Do you think death is the end of everything, including all your suffering? For Evan, it wasn’t. Instead of enjoying eternal, blissful sleep, he finds himself thrown into a post apocalyptic world, where life is nothing but a living hell. Born as a slave, he has no rights, not even the right to life or death. It seems fate enjoys mocking him. But luckily, it’s not entirely cruel. Evan has a chance to change his destiny… with the Divine Clone System. Ding! [You have awakened your first clone.] [Congratulations! Your clone has inherited the Bloodline of a God.] Evan’s own potential might be limited, but the potential of his clones is not. With the system, he can grow together with them, surviving, and perhaps even thriving, in this fallen world.

Ghost portals opened all across the world, and getting possessed seemed as common as catching a fever. As such, humanity was forced to live in safe zones that were steadily shrinking day by day. Yet to Lana, nothing was new. She was reborn on the day when the true daughter of the Almond family returned. She watched as Brenda, her murderer from the past life, was pampered by the Almond siblings. “Lana, you should know your place and leave.” Eldest Young Almond ordered with glacial disdain. “A wretch like you never belonged to the Almond Family. Pitiful mutt.” Second Young Master Almond chuckled, his venom-laced words resounding, “And if possible, stop comparing yourself to Brenda. She is a rare awakened Dream Warden, while you... sigh. Marry a beggar, and that would be the grandest achievement in your life.” “I always wondered why a dim-witted person like her ended up as our sister. Sigh... I am concerned that she might perish after being possessed by a roadside ghost.” The Third Young Master derided. For safety and peace, Lana left the Almond family and forged her own empire. Trash? She became a supreme Talisman Practitioner! Marry a beggar? The wealthy heirs in Brookvale lined up to wed her! Die in the hands of a roadside ghost? The specters in the ghost zones trembled upon hearing her name! Poor mutt? Heh! Her business empire earned her billions of dollars every single month! Even her past life’s moonlight was shamelessly flirting with her! Lana never thought that her past life's misery was orchestrated by a schemer, neither she thought that her luck was stolen away by the docile lovable daughter of the Almond family. In this life, she vowed to live a thriving life and protect her luck. She fought off ghosts haunting her world while fighting the mysterious forces. .......................................................................................... Extract “Mister, I feel a connection with you. Would you like to adopt me?” Lana fluttered her eyelashes while gazing at the handsome young man with lustrous black hair. Yet what intoxicated her the most was the radiant purple and gold aura around her past life’s moonlight! So delicious! She longed to devour him whole! “No.” His deep voice reverberated in Lana’s heart, making her freeze for a second. ‘Ah... sure enough... an untouchable flower like him... is out of my league!’ “However... I do need a silver cat.” His words were laced with ambiguity as he stared at her intently, “Especially the dauntless one that loves to sneak into my bed at night and claw my admirers.” Lana •silver cat•: “...” Ugh... no, it’s not me .....................................................................................

After countless worlds, countless missions, and more ruined women than he could be bothered to remember, the Trash Trope Intervention Division owed its best operative one final reward: retirement. He had earned it the hard way, by surviving every kind of obsession, every kind of manipulation, and every kind of beautiful disaster a bad story could throw at him. He knew how to play innocent. He knew how to play desirable. He knew how to turn sweetness into a weapon and vulnerability into a trap. Then the Division gave him one last assignment and made sure it would hurt. His final world is a near-future empire built on female power, old money, public elegance, and private cruelty. The women here are not merely dangerous. They are refined to the point of monstrosity. A cold CEO who mistakes possession for care. A woman who smiles softly even when she’s about to ruin you. A campus goddess wrapped in wealth, beauty, coldness, and quiet cruelty. A doctor who can open the mind and ruin it with steady hands. Every one of them wears perfection beautifully. Every one of them knows how to lie. Every one of them is capable of ruining him without ever raising their voice. This time, Elias is not walking into a messy romance plot he can outplay with a little patience and a better performance. He is walking straight into a polished cage built from contracts, surveillance, coercion, and desire sharp enough to cut. One wrong step, and he will lose more than the mission. He will become something to keep, control, and ruin. All he wants is to finish the job, cash out, and disappear. Unfortunately, the women circling him have started wanting something else. By now, Elias understands the rule better than anyone. The cruelest women do not corner you. They draw you in. They make you step closer on your own. Then they close their hands and call it fate.

Miracles and Monsters had both been prophesied centuries ago. They were said to be fragments of the one true god—Miracles carrying his saintlike grace, Monsters his untamed chaos.

They were all people who had died somewhere else; ordinary souls yanked from dying beds, car crashes, battlefields, and quiet hospital rooms, then dropped into this world wearing divine masks they never chose.
