apocalypse

"Joon-ho, do you know me?" This question, how do I answer it? Sung-min, an S-class Esper with frozen properties, stood before me, asking the one question I wished he wouldn't ask. Those icy blue eyes of his held such curious suspicion that it almost looked cute to me. I had been glued to him for a while, doing whatever reckless thing I thought could catch his attention and divert whatever disaster that could ruin the harmony. And all this was because I was a transmigrator, one who knows a future that's yet to unfold. And in the future, he...will kill me. Okay, that's rather harsh. Let's put it this way. This walking glacier had a massive breakdown which took more than half of the city, including me, and turned it into a frozen city. I had a spear of ice lodged through my body, but even then, he was a man I loved to the depths of hell, and through a miracle, I was able to come back a few years before the disaster and meet him again. But I guess I've been a little too familiar with him. I know his secrets, his habits, his loneliness, and maybe a little of everything else. That's why he's starting to suspect me. So, Sung-min, how do you want me to answer this question? "Yes," I said to him, smiling. "You're S-class Esper, Lee Sung-min... and my future boyfriend."

The world ended, and Lucien could only watch. Paralyzed from the neck down, he could do nothing as his sister fought, bled, and finally died protecting him. When his heart stopped, a voice echoed in his dying mind— [Detected fatal state] [Regression possible. Return to the past?] He said yes. Back in the past—with his body slowly healing and a strange system calling itself Akasha guiding him—Lucien swears to change everything. But his “system” hides secrets. His bloodline is sealed, his soul feels fractured, and the world’s mana itself seems to recognize him as something that shouldn’t exist. This time, he will not just survive. He will devour fate itself. *** This is my first novel, so it probably won’t be perfect—but I’ll keep getting better as I write. Warning: The story may include incest. I’m mentioning it early for readers who tend to avoid that.

In a world shattered by a deadly virus, humanity struggles to survive. Kairo, a frail and inexperienced young man, discovers the last survivor outpost and must face hordes of mutated monsters.

As darkness rises and the ultimate threat approaches, Kairo emerges as the hero humanity desperately needs.

the world as everyone knew it changed, John though refused to bend or bow, well others seemed to be corrupted and changed by there choices John kept his sanity, or rather had no sanity to hold onto as the voices in his head that others beside his best friend dismissed as imaginary become more prominent, as he sets out to make his mark he learns the nature of the changes to the world, finding out more and striving to get stronger and to kill the so called gods who where responsible for it, but everything comes at a cost. Ps. This story is writing itself, so all the twists and turns are by its own choice as I'm just the one putting it on digital paper as odd as that sounds, share a stone if you like it and I'll also try to keep as consistent as I can with updates.

Regrets became evident on Reina’s face after he had killed his enemy, Gen Yamashita, a young scientist who created the zombie virus that spread across Japan. He knows that he is the one who causes the death of his parents, but he soon realizes that vengeance is not the way to go. Instead, he became a monster like Gen, and he was devastated by it. Now, he decided to save Gen from his death, and after that, he became depressed and blamed himself for making the virus outbreak worse. It seems that he would be a broken person full of regrets. But, he will not last long in his painful depression. Gen came and reconciled with him, renewing their wills to live life again. Now they are racing against the clock to reverse Gen’s mistakes that wreak havoc across Japan. They will not do that huge and seemingly impossible mission themselves. Two of Gen’s subordinates, Arashi Hoshikawa and Nato Hokawa, and a pair of twin young women, Mara and Martha Buenavista, will accompany them in their mission, alongside Gen’s organization. Will this be a golden ticket for both Gen and Reina to a better life and future?

