The world has changed.
Even though everyone knew they were destroying the planet, only few tried to stop it. The actions of our crazy, ignorant and selfish generation led to the deaths of billions.
There aren't many humans left, but some of us are still here, fighting to survive every day.
How is it possible that even now, when every single human being is in danger, we are still going to war against each other, instead of fighting together?
I guess it's human nature.

Feral-Hearted
When the Feral-Hearted started to pop up in the world, normal humans didn't think much of them. Until they realized that they all have special, unique abilities. So now, the humans tend to use them as their weapons, their tools, their cannon fodder. But the Ferals were once human themselves, they just died a horrible death, only to rise up again as Feral-Hearted. And now, they are done with being treated as lesser than humans. The humans want to claim the world as their own, but now, they must share it with those who have more power than their own handmade weapons. So war is inevitable... isn't it?
Fool's Apocalypse
Like the start of any apocalyptic tale - an asteroid was headed towards Earth - but did it actually reach its mark? That's irrelevant, the world's gone potty anyway. You're either a murdering maneater, human cattle in a meat market with your flesh on the menu, or privileged enough to avoid such terrors and thus are naturally exploiting those less fortunate than yourself. Either way, there's bound to be some fun in here... surely? Also, there might just be a couple of robots in here too - why not, 'ey? Fancy a look to see how I fare in a life like this? Then take a read, why don't you? If you'd rather pass on it, well... sod you! xxxxComplete
Enhanced
We have always been destined to rise above our already fascinating sentience; To evolve into something greater than we now are. Change is a fundamental essence of the reality we live in today, an aspect of life that has been here for centuries. A strand in our beautiful nature that we have learned to despise. As the saying goes, 'People are afraid of what they don't understand'. People tend to fight back against change and others embrace it. When the chance of evolution finally reveals itself to us, on what side will we be on? The side that chooses to let it soar the skies, or the side that chooses to use it selfishly? Humans are magnificent creatures, not because of their awareness of life. But for their capability to unite and divide themselves because they choose to do so. (This trilogy is dedicated to those oppressed by the violence and suffering that discrimination may bring upon them.) April 19th, 2020Complete

But who thought that...together they might witness the end of their world?Complete

The Everything: Integration (Sci-Fi Alien Invasion? Story)
Earth, our home. But... something is wrong. As the nature of reality makes itself known, watch earth react, and change, with fear, hate, progress, and love. To the grand events the universe has in store for earth. As the world changes, as the universe revivals aliens exist, but not the world ending kind. As humanity realizes... perhaps the universe is too good for us. --- A story within The Everything canon, a foundation to it. This is a passion project, and I'm still developing my writing style, so feedback is welcome! If you create fan art, I'd be happy to include it (with credit). I am not willing to pay for art, or new covers at this time. The current cover may replace if I get something better. Contact Me: https://discord.gg/6nWpaDNKhY
