After the earth becomes uninhabitable, humanity is forced to reside within one unfathomably large building. Within it's many floors, it is organized with the poor residing at the bottom, and as the floor number increases, so does the resident's wealth. This story is the story of a man named Athos, who one day decided that he's had enough, and escapes from his life on floor 3011 and climbs up the floors to confront the head of Dolos known as Ruby human.
This is my first ever full length novel draft. I'd appreciate any criticism that can tear my story to shreds so that I may reconstruct it as a stronger and fundamentally improved story/novel.

break the sky
The story is set on post-apocalyptic Earth. A hundred years ago, the "X virus" broke out. Transmitted through liquids and gases, it had an extremely high mortality rate and quickly infected nearly all life on Earth. The human population plummeted from 7 billion to 3 billion, but those who survived discovered their bodies evolving, becoming faster, taller, and stronger. Tragically, animals also began to evolve, becoming even more powerful than humans. Bullets couldn't penetrate their armor, and even nuclear bombs couldn't threaten high-level monsters. With modern technology practically useless, warriors rose to prominence. Through training, these warriors mastered immense powers, allowing them to battle monsters tens or even hundreds of feet tall. Humanity lost all its oceans and islands, including Australia. Ultimately, only five nations remained: these five great powers formed humanity's 23 base cities. Decades passed, and it wasn't until the rise of the protagonist, Zorro, that the balance between humanity and monsters was finally broken.
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

System Call: Opehlion Protocol
In a medieval world of Caelrevia where magic draws directly from the body, every spell consumes something vital; internal heat, bodily fluids, nutrients, vitamins; there is no mana, only life. Everyone is born with the ability to wield, but only the wealthy can afford to cast it. At the top of the arcane order sit the Administrators, bearers of the Ophelion Protocol; gold rings that exempt them from magic's cost and grant them control over time, towns, and the laws of casting itself. Beneath them, a rigid hierarchy governs access to resources, spellcasting rights, and even bodily autonomy. Magic is both power and punishment. The poor waste away trying to cast a single spell. The rich burn cities without breaking a sweat. Rebellion brews as the desperate Strains and broken Wicks seek to challenge a system built on consumption, but how do you fight gods when you starve every time you raise your hand? "Your body is the spellbook. Rip out every page."
The Solace Chronicles
Not so long ago, humanity fought the gods above them. The war against the Ethereals was long and bloody, and only the discovery of magic saved humanity from total annihilation. With the fusion of magic and technology, they clawed their way to a stalemate; in time, the war was over. Humanity had secured their freedom...or so they thought. The Ethereal War changed life on Earth forever. The world is now plagued by glyphstorms-- constant, magic-infused dust storms that drive those who linger too long to insanity. Traveling within them is thought to be impossible, and the only shelter comes in the form of magical shield domes over humanity's cities. Progress is rapid, yet isolated to pockets of civilization. In the same world where some people thrive, many others struggle, their spirits kept alive only by the hope of a better future. But the future is uncertain; until humanity can discover the secrets of shield tech and brave the storms that divide them, they will never be truly free. ------- This is a collection of short stories that take place within Solace, a fictional science-fantasy setting I have been working on since January 2025. This is not the mainline story, but may involve side plots, alternate perspectives of story events, etc. Basically this is my way of getting back into writing on Wattpad and having a catch-all for any short stories related to Solace. This will be updated as I go, and I'd love to hear feedback! [This cover is a placeholder and I don't take credit for the art. It was taken from a copyright-free source]
