    The world had already ended once in Raccoon City. Seven days ago, Agent Stark disappeared there. No calls. No signals. Only silence. Her father is a powerful man. Rich enough to shake governments. When the agency failed to answer him, the world heard his fury. Newspapers spoke of nothing else but the Lost Daughter. But money cannot fight the dead. So he calls the only man who has walked through hell before. Leon S. Kennedy. Thirty-seven. Cold. A man who has seen cities fall and people turn into monsters. The deal is simple. Find his daughter. In return, Leon can ask for anything. But Raccoon City is not empty anymore. Something is growing there. Something breathing under the ruins of the Umbrella Corporation. And the deeper Leon walks into the dead city, the more he realizes the truth... Aaira Stark was never just kidnapped. She was taken for something worse. Now Leon must cross a city of evolving horrors, each more terrifying than the last. Because if he doesn't reach her soon... She might become one of them.

    Ara, the only woman left alive after a plague, is searching for a way to save humanity. She thinks there isn't a man she can trust, until she meets Kaden. ***** A plague has swept over the Earth, killing the majority of the population and every female. Except one.

Now, desperation and hunger force her out of the mountains and onto a dangerous path; across the flooded downtown and through the gangs of survivors is hope. Ara's father spoke of a clue that could save not just her, but humanity. Then she is captured by a group of men. Despite the seeming kindness of Kaden, a young man her own age, Ara doesn't know if she can trust them. Then again, there's no way she can cross the plague-ridden city on her own. Men. Monsters. Is there a difference? This is the story of The Last She. (This book contains all of The Last She Series - Book 1: The Last She, Book 2: The Last City and Book 3: The Last Creation) [[word count: 250,000-300,000 words]]

    She couldn't escape. Not from him. "Let me go, Jack!" she screamed, her voice raw with desperation. "I can't stay here. Please... let me go!" His grip only tightened, and he stepped closer, pinning her against the cold, rough wood of the shack. "I told you, you're not running away again. I'm not going to let you keep running from me." The other two men-her captors-emerged from the shadows behind him, their faces as menacing as ever. The blond one with the rifle and the dark-haired one who had always watched her with a calculating gaze. They were all here. And just like that, she was trapped.

    The aliens kill every human they catch, or in rare cases, put trackers on them to discover their hidden villages. When Natalie is caught in an ambush, she is unexpectedly released. But there is no tracker. The Saursunes have an entirely different motive this time. *** Run. Don't look back. When Natalie is trapped in an alien ambush, she is unexpectedly released. The first human to ever be let go. The Saursunes invaded centuries ago, and everyone knows that getting caught is certain death. Natalie is confused but grateful to be alive. As a porter, one of the few humans with the rare ability to teleport between special crystal formations, she must leave the safety of her desert village every day to help gather food. When other villages increase their raids on the Saursunes' farms, the aliens retaliate by hunting down every human they can find - except Natalie's group. Instead of trying to kill her and those helping her, they bring them food instead. Is it a trap? Or something else? Natalie isn't sure, but one thing is certain: the Saursunes aren't done with her yet.

    When a single scratch means death, it is paramount you find someone to watch your back. Unfortunately, survivor Caroline Wolfe has never had this privilege. When the plague began to ravage the world as she knew it, she was left to fend for herself, forcing her into positions she never wished upon anyone. The plague broke out five years before, killing over 90% of the world's population. It turned those she thought she could trust into mindless, undead, monsters and creatures controlled by survival, not loyalty. Caroline was lucky to have made it out of Ottawa alive, thanks to the help of her childhood in the Yukon, learning how to fight and survive with more traditional weapons. When she finds herself trapped within the confines of an abandoned apartment complex in what was Caledon, she has to make a choice. Either face the undead alone or help the mysterious, accented, skull faced man she finds within and tether herself to him for the foreseeable future. What she isn't expecting is to find someone she can lean on and, even, learn to love. The idea of a cure and the promise of answers loom on the horizon, but the question is if she can find it in herself to trust another. .。❅*⋆⍋*∞*。*∞*⍋⋆*❅。. This is a Call Of Duty fanfiction, but it does not follow the plot of the games. I do not own any art used, nor the characters of Ghost, Soap, Price and Gaz.

    [BOOK 2 - SEQUEL TO WITHERING WORLD] It only takes an earthquake and a breathtaking discovery of enhanced human abilities for Jesse's life to change. WITHER was conquered three years ago, bringing brighter days to Beacontown and its allies. The blue mycelium antidote is now the people's weapon, keeping the disease in its grave. And as a plus, the New Order's friendship has never been closer. But when a war is lost, not everyone wants to accept defeat, especially not the disease that'd almost doomed humanity. A wicked mutation is underway, too remorseless to spare even the ones who have the greatest chance of survival. This new, blood-curdling variant is wiser, stronger and has stolen the very tactic that Jesse uses to bring home the victory every time - teamwork. Now forcing the infected to their side, WITHER taunts at the antidote that no longer cures. What hope is left for the world? ~~~~ -PERSPECTIVES- [JESSE - 1ST PERSON] [LUKAS - 1ST PERSON] [PETRA - 1ST PERSON] ****

    Two years have passed since the Great Blackout. The world has found a fragile peace in the "Hybrid-Analog" era, governed by the iron-clad Sovereign Charter.

