Vortex Origins

"Born with power. Cursed by its cost." Ash Burns was made for greatness—and doomed by it. His hybrid vein held the promise of limitless strength, yet it shackled him in the first stage of evolution, a prisoner of his own potential. Then the asteroid exploded. It shattered his fate. Now, Ash wields the Titan Vein, a power that bends the laws of his fractured world—a planet split between humanity and horrors, divided by an impenetrable fog. But his newfound strength carries a soul-rending cost: he is no longer alone in his mind. An ancient entity, one step from godhood, stirs within him. And it’s starving. With his brothers and allies, Ash plunges into the unknown—across the planet’s cursed half, through time-warped ruins, and into the cosmic void where the gods vanished. Each revelation twists him further from human. Each power-up pulls him closer to oblivion. The more he ascends… the less of him remains. ———— WSA 2025 entry.

Dead Girls Don't Say No

Dead Girls Don’t Say No A Yuri Apocalypse Novel When the world ended, Raven Salvatore didn’t cry. She stole a truck, maxed out her father’s credit card, and built a fortress of stolen goods. Survival was never about hope — it was about hoarding, hustling, and hitting first. Then she met Alara. Beautiful. Dead. And unlike any zombie Raven had ever seen. Alara wasn’t just wandering aimlessly like the others she was aware. Hungry, yes... but for her. Something about Raven’s very existence stirred a sliver of life back into the girl's rotting heart. Armed with a mysterious system that gifts her a private Sanctuary dimension, Raven becomes a new breed of survivor. She doesn’t just dodge the undead. She cultivates food in barren wastelands, stockpiles weapons inside her pocket world, and most dangerously nurtures her own evolving zombie companion. As Raven feeds Alara crystallized nuclei from fallen zombies, Alara begins to grow stronger... smarter... closer. No one warned Raven that love would be the deadliest infection of all. With humanity’s last cities crumbling, the earth poisoned, and mutated horrors lurking in every shadow, Raven has one simple rule: "Don’t trust the living. Trust the girl who would kill for you instead." In a world where survival is bought in blood and sanity rots away like the flesh of the dead, Raven and Alara carve out a life together — violent, tender, and defiantly alive. Dead Girls Don’t Say No is a genre-bending, unapologetically queer tale of survival, devotion, and undead romance at the end of the world. For fans of brutal apocalypse sagas, dark love stories, and heroines who refuse to die quietly.

Apocalypse: Female Divine Beast Transmigrates with Special Abilities

Thalira Eleoness was a white tiger divine beast in her previous life. Because of an accident when she was wandering out of her family’s territory, she tragically died. She transmigrated as a girl with the same name in a huge planet with tens of billions population named Tenebris. A chaotic world where disasters would soon strike everywhere. Humans turned into rotting corpse—zombie, and preyed on other humans. All kinds of animals and plants mutation followed until the planet became almost uninhabitable. The original body owner died after her companions schemed against her. She regressed in time, but when she woke up again before the apocalypse time started, she was no longer the human girl Thalira, but a white tiger divine beast Thalira from another world. Thus, Thalira, who had also experienced betrayal before, vowed to help the original body owner to take revenge. She would survive surpassing the body owner’s previous age when she died—where the humanity just ushered in a new civilization and regained unexpected powers. The planet they live in became uninhabitable, forcing them to seek other habitable planets. In the process, they found a huge conspiracy. Thalira’s struggles also had just begun. Besides stocking supplies, there was a big problem. Why did she turn into a small, cute, snowy cat instead of a majestic white tiger when she tried to revert to her original divine beast form?!
