My mother used to tell me that it wasn't too late. She'd tell me bedtime stories that wailed about everything that was lost. She told me that our generation - the hapless sacks born into this godawful mess - could save it.
She whispered the same lie that generation upon generation whispered to their children. With just a little more will, a little more technology, a little more gumption we'd see that salvation was at hand all along. We could lull the Daughters of Gaia back to sleep. We could succeed where every prior generation had failed. We could save humanity.
Frankly?
I'd rather not.

Hymn From the High Seas (Azur Lane x Commander Male Reader)
You were sure that you had simply gone to bed as per usual and yet here you are, far from home, met with the sight of a calm, serene sea. In the bay, warships and carriers dock and refuel, planes rumble overhead as they aim for a landing at the airstrip on the far side of the island, and, further inland, a town bustles with life. Just where were you? "Commander," someone calls from behind, "are you done admiring the port? Please get ready swiftly, or you will be late to the daily briefing!" You are in a war consuming the world, perpetuated by an enemy shrouded in obscurity. The war is easy, in the beginning. It is almost like a game. There is good and evil. Us versus them. All you have to do is give the orders and watch your sailors take care of the rest. War, however, is never so simple, never so easy. Every horrific event one witnesses... every dance with Death one manages to step away from claws itself into the mind, creating thoughts that make the moments between thundering cannon-fire and wailing dive bombers all the more frightful. Moments like these are the worst part of the fighting. Any man's courage will break under the glaring black eyes of enemy cannons ready to let loose a few thousand pounds of compact death unto them. All the while, the slab of metal that will pound you into fleshy nothing may have already begun its course.... P.S. The story will mostly be sticking to SR and UR ships with the exception of some other ones. There are simply too many to include so it needs to be limited in some sort of fashion. I should also mention that not every girl who appears in the story will be a part of the harem. Some are there to give the setting more life, if that makes sense. Another thing: it will be in first person. That is simply my preference when it comes to writing as I enjoy working with the limited first person POV
𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙤𝙪𝙡 ♥︎
My memory has failed me. My past haunts me. My decisions bite back at me with ferociousness not even a tiger would be able to achieve. I don't know how much I've lost just doing it... But I know for a fact, that if I just sat there and didn't do anything, I would've lost far more. No matter how dark the tunnel I thread through gets, I know that there are people out there that I can rely on to light up the way for me. Those people are to be protected at all cost. The ones in the center of my heart, all with caring and nurturing souls. I won't let any of them falter, for I know that they were the crutches that helped me walk when I couldn't. Make the cost my life, and I'll still pay the price. Nothing will get past me, mark my words. Cover art by @aloliindisguise, Syuen's most faithful commander.
Ragnarok Wasn't Ready for Me: The Villainess Who Ruined Every Ship
All she wanted was to watch epic battles between powerful gods and legendary humans. That's it. She binged Record of Ragnarok, loving the action, the dramatic face-offs, and the insane powers. The gods-like Thor and Poseidon-were majestic, and the human fighters-like Adam and Kojiro Sasaki-were a whole vibe. She loved it all. But when it ended, she had no idea what to do with herself. So, like any true fan, she dived into fanfiction. Tragic love stories? Absolutely. Forbidden ships between gods and warriors? Definitely. Emotional chaos? She gobbled it all up. Then she found that fanfic. The one where every character-gods and humans alike-died tragically. No happy endings, just heartbreak. Naturally, she roasted it. "I could write a better story with my eyes closed." Well, be careful what you say at 3 a.m. The next thing she knew, she was pulled straight into the world of Ragnarok. A woman labeled as the "villainess" (but more of a background character from the original) with dark magic and a terrible fate waiting for her. Enter: the System. A sarcastic, clingy voice in her head that's more like an annoying sibling than a helpful guide. Her mission? Stay alive. Don't get caught up in the drama. Keep her distance from the gods and human warriors. But fate? Fate didn't get the memo. Now, the gods and the human fighters-who were supposed to fall in love with each other-are tripping over themselves to win her attention. Flirting in the middle of battles. Sending gifts during war councils. Declaring their love like she's the greatest prize. The ships? Sinking faster than a sinking ship. The plot? Wrecked beyond repair. The girl who just wanted to survive? Out of her depth. Welcome to Ragnarok, where the gods and humans are falling for her, and the "villainess" is accidentally collecting lovers like it's her full-time job.
