Ten thousand lives—and counting. That’s the price of the secret Amelia holds. In the world after the zombie outbreak, the living have learned to fear more than just the walking dead. They aren’t the only killers. The Federation, a powerful regime that rose from the chaos of the zombie outbreak, hunts down anyone harboring this forbidden secret. They fear what they don’t understand—and destroy what they can’t control. When Amelia discovers she isn’t the only one hiding this terrifying secret ability, her world shatters. The man she loves carries the same curse, and now, he’s been sentenced to death. She vows to bring down the Federation, even if it means tearing apart the fragile remnants of society. The world after the outbreak is a battlefield, and in a war where survival isn’t guaranteed, Amelia will stop at nothing to crush the Federation before it crushes her and the others like her. But victory comes with a price, and the deeper Amelia dives into this twisted conspiracy, the more the lines between friend and foe blur. Will she bring about a new dawn—or plunge the world into even darker chaos?

Alex Reed is the trash of the Jenkins family. For three years, he’s washed their clothes, cooked their meals, and taken their insults just to please his girlfriend, Sarah.

In the ruthless cultivation world, spiritual roots decide a person’s worth. Born with a "Broken Void Root," Li Chen was destined to be the dirt beneath the boots of geniuses. Beaten, humiliated, and left to bleed out in the mud, his only remaining possession—a fractured jade pendant from his murdered mother shatters. But the jade was not a mere trinket; it was the prison of an ancient god, and Li Chen’s roots are not broken. They are the forbidden Primordial Chaos Root, a vessel so terrifyingly vast that the Heavens themselves cursed it to starvation. Inheriting the forbidden Heavenly Void Devouring Art, Li Chen awakens a terrifying power: he can devour anything. He eats the fiery Qi of his enemies, swallows the toxic miasma of deadly beasts, and consumes the spiritual veins of the earth. From the bloody mud of the Outer Sect to the shining thrones of the Nine Heavens, the boy who was called a piece of trash will become a demon the universe fears. He will uncover the bloody truth behind his clan's extermination, crush the arrogant geniuses of the Holy Lands, and if the Heavens refuse to give him justice… he will devour the Heavens themselves.

"Kill it! It's a defect! A stain like that has no right to exist in our city!" I looked at the small, pathetic puddle of black ink at my feet. The High Inquisitor’s laughter echoed through the hall, followed by the mocking sneers of the elite. My family’s last hope was crushed. My rank was zero. My future was a death sentence. But as the guard’s boot came down to crush my "beast," the world went cold. "Don't," I whispered. It was too late. The shadow didn't die. It opened its mouth. One gulp. That was all it took for a Rank-B knight to vanish into the darkness. In a world where Beast Tamers are kings and ranks are law, I was born a zero. They called my summon a "Formless Blob." They sentenced us to death before we could even breathe. Little did they know, my beast isn't from this world. It doesn't have a rank because the system can't measure the Abyss. It doesn't have a limit because it grows by eating everything they hold dear. Ranks? Social status? Respect? My shadow is hungry. And today, the elites are on the menu.

Alden Vance, a brutal cage fighter from Earth, found himself violently dragged into Eos-Vaelhart—an ancient, magical realm where humanity is despised as the lowest of races, bound in the shackles of slavery for the sin of being born without a mana core. Thrown into the lethal depths of the Abyssal Chasm to rot and be forgotten, Alden instead uncovered a terrifying anomaly: Earth-human biology reacts in an extreme, unnatural way to the raw Aetherium energy saturating the world. Instead of casting spells like the arrogant mages of Eos-Vaelhart, every single cell in Alden’s body ravenously devoured the raw Aetherium. The magical energy forced his physical form to undergo a brutal evolution, breaking past biological limitations without end. Without uttering a single incantation, Alden crawled back from the jaws of death wielding a raw, devastating physical might—sheer brute force capable of shattering reality and snapping the absolute laws of magic. Now, with fists ready to crush destiny itself, he swore to tear down the tyrannical hegemony of the Sovereign Concord, unite the broken remnants of oppressed humanity, and prove to the entire universe why humans are the true apex predators.
