Pure hatred that we know
 Over 50 years of war. The Anthro factions have taken over the planet, with one faction, the FAS, charged with capturing and controlling humans. But instead of protection, they subjected humans to cruel experiments and abuse. When one experiment went wrong, it led to an accidental transformation that created super-soldiers-turning 40% of the human population into powerful beings with enhanced strength, speed, and a height matching that of their Anthro oppressors. Three human factions now stand against the Anthro tyranny. Death Watch is the most feared. Their members are taller, stronger, and more ruthless than any Anthro, averaging 6 feet in height, with some towering over 7 feet. They are zealous in their hatred, driven by a brutal mission to eliminate every Anthro and reclaim their world. Unit 77 operates with a different approach. While equally skilled, they focus on stealth and precision, stealing valuable assets like advanced jets and naval ships from the Anthro forces. They move silently, leaving no trace and maintaining their grip on the shadows. Delta Recon is a specialized group skilled in reconnaissance and disruption. They are experts at gathering intelligence, ensuring that their allies stay one step ahead in the relentless battle for survival. This is the story of Nathan, a young Death Watch soldier, who embarks on an unlikely journey in a world consumed by war, where every day is a fight to survive and reclaim hope.
A Sniper in a God Forsaken World
It was cold. Very cold. 'How did I get here?' I pondered over and over. Here I was, surrounded by an endless sea of snow covered trees. All around me, I could see layers among layers of snow. I lay there, staring up into the sky, wondering what had just happened. I had died. Or at least, I thought I died. Synopsis: A 34 year old soldier Simo Shephard dies while in active combat, yet instead of waking up at the pearly gates, he wakes up in a different kind of hell. Read as he survives in a world of animal hybrids known as chimeras, and as he tries his best to aid humanity as they dwindle ever closer to a silent extinction. Will he succeed in making a foothold for humanity? Will he change the tyrannical ways of the world? Or will he fail, leaving the fate of humanity to the chimeras.
