When the civil war started, people thought it would only last a couple of weeks. But, it took years for the government to surround the rebels and engage in violent firefights everyday. Now, the entire city was devastated by shelling, rockets, and technically everything that's being used to fight the rebels.
On the other hand, civilians left behind were forced to hole up in their houses and hope for the best. Most houses were shelled, and many people were raided by the rebels, taking everything they had.
A group of survivors take shelter in an emptied neighborhood, knowing that it would mean rebels wouldn't even bother raiding it anymore, and that the military would never shell out empty places. The group has to scavenge what they can at night, avoiding any sort of violent action unless the situation calls for it. With none of them having no experience in any combat, it's up to them to adapt to the new, harsh city.

The Watcher | Volume 1: Whispers in the Dark [COMPLETE]
A Former Marine, now a self-sustained mountain man. After his time in the military, Isaac couldn't adjust to normal civilian life. Haunted by the trauma of war and the loss of his wife and young daughter in a car accident, he retreated to the mountains to live a solitary life. His military experience gave him an appreciation for survival, discipline, and focus, which have all been vital for his life in the wilderness. Isaac's father and grandfather were both mountain men themselves, though his father was more of a hunter and trapper, while his grandfather believed in the old ways, including local superstitions and folklore. Isaac's mother died when he was a boy, and his father raised him to be tough and self-sufficient, teaching him to hunt, track, and live off the land. His father, however, also warned him about the dangers of the mountain and the power of the old spirits, which Isaac dismissed as fanciful stories-until now. The loss of his family is Isaac's defining trauma. He blames himself for their deaths, though it was an accident. He retreated to the mountains as a way to escape the guilt and sorrow that plagued him in the outside world. Living in the mountains has been a form of self-punishment, but also a way to find peace. However, the isolation has also made him more vulnerable to the forces that lurk there. At first, Isaac's goal is simply to survive the mysterious force that is stalking him. He uses his survival skills to outlast the creature, but he soon realizes that there is no running from The Wachter-it will keep coming for him. As the story progresses, Isaac's motivations shift. He recognizes that surviving isn't enough-he needs to face The Wachter head-on, not just to protect himself, but to lay to rest the guilt he has carried for years. Defeating the creature becomes a way for him to reclaim his life and find redemption for his past mistakes.Complete
Innsania 2C /Lucy pov/
Everything started in 2036. The pollution was so bad that the end of the world was predicted to be right around the corner. As complete panic set in around the world, the rich and important people were all gathered and placed on giant spaceships with enough resources and room to house generations of human beings. Before they left though, the government leaders fired As a result, most of the human population died off and earth was a complete wasteland. The little that survived started building local communities and trying to survive in the destroyed excuse of a planet. On the disaster of a planet, creatures mutated and were born out of the nuclear chemicals; creating new species and monsters that hunted humans. While hundreds and hundreds of years passed, the monsters kept evolving and the people kept adapting while still trying to keep a sort of community. They didn't want to lose all of their humanity and become nothing more than animals that hunted the monsters: then they would truly be no better than the monsters themselves. So they stayed civil while still doing what it took to survive.Complete
"Goodbye Curly Head"
Through thick and thin the Law shall prevail. A new sense of purpose awaits us, children of light, in the land where it all began. The darkness in which we once cowered in fear, now curbed by the might of our endless light. Come, brothers, come, sisters. Let there be peace among the wicked, just as the Law dictates. Peace and certainty is all that you have ever longed for, little angel. A bright, stable future. A roof without holes above thy head. Acknowledgement and recognition of thy existence, feverish dreams of grandeur. Greed born from yearning, treacherous vines of rapacity taint your innocent soul. You seek a future that does not exist. Let thy fingers hold the fragile line between dream and nightmare. Let thy light navigate the path. Shall thee give in and falter, O' land of old, envelop his body in thy unending flame of chaos. Spit out nothing but an empty husk, the remnants of a smile once so bright. Shall thee prevail, O', Great Kazdel, I ask of you, the impossible - take mercy on the innocent. Don't let the radiance dim and don't let the mind turn bleak. Wake, young traveler. Bid thy farewells and burn thy bridges. It's time to say goodbye, curly head. Cross post from AO3. For a shorter and more on-point description, look no further! I had something silly written up before throwing it out in exchange for that wall of text upstairs. It's a little story "about a young, dumb sankta who's been dealt a bad hand at life, looking for his place in all this mess. The pointless search for a better future leads him far, far away from home, to a country forever ravaged by war and misery - Kazdel, the promised land where devils roam free and peace feels out of place." Anyway, it's quite lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable? Slide a comment if you want, I'll give you a tiny kiss on the forehead. Man, do I love comments. (Lastly, to point out, English is not my native language, but I don't think it'll be much of an issue ;3)Complete
Runaway
I've been on the run for three years. I'm not the first, but I certainly won't be the last. For as long as I can remember, I had been experimented on, drugged to the brink of insanity, and tortured by someone I thought was my family. Boy, was I wrong. This isn't one of those stories where I suddenly get a huge boost of courage and defeat the bad guys then live happily ever after. I don't believe in that stuff anymore. Instead, I was a coward, and ran for my life, for my freedom, because I was too afraid to stand and fight and risk losing control like the monster they had created me to be. I've been too many people, have moved too many times. Now, I wonder if I will finally be able to find a place to call home... I won't allow myself to be captured before I even have a chance at that. Because if do, I'm as good as dead. © Sweetslover8 ~August 26th, 2013 ***Please note that the following is a work of fiction.