[You’ve been chosen as the new Lord.] [You’ve been granted your very own floating island.] [Construct your kingdom, summon legendary allies, and reign across the worlds!] [SSS-rank Ultimate Gacha System has been unlocked.] Atlas Blackthorn was born with a miserable F-rank talent, destined to be forgotten forever. Even his teammate betrayed him, casting him into a ravine. That’s when the System chose him. Now armed with the Ultimate Gacha System, Atlas can summon legendary warriors, rare artifacts, and powerful companions to build his dominion. From nothing, he will forge a kingdom in the skies, fighting every battle, conquering new lands, and raising his army into one of the mightiest forces across the realms. The only question is: how far will his dream take him, and what will it cost? ¤¤¤

What is a monster? Humans normally define monsters as fear inducing, bloodthirsty creatures bent on destruction. But to Noah? Monsters were the humans who despised him without justifications, who taught him to loathe himself just for being human. Life was hell, a hell that was surrounded by “monsters”. Until one day, the world changed. Humans were suddenly graced by a Divine voice, one that warned of their extinction, but also promised them power. They were bestowed with a system, a system to aid their fight for survival, to survive against monsters. And when humanity was given that chance to survive, Noah chose to walk a path of a tamer, to befriend the very monsters that were threatening the humans' extinction. As he tamed the monsters, learned from them, bonded with them, shedding the last remnants of what it was to be human. Noah began to wonder, is it wrong to be considered a monster? Feedback is definitely appreciated, good or bad, let's make the story good together. I would like to note that the main character isn’t completely ruthless, he's more chaotically neutral. There’s a lot of good stories out there with ruthless, bloodthirsty, cold hearted main characters so if that’s what your interest in then I’m sorry to disappoint you.

Set in the Shadow Slave world...a time before Sunny was born...this story follows a simple soldier who must survive in a dystopian, apocalyptic landscape where magic and gun warfare collide. In a far-off Quadrant known as North America, a young soldier named Hope is 16 years old when he gets infected by the Nightmare Spell. He passed! But...he feels a bit scammed...? A flaw that makes him fade from people's memories... A cursed attribute that makes him remember everything endlessly in eternal wakefulness... It's as if the Spell is twisting his future and existence into an almost improbable one. All he has ever known his purpose to be was to serve as a simple soldier. Not too powerful. But not so weak either. And maybe, just maybe like some others, become an Awakened. Although he never dreamt of being one. Now that his whole life is compromised after his First Nightmare, his first objective is to survive on his own. But as he tries to escape his fate, his actions seem to lead him further from his goal. He struggles against obstacles that slowly grow bigger and out of proportion. Maybe the Dream Realm and the Real World aren't so different than one may think. Hope's journey involves uncovering secrets and gaining knowledge about his true nature and his new role in the world. Is he fit to be a hero? Could he redefine it? *** Please read the READER DISCLAIMER in Volume 0. This is my spin-off novel of "Shadow Slave" by Guiltythree. But please don't expect the same writing style, setting, and characters, especially the main character. This story reveals more about how people/cities/governments operate after the Spell’s arrival. I always find it interesting how maybe one country handles it fairly, but how others handle it with desperation to the point that you question humanity. There will be easter eggs pointing to the original novel either intentional for the plot or unrelated to it, but all for fun. I am a new author so props to all who bear with me and helps me improve my writing. If it is not for you, please don't leave outright hate comments. Eat wassabi instead if you want pain. Critique and advice would be great too. Cover Art: @ellieaedon I will be posting on RoyalRoad.com and on AO3 for some people's preferences.

In 2030, humanity faced its first true collapse…not by war, but by the sudden invasion of Nightcrawlers, creatures emerging from darkness itself with the desire to devour sunlight at all cost for their evolution. But, they could not absorb it directly since it was as deadly to them as to a shadow under the noonday sun. They could only absorb the sunlight from lifeforms or through signing a nocturnal contract to possess their bodies, providing them with direct sunlight immunity. Within twelve hours, over four billion people perished as Earth was split between eternal night and day. Just as extinction loomed, Holy Light Pillars descended from the heavens, purging one thousand cities from Nightcrawlers and offering humanity sanctuary under their divine light. A century later, in the Heliodor Region, an innocent child found his world turned upside down after two mysterious nightcrawlers invaded his home, slaughtered his parents, and ripped his eyes out of their sockets, leaving him permanently connected to the Shadow Dimension, the home ground of Nightcrawlers. Was it just a random feeding session for them, a planned assassination, or it goes deeper than this? Follow Levi’s journey as he weaves between darkness and light, chasing the truth hidden in both.

