I didn’t know a human life could have a price. Until I heard mine. The room was dark. Cold. Full of men who didn’t see me as a person only as something to own. Numbers were called out. Higher. Louder. Like they were fighting over art. Except the art was me. And then a voice cut through the noise. Calm. Deep. Final. “Sold.” I didn’t see his face clearly that night. Just shadows. Just power. Just the feeling that my life had just ended… or maybe begun. The man who bought me is not just a crime lord. He is the reason my father is dead. Now I live in his world a world of danger, secrets, and control. He watches me like I belong to him. He speaks like he already owns my future. And every time he comes close, I hate the way my heart betrays me. I want revenge. I want freedom. But in a place where shadows rule and trust is dangerous… what happens when the only man who can destroy you is the only one who makes you feel alive? Some prices are paid in money. Mine will be paid in blood.

News of the missing heir brought her back to the city she thought she had left for good. Anita 'Nita' Valken, the precious daughter of the Valken family, had managed to escape from their overbearing clutches under the disguise of building her empire in a different land. Nine years had passed with her life being filled with bliss and peace, with no watchful eyes scrutinizing her every move. However, this carefree life came to a screeching halt with just one phone call. News of a missing elder brother and the crushing pressure to find him at the earliest dragged Nita back to the very city she had fled in the past. Her existence had been forgotten in the years she had remained away. Though now, with her sudden return, the spotlight she despised was back on her once again. The shocking news that she would be filling in for her missing brother as the next heir only caused sparks to fly. If that wasn't all, her surprisingly odd interactions with the head of the Grimsa family, another hegemon in the city, had now made her the center of everyone's attention. __ Hugh Grimsa had never thought that the brat from the Valken family, who had run away from home the first chance she found, would appear before him ever again. Unfortunately for him, fate had other plans as he seemed to keep running into her at every turn, though their encounters were anything but amicable. Her unruly tongue and disdainful attitude knew just how to get on his last nerve each time they met. While everyone assumed that their rivalry was due to the bad blood between their families that had been passed down through generations, only those involved were aware of the real truth hidden beneath their facade. One a Vampire clan and the other a Werewolf tribe, both competing for the top spot in a city that knew nothing about the existence of creatures that were not human. So what would happen to this facade when the new heiress discovers that the trail to finding her missing brother keeps leading her closer to the Grimsa family? Will Nita be able to solve the mystery of her brother's disappearance, especially when rumors of a certain supposedly celibate man stealing glances at the new head of the Valken family business begin to fly throughout their city? Was this just a figment of everyone's imagination or did the heiress manage to bewitch the eternal bachelor? Follow Nita on her journey to finding her brother while steering clear of enemies hidden in the shadows, accompanied by an unlikely ally who seems to have ulterior motives for lending his aid.

"Reincarnating is a ruddy pain. Seriously. Especially when, after countless gloriously powerful (and occasionally catastrophic) existences, you end up stuck in the body of a hormonally unstable teenager, complete with wolf ears that insist on having a life of their own and a tail that makes finding decent trousers a proper nightmare. Oh, and as the cherry on top of my cosmic suffering, I've landed in Fiore, a place with an alarming lack of common sense and an abundance of loud mages. To make my already questionable luck even worse, I’ve ended up in Fairy Tail, a guild that apparently has 'chaos' and 'destruction of others' property' as its mottos. My only constant companion is Eos, my sarcastic and annoyingly omniscient AI. Oh, and apparently, I'm now a magnet for teenagers with muddled feelings and a tendency for over-the-top reactions whenever I interact with… well, with anyone who breathes. Between perilous missions (for them, I'm more concerned about the quality of the tea), dramas that would make a demon lord weep, and the constant threat of developing any sort of feeling (the horror!), I try to survive yet another incarnation. At least it isn't boring. Most of the time." ----------------------(*) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hello, this is the first time I'm posting a fanfic. I've written several fanfics before, but I've never had the courage to post them, not least because I only write in my free time and have never had to worry about deadlines for posting. Right then, a heads-up: this novel won't be a harem. The protagonist will have several love interests pursuing her, but only one (or perhaps two) will actually win her heart. Another note: English isn't my first language. To be honest, I'm still taking English classes and decided to give myself this challenge. I wrote the fanfic in my native language first and then attempted to translate it with my current English skills. So, if there are any mistakes or awkwardly phrased sentences, I'd appreciate it if you could point them out in the comments, explaining them, so I can try my best to correct them.

In the autumn of the 28th year of the apocalypse, Gu Xi and her companions finally eliminated the last Zombie Emperor in the world. 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. When she woke up again, it was already the 58th year of the apocalypse. 30 years had passed, and the beautiful world that Gu Xi had once yearned for and for which she had fought tooth and nail did not appear. 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. Later, she discovered that her former companions had all become powerful figures, while she, the former apocalyptic hero, had become a person who was never recorded in history. Gu Xiaoxi: ?

After struggling to survive for three years in the apocalypse, Chu Jiangyue is betrayed and killed by her best friend. When she opens her eyes again, she finds herself reborn—one day before the apocalypse begins. Her original plan is to stockpile supplies and lie low. However, fate has other ideas. Instead of hoarding goods, she’s bound to a hotel system. She's running a hotel at the end of the world. Her former best friend—the one who killed her—wants to freeload? Chu Jiangyue thought, "Sorry, please top up before shopping." A bizarre guest wants Chu Jiangyue to marry her son and take over the hotel? Chu Jiangyue thought, "If you don’t want to stay, you can say so directly. There's no need to beat around the bush." When meeting a clueless student looking for a free ride while trying to be kind on the road, Chu Jiangyue thought, "Little girl, I run a hotel, not a charity." … Zombies everywhere—no place is truly safe? Chu Jiangyue said, "Hotel rooms have zombie-shielding protection; guests can check in and stay secure." Extreme heat waves are causing constant heatstroke; stepping outside means instant sunburn? Chu Jiangyue said, "Want to try temperature-control suits and ice-cold drinks?" Extreme cold plunges to minus 100°C, freezing even zombies solid? Chu Jiangyue said, "You could enjoy cold-resistant thermal gear in our hotel!" … Someone covets the hotel and wants to seize it by force? Chu Jiangyue said, "Dear guest, you have received a hotel eviction package. Please sign for it." When people witness someone vanish into thin air, those harboring ulterior motives quietly abandon their plans. Chu Jiangyue declares, "If you want to stay here or buy supplies, no matter if you're dragon or tiger, you'll have to behave yourself on my turf!"
