Welcome to Terra 2: A Second Tree Of Life, an on-going speculative evolution project.

Speculative evolution is a sort of writing and artform where one uses basic principles of science to construct fictional yet realistic worlds and the life living upon them. It is not a story, or at least not one driven by characters, rather its more like a journal documenting the changes in an ecosystem and its animals over millions of years, creating fictional animals, plants, continents and taxonomic trees. If this doesn't interest you, then, well, this isn't gonna be enjoyable to read (though I hope you still give it a try anyway :) ).All Rights Reserved

Runaway World by IanReeve216

During the final decades of the twenty first century, a rogue brown dwarf star passed through the solar system and its gravity threw the Earth out of orbit around the sun. Two hundred years later, when the atmosphere has finished freezing onto the surface, explorers from the last refuge of humanity venture out to see what's become of their world. Things looks bleak. Mankind faces a future of huddling in whatever warm refuges it can make for itself until the Earth's core goes cold, but then a discovery is made. An opportunity exists for mankind to leave the planet and find its destiny among the stars, but to do so requires an all or nothing gamble and losing would mean the end of the human race. Some want to take the gamble. Others don't, and so conflict and violence breaks out as the survey teams explore a planet transformed out of all recognition...

The Odd New World by Azore21

"The Odd New World" is a fictional story told in the perspective of a young woman in a post-apocalyptic world who goes on a journey to find any way to escape the planet and find her people again after her world was invaded by various otherworldly creatures. The creatures now roam all across the world, spreading new plant life and increasing their numbers with much more ease as most of humans have either been killed, or escaped the planet before things progressively got worse for humans. All the creatures are not anything the woman has ever seen before. She must learn about these creatures and figure out how she will go about roaming around in a new world that she was not prepared for in order to get out of there alive.

Planet Cypro by CytrozianGod

For two decades, the Earth had become a place of nightmares to the human race. A disease known as Covid-19, thought to be equivalent to the flu, turned out to be so much more. A very gruesome and powerful alien bio weapon. Not only did it kill billions, but turned their bodies into seeds that grew into alien terraforming roots that reshaped the surface of the Earth, mutating the land, and everything organic, leaving humans to survive on mostly inhabitable planet that's beyond hazardous all over the world. Join a group of survivors in a large city that have locked down an old office building that remains mostly intact as they try and find a way to safety. Their last hope lies in a military base one hundred miles from them, and as they make their journey there, begins the Chaos of Planet Cypro.

Out of the Fire by ejcou0

What would you do if you discovered the end of the world was really nigh? Which way out would you take if you were very wealthy and discovered there were two possible paths to avoiding the catastrophe? Would you choose a dangerous jump to the future or risk hiding in a sanctuary until the danger has passed? An adventure into a post apocalyptic Earth, where the future isn't a desert inhabited by weirdos and strange cars, one that is green and fertile, but still dangerous. Welcome to a future world where all isn't as it appears, one where all the preparation you could think of, may not be enough.

Dragons Are Demanding (Book 1)Complete by Klopez201

Dragon love story. 18+ slow burn ***unedited*** I do not own any art. (Fair warning it is a slowbuild. chapters take aprox 4min to read. Violence starts at chpt 20. Intimacy in chpt 30. The series has a happy ending. Dragonkin might be the formidable rulers of the world, but they are a dying breed. A dragonkin might be able to live for a centuries but without hatchlings, extinction is only a matter of time. If this human can produce a child it might be the solution to both mine and my species problems. I do not own any of the art. All of it is from pintrest or deviant art. If you are the artist message me and I will remove it.

The White Singularity: A Choose Your Own Adventure by DocReVillaFel

You are Dr. Brent Phillips, scientist extraordinaire, and have explored all the frontiers on Earth. There's only one place you haven't been... the very center of our planet. Until now. What will you encounter on your way down? Extinct species? Impossible cosmic phenomena? Lost civilizations? There's only one way to find out... **Based on an ADRIFT text-based game that I wrote in my nonexistent spare time as an internist-in-training a LONG long time ago. **Don't expect anything to follow the laws of nature. The "explanations" are all techno-babble ala Star Trek. The premise is patently absurd, anyway! Just abandon logic for now and set your imagination free! **This is an ongoing adventure. I'll try to update it at least once a week.

To the Well-Organized Mind by AyndhriaSoung

After Earth is ravaged by climate change and the Cataclysm-the largest earthquake in history- humans are struggling to survive. Swathes of unlivable landscapes, the Barrens, continue to grow. Everywhere else is a battleground, where humans fight each other for food, water, and shelter. Humanity's numbers further dwindle as they fall victim to a new bacteria unearthed by the Cataclysm, Dementium feralis. It causes humans to lose their higher cognitive functions and turn feral, like the primates they originated from. There is no cure. Nia is a survivor of this world. She makes a living doing the riskiest endeavors-traveling the Barrens, collecting survivors, and hunting for the remaining vaccines that can help delay feralism. People are in awe of her willingness to risk her life, but it's easy when your days are numbered, and hers are. She's turning feral. However, her latest foray into the Barrens leads to an incredible discovery: someone with the potential to create a feralism cure. But it takes time and risk to create a cure, without promise of a payout. To Nia, some fates are worse than death, and the only absolute is the oblivion of feralism awaiting her. She must choose what to embrace: the feralism that could be humanity's only survival, or the risk for a cure. **** Now available on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/Well-Organized-Mind-Andrea-Soung/dp/B0C6BQTZ2B/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=Fl3EC&content-id=amzn1.sym.ed85217c-14c9-4aa0-b248-e47393e2ce12&pf_rd_p=ed85217c-14c9-4aa0-b248-e47393e2ce12&pf_rd_r=139-9204535-3864644&pd_rd_wg=rvk9V&pd_rd_r=1a892e06-01ad-4e5e-802a-e856a57daf20&ref_=aufs_ap_sc_dsk **** Cover art compiled by Andrea Soung Man image credit: https://pixabay.com/illustrations/man-destruction-double-exposure-1519665/ Wasteland image credit: https://pixabay.com/illustrations/landscape-scenery-nature-deserts-6880552/

The Hangman's Plague by MSulejmanovic

It is the second decade of the second millennium and an unsuspecting world is engulfed by an unknown plague. Uncurable and fatal, it was hence named the Hangman's Plague. The survivors of this brave new world must find a way to operate in an environment of scarcity. Some still yearn for the olden days of humanity, an era of plenty. Only those most determined to carry on and thrive in a new era of capricious geopolitical uncertainty will prosper and begin a renaissance of humanity. Can these broken pieces be stitched back together, or will we remain forlorn forever?

The Rift by SymfoniaTheMyth

In a world forever altered by a cataclysmic event, humanity now exists in two starkly contrasting realms. One side is a gleaming enclave of advanced technology and apparent perfection, while the other is a desolate wasteland where survivors struggle amid the ruins of a lost civilization. Within the utopian enclave of Passis, Kade, a man who typically avoids bending the rules or venturing beyond his comfort zone, is drawn into a journey of discovery by a lone survivor in the Rift. As he delves deeper, he uncovers disturbing truths about the hidden costs and the Sovereigns' oppressive measures that keep the desperate inhabitants of the Rift isolated and forgotten.
