The year is 2050, and the world is a shadow of what it once was. On December 31st, 2049, a massive asteroid struck Earth, unleashing devastation on an unimaginable scale. The collision engulfed the planet in flames, erasing entire cities and wiping out 80% of all living beings. Once-vibrant landscapes have turned to barren wastelands, and the remnants of humanity are scattered and struggling to survive in the aftermath of the cataclysm. What remains is a harsh and unforgiving world where survival comes at a cost, and trust is a luxury few can afford.
The story follows 11 Smith, a man who awakens on January 9th, 2050, in the center of a massive crater-the impact site of the asteroid. Disoriented and alone, he discovers that the Earth is now a desolate wasteland, filled with dangers both seen and unseen. As he begins his journey, 11 encounters allies like 24, 42, 22, and 12, each with their own burdens to bear. Together, they uncover the truth about the asteroid and its far-reaching consequences. But lurking in the shadows is 3, a powerful and enigmatic adversary determined to control what's left of humanity. Joined by the ruthless 41 and 48, 3 will stop at nothing to achieve dominance in this shattered new world.

Among Us: Origins
It took me 7 months, but we're finally here. This has been inspired by my friends and I playing Among Us 600 years into the future, a company by the name of Innersloth have been promoted after an attack on Area 51 revealed that the government had abducted a child in Alaska. As 8 years progress, 11 different individuals uncover that Innersloth isn't as great as the media potrays them to be. Disclaimer: Every origin story told has had key ideas from the player. I didn't make the concept, I just did the writing. Over the past few months you guys have been great to me and this is my present to you. Some stories are also longer than each other but that's because the players just had more ideas to work with, so don't feel offended if your story isn't as long as others because I've put an equal amount of effort into each one. Because it isn't in chronological order, Time does jump around but in the end they all lead to the year 2820. I have needed to change plot devices but only for the stories to all canonically make sense. Enjoy. :)Complete

Avarice Blacksteel Book 2
Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.Complete

Stumbling through the remnants of society, the dead began to eat or kill anyone too stupid to let them get close. Robert never knew the Old World.

And he never expects to receive a warning; the dead aren't the only dangers that lay in the rubble of past civilization, and he may soon be faced with a threat greater than anything he's ever seen.Complete

Death Stranding: Lone Survivor
The battle at the Commonwealth was supposed to be their final stand. The group fought with everything they had to survive-but in the chaos of the fight, 11 witnessed 17's death at the hands of 3. Or so he thought. In the confusion, 17's body was lost, and the group moved on, believing that the last trace of their new companion had been extinguished. But 17 didn't die that day. Left behind, barely clinging to life, 17 was forced to navigate a world that seemed to turn its back on him. The once-promising new chapter of survival quickly turned into a brutal test of his will to live. With no allies and nothing but his instincts, 17 starts a solitary journey that leads him down a darker path. The world he knew is changing. New dangers are emerging, and the dead have evolved. As 17 crosses the remnants of old cities, abandoned roads, and decaying towns, he uncovers hints of an even greater threat looming on the horizon-something far worse than the creatures that haunt every step. He is forced to rely on his resourcefulness and determination to survive, but survival alone isn't enough. In a land where trust is a rare commodity, 17 meets new people along the way. Some are friends; some are foes. All have their own secrets. And as the truth of what happened to him during those lost days at the Commonwealth comes to light, 17 must make a choice: continue fighting alone, or join forces with others to face the new horrors that threaten to destroy what's left of the world. In this spinoff of Death Stranding, Lone Survivor takes you deeper into a post-apocalyptic world where survival is more than just living-it's about finding meaning in a life when everything else has crumbled. 17's journey will test his courage, his humanity, and his desire for vengeance. But no matter what, he must face the truth: in a world where everything is lost, there may be nothing left but the dead.Complete

Mankind devoured - BOOK 1
Hello, Logan here. It is 2021, and this is the first book that I ever wrote. It's shit. I'm publishing it back on Wattpad again so my friend can read it. It is unedited and as I left it in 2017. I am currently published with three books out, and this is so funny to look back on. Enjoy reading my shittest work to date. Lots and lots of love, Logan Beadnell-Davies The overarching theme for this first book is a theme of rage and hatred. In the words of a great philosopher; there is no limit to the gruesome and grotesque things we are willing to do in the name of survival. While reading this; Remember that not everything is as it seems. Remember that loved characters will die. Remember that the world will gradually get worse as the parts go on. Take a moment to ask yourselves these questions: What would you do in the name of survival? Would you steal to survive? Would you kill to survive? Would you lose your mind to survive? If you lost your mind, do you think you'd kill more, steal, injure, backstab, rape or any other atrocity you can think of? If you can think of it, then maybe you would. The characters and situations in this book are very real, if gore or horrific mental images scare you, then I wouldn't recommend reading far. DESCRIPTION: The Infection claimed the lives of over 3 billion people before the TV's went off. But it would claim many more. The problem didn't arise when those people got up and started walking again, or even when they started eating and infecting others, it began when people got desperate. In this new world, the true evil that humans are capable of gradually becomes more apparent, and a part of everyday life. Normality doesn't exist, people don't help other people. Friends aren't a thing anymore. All anyone truly has is themselves, and the burdens they carry.Complete

Stay Alive!
The world had never seen such chaos. It started subtly, whispers of a new virus spreading in distant corners of the globe. At first, it seemed like just another outbreak, contained by the swift response of medical teams and governments. But then, it mutated. What began as a simple infection quickly spiraled into an unstoppable pandemic, turning friends, family, and neighbors into mindless, ravenous creatures. As cities fell into darkness and society crumbled, the survivors were left to navigate a world teetering on the brink of extinction. Among them, a disparate group of individuals emerged, each with their own story of loss, survival, and hope. Little did they know that their paths would converge in the fight for humanity's future, as they faced not only the undead hordes but also the darkest aspects of human nature. In the midst of despair, a glimmer of resilience flickered-a determination to defy the odds and reclaim what was lost. But as the sun set on civilization, casting long shadows over a world forever changed, the question remained: would they emerge victorious, or would they become just another footnote in the annals of history?
Scarcity
By 2057, Earth will be a shadow of its former self. Decades of unbridled consumption and climate negligence have left the earth almost desolate. Water, oil, and lush land are relics of the past, valued more than money. All nations have collapsed under the weight of famine, disease, and internal upheaval, leaving only two superpowers: the United States and Russia. They were once reluctant allies but now find themselves embroiled in a deadly, global fight for the planet's few remaining resources. While the population fights to survive in enormous urban wastelands, both regimes use advanced technologies and covert tactics in a desperate push for absolute dominion. During the pandemonium, 17-year-old Caleb Morrow, a scrappy survivor from the ruins of Canada, is conscripted into the US military. Meanwhile, on the other side, Elena Morozova, an 18-year-old Russian conscript hailing from the ruins of Norway, ascends the ranks in the Russian military. As this conflict between the 2 last countries left spirals out of control, the past suddenly begins to rise from the ashes leaving questions to arise in the thoughts of many soldiers on both sides including Caleb and Elena that, if answered, reveals a dark and unsettling truth. Scarcity is a story of curiosity, critical thinking, corruption, and trust in a collapsing world. Make sure to keep your rifle tight as you explore a dark truth... *This story includes mature themes such as: war crimes and heavy violence* *Perspectives will continuously shift between characters in this story* *All pictures are not real sketches*Complete
