apocalypse

THE FOUNDRY PROTOCOL "Try not to die like a bitch this time." That was the last thing the System told me before it rebooted the timeline. I’m Jack Monroe, a construction manager who failed to save the world. In my first life, I died screaming on Day 30, ranked 47th out of 50 warlords, watching my fortress crumble because I cut corners on a concrete wall. Now, I’ve been sent back to Day 1 with a roadmap of the apocalypse carved into my skull and a 30-day countdown to a cosmic Server Wipe. Round Two isn't about heroics. It's about industry. Trapped in the toxic wasteland of East St. Louis, I have to turn a bankrupt chemical plant into an impenetrable Silo. I have to manage a crew of terrified laborers, a mutinous sheriff, and two System entities warring for my soul. The dead don't just walk—they evolve. Shamblers turn into Runners, Runners turn into Mutants, and my neighbors turn into looters. I have a plan. I have a blueprint. I have a shovel. And if you get in the way of my construction schedule, you’re going into the concrete mixer. Build. Harvest. Optimize. Welcome to the Cull.

Ten years. Ten years of fire, blood, and failure—and in the final second, he watched her die. Lin Yue’s world ended in ash and shadows, consumed by the Void. But death is not the end… not for him. Reborn one week before the apocalypse, Lin Yue carries more than memories. He carries the Chipped Stone of the Void, a mysterious artifact fused to his soul, and the ruthless Void Mimic System, a power that can steal the skills of gods—but every use burns vitality, and every second spent growing stronger steals from the life of the one he swore to protect: Lian Xiu. The city is a war zone waiting to happen. The Iron Fist Triad hunts him. Dark Sects manipulate the shadows. Supernatural entities tear at the fabric of reality. And somewhere in the chaos stands Lian Xiu—his obsession, his reason, and now… a potential casualty of his own power. Every skill stolen, every artifact claimed, every step closer to strength brings Lin Yue nearer to salvation and damnation. He must navigate a world where allies are enemies, enemies hide behind law and power, and a single misstep could erase the woman he loves forever. In a city where the future is stolen before it begins, Lin Yue has one choice: master the Void, survive the impossible, and defy fate itself… or lose everything, again.

One minute they were studying in class. The next minute, they were fighting for their lives. ​Thud... Thuddd!!! ​Pounding on the door. Screams in the hallway. A virus was spreading rapidly, transforming their classmates into hungry monsters. Risa and the other students were trapped, with no escape and no help coming. ​But the biggest threat wasn't the zombies outside. It was already inside the classroom, disguised among them, waiting for the right moment to consume them from within. ​In this game of survival, who will be the first victim?

Aetheris is a world that abandoned magic six centuries ago, fully embracing advanced technology and modern civilization. But its downfall begins when Felix Erratic, a 17-year-old student from Cyranthia, drinks a mysterious beverage handed to him by a stranger—later discovered to be one of the last surviving aliens on the planet. The physical changes follow slowly yet inevitably: his body shrinks, his features soften, and his very identity shifts. Within thirty days, Felix is transformed completely into a woman. At the same time, global unrest begins to surface—technological failures, system anomalies, and early signs of an impending world collapse. Amid the breakdown of societal order and the rise of technological conflicts, Felix discovers an impossible truth: his transformation has awakened an ancient power long thought to be extinct—magic. As the world marches toward pre-apocalypse and unknown forces begin to stir once more, Felix stands as the lone key between salvation and total annihilation. And the history of Aetheris will change, beginning with the body of a teenager who is no longer the person he once was.

