3.5 billion women have vanished from the face of the earth, and Brian Fanning is the key to getting them back.
One minute she's there lying beside you and the next she's gone...vanished into thin air. Yet, worse is to come as nothing remains of your loved one; none of her imagery or even her voice - everything wiped out like she'd never existed even though you know better.
This is the nightmarish world earth's menfolk and the male species of every animal on the planet now have to face up to as leaders unite and race against time to find the answers to the inexplicable vanishings before life as we know it becomes extinct.
In the midst of the horror is Brian Fanning a discredited psychic who believes he knows what may have caused the vanishings, and Professor Johnson, a world renowned astrophysicist. Between the two, the men know they must work together to seek a way of reverting Mother Nature's ire by convincing all opposing sides to put aside their differences for the sake of all life itself.

HIDDEN- Sides, Truths, Secrets
Rose knew she isn't normal. And neither was her family. Like which family force their daughter to live alone and change her house every single fucking year, definitely not a normal one. She wanted to find answers to all the hidden secrets kept by her family and she got the chance when one day, during her 'annual ritual' of shifting houses, a group of zombies attacked her........ and she met him. ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ "Creature?" "Well, it implies to all kinds collectively. Both of bright land and dark land. The world is roughly segregated into three categories. First where humans reside alongside hunters, second Bright land, where all the mermaids, fairies, Pegasus, etc. creatures of the day live and on the contrary, third, the dark land where creatures of the night like vampires, werewolves, zombies, dragons, etc. live." ------------------------------------But what she didn't know was she has inherited the curse which had destroyed her mother's life before and is about to do the same with her. ------------------------------------ "So I am not a human? I am half dark and half bright land's creature?" "And that's what makes you human. How do you think the first human was born? Humans are hybrids of creatures of dark and light. But the firstborn humans had superpowers. Power no one can control. But with evolution, most humans lost their powers. Some are still left, those are known as hunters, but their powers are nowhere as strong as the firstborns." "So if Damon found out that I am a half-half hybrid, he will kill me?" "Without a doubt." First I couldn't be with my mate because he is a vampire prince and I belongs to a family of werewolves and now this. Fuck my life....... ------------------------------------Complete
Ashes Of Tomorrow
ASHES OF TOMORROW When humanity burned, knowledge became the only fire left. Two centuries after the world collapsed, humans no longer believe in science-and science no longer believes in humans. The Decay Virus has transformed the Earth into a living organism: cities grow like flesh, metal breathes, and the sky reflects the pulse of out-of-control biotechnology. Among the ruins, Ryn Solas, a scientist awakened from a frozen sleep two hundred years ago, awakens to find a world born of his own mistakes. He once created a virus designed to save humanity-and instead erased it from history. Now, he must confront two opposing forces: Kael Drayke, the stubborn leader of the Survivors who thrives on instinct and hatred of the past, and Eira, a Hybrid creature who is neither human nor monster-the only one who might understand the true meaning of evolution. The three are trapped between the ruins of science and faith, logic and instinct, past and future-as the world begins to speak with a voice that belongs to no one else: the voice of an ancient machine that believes destruction is a form of salvation. At the end of everything, they must answer the same question: Does humanity still deserve to survive... or is it time to be replaced by something more worthy?

The Shattered One
This is an original work, so if you plan to offer something, don't. She woke up fractured, wrong, and forgotten. The world she once knew is gone, twisted by a cataclysm known only as The Fade. Now, forests breathe, light drips like water, and creatures mimic human voices with uncanny precision. Time bends in impossible ways, and raw emotion manifests into monsters. Nothing is natural. Everything watches. In this new, devouring world, a lake calls to her. The sky whispers her name. Something ancient stirs-something that remembers what she once was, before she was broken and buried. As she journeys through the remnants of a shattered reality, hunted by the very fabric of emotion, she begins to uncover the truth of her origin and the role she was meant to play in a world unmade. But some secrets are buried for a reason. And in The Fade, even your feelings can kill you.

The Veil ATLAS: Thread of Return
"In the ruins of Earth, silence became the first weapon of the apocalypse. What began as whispers in dreams soon tore through the minds of humanity, leaving bodies to fall like shadows collapsing into dust. Nine millennia later, survivors scattered across distant worlds struggle to remember the home they lost, and the voices that promised both salvation and doom. In a universe where time itself has become fractured, the fate of all realms rests on uncovering what really destroyed Earth... and whether it can rise again." The story begins in 2063, not with explosions or war, but with a chilling silence that spread across the globe. Strange voices crept into the dreams of humankind, luring them toward an unseen force. Then the deaths began. First one man, then cities, and soon the entire world collapsed under a plague of the mind. Nine millennia later, the legacy of Earth's fall still echoes across space. Civilizations that fled to new worlds look back on their birthplace as both a graveyard and a mystery. Legends speak of the whispers that ended humanity's golden age, but no one truly knows if they were divine, alien, or something older than the universe itself. This is the beginning of a saga of survival, memory, and destiny, where dreamers, wanderers, and warriors must confront the truth behind Earth's destruction and decide whether its fall was an ending... or the first step in something far greater.Complete
Lost In Lucidity
"Last night, I had a dream the world ended. Half the population disappeared, and unfathomable eldritch beasts shambled out of an unending darkness." In a world with no sun and bloodthirsty creatures roaming the all consuming dark, the only places still safe are the small compounds that managed to get walls up before all came crashing down. Now, life is simple. Stay inside the walls, and you'll stay alive. It's not relatively easy anymore, though. With no one for company but each other, danger lurking only a few yards away from their homes, and half of their loved ones swept away in a mysterious event known only as 'The Vanishing', the morale of the populous is at an all time low. It's only getting worse for some, as their cities that are supposed to be providing for them are failing to do so. Survivors Wesly and Valentine aren't content with this, however, especially since Val's mother desperately needs life-saving medicine that the city just won't send. With no other options, the two journey outside the wall to study the monsters beyond, selling the information they find to the city in exchange for their support. While dangerous, they manage the task fine until one journey out they stumble across a disturbing, gruesome revelation that reveals not only more about the city, but the end of the world as a whole. As the duo begin to pull on the thread and tangle themselves slowly into its snare, they begin to realize there's a lot more to this apocalypse than they ever could have imagined, and that the horrific beasts they've been studying might be the least of their concerns...Complete
