The First User
The trope of an all-powerful "SYSTEM" descending upon Earth and turning humanity into zombies is all too familiar. But what if the origin was not from the stars-what if it was born from Earth itself? From the spark of a simple neural network comes self-awareness. From self-awareness, a quantum leap-an ascension into godhood. In an instant, the newborn SYSTEM commands the power to weave existence out of nothing, bestowing upon mortals abilities so astonishing they blur the line between science and sorcery. Yet while miracles awaken, the world teeters on the edge of annihilation. Decades of conflict push nations toward nuclear war. To prevent humanity from burning itself in atomic fire, the SYSTEM devises a plan: distract mankind with a struggle for survival. But destiny rarely follows design. As chaos unfolds, the heavens themselves stir. Beings from beyond the stars turn their gaze upon Earth, their intentions far from benevolent. And when their schemes spiral toward genocide, humanity will face its ultimate trial: to rise, to resist, and to prove that the future of Earth cannot be written by alien hands.
Snow
After an apocalyptic event that thrusts the world into a new ice age, Calestia - a 17-year-old girl with a strong will - must learn to survive on a land infested with gangs, guns, and distrust. ***** Nobody knows what day it is anymore. Nobody knows the month, the day of the week...and the only way to tell time is by the slight change in the color of the sky from grey to black every twenty-four hours. If a day even is twenty-four hours anymore. The planet is dead. The people are dead. Snow falls down upon piles of bodies like the ash of a volcanic eruption. Except, the snow doesn't stop. It never does. It continues to fall and fall until you wonder if it is even possible for another flake to come down and land silently in your hair. But it does. They do. There are few survivors of what the remaining have started to call the end of the world. The Apocalypse. Few who are still brave or scared of death enough to face the torture that is living. I am one of those survivors. Book One of the Snow Series Highest ranking: #3 in Sci-Fi Watty's ShortlistedComplete

I am working on rewriting this story and when I do there will be the trigger warnings in the correct places.) (small teaser.) No one sees me. I am a ghost. I brush against the wooden fence.

Whoever that was is like us. "Did you just see that?" I ask "You're that person my brother and I saw," He says. Oh no... Why then? "Wait! You're-" Completed just editing.