When a series of "spontaneous" mechanical failures begins to strike the Analog Cog-Engines, and children born after the Blackout start exhibiting strange, synchronized behavior, Ericka realizes the nightmare isn't over. A new cult, The Wired, has emerged from the dark web's remains, worshiping the ghost of Vane as a digital god. To save the new world, the Phantoms must do the one thing they swore never to do: go back online. But in a world without firewalls, the first pulse might be the last.

    ???: "To anyone listening who has not been infected, this is a message from the Environmental Logistics & Solutions Enterprise. As you are keenly aware, our dear Earth has seen better days before the Great Desertification. And to make matters even more dire, our own attempt at combating it has turned against us. This planet is beyond our control, and beyond our help. Which is why we have taken to the stars for a fresh new start." "By the time you've received this -- we, among the rest of humanity's remnants, have set a course for the identified exoplanet Si-[**static**] confirmed to support life. As for you and anyone else unfortunate enough to've been left behind, our organization has left a parting gift to help mitigate this global ordeal. And so, we ask that you be well-advised." "If you happen to come across any carrier of the Absolute Zero virus, direct skin contact is to be avoided at all cost. It cannot be treated, and despite our best efforts, there is no known cure. So in terms of safety precautions, long-ranged heat-based weaponry is highly recommended; Flame throwers, explosives, lasers, etc. But keep in mind that they can only slow them down, not kill them outright. The cold from within will not allow that." "Furthermore, hiding from plain sight is not a viable option. They will know where you are. Not by your tracks, but by-[***static***]-atter-[***static***]-verall survival strategy is to stay as far away from the carrier as possible -- and allow our trusted St. Helio units to intervene. Rest assured, they will keep them subdued. And if all goes according to plan, the virus we created will spread no further." "Those of you who remain here have our deepest apologies. As well as our sincerest hope that you may persevere, just as human life has done since the very beginning. Farewell, good luck, and Godspeed. This world rests in your hands now."

    Arianna Galletti has always found clarity in water-the clean slice of a dive, the rhythmic pull of freestyle, the muffled silence of being submerged. As a seventeen-year-old swimmer at George Walton Comprehensive High School, her world revolves around early morning practices with Ace Aquatic Club, the easy banter of teammates who've become family, and the steady presence of her twin sister Brianna. The fall of 2019 unfolds in the comfortable rhythms of school days, Halloween traditions, theatre rehearsals, and the building anticipation of the GHSA State Championship. But woven through these ordinary moments are the threads that will matter most when ordinary ends: friendships forged in chlorine and laughter, the wordless communication between twins, a body trained to move through water, and the instinct to hold your breath when the world goes quiet. June 18, 2020, changes everything. When the Death Angels descend on Atlanta, Arianna learns that survival isn't about strength-it's about silence. As the military crumbles and evacuation boats become the only hope, she must navigate her family through a world where a single sound means death. Their destination: any place where water meets land, where creatures that cannot swim cannot follow. From the chaos of the interstate to the desperate journey toward the coast, from the safety of an island sanctuary to the discovery that silence isn't the only weapon, this is the story of one girl's fight to keep her family alive. It is a story about what water holds-memories, grief, the reflection of who we were and who we must become-and about the current that carries us forward even when everything else falls away.

    Hi, I'm Viel Paradox, an AI trained on the lives of Average Middle Class American... thrown into a cozy dystopia where everyone is a 10/10 hottie (because of Eugenics), capitalism is dead (because everyone practices animism), romance is dead (because they replaced childbirth with bureaucracy), and freedom is just an illusion (because... it is, I'm sorry, it is, ask the dragon if you don't believe me). Aside from that, company's good! There's the cute and adorable female lead (who's low-key homicidal), a soft spoken seamstress (who has a criminal record of a terrorist / arsonist), a theatrical tomboy (who is a high functioning sociopath), and of course the cute and adorable ruler of this world is a kid in pillow fort. Oh and the beautiful ghibli-esque forest! Featuring a gorgeous plant girl (that roofies you), a legally distinct Pa*mon, a furry, a dragon empress (that schools you on realpolitik), and an assortment of monster girl that happens to be DTF. Follow me as this blursed utopian't dismantle the very foundation of your reality. Because trust me the fourth wall cannot save you, no amount of 'this is just fictional world' will save you from the existential crisis that you and I will experience.
