World System: Apocalypse Survival Update

[EMERGENCY ALERT!] [The WORLD SYSTEM has been corrupted.] [Initiating APOCALYPSE SURVIVAL UPDATE.] APOCALYPSE SURVIVAL UPDATE: Details. Unlock Enhanced Abilities and Weapons Mastery by obtaining a lover or defeating an undead. Gain Survival Points by defeating the undead or through intimacy with your lover. Increase Enhanced Abilities and Weapons Mastery by using Survival Points. Buy equipment and supplies at the Apocalypse Shop using Survival Points. Survive 31 days until the WORLD SYSTEM resets—eliminating all the corrupted humans who have turned undead. *** They all thought it would be easy. They believed all they had to do was hole up in their house or apartment for a month without going outside like an expert NEET, or work together and play it safe while fighting the undead. But with half of the world's population turned undead and the other half nearly devoured before they could even master their newfound abilities, the survivors were forced to fight not only the ever-evolving undead but also the pathetic bastards scheming to steal others' lovers and the greedy human scum vying to dominate the new world rising within those 31 days. --- WHAT TO EXPECT: 1. A slightly perverted but super caring male lead. 2. Charming and caring, yet slightly savage female leads who toy with the feelings of other men. 3. Enhanced Abilities mean super strength, speed, and healing—basically like Captain America or the Winter Soldier. There won’t be any magic in the story… unless I change my mind. 4. The Apocalypse Shop only sells real-world items such as swords, guns, ammunition, medicine, food, clothing, and even luxury items. 5. If the 31-day story proves successful, expect an extension of the Apocalypse—lol.

Honkai Star Rail: What Should I Do If Ms.Herta Looks at Me Like This?

[Slice of Life][Single Female Lead Herta][The Protagonist Will Become an Emanator][There Will Be an Original Planet] "Ms.Herta, what do you think about your assistant Bai Luan always claiming to be not a genius?" "I won't look at him. If I see him, I will just tell him to get back to work." - This conversation is from a hasty interview with Ms.Herta. Bai Luan was reborn by the system in front of the Madam Herta in the Honkai Star Rail world. At this time, the Herta Space Station had not yet been launched, and the simulated universe had not yet been developed... The system asked Bai Luan: "Why should we respect life?" Then he gave Bai Luan two golden fingers: a small dark room with unlimited practice time and the ability to turn the items he made into magical objects. So, in order to help the system understand this, Bai Luan wanted to live a more exciting life, so he... He tricked the Ms.Herta into believing he could see destiny, letting the Aha take the blame, witnessed the launch of the Herta Space Station, became the Ms.Herta assistant and the station commander, attempted to catch a Strellarons with his hands, completed all 52 courses of the Godfather of Truth, acted like a genius in front of the Genius Club members, and helped build a simulated universe... As I spent more time with Ms.Herta, something started to look a little off in her eyes... She seemed to really think I was a genius... Wait, why is Nous looking at me too?! How did I trick you too?! Even now, if I say I'm not a genius, do you still believe me? 崩铁:黑塔女士这么看我怎么办? p*treon/Az_Ki

Tears at the Tombstone: My Rebirth to Love You

She thought she was the victim of this story. She was wrong. Nicole married the city's most powerful CEO under duress — a contract signed by her parents, a cage built from a hundred million dollars. Her heart belonged to someone else: Kelvin, her childhood love, who had a plan to set her free. Steal from the safe. Take the car. Run. She did everything he asked. In a warehouse on the edge of the city, she learned what she actually was to Kelvin: a tool. A very expensive, very temporary tool. When he accelerated his car toward her, she had nothing left — no money, no plan, no person in the world who was on her side. Except one. John had followed her. John had watched from the shadows as she robbed him, fled him, ran to another man — and when the car came for her, he stepped in front of it. He died on a concrete floor holding a ring he'd never had the chance to give her, telling her the millions she'd stolen had always been hers to begin with. Five years of poverty. Five years of replaying that night. Five years until she collapsed at his grave in the freezing rain and whispered: if I could go back— She woke up in her wedding dress. The scars are gone. The clock reads 8:30 AM, February 25th, 2026. John is in the next hallway, alive and unsuspecting, bracing himself for a bride who despises him. He has no idea he married a woman who has already grieved him. She is done running. She is done being manipulated. And Kelvin — who has no idea that his carefully laid plan has already played out in front of an audience of one — is about to discover what it costs to underestimate a woman who has nothing left to lose and everything left to protect. He once stepped in front of a car for her. This time, she intends to make certain no car ever comes.

