"The world you once knew has been erased. Welcome to the core of a new reality." In a single, harrowing night, Jakarta is transformed into a digital nightmare. The sky is swallowed by a mysterious golden dome, skyscrapers pulsate with raw binary code, and lethal monsters from the world-renowned game Darkness Tale Online begin to hunt humans in the very streets they once called home. The world is no longer a place for the living; it has become a colossal server undergoing a forced Integration. Arlan, a former hardcore player whose life lay in ruins long before the sky broke, awakens to a chilling new mission. He isn't fighting for glory or riches—he is fighting to protect his mother, who has been stripped of her humanity and trapped as a mindless NPC within this twisted system. While other survivors scramble to join powerful Guilds for a fleeting sense of security, Arlan chooses a different path. Armed with a "trash" class despised by all—the Sword Magician—and fueled by forbidden knowledge of the server’s secret glitches, Arlan begins to rewrite his own destiny. He isn't searching for victory. He is hunting for the truth. Because when the Integration Progress hits 100%, the old reality will be formatted and deleted forever. "If numbers determine everything in this world, then I will become the anomaly that shatters those numbers."

Kael used to be part of the “Special Army” that defended the world against “monsters.” Fourteen years ago, unknown portals that looked like black holes started to appear all around the world. After the first monster attack, humans gained extraordinary powers. Having learned their lesson, they went and attacked the monsters first before they could strike. Kael was part of the first group of “Extraordinary Humans,” who later called themselves the “Special Army.” He spent the next seven years fighting for peace. He also found the meaning of his life when the person he secretly loved also loved him back. Everything was going well… until they entered an S-Class Dungeon and his special ability was revealed to everyone. A gift of immortality, also known as “Athanasia.” He never could have guessed that his lover, the very person who gave meaning to his life, would be the same person who would take it from him. His lover killed his comrades in front of him one by one, demanding the gift. Kael gave it up willingly, but his lover still killed him in the end. Just when his lover thought he had died, Kael miraculously survived. Seven years later, his lover became the leader of the biggest and most influential guild in the world. Kael planned to live his life in hiding and live peacefully. But he never could have thought that his ex-lover was still obsessed with the “gift,” going as far as hunting each of Kael’s relatives and friends just to get his hands on the “elixir.” Now, Kael is bent on exacting revenge and stopping this monster from being loose. He will do whatever it takes. He can go as far as getting close to his ex-lover’s younger brother and using him for revenge.

I was never the other woman. I was never the only one either. One loved me from a distance. The other stood beside me every day. One accused me of cheating. The other promised he would wait. I never crossed the line. But sometimes, emotional lines are harder to see. When I finally left, no one stopped me. No one followed. Years passed. No calls. No messages. No closure. And somewhere between the silence and the healing, I realized something terrifyingly peaceful: I no longer needed to be chosen. I chose myself. This is not a story about betrayal. It’s about growing up, letting go, and finding strength in unanswered promises. If you've ever loved someone you couldn't fully have — this story is for you.

**WARNING** CONTAINS SCENES OF EXTREME PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AND DISTRESSING PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA● The heavy thud of the bridegroom’s footsteps echoed against the polished floorboards of the veranda. The pungent, sharp scent of wine mingled with the cold night air. Dazed and unsteady, he flung open the carved double doors with the reckless haste of a drunkard and stumbled inside. Hàn Yuè (汉月) sat on the edge of the bed, silent and with her head bowed. Her thin, white nightdress stood out in stark contrast to the darkness of the room, which was illuminated only by the flickering candlelight. Her chest rose and fell rapidly with every breath; she knew this union was no marriage, but a blood pact between two powerful clans. The groom cast a heavy, bleary-eyed gaze over her. He slammed the door shut and leaned against it. Hàn Yuè looked up, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. A cruel sneer played on the man’s lips as he rasped: "I still find it hard to believe that the unattainable daughter of the Lán (嵐) clan has fallen into my hands like this. Well... such was your fate; you had better get used to it. From now on, we are husband and wife, and tonight... will be memorable for us both." Without a word, Hàn Yuè rose. With a sorrowful expression, her trembling hands reached for the ties of her robe; the soft silk slipped from her shoulders and pooled onto the floor. The groom, his eyes glinting with arrogance, reached to untie his sash when, suddenly… The silence that had engulfed the room was shattered by the horrific sound of splintering wood. The broad blade of a sword pierced through the wooden door with unrestrained violence, passing straight through the groom's spine. The bloodied tip of the blade protruded from his abdomen, stopping directly in front of Hàn Yuè’s terrified eyes. Pinned to the door, the groom’s eyes bulged from their sockets as his body convulsed. A stifled, rattling sound emanated from his throat. Hàn Yuè covered her mouth with trembling hands and staggered back in horror. A moment later, the shadow behind the door pulled the sword out with a swift, ruthless motion. A fountain of blood sprayed from the groom’s mouth, splattering the floorboards and staining the girl’s white skirt. The man’s knees gave way, and he collapsed face-first onto the ground. Hàn Yuè’s long, piercing scream echoed through the cold air of the chamber, whilst dark red droplets of blood had left their mark upon the white silk of her gown. **ABSTRACT** Prince Hēiláng (黑狼), desperately enamoured with the noblewoman Hàn Yuè, finds his path to union thwarted by formidable political machinations. In his quest to claim her, he strikes a perilous bargain—a choice that irrevocably alters the course of their lives and unleashes consequences far more brutal than he had ever conceived.

