Life in the City changes like the wind moving through its skyscrapers; you start your morning with a cuppa Joe at your favorite café, and end your night in a bloody shootout with a bunch of gangsters. You never know what you're gonna get when you open your eyes every day.

Roger knew this, which is why he tried to commit his life to one of the mundane. All he needed was a little bit more stirring in the quicksand to finally get onto dry land, and he could finally put his work behind him for good.

Maria, a shark in a sea of sharks, fights her own battles as she tries to secure a seat on the corporate elevator, maybe drawing too much attention to herself in her hunger.

CandyStore by EDENLIED

(A ROBLOX PRESSURE READER INSERT FIC.) For reasons that still confuse you, you took the lives of nine people. In an attempt to cover your tracks, you inadvertently sentenced someone else to death. You moved on for nearly a decade. You finished college, found a good job, and even had built a circle of friends. Yes, there were still things you hadn't figured out-you still lived with your mom, for instance. It was almost enough to make you feel... happy. That was until the pounding knocks of the police shattered the illusion of peace, forcing you out of the house in cuffs. Your mother watched in horror as you confessed before the police could do so for you. "My baby, what have you done?"

生存进化: 启示录 by Seraphinellaria

In a world where civilization has collapsed, monsters roam the earth, and trust is a rare commodity, one survivor holds the key to evolution." When [Main Character's Name] wakes up to a world ravaged by apocalyptic forces, he discovers an unexpected advantage: the ability to level up. With every battle fought, skill acquired, and danger conquered, he grows stronger in ways no other survivor can. But as his power increases, so does the attention from hostile forces, both human and inhuman. In this brutal world, every encounter is a test, every decision a choice between life and death. To survive, he must evolve - faster and more ruthlessly than anyone else. But when alliances shift and enemies multiply, he realizes that surviving the apocalypse means more than just leveling up - it means confronting the darkness within himself. Will he be humanity's last hope or its most dangerous threat? "Upgrade or die - this is the rule of the new world."

The Woodlands (#1 THE WOODLANDS SERIES) (COMPLETE) by LaurenTaylor3

Rosa never thought she'd make it to sixteen... When being unique puts you in danger and speaking your mind can be punishable by death, you might find yourself fighting to survive. Sixteen-year-old Rosa lives in one of the eight enclosed cities of The Woodlands. Where the lone survivors of a devastating race war have settled in the Russian wilderness because it's the only scrap of land left habitable on the planet. In these circular cities, everyone must abide by the law or face harsh punishment. Rosa's inability to conform and obey the rules brands her a leper and no one wants to be within two feet of her, until she meets Joseph. He's blonde, fair-skinned, green-eyed, and the laid-back complete opposite of Rosa. She's never met anyone quite like him, and she knows that spells danger. But differences weren't always a bad thing. People used to think being unique was one of the most treasured of traits to have. Now, the Superiors, who ruthlessly control the concrete cities with an iron fist, are obsessed with creating a 'raceless' race. They are convinced this is the only way to avoid another war. Any anomalies must be destroyed. The Superiors are unstoppable and can do anything they want. After all, they are considered superheroes by the general public. But not everyone sees them this way. When they continue to abuse their power by collecting young girls for use in their secret, high-tech breeding program, they have no idea that one of those girls has somehow managed to make friends even she didn't know she had. And one man will stop at nothing to save her.

You V.S. Mafia by scaryberry123

[COMPLETED] "Shoot," Joey mumbles, letting out a string of profanities under his breath. We turn around to find a group of men, all with guns, standing where we just came from, and they look pissed... probably because they were forced to run through this tunnel after us. "Thought you could get away, didn't you?" The man who I saw before asks. His husky voice booms in the hollow tunnel, reverberating off of the dirt walls. His voice sounds familiar, and a realization strikes me. It sounds like the man from my dream. I remember him holding a gun and wearing a blue suit, smiling evilly at me. "Leave us alone," Joey says, sounding dangerous and snapping me out of my thoughts. The levity of the situation hits-we need to get out of here. I look around for a route of escape and thankfully I see a light, literally, at the end of the second tunnel. I let out a small, almost inaudible, gasp and nudge Joey. He looks at me and I subtly gesture with my head to the second tunnel. He glances at it and immediately we are on the same page. His jaw sets and he looks at the group. The man speaks up again, chuckling darkly-a sound I will never forget and will be permanently etched into my brain, "You can thank your father for starting this mess." -------------------------- Liza was a normal teenaged girl, living the average life that an eighteen year old girl should be living. She had good friends, good grades, a happy family, a loving boyfriend, and an overall content life, seemingly having everything a person could ask for. However, when she somehow gets thrown into the mix and is in the crossfires of a brutal mafia war that she has no business being a part of, things spiral out of control and she has to do whatever it takes to regain her freedom. In this hectic adventure of gun fights, torture, bank robbing and intimidating mafia men, Liza has to face it all, putting her average life on the line in order to defeat the bad guys and go back to her normal way of living.

~•Flatlined•~ [Female V + Judy] by deadwordsx

"It only takes one night to ruin Night City.... " Night City, a heavily polluted futuristic city of California, built upon domestic violence, eddies (eurodollars) and drugs, it has been named the most dangerous place and worst place to live in America. Born into nothing, V, living in the harden streets of Heywood, a low income suburb outside the red light district, was raised by gangs that became family. Night City was cruel, cold, and hardening. In the year 2077, if you wanted to make it to the big leagues, you gotta start at the bottom and just pray you don't flatline. * * * * * * * * * * * ❗⚠️TW/CAUTION⚠️❗: This story will contain some mature themes and content such as but not limited to: -NSFW/$ex -Ďrug Abu$e -Violence (defs alot of that) -$uicide/$uicidal tendiencies This is intended to be an 18+ only book, mature audience. Viewer discression is adviced. And FYI for any Cyberpunk 2077 gamer, I'm still playing the game, haven't even passed 50% completion XD and I do not wanna watch playthroughs for full on spoilers. So this book will mostly be my version of the game's main story with some canon details. I'll try to update the book as I progress through the campaign. [Edit 2/28: Finished my first playthrough, Temp ending, will replay other endings and based book off those details.]
