Jacob Harken is a nobody. So why did they choose to save him?

Earth is on the brink of complete collapse. Nuclear war has all but destroyed the planet and what little remains is under the strict control of the world's military super powers. Jacob is one of many faceless soldiers who fight for nothing and he will die for nothing.

Until he is chosen to travel to Kondarr II. 

A beautiful, newly inhabited planet with a mysterious past and a dangerous, supernatural occurrence: The Pulse.
Jacob, with the help of the beautiful but deadly, Liana will have to fight for what they believe in,  in order to create a better future for themselves and their new home. Threatened by the likes of a murderous psychopath and the effects of the Pulse, the two must be willing to die for their truths. 

But what if the things you believed in turn out to be false?

The Pulse focuses on the true nature of people and the lengths that they will go to in order for those truths to be realized.All Rights Reserved

Infected Life: Outbreak by NAB101

***WARNING: triggers for use of violence, verbal abuse, physical abuse, and inappropriate language. If any of the before mentioned triggers engage you, please proceed with caution. Please refrain from inappropriate comments. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy.*** -NAB The year is 2027. Prices of everyday necessities, from food to gas, from toilet paper to healthcare, have more than doubled. The global population now peaking near 8.5 billion. It was now considered a virtue to be hospitalized, so long as you could pay the lifelong medication payments and stay sick. Just as it seemed society was ready to kick the bucket, something viral and deadly beat it to the punch. As the people he knew turned into sick, plagued creatures of death and his world crumbles down around him, Jacob Mason must leave his life as a quiet, middle school student behind and forge ahead a new life to protect the people he loves. But this is all just the beginning of a brand new, blood splattered life for him.

Elira by JunoSol543

Elira is on the run from a dark force that's been pursuing him from ages. When he is nearly captured by these people, horrifying truths are revealed and his entire world shifts. Will he be able to confront his fears and stop this unknown entity or die trying? - This is a story that's full of angst and takes some dark turns (at least I hope so), Elira goes by El, Ells, and Elli, as well as some fake names. He is at least somewhat aware of us, the reader, and acknowledges us often, that's why he takes explains things with oddly, making a comment or two about how he should've known you wouldn't know that thing. Idk I thought it'd be interesting. And by interesting I mean a chance to absolutely horrify you and gouge your heart out :DDD! But yeah I hope y'all enjoy, best of luck.

Post Plague Kidnapping - Published! by vblawnola

It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice.

The Pulse of the World by Fyrefli22

Brynn is a solitary scientist, living in the post-apocalyptic planet of Astra, where mankind once had free access to a fantastic magical force known as the Pulse. It was used for powering machines, both big and small, and eventually found its way into weaponry. Children even had a rare chance of being Pulseborn, gifted with the rare ability to freely manipulate this strange force. But, where did this magical essence come from? Just how far could the limits of the Pulse be pushed? From these burning questions, two opposing forces slowly came to blows. The United Liberation Front are a scientifically minded group who firmly believe this power should be continuously studied and explored for further usage. And the Council of Ironwrights are of a more regressive mind, advocating that this power should be used with caution and restraint. Needless to say, the Liberation was winning. That is, until revolution and war lead to bombs being dropped, and a mysterious side effect strips mankind of their magical power source, plunging them into a perilous and unforgiving world with little technology left functioning. It seems the only ones who can turn the tides are Brynn and her robotic assistant, Ariena. But who will help along the way? And who will prove to be the enemies of progress? Highest #7 in #wasteland

Cinders [Completed] by AHobbitPun

I'm standing in the gateway to the larger ballroom, almost too far away for my weak eyes to see the three figures that glide onto the stage. The King and Queen walk side by side until they come to their thrones, the Prince walking about five feet behind and moving towards the smaller throne to the King's left. The King and Queen sit down on their thrones in unison. The Prince doesn't. Even I can see the way his shoulders are bristling, a sort of confused wonder dawning on his face. And I would swear he is looking directly at me. //// Lee Collins wants to help her sister, Lucy. She has a vision of a future away from their dad, where Lucy could be healthy and they would have some chance of happiness. When Lee's only friend helps her sneak into the royal ball on the minuscule chance that an attending doctor would be willing to help, Lee ends up fleeing the party early, chased by none other than her mate. Lee finds herself locked in from all sides, desperate to escape the suffocating implications of a mate but frantic to fight for a future for her sister that she still believes possible. Working in the Royal Palace to save escape money is a terrible idea when you have a controlling father, but it's an even worse idea when the mate that you're avoiding is the Prince. //Marked Mature just in case for violence. general trigger warning. Some chapters may be triggering for abuse and anxiety//
