The year is 2301. Governments have been disbanded. Towns have been evacuated and abandoned. Survivors do what must be done to live. Some sacrifice for their families, while others turn on their fellow man. Food is scarce. Days are hot. Nights are cold. Routine is all that gets people by through the day. But then one day that all changes.

System Reboot (Sequel to System Failure) by stormcause

The year is 3022. And although our world is a technological utopia, things aren't going too well. After the virus attack on the city's servers, the Glitches have been struggling to repair the systems while keeping the viruses at bay. And things are only going to get more complicated as old friends return, new faces are seen, and a whole new problem arises. Are the Glitches going to be able to band together and overcome the viruses like they have before? Or are they going to be too divided to stand against the next wave of attacks? And which side is in the right?

THE MAIN EVENT | Book 1 by rainixfreak

It's been exactly a hundred years since a nuclear explosion destroyed the entire earth, making it unable to live on it as the radiation would spread and rise quickly, becoming deadly minute by minute, killing half the lives on earth. Some of us got to survive with the help of the government which built an entire city that would protect everyone from the virus that appeared right after the radiation went away. The city was like a fortress, no one could enter and no one could leave...except the people executed who defied the government rules. But who thought that...together they might witness the end of their world?

Mirror Sky. Part 1 - Blissful Nemesis by pwkos171

The future is predetermined. It can't be changed. But who casts the future in stone? It's you, me, and every one of us. The iron grip of our fate doesn't come from gods or physics but from us. You are oppressed by your future self to walk the one and only road. Knowing the future changes nothing - this knowledge has already been written into your fate. Time travel is meaningless for the same reason - all your meddlings had also become a part of your fate before you even embarked on your journey through time. Could this strange duality of free will and fate be challenged? If so, what would it take? How far are you willing to go to change your dark fate? Is the risk of erasing the universe from existence worth your brighter future?

The Church Of The Dead by _ellie_wallace_

The world ended on January the 17th, 2041, when a mysterious phenomenon changed everything forever. All over the world, people began dropping dead. Although they never stayed that way for long. Stumbling through the remnants of society, the dead began to eat or kill anyone too stupid to let them get close. Robert never knew the Old World. Born after The End, his whole life was a fight for survival, just him and his stepmother living in an old house on what used to be a farm. But when a now aging Robert looks into the scope of his stepmothers' old rifle, he never expects to see a living human looking back. And he never expects to receive a warning; the dead aren't the only dangers that lay in the rubble of past civilization, and he may soon be faced with a threat greater than anything he's ever seen.

Anarchy on Earth by j623363

First, the video came. Just 2 months after is was taken off. The next day MeToob shut down. The day after that the internet stopped working. Then the power left. Then, came the virus. It infected everyone that came in bodily contact with it. Some of the ones who get it simply die off, but if you're unlucky enough to hold the infection... you become a heartless beast that will eat any flesh it comes into contact with. They will eat anything... even humans. Join Jack Smith, and his friends, as they try to escape the horrors of Union City, New Jersey and try to make it to the on Union Island before the last evacuation flight takes off. But as you may find that people become different in a crisis... And that could mean the difference between life and death.
