Corpse Flower, a failed experimental super-soldier enhancement drug that caused the undead outbreak which wiped out 99.99 percent of the world’s population. Disguised—or rather, misused—as an effective morning-after pill, Corpse Flower turned incompatible women into the first undead, spreading the outbreak across the world and bringing the 21st century into a dark age. But even the darkest cloud has a silver lining. Among the remaining 0.01 percent of humanity, there were women who were compatible with Corpse Flower. The drug turned them half-undead, granting them strength equal to genetically enhanced super-soldiers. The Energy stored in their wombs also gave them access to Supernatural Abilities. The women who claimed the title Corpse Flower weren’t the only ones who rose up to fight the threat of the evolving undead. Chosen men, through love and lust, earned the title of Alpha, gaining a portion of power by being infected through intimacy with their half-undead lovers. And to bring hope and salvation, certain girls exist whose blood holds the power to turn the tide of war against the undead—girls known as Lycoris. After a hundred years of raging war, humanity finally began reclaiming the capital cities of old countries, building strongholds known as Florescence Academy, dedicated to training Corpse Flowers and Alphas. Yet a new threat soon arises—an Undead who has remained asleep for a hundred years, an Awakening that could end the world.

This is an era where heroes emerge in great numbers! This is an era where death and hope exist side by side! This is an era where the old order and the fires of new civilizations collide! What kind of grand epic will be written by the decaying federation, the fanatic empire, the obstinate theocracy, and the stirring foreign races?

Cait Agneau wasn't your average Beta, living deep in the Traverse tunnels. Sure, she looked like the others scrambling through the damp passageways, but she carried a secret that marked her as different—a Beta-Dominant, the rare offspring of two Beta-Dominant parents from one of those old Omegan-Betan breeding contracts. It meant educational perks, subsidies from the ABO for sure, but mostly it meant keeping her head down. Ambitious Omegas would scent her potential like blood in the water, while other Betas treated her like a walking betrayal. The worst part? She might be dying. The same vicious cancer that killed her mother when she was thirteen. Cait clenched her teeth through the first medical scans. Then the second set of labs and scans, listening as the Sector 17 doctor—supposedly progressive—warned her to keep her status quiet, even here. When her meds got delayed ("Supply chain issues," said the automated alert), Henry, her now-ex-boyfriend, had the nerve to whine about rent for their fancy apartment near her new accounting job at Thorne Inc. His breakup message pinged into her comm during her commute to work. No drama, no tears—just swift access revocation to their shared space before her shift started. She'd be able to get through it all if the medication, the only thing her shitty and unreliable father was able to do right, arrived. But things were never easy. By closing time, the office walls were dissolving into liquid patterns. Cait dug her nails into her palms, willing herself not to collapse. Getting fired during probation for "health instability" wasn't an option. Then Kieran Rose, the CEO's Omega assistant, witnessed her collapse on the elevator. And when Kieran's Alpha, Silas Thorne, got involved, Cait's carefully constructed lies began unraveling faster than the hallucinated walls. Turns out, her illness wasn't just bad luck—it was the first thread yanked from a past that would tangle them together. A world of excess, danger, lust, society-shaking secrets, and powerful men in her orbit. She is super rare. ** Adult Content, Rated 18, Adult scenes, Profanity, and an INCLUSIVE universe title. ** Promotional Trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OqKBE1WEHE

A new work from the author of 'My Senior Brother is Too Steady', welcome to enjoy it! ------------------ In the instant the Earth exploded, the fear of death finally transformed into physical torment, the agony of being scorched seared into the deepest recesses of Yang Ming's memory. "The universe is the abyss." Yang Ming murmured softly among the stars. [PS: Not a game narrative; early game settings will have a complete logical explanation later in the plot. Starting anew on a different track, this isn't in the style of previous works so don't promote it in the old way, treat me as a newcomer.

The first star that passed away extinguished two thousand years ago. Four hundred years later, the mysterious Calamity of Heavenly Fall destroyed the civilization of the previous era, returning thriving cultures to ignorance. Since then, stars gradually vanished, the Firmament grew dark and dim, and a new civilization rose from the starless wilderness, flourishing once more. Yet, what accompanied this were war, death, destruction, and hatred. The flames once aimed at the Firmament were used to slaughter the people of enemy nations, and the raining clouds once engineered to alter deserts were turned into floods that engulfed the land. Humans once again began to kill each other for wealth and power... but no one looked up at the sky. They lost the Guidance of the stars Above the Sky, forgetting the awe of gazing upon the Milky Way. They were all prisoners. One thousand six hundred years after the Calamity of Heavenly Fall, a young child awakened memories of his past life. He wanted to break the Cage, to throw off the shackles. He wanted to become a star. To return to Above the Sky. "I don't care about how the people of this world live, whether they're well-fed or not, whether they can dress warmly or live comfortably, whether they have dreams or hopes. I don't care about their loves and hates." "I just want to go Above the Sky." ——Ian.

Max, a man who has chosen a different, slower path. Most active players who haven't given up on completing the game go to higher floors soon after they get unlocked, if not immediately. However, the main character thinks that there must be a reason each world is so large and detailed. There must be a reward for exploring a world thoroughly, even if it has been cleared after defeating the main boss monster. And so, he decides to stay and do what he has always loved to do in video games, explore and discover. To embark on an epic adventure. Or maybe he was simply scared in the early stages of the game. This is a deadly game after all, one in which millions are trapped.

Death is entertainment. Survival is ranked. And the audience always decides. When Zack is dragged into a live-broadcast survival arena where every kill raises a Threat Index, he learns the truth fast—skill means nothing without attention. Alongside Mel, a woman forged into a living weapon, and Jax, a strategist who understands how narratives turn blood into profit, Zack enters the broadcast as a nobody. In a system where survival depends on fear, votes, and spectacle, obscurity is the first death. The games are designed for cruelty. Popularity decides protection. And viewers never look away. As rankings rise and the system escalates, the broadcast begins to fracture. Because the question was never how to survive. It was how much of themselves they’d lose before the broadcast was done.

Li Tang was reborn on the eve of the new millennium. He knew the trajectory of the mining market over the next twenty years, had the coordinates of every newly discovered supermine, and understood the intricate details of century-defining mergers between mining giants. While experts lamented that all the rich mines were in the hands of major players and that the giants were troubled by aging and depleting resources, turning from exploration to ruthless corporate takeovers... A group from the East kept working miracles—discovering deeply buried, shockingly rich mineral deposits again and again. From scorching deserts, frozen Arctic lands, and uninhabited primeval forests, they extracted tons of ore. Fully loaded cargo ships, the industrial lifeline, thundered across the seas toward the East. He had advanced exploration technology, wielded capital like a club, and maneuvered deftly through complex global politics—completely disrupting the mining industry's global landscape. When he speaks, the world listens. One foreign mining analyst exclaimed: “He is already the sole mining oligarch on Earth!” Thank you for the support, friends.
