Nova Reyes has no powers, no money, and now — no freedom. When her father's gambling debt finally comes due, he does the unthinkable: he sells her. Nova is handed to debt collectors who deal in powerless girls. She has one night to escape before everything is decided for her. She almost makes it. On the night she runs, gunfire rips through the building. In the smoke and chaos, a cold, beautiful stranger pulls her from the wreckage. His name is Zane Voss — the most feared powered man on the East Side. He says he saved her. Nova knows better. One cage just became another. But Zane has enemies who want her dead. Nova has a secret even she doesn't know yet. And the bond forming between a man who owns everything and a girl who lost everything? Nobody saw that coming. They sold her like she was nothing. She will rise like she was always everything.

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!

[EMERGENCY ALERT!] [The WORLD SYSTEM has been corrupted.] [Initiating APOCALYPSE SURVIVAL UPDATE.] APOCALYPSE SURVIVAL UPDATE: Details. Unlock Enhanced Abilities by obtaining a lover or defeating an undead. Gain Survival Points by defeating the undead or through intimacy with your lover. Buy equipment and supplies at the Apocalypse Shop using Survival Points. Survive 31 days until the WORLD SYSTEM resets—eliminating all the corrupted humans who have turned undead. --- They all thought it would be easy. They believed all they had to do was hole up in their house or apartment for a month without going outside like an expert NEET, or work together and play it safe while fighting the undead. But every hour that followed became a constant fight for survival. With half of the world's population turned undead and the other half nearly devoured before they could even master their newfound abilities, the survivors were forced to fight not only the ever-evolving undead but also the bastards scheming to steal others' lovers and the greedy human scum vying to dominate the new world rising within those 31 days. *** WHAT TO EXPECT: 1. Enhanced Abilities mean super strength, speed, stamina, and healing—basically like Captain America or the Winter Soldier. There won’t be any magic, mana, energy, or detailed power hierarchy in the early part of the story. 2. The Apocalypse Shop only sells real-world items such as swords, guns, ammunition, medicine, food, clothing, and even luxury items. 3. If the 31-day story proves successful, expect an extension of the Apocalypse—lol.

The weakest girl in the apocalypse accidentally became the obsession of multiple apex predators. Unfortunately for them, predators don’t share easily. Felicity was supposed to die on the first day of the apocalypse. Zombies devour the weak. Beastmen rule the ruins of human cities. Strength decides everything now. Felicity has none. Small, soft spoken, and completely unsuited for a world like this, she survives only because Victor finds her first. Victor is a winged apex predator feared by every beastman who crosses his path. He does not protect strangers. But once he chooses something… he does not let it go. Unfortunately for him, other predators have started noticing her too. A wolf who watches too quietly. A snake whose patience feels dangerous. A lion who refuses to leave her side. Predators who should never share anything. Except her. Because something about Felicity is changing them. And in a beast ruled apocalypse, predators were never meant to share. Unfortunately for them, Felicity might be worth learning how.

On a storm-soaked night, the Unezugawa District is consumed by devils born from humanity’s deepest fears. Seventeen-year-old Haruto watches helplessly as the Abandonment Devil—an entity forged from the terror of being left alone—slaughters his parents before his eyes. Yet when the monster corners him, something is wrong. Haruto does not tremble. He does not beg. He feels… nothing. His emptiness draws the attention of something far worse. In a flash of crimson, the legendary Crimson Devil appears—an ancient entity once believed to have nearly triggered the apocalypse centuries ago before being sealed by exorcists. Fascinated by the boy who cannot fear, it offers Haruto a contract: Power beyond human limits… In exchange for a precious memory each time he uses it. Haruto accepts. But there is a truth no one knows. The Crimson Devil dwelling inside him was once meant to begin the end of the world. Instead of destroying humanity, it chooses something unthinkable—it spares the brave and forms a covenant with one. To prevent future catastrophes and hunt the very devils born from mankind’s fear, Haruto joins the Exorcists—the same organization that once fought against the Crimson Devil itself. Now feared by devils… Suspected by humans… And slowly losing the memories that make him who he is… Haruto walks the thin line between salvation and annihilation. Because if the devil inside him ever changes its mind— The apocalypse will not be stopped.

That night, at the celebration banquet held at the base, Gu Xi took the fine wine handed to her by a companion, and then... she collapsed headfirst.

Although human society had restored order, a new food crisis arose—after plants and animals underwent a second mutation, a bizarre energy that the human body could not digest, absorb, or excrete through metabolism suddenly appeared within them. And she, Gu Xiaoxi, also had a brand-new identity—a refugee girl picked up from the ruins by a group of pioneers. The newly-minted undocumented girl, Gu Xiaoxi: No more fighting and killing, no more shouldering the future of all humanity; just needing to cultivate one hundred acres of wasteland to achieve the simple dream of eating well, drinking well, and getting a peaceful night's sleep is pretty good.
