"So, this is the story of how I, the greatest person in the world survives the apocalypse. Or at least tries to (who knows maybe I die at the end of the book?).
Anyway, join me on some crazy adventures across the end of the world! In a short summary there's a lot of pew pew's (guns of course), whispering, and surviving! I meet some people too! (You know for a fact some of them are going to die. It is the apocalypse, dummy.)
And maybe, just maybe...we save the world! Jk that doesn't happen."

(Excerpt)
"The infected" are something we knew before the apocalypse even officially started. When NASA was trying to find out a way to change the trajectory of the meteor they extracted samples from it. Later, they soon discovered how it would react with humans and holy mother did they create pandemonium. The information leaked three days before the big boom and truly, I would call that day the beginning of the apocalypse. Everyone lost their shit before it even began. I remember one story about a guy injecting himself and his family with bleach thinking it would make them immune. It did work actually. Because, they died before the parasite-rock hit earth.

A/N: idk if this should be in humor but idk where to put this weird book :)!

HELP! I ACCIDENTALLY SURVIVED THE APOCALYPSE
I got scammed by a gachapon machine and bought a confetti gun thirty minutes before the zombie apocalypse started. This would be bad enough, except I'm wearing short shorts, I have wet paper towel arms, and I've already apologized to two zombies I killed. Twice. Somehow I got adopted by the most terrifying college students on campus: an explosives enthusiast with a shotgun, a biology major with a fire axe, a parkour girl with dual swords, a philosophy major who won't explain her coffee hoarding, and a girl who might exist outside of normal space-time. Also my professor is grading me on survival. I'm very bad at this. But apparently I'm good at accidentally not dying? Join Bonnie as he cries his way through the apocalypse, maintains his modesty in inappropriate situations, and somehow becomes the world's most reluctant survivor.

Callidus Rising | Complete ✔️ | Book 1
[COMPLETED] •Being revised... AGAIN (Progress: Intro-Chap. 3)• "We're going back... Understand? There are more threats out here than we anticipated, and they're all after you-" Lukas' voice erupted into static and chunks... I glared at the man in all black as the light continued to beam and blind me. Without my glasses it was actually painful. And then there was silence. My bare feet hit the metal floor of wherever we had jumped to, and I put my hand up to shield my eyes from the vicious attack of bright light. Not again." Alexi Callidus is living in a post-apocalyptic world... In the 25th Century. The year is 2470. She's been surviving on her own for 4 years and 8 months inside the same building with her only companion without seeing the sun. 5 years after the brutal unexplained murder of her family. 7 years after the genetic disaster of "GASP". 7 years and 4 months after the War of Nations. Everything seems to be barren and empty... But if her super old sci-fi movies didn't teach her that looks deceive, nothing will. Technology, before "GASP" (Genetically Altered Soldiers Program) and the War of Nations, was insane. You could be teleported in the blink of an eye, or healed from a once fatal injury in days. With the majority of the population infected with a viral genetic plague, almost any of the survivors could access this technology... Including Alexi. When a simple quest for survival turns into a journey of a lifetime, will Alexi be able to survive the weight of the gruesome truth when she finally uncovers it? Will our heroine be able to fade into the background and live a quiet life of cunning?

