Lucas transmigrates to a parallel world and is thrilled to discover that many of the classic, brilliant games from his past life don’t exist here. Eager to make his mark, he’s also burdened with an "Emotion Collection System"—where players’ emotions like joy, sorrow, excitement, fear, and anger from his games make him stronger. But why is it so much easier to harvest resentment than happiness? Staring at his point earnings, Lucas is utterly baffled. And so, his career as a game designer takes a… creative turn. In Undertale, players slam their desks and scream: "I’m the one being played by this game!" In Outlast, players shriek: "The locker moved! I quit—NOPE!" In Dark Souls, players cheerfully boot up the game, only to beg: "Leave the Fire Keeper and GET OUT! Take your damn flame with you—we refuse to link it!" In Call of Duty, Soap, Roach, and Ghost meet tragic ends; in Final Fantasy VII, Zack falls in battle and Aerith meets her fate; in Red Dead Redemption, Arthur and John are betrayed… Players collectively rage: "DAMN YOU, LUCAS, YOU SADISTIC OLD FOX! CAN’T YOU BE KINDA TO YOUR PROTAGONISTS?!" When asked by a reporter how he feels about players’ fury, LUCAS smiles faintly: "This isn’t hatred—it’s the world’s players urging me forward! This is LOVE! Thank you all; I’ll keep up the good work!"

Leo Thorne didn’t just fall in love with Maya Vance; he anchored himself to her. And Maya didn’t just love Leo; she found the only shore she ever wanted to crash against. Beginning in the quiet corners of a high school art room, their connection was instant—a slow-burning fuse that spanned fifteen years of longing, leaving, and learning. He was the steady artist, terrified of the tides of change; she was the ambitious musician, desperate to fly but paralyzed by the guilt of leaving him behind. Together, they were perfect. Together, they were a tragedy waiting to happen. The Sound of Breaking Waves is a journey from the innocence of teenage notebooks to the brutal reality of adulthood. It is a story of green flags with jagged edges—two people who are fiercely loyal, yet flawed; kind, yet deeply scarred. Their love is a safe haven filled with laughter, soothing touches, and the kind of friendship that feels like home. But when the pressure builds, their conflicts are rare, explosive hurricanes—moments of loud, chaotic screams that don't wound the skin but shatter the soul, born not from hate, but from the sheer desperation of wanting to be enough. From the heart-stopping awkwardness of first kisses to the hollow ache of separate beds in separate cities, readers will watch Leo and Maya try to navigate a world that seems determined to pull them apart. They will fight. They will break. They will date others. They will scream at the universe. But through the trauma of family loss and the crushing weight of expectations, the invisible string between them never snaps. Tear-jerking yet soothing, devastating yet full of hope, this is a story for anyone who has ever loved someone enough to let them go—and prayed they would come back.

God decided humanity had failed. Not with grief. Not with hesitation. With the quiet certainty of a creator who had watched long enough. The angels came not to punish but to erase. To clear the ground for something worth building. The world that humanity had constructed on vanity, lies, and the slow rot of everything sacred was not worth saving. It was worth ending. Most fought back. Most prayed. Most made their pacts with the principles of a dying world and called it resistance. Solandre Sanislas was not most people. In a war between the divine and the damned, between creators and their failed creation there are those who fight for survival, and those who fight for something they cannot name and will not explain. He is neither savior nor martyr. He carries no banner. He speaks no oath. But the angels noticed him. And what the angels notice they do not forget. The last era has begun. Not every story ends with the right people standing. Some stories end with the truth.

In a world ruled by power, reputation, and control, a single deception binds two lives together in a marriage that was never meant to exist. When Elva Williams, a quiet, middle-class orphan raised under the shadow of the Rodriguez family, is forced to take the place of Victoria Rodriguez at the altar, she steps into a life that was never hers. What begins as a temporary arrangement quickly turns into a prison when she is married to Matthew Salvatore—a cold, calculating military officer known for his authority and ruthless control. Unknown to everyone, Matthew is fully aware of the deception from the very beginning, yet he chooses silence, using the situation as a weapon to take revenge on the Rodriguez family. Inside the grand Salvatore mansion, Elva lives like a caged bird—surrounded by luxury yet stripped of freedom. While Matthew’s parents treat her with warmth, unaware of the truth, Matthew himself remains distant, dominant, and dangerously unpredictable. What starts as control slowly shifts into something far more complicated. Beneath his cold exterior, a growing obsession takes root—one he neither understands nor tries to stop.Elva, however, refuses to lose herself. With a dream of becoming a doctor, she clings to her ambition as the only piece of her identity that remains untouched. But when Matthew begins to tighten his control, denying her even the chance to pursue her future, she realizes she must escape—or risk losing everything. On her eighteenth birthday, she makes her move. With nothing but courage and desperation, Elva escapes the mansion, leaving behind a letter that reveals the truth of her identity and the deception that brought her there. While the Salvatore household is shaken by the revelation, Matthew is left with something far more dangerous than anger—an emptiness he cannot ignore. As days turn into weeks, his search for her becomes relentless. He neglects his duties, loses control of his discipline, and descends into a quiet obsession that consumes him entirely. Meanwhile, Elva rebuilds her life from nothing. Living in a small rented room, she studies, works, and fights for the future she almost lost. For the first time, she experiences freedom—fragile, uncertain, but real. Yet even in her new life, the past lingers, refusing to fade. Because Matthew Salvatore does not forget. Realizing she would never abandon her dream, he begins searching where it matters most—colleges. One by one, he checks every institution until fate finally brings them face to face again. What follows is not a reunion, but a capture. In a moment that strips away her hard-earned freedom, Matthew takes her back—this time with no intention of letting her go. Back in the mansion, the truth is no longer hidden. His family demands punishment. They demand a proper marriage, a rightful bride, a restoration of honor. But Matthew refuses them all. In a declaration that shifts everything, he claims Elva openly—not as a mistake, but as his responsibility, his decision, his possession. Trapped once again, Elva finds herself facing a harsher reality. This time, escape is no longer an option. Matthew tightens his control, even going as far as taking away her education—her dream—as punishment for running away. But instead of breaking, something inside her changes. She stops running. She starts planning. Realizing that force will never win against someone like Matthew, Elva chooses a different path—one of strategy, patience, and quiet rebellion. If she cannot escape the cage, she will make the one who built it open the door himself.As obsession deepens and resistance sharpens, their relationship transforms into a dangerous battle of will and emotion. Control clashes with freedom, power with identity, and somewhere in between, something far more complicated begins to take shape—something neither of them is ready to name.In a world where one refuses to let go and the other refuses to surrender, the question remains— Will she ever truly be free?