This story is about a man trying to find his way in a foreign but familiar world. I plan this novel to be about his journey through the Commonwealth as he tries to make the world a better place. He would be classified as a decent person, but one who doesn't hesitate to protect his life and those he cares about. Now onto the story. Rio will find himself in the Commonwealth of Fallout 4 with a system that works like a combination of the previous titles' game mechanics. It has Skills, Traits, Perks, VATS, and everything else a survivor could need to survive the wasteland. Rio must try and find his way in a world that to him was nothing more than a videogame before he died. He will meet friends and foes alike during his journey. But the biggest issue he has to deal with isn't how to shoot a gun but how to fit into a world where he isn't a human and everyone sees him as a horrifying mutant. How will he manage to convince everyone he isn't like the big green brute or the decaying ferals? I guess you will have to read and find out. (Edit: Someone mentioned that the title was misleading so I will clarify that the main character is not a Super Mutant but he is seen as a mutant by the people. ) ------------------- Now, for the details on what you can expect from me. I will make the chapters around 1500-2000 words, and I anticipate releasing them Monday-Friday. Except for the occasional holiday, in which I may release two chapters. It may take a while before I start uploading to this story, as I want to create a few chapters first. My other story that hasn't been completed will likely go on Hiatus as I have lost some of the motivation to write that story. If you notice any errors or mistakes in any of my content, then let me know, and I will usually fix it, and if I don't, then I will at least let you know why. I read almost all the comments, so let me know what you think. Lastly, I use Grammarly, but both it and I can make grammar mistakes, so let me know if you find any. Until next time, Ciao.

Blurb: He was once mindless trash. Vermin. An Imp. No name, no purpose. No future. He was supposed to die in the Maw like the rest. Mindless, crawling meat for something stronger to chew on. But something broke. A spark buried itself inside him... something ancient, older than Hell itself. Now he can see. He can think. He can Evolve. Hell doesn't know it yet, but the bottom just stood up. And he's hungry. Synopsis: The lowest demon in Hell. An imp without thought, spawned from filth, born for slaughter. Then he devoured a glitched system shard, something that shouldn’t exist in Hell. It gave him thought. It gave him power. It gave him the chance to evolve. Crawling through a realm of endless death and rot, he forced open a path to Earth. But in the year 2125, Earth isn’t what it once was. A hundred years ago, the Convergence shattered reality. Dimensions merged and the Dungeons fell. Civilization ended. Now, after a century of struggle, the Five Kings rule what's left, each carving out their own empires with overwhelming power. Like the Beast Taming King, who controls what was once Africa. His lands teem with monsters. Users flock to farm his dungeons, capturing beasts, gather rare materials...if they can survive, and don't forget to pay tribute. Or the Undead King, who holds what was once Europe and Russia in an iron grip. Endless legions of the dead serve him, his people loyal and fanatical. Behind an iron mask, he enforces absolute authority. A tyrant, loved by his people, living or dead. Everywhere, system users chase their own power. Shards grant anything from petty stats to world-shaking destinies. Everyone sees themselves as the hero, the protagonist of their own story. All of this is maintained and guided through the Network, a system-spanning infrastructure no human can escape. It ranks, registers, and controls. But not everywhere. Beyond the king's territories lie the Freelands, lawless zones they can’t or won’t hold. Here, gangs and corporations carve up ground while dimensional rifts swallow entire city blocks, wild dungeons drop without warning, and violence is the only law. He shouldn’t even exist in the Network. He’s not human. But his shard is corrupted...tainted. He slips through its firewalls, unregistered, unranked and free. Consuming the life and identity of Wohan Seo-jin, a system user and gang boss on the drowned coast of what was once Korea, he takes everything: his face, his memories, his men. Now he owns a foothold in the human world. And he plans to keep it. Survival isn’t enough. There is too much to want, too much to take for his own. System users, demons, dimensional races, even gods, he’ll push past every limit, evolve beyond every threat, and claim everything he desires...no matter the cost. #Litrpg #DarkFantasy #Grimdark #ProgressionFantasy #Post-apocalyptic

The world ended not with a bang, but with a scream. Years after the outbreak turned cities into graveyards and people into shrieking monsters, survival is a daily negotiation with death. Dylan Pierce doesn’t do hope—he does silence, steel, and the next supply run. But when he’s saved by a strange woman from the ocean, everything changes. In a world where trust is fragile and time is running out, what’s more dangerous: the monsters outside, or the truth within? (also available on Wattpad & Royal Road)

