Brave Post-apocalyptic Web Novels & Stories

"Valentina, please! We're family! You can't leave us out here!" I stared through the fortified gate at the people who had once destroyed my life. My cheating husband. His cruel mother. His ungrateful sister. The family I had sacrificed everything to protect. In my previous life, I gave them my inheritance, my savings, my parents' home, and even my blood. I went hungry so they could eat. I risked my life searching for supplies while they enjoyed their comfortable lives. And how did they repay me? My husband threw me to a horde of zombies so he could escape with his mistress. His mother laughed. His sister recorded my screams. Nobody lifted a finger to save me. I died believing my greatest mistake was loving the wrong man. I was wrong. My greatest mistake was letting them live comfortably while I suffered. Now, I've returned six months before the apocalypse, and a mysterious Revenge System has awakened inside me. Every humiliation earns points. Every enemy I defeat unlocks new rewards. Food, weapons, supernatural abilities—even the power to survive a world that devours the weak. This time, I'll stockpile supplies, build an unbreakable fortress, and become the woman nobody dares to cross. And then there are the four men who refuse to leave my side. A ruthless former special forces operative. A brilliant doctor with dangerous tenderness. A wealthy construction genius who loves a challenge. And a hacker who would burn the world for me. They want my trust. My heart. Perhaps even more. But love is a luxury I can no longer afford. When the dead rise, my enemies will come crawling to my gates. "You left me to die," I'll remind them. "Now tell me, why should I save you?" The apocalypse is coming.

In a world where ancient shifter magic clashes with the cold, neon steel of a cyberpunk dystopia, a rejected Omega and a cursed King hold the key to a revolution. Elena was supposed to be a nobody. An orphan and a packless Omega in the heavily monitored Sector Four, her wolf has remained dormant for eighteen years. But where her beast should be, Elena feels only a terrifying, ice-cold void—a chaotic energy that threatens to consume her from the inside out. When her fated mate, the future Alpha Jaxon, brutally rejects her on the night of the Blood Moon to secure a corporate alliance, she is exiled into the lawless, wild lands of Shadow Ridge.

With an ancient silver amulet linking her to a forgotten prophecy, Elena is no longer just a discarded prize. She is the weapon that will either cure the Lycan King, or burn the corporate sectors to ash.

Everyone in Cerys’s post-apocalyptic underground pack knows her as the weakest wolf in the silo. She is dependable in hydroponics, loved by her community—and every Wolf Night she returns torn apart, barely alive, with no memory of what happened outside. When Rhys, her childhood love, is chosen as Alpha, Cerys believes the future they planned together is finally within reach. Instead, he ends their relationship. He cannot keep waiting for the night she never comes home, and he cannot ignore what the pack will think of an Alpha tied to its weakest wolf. After the next Wolf Night leaves Cerys nearly dead, Elis, the healer who has known her injuries for years, becomes an unexpected source of trust, attraction, and a life that might not revolve around Rhys. Then Cerys is declared unfit to shift. She stays inside for the first Wolf Night of her adult life. By dawn, the pack returns devastated by a coordinated attack from the Lost. It is supposed to be their first assault. But the timing makes no sense. As Rhys begins to face what his choice cost him and Elis becomes a real romantic possibility, Cerys is pulled into a growing conflict with Idris, the Lost war leader, whose strange familiarity with her raises a terrifying question: What if everyone—including Cerys herself—has been wrong about the kind of wolf she really is?

Jenna spent years keeping her husband's family alive. When a supervolcano erupted and ash buried the city, they locked her out of the shelter she had helped build. She suffocated outside the hatch while her husband, Steve, watched through the gap and did nothing. With her last breath, she learned that Max, the little boy she had raised as her own, was Steve's son with his colleague Vanessa. Then Jenna opens her eyes, sixty days before the eruption. This time, she doesn't beg for a place at their table. She hands Steve divorce papers, sells everything that will be worthless once the sky turns black, and claims the one thing his family always mocked: her late grandfather's abandoned mine, buried deep enough to keep the ash out and the air clean. When Steve and his mother, Linda, try to take half of it, the deed proves it was Jenna's long before the wedding. Everyone calls her crazy for stockpiling respirators, diesel, and medicine. Only Ray, the cold and watchful captain of the mine rescue team, notices that nothing she buys is random. He doesn't trust her, but he can't ignore that she seems to know something no one else does. Then the mountain blows. The sky turns red, roofs collapse under the ash, and the same people who locked her out come pounding on her door, begging to be let in. This time, Jenna decides who lives.

Long before Lycans and witches, the Belladonnas walked the earth. They were the source of every supernatural bloodline. Now, their story is just a whisper buried in old myths.

In the middle of the chaos, Septa, a weakling, dies at the bottom of the food chain after being betrayed by those she once called family. But fate doesn't leave her buried. She wakes up in the past, memories of the world's end burning in her mind and a power in her veins she's never known before. This time, Septa plans her own survival. She hoards resources, builds her own faction, and trusts no one. Word spreads: kingdoms eye her with suspicion, conquerors see only an enemy. Men with power want her at their side. Rivals want her gone. And in the growing shadows, people whisper that maybe, just maybe, the Belladonna bloodline is not as dead as everyone thought. The end of the world didn't just unleash monsters. It woke the last Belladonna.

“Should I just burn this house down with them?” I mumbled, watching my boyfriend getting fucked. The shrill ring of my phone shattered the moment as they sprang apart, their eyes widening at the sight of me. “Shit” I cursed, “hold on” I smiled at them, picking up the call “hello! Not a good day to you. I’m at priest Paul’s house whoever you may be, please let me call you back” I rushed, ending the call without waiting for a reply. “W what are you doing here? How?” I gesture towards the opened door, “you should have made sure the door was looked before… you know, all this. Fathers. It was quite pathetic to watch two old priests groan horribly, especially with no popcorn for me to crunch.” I forced a smile on. “But I’m sorry for bursting in unannounced though, so you should continue. Keep it going zaddy, I mean b!tches. Don’t stop” I winked, walking towards the door. Amelia walked in on her boyfriend getting fucked and instead of karma to have them stricken, it decides to play a game on her instead. “How the hell am I supposed to save a tyrant as a owl? Can’t I at-least be a Tyrannosaurus?”