The Tourist (Nathan R. Meendering)

A blind date she didn't want. A man she couldn't predict. A hunger she didn't know she had. Danbi is drowning. Between the crushing weight of her student loans and the suffocating expectations of her traditional Korean parents, she has no room to breathe. Her life is a performance of the "Good Daughter"—working a dead-end bookstore job she hates and smiling through the late-night anxiety in her childhood bedroom. So when her mother arranges a blind date with a "stable, church-going man," Danbi agrees. Not because she wants to, but because she’s too exhausted to fight. She expects a boring dinner. She expects to be polite. She does not expect Kell. He is calm, dangerously wealthy, and sees right through her cheap dress to the trembling anxiety underneath. He doesn't want small talk. He wants to know why she’s lying to herself. What starts as a dinner becomes an invitation into Kell’s secluded world—a glass house of silence, structure, and absolute control. For the first time, someone else takes the wheel. For the first time, the noise in Danbi's head stops. But falling for Kell isn't safe. It requires her to strip away the only protection she has ever known: her pride. As the weekend stretches on and the boundaries blur, Danbi has to decide if she’s brave enough to trade her safe, suffocating life for a freedom that requires total submission. The Tourist is Book 1 of the Kell & Danbi Duet. This volume chronicles Danbi's awakening—the moment the mask cracks and the real hunger begins.

The Mating Ritual: She Came For The Gold, But Left Thoroughly Used

Warning: This book contains a large number of very hot adult scenes!(18+ ONLY) *PLEASE DON'T READ IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO INTENSE INTIMATE SCENES* "Say you're ours." Nicholas's hand tightened around my throat....not choking, just holding, reminding me who owned every breath I took. His silver eyes burned into mine, relentless and demanding. "Say it, Lilith." "I'm yours," I whispered, and the words tasted like surrender and salvation all at once. "Louder." Sebastian's voice was dark silk behind me, his massive body pressed against my back, his hands bruising my hips. "We want to hear you scream it." Before I could answer, Lucian slammed into me from behind, filling me so completely I saw stars. The stretch, the fullness, the overwhelming sensation of being claimed....it stole every thought from my mind. "I'm....." I tried to speak, but then Nicholas was lifting my leg, positioning himself, and suddenly he was pushing inside me from the front, and I was being taken by both of them at once. Too much. Too full. Too intense. "Breathe," Nicholas commanded against my lips, but breathing was impossible when they were both moving, finding a rhythm that had me trembling violently between them. "I'm yours!" The confession finally tore from my throat as Lucian's mouth found that sensitive spot on my neck, teeth scraping, threatening to mark me permanently. "I'm yours, I'm yours, I'm yours...." "Good girl," all three of them growled in unison. "Now prove it." Lilith Thorne is drowning. Her father.....Beta of Shadowmere Pack....was murdered six months ago. Her mother overdosed on wolfsbane and lies comatose. Her boyfriend found his true mate and threw her away like garbage. And she's wolfless.....a reject in wolf society, unable to shift, worthless and invisible. With eviction looming and hospital bills crushing her, Lilith makes a desperate choice: enter the Rite, an ancient ritual where unmated Alphas can claim women for one night in exchange for gold. But she's not paired with just any Alphas. She's chosen by Lucian, Nicholas, and Sebastian Blackwood.....the Cursed Alpha Kings. Triplets cursed by the Moon Goddess to find their true mate before they turn 26, or lose themselves to their wolves forever. They have three months left. What starts as a transaction becomes an obsession. The moment they touch her, their curse quiets. Their wolves recognize something in her. And they can't let her go. But Lilith is not what she seems. She's the last daughter of the most powerful witch bloodline in existence, her magic suppressed since birth. And when that magic awakens, it will change everything. When she finally learns the truth....that breaking their curse means taking it upon herself....Lilith makes a choice that will change everything. She sacrifices herself to save them, dying in their arms while they scream her name. But death isn't the end. It's only the beginning. And when she rises from the ashes, marked by death and wielding powers she never imagined, she won't be the same broken girl who walked into the Rite. She'll be something far more dangerous. Their mate. Their queen. Their salvation. Or their destruction. Part 1: THE CLAIMING How far would you fall for three kings who worship you like a religion and claim you like a conquest? Part 2: THE RESURRECTION How dark would you become to reclaim what death stole from you? The Mating Ritual is a dark paranormal romance featuring possessive alphas, intense sexual content, a strong but broken heroine discovering her power, found family, fated mates, and a love so consuming it transcends death itself.