Adyr, once a notorious serial killer, met a brutal end and welcomed death as the final judgment for his sins. But he awoke in a parallel Earth, where the rich alter their genes and superhumans are the norm. Believing some unknown force had given him a second chance, Adyr buried the monster within and chose a quiet, normal life. For eighteen years, he lived in poverty with his family, suppressing his urges and forcing himself to be human. Until the day he entered a new VRMMORPG. A game that doesn’t just alter virtual stats but mutates real genes and pushes players toward evolution. While every player chose from four known Paths, Adyr was given a fifth. One that no one had seen before. And with each evolution, the bloodlust he had buried returned, turning him back into the villain he once was. The kind that made even gods afraid to speak his name. *** Follow me on Instagram for character illustrations. Instagram: goldenlineagenovel ***

They said reality was just code. But when the code started whispering back, the world bled. In a decayed cyber-city where dreams leak into reality, Lucian Vale, a calm, brilliant hacker with a fractured mind, uncovers a forbidden signal buried deep within the Matrix — one that speaks in human screams instead of data. The more he listens, the more the world around him collapses — buildings twist, time glitches, and dead people start remembering him. When Eira Quinn, a fearless investigator haunted by her brother's disappearance, crosses his path, their worlds merge into a nightmare coded in blood and binary. Together, they must decode the truth: Who built the Matrix — and why it's now rewriting reality itself. But the deeper they go, the closer Lucian drifts toward becoming what the Matrix truly fears — a god trapped inside its own creation. This is not a simulation. This is the haunting of reality itself.

"When I said I wanted more of Highschool of the Dead... I didn’t mean I wanted to be transported into the story!—A few erotic doujinshi and fan arts of the female leads would’ve been just fine!" Nach Smith, a 24-year-old—freelancer, part-time survival nerd, zombie apocalypse enthusiast, and full-time degenerate pervert—falls asleep in his bed after reading the discontinued manga Highschool of the Dead, only to wake up and find himself inside the story, right at the very beginning. Armed with his knowledge of the plot and an odd collection of skills, Nach will try to survive as an Extra in the story—saving other background characters he’d grown fond of while reading, accompanying the main characters, maybe even stealing a few female leads for himself, or accidentally taking on the protagonist’s role. Along the way, he’ll stumble through R18/Harem/Smut-like escapades—until he either reaches the manga’s unfinished part, wakes up from what he can only assume is a dream... or perhaps continues the story that never got its ending.

Not What You Expect to See When You Open Your Eyes.I woke up in a dead body, inside a lifeless laboratory, surrounded by corpses. My mind was chaos, fragments of memory, flashes of panic. The lab had been studying a new virus transmitted through fungal spores. Cordyceps infected human bodies and took control of them. Everything went to hell. I was one of those sent in to clean up the mess. ************************** All similarities to real people, events, or places are purely coincidental.

Can I survive The Walking Dead as Agent 47—the best hitman in fiction? Your answer might be yes… but. What if I were trapped in the teenage body of Agent 47? In this world, the walkers are far more dangerous. Think of them like Season 1 walkers: still able to use simple tools, climb walls, move faster, and act more intelligently—only with a few notable differences. The zombie will not be mutating. Let’s find out whether I can survive long enough to become the ruler of an entire country in a zombie-apocalypse world… or die trying. === Just a reminder: the main character only has Agent 47 superhuman body. He doesn’t have Agent 47 personality or skills; he has to learn all of that on his own. Think of it as a lesser version of a super-soldier serum. The main character will be ruthless, but not as emotionless as Agent 47, who can kill thousands without feeling anything and barely speaks to anyone. My protagonist will grow into a colder, hardened person over time, but he will still remain human. If you’re expecting him to have all of Agent 47’s skills, personality, and abilities, then this fanfiction isn’t for you. This is a story about an ordinary teenager who wakes up with Agent 47’s body and learns how to survive in a zombie-apocalypse world. ____________________________________ What You Can Expect from This Novel If you enjoy stories with a flawless main character who never grows or changes, then this fan fiction isn’t for you. This story takes a slower pace, focusing on people and how they behave in the midst of disaster. It delves into the darker side of humanity—the good, the bad, and the ugly. But since it’s set in The Walking Dead universe, you probably expected that. There won’t be a harem in my story because I’m terrible at writing one and, honestly, it doesn’t feel logical to include it. I hope you enjoy this fan fiction and give it a chance. Everyone deserves one.
