adventure exploration monsters mutants nautical nuclear ocean post-apocalyptic sciencefiction scifi

Hundreds of years after a meteor destroyed all life on Earth, humanity has finally found a new homeworld on a distant planet known as Vesta. When resources on Vesta become strained and tensions begin to run high among warring planetary factions, a team of explorers and researchers are sent to investigate the closest planet with an oxygen atmosphere- a frigid wasteland with uncharted and dangerous oceans codenamed 'Planet C'. 
The crew of the nautical research vessel 'Sphinx' are tasked with mapping Planet C's mysterious waters and evaluating the potential for human life, but as things begin to go sour, the mission turns out to not be as simple as they'd expected. When their sister team goes missing, only one thing remains clear: Planet C isn't as uninhabited as they were lead to believe...All Rights Reserved

Cosmic (18+) by Polkadette

Charlie always dreamed of a grand adventure - of saving her planet. It was why she signed up to be one of the few to traverse across the vastness of space in a ship she'd only heard stories of as a child. The journey taking five years was only a small price to pay for the chance at bringing salvation back to Earth. But when she arrives at the place she thought would be the answer to all of Earth's problems, she finds new problems are waiting for her in the form of very big territorial alien beasts - who seem to take an unhealthy interest in her. There is no escape. {TW: mature graphic content and non-consensual themes - 🍇} **updated once every two weeks most likely**

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

Going Nowhere by NotSylvieeee

In a world taken over by chaos, Skye Waters navigates the ruins of a once-thriving world. Where amidst the crumbling remnants of civilization, survivors cling to the fragile hope of a better future, but danger lurks around every corner. From sinister creatures spawned by humanity's downfall to ruthless opportunists vying for control, Skye must rely on her wits and resilience to survive. Her journey takes her through desolate landscapes, shadowy settlements, and the city of Westerfall, where trust is scarce and betrayal is common. Alongside unlikely allies, Skye uncovers dark secrets and faces death-defying situations that continue to push her to the brink as the line between friend and foe blurs. Every step forward feels like a step deeper into the unknown. When a world where survival means confronting both the darkness within and the horrors without, her path becomes filled with peril and unexpected twists. As darkness closes in, Skye begins to question if survival is truly the better option. How will she find a reason to keep going when everything seems to lead nowhere? (Irregular Updates)

I S T H M U S by extraisthmus

Isthmus is now published! This draft of the story is no longer canon, nor is it of market quality. If you'd like to experience Isthmus in its finished form, we hope you'll consider buying the published novel. You can find more information at https://isthmus.world/. Expedition Remus is sent to assess Planet 7355264Z for human colonization only to discover more than they bargained for. Previously thought desolate, their destination reveals a harrowing secret. The unprepared crew finds themselves stranded not only with each other but with the bloodthirsty creatures that rule the land they seek to claim. The ghaengste are the primitive and cannibalistic but intelligent natives of Matka. Their hostile world has been ravaged by lifetimes of violence and divided into four warring nations. A ragtag group of renegades seeks solace from the slaughter in one another, and then in the growing rebellion that forms from their bond. Isthmus follows two stories: the journey of four ghaengste destined to reunite their broken people and the trial of twenty-six settlers first to survive, then to discover what truly makes them human. The fate of both species is contingent only upon their will to seek redemption for the sins of the past, present, and future. Matka have mercy on them all.

I wasn't special, I wasn't a marine or a scientist sent here from earth to study Pandora, I was a behaviorist-some say behaviorists are scientists too; but the brain isn't made up of mathematics and hope, it's like the roots of trees. Forever speaking but unheard. I study people's brains and their behavior. I don't look at it with hope and faith. I'm nothing special, not really. When I was accepted to help with Project Pandora, I was exhilarated. This was my big break, something to get me out there. I never expected for it to spiral into my life unprofessionally-become personal, emotional. That I would have to fight in a war between man and alien, choose between my own people and a clan of beings that accepted me-welcomed me, trained and made me one of them. This wasn't supposed to become personal, but it did.

The Final Test by jayseejewel

Earth was overtaken by the Calumnia ten years ago and if it weren't for the alien Occisio race who saved the remnants of humanity, Indi's race would have gone extinct. Now, at the age of sixteen, Indi and the other surviving children are about to complete their training and return to Earth to kill the monster that destroyed their world and killed their parents. However, the children on the Occisio's spaceship have been dismissed one by one in training tests and only a few of them remain. Will Indi prove himself skilled enough to become a soldier? Or will he fail humanity as his parents did? This short story (in 13 parts) is a love letter to fans of Ender's Game and Maze Runner. (I may eventually turn this into a novel but for now, I hope you enjoy this 10,000 word story about hope and overcoming one's weakness.) [This story will appear on other websites as well, such as Royal Road.] #43 IN POST-APOCALYPTIC

Earth, After ✔️ by talia-v

Some fates are worse than death--survival is one of them. In the two hundred years since humanity left the Earth's surface to live in the sky, life on the ground faded to a myth, a tragic memory from which they severed themselves to survive. They floated above continents turned to sand and lands swallowed by the seas, watched storm after storm rage against their cities and their monuments until they broke apart the last vestiges of civilization in penance for generations of human greed. As a lightning harvester charged with flying her ship into these storms for energy, Raina has seen more of the planet than most. She has spent her entire life soaring above its craters and scars, studying the gaping wounds of human devastation, as she honed her skills and became the youngest captain in storm-chaser history. Her ship has flown for generations. Her skills are unparalleled. But none of that matters the day they go down. ~ Praise for Earth, After: "I'm so not ready for this ending.

To the Well-Organized Mind by AyndhriaSoung

After Earth is ravaged by climate change and the Cataclysm-the largest earthquake in history- humans are struggling to survive. Swathes of unlivable landscapes, the Barrens, continue to grow. Everywhere else is a battleground, where humans fight each other for food, water, and shelter. Humanity's numbers further dwindle as they fall victim to a new bacteria unearthed by the Cataclysm, Dementium feralis. It causes humans to lose their higher cognitive functions and turn feral, like the primates they originated from. There is no cure. Nia is a survivor of this world. She makes a living doing the riskiest endeavors-traveling the Barrens, collecting survivors, and hunting for the remaining vaccines that can help delay feralism. People are in awe of her willingness to risk her life, but it's easy when your days are numbered, and hers are. She's turning feral. However, her latest foray into the Barrens leads to an incredible discovery: someone with the potential to create a feralism cure. But it takes time and risk to create a cure, without promise of a payout. To Nia, some fates are worse than death, and the only absolute is the oblivion of feralism awaiting her. She must choose what to embrace: the feralism that could be humanity's only survival, or the risk for a cure. **** Now available on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/Well-Organized-Mind-Andrea-Soung/dp/B0C6BQTZ2B/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=Fl3EC&content-id=amzn1.sym.ed85217c-14c9-4aa0-b248-e47393e2ce12&pf_rd_p=ed85217c-14c9-4aa0-b248-e47393e2ce12&pf_rd_r=139-9204535-3864644&pd_rd_wg=rvk9V&pd_rd_r=1a892e06-01ad-4e5e-802a-e856a57daf20&ref_=aufs_ap_sc_dsk **** Cover art compiled by Andrea Soung Man image credit: https://pixabay.com/illustrations/man-destruction-double-exposure-1519665/ Wasteland image credit: https://pixabay.com/illustrations/landscape-scenery-nature-deserts-6880552/
