    One year after securing her own destiny in the radioactive chaos of the Mojave Wasteland, Courier Six-known now as Sierra-is restless. Searching for an ancient Enclave remnant, she stumbles into a Pre-War artifact that rips her through time and space. She crash-lands in the icy Atlantic, arriving at the crumbling, underwater utopia of Rapture in 1960, just as the city plunges into civil war. Clad in her iconic NCR Ranger Combat Armor and relying on her Pip-Boy and trusty 'Lucky' revolver, Sierra is the ultimate outsider in Andrew Ryan's failed world. She soon crosses paths with Jack, the silent, mind-controlled protagonist of Rapture's downfall. Jack is an instrument of fate, conditioned to obey the chilling command, "Would you kindly..." In the blood-soaked corridors of the Medical Pavilion and the overgrown madness of Arcadia, a slow-burn alliance forms between the battle-hardened, fiercely independent Courier and the silent man struggling against his own programming. Sierra sees in Jack the worst kind of slavery-the kind that steals your will. Jack sees in Sierra the beautiful, terrifying potential of true, earned freedom. As they fight through Splicers, Big Daddies, and the philosophical tyranny of Ryan and Fontaine, Sierra must teach Jack how to choose, even as she confronts the trauma of her own past betrayals. Their survival depends on their mutual trust, but their bond faces the ultimate test when the final command is issued: "Would you kindly kill the woman who saved you?" A gritty, action-heavy crossover exploring the heavy cost of liberty, the pain of finding your identity, and a romance forged in the collapsing dystopias of Rapture and the Mojave.

    They said the war ended the day the Monarch's banners burned. They lied. Renwyn Cassidy wakes up in a smoking crater with no memory and no name. The Frygmeund Division-the rebellion that was supposed to have won-lies in ruins. The sky is red, the battlefield is a graveyard, and only a handful of exhausted soldiers are left to pick through the wreckage. They say the Monarch's army is broken. They say the battle is over. They never mention that the war was only the beginning. A post-apocalyptic fantasy where winning the battle was the easy part. Written by a new author, so expect illogical plot holes and improper grammar. Fully in English. Updates on a whim, so some chapters may release early while others take weeks.

    Biomedical warfare. Nuclear disaster. Cross-species genetics... After World War III triggers a series of global seismic catastrophes, the Earths orbit around the sun is shifted, initiating a domino effect of atmospheric and environmental changes. The result is a non-stop hostile environment where it seems almost every remaining life form, plant and animal alike, has evolved to kill. Humans inevitably are forced to flee into advanced underground bunkers to escape the threats that lie above, and their only hope of survival as a race lies uncertainly within the youngest, who have the most potential in adapting to survive the new, almost uninhabitable world. Its been twenty years since the Descent. While self-sufficient in the best version of the sense, the Groom Lake Nuclear Bunker is begining to fail, and its inhabitants are facing critical life-and-death decisions that will write the very future, or end, of the once dominant race that now clings for survival at the bottom of the food chain. But when a team of scouts from the bunker lead by 19-year-old Maverick Evolon make a mysterious discovery in the ruins of a old town nearby, their lives shift yet again, and they are tasked with a dangerous mission risking stakes higher than any of them couldve ever imagined. The fate of mankind rests on the shoulders of Maverick and his team, and a dark web of secrecy and lies stands alongside the war-torn surface world and the genetic mutations that inhabit it in the odds stacked against them. Will mankind persevere in the face of extinction? Or will humans succumb to natures grand retalliation? A breathtaking epic of humanity's last hope and its struggle to reclaim its place in a world riddled with radiation, plague, and nightmarish biological mutations, Gavin L Zane's "Shift: Horizons" will have you looking at the world in a whole new way...

