shockwave asphalt 9

--- On the backroads of Queensland, where the sun burns hot and the law runs cold, the Southern Reapers Motorcycle Club live by their own code — loyalty, brotherhood, and blood. At their head rides Cole “Raven” Maddox, a man built from loss and asphalt. Six years after the death of his wife, Cole has learned to live like the road he rides — scarred, silent, and endless. The club is his family now, his armor against a world that already took too much. But one violent encounter changes everything. When a confrontation with their long-time rivals, the Black Vultures, exposes a human trafficking ring, the Reapers find themselves rescuing a handful of broken survivors — among them, Elena, a young woman with a quiet strength that cuts through Cole’s defenses. Haunted and wary, Elena wants nothing to do with the world of leather and vengeance. Yet as she recovers under the Reapers’ roof, she finds herself drawn to the gruff, scarred man who led her out of hell. And in Cole, she sees something she thought was long gone — decency, and the kind of brokenness that mirrors her own. But peace doesn’t come easy in the outlaw life. The Vultures want her back — not for what she is, but for what she knows. Her survival threatens to expose their operation, and they’ll burn the Reapers’ world to the ground to silence her. As violence closes in, Cole faces an impossible choice: protect his club, or protect the woman who’s reminded him how to feel. And Elena, finding her voice again, must decide whether to run from danger — or ride straight into it beside him. From dusty highways to midnight storms, Ashes & Asphalt is a story about love rising from ruin, about two souls learning to trust the road ahead even when it’s lined with ghosts. Because sometimes, the heart doesn’t heal by forgetting — it heals by fighting to live again. ---

The world changed in the blink of an eye as a massive shockwave tore through the planet, its energy reverberating through the very fabric of the earth and touching every human soul. Nothing would ever be the same again. That day marked a turning point for humanity. With every individual imbued with power or ability, some grew animal parts as an extension of their new gifts, while others transformed into lost souls or phantoms, destined to haunt the earth. The phantoms, driven by malice, unleashed havoc across the globe assaulting humanity, structures, and nature itself. Some materializing with a physical form, while others were more like wraiths, wreaking havoc from beyond the veil. Unbeknownst to humanity a hierarchy of power began to emerge. Those who had animal parts found themselves bestowed with unique abilities, their powers distinct and formidable. In contrast, humans without the animal traits possessed more generic abilities, their powers less extraordinary but still significant in their own right. Among the transformed, those without animal traits discovered they had basic elemental abilities manipulating fire, water, earth, and air and telekinetic powers. These capabilities though impressive, were more generalized. In contrast, the humans with animal traits possessed powers that were more unique as their physical changes. They exhibited abilities that mirrored their animal traits, such as enhanced speed, acute senses, or even the power to heal rapidly. Some even developed entirely new skills that defied conventional understanding, marking them as extraordinary in the new world. Chaos reigned in the new world as the old laws crumbled and new tensions arose. A rift formed between the humans without animal traits and those who had transformed. The former saw the latter as dangerous and unpredictable, while the individuals with animal traits felt ostracized and unfairly scrutinized, their powers and traits misunderstood and feared. Humanity fractured, with groups forming and claiming territories based on their differences. The majority isolated themselves from those with animal traits, and vice versa, as mistrust ran deep. However, in certain areas, small bands of people defied this trend, staying together despite their differences, united in their efforts to rebuild and protect themselves from the relentless phantoms that attacked without warning. Across the fractured world, human and human-trait groups alike took up the mantle of discovery. They banded together in search of answers, traversing continents in pursuit of any clue that might explain the transformation that had upended their lives. Following the path of the shockwave, they moved forward with a mix of determination and uncertainty, knowing that the truth or danger lay ahead.

Five men of different origins, united by steel, obedience, and the unspoken bond born inside a Panzer. But the war is coming. And when night finally falls on Europe, there will be no turning back.

The four stepchildren: !!! With the world quieted, Qin Yao rolls up her sleeves to revive the family. Hunting, carrying bags, fighting bandits, she's an expert in all. But facing the fields, with her back to the sky, and her face to the earth, even a top-tier fighter from the post-apocalyptic world waves her hand: Can't take it! Really can't take it! Qin Yao scratches her head: In the ancient times where agricultural taxes are extremely high, how can I avoid farming?
