The name Apex once meant something.
Now it's just a memory... buried beneath a world obsessed with power.
Eighteen years after the original Apex fell, the world has changed.
Every living being has evolved. Strength is everything. Worth is measured in power.
And the legacy he died for? Forgotten.
Born without evolution in a world of gods, one boy carries the name Apex-but none of the strength behind it. Bullied, discarded, and alone, he clings to the hope that power isn't what makes someone matter.
But when a shadow from the past offers him a choice...
Power, at the cost of everything.
He takes it.
And with that choice, a new legacy begins-
but not the one the world was expecting.

I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy
CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.

The Versions That Shouldn't Exist
They survived the tests. They escaped the levels. But the system never let go-it evolved. After barely making it out alive, Alyssa, Ezra, and Oliver crash into Level Four-an unstable, corrupted realm made of shattered simulations and discarded clones. Here, every room holds a memory that shouldn't exist, and every shadow could be another version of them... more broken, more dangerous, and more desperate to survive. When Alyssa comes face-to-face with a twisted version of herself-one who knows things she hasn't even begun to understand-she's forced to ask the question she's never dared to face: What if I'm not the original? As loyalties crack and reality begins to fold, they'll have to fight more than the system. They'll have to fight themselves. Because the most dangerous enemy isn't what's outside the door. It's what you see when you open it... and it looks just like you.Complete
The Beta Horizon: A Post-Apocalypse Chronicle
When the sky bled for three days, humanity thought it was the end. It wasn't. It was the beginning. Now the world belongs to them - the Beta forms. Monsters born from human ruin, constantly evolving, learning, adapting. Each one carries traces of what it used to be... faces, voices, instincts. Some whisper names they shouldn't remember. Survivors hide among the wreckage of cities long forgotten, clinging to the illusion of normalcy. But every safe zone is temporary, every light draws something closer. As the mutated world stabilizes, a darker truth begins to unfold - the Betas are only a phase, and humanity's next evolution may already be among them. This is not a story of heroes. It's about what remains when survival replaces morality - and how far a person can decay before becoming the very thing they fear. This is not a story of heroes.
