Under The Cherry Blossom Tree

The beginning of the apocalypse brought chaos and disaster to humanity. It tore away the mask of society and revealed the cruelty hiding beneath. Ivy Ravencroft experienced it all firsthand. Her family was unfair and cruel, and they abused her so badly that she went blind. Her lover died trying to protect her, and she spent the next five years struggling to survive, until she finally died in the apocalypse. But then, Ivy woke up again, reborn in the first year of the apocalypse. At first, she felt hopeless. If only she had returned to a time before the apocalypse, she could have gathered food, weapons, and supplies to survive better. Still, she was grateful for one thing: she had kept her special ability, the power to create safe zones. This time, Ivy made a promise. She would protect her lover, find her real family, and take revenge on everyone who had hurt her. .................................. "Huh? Why is there a bento box lying here?" Ivy asked, confused. "What bento? Are you trying to trick me again?" Silas asked, sadness in his eyes. "This one!" Ivy said, holding up the packaged meal and waving it at him. "What the... where did that come from?" Silas stared at it in shock. Ivy’s eyes widened. She realized something, only she could see these items, and when she picked them up, they became real. "Can… I buy it from you?" Silas asked, unsure. "Of course. But I won't give it to you for free." Ivy smiled like a fox. Silas closed his eyes; he was ready for her to demand something sky-high and said, "Okay. Tell me how many gold bars you want." Ivy smiled and teased, "I don't want gold bars; they are way too cheap. I want one kiss." Silas: Blushing hard. His subordinates: "..." This wave of dog food was too unexpected! ....................................................... With the supplies, picking a superpower and a safe zone superpower, Ivy built her own residential area. She gained Kindness Energy and multiplied supplies with the help of Temporal Storage. While other bases struggled to make a simple house, she used her golden finger to make luxurious buildings and rent them out, becoming the big shot in the apocalypse.

“No one looks at you. No one touches you. You’re a Whitehall now... And you’re mine.” Roman’s voice was a low, dangerous growl against her neck. She tilted her chin, meeting the predator in his eyes with her own cold fire. “I belong to no one, Roman, certainly not a beast in a jersey. If you want to claim me, you’ll have to do better than your father’s signature on a contract.” She spun her wheelchair to leave, but he was faster. His hand locked around her waist, dragging her back as his palm slammed against the wall beside her head. “Don’t you fucking dare me, Estelle.” — Estelle Rutledge was the Ice Queen of the Rutledge sports dynasty: national treasure, global brand, and the financial backbone of her family’s empire. Until one catastrophic crack on the ice shattered her career… and left her in a wheelchair. In the elite world of the one percent, a broken asset becomes a liability. With the Rutledge legacy collapsing under a mountain of debt, Estelle’s own mother did the unthinkable. She sold her daughter to the highest bidder, trading Estelle’s freedom for a check from Magnus Whitehall, the ruthless billionaire owner of a professional hockey empire. But Magnus didn’t buy Estelle for himself. He bought her to be his son’s leash. Roman Whitehall is the NHL’s most dangerous beast. A volatile heir with a scandal-soaked reputation and a temper that threatens the family’s billions. To the league’s board, he’s a loose cannon. To his father, he’s a problem that needs a wife to clean up his image. The command was simple: “Be the one thing he can’t avoid… or lose your legs.” Now Estelle is legally bound to a man who sees their marriage as a cage, and her as the bars holding him in. Roman believes she’s a fragile burden. Estelle thinks he’s a monster fueled by rage and secrets. But inside the Whitehall mansion, built on power, money, and lies, Estelle discovers a terrifying truth: she is not the first “Ice Queen” Magnus Whitehall has broken. Trapped in dynasty politics and a contract signed in blood, Estelle faces an impossible choice. Will she let the Whitehalls destroy what’s left of her… or join forces with the beast she hates most and burn their empire to the ground? Because even though she hates it, Roman Whitehall may be the only man who can help her stand again. Even if he has to break her first.

Seungho Jeon was a corporate analyst who lived by numbers until a delivery truck turned him into the third prince of the Demonic Cult. While the original protagonist, Cheon Yeo-woon, receives futuristic nanomachines to become a hero, Seungho is bound to the Demonic Orthodoxy Inversion System (DOIS)—an ancient, sentient artifact that feeds on moral decay and broken bonds. To survive the cutthroat succession war, he must utilize Nanomachine Infection Parasitism to bridge the gap between his occult corruption and Yeo-woon's high-tech evolution. In a world of qi and martial honor, Seungho is a virus in human skin, treating the cult's hierarchy like a hostile takeover where the only dividend is survival. He isn't here to win the throne fairly; he's here to ensure that when the "Heavenly Demon" finally rises, he owns the soul of the god.

A boy dies in the snow. Ryan, the son of a hunter, watches his village burn and his family fall beneath a rain of arrows. Left for dead and thrown into a pit of corpses, his story should have ended there. But death refuses to take him. In the darkness between life and the afterlife, Ryan is given a choice: peace… or power. An ancient being offers him a cursed gift—the Eye of Death. A power that grants immortality, steals the souls of the slain, and slowly drives its bearer into madness. With it comes an impossible task: hunt and kill the gods themselves. But power has a price. Before he can rise again, Ryan is forced to relive the life he lost—his home, his family, the warmth he will never have again—only to watch it all burn once more. Again. And again. And again. Most who took this power broke. Ryan did not. Now reborn into a cruel world ruled by gods, monsters, and men alike, Ryan walks a path soaked in blood and haunted by the voices of the dead. He is no longer just a boy. He is a curse. And the hunt for gods has begun.
