They said that the end of the world would be long and painful, with plenty of signs and disaster. Well, there were none. Everything was gone in less than a second.

A sudden unknown electromagnetic wave swept the Earth, mutating ninety percent of humanity into fast and strong zombies. Dr William Toh should have been one of them, except he retained his mental capacity and gained a unique physiology instead. 

And he was not alone.

The dangers of this new world lurk in every corner as he embarks on his journey to reverse the mutation wave. Will he succeed? Or will he succumb to the deadly politics and war that could potentially wipe out what's left of humanity instead?

HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 in survivalofthefittest #1 in zacharius #2 in Quartz #5 in zombiesurvival #8 in survival The world went to shit 8 months ago. I haven't had a proper shit since then. Hi, I'm Unity. And I have had it with this zombie fucking apocalypse I just want to put a bullet in my skull. Unfortunately, (or fortunately, whichever you prefer) I don't have a gun with me. Fucking scientists and their fucking experiments, they just won't let the Earth breathe for a second, can they?!?! Fucking assholes. Now the world has gone to shit, and it would've been okay to just wait this apocalypse out if it weren't for my food and water supply depleting. *crack* Oh shit. Well, I got to run. The zombies are about to break into this convenience store I'm currently staying in. "FWEET!" My dog came barrelling towards me at the sound of my quiet whistle, a bag of treats in her mouth as I looked at her helplessly. "Really?" I sighed. I grabbed my bag and put the treats in and swung my baseball bat as if to test the strength I should exude to bash their heads in. Oh. Did I say I'm going to run away from them? My bad. I meant to say I'm gonna run through them. Hi, I'm Unity Cherish Joy Alcock. And I'm anything but.

All Beck wanted was to take his first vacation alone with his girlfriend of nearly three years. No nagging parents, no interruptions, nothing. Things didn't last a day. A freak accident at a science museum leaves Beck hospitalized. He should be dead, but is not only injury-less... but has somehow walked away discovering he has obtained electrical superpowers. Beck never wanted to become a superhero. He's never wanted fame, money, or even praise. He just wanted to settle down and continue life with his girlfriend. She's the only person who knows of his powers, and it's bonding them closer than ever before. For Beck, it might just mean starting the next step of their lives together, even if it's super early. What's in the way? His overbearing mother, his girlfriend's aggressive father, and his own paranoia of being discovered. Could he really continue to live a private life if another's life was at stake?

Immune by AmyJohnson895

*THE UNEDITED VERSION* Beware of typos, errors, and general mistakes. This is a very, very rough draft. "I live in a place called Compound 4. We are one of ten different compounds placed at strategic locations around the US. It's been thirteen years since the virus overtook humanity, turning about ninety percent of us into zombies. I'm not sure how it started exactly; that's classified information. I do know that in order to save what was left of the human race, the president at the time took a bunch of really smart people and kids and relocated them into new 'protected' cities. My father was one of those really smart people. I was only five at the time, but I knew what was happening." Within the walls of the compound, Jay makes stupid mistakes, mistakes even she doesn't understand, putting everyone inside at risk. All because she can't shoot someone. All because she misses the wind in her hair, the flowers on the hillsides, the sound of crickets at night. All because she's different, the only person untouchable by the Virus. When the mistakes begin to duplicate, and a girl shows up who knows her name, everything begins to change in Compound 4. Highest rank in Science Fiction: #9

Outbreak: The Extinction Chronicles by jhepong24

"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change." - Charles Darwin Amidst the nuclear war, popularly known as World War III, mankind had also been struck with a weaponized viral disease, decimating what's left of the human population. With his memory lost under the perilous fallout, Gabriel was saved by two other survivors. And together, they strived in a modified nuclear shelter away from the heavily infested cities. They thought they were living a safe and well-sustained life. Until one day, they found out the most shocking discovery, the truth that pushed Gabriel in a heart-stopping journey of his life. He would travel hundreds of miles of the post-apocalyptic world lurking with unknown dangers, including the hordes of infected and bandits alike. He would then come across other survivors, struggling to preserve their lives and ideals. However, as pieces of his memory came rolling back, conflicts of priorities defied even the most basic rules of their survival. Will Gabriel, and the people he have come to cherish, outlive the apocalypse? Or will they perish, and go through... extinction?

