action death dystopia fromtheashes thriller tournament

It had been a thousand years since an asteroid slammed into the Earth, wiping out three quarters of the population and mingling the Underworld with the Living. 
And now, a fierce war between Undead and Living broke out. A peace treaty, kept for nine generations, had expired, and the eight major Undead and Living camps were waging war.
History was repeating. Again.
In a desperate attempt to quash the wars, it was decided a deadly tournament would be held to decide on a missionary to send to the camps, to persuade them to sign another treaty and ensure peace. On their return, the missionary would be rewarded with gold and prestige.
There's just one catch- sixteen Undead and Living, would enter the Colosseum, where countless lives were spent. And only one would walk out.
Yes, history is repeating again.
"Ready to die?" she asked.
"Not quite yet," I said.

The Shelter by -space-child-

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.

Endogenesis (Endogenesis PT 1) (Complete) by LizzeMikkelsen

*Complete* In 2060, most of the world's population was wiped out in the blink of an eye in what would later become known as the Rapture. For the survivors living in the remains of North America they have more to worry about than a rogue A.I as the New Republic of North America pushes for control along the West Coast. On the other side of the continent, away from the constant war, the Hayter family live a relatively normal life in a settlement known as Haven, but they have another reason to fear the Republic. The children have a secret that their parents have made clear they can not reveal to anyone else, but they are about to discover the truth about their unusual abilities after their family is ripped apart.

REBIRTH [COMPLETE] by nialler9298

BOOK 2 After chaos destroyed, America fell into pandemonium and there was no communication with the U.S. After a pandemic crisis on the East coast, most civilization was abandoned near the Atlantic Ocean. After that, the world slowly began to fall to pieces and almost every country made a scramble to figure a way to make space travel easier so they could colonize a planet. But a new leader came out of the ashes and proclaimed they would consider the apocalypse a "rebirth" and proceeded (with his advanced engineering) to clear radioactivity from America and make it livable again. With the help of his crew, he builds a high security city and begins to build out past the east coast. Shortly after he rebuilds NY, he disappears and his advisor rises to power. He is a fair but cruel master (calling himself a Lord) and some people refuse to work for him. These people manage to escape the oppression of the Lord and live out on the wasteland that was once a great country. Some band together to make right communities and others rough it out by themselves, scavenging for a living.

Afterlife: Oblivion #Wattys2024 by astronomist

You die. Game over? Not quite. Welcome to the Afterlife Crucible. Every millennium, lost souls battle for a second shot at life. Forget everything you thought you knew about the afterlife. It's not pearly gates and harps - it's a ruthless gauntlet dreamed up by bored gods with a sick sense of humour. Your regrets become weapons, your sins are armour, and your secrets? Just ammo for your rivals. This is a no-holds-barred war where only the most devious spirits get to breathe again. You'll face nightmares that make Hell look like Disneyland, and opponents who'd sell their own mothers for a chance to win. Ready to fight for your life... after death? I sure as hell wasn't. There I was, barely keeping my head above water, when some prick decided to punch my ticket early. But let's face it - my chances of winning are slimmer than my ex's conscience. Who am I? Jane Doe. Just another dead girl in a sea of corpses... a junkie, a fuckup, a waste of oxygen. Or so I thought...

Save Yourself. Everyone for themselves. by monkeylovesmcdonalds

August 19th, 2076 "Welcome, Welcome to the 150th annual of The Survivors Tournament . You all may know the rules but we still have to go over them because we can so, suck it up. Rule #1-" RULES 1. No friends with any one - if you do your dead 2. Survive on your own - if you don't you'll die 3. Collect food 4. Collect water 5. Make first aide 6. Keep your group alive - two in a group if there is more than two then all die from that group 7. Don't die - maybe 8. Survive a month 9. If one dies from your group you get double amount of time, minus double of what you have 10. Win and see what you get at the end 11. You only will hear about your distract's death, you won't hear any other news till the tournament is over Same old shit that we have to listen to like, choose two people from each distract tell them the rules, then tell the rest of the distract when and where to watch the tournament. I thought. I turned to my brother who is two years older me and understands everything, been hearing this tournament for twenty years and still hasn't been chosen. I have no idea why he wants to go in the tournament like why do you want to enter you can die, then he just says "I rather die from something more real then boredom.", do have to agree though he makes a good point, dieing from something more real then boredom will be better. "The distract residents who aren't in the tournament will be right here when ever they wake up and start watching. We will be choosing a female and a male, you maybe that lucky one who gets to be in the tournament. We are going to do males first, and the lucky handsome little man is, Dean Baker." She said my brother, he did a little happy dance then went back to being all mopey. He stood and went to the stage where the one chick is standing. "Now for the females, that beautiful devil angel is-" she reaches her hand into the fish bowl, make circle movements, picked one up and said "Sammy Baker" (Short story - completed)

End of Days by katcarter571

"Trust you? Are you kidding? I think it should be pretty evident to you that we don't trust you." "Henry, I would like to speak to you alone." Cyrus says, now ignoring Nolan. My father shakes his head slowly, "if you want to talk say it here. I'm not going anywhere alone with you. Not until we have some answers." Cyrus doesn't budge, clearly not willing to talk infront of us all. "Alright, everyone pack your bags we are leaving in the morning, and we are taking that car. If you want to try and stop us, just remember you're the ones that trained us," He finishes, dramatically flicking the safety off his gun and holding it at his side. ------- In a world following its fourth world war, Mazlynn, her family, and a few neighbors survive the bombings against all odds.

The Golden One by clayarobey

Please feel free to contact me with any discretions in grammar. This was my first book ever written, so I expect there to be flaws and would love input. The earth is under attack by an unknown force, and humanity is losing the battle. John might just have a secret that could help turn the tide of this apocalypse. How can four unlikely heroes not only survive in this chaos, but save humanity as well?

Remember the Assassin by Shemuel99

Years into the future, the world will enter a war worse than any it has ever seen before. New weapons will take out tens of millions of people at a time. The aftermath will see the obliteration of almost every human. Five years later, those still alive are finally developing civilization. *** I wake up in the colony of Sentrus not knowing anything about myself but my name. I don't know how, but I'm able to fight. I'm able to kill. I try to fit in, but there are people who hate me--even to the point of death. I'm afraid and confused, looking for answers as to who I am, while at the same time trying to decide whether I truly want to be that person. I've been given a fresh start, but I can't tell if it's the best thing that could have happened to me or the worst. ••• "Best plot twist I've seen in long time!! Such a page tuner!" - Cyra Eden

Catastropolis by bradbeals

Poor Josiah. Poor, filthy, illiterate Josiah Mench. Not even Liam, the closest thing he has to a friend, can stand to be near him. But for these two, friendship of any kind becomes a matter of survival when pandemic tears the world to pieces.&amp;nbsp;Now, the survivors--children here and there, untouched by the plague--must hang together or die.&amp;nbsp; Catastropolis&amp;nbsp;is a book of endings. When a single generation is lost, the structures of society fail--utterly, maybe forever. But there are beginnings too, visions of what life in a new future might hold for those willing to fight for it.&amp;nbsp;It is here in this new, primitive age that Josiah finds his voice, and a new people find a prophet to lead them out of the wilderness. But it is also here that heaven and hell will contend for them first.
