Alive With The Dead
The world didn't end all at once-it unraveled slowly. Quietly. While no one was looking. Neve, a introverted 17 year old, was always good at noticing things. The way her neighbors' pets started vanishing. The way the news anchors stumbled over their words. The way her school suddenly cared about checking students for "fevers" but never offered explanations. Still grieving her mother and lost in the silence of her own home, Neve watches as the world slips further from normal-until the night the power goes out. Until the night she sees a man, gaunt and bloodied, standing in her backyard. Watching her. After that, everything falls apart. As cities burn and the dead walk the streets, Neve is forced from the quiet life she knew into a fractured world ruled by survival, instinct, and impossible questions. Who can be trusted? What do the revenants-the "turned"-still remember? And how much of yourself can you lose before you're no longer human? Alongside Jace, a guarded 19 year old, a boy with his own shadows, Neve walks a path littered with broken people, fading memories, and echoes of a past that refuses to stay buried. Her journal becomes a guide, her sketches a record of what the world used to be-and what might still be worth saving.. She meets people. She loses them. She learns to trust, and she learns to grieve. But most importantly-she survives.Complete
Into the Madness
The world we knew is no more. It's all started with a strange illness spread through sporadic means, incredibly virulent and deadlier than anything human's recorded history could remember. People exposed to those spore turned into living corpses in less than a minute, instinctively preying over the healthy ones with unsatiable hunger. Quickly overwhelmed by the situation, world governments lost control of the majority of their national territories. Whether by pragmatism or pure selfishness, millions of individuals were abandoned by those who swore to protect them. Authoritarian governments were established to protect the new elites and those useful to their cause. Fortune settlements were built all around the world by those who were abandonned, fighting for the meager resources left behind. Mysterious organizations rose in prominence, aiming to become the leader of this new world order. Amidst of this madness, a man going by the name of Aether unlocked the military system, a mysterious technology capable of changing the fate of the entire world.
The Veil ATLAS: Thread of Return
"In the ruins of Earth, silence became the first weapon of the apocalypse. What began as whispers in dreams soon tore through the minds of humanity, leaving bodies to fall like shadows collapsing into dust. Nine millennia later, survivors scattered across distant worlds struggle to remember the home they lost, and the voices that promised both salvation and doom. In a universe where time itself has become fractured, the fate of all realms rests on uncovering what really destroyed Earth... and whether it can rise again." The story begins in 2063, not with explosions or war, but with a chilling silence that spread across the globe. Strange voices crept into the dreams of humankind, luring them toward an unseen force. Then the deaths began. First one man, then cities, and soon the entire world collapsed under a plague of the mind. Nine millennia later, the legacy of Earth's fall still echoes across space. Civilizations that fled to new worlds look back on their birthplace as both a graveyard and a mystery. Legends speak of the whispers that ended humanity's golden age, but no one truly knows if they were divine, alien, or something older than the universe itself. This is the beginning of a saga of survival, memory, and destiny, where dreamers, wanderers, and warriors must confront the truth behind Earth's destruction and decide whether its fall was an ending... or the first step in something far greater.Complete
An Insurmountable Dawn
They say every ending is a beginning in disguise. For Dawn Pierce, that disguise looks a lot like disaster. When the life she planned falls apart, she's forced into a new one she never asked for - one that will test everything she believes about love, identity, and belonging. Because sometimes the life meant for us doesn't start with a choice. It starts with a collapse. (quick title explanation) (Describing a "dawn" as "insurmountable" creates a powerful, paradoxical image. It suggests that a new beginning or a potential moment of hope/clarity is, for some reason, impossible to reach, get past, or deal with successfully. As a book title, the phrase is effective because it is evocative and creates intrigue. It immediately suggests themes of: Hopelessness or despair (a new day that cannot be reached) An unchangeable reality or fate A profound challenge in the face of what should be a natural occurrence.)
Nightmare Horizon
The year 2050 is a lot different than some suspected. Well really it was since they are trying to rebuild their lives from the destruction of a virus. This virus had overwhelmed the earth and taken many souls. It has no name but most call it "The Reaper". Everywhere it goes, death follows taking people and turning them into monsters; creatures hungry for flesh. Many groups have lived through it though, two of them in a life long war called The Alternators and The Ambassadors. Once family, now torn apart from a crime committed in the beginning of what is now called hell. The Ambassadors stand as the cannibals of the world while The Alternators stand as the savors and pre-war soldiers of the world. The four ranks; Guard, Blade, Archer, and Sniper have kept themselves together for fourteen years and plan on keeping it that way. Though will the war tear them apart, destroy them all, or become a victory with a celebration of now end? Theme songs: Twisted by: MISSIO Come Back Home by: BTS Hall of Fame: The Script Louder Than Bombs by: BTS (this is on of the ending songs because it fits so perfectly) On by: BTS (the VERY VERY last song at the end of the book) Author's Message: I know they are two songs but at some point I plan on doing a remix with both. They both go really well with the story line. "Twisted" is pointed mainly towards the beginning of this book but as it gets to the end, "Come Back Home" becomes pointed mainly. At the very end, "Hall of Fame" is main point. No spoilers on what'll happen. You'll just have to read to find out.Complete
The Day We Left Earth
If we stayed there any longer, we would have died. Earth was no longer our home, but instead a barren waste land from which we had to escape. Its calm blue oceans were replaced by big empty pits, and the green grass which used to cover our planet has now died, leaving all ground we tread on brown. The sun was getting too close to earth. It was going to explode soon, meaning we would have to leave. Either that, or die on what we called home. Not everyone left, not everyone was saved, but most of us are here in our new home. It's a huge space station called 'Earth Resides'. All of us who made it here, though, refer to it as our last resort. My names Mia. I've been here nine years. And I know the truth. ------------ Project ConstellationsComplete
To The Sun And Beyond

And if one of them steps out of line, I am going to face destruction of the universe, and death itself. Because I am the sun. Better not mess up. •• This book is officially completed.

What Remains
You've been alone so long, you've forgotten how to be anything else. Cities have become graveyards, and hope is just another thing that gets you killed. You survive by hiding, stealing, and trusting no one-until Dabi chains you to his wrist and makes your fate his own. As you navigate the ruins together, every moment is a fight-for survival, for dominance, for scraps of mercy in a brutal world. But when the line between captor and companion blurs, you realise sometimes the only way out is through the fire.Complete
