Decimation: The Age of Terror by AlexiosSalvador

The first book in the "Decimation" Series. An accident at a laboratory occurs, the Elite group called the Power of Powers have no choice but to reveal their secret to the public, Project Tripod, an experiment that was focused on creating the most powerful army of soldiers in the world, uncontested by anything else humanity had ever seen. The lead scientist was killed, and their secret weapon has now broken loose into society, and it's extremely dangerous. Unfortunately for them, they went too far in their pursuit for world domination when they created a hybrid creature that is mixed between the most superior DNA of an animal, greatest advanced robotics, and hyper improved technologically implanted qualities. Their new creation was far too powerful, far too destructive and insanely evil that it could not be controlled. These hybrids unexpectedly developed a conscious will of their own. They have also unprecedently grown their own unique abilities and powers by expanding to their natural habitat, which make them even more destructive. They are hyperintelligent, indestructible, uncontrollable, unbeatable, and unstoppable. Even worse, they want to be the superior species on earth and destroy all humans that stand in their path! Who is behind this and what is their goal? Are the hybrid super soldiers able to be controlled? Will humanity find a way to destroy them? If not, what will become of the world and humanity? In this thrilling science fiction story written by Alexios Salvador, explore the consequences that immoral and uncapped progression of warfare can have on the world. In this book series, humanity has created a weapon that is way too powerful, extremely destructive, and impossible to control, one with its own will and consciousness, a weapon with a deep hatred for humans. A weapon that wants to eat them for dinner and leave no room for dessert. The decimation has begun.

Countryhumans (GerPol) by Kitsunoli

This is a story that will mostly be centered around the human part of countryhumans, as you could already tell from the title. And I am "proud" to be able to present to you dear reader, this abomination of a kind. Of course with an extra package drama (just how you like it. ;) Am I right?) I also wanna give a few warnings before you start reading (Including a CRINGE- warning, for all of you who stumbled so far away from thier original track, they lost themselves so much they somehow landed here. My deepest apologies to all of you who now are stuck with part of thier memory being wasted on reading this, forced to live with it for all eternity.😬). For everyone else, who's grey brain matter has already been rotted over by shitposts and Countryhumans bullshits, here's the coup de grace you have all been waiting for (more or less). But before that, here are the Warnings⚠️: -There are gone be some sensitive topics, like:(generational-) Trauma; Mental-; Sexual-; Domestic- and physical violence; DID,PTSD(and other mental illnesses/disorders); Addictions ;Politics ; Philosophy; War and History; Discrimination ; different world views ; description of violence and injury and little smud. -The writing may have grammatical errors or/and be hard to understand at times. Since it's written in thirdperson some times, but in a way that it's personalized for different characters.(It's like the narrator switches personalities, depending on who he's talking about). -I also wanna make clear that this isn't gonna be the creme de la creme, since English isn't my first language and I am still 13. And also that of course I am not an expert in any topic so not everything is accurate especially not the political stuff. I also gave the countrys stuff/personality traits that aren't directly inspired by the fact that they are countrys. So don't take everything so seriously >:) . Now read my story! GOTT VERDAMMT!

Another Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy, and Thoughts of Christianity by SamuelGan

Why do so many people on this planet believe in a divine being? Is it even sensible to believe in one? With increasing progression in human knowledge of the natural world around, there seems little reason to believe in a divine being. With this, the pressure increases on both the agnostic and Christian to abandon their search for the answer. Yet on the other front, the Christian also begins to face the rise of old enemies that once plagued Christian orthodoxy. Similar to its predecessor, this book and its compilation of themed articles addresses the issues in the logic, philosophy and thoughts of Christianity from a layperson point of view. Some of these articles serve to expand and clarify the points raised in its predecessor, and some on completely new topics. Yet unlike the predecessor, this book focuses more on the doctrine and basis of Orthodox Christian beliefs and how Christians can apply them to everyday life through articles that are once again, academic, reflective, and argumentative. Just like 'A Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy, and Thoughts of Christianity', this book is the result of a single individual's search for God. It promises to be challenging and thought provoking for the genuinely open-minded and interested. Even so, the articles are at best 'arm-chair theology' and are therefore meant to be easily understood by any interested agnostic and Christian with a slow yet provocative push into the basis of Christianity and her doctrines.

Pieces of Me. by beautiful_wish

Hi there, how are you? I hope you're okay. Like the title says, this book is made of pieces of me, sort of like a diary. Each chapter has its topic, message and feeling. I write it as my life goes on, pouring my heart out, mentioning a lot of the past and situations I haven't overcome, voicing my struggles, wins and losses, lessons and pain. I hope this helps you somehow, I mean, if I'm gonna be posting my life anonymously on the internet I can try at least to help someone. Never forget, you are not alone. This is for you. Good luck :) *trigger warning*- please if you get triggered easily or are going through a hard situation don't read this book, specially the chapters: Puppy thoughts. The Need. -Sequel: Head High (on my profile)

A Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy and Thoughts of Christianity by SamuelGan

Why do so many people on this planet believe in a divine being? Is it logical to believe in one? There are so many claims by so many religions, so which is real and logical? Religious sects cannot even agree amongst themselves on doctrines, how can there be a One true divine being then? Why do Christians believe this? Can 'evolution' and 'God' co-exist? This book uses logic and modern day examples to explain the numerous questions that may flood atheists, agnostics and Christians alike. The first section deals with the logic of a divine being, the second deals with specific issues in Christianity, and the third section contains some of the personal psalms and reflections on things that a Christian might face and struggle. Each section contains a collection of articles, some academic, some reflective, and some argumentative. As society progresses in the direction of science and technology, logic and scientific validation plays an increasing role in everyday thought processes. In the scientific and logical world, religion, faith, and beliefs get continuously challenged. Many once-faithful Christians may begin to question their Christian beliefs, or get confused on the validity of the numerous doctrines and teachings of various Christian sects. Similarly, the agnostic is thrown into confusion amongst the claims of many religions and their sects on the 'Truth'. On the other end of the spectrum, the hard-core atheist begins to question the intelligence of more than 50 % of the world population that believe in some sort of divine being(s). The book utilizes logical arguments, and expositions of modern day examples in hopes to bring a clearer picture to issues dealing with a divine creator, the search for the truth, and certain issues in Christianity.
