Xavier knew it was the end, and before he lost consciousness, he blamed himself for failing to protect his family. Xavier stopped breathing. ‘He’s dead’, that’s what everyone thought. However, while they were transporting his body, Xavier suddenly woke up, killed Mr. Fugito’s men and escaped! After escaping, Xavier was reeled to find out that his appearance and physique changed after drinking the drug.

In his last life, the temperature plummeted to minus two hundred degrees Celsius, unleashing a merciless snowpocalypse. Civilization collapsed in a single night. Food became more precious than gold. A single spark of warmth was worth more than a human life. Zane had prepared with everything he had — scavenging ruins, fortifying a shelter, and hoarding supplies to outlast the endless winter. Yet in the end, he died like a fool. The woman he worshipped as a goddess, his own fiancée, betrayed him. The family that took him in only to steal his inheritance turned on him at the first sign of weakness. Even the neighbors he once helped without hesitation joined the frenzy, stripping him of everything and leaving him to freeze alone in the dark. As numbness claimed his body, regret burned hotter than any fire. If only he had listened to that soft, persistent warning voice. If only he had shown kindness to the one person who truly cared. If only he had severed ties with those parasites the moment he learned the truth… Perhaps moved by his dying fury, Hades granted him a second chance. Now, Zane is back — twenty days before the ice age begins. This time, he won’t be kind. He won’t be naive. He will hoard every resource, fortify his shelter into an unbreakable fortress, and turn survival into his empire. He will become the one the cold cannot kill. And when the world freezes again… He will watch his betrayers kneel and beg in the snow. PS: Grab your coat… the ice age is closer than you think. NB: This novel has multiple arcs, free chapters, dark fantasy and contains heavy sci-fi in the first arc. It's my first book on this genre, I hope you love it.

On the day their daughter died… Lyra chose to comfort another child. Brandon spent seven years loving a woman who slowly stopped loving him back. He endured the coldness, the humiliation, and the pain of watching another man and his son replace him and his daughter inside their own home. Still, he stayed. Because he believed that even if Lyra no longer loved him… she would always love Maggie. He was wrong. On Maggie’s sixth birthday, Lyra abandoned her sick daughter to celebrate another child instead. When Maggie collapsed in Brandon’s arms, Lyra still refused to believe the truth. “You used your own daughter to manipulate me!” she screamed in disgust. Meanwhile, Maggie’s tiny body trembled violently as her failing heart slowly gave up. “Lyra… please…” Brandon begged brokenly. “I’ll kneel if I have to. Just take us to the hospital…” But Lyra looked at her dying daughter with cold disappointment. “I’m ashamed of both of you.” Then she abandoned them on the side of the highway. As Brandon desperately carried his little girl toward the hospital, Maggie smiled weakly through her tears. “Daddy… don’t cry anymore. When I reach Heaven, I’ll ask God to send someone who will love you better than Mommy did.” Moments later, her tiny hand slipped away forever. That was the moment Brandon Hale died too. The gentle husband who forgave everything disappeared forever, replaced by a man driven only by grief, revenge, and the truth behind his wife’s betrayal. But when Lyra finally realizes the horrifying mistake she made… It’s already too late. “Brandon… I’m sorry…” she sobbed at his feet. “I never wanted Maggie to die…” Brandon stepped away from her trembling hands, his eyes empty and cold. “It’s too late.”

In 2152, Earth’s mega-cities enjoy fragile peace powered by advanced solar tech. That ends when a rogue comet swarm strikes the sun, triggering the "Eclipse Harvest". An ancient alien signal hidden in the sun’s core. It awakens massive harvest drones, shadowy machines from a forgotten invasion, which descend to harvest human minds and sustain their failing empire. The twist is merciless: the harvest creates "Echo Loops," reality fractures where death rewinds time. Survivors relive horrors repeatedly, "leveling up" only by solving deadly puzzles or winning impossible fights. Each reset mutates the body,granting enhanced strength, foresight, or reflexes— but erodes sanity. Death is not final; it’s transformation at a brutal cost. Cyrus Woods, a scarred ex-military scout, awakens in a loop after his convoy is destroyed. His rare "Anchor Gene" lets him remember resets clearly, making him a reluctant leader. From the start he builds a core team: - Carrie Thompson, brilliant engineer , drone hacker. - Riley Harlan, loyal mechanic and driver with skills - Mara Delgado, precise sniper and scout. - Tomas Murphy, young tech apprentice They soon meet Vaughn Keller, a lone scout with a pre-war dampener—until her devastating betrayal: she’s a deep-cover agent for warlord McLaren Hayes, feeding intel and setting traps that cost lives across loops before her double game is exposed. They also confront Celine Rivera, a scientist hiding hybrid origins and wavering loyalties. The story spans warped zones: phasing ruins, hidden bunkers, glowing wastelands, floating harvester ships. Factions rise—drone worshippers vs. rebels. Cyrus learns the sun is an alien farm construct. Loops reveal echo wars, betrayals (Vaughn’s, Celine’s, McLaren’s immortality pact), evolving creatures, memory storms, trapped armies. Hundreds of chapters deliver relentless action, cliffhangers, gruesome deaths followed by changed returns, and moral fractures. Twists include Cyrus as an alien rebel echo.