Cursed Souls Blood, Brains & Rock'n'roll
This book doesn't contain any politics, religion or social topics. But thanks to this book, you can learn one little known fact - some zombies are good at making tea. It is unlikely that this information will have any impact on your life, but no one is forcing you to memorize it. Also in this book there is a Vampire, a Werewolf, the Order of the Unholy Hunters, explosions, one wide-boned man, "nuns" armed with firearms, a couple plot twists, and one very cocky Cashier in a store. And some blood. Well, yeah, it's kind of like a book. I just don't know what to do with it. So I decided to try my luck on the global web, because in my country not many people read books. So please don't get mad at me for "All your base are belong to us". English grammar is not my best skill, but according to my friends, I can tell some weird and, in a certain way, interesting stories. More specifically, one of my friends said "Great book!", another said "Not bad", and a third promised me to read it in the not-too-distant future. And in the end we have a verdict of "Not too bad". I'll be honest - I just want a gold-plated bar next to my pool in the form of a shark tank, that's all (well, maybe a pool would be nice to have first). But anyway, I'd love to hear your opinions. I'll translate as fast as I can (remember I have a job and can only translate in my free time). So if you already hate me for this amount of words, you're probably not alone. Thank you and I hope you enjoy this book. Or it will disappear into the digital graveyard (or the trash can).Complete
They Call Me Daring
Let's get one thing straight here, I'm not a hero (I totally am, but I hear that these days being modest is in fashion or something, so I don't know man). I never planned on being a hero. It kind of just happened. Clark's the bigshot. The fame, the girls, the attention. Me? I'm just his loser younger brother. Another rich Trackerson kid, but that quiet one with no personality. I'm kidding. I'm funny. I promise. I have to be. The name's Liam. The apocalypse wasn't easy on anyone, but it was harder on some. We made it okay. My family lives in a mansion, and we basically run this town. I come from a line of famous zombie-hunters. Not me, though. I kind of suck. I was never supposed to get bitten. I'm running out of time. I'm turning, and it's happening fast. People are rising up, feuds are breaking out, the world is ending all over again; and it's all up to me to stop it. Or something. Crazy, right? Anyway, I've got to go. I guess the good part is, if they find out my secret-if they kill me-at least not many people are going to miss me. I just hope they get my name right. L-I-A-M. It's not hard. Please, for the love of humanity, remember my name. Whatever they call me after all this, remember my name.Complete
Night Disease
REVISED EDITION COMING OUT MONTHLY/COMPLETED In a world overrun by zombies, A single bite heralds doom - except for Kaindra, who defies death itself, being undead already. ******** As humanity struggles to adapt to the new reality of zombies-infested streets and lurking supernatural creatures from ancient myths and legends, survival becomes an ever-evolving challenge. Survival is a constant battle not only against the undead but also against supernatural creatures and their zealous followers. The relentless onslaught of zombies and the mysterious reemergence of mythical beings push society to its limits. Civilization's last bastions fall one by one, teetering on the brink of collapse. As these ancient myths awaken, they reveal intentions that are far from clear- some may hold the key to salvation, while others could herald further doom. The question remains: Can humanity unravel the mysteries of these legendary beings in time to save themselves, or will they fall prey to the very legends they once dismissed? ___ Excerpt: Taking a deep breath, I lean closer to the mirror, my skin prickling. I thought it was a trick of the light, but as I stare at my reflection, my fragile lies crumble away. The reflection staring back at me feels unrecognizable. My once deep, dark brown eyes now glimmer with an otherworldly light, like twin moons suspended in a sea of silver. The faint glow within them swirls softly, catching the dim flicker of flame I summoned, like ripples across a moonlit lake. Their alien intensity sends a chill down my spine. The orbs seemed to hold a universe within, depths of endless mysteries and ancient wisdom beyond my grasp. ___ Warning: Mentions of suicide and self-harm Beautiful cover made by @scmimi.

Once Bitten
The dead do not sleep. The dead do not eat. The dead most certainly do not laugh. And the dead do not cry. 6 years have passed since nuclear war broke out, destroying the planet and killing most of the world's population. Different geographical regions have been affected differently, the climate mutating and transforming people into horrific monsters of all kinds. Now humanity must fight to survive amongst literal zombies, vampires, and horrific fungal spores capable of reducing even the strongest to nothing. Emily lives with a small, ragtag group of survivors, her friends before the outbreak occurred. When one of them falls ill, in dire need of medicine, the group is forced to travel to the hospital across town, where they discover something, or rather someone unexpected. Mark was a normal person before the outbreak, before he was bitten by his own father, before everything went to hell in a handbasket. Now he lives under the hospital with his trusty cat Buckwheat, hiding from the daylight and wondering why him, out of all the infected, has to "live" with the curse of sanity after his demise. A chance encounter leaves him wondering if maybe there's more to life after death. BOOK ONE IN THE 'AFTER LIFE ENDED' SERIESComplete
A Different Virus - Laura's Story
This is a second view point from my original story - A Different Virus - Heartfire. I highly advise reading the original book first. Intro: Laura was a happy child without a care in the world. She loved her parents and life was perfect. Nothing seemed like it could go wrong. People started talking about a bad flu that was spreading and sending some into a coma. Her parents grew worried and stocked the house in case of a pandemic. Months later another virus appeared. Her family was shocked when the news people started reporting that zombies were actually real and not just part of a horror movie. They were appearing in every country. Her parents reassured her that none of the zombie sightings had been anywhere close to them. Her life is turned upside down when her father ends up in hospital with the bad flu and mother exiles her upstairs for her safety. She was never allowed downstairs again. Weeks pass and the streets become deserted with the exception of the red eyed zombies that wandered around. One night she notices a swiftly moving figure with glowing blue eyes in the street below. Should she call out or remain silent? Is this fleeting shadow something that can help her or could this mysterious figure be even more dangerous than the zombies themselves? ---------------------- Ranked #1 Apr 10, 2018 (A huge thank you to all who read and voted!)
