Specialist Alex Knight thought his Guard unit’s deployment into Brooklyn was just another support mission consisting of traffic control, and presence patrols. Then the screaming started. Then the biting. Within minutes, his convoy was overrun. Alex died on the Belt Parkway, torn apart by the very civilians he was ordered to protect. And then he woke up. A week earlier. Now armed with the memory of how it all begins, Alex has seven days to prepare for the collapse of order, the spread of infection, and the moment his unit is thrown headfirst into chaos. But every choice has a cost. Stockpiling ammo and food makes him look paranoid. Warning others risks exposure. And if his unit calls, he’ll be torn between duty and survival. The countdown has already started. Citizen Soldier Reborn: Surviving Day Zero blends military realism with apocalyptic horror, following one Guardsman’s fight to protect his family, his brothers-in-arms, and himself against a city, and a world, on fire.
Seven years after the world fell, the cities are nests of the Dead, and the railways are the last veins of survival. When their shelter collapses, five witches escape on a rusted locomotive with nothing but empty cars and failing wards. To live, they must fight through hordes, chant incantations that draw the Dead closer, and rebuild the train into a fortress on rails. But the undead are not their only enemies. On the tracks of the dead world, every stop means raiders, betrayals, and new graves.
When a forgotten civilization is uncovered beneath the western Antarctic ice, the world celebrates the greatest archaeological discovery in history—until the research team reveals something no one understands: an ancient geometric contagion embedded in the ruins, a force that doesn’t infect bodies but infects reality itself. Within days, the “Hollow Virus” tears across the globe. Faults—zones where physics collapses—spread north from Antarctica like a second atmosphere. Buildings drift into the air. Streets fold into impossible shapes. People caught inside distort: some twist into violent, puppet-like aggressors, while others remain fully conscious but trapped in frozen, geometric paralysis. Hospitals overflow with victims who are not medically ill—but cosmically undone. Humanity does what humans always do in apocalypse: they run home. The military deserts. Governments vanish. Emergency systems collapse. The world falls apart in a single night. And in the middle of it stands Specialist Cole Larson—a lazy, hungover Montana National Guard soldier with no ambition and even less discipline. But when the activation order comes and he witnesses the chain of command disintegrate firsthand, he becomes one of the few still wearing a uniform. Abandoned by leadership and “voluntold” to stay behind, Cole realizes he has no reason to remain in Montana at all. He doesn’t have a wife, kids, or anything close to a real future—just a mother somewhere in Los Angeles. Whether she’s alive doesn’t matter. Finding her gives him a direction to walk. So he straps on his gear, pulls on his tan balaclava and shades, and becomes something the broken Northwest whispers about in fear: Stillface— the soldier with no reaction, no hesitation, and nothing left to lose. Armed with a .22 MP5, a battered Polish AK, and the stubborn will to keep moving, Cole travels the hollowed highways of America. From Idaho to Washington to Oregon and down into the ruined skeleton of California, he crosses a wasteland where Faults tear the world open and Aberrants stalk the night. The further he goes, the stranger he becomes— less man, more myth. On the cracked highways of a world unraveling, Cole Larson walks alone. Not to save the world. Not to save anyone. Just to reach the end of the road, no matter what it holds.

When the primordial force of mana returns to Earth, it doesn’t bring miracles — it brings the end. A third of humanity awakens supernatural abilities, another third transforms into mana-fueled zombies, and the rest cling to survival in a shattered world. Renji Kurosawa, the overlooked youngest son of a powerful tech dynasty, should have died on day one. Instead, he discovers a terrifying gift: the power to command the undead. Immune to their aggression and capable of forging psychic links to evolve them into deadly commanders, Renji becomes something the world has never seen — a Graveborne Lord. As Earth itself mutates — birthing colossal beasts, hostile plant life, and strange new lands — Renji builds his power from the ruins, forging an army of both living and dead. By his side stand unlikely allies bound to him by loyalty, love, or obsession: Runa Kurosawa, his step-sister, a silent assassin who manipulates space itself. Misaki Kurosawa, his steadfast stepmother and healer, feared and revered as the Verdant Saint. Nao “Ruby Rain” Kiryuu, a cunning crystal-wielder whose hatred for Renji twists into dangerous devotion. Evelyn “Glacial Veil” Hoshizora, the elegant water manipulator shrouded in mist. Lyra “Echo Nocturne” Shiranami, a tragic songstress fused with her chimera-beast companion, Nyara. But Renji’s path to dominance is fraught with danger — rival survivors with godlike abilities, evolving zombie lords, and hidden truths about mana’s return that could unravel the fragile balance of his growing empire. Torn between protecting his fractured family and seizing the power to rule, Renji must decide: will he remain human… or embrace the will of the fallen? In a world where the living fear the dead, and the dead obey his call, the line between savior and overlord fades with every battle.

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.

It all happened in an instant, like a switch had suddenly been flipped. All across the world, a virus began turning people into zombie-like infected. Among the remaining safe zones are the Golden City, where life continues as if the pandemic never occurred, and Stadium Town, where what’s left of a criminal empire continues to operate. While the Golden City’s military conducts missions beyond the wall, scientists inside work desperately to develop a cure. Instead of answers, they discover things that should not be possible. The infection doesn’t follow the rules of biology. It shows traits no ordinary virus could ever possess. And with the arrival of two mysterious girls that have no pigmentation, life in the Golden City enters a new phase. The infected begin to change, and the nights bring horrors its people have never faced before.
Ethan Cross and his friends live ordinary lives in a bustling modern city — school, work, and the small dramas of youth. Life is normal, even mundane… until a strange illness begins to appear in the city. At first, it’s just rumors: people getting sick, strange behavior, minor accidents. But soon, the signs become impossible to ignore. Chaos spreads quietly at first — traffic jams, hospitals filling, emergency alerts ignored. By the time Ethan and his companions realize what’s happening, the virus has evolved into something deadly: turning ordinary people into violent, unrecognizable predators. The city they once knew is gone, replaced with panic, terror, and the infected. Ethan and his friends must survive together, navigating streets they once walked casually, scavenging for food, weapons, and shelter — all while struggling with fear, loss, and impossible choices. In a world gone mad, survival comes at a price: sometimes it’s the people you love.
When the world ended, Nathaniel Robinson was just seventeen. Overnight, everything he loved was consumed by chaos—cities crumbled, the infected spread like wildfire, and humanity turned on itself. Haunted by loss but driven by memory, Nathaniel is forced to grow up fast. Through mutants, anarchists, and the ruins of civilization, he fights battles most would surrender to. His reason to keep going is simple— “To remember them.” But maybe fate has other plans for him. Maybe he’s the kind of man who, when the time comes, will carry the weight of rebuilding civilization on his shoulders.
He was in the bathroom when the world fell apart. Barry Quell never wanted anything special. At sixteen, he just wanted to pass his classes at the University of Bedfordshire, maybe play football with his mates, and figure out how to talk to girls without turning red. But that normal life ended the moment he opened the door and saw his best friend with pale skin and empty eyes. One bite should have made Barry lose everything, just like the others. Instead, something flew through the shattered window—something he never saw—and now he feels nothing, bleeds without pain, and heals without scars. He’s still him. But he’s not. Half the world has turned, and it’s spreading fast. No one remembers who they were once they’re taken... except Barry. And now he’s walking the edge between man and monster, hiding from both the dead and the living, searching for answers he doesn’t know exist.
