------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conflict had consumed mankind for as long as recorded history goes back, yet the greatest tragedy arrived in the form of Five World Wars. Each one more destructive than the last, yet humanity would never learn from their faults. On October 23rd, 2077, the end arrived, not with victory, but with fire. Nuclear storms tore across the globe, cities crumbled into dust, and the oceans rose to swallow what little remained. Humanity perished, its monuments drowned, its legacy buried beneath ruins and ocean.
From the drowned world arose new species. Inklings, Octolings, and other marine-born kin emerged from the abyss, inheriting the planet humanity had ruined.
In the year 14,024 AD, a long-forgotten human vault buried beneath the earth has yet to be discovered. Life on the surface is about to change...

A life of Chaos - PART 1 - (A Splatoon 3 fanfiction)
As the 100 year long conflict between Inklings and Octolings come to a close, the New Squidbeak Splatoon does their final procedures... Or does destiny have other plans? This is 'A life of Chaos' by theoneandonlypsychic! This is the first part of multi-part series! Think of it like the Splatoon manga, each book is seperated into different plot points! This is designed similar to that. [FOR COPYRIGHT PURPOSES] I DO NOT OWN SPLATOON AND/OR NINTENDO. [WARNING] THIS STORY MAY OR MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR YOUNG READERS AS IT INCLUDES CHAPTERS WITH VIOLENCE. [TW] THIS STORY, WHETHER IN THIS PART, OR PAST OR FUTURE PARTS, INCLUDES THEMES THAT MAY BE TRIGGERING FOR SOME READERS. CONTINUE WITH CAUTION AND REMEMBER TO SEEK A MENTAL PROFESSIONAL IF NEEDED. I have rated the story Mature to be safe, as it includes chapters with violence. If you are in doubt, I (usually) use small descriptions of Violence and it is probably appropriate for young readers around the age 14+. But if your not a fan/ are not of the appropriate age given, I advise that you do not read this book. As for the triggering themes, please remember to seek a mental professional if you need it, and remember that I can help you in my chat book or my discord! Anyway... ENJOY!!!Complete

Alt Series: Legacy Collection (First Iteration)
'The Dual End of Worlds', 'Past and Future', 'The Elements of Earth', 'Darkness Rises', 'Dedf1sh' and 'The Collapse' have all been complied into the ultimate book, creating the Legacy Collection. With Alt Series being re-written, why not put the books into one and keep them all? Set within the Splatoon universe with blood, war, angst, fluff and so much more, our main characters travel to different timelines where they combat one problem after another and meet friends along the way. From sanitisation, to a world full of order, absolute chaos, or... places that aren't Inkopolis? These worlds could contain anything and what ever awaits them on the other side of their portals will definatlely be an adventure. This series of events in this book is (technically was because it is being re-written) canonical to the 38 Saga. However, this follows a different story, so you do not need to read it to understand these books. The 38 Saga however can be found on @Madyorkshiregal's page if you do decide you want a further look into the full saga. (Yes Alyssa did write this -Jake)Complete

Survivors of Alterna: Best for Last
Akikta, the last living remnant of humanity, outsmarted death; he's all that's left, which wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the state of Earth. Like the rest of Alterna's residents, he had a dream to see the world above. But once he escaped Alterna, he came to find the surface wasn't quite like what his predecessors foretold. After twelve millennia, life moved on and now the surface is dominated by evolved sentient sea life. To add insult to injury, practically all non-mollusks, more noticeably, mammalians, have gone extinct. Even if that makes him an endangered species, it does not deter him from his ultimate goal: to save a loved one who was thought to be long lost. With his only form of help being guidance from a mysterious man on a radio, Akikta will do whatever it takes to bring a piece of his family back and survive in this new era. Even if that means making himself out as an enemy.Complete
