Summary
Twelve thousand years ago humanity pushed itself to the brink of extinction. Years of war and greed had resulted in a cataclysm so bad the ground hid its face in shame.
Now they’re back. The two warring parties have returned, and are both vying for something buried deep underneath what was once Japan. The salvation of one group, and the death of another.
Of course, someone had to build a city on top of it.
Now, two humans stuck far from home, a faction bent on their destruction, one trying desperately to save them, and the New Squidbeak splatoon are caught in the middle. Nothing is certain except one thing. Humanity isn’t going down without a fight.Bookmarked by Lizardgrunt

Summary
#3 Most Hits for the "Human in Splatoon" Tag, let's goooooo!!! Edit: as of January 2025, no longer number 1... I expected something like this to happen. XD
Kelp is an assistant to Professor Shellendorf the 2nd. (Professor Shell for short.) They have been on an expedition to the Splatlands to find possible artifacts from ancient times. They don't find any, but they do stumble across a living fossil. They are not sure how it survived in the Splatlands for so long, but they are determined to take it back with them and study it. It seems intelligent, but there is a slight problem... That being a language barrier.
(For clarification. All characters in romantic relationships in this fic are 18 or older. No smut, references to smut later though. The mature rating is for language and anatomy talk as a precaution. Also, you do not need to read the past parts of this series to understand much. It just adds a bit of lore and explains a few things not really talked about in this one, but not necessary.)

Summary
Twelve thousand years is a long time to be forgotten. Long enough for war to become myth, for humanity to become a bedtime story, for the last human alive to wake up as nothing more than a rumor with a pulse.
Brad Raymond didn't survive the extinction of his species through heroism. He survived through the same dumb luck and stubborn competence that let him survive everything else. Now, trapped in a derelict bunker with a squad of Octolings, and something darker lurking underneath, he has to do it again.
Grimdark worldbuilding, slow-burn found family, even slower-burn romance, and a war that never really ended.
It just changed form.
