Snow, a phenomenon kids see as magical and wonderful as it only comes in winter, but in truth, snow is an atmospheric water vapor frozen into ice crystals and falling in light white flakes. Yes, snow is believed to only come in winter, but not in this reality. In this world, snow comes once or twice every month, regardless of which season is present. And thanks to this phenomenon, Keith found himself lying in the crystalline water, his hope snuffed out by the cold. Until he meets a girl who changes his life forever, but she also has a troubled past similar to his. Together, they navigate the complexities of human connection, trauma, loss, adolescence, and the complex nature of the human heart. Can these two wounded teenagers find happiness together? Or will the weight of the world keep them from moving forward? Only time will tell.

Arc One Complete. *** Everyone else capped at 20. Will Wick woke up with 30 Luck and an error message where his ceiling should be. That was the least strange part of his morning. The voice in his head—ancient, unimpressed, and absolutely certain Will is doing everything wrong—belongs to history's greatest conqueror. Genghis Khan has reviewed Will's memories, assessed his life choices, and has opinions. Loud ones. The main one being: the trillion-dollar corporation that harvested humanity's souls to power their own empire needs to be dismantled. Sector by sector. Server by server. Until the cage they built around this world belongs to someone else. Khan has done this before. Last time it was the Eurasian steppe. The principle, he insists, is exactly the same. Will already lost his family to the cold, corporate math of the old world. Now he's stranded 100,000 years in the future, on an Earth that healed itself while humanity was gone, facing billionaires who bought their way to power before the System even dropped. Genghis thinks this is fine. Genghis has a plan. Will is pretty sure the plan involves conquering everything. He's not wrong.

Time Magazine once gave this review of a man: "Mr. Yang is a great inventor. The products he created changed how hundreds of millions live, work, and travel." "At the same time, his inventions created millions of jobs and made outstanding contributions to regional economies." ... Never would he have imagined—Yang Wendong, already a successful entrepreneur, would accidentally travel back to the 1950s. Given a second chance, he would once again rise from nothing, climb to the peak of this era, and build a century-spanning Chinese family empire.

What does an internet troll do when the world turns into the most unplayable horror game in history? Astrad, a professional “rat kid,” finds out when the apocalypse cuts his internet connection and forces him out of his room. To his surprise, all those “wasted” hours on monster forums and wikis are now the only guide to not ending up as lunch for an abomination with way too many teeth. Forced out of his cave, Astrad isn’t looking to save humanity—only himself and his dog. However, fate and his own twisted pragmatism push him into leading a group of survivors as dysfunctional as he is. Armed with a pellet rifle, lethal sarcasm, and a journal full of monster weaknesses, he’ll have to navigate an apocalypse where the greatest threat doesn’t always come with claws and fangs—sometimes it hides in human stupidity. To survive, they won’t need a hero. They’ll need a bastard with a plan.

When Time-Stops turn awkward and Goth-girls sprout ears, chaos is inevitable. Blake thought he was the only powerhouse in this "ordinary" world. But these defeated maidens are back—deadlier, bolder, and hunting for his heart. In this superpowered rom-com, the underdogs are finally playing to win.

Animals that people once loved suddenly turned into magical beasts and turned the world upside down. With the mines destroyed and later occupied by magical beasts, humanity was starved of the resources needed to continue fighting them. Fortunately, beings from another world lent their power to humans in the form of avatars. Every human would awaken an avatar and use its power to grow stronger and fight against the beasts. Yet Auric found himself unable to awaken a single avatar. An avatar wasn’t supposed to leave the body of its partner, but his father’s avatar—the black dragon—mysteriously appeared before him, unraveling a series of secrets he had never known before. Did he really fail to awaken an avatar? What exactly was an avatar? Did they really come from another world?

Day after day, he endures humiliation and violence at the hands of his classmates, with no strength to fight back and no one to stand beside him. Until the day everything changes. After a brutal beating that pushes him to his limit, a mysterious system awakens within him: [Login Quest System Activated] Suddenly, his life is governed by daily “login quests”—tasks that range from simple challenges to life-threatening trials.

Vinnie was a thirty-four-year-old financial analyst in Hoboken whose life ended on a rain-slicked Turnpike, only to restart in 1999 at Saint Barnabas Medical Center.

His girlfriend of one week dumped him to go back to her rich ex. His classmates filmed it and laughed. He walked home broke, humiliated, and completely done with love.

[Cover Character: Elias Kane.] Elias Kane was supposed to be done. He had survived too many beautiful disasters, too many obsessive women, and too many games where love was just another name for ownership. 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. All he wanted now was a clean exit. Then he woke up in a near-future world built on female power, old money, public elegance, and private cruelty. Here, powerful women do not need to shout to be terrifying. They sign contracts. They buy silence. They smile for cameras, donate to hospitals, fund universities, and ruin lives with perfect manners. And Elias has landed directly in their line of sight. A cold CEO who mistakes possession for care. A woman who smiles softly even when she is about to ruin someone. A campus goddess wrapped in wealth, beauty, coldness, and quiet cruelty. A doctor who can open the mind and leave damage no one else can see. 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 her voice. This time, Elias is not walking into a messy romance plot he can outplay with patience and a better performance. He is walking straight into a inescapable cage built from contracts, surveillance, coercion, and desire sharp enough to cut. One wrong step, and he will lose more than his freedom. He will become something to keep, control, and ruin. Unfortunately for them, Elias has never been as helpless as he looks. He understands women like this. He understands hunger dressed up as tenderness, cruelty dressed up as protection, and obsession dressed up as love. All he wants is to survive, 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.

He likes his tea at the correct temperature, his socks properly paired, and his mornings arranged in a way that suggests the universe still has standards. When the rain starts melting streets, the dead begin walking, and something the size of an office block starts treating the city like a snack drawer, Arthur does what any sensible man would do. He complains about infrastructure. Unknown to Arthur, the world ended three years ago. Also unknown to Arthur, an ancient reality-warping entity has bonded itself to him and now lives inside his shadow. It can erase monsters, bend perception, fold space, and turn threats into neat little cubes before Arthur has time to notice anything impolite happening nearby. Unfortunately, its host has the survival instincts of a tax form and the emotional range of a man mildly inconvenienced by poor customer service. So while Arthur walks through the apocalypse looking for socks, groceries, functioning public transport, and someone to accept his complaint letters, the thing inside his shadow works itself half to death keeping him alive. It destroys horrors before he sees them. It edits reality when he notices too much. It silently curses every monster stupid enough to approach him. And Arthur, somehow, still thinks the city just needs better maintenance.
