Two millennia have passed after a catastrophic event that killed most of the population on earth.  The survivors are rebuilding a society where, perhaps unsurprisingly, human relations feature the same prejudices and conflicts that are familiar to us.  Fortunately, not everyone is of the same old mold.  Betula and Liriodendron are nonconformists of the best kind, just like the many we are familiar with today.  Let's hope their adventures will be entertaining enough for readers to suffer Contrails' dark episodes.  Hey! Dystopia is seldom entertaining.All Rights Reserved

Lost In Lucidity by Ink_Wielder

"Last night, I had a dream the world ended. Half the population disappeared, and unfathomable eldritch beasts shambled out of an unending darkness." In a world with no sun and bloodthirsty creatures roaming the all consuming dark, the only places still safe are the small compounds that managed to get walls up before all came crashing down. Now, life is simple. Stay inside the walls, and you'll stay alive. It's not relatively easy anymore, though. With no one for company but each other, danger lurking only a few yards away from their homes, and half of their loved ones swept away in a mysterious event known only as 'The Vanishing', the morale of the populous is at an all time low. It's only getting worse for some, as their cities that are supposed to be providing for them are failing to do so. Survivors Wesly and Valentine aren't content with this, however, especially since Val's mother desperately needs life-saving medicine that the city just won't send. With no other options, the two journey outside the wall to study the monsters beyond, selling the information they find to the city in exchange for their support. While dangerous, they manage the task fine until one journey out they stumble across a disturbing, gruesome revelation that reveals not only more about the city, but the end of the world as a whole. As the duo begin to pull on the thread and tangle themselves slowly into its snare, they begin to realize there's a lot more to this apocalypse than they ever could have imagined, and that the horrific beasts they've been studying might be the least of their concerns...

The Last Shadow Witch by Kem-Bee

My body sank down as water ran into my body through my nostrils and mouth. I hanged on, keeping my eyes open and hoping for a miracle. A glowing form dived into the water, swimming down to me with the speed of lightning. His ginger hair floated in the water, dancing like a mermaid's waves and sparkling at each sway. He looked like an Angel, my beautiful guardian angel. ____ Marinette Karnowsky, a nineteen years old whose life is a typical bed of thorns and needles. Struggling to get through college on her own, battling with abandonment and abuse, she still pushed on. It all ends when her beloved older stepsister returned and carried her to her home, a beautiful house in a mysterious town she never heard about. Marinette is surprised to learn that her beloved sister is not so human and the town, a place no sane human would want to go to. While still trying to absorb the new information, she meets her sister's gorgeous best friend, the male she can't help but be attracted to even if she knows her sister might harbour feelings for him. Marinette realised that she must deal with the not so normal attraction to the jovial golden boy, the boy whose connection with her is deeper than what she ever imagined. And with a deep secret buried in her new college and connecting the lives of her, her sister and all around her, she has more to deal with than an unbreakable attraction to her fire head prince.

Like the Dawn by LacheMooney

Tess begins her dream sailing peacefully along a pristine coastline; it's not long before a storm approaches, capsizing her. Normally the dream would end there, but this is a dream unlike any other. When she wakes up, she's still in her dream and discovers that here, her sign language has power. Back in reality, college-student Tess faces another storm; death, and the debris it leaves in its wake. Tess's Aunt Valentine, the woman who taught her ASL and practically raised her, is dying and treatment isn't working. On top of this, Tess is finishing her degree in English with hopes to make her mark on the world through her poetry. Oh yeah, and she's working in an art gallery for a family friend, Alice, preparing a new exhibit featuring the invisible beauty of trees. It's a hectic life to balance. And now, she keeps having the same dream in a living world. Every night she returns to find the world changed, whether its creatures of her subconscious she calls Tones or an oddly intuitive boy who claims to be her guide. Then there's the monster her Tones call Amiko who seems to want her dead. Tess is starting to think this could be a nightmare instead. As she dives further into the dream, she loses her grip on reality. She can do anything, conquer it all, but can she find a way to save her aunt?

Heart Of The Storm by KasaiTheQueen19

"How could you love me? I'm a monster." I immediately stand up, pulling her up with me. Holding her gaze in mine as I trace along her cheeks and jaw, down her neck and back up again. "You are not a monster, you never were. If anything you are a soldier Aella, a soldier who has fought for too long." She stares up at me in silence, her eyes brimming with tears. I hate the sight of them, but I know that she needs to shed them, she's held them in for too long. "You are one of the strongest people I have ever known my love. But please, when you feel like the world is going to crumble beneath your feet, let me be the one who holds you." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aella has had a life of hell. Seeing things that no child should ever see, and forced to do things no child should ever do. Being trapped into the life of a superhuman soldier, she finally escapes her captors. Now, with her freedom, she only has one thing on her mind: Vengeance against the ones who held her prisoner. So when she meets her mate, a werewolf Gamma named Apollo, she's hesitant about getting too close.

Traversing Through Beastmen World by ElectraEmerose

Bree was a modern girl reborn into the world of shifters, as a bunny. This was obviously a cruel joke since she had died in her previous life by being mauled. In this new world, females were few due to the warlike environment. The different clans would constantly fight over land and resources. Females were considered the most valuable resource. If females refused to find at least two mates by the time they matured, they would be sold. You didn't want to be sold. Sold females were considered property and would get a mark of slavery on them. Because females were so expensive, they were usually bought by whole communities to be shared by unmated males. The mark of slavery prevented them from contracting a mate and therefor accumulating power and territory. You needed to create a strong home by contracting with powerful shifters. After contracting, they would receive your mark and become your champion. They would fight for your honor, use their magic ability for your benefit, and provide for you. In return, you were expected to produce eggs. Males could be the leader of a clan, but a female could take over large territories by contracting the strong clan leaders. After expanding her territory, a female would be considered nobility. The stronger their champions, the better their resources and territory. Larger area's typically had one queen female and her court made up of nobility. Every double full moon, they would fight for the honor to have their female enter the queen's court. At the end of the queen's reign, she could choose a new queen from her court. In the midst of all this, Bree discovered her own magic power, 'Otome Gamer.' While Bree is trying to fulfill her quests, and an ultimate goal that would change everything, a frightening darkness is spreading, and shifters start to disappear. Along her journey, Bree makes friends and discovers that fated mates actually exist. Please don't copy or steal my story or ideas. Thanks 🥰