17 Bullets: becoming the Werewolf Queen by pattyofurniture

60 bullets 59 58 57.. The countdown to 17 Bullets begins now. Eleanor was prepared for the zombie apocalypse, not a completely different planet with werewolves, dragons, and viper-fanged skunks! She will have to use all her survival tricks if she wants to stay alive. How will she react when she meets Thann, a handsome alien and learns that he and all men are werewolves and there hasn't been a woman on the planet for a hundred years? How will Thann react when he realizes that she is the woman his mother told stories of a century ago? How will they even find out when they don't speak the same language? As Eleanor's pocket full of bullets decreases, she gets closer and closer to becoming the werewolf queen. Complete. Word Count: 105,000 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He turned slowly back, dreary eyes meeting mine. The towering man was nearly seven feet tall and all bulging muscles. His hair was dark and cut long skimming his smooth angled jaw. Brows watching me with the same intensity as I was watching him. Very lovely rich tan color. Shirtless and barefoot, but wearing simple leather pants, with some kind of pack hanging to his hip. Stomach raw with some deep gash and body littered with cuts. The entire picture of him was genuinely mouthwateringly handsome, but with the dagger still held in one hand entirely too deadly. "Stay right there Dothraki!" I called, my rifle finally having something in the crosshairs again. I'd never watched the popular show, but the videos I saw sure had him looking like he could play one of the built characters. The dagger dropped to the ground and he fell to a single knee after it, though he didn't bend to pick it up. He bent to ...bow? His head stayed inclined as he bent and spoke. His voice was smooth and husky, deep and baritone. Exceptionally beautiful. "Earth female safe." 1st in Aliens: 09/21

Infection Runs Deep by goodness_graecus

Dr. Elizabeth Hunter thought her life as second year resident could not get anymore frantic than her ER rotation. Crashing heart rates, bottoming out blood pressures, and hysterical patients were something that she could handle. She'd been trained for it after all. But when a patient came into the ER with an unknown disease that Elizabeth has no idea how to treat, she found herself thrown into chaos as the newfound illness plagues the US. After a few close calls, Elizabeth joined ranks with Sergeant Luke Falls who lead her to a military base. Elizabeth tried her best to navigate the unknown in her post-apocalyptic reality, fighting off infected while trying to treat them as patients. In conjunction with Luke and her new comrades, she discovered some particularly troubling information of the etiology of the disease and must make crucial decisions with the lives of those she cares for most hanging in the balance. --- "This is a bad idea," he warned as I started down the hall. "You know, usually I'm the one saying that," I said with a smirk. "If your crazy-ass ideas are the voice of reason, I can't believe you and your friends have lasted this long." He shook his head. "Someone needs to talk some sense into you guys." "I don't need sense. Just luck." The threshold to the lobby loomed ahead. With one last look over my shoulder, I blew a kiss in his direction. "Wish it for me."

Myths Become Reality (Even Though You Don't Want Them Too) by Erin8877

Everyone was born with a power, you're considered lucky if you get two. A group of four, called Clooless, were that lucky people. They were YouTubers, just having fun and messing around. Zombies were always myths, a story, a joke. Until, in 2034 a power plant exploded, sending a green, acid looking liquid down the streets of North Dakota. That's relatively far from Texas, except what the group doesn't know, is that the said liquid has turned everyone who touched it into zombies. Their power is, fortunately, taken away from them as they become brain eating zombies in the course of a week. Now, they are making their way around the U.S.A, slowly approaching the other states. And by just one week, enough people have been affected and have made their way into Texas. And now, they are banging through every door.
