In a world where sunlight is no longer a source of life, but a threat to survival.
Generations after the Great Scorching, humanity has been divided between those who embraced the Bio-Order and its promise of rebirth through light, and those who refused to change-the Burrowers, forced to live beneath the earth and branded as impure.
Liora, a sharp-tongued survivor of the Burrows, has never seen the Sun. She knows it only through stories, warnings, and the dreams she keeps to herself.
But when her younger brother, Ralf, ventures to the surface in pursuit of that dream, Liora is forced to follow.
What awaits her above is nothing like the world she imagined.
Hunted by the Bio-Order's Radiant Guards and shadowed by a soldier named Nathan, Liora finds herself caught between fractured factions, buried truths, and a world where propaganda has become indistinguishable from reality.
To find her brother, she will have to venture where no Burrower dares to go.
Into the open.
Under the Bleeding Sun.

When the world ended, she ran. When she stopped running, she found him. In the aftermath of a failed experiment that turned cities into wastelands, Ray - the first and only human hybrid to escape the Old Town laboratories - has lived her life on the edge of survival. Haunted by memories she can't escape, she hides from the past that made her and the monsters it left behind. Then she meets Veynir, a man caught between life and death - immune to every virus, half-human, half-zombie, yet more human than anyone she's ever known. Together, they uncover the truth buried beneath the ruins and the reason the world truly fell. As they fight to protect a growing community of survivors, Ray and Veynir's bond deepens - love rising from the ashes of the old world. But in a land where science has no mercy and the dead still whisper through static, peace never lasts for long. Some creations were never meant to die. Some hearts were never meant to stop beating. And sometimes, the end of the world is just the beginning..

"For a place called Paradise City, this island sucks. I don't think a single day has gone by that I haven't thought about stabbing the shit out of myself," he said. "Especially since I'm forced to live with you every second of every day." "Sh. I'm trying to science," I said, not looking up from my binoculars. "See anything interesting?" "Not really. My vision's a little clouded from the fog and rain clouds you constantly emit." He laughed. "You never fail to amuse me, Rea." "But you just said-" "I just said you make me want to stab myself. Interpret that however you'd like." With a love for whales and all life (besides maybe humans), Reagan Winebrenner had never even seen an ocean until her senior year in high school.

Lunar Virus ✔️
Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!

Biodroid: Dawn of a New Age
After the last world war shattered the calendar and erased borders, humanity's only hope was unity. On a scarred Earth, survivors rebuilt not just with tools and machines, but with fragile trust. From the ruins, a new kind of life emerged: biodroids-living constructs, born of lost science and desperate hope, who became both partners and mirrors to the people who shaped them. But peace is never simple. As old ambitions rise in the shadows, the line between protector and oppressor blurs. In the heart of a settlement that refuses to surrender, a new generation of humans and biodroids must confront not only the threat of conquest, but the mysteries within themselves. Bound by a connection deeper than flesh or code, they will discover that true strength is not found in circuits or steel, but in the courage to trust, to change, and to stand together when the world demands they stand apart. In a world where instinct and will collide, and where the greatest battles are fought within, the dawn of a new age is not just survival-it is awakening.
