    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.

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.

    Yeji always thought the world would end in fire, or maybe in a flood. But when it came, the end was quiet-broken only by the groans of the dead. They rose in many forms: the stiffs, the lurkers, and the relentless swarmers that consumed entire streets. Humanity didn't fall in a single night. Piece by piece, it unraveled. And survival became more than just outrunning the dead. It became about trust. About hope. About love. And above all...about the ones who remain.

    Valor is dying. Karalinde-Kar-carries the power to save his world, or finish killing it. He just doesn't know it yet. His family fled from the ruined city of Iridess when he was only a child.

Monsters roam its broken streets, ruthless guilds control its resources, and the ancient powers buried in Kar's bloodline are beginning to wake up in ways he can't control. Then he discovers something in the ruins that changes everything: a sentient crystal being carrying fragments of a forgotten history-and the key to what Kar is truly becoming.

    GOD IS BUT A PROGRAM. MAN IS BUT A VESSEL. They did not descend from the heavens to save us. They returned because their digital immortality began to rot. The Elohim-post-human deities of pure energy, imprisoned on the sterile orbital station S.Y.O.N.-destroyed the Earth eons ago in their pursuit of power. Now, stripped of senses and empathy, they desperately seek a return to biology. Adam and Eve are no miracle of creation. They are the product of the E.D.I.T.H. protocol-a biomechanical reconstruction cast into the radioactive dust of Mesopotamia to test if human flesh can endure the weight of divine wrath. In the shadow of rusting skyscrapers, beneath the whispers of the rebel serpent NAHASH, an error was born that no algorithm could foresee: Cain. The first son of Earth, who knows no humility and, instead of prayer, whets his blade of black glass. While Yahweh weeps golden data and Moloch glares from orbit through his blood-red visor, a new power awakens below. The rage of the firstborn, who intends to find out if gods can bleed. Step into a world where the Deluge is a system procedure, and the only hope for freedom is the shedding of divine blood.

    In 2029, a virus designated Tokbog-29 spread globally, originating from Russia and within two years, the virus claimed over 800,000 lives. By 2037, the death toll had reached 760,000,000. In 2038, in Japan, a creature, codename Chimera, was the first of many entities to emerge from infected patients referred to as Ijo (Japanese for "Anomaly") or Zmij (Russian for "Dragon"). The year 2038 marked the beginning of the Anomalous War, which lasted until 2047. The conflict was fought by the United Nations Armament and Defense Forces (UNADF), particularly through its specialized branch, the Ijo Counterattack Protocol (ICP), known in Russia and Europe as the Zmij Extermination Division (ZED). In 2047, the Class-Y Human Containment Space Station, also known as Remnant, was launched from the Moon and positioned beyond lunar orbit. It carried more than half of humanity - the last surviving civilian population of humanity. Only the military remained on Earth. In 2049, military experiments subjected human test subjects to a modified and controlled substance found inside the Tokbog-29 bacteria. The substance was designated Tokbog-29β, also known as Nectar. Under extreme psychological stress - fear, rage, or trauma - it triggered the development of the Hirngeist, a system that altered both the psychological and physical state of the host, granting behavioral traits and combat capabilities approximately fifty percent comparable to an Ijo. Soldiers implanted with Nectar can activate it for a maximum duration of one minute - just enough to finish an engagement. Each military base fields three squads of four soldiers. Together, these squads form an Oberhaupt, the command unit responsible for their coordination, composed of personnel ranging from seventeen to forty years of age. The story takes place in 2054. The protagonists have been members of an Oberhaupt unit for at least two years.

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.

    For seventeen-year-old Annabeth Eyre, the water has always been the one place the world falls silent. As a varsity swimmer at Mountain View High School, the pool is her sanctuary-a place of clear lanes, measured breaths, and the muffled peace found beneath the surface. The chaos of senior year, the pressure of state championships, and the noise of a sprawling Mesa household with two older brothers fade away with each stroke. But in June of 2020, during a senior trip to a resort town in Mexico, silence becomes the most terrifying sound in the world. Meteors crash from a clear sky, bringing with them blind, armored predators that hunt by the smallest whisper of sound. The Death Angels descend with devastating speed, turning a paradise of music and laughter into a killing field. Annabeth, along with her best friends and fellow swimmers-Hannah Carlson, steady and sharp, and Ava Edison, fiercely loyal and impulsive-must use the very skills that made them champions to survive. Their lungs, honed for holding breath through endless laps, become their greatest weapon. Their discipline, forged in early morning practices, becomes their only shield. Separated from their families back in Arizona and trapped in a country collapsing into chaos, the three girls discover that the creatures cannot swim. In that terrifying truth lies a fragile hope: reach the ocean. Find an island. But between them and the saltwater cure lies a gauntlet of panicked survivors, the relentless hunters, and the greatest challenge of all-learning that in a world where one sound means death, the bonds of friendship can be both a vulnerability and the only thing worth surviving for. From the sun-scorched ruins of a Mexican resort to the fragile safety of the sea, their journey becomes a testament to the idea that even when the world goes quiet, the human spirit can still make waves.

    One hundred fifty years after a global pandemic and war reduced civilization to ruins, society is split into two starkly unequal classes. The Five Pillars rule over the new world with wealth and power, while the non-Pillars scrape by in the crumbling remains of old cities, clinging to one hope-earning a place in Virtual Earth, a digital utopia promising a better life. Seventeen-year-old Cassandra, a student at a non-Pillar academy, is determined to raise her credit score high enough to secure her future in Virtual Earth. But when a mysterious incident shakes the elite Five Pillar Academy, it unearths buried secrets that pull Cassandra into the world of the privileged. There, she crosses paths with Damien, a young man wielding absolute authority and an agenda of his own. Between a brutal reality and a comfortable illusion, Cassandra faces an impossible choice: play by the rules of a corrupt system or expose a truth that could bring it all crashing down-including herself. ______ Ps: English isn't my primary language, but I want to reach international readers. In my country, the audience for dystopian fiction is quite limited, so I'm trying to bring my story to a wider audience. Please understand that my writing style may not be perfect, but I'm doing my best to convey the story as authentically as possible.

    Colton, like all residents of the Internment Zone, lives a life never meant for him. He spends his days slaving away in countless hours of gruelling labour for just barely enough to scrape by. Though he may have once wished for more, he's long since abandoned those dreams in favour of keeping his family safe from the crimson gaze of the sentinels. There are only two problems: an ailing sister with the universe in her eyes and an army of titanium overseers growing evermore violent towards dissidents. When an attempt to cure his sister's worsening condition goes awry, Colton finds himself among the ranks of the Sol-3 Independence Movement, and the thought of action forces its way into reality. Hiding from view is no longer an option, not once the sentinels place a target on your back.
