get the the necessary amount in time to take care of the person who needs it, until she remembers her life insurance. The life insurance she gets through her work could cover everything, the only issue being it requires her death and a suicide-clause means she can't do it herself. Desperate enough to sacrifice her life, she finds hiring someone to do it too expensive and one night while drunk, she turns to her superstitious roots and tries to summon a demon to do the deed for her. Several failed attempts later, she's surprised to discover it actually worked, and a surprisingly attractive demon named Marcus is standing in her living room, refusing to accept her request and sparking a lot of feelings she wasn't expecting to have for a demon from hell. this book comes down Nov 1st, then only on patreon
