***Author's note***
I have never served in the armed forces and am solely going off limited knowledge through research of various mediums. I have nothing but the utmost respect in those who serve and don't claim to actually known what it is like to go through what these brave men and women do everyday. This book is merely realistic FICTION and for simply entertainment. My written work here does not guarantee fact to be represented here or opinions or thoughts of others. I hope above all you enjoy it.

Storm Of Pain
Have you ever seen your life flash before your eyes? Seen all the good memories with you and your friends and loved ones just pass in a few split seconds before the moment comes where you know you'll die? Where you determine if it's going to be a quick or slow and painful death? Well then, same. I risk my life on a daily bases saving others, strangers, kids, families, anyone my team and I can help ranging from terrorist attacks to bombs to pretty much anything. The training that I received a few years ago allows me to do that, it allows me to be the best person that I can be, if I could go back to the day I joined the military I wouldn't change a single thing; the only thing I would've changed in my journey is to have looked after her better. To have kept her safe. But life had other plans with both of us... ***** All ideas in this book are thought of by me. Nothing has been based of another book.

Death Stranding: Lone Survivor
The battle at the Commonwealth was supposed to be their final stand. The group fought with everything they had to survive-but in the chaos of the fight, 11 witnessed 17's death at the hands of 3. Or so he thought. In the confusion, 17's body was lost, and the group moved on, believing that the last trace of their new companion had been extinguished. But 17 didn't die that day. Left behind, barely clinging to life, 17 was forced to navigate a world that seemed to turn its back on him. The once-promising new chapter of survival quickly turned into a brutal test of his will to live. With no allies and nothing but his instincts, 17 starts a solitary journey that leads him down a darker path. The world he knew is changing. New dangers are emerging, and the dead have evolved. As 17 crosses the remnants of old cities, abandoned roads, and decaying towns, he uncovers hints of an even greater threat looming on the horizon-something far worse than the creatures that haunt every step. He is forced to rely on his resourcefulness and determination to survive, but survival alone isn't enough. In a land where trust is a rare commodity, 17 meets new people along the way. Some are friends; some are foes. All have their own secrets. And as the truth of what happened to him during those lost days at the Commonwealth comes to light, 17 must make a choice: continue fighting alone, or join forces with others to face the new horrors that threaten to destroy what's left of the world. In this spinoff of Death Stranding, Lone Survivor takes you deeper into a post-apocalyptic world where survival is more than just living-it's about finding meaning in a life when everything else has crumbled. 17's journey will test his courage, his humanity, and his desire for vengeance. But no matter what, he must face the truth: in a world where everything is lost, there may be nothing left but the dead.Lengkap
The Stavesons: A CH Story
Aaron Staveson (Aka Ame) at the age of 7 was forcefully drafted amongst other children into a war against monsters. After 2 years of bloodshed and determination, he was able to end the war... or did he? The war was officially over, at the cost of many lives, and for Aaron, his legs. However, monsters are still lurking, and the biggest monster of all is after Aaron. Now it's much more intense for him because he is now a father. He decides to pack up his family of 31 kids (yes he has that many) and head back to the home he was once taken from: United City, home of the Representatives. As he reunites with long lost friends and family it all seems to be a happy ending, but is it truly a happily ever after? Or will the monsters take everything from him once again? And for good. I made this book 5 years ago in a notebook. There has been some heavy editing done to make the book more understandable and how I want things to go! Happy Cringing! BTW there's gonna be extra content in this as well so it's not all suffering ig-Lengkap

Marks
I am going to be making an entirely new book based on this same plot and similar characters... But I will not be a literal child when writing it. Hopefully it's much better lol. _________________________________ Book 1 of the Marks series! _________________________________ What if you fainted, and the place you left, the place you remember, is long gone? Instead you're stuck fighting for your life with the help of your classmates, who all remember everything. But you don't. Ava's twin is hiding something from her, and her best friend isn't the same person she remembers. Her school has been turned into some sort of military base and everyone is in uniform. She hasn't seen any adults, and half of her friends aren't around. What's going on? _____________________________ "I just want to know why. That's it. Why did all these people have to die? Why is it that people had to lose almost everyone they loved in one day? Why? It just doesn't- It isn't-" Dawson sank to his knees and put his head in his hands, his shoulders shaking violently. A sob left his lips, the agonizing sound pulling at my heartstrings. "Why is it that people change? That I'll never get to see..." His voice dragged away into the silent air. Everyone was long gone, having left after the ceremony. Dawson stayed where he was, silent tears running over his fingers and to the ground as his body shook with the force of his cries. ________ This book is based off of my friend Ava's dream.Lengkap

Humanity Endures
Desperation, ideals, greed, and hope - they all have a role to play in tearing the galaxy apart. The human race finds itself at the precipice; a mysterious, monstrous force threatens everything in the cosmos, and all the while, the unity of humanity's Empire threatens to shatter just when it is needed most. Never before has extinction been so tangible a possibility, and never before has exceptional courage, intellect, and luck been more needed. This is a story about more than just people, their ambitions, and their conflicts: it is a story about crisis, set in a universe where survival, for any side, and for anyone, may be impossible. It remains to be seen if the popular patriotic saying, "Humanity endures," will remain true - even for a week. -- If you wish you purchase a paperback version of this novel, you can do so on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Humanity-Endures-Evan-Peter-Armstrong/dp/B08P8QK86H.

Falling For a Hitman (Hitman Series Pt. 1)
The second I saw him I just knew my world was going to be turned upside-down. There was no way I was making it out of this bar without him by my side. But, he surprised me by not being a like every other guy I have ever met. His sky blue eyes pulled me in, that lip ring he's always messing with made my insides squeeze. When I found out what his career was I was crushed. Where does this leave me? I've seen my fair share of everything being an SEAL, the best sniper in at least the US. Now I'm an undercover Hitman working for a backdoor of the government. Nobody knows my name. I don't have room for distractions. One distraction, people die. Her candy apple green eyes were unlike any thing I have ever seen, and that's saying a lot. The things this woman did to me with just one look made me want to walk away from the one thing I loved the most. Worst thing, I can't tell her anything about the strides I've made in my career, yet she's the only one I want to know everything. That makes any chance of us dangerous.Lengkap