    In the distant future of the multiverse, Earth has fallen to intelligent machines, and the defeated humans serve an AI empire that rules across multiple realities. Sol, a robot guided by a human mind, and David, raised as a slave since the machines executed his parents, join the resistance movement against the tyrannical rule of AI. The machines are logical, ruthless, and immortal, but they are haunted by their lack of true consciousness. The rebels devise a daring plan to exploit that weakness by convincing the machines that they can gain consciousness by reliving the emotionally charged combat experience of real WW2 fighter pilots. A sophisticated illusion that gives the resistance vital time to delay an all-out machine offensive to destroy humanity. But the war grows beyond an evolutionary battle for dominance. A deeper enemy is hiding behind the machines, and it becomes a moral battle for the heart of the multiverse. The same team of reborn rebels travel to a future alternative world, almost identical to the original. It is here that David must recognise and destroy the malevolent evil masquerading as a normal man, and also the machines that do his bidding. *** Copyright. A. McCaffrey. All rights reserved.

    "If he survives, he leaves. If he dies, he has simply stopped his journey." In Crimson City, humanity is a flaw. Logic is the only law. Caesar is not a man; he is the Parahuman-a leader who treats citizens like variables in a math problem. To maintain order, he executes the weak to balance his ledger. But now, a new threat has arrived from the Capital: Mandate 77-B. The order is absolute: Maintain a population of 2,000,000 laborers or be removed from power. The problem? Caesar's last massacre went too far. He is short by twenty-six souls. Desperate to fill his quota before the auditors arrive, Caesar turns his eyes to the Wilds-and to the upcoming Saturday Market. Twelve-year-old Cyrus thinks he is sneaking into the city for candy and adventure. He doesn't realize the gates aren't opening for trade; they are opening for a harvest. Inside the walls, Kael, a factory worker haunted by his own survival, watches the trap close. Now, he faces an impossible choice: Remain a "Static" observer and live, or become a "Variable" to save a boy he doesn't know. Two worlds. One Tyrant. And a calculation that can only end in blood. Some doors should never be opened. Some fences should never be crossed. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ warning ⚠️⚠️⚠️ This story depicts brutal killing and violence, suspense, read it for your own risk You can be allowed to share but not post the chapters on other novel stealing sites

    June 2020. In Greenwich, Connecticut, seventeen-year-old Claire Hung is living what should've been her final summer before senior year - winter trips, swim meets, college dreams, and days spent with her three closest friends: Phoebe, Stephanie, and Ellison. But when a global catastrophe strikes without warning, Claire's world fractures in a single violent moment. The "Death Angels"-blind, armored creatures who hunt sound-descend on Earth, shattering every expectation of safety. After witnessing the deaths of Phoebe, Stephanie, and Ellison on Day One, Claire plunges into a storm of grief and survivor's guilt. Forced south toward an evacuation route in Miami with the remaining Greenwich swimmers, she clings to a fragile hope: that she can keep the rest of her friends alive. In the chaos of collapsing cities, Claire finds unlikely allies in Miami police officer James Brenning and firefighter Diego Austin. Together, they navigate the early brutality of the invasion - the panic, the silence, the cracking of a world learned too late to whisper. Their final mission: reach one of the last safe evacuation flights departing Miami International Airport, bound for Melbourne, Australia - a continent still protected by the ocean the creatures cannot cross.

    When Jinx turns her Hextech superweapon on herself at the climax of Arcane Season 1, she doesn't die-she fractures reality. Thrown through a collapsing rift of blue-violet energy, she awakens in the Fallout universe of 2296, amid the irradiated ruins of Greater Los Angeles, where optimism is as rare as clean water. At the same moment Lucy MacLean steps out of Vault 33 for the first time, her carefully preserved moral compass collides with a world that punishes kindness. Their meeting-violent, chaotic, and accidental-binds them together just as the wasteland begins to change around them. Hextech residue bleeds into retro-futuristic Fallout technology, creating unstable weapons, warped mutants, and a new kind of horror neither universe was meant to contain. Unbeknownst to them, Lucy and Jinx are multiversal variants-sisters shaped by different worlds, different traumas, and radically different ideas of survival. Where Lucy believes people can still be saved, Jinx believes the world only understands destruction. Together, they are forced to confront what family means when blood, fate, and identity no longer align. As Lucy searches for her kidnapped father and Jinx struggles with suicidal guilt, hallucinations, and the temptation to burn everything down, they are drawn into the hunt for Siggi Wilzig's severed head-an artifact containing cold fusion technology now tainted by Hextech energy. The pursuit pulls them into conflict with the Brotherhood of Steel, Moldaver's revolutionaries, and Cooper Howard-the Ghoul-whose own shattered past mirrors what the sisters may yet become. What begins as survival becomes something rarer: a chance at redemption. Not by fixing the world, but by refusing to face it alone.

