"Again? Why is it always me? Why am I always the one suffering." A world where magic flows through every living creature, plants animals and humans. This world is controlled by the rich and powerful. The poor and weak are left to fend for themselves. The rich tax the weak for protection, large cities surrounded by walls to separate cannon fodder and the cannons. There's only one place where everyone is the same...the badlands.

Abel, known colloquially in Ayaha as the Spectre, spends the majority of his time patrolling the Badlands hunting monsters. When he appears to Alonso Orson, a good friend and Guildmaster of the Yesteryear Guild, and practically begs him to raise a child Alonso is unable to deny it. With no name, no parents, and no known origin to speak of, the child is a mystery. Still, the Orsons raise the child like he was their own, and stick to the promise Alonso made Abel: “Raise him strong, raise him homourable.” The Orsons decided to formally adopt the child, ordaining him with their family name. Dara Orson was raised with a Demigod Guildmaster as a father, a kindhearted baker as his mother, and the Yesteryear Guild as an extended family. Strength was practically a given, and honour was drilled into him. Only Abel knows the origins of Dara’s birth, the reason for his inadequacy with magic, and the latent power that rested within him. Follow Dara as he grows, learns, fights, travels, and writes a legend to rival that of the Spectre’s. (New Chapter Every Two Days [hopefully])

Gilroy "Gil" Tanner is a small time courier. His job is simple, take some books and a little bundled package to some trash heap logging town on the frontier. Sounds easy, until you factor in the shady men that seem to be after his cargo, and the uneasy feeling of dread creeping up on him the closer he comes to his destination. Of course, his troubles are only beginning when he drops off the package. From deliveryman to delver into dark secrets, follow Gil down the rabbit hole and see where it goes.

In the 21st century, an event known as the Great Shift of 2030 destroyed 90% of life on earth. A new race known as the Shifters emerged. 200 years later, countless wars divided what was left of civilization into two areas: The city-states controlled by the crime fighting SPA, and the badlands controlled by lawless bandits. Axel, a powerless Shifter in 2230, has vivid dreams of future events that never seem to come true. He has dreams of Joining the SPA academy and becoming an agent, but he is unable to deal with a bully at his local school. As Axel progresses and becomes stronger he begins to wonder, if his dreams are just dreams, or are they warnings from the future of a destiny he cannot escape? “1352 times I’ve been shoved in lockers, drowned in toilets, and beaten to a pulp...And yet, everyday I come back here, patiently waiting for that day....” Axel thought “You're trash! I kick your butt every morning but you never seem to get the message! Why don't you go back to where you came from? Why don't you quit this school you powerless loser!” Pb yelled into his face “Because… I believe in my dreams.” Axel began "I'm going to beat those dreams out of you!" Pb yelled kicking him in the stomach. Axel spat out a wad of blood, and looked Pb directly in his eyes. “I’ll never stop dreaming. You can beat me up as much as you like, but as long as my heart still beats, as long as my mind still thinks, I will continue to dream! No one can come between a man and his dream! The only person who can stop a man from dreaming is that man himself!” “Tomorrow is the day all this changes! Tomorrow is the day my dreams become Reality!” This novel was originally posted on Royal Road, and now I am bringing a rewritten version here. I am the original author.

Zione knew the of the World Before. The World Before had been chaotic and doomed to fail. It was the human's own fault - their greed and selfishness had corrupted their hearts and made sluggards of their minds. That was why most of the world now was barren - irradiated so bad that most of the greenery and life on the planet had died. She was alive thanks to Dr. Orange and a horde of researchers and scientists, at a single lab bored deep into the heart of the Smokey Mountains. All that was left of a top secret U.S. military experiment, the base's scientists had been lucky to be zealous about their work. Only they, and the permanent lab personnel assigned there 'round the clock, were at their work stations when the End came. They continued their work, even years after. Zione knew -she- was the work they had been so zealous for. She, and numerous other hybrids created after the breakthrough, were capable in ways that their creators were not. They were stronger, faster, and immune to the degradation of harmful radioactive waves due to the nature of the genes they were spliced with. Wolves. They could run for days, and never tire. Hunt down prey for miles. And take down the most ferocious beasts of the Wastes. ...At least in theory. So when Zione and her pack are sent out to cross to the western ocean and back for reports on how the land is faring in the wake of ultimate destruction, she doesn't hestitate for a chance to unleash like she was built for. She is a genetically engineered lycan queen, sum of all experiments before her. Capable of a monstrous form just as big and bad as any nightmare that comes her way, she is the single strongest wolf in the cluster of experiments bred there. Of course, she has a number of suitors. Her pack works just as any pack of wolves does, lead by an alpha pair who takes care of the rest. But when Zione realizes that the voice in her head is the ancient diety of the real werewolves that lived hidden amoung humans in the World Before, telling her her fated mated is elsewhere, she doesn't know what she inadvertently is getting herself into. After the scientist release the werewolves with dire warnings of what will happen if they fail, she'll lead her pack through badlands, an underground railway, treacherous secrets, surprise tribal combatants and a devious new strain of psychopaths, plus more, as she learns in this new no-holds-barred, utter insanity of a nuclear apocalypse what it means to be the savior of all mankind ~ and if that is worth giving up everything she has found her own heart longing for.