✔︎ With You 'till The End (BKDK Apocalypse)
This is a BakuDeku Fanfiction 🔞. Katsuki tries his best in surviving, keeping it together till the end and Izuku tries to live through it all before finally giving in and leaving all that he loved, behind. Katsukis world comes crumbling down at the revelation. An accident took place in the far north of Japan, where an abandoned lab had exploded due to the mixture of deadly chemicals. There were no survivors within a 10 mile radious from it until government officials were informed that people were reporting unsightly creatures roaming the streets, sending photos, videos, writing articles and casting the news about it until everyone around the world knew that they were no longer alone. Humans no longer ruled the top of the food chain. Hundreds of thousands of kids, adults, teens, and elderly have been devoured and killed in cold blood in just days. In their sleep. In schools, hospitals, playgrounds-- by giant beasts. That's when they knew that the only way to live, was to survive. At least, that's the goal to Katsukis new life, but what better way to do it then face everything and go at it alone? With help that Katsuki didn't want because they would only slow his search for the boy he grew up with; Izuku Midoriya.

Re: Incarnation - Starting life in an Apocalyptic World
There was a boy who lived in a world, living a life similar to many of those around him. However an almost comical event makes it so he winds up being sent across the multiverse, inhabiting the role of the Protagonist of a Game he's already played before. This is, Goddess of Victory: NIKKE. It's far from a world filled with sunshine and rainbows like your average Isekai adventure, no, this is a world that has and still is experiencing its apocalypse. A world where humanity has already lost once before and are fighting a losing battle against an enemy that outmatches them. However, there is him. A Commander whose first mission went awry, here to do what he does best. It's fortunate that he understands the situation to a suspicious degree to ensure this world does not fall.
Heart of Gold (Nikke: Goddess of Victory FanFic)
When Earth had been invaded in an instant, the powers that be selected very few individuals who would one day defend the Earth in the far future and become the Hope of Humanity. Their plan, however, hadn't taken into account a different kind of threat, where the rest of humanity had to fight to survive on their own without these so-called "Hope of Humanity." Instead, the last of humanity created tough fighting machines known as Nikkes, who were the ones who truly became humanity's hope. Since the initial invasion, one of those Hopes has been awakened and brought into the Ark; a surviving underground civilization, where the remaining humans wait for the day they'd reclaim the surface.![A Link To The Past [Nikke x Legendary Commander]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/372243937-256-k536039.jpg)
A Link To The Past [Nikke x Legendary Commander]
Humanity once stood on the top of the world. They ruled the planet with an iron grip. Their rise in technology, industry, engineering, and science were quickly growing. However, an invasion on a worldwide scale had occurred in late 2023. Though there were initial successes in repelling these unknown, mechanical entities. They would eventually start to gain ground through quick adoption of newer variants of their beings and adjusting to counter common military tactics. However, more was needed, so came the introduction of Nikkes, an experimental female soldier that would be the first cybernetic frontline soldier. Even though there were attempts of converting males to such a task, they would become unsuccessful, as it was found out that males were more susceptible to cognitive dissonance and suicide. And so, females ranging from 18 to 30 years of age would remain the main source of Nikkes. As the war raged on, more variants of Nikkes would reinforce or replace the quickly diminishing forces of the world. There would be a significant breakthrough in the Nikkes, with the introduction of the Grimm models of Nikkes. Five Nikkes would be produced by a now defunct company. This squad would be called Goddess. They would be commanded by a special forces Captain Nicholas Miller, and through their first missions, they would further prove the effectiveness of specialized Nikkes and even push the Raptures back some. However, even their efforts would not be enough to stop the tithe of Raptures from encompassing Europe. After many years of fighting, there was one last desperate defense of a structure known as the Ark. Unfortunately, humanity would end up underground where they would spend the next 5 centuries fighting the raptures in smaller scale battles, skirmishes, and special operations. All while the fates of Goddess squad and the now legendary Captain Nicholas Miller had remained a mystery.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
