apocalypse

Soren Valmere, unawakened and treated as family garbage, is forced into an arranged marriage with Ethea Morvain, the once-legendary Ice Empress now completely paralyzed after a catastrophic Gate incident. Both families exile them to a modest house in a working-class neighborhood, washing their hands of two "problems" they no longer want to deal with. But on their wedding night, Soren awakens a hidden power: the Investment Authority. Whatever he invests in Ethea—time, money, care, emotion—returns to him amplified by 10,000 times when she achieves breakthroughs. Buy her medicine with his last credits? Receive a hundred million in return. Spend sleepless nights helping her move a single finger? Gain decades of martial experience instantly. Risk his life to save hers? Unlock abilities that shatter the heavens. As he pours everything into the wife everyone abandoned, Ethea slowly transforms from a broken doll into something that surpasses even her legendary past. And Soren? The "worthless" unawakened trash becomes the most dangerous investor the world has ever seen. Their families wanted to forget them. The world dismissed them as failures. They're about to learn that the greatest returns come from investing in someone everyone else deemed worthless. "You threw us away. Now watch us rise." _______ _____ _ Author's Note: Hey everyone!

An Intergalactic Survival Reality TV Show. ARE. YOU. READY?! Grey was not. Not when there was already knife sticking out of his gut. He was even less ready when he woke up to a strong bout of deja vu and time having rewound to the start of his nightmare. And somehow, he was even less ready than that when it happened again. And then again. Grey was trapped in a time loop, suffocated by Producers who insisted on painting him out to be some streaking madman, and surrounded by monsters and backstabbers around every corner. Unfortunately, the robot arms supposed to apply his Nexis Suit at the start of every loop kept glitching so he couldn't interface with the system of the Genesis Games. No system. No stats. No rewards. He'd be damned if he didn't piss on every one of their graves. [Warning. Obscene gesture detected] [This is your first warning. If there is a second--] "FUCK YOU!"

In her previous life, Stella Sterling struggled bitterly in the apocalypse for seven years. When she opened her eyes again, she was back one month before the apocalypse, being cornered and beaten up by people hired by her adopted sister. Given a second chance, how could she still let others beat and curse her? You want my life? Heh heh, you'll have to pay with your own life first! Rolling up her sleeves, she charged forward, grabbing a club and smashing it at them. Of course, the most important thing was still to hoard supplies. No money, what to do? Win the lottery, sell jewelry, sell, sell, sell everything useless, and then buy, buy, buy. If that's still not enough, it's time for some "zero-dollar shopping." In this life, she wouldn't have an empty dimensional space with no supplies; she wanted to be the wealthiest person in the apocalypse, and the most ferocious blade! What, those thugs still want to sue her? It's the apocalypse, so I'm going to be lawless, so what!!! Everyone said the young lady of the Sterling Family had gone mad overnight, selling off gifts from her elders to frantically amass wealth, disrespecting her elders, and becoming despised by all. Stella Sterling laughed loudly, "That's right, I'm mad. I don't just want to be despised by all, I want to be feared by all!"

Josie Quinn is reborn. Between her scumbag ex and upgrading her powers, she decisively ditches her romantic delusions and chooses to get close to others to become stronger! She had planned to fake her death, run away, and live a carefree life, but who knew that upon opening her eyes, she'd find herself "thoughtfully" locked in a future powerhouse's room by Alice Sullivan. In her past life, she was so scared she cowered in a corner. This life, she locks the door from the inside: "Thanks, I'll take this assist!" After Josie Quinn discovers that intimate contact with the powerful can accelerate the awakening of her abilities, she completely lets herself go, activating her "Apocalyptic Player" mode: A kiss from the gentlemanly scoundrel professor, and her powers shoot up! A hug from the deranged mercenary king, and her combat power soars! Even that mysterious, high-level psychic is teased by her until his ears turn red: "Josie Quinn... are you sure this is for upgrading?" Later— Landon Hughes awakens his past life's memories. Realizing he wrongly trusted another and caused the death of the woman he loved most, he kneels and begs for forgiveness with reddened eyes: "Cece, I was wrong, please give me one more chance..." Before Josie Quinn can even speak, several powerhouses behind her sneer in unison. Landon Hughes is sent flying with a kick. A certain mercenary leisurely wipes his hands: "Crematorium? I'll scatter your ashes for you." Later still, Alice Sullivan cries her eyes out: "Josie, I shouldn't have harmed you back then..." Josie Quinn hands her a script with a beaming smile: "Don't worry, I've arranged your center-stage zombie role for you~" #TheFakeDeath, TheRealThrillIs #AQuickCuddleIsNice, ButConstantCuddlesAreNicer #CremateTheEx?
