Society is rarely built with equality in mind.
After the first recorded instance of an awakening the 1st of April 1925, and the subsequent attacks of monsters, the world began adapting itself to try and conform to this new status quo.
Saint, rank, lair, liberator... A whole new lexicon was created.
A century later the world has managed to stabilize itself. However, inequalities became even more rampant. Average civilians and mediocre Saints were left in the dust with no way to make their voices heard.
And retired C-rank Fighter, Benjamin Hosmer, laughed.
He was fifty-four, limping, and far past his prime but this reality pleased him. Finally, a good opportunity to get some fame and power back without kneeling to those dogs of the government.
Time to make some goddamn money!
Once he and his crew got out of the traffic...
...
They still lived in Houston after all.

[1] Apocalypse: Third Rebirth
What would you do when four men come into your life and completely turn it upside down?... All I wanted to do was hide away on my ranch with no one to bother me, but apparently, they had different plans. Luckily for them, this was not my first zombie apocalypse. If they learn to listen, we might just get out of this with our lives. If not, maybe I would finally be able to rest in peace. Li Dai Lu was born and raised Canadian in her first life. This meant that she was taught how to share, how to put others first and to keep the peace as much as she could. However, that all backfired in a spectacular way. Reborn in a new time and place, Li Dai Lu did her best to protect all those that she could from the zombies that were wiping out the human race. Unfortunately for her, those she rescued were not as grateful as they should have been. Killed by the very people she saved, she held her breath and waited for the calm, peacefulness of death. But the Fates were not too accommodating and our heroine woke up in her third life, a year before the zombie apocalypse. This time she would live life on her own terms, and to those that disagreed... well, she would have a few words for them. With four men at her side, she will shed the cloak of civility and become who she was truly meant to be. WARNING!!! This will turn into a Reverse Harem.

Zenith: Hero's Journey
"Do you know what every hero has in common? They bleed, they suffer, they save the world-only to be broken, forgotten, left to rot. Not a single one gets peace. Not a single one gets a happy ending. But me? I will end this cycle. I will give the world a better story-one where the heroes win, and finally get the ending they deserve." In the fractured world of Zenith, where divine relics pulse beneath the earth and rifts spill nightmares into the sky, fate forges an unlikely alliance to defy annihilation. Valen, a rare Pantheon from Corinthia, is gifted with the Hero's Journey-the power to relive and wield the strength of long-dead heroes. At his side stands Ashley, a Flameborn forged in discipline and duty, a steadfast protector whose fiery will shields her allies. With them is Riley, a charismatic Verdant whose humor and warmth mask a deep empathy. But their fragile balance is threatened by Nyx, an enigmatic Azrael bound by an unsettling connection to the very rifts they fight to destroy. Together, they must uncover the truth behind the rifts and the power hidden within their souls. Yet in a world where memory is power and prophecy a weapon, every step forward draws them closer to becoming another tragedy in the endless cycle of forgotten heroes.

Exile: The Book of Ever
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.Complete
Apocalypse: The Healer's Story
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to wake up in a body that wasn't yours? I can't say that I had ever given it much thought. That was until one night when a patient entered the ER where I was working at and shot me point blank in the head. You know, if he wanted a second opinion, all he had to do was ask. But that's besides the point... Some how, some way, I work up in a strange hospital with a woman that looked suspiciously like my mother holding my hand and crying. Over joyed to see her, it took me a few minutes to realize that I was no longer the 25 year old, successful doctor at one of the most prestigious hospitals in the world. Nope, I was a much, much younger... You might know me as the Healer, but this is my story to tell. WARNING!!! This will turn into a reverse harem where she does not have to pick. Mature Content, Trauma, and Vulgar Language on Board. PS. You don't need to read "Apocalypse: Third Rebirth" to understand this story. But still recommended to read it 1st, before this. For those who already read it... The "Ranch" you all looking for in that story will be explain here. Enjoy!Complete

Midnight Mage
In a world of supernaturals, I am something else. Ascension Day turned Average Joes into spell-casting savants, Plain Janes into glamorous vampires, and the homeless guy at the intersection of Sunset and Santa Monica into the alpha werewolf of Los Angeles. Unfortunately for me, my Ascension was... unique. I was struck by lightning and can't stop throwing sparks. For the last fourteen years, hiding has kept me safe from the government, while my uncle's magic has kept the public safe from me. Now, just when I've found some semblance of control over my power, my world turns upside down again. A terrorist organization has kidnapped my dad, thrusting me to the center of an investigation that quickly reveals my anonymity was only an illusion. Some of the most famous, dangerous supernaturals in the world surround me, and their agendas are as mystifying as my growing powers. My sworn protector is none other than Riven Thorne - arguably the oldest, most powerful vampire in existence. But even silver linings cast shadows; Riven has more secrets than I do. My name is Alfea Sullivan, and for better or worse, the world is about to find out exactly who I am.Complete
