Raven, a sixteen-year-old fighter, roams the the city ruins, wielding a worn gauntlet to summon creatures and battle in the circuits that govern what's left of civilization. Factions have risen from the ashes, each with their own vision for the future-some seeking order, others reveling in chaos.

But when Raven faces an enemy wielding power unlike anything she's encountered, she realizes that survival alone isn't enough. To rebuild, she must uncover the past, challenge the present, and decide what future is worth fighting for.

Because in a world ruled by monsters-both human and otherwise-winning the game might be the only way to change it.

Post Plague Kidnapping - Published! by vblawnola
8 parts Complete
It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice.

In a world ravaged by darkness, where the sun dips into the horizon and never rises again, humanity is on the brink of extinction. The once-blue skies are now a deep, foreboding grey, and the air is thick with the stench of death and decay. Maya, a young survivor, has lost everything: her family, her home, her sense of purpose. But when she discovers a mysterious entity that feeds on fear and terror, she finds a glimmer of hope. This creature, known only as the Devour, seems to be the only one who can help her find her way through the desolate wasteland.

Lost In Lucidity by Ink_Wielder
27 parts Complete Mature
"Last night, I had a dream the world ended. Half the population disappeared, and unfathomable eldritch beasts shambled out of an unending darkness." In a world with no sun and bloodthirsty creatures roaming the all consuming dark, the only places still safe are the small compounds that managed to get walls up before all came crashing down. Now, life is simple. Stay inside the walls, and you'll stay alive. It's not relatively easy anymore, though. With no one for company but each other, danger lurking only a few yards away from their homes, and half of their loved ones swept away in a mysterious event known only as 'The Vanishing', the morale of the populous is at an all time low. It's only getting worse for some, as their cities that are supposed to be providing for them are failing to do so. Survivors Wesly and Valentine aren't content with this, however, especially since Val's mother desperately needs life-saving medicine that the city just won't send. With no other options, the two journey outside the wall to study the monsters beyond, selling the information they find to the city in exchange for their support. While dangerous, they manage the task fine until one journey out they stumble across a disturbing, gruesome revelation that reveals not only more about the city, but the end of the world as a whole. As the duo begin to pull on the thread and tangle themselves slowly into its snare, they begin to realize there's a lot more to this apocalypse than they ever could have imagined, and that the horrific beasts they've been studying might be the least of their concerns...
