The Last Librarian: The Custodian of Forgotten Wisdom.
The only background noise unaffected by all the events around was the monotonous hum of the air conditioner for Anya. Shuffling slowly through the deserted aisles of the Archive, she lightly played with the books' cold spines with her gloved hands. The archive wasn't a library in the conventional sense; instead, it was the digital mass of the Exodus, an inter-generational ship that carried the remainders of humankind. It was climate change that made life impossible on Earth and one lone librarian, Anya, became the custodian of all the knowledge and culture of a culture that no longer existed.

The Lucky Star
The portal had betrayed him once again. But this time, Professor Gregory Reyvannes was fortunate enough to find himself near a beach rather than a pit of quicksand. With a sigh of frustration, he waded out of the azure waters onto the soft sands of a glowing island. "You can't escape me," he muttered, shaking the water from his coat.
