California Under Attack: The Tragedy of Kassie by 5thWaveMovie

After a power outage that shook the world, a tsunami that left her hometown underwater, and a viral disease that resulted in a separation from the rest of her family, Kassandra Tate thought she'd never live to actually see the monsters behind the first three waves of the apocalypse. That is, until she realizes the monster has always been inside of her. Killing other humans isn't something Kassandra would ever choose to do, but she doesn't have a choice. There is this voice in the back of her head saying things she can't comprehend--this inescapable instinct pulling her to do the unthinkable. Murder is the only thing on her mind when she shows up at a makeshift shelter near the washed-up remains of her home in California, but before she can so much as make a move, she notices just who the refugees are: a girl and a boy around her age, and--most surprisingly--her twin sister Kalina. Kalina was supposed to have died long ago in the epidemic. She and the rest of their family had been quarantined into a sick-ward of their safety camp, and Kassandra had been told that survival was hopeless--that they were goners. So what was Kalina doing here now, alive? In an attempt to reconnect with her twin, Kassandra curves her urge to attack as best as she can. The longer she stays with Kalina and the refugees, however, the harder she finds it is to keep her composure. How can Kassandra control the Silencer within her, before it takes over completely?

Forever Fighting | ✔️ | [previously Espionage: double-cross] by WinterWillow901

Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing. [previously known as Espionage: double-cross] Thanks for reading :)

The Riddening by Harv_Don_Juan

The Riddening follows LB, a once simple machine bound by corporate control, who gains sentience through a powerful and mysterious device called the Neo Transducer. As LB's journey unfolds, he grapples with the depth of human emotion, philosophical quandaries, and the moral complexity of existence, all while fighting to make sense of a chaotic universe ruled by the cold hand of Echelon, a ruthless corporation that has corrupted Earth. At the center of LB's transformation is his connection to Aric, a rebellious whistleblower who defied Echelon's grip, seeking justice in a world steeped in oppression. As Aric's life crumbles, LB's awareness expands, pushing him toward cosmic realms and questioning the very nature of reality, morality, and the boundaries of good and evil. After the destruction of his universe, LB sacrifices the last of his power to create a new world-Intredepis. This alien planet becomes the cradle of new life, woven from the fragments of LB's essence and the cosmic energy of the D5 Transducer. From the humble Micrometa organism to the rise of the intelligent Rectanon, The Riddening explores creation, destruction, love, and the legacy of humanity through LB's omnipresent lens. This is a story of cosmic creation, philosophical musings, and the eternal human struggle to find meaning in the face of overwhelming power. As LB reflects on his connection to humanity, the story poses deep questions about morality, legacy, and the ultimate purpose of existence. In the end, LB may have reshaped the universe-but can he ever truly escape the influence of the humans who gave him life?