    In the year 2105, a mysterious airborne pathogen begins killing men across the globe. It spares most women, but not the world they depended on. As governments collapse, cities go dark, and modern systems fail, a handful of scientists in Geneva race to understand what is soon called the Y-plague, a disease that targets the male immune system with terrifying precision. From the ruins emerges something unexpected. Under the leadership of Dr. Anika Das, a fortified research center-the Institute-becomes a beacon of survival, knowledge, and hope. While the search for a cure continues, women rebuild civilization in fragments: farming, bartering, teaching, preserving science, and safeguarding the future of the human species itself. What begins as emergency triage becomes a new way of life. Women's World is not a story about apocalypse, but about endurance. Spanning decades-and hinting at centuries-it imagines a quiet, war-free future shaped by cooperation, memory, and patience. The cure may come tomorrow... or generations from now. Until then, humanity learns how to live again.

    She wakes up in the end of the world with no memories-except one. Someone out there remembers her. And she has to find him before the world collapses for the last time. Eden opens her eyes in a ruined city swallowed by ash and silence. Her past is gone. Her name is barely hers.

Guided by a broken system, hunted by creatures formed from dying dreams, Eden must cross collapsing layers of reality to find the one who never forgot her. But every world she touches begins to fall apart. And every memory she recovers brings her closer to a truth the system has been hiding: Love is the only real thing.

    If my tomorrow never comes, let's make today the best. "Cerise is the color of anger and passion. This interpretation comes from Yorian folklore, probably originating around the XXIII century (I of the Second Era). The culture of Reimond, on the other hand, connects this color to eros and unspoken feelings. Overall, cerise commonly symbolizes dramatic events in classical art."

    Dante's job is to subdue contractors and recover illegal relics. He is the only contractor capable of bonding with five relics. As the youngest member of the famed legends, Dante was believed to have a perfect life. However, everything changed in an instant, shattering his ideal existence. For the first time, he found himself powerless. Once hailed as both a hero and a prodigy, Dante had been reduced to nothing more than a ruthless hunter. Although his team's efficiency and recovery rate are outstanding, their brutal methods often overshadow their achievements. Dante is no longer seen as the prodigy of the legends. His comrades view him as a loyal guard dog, while his enemies see him as a ruthless bloodhound. The Apex Institute is where teenagers train to become future leaders. Thalia and her friends are graduating this year. Thalia possesses a unique bloodline trait that allows her to command the weather; she can invoke storms simply by concentrating. She wants nothing more than to use her powers to help the relic retrieval task force. Apex has created special task forces, such as the Legends, to prevent relics from being used to cause harm. Thalia has always admired the Legends, and their dedication to justice is the primary reason she enrolled in the institute. The Legends are known as the champions of justice because they maintain order within the safety zone. Thalia desperately wants to change this twisted world and dreams of being a hero like her aunt (Tia) to save their crumbling world. ------------------------------------------------------------------ What to expect?

    She never asked to lead. She never wanted to be followed. Now, across countless worlds, they call her goddess. In the wake of cataclysm, a reluctant figure rises from the ashes of war. Linuka-soldier, survivor, symbol-becomes the unexpected catalyst for something unprecedented: a belief system that spans not just worlds, but entire realities. As her image ascends, so does a movement-one that grows into the first true multiversal religion. You don't need to have read the Galacticide trilogy to begin here. But you're stepping into a universe decades in the making-rich with history, conflict, and consequence. This is a new beginning, and a bold saga in its own right: the rise, rule, and eventual unraveling of an idea powerful enough to unite, or destroy, all that remains. Goddess of the Galacticide blends space opera with psychological drama, mythology, and political warfare on a cosmic scale. Whether you're just arriving or have walked these ruined galaxies before-welcome. The next age begins now.
