Ellie is a soldier in a world without governments. A generation ago, a series of financial crises caused most of the world’s governments to collapse, and left many of the people in those countries in terrible personal debt.

We Are Courageous {BOOK 1}
The year is 2117. The United States, up to this point, has been through three major World Wars. After World War III, the country didn't get much time to recuperate and reconstruct before a new foe surfaced and pushed all fifty states to their breaking point. Nine-foot tall Warriors known as the Jotunn Warriors were created, still a mystery to the remaining people of the United States--until now. States have been separated by color and traits and have their own strict rules for their inhabitants to follow and live by. Four out of fifty states remain, one of those being New York. Bay Zachary is an eighteen girl who lives in New York, a state now known as the Pure State. She has always felt out of place in her state and has a desire to venture past her state's borders. Bay gets a chance to escape the city with a Nebraskan rebel named Casper Bunk. Quickly, her self-desires to leave the deteriorating state turns into a mission to save her home state from the same fate of forty-five others. The Jotunn are eliminating states one-by-one, like dominoes toppling over. They must make an effort, no matter how minuscule the odds are to save what little is left. One nation? Under God? Indivisible? Liberty and Justice? The United States, only, the states were united no more, and they hadn't been for quite some time.Complete
Consequence of Power - Modern Weapons Cheat In Another World Kai
Nagato Kazuya had it in for him with a stray bullet from heaven. Now he gets a chance for a redo with hazard pay this time. The catch? He ain't the big man on top's first rodeo and has to share with other isekai protagonists of their own accord. The problem? Dome one, and you get their powers. If some guy wakes up as an ancient dragon in its volcano lair and wants to end the world, humanity just has to continue what it does best - throw a faster rock. His problem? That rock came in with either tungsten, depleted uranium, or HEAT from a hundred miles away. I've been meaning to write a fanfiction of MWCIAW for a while now, but I couldn't find the drive to do it. But after reading my fellow authors' fanfiction Nihonkoku Shoukan(NHS) Kai, and how they brought the story to life, I felt motivated to try my luck. The story was what brought me to the military isekai genre before discovering NHS. I want to pay my respects to the original and write a properly fleshed-out version. It will follow the same characters, but they will have their personal lives and conflicts, and have actual human responses to the yandere question. I own nothing except my own ideas.
A New Dawn to Conquer
For centuries, the world has been plagued by endless wars, a cycle of bloodshed and destruction. Billions perished, their lives meaningless to the world. Empires rose and fell, their banners torn apart in the chaos of conflict, as humanity wielded its greatest achievements not for progress, but for war. Innovation became a tool of violence, creating weapons of unimaginable power, only to see them turned against the very civilizations that created them. Amid the chaos, one nation stood apart, a beacon of hope and technological supremacy: the Imperial Federation of Alnania. Forged by centuries of unrelenting conflict, the Federation rose to become the world's mightiest superpower. Its people, hardened by history, embraced a singular philosophy, "Progress through Unity, and Peace through Dominance". The Federation was now getting ready for its most recent campaign, the invasion of the Republic of Volkov. An attractive opportunity was offered by the Republic's fragility, which was plagued by internal insurrection and administrative collapse. For at the end of this, they shall impose a new world order. True peace, they believed, could only be achieved through the Federation's iron hand. But as the Federation stood ready to strike, the impossible happened. In a flash of light that defied reason, the entire nation was transported to a strange new world. A realm of of magic, and mythical creatures. Filled with empires and nations with their own ambitions. Faced with this mysterious new world, the Imperial Federation saw not despair, but opportunity. Armed with their technological might and indomitable spirit, they prepared to forge a new destiny. The chaos of this world would be molded into order, and the Federation would bring progress, unity, and peace- on their terms. A New Dawn to Conquer has arrived. "A fanfiction story inspired by みのろう's Summoning Japan, but in this version, the New World is far more dangerous and far more different-than the one we know."

He can even twist reality itself, warping the very laws of physics to his will.

Spartan's Vengeance: War Beyond Worlds
Revenge keeps him alive. But will it turn him into the very monster he swore to destroy? A decade ago, Astra lost everything. Owes Al Bagdadi didn't just steal Sarah-he twisted reality itself, manipulating her into leaving. Humiliated and heartbroken, Astra swore vengeance. But his war is no longer just personal. Owes is no ordinary enemy. He is the world's most feared tyrant, his military an unstoppable force that has conquered half the planet, including all of Europe. No army can challenge him-except one. The Spartans, the last militia standing. From the USA, Astra rises as their leader. Enhanced with cybernetic implants and trained in every form of combat, he becomes a living weapon. But even with the Spartans at his back, he knows the truth-he cannot win alone. Then, the impossible happens. A portal rips open in the night sky, revealing an ancient alien civilization. Their technology is beyond human comprehension. Their weapons can annihilate entire armies. Their war is not his-but their power is exactly what he needs. They offer him more than just an army. They give him something that could change everything-a power source unlike anything on Earth. A weapon. A suit. A force that bends reality itself. The more Astra wields it, the less human he becomes. But he doesn't care. Rome will burn. Owes will die. Nothing else matters. Or so he thought. When Astra finally reaches his enemy, he faces a nightmare. Owes is no longer human either. Enhanced with the most advanced cybernetics on Earth, he has become something beyond a soldier. Their final battle is more than just a fight-it is alien technology vs. human evolution, vengeance vs. survival, destruction vs. destiny. As war erupts and the world watches in terror, Astra marches forward. No turning back. No hesitation. No mercy. Only revenge.Complete
The Hawaiian Special Forces
This is the story I'm writing for NaNoWriMo 2015. The goal: 50,000 word RAW draft written entirely in the month of November. Unlike most of my stories, which I prefer to edit before posting, I'm actually going to post updates to this at the end of each day in chapter-sized chunks. The idea behind this story is that a terrorist attack in the near future causes the US to go hyper-isolationist, to the point that it abandons Hawaii and Alaska to fend for themselves. They do, forming the United Pacific States (maybe with a few other island countries). Hawaii then goes on to turn itself into the new world police with stealthy, genetically modified cyber-soldiers. I'm marking this story as mature because there will be action scenes, and probably some interesting perspectives on nudity and relationships. I'm not planning on anything explicit, but this won't be a kids book. Validated winner at 50,040 words!Complete
