The Thousand Of Us (WIP)(Updated 11/25/24)

Name: The Thousand Of Us

Genre: Superpowers/Post-Apocalyptic/ Sci-fi

Story plot:

Your story begins at what everyone largely saw as the end of the world. There was a bright flash that illuminated the night sky so brightly, it was identical to day as thousands of missiles in a last-ditch effort to save mankind collided with a ginormous asteroid entering our atmosphere.

You wake up two years later and find out that the crisis was averted, but a new crisis of similar proportions was created. The asteroid was carrying a never before seen element, mixed with the radiation that bathed the earth. It created a chain of genetic mutations that wiped out nearly the entire population of the planet and put every other living being in hibernation for two years.

For starters all adults are dead, only a thousand people 18 years of age and below around the globe survived, and the thousand of you that survived, wake up to discover that you each now have unique powers. The only problem is that you’re not the only ones that same phenomenon gave powers, also mutated every other living organism on the planet to varying degrees and they were also in hibernation for as long as you are, so they have about 2 years worth of hunger to satiate.

Would you focus on Survival and Rebuilding? or would you try to Unite or Conquer other groups of teenagers to form a more powerful force against the threats you face? Would you try to Find a Cure or Solution by striving to find a way to reverse the mutations in animals and restore the planet to its former state? or would you struggle in Navigating Moral Choices? You could Uncover Hidden Powers or struggle to Establish a Safe Haven for you and your group.

Features:

  • You can select one out of a long list of abilities, ranging from just flight to insane regenerative abilities to even earth-shaking strength or even necromancy.

  • Struggle to stay alive as you do not just have to watch out for mutated plants, animals, and even crazy weather conditions, but also have to watch out for other humans who seek to conquer and lead the rest of the survivors with their terrifying abilities.

  • You get to choose your MC’s demeanour and how you react to situations. You can be cold and calculative or you could be shy and reserved.

  • Most involved characters are up to 18 & older including the MC.

  • Hidden pathways will be made available based on certain choices made within the book that will reveal new endings and shape the LIs future just try to explore this new world.

  • There might be some explicit scenes but if there are you’ll have the option to fade to black. Mild gore might be unavoidable and there would definitely (depending on your choices though) be death scenes.

Romantic Interest:

  • I’m gonna try to make this relatable so no definite number yet but nearly every person you encounter, depending on your interaction and relationship with them can be romanced by your MC.

  • MC can romance male/female/non-binary characters.

  • I would also create LIs that exist outside of the MC to showcase that the MC’s involvement in their life created a change within them.

  • Polyamory possible.

Current Word count: 129,440 (without code) and 710,355 (with code)

:sweat_smile: Code is pretty beefed up because I want to branch this out as much as possible so you have the liberty to make whatever choice you desire and live with the consequences.

I always feel anxious when a new WIP that includes “choosing your powers” gets released. I’ve yet to see one get finished but i hope this one manages. I like it so far

Interesting WIP. ill definitely keep an eye to this. Albeit it was short, it was a great experience.

Alrighty so I have played the demo and I have to say that so far from what you’ve put in it, it is super good!

I went through and read through all the power paths and even though some are impossible and some are just rare it doesn’t really feel like you’re any less of a super powered person which is a huge plus. In terms of things like spelling mistakes I didn’t really find any but that could just be because of my lack of spelling knowledge. Other than the error with the saving of the game everything else seemed good

Hopefully this helps a bit mate the game seems great so far

A fresh and quite ingenious concept on the theme of superpowers and the plots that include dystopian worlds, quite an original plot, I loved it, I will definitely support this project, your idea is creative and fascinating and I definitely think that one day it will be a great story when It’s done, good job, sigue asi, en serio me encanto. :slightly_smiling_face: Now, without wanting to sound impatient, how often will there be updates to the demo? one a month? :thinking:

Can someone describes all the powers and the way how your MC can use and improve on them? Edit: Well, I just saw a little of necromancy just now so I gotta say… Read a little too much of Solo Leveling? Not that I mind it. If anything, I like it somewhat.