Dust (Black Widow X Reader)
"One of the few things I learned in my life was that death always comes. Senescence, illness or... murder, death is always the end every single one of us will face. I was told that mankind was born to die. That's what kept me sane in this job. Death isn't bad, as long as it is quick....." (Y/N) (M/N) (L/N) is a computer freak who bears the power of fire demon Daemon and the best assassin to ever step in the field. He was very well known in the underworld not only for his killing abilities but for his excellent computer skills as well. His victims varied from well known CEOs to even presidents. His nickname was "(N/N)" because he never left any tracks behind and no one knew anything about him except for a woman called Natalia Romanova. They were partners until S.H.I.E.L.D caught her. But what happened when he will have to step into the light to help his old partner in crime? (Y/N): Your name (M/N): Middle Name (L/N): Last Name (N/N): Nickname (E/C): Eye Color (H/C): Hair Color (Y/C): Your City I don't own any of the soundtracks I used, the owners will be mentioned in the story. Also, I don't own any of the characters, Marvel does, except for you. You own yourself. I only own the first 10 chapters and the editing of the photos, not the parts that are used. This is the first time I write something like this and it's mostly like an experiment. There will be some violence scences but you will be warned before you get to it so as to skip the chapter or the part if necessery since a reader might be disturbed by it.. Also as Steve once said: "Language!" That's why I turned on the mature content. I hope you enjoy.Complete

The Shelter
No one really knew how X's came to be. One day there weren't any, the next day half the population was wiped out. All Karma knew was that they are technological monsters, fit to be the world's biggest weapon, after the splitting particle ray which could reduce any person into air particles in a millisecond. Karma realised how simple it would be to destroy an army even with one X. They were practically indestructible, perfect killing machines, only they'd turned on the government, apparently. Or maybe those bastards had escaped perfectly unharmed, watching how the country was being destroyed. Maybe it was an excuse for overpopulation. xx-xx Karma has been trying to survive for over a year, but it's difficult when X's, mechanical killing machines, roam the streets, hungry for human flesh. Every day that passes by without finding a portal brings the morale lower. They need to escape the country before they all end up dead. It doesn't help that the X's have changed their tactics and are now manipulating people to commit suicide. The death rate keeps increasing, and Karma has to find out what family means, and to what extremes she would go to save the ones she loves.Complete
