Given the chance to change everything, what would you do?
In a society defined by bespoke genetic tailoring, Dexter Reid is Aberrant: a rare throwback to the base genome with no remarkable qualities to speak of. Between casual dismissal and outright discrimination, Dex rarely has time to care about anything beyond making it to the end of the day unnoticed and unscathed.
In the world after that society falls, Dex rarely has time to think about anything other than how he's going to survive the next five minutes. Nightmares lurk on every corner, and the long-reaching arm of the mysterious Apexi Industries stretches farther than anyone can run.
When Dexter wakes up as his eighteen year old self, five years after he was eighteen, with no recollection of how or why; nothing really makes sense to him anymore. But still, how many people can say they get a chance to live through the apocalypse all over again, this time with forewarning?
Dex has a choice: use this opportunity to save the people he truly cares about, or gamble it all on stopping everything from going to hell before it even happens.

When Life Stands Still (old version)
~~~~ Please keep in mind that this is a BL (Boy's Love) and apocalyptic novel. Any normal apocalypse comes with a lot of issues - like violence, gore, abuse. As such this novel will have these topics and has been marked as 'MATURE'. If you are uncomfortable with any of this - please don't read the book. ~~~~ In a world unraveling under a relentless zombie plague, Ash Kage is more than a survivor. Born with unparalleled recovery powers, Ash has lived most of his life hidden away from the world in a secret bioengineering laboratory. His only companion was a biologically modified woman who spread the infection on her escape. Now on the run - haunted by guilt and hunted by those in search of a cure that hides in his blood, Ash finds shelter with a rather tough group of survivors. There he meets Rhys Grant - the handsome, strong, sharp eyed leader whom everyone looked up to. The attraction between them is immediately and undeniably, but so is the danger. When misunderstanding happens, an unconscious use of power causes fragments of memories of a shared past start to surface. Trust freys, desires burn and allies turn to enemies as they are drawn to each other but lack trust in one another. Will they figure out their differences or will the misunderstandings consume them? Can Ash escape the destiny of his past life and escape capture from the mad scientists who see his only value in being the cure?
The Altered.
guys please don't read this anymore lmao i write totally differently now💋 _________________ In a future where humans are genetically modified -- 'altered' -- at the age of sixteen, the world has been, until now, a safe place. Without changing a person's personality, undergoing the Alteration perfects their appearance, IQ, and even their immunity to diseases. No human passes the age of sixteen without being Altered. In the blink of an eye, things change. An ominous message is sent out to all of those below the age of sixteen, providing precise instructions that suggest they flee. Simultaneously, a deadly virus starts to spread all about the world, attacking only the Altered -- every human over the age of sixteen. The virus eats at the modified human brain, and soon the Unaltered begin to realise that the Altered are losing their minds. Home is no longer safe. Friends and family turn on one another, losing control of their own minds and bodies. The Unaltered aren't safe. Even if the virus isn't attacking them, the ones with the virus are. Set on a pristine, futuristic Earth, this is the apocalypse like you've never seen it before. (Rated mature for graphic depictions of violence and mild language.)

WHERE TO NOW? (M/M) 18+
I was used to the quiet. The isolated life I had made for myself felt safe away from the greed and carnage the world left behind. The apocalypse wasn't supposed to happen, we all thought it was an earthquake - an event that wouldn't mean anything in a few days, let alone be remembered in the history books as the worst day in human history. But now, we starved, killed and survived the horrors that walk the earth. What else could we do? I was fine, safe, content in my cabin, but that was all before. Before I met Damien. _________________________________________ "What's wrong? Do you not see this?" "They were scaring you, were they not?" "Yes, but.."

Default Genetics
Six teenagers. Genetically engineered. Organically weaponized. Publicly declared heroes, and privately ticking time bombs. The walking-talking equivalent of a biohazard weapon. The kind that reeks of sweat and streetlights and the unindominatable human spirit. The kind they wished they knew how to break. You see, they weren't born. Because life isn't as easy as crawling out of a womb anymore, with blood and serum and the warm exhale of a mother's love. No, it was far 'easier' than that. They were built - piece by piece, chemical after chemical, atom to atom - where scientists preferred fighting on which new type of atomic ray to experiment with next rather than the freaking Geneva Convention. Because, inside Helix Labs, lay the wasteland of glass and live wires and the unmistakable smell of a brand new, bioweapon. Was that a newborn cursed with a modified brain, heart, or muscle? Or did they prefer kidney, lungs or bone? No. Why? Because they weren't born...they were crafted, congealed, and set on a path of righteous fury. They were never given a choice, only the cold looming shadow of a power far greater than them when they decided to condemn the evolutionary design and man handled into existence their own path of 'heroism'. Now, these walking anomalies patrol the glass and grime skyline of Haem city, a place where chrome and corruption reek havoc side by side. Where sin and silicon are separated by a gap of letters and not materialistic gain. The mutagens call themselves saviours, the Authority calls them property and the villains refer to them as misguided. They were made to serve humanity, when they were never humans themselves. Welcome to the future, it's much colder than you think.![AS THE DEAD RISES: Book 1 & 2 [COMPLETED] {EDITING}](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/121643377-256-k929227.jpg)

Follow them in their path to safety and join them in their scary, sad, happy, or angry moments through the horde of the undead. If you are homophobic I suggest you to not read this as it has some bxb in it. I don't need close minded people coming at me. OR you just skip them although there are no warnings and the main character is bisexual. Started: June 22, 2018 Finished: Aug 17, 2018Complete