“She is human… yet her heart is reckless enough to love what the world fears and condemns. He is a vampire… a creature of the night who has waited in silence through centuries of darkness.

Their fate will drag them across the ruthless boundaries of blood and time, where devotion demands sacrifice, and love tastes of both salvation and ruin. This is no mere forbidden romance it is a defiance of destiny itself, a vow to stand together… even if the universe burns for it.”

A thousand years ago, a mysterious asteroid crashed into Earth, nearly wiping out all life on the planet. However, stubborn humanity survived, gaining strange powers after being infected by a virus the asteroid carried with it—and that was not the only thing that came with the catastrophe. Abominable creatures flooded the world, and Dimensional Portals opened, bringing forth the Aberrations. In the present day, Nova Asmodai is a Seventh-level Empath who fights the Aberrations emerging from the Portals alongside his closest friends.

He uses his Spectrum of Serenity—which secretly prevents him from understanding other people’s emotions—to enhance his allies’ powers. After all, he is a Support. One day, however, during a visit to a nearby city to watch battles between elite Empaths and Aberrations, Nova is thrown into a portal by a mysterious and invisible force, becoming trapped on the other side. Now, stranded in a dystopian desert filled with monsters, he must survive if he wants to make it back home.

This will be a long journey of over two thousand chapters. Are you ready?

When the power dies in Savannah, it doesn’t come back on—it wakes the dead. As the city collapses into chaos, the Leesburg family is torn apart across multiple frontlines. Dr. Sharon Leesburg barricades her floor inside a failing hospital, sealing herself in with women in labor, newborns barely hours old, and staff already breaking from exhaustion. Below them, emergency rooms become feeding grounds. Above them, there is nowhere left to run. Every decision she makes costs lives—she just has to choose which ones. Her husband, Dr. Ellis Leesburg—a top-clearance military neuroscientist stationed at Hunter Army Airfield—races to contain an outbreak he helped study, only to realize it has already breached the base. Whatever safeguards were in place failed quietly, efficiently, and far too late. Their children are scattered through a city gone dark. Six-year-old Ella Belle, the heart of the family, never makes it home from school. She vanishes somewhere between early dismissal and total collapse—leaving no answers, no trace, and no time. Twenty-three-year-old Justin Leesburg is forced into leadership on the streets, navigating dead zones and back alleys with dwindling supplies, a handful of traumatized survivors, and the constant fear that every step away from home is a step farther from his missing sister. His younger sister Tally—volatile, reckless, and desperate to matter—keeps dragging danger toward them, mistaking noise for courage and control for heroism. Mari, Justin’s partner, is pushed past patience into brutal honesty. Kenzie, a quiet survivor carrying her dog and the memory of her family’s deaths, learns quickly—because silence, not strength, keeps you alive. This is not a story about clever zombies or easy survival. The dead react to sound. The living react to fear. Every choice is loud. Every mistake echoes. And while the horde closes in from the outside, the real danger fractures the people still breathing—grief, guilt, rage, and the unbearable question haunting them all: Where is Ella Belle? Surviving Zombies is a visceral, character-driven apocalypse that strips away hero fantasies and replaces them with moral collapse, trauma, and the brutal truth of survival: you don’t just fight the end of the world—you fight each other, and yourself, while it’s happening.

When a battle-hardened soldier from a dying Earth is pulled through a portal by nine divine beings, he expects death—not a front-row seat to their entertainment. Veyrion awakens in Eclipsera, a celestial realm where gods watch mortal worlds like gladiatorial games. Their offer is simple: become the new Demon Lord of their experimental kingdom, play your role, and when the hero finally kills you, earn a place among them. Veyrion refuses. But gods don't take rejection well. Thrown into a world where humans and demons slaughter each other for divine amusement, Veyrion must survive using nothing but his tactical mind and a mysterious chain-cane that transforms at his will. As he carves a path through enemies who don't know whose side he's on, he catches the attention of the one god the others fear—Selynth, the Ninth, whose power was sealed by betrayal.
