Meet Sanders, a young man attempting to survive in the world of Unturned. Discover as he learns to survive against the odds, from mistaking glue as a drink, to being parts of elaborate raids on the Mafia in PEI, to rescues in Russia. Will he survive to find the truth of the world around him, or perish in the first few minutes? Find out in adventures of The Legends Of The Unturned. (Story was made when I was much younger, and I don't plan to likely continue or finish this story. Please check out my main story, Powers Against The World) **Note** -In order for this story to be as exciting as possible, I've based the story loosely around Unturned. While it will mostly be similar to normal gameplay of Unturned, some items may be found more easily, or even in places where they are not normally found. This doesn't mean I would put a military gun in a farm unless it could be found in the game or a similar item or event, but it could be something more minor. I also made factions and groups not found in certain spots or even in the game to make the plot cooler. I hope this doesn't ruin the plot of the story for the reader, and that it's overall enjoyable. Have a good read! This book is also an unofficial, unaffiliated novel based on the game of Unturned, created by Smartly Dressed Games.

Through endless struggles, I toiled relentlessly, sacrificing everything—be it love or kin—all in the name of securing my family's rise to dominance. I wove a grand strategy for boundless prosperity and orchestrated an intricate scheme of inevitable tragedy.

History may brand me as a villain, but none can deny that I was the foundation upon which my family's supremacy was built. For I am the Initiator of all beginnings and endings! ****** Wudi Egun—the name etched in history as the greatest villain mankind has ever known. Yet, paradoxically, he is also revered as the Wudi Progenitor, the legendary figure who paved the way for his bloodline’s boundless prosperity. Why was he feared? Why was he worshipped? He once proclaimed: "War brings prosperity. Destruction breeds new and better creation. Death is but the catalyst for nirvana. And every ending is merely the beginning of something greater."

The man who started as nothing rose to become both a revered legend and a feared nightmare— the Wudi Progenitor, the Faceless Demon whose name would echo through eternity, bringing both awe and terror. But who was he truly? What was his story? His history? His legend? Nobody knows.