An infected world. With a never-ending invasion. Status screens, unique skills, gods and demons… even monsters capable of ending the world in a single breath. "Hah… what kind of circus do we keep getting thrown into? I am still not sure whether humanity deserves this or if the universe is just bored.." By the time he reached his twelfth life, Iskael had already watched the world end more times than he could count on two hands. He had failed as a hero, as a survivor, and as a lover, thrown back again and again using the tool he desperately monopolized. he stood alone at the cliff’s edge, but he looked nothing like the terrified survivors scattered far behind him. He looked over the Zenith Chasm in silence. Below him, the abyss seethed with monsters in the millions. An evil smile permeated his face, a face no normal soul could ever be able to make staring endlessly at an abyss. It was the kind of smile that would have made his classmates step back on instinct, a smile that did not match any sane person who still claimed to fight for humanity. Wind pressed against his clothes, dragging the torn fabric slightly over his frame. And beneath it, black linen tattoos shimmered like living veins of ink. The unearthly symbols crawled and shifted across his torso, disappearing into the hidden folds creased into his figure. He stood above the ever hollowing Zenith Chasm, as the sole vanguard for the beginning of the raid. Having fearful last minute thoughts would be normal, for anyone staring at such an abomination of numbers. Yet you see only one mantra stayed firm to this young man, Iskael's heart. A coping mantra more dear than anything. “Step back. Or step forward. Step through your hurt again, until the loop bends to you. Then time will also be nothing but your lesson and your tool to carve the little life you were denied having.” This time he chose to step forward. Air rushed past him as he let himself fall, his body flipping weightlessly through the tranquil yet furious winds, and as he fell those black tattoos began glowing brighter with each rotation in preparation for something. Then, as monsters roared and the world shook beneath him, he whispered: “It is such a melodramatic thing to say.." But you see, my little karma farms...” His grin widened. “I’m a regressor.” **BOOOM**

Xiangge grew up in a golden cage. The man who raised him was also the one who destroyed his world. Emperor Mingxuan had killed his parents, taken his throne, and kept him close for eighteen years. No questions were allowed. No answers were given. Silence became Xiangge’s inheritance. To the empire, Mingxuan was a tyrant. To Xiangge, he was everything: jailer, protector, and the only warmth left in a life built from ashes. Until 'it' appeared. 'It' wanted Xiangge’s life. And Mingxuan, for the first time in eighteen years, looked afraid. That's when Xiangge realized: he'd never known his gege at all. The empire is burning. The truth is rising. To keep Xiangge alive, Mingxuan will offer everything he owns: his throne, his blood, his secrets. But some truths kill more surely than any blade. Love protects. Love destroys. This one has done both since the night the magnolia blossoms fell.

They told us we were the lucky ones… orphans chosen to be “raised” at Naver Academy, the most prestigious institution in the world. They promised us a future of safety, power, and purpose. They lied. Behind the perfect classrooms and perfect smiles were monsters wearing human skin. I watched my best friend die in front of me, devoured by something no human should ever witness. It cracked my sanity… and I too would have died that night if it wasn't for the system. Now I know the truth. The Naver Academy was never really a school. It's a farm, and we are its livestock. I'm no hero. I've lived my whole life being afraid and passive of the unknowns of the future. I drowned under my own helplessness. But if the world insists on hunting me, then I will become something it fears. They can call me weak, but they never call me prey. If we be damned… then they too will be damned!!

Welcome to Tessera, a planet where consistency is uncommon. Every 13 days and 4 hours, the world hits the reset button in a terrifying, geological event known simply as the Shift. If you were planning to build a retirement home, tough luck, Tessera specializes in instant demolition and landscape reconfiguration, which is why civilization is long gone and humanity is hanging on by a thread.
