    Summary

    There were too many, with the same debilitating affliction. In varying degrees of severity, from unresponsive hands, to full body paralysis. The latter of which begged to be put out of their misery. The water was the source of our suffering, poisoning all life around it. Soon, the gnawing hunger and thirst dulls the senses of many. Fury, fear and despair surfaces from the minds of once honorable beings. Now driven mad, cornered and forced to act.

    What would you do in the face of extinction?

    Summary

    After the War for Liberation, City 31 stands against the odds. A tentative peace exists within its borders. But the war's closing battles rage on elsewhere, and scavengers continue to toil as everyone desperately seeks scraps of the old regime's technology in order to maintain some semblance of civilized life.

    When a massive batch of fertilized viper eggs is found in an ADVENT storage facility, City 31 takes up the cause. Fearful that disposal would look bad to its non-human population, the city asks its resident vipers for assistance in raising the young.

    Jia, a former soldier turned schoolteacher, considers the offer. Already familiar with human children and further enticed by the promised increase in basic income, she asks herself: how hard could it be?

    Summary

    It is the year of our lord 850, the once-great Western Roman Empire, divided through succession, is no more, and the sons of the empire fight over her remains; as the pagans in the north and in the east, and the saracens in the south, watch their lands hungrily from the edges of civilization. Europe is in chaos, as squabbles between brothers turn into long bloody wars. The Kings muster their levies for war, leaving the lesser nobles within their lands with nothing but the minimum garrisons. Many men are forced to pay the price for these decisions, but this story follows one man: the son of a Duke. Thrust into a world he knows nothing about, set against a task few men would be brave or foolish enough to agree to outright. A shadow of these lands' past calls for him. To most, it is considered a death sentence, but to him perhaps it is an opportunity.

    Summary

    The war for Humanity's autonomy is over, the alien despots of Advent have been overthrown by Xcom and a new age is on the horizon. However, world changing events do not occur without a price. Power vacuums were created in Advent's absence, their alien pawns, once completely under control, now have found their own autonomy, the land and its people are forever changed by their presence. All that's left for Humanity and Xcom to do is pick up the pieces, rebuild, and decide what to do with their former enemies. In a successful city state, located in territory once called the United States, a young man, from humble beginnings, does NOT have the power to fix ANY of these problems. To be fair, it's a big job, and he has his own problems to deal with. Life in the city isn't easy, everyone has to contribute, even him. And it's hard to decide what you want your future to look like, especially in a world filled with so many possibilities, but perhaps his new job will give him some direction. Will he be driven insane by the mundane environment and monotonous labor? Probably. But, will he also meet someone who interests him enough to pull him out of his comfort zone? You'll have to read to find out.
