A Beta Before An Alpha

“ Let me introduce; This is Benedict Edward, my boyfriend and baby...” she introduced the guy before pointing at Griffin “ and this is Griffin Wright, well... I don’t know how to introduce him to you because he was always a fool and a nobody.” She explained and laughed shyly while the guy nodded his head. “ What?” Griffin exclaimed. He couldn’t believe his ears! Benedict Edward cleared his throat and sized Griffin up, secretly mocking his cheap clothes “ Oh! This is that loser guy you always tell me about, right?” He asked and Charlotte nodded. He also nodded with a smile before taking a step forward and he stretched his hands forward as if he wanted to shake hands with Griffin but he immediately withdrew the hand and cleaned it with his napkin ~ “ I can’t afford to dirty my hand by touching you, sorry. “ He said sarcastically and turned to face Charlotte. “ When did all these start? We’ve been together for 6 years and all we showed each other was love. Why this?” Griffin questioned with his eyes red and sad.

May 14, 1945. Work carried out by the Third Reich was brought to light and made it possible to reveal a secret buried for too long: humanity was not alone on Earth. From this discovery were born protest movements against races that had just come out of the shadows. Fifteen years after the capitulation of Germany and its allies, the outbreak of World War III once again plunged the whole world into chaos. Twenty years later, the period that survivors renamed Dark Silence ended hostilities. In 1983, an agreement was established between human governments and nonhuman rulers. All beings endowed with intelligence created Cicerone, in order to maintain and guarantee interspecific peace. The future was assured, and in everyone was born the desire to move forward, forgetting the grudges of the past. Unfortunately, the bitterness never completely dies, and within the nascent rebellions reappears a prophecy, which can overthrow the powerful of this world. One of them wants more than anything to get his hands on this legend, before others seize it before him. He is capable of all madness to avoid his fall, even if it means pushing his prey to its last entrenchments, until it loses a part of her... and steals a piece of her soul.

His parents were killed before his eyes when he was only 12 years old, thus making him grow up in an orphanage. Darren returns to his city and works as a cleaner at a company. However, who would have thought that the owner of the company asked him to marry his daughter, and it turned out to cover up the shame of the princess, who was pregnant without a husband? During his time as son-in-law in the Martano family, Darren continued to work at the company and was also obliged to do housework. Darren is seen as nothing more than a helper. He always gets insults, even though he is considered a parasite. Until that day, Darren remembered that before his father died, he had given him a document. And his father asked Darren to open the document when he was 23 years old. It turned out to be several letters of land ownership and also deposits in a bank with a value of trillions. With the assets left by his father, Darren finally succeeded in establishing a large company and becoming a respected businessman. Until Darren managed to get all his revenge on the people who hurt him, No one even dared to find trouble with him!

Death should have been the end. Instead, Alexander wakes in a dead man's body during an apocalypse, bound to a system that demands an unthinkable price for survival. In a world consumed by symbiotic plague and hunted by a shadowy organization, he must level up fast, lead a team of rare Female Awakeners, and race to stop a cosmic entity from erasing humanity—before his own nature consumes him.

Daniel only wanted an ordinary day. Classes, a bit of hanging out, then home before the rain grew heavier. But that humid afternoon became the beginning of the apocalypse. Humans began attacking humans, and the transformation happened right before his eyes. “Monsters don’t need a screen to be real.” Daniel said quietly. “And now they’re here. Everything Xavier talked about has come true.” This was not an ordinary outbreak. The colder the air, the faster they evolved. An air conditioner left running could become a death sentence. Rain was no longer a relief, but a trigger for slaughter. Trapped on the upper floors of the campus building, Daniel survives with Chania, Bianca, Xavier, and Kimberly. Five people with different fears, ways of thinking, and moral limits. Outside, the monsters grow faster. Inside, human decisions become even more dangerous. Chania said, “He almost bit us.” Daniel replied, “Not almost. He stopped being human a while ago.” This is not a story about heroes trying to save the world. This is a story about survival as the temperature continues to drop. And about one rule that cannot be negotiated. In Degrees of Death, the ones who die first are not the weak, but the hesitant.

After the death of Alpha Rey Reed Smith, he opened his eyes, only to find himself in another realm; the realm of the ancient gods.

But with the multiple trouble from Sebastian Stan, the dark Alpha of the middle land, and Dylan Knoll, a distant cousin of Xavier Knoll who is back to avenge his brother’s death and unleash the wrath of Xavier on the people, Rey might find himself biting more than he can chew.

Long before life existed, the world was filled with something that was "not alive" but also "not dead". Something too real to be called a dream, but too vague to be called reality. This is an ancient legend whose lifespan is far beyond every legend. A dark fantasy drama set in the middle of nowhere, where the concept of “life” has yet to be discovered. A story about an "angel" who seeks meaning behind his existence, in a meaningless world.

His entire family was wiped out nine years ago in a bloody massacre before his eyes, he got stabbed multiple time and left for death.

"Everyone who shed your blood," he swore, "shall die." No mercy.
