In the midst of a world war in the 2040's and trapped behind enemy lines, Ryan fights to survive in the frigid cold of the Arctic Circle.
Some 3,000 miles away from home, Ryan is stranded deep in northern Canada. All alone, he explores the desolate snowy lands around him. Is he really alone? No, but he doesn't know that... yet.

Beyond MxB
3518 A.D. Exactly 1500 years ago, Earth had been pushed to its limits and threatened to collaps on itself if we didn't act in time. Mankind didn't know what to do anymore and had declared our home doomed, our days numbered. That was, until the supernatural society decided to step up and take actions in their own hands. Creatures we thought never existed suddenly appeared out of their secret societies to safe Earth, to erase our mistakes and begin anew. They succeeded but parts of the world vanished for centuries due to the climate being completely out of the normal before it settled again and left the world at peace again. But not for mankind; all the other races had grown to dislike us, hate us. A witch hunt ensued and now only few of us are left. I've been running all of my life to remain free and alive, to survive and be as happy as humanly possible. My name is Thorn and I'm part of the last humans on our planet.

Cure for a Nation
In the wild lands of Aurora, from the frozen seas in the north to the dusty peaks in the south, a war was raged. The war was between two great powers. In the western forests rested the Steel Imperium that relied on the brute strength of its advanced mechanical engineering and weapon systems while the Warriors of Technology in the east fought with precise devices and guerrilla tactics. The Imperium wanted to unite the territories of Aurora under one leader while the Warriors wanted to keep to tradition and let the territories govern themselves. The war was a long and bloody one that lasted for seventy years until the Imperium broke through the Warrior's lines and razed their capitol. At the same time, however, the Warriors slipped by and decimated the Steel Imperium's factories and destroyed their own cities. The factions fought until the bitter end, leaving nothing but wastelands and empty cities on both sides. Now seven years have passed and a disease has arisen from the ruins of Aurora and threatens to decimate the remaining population. Out of the sick and ever shrinking population, there is but one woman who has the means to find the cure. This is the story of Claire and her search for answers. Commenting encouraged.