In this world, people weren't just people. They were what they were born as. The mark decided everything. It decided where you lived, what school you went to, how people spoke to you… even how they looked at you. Melody had heard it before, from her parents. Gray families stayed in the smaller houses. Sometimes their lights didn't even work. People spoke over them, ignored them… like they weren't really there. White markers had more. Bigger homes. Cleaner streets. People didn't push them around as much. They were… safer. And Black markers? Melody had only seen them from far away. They lived where the city shined the brightest—where the buildings touched the sky and everything looked perfect. When they walked, people moved out of their way without being told. No one argued with them. No one could. Her parents always spoke about them in quiet voices, like even saying "Black mark" too loudly might bring trouble to their door. And the Gray markers Being a Gray marker wasn't just about being poor. It was worse than that. It meant people had already decided you didn't matter. Copyright © 2026 Zoey7. All rights reserved.

Dead City Protocol: The Empire of Undead. By: Deepspacelore. In the year 3046, Luna City exists beneath SKYHAVEN — a floating city of the military elite, suspended above the surface by advanced gravity technology. **Nana Wang** (20) is a newly licensed hunter who eliminates mutated creatures in the forest zones surrounding Luna City. She is cheerful, chaotic, and completely devoted to her adopted older brother **Caleb Xia** (25), a SKYHAVEN Flight Colonel who has quietly loved her as more than a sister for years — a feeling he will carry to his grave without ever saying. When Nana is assigned a new partner — **Xavier Shen** (23), a cold, precise S-Class solo hunter with silver hair and a blade he uses like an extension of thought — neither of them expects what follows. Across bubble tea dates, claw machine victories, forest missions, and long evenings talking about nothing important, something grows between them. Nana names the feeling on a rooftop during the end of the world, while holding a pink bunny he caught for her instead of his cousin. The end of the world arrives because of two brothers who loved their mother too much to let her go. Scientists Adrian and Ryan Zhao create a serum to resurrect their recently deceased mother. It works — but wrong. The serum suppresses reason, amplifies aggression, eliminates pain response, and spreads through bite. Within days, Luna City falls. The infected move like water: patient, endless, hungry. The hospital mortuary door doesn't hold. The streets don't hold. The evacuation plaza doesn't hold. Nana and Xavier survive together — six days of rope made from curtains, floors descended one by one, bus rooftops surrounded by the horde, one earphone shared in the dark so she doesn't have to hear the screaming. Caleb descends from SKYHAVEN alone, fights through the city, and finds what he believes is her body in the street — three hours of carrying that before her voice comes through the radio. They reunite. They reach SKYHAVEN. Then SKYHAVEN falls. The gravity technology fails when the operators below die in the outbreak. The floating city crashes. Xavier is separated — waking badly injured on a rooftop, alone, surrounded by the dead. Caleb gets Nana out. They survive in the mountains with a small group while the city below finishes becoming what it is. Xavier survives differently. He learns to walk among the walkers — hood pulled low, raincoat smeared with their scent, two de-armed walkers on chains behind him, dual swords in his hands. His only goal: find her. He discovers his family in the Azure District. His cousin Lily, seven years old, is in a parked car with her white bunny. He stands there for a long time. He does what needs doing. He carries this alone, the way he carries everything. Nana is separated from Caleb in a night raid. She survives alone — sleeping in car trunks, in trees, riding a stolen motorcycle with a crossbow. She doesn't stop moving. She never stops moving. Eventually, she sees him. A man walking calmly among the walkers. Two chained walkers following him with backpacks. Dual swords. Silver hair under a hood. She has a question she never got to ask. A story about the end of the world, the people who survive it, and the difference between the love that holds you together and the love that keeps you going.

What will you do if you go back in time with an advance AI from 2031? Will you stay still or dominate the world? Follow along Xavier's path of world domination. Wealth, Industries, Tech, and Entertainment will all be conquered! #Rebirth #TechEmpire
