Death... And Me

At 11:57 p.m., every adult in Meridian City receives a countdown. When it reaches zero, the implanted System will stop their heart. Completing assigned missions earns time. Failing them costs it. A privileged few seem to have centuries. Everyone else has hours. Elias Venn has spent years hauling injured people out of the city’s condemned districts. He knows how to save lives without asking whether the patient deserves it. Then someone empties his time account while he is carrying a stranger to safety. With barely three minutes left to live, Elias accepts a hunter contract and learns a terrifying rule: the System pays more for a confirmed kill than a living capture. His first target holds evidence that time can be stolen from registered citizens. Worse, the theft is tied to Mara, Elias’s younger sister, whose own countdown has begun to collapse. Each level Elias gains opens a new route through a city divided into lethal missions, restricted districts, hunter rankings, and hidden administrative permissions. But greater strength brings greater temptation: he can buy time for Mara only by risking his own life—or taking it from someone else. An ex-System auditor named Tessa Rook offers him access to the records everyone wants destroyed. She distrusts hunters, and Elias has every reason to distrust the institution she once served. Their uneasy partnership deepens as they uncover a chain of contracts leading toward the people who designed the countdown. When a new mission appears offering Elias the hours he desperately needs, its target is not a criminal. The name on the execution order is someone he swore he would protect. And the System has already started the timer.

For eighteen years, Ethan Morrison was his family's favorite punching bag. His parents called him a parasite. His brother stole his achievements. His fiancée treated him like a worthless beggar. When Ethan awakened a legendary Bloodline Core, his father didn't congratulate him. He ordered twenty lashes until Ethan's back was covered in blood. "You're nothing but a spare! Give your Core to Derek, or I'll beat you until you obey!" Ethan refused. His reward? A blood-soaked body, a basement prison, and betrayal from the woman he loved. His fiancée drugged him and helped steal his Bloodline Core for his brother. Then she abandoned him. But fate had a cruel joke waiting for her. Ethan married Serena Clarke, the beautiful Virgin Priestess—and became his ex-fiancée's UNCLE by marrying into her own family! Everyone mocked him as a worthless husband. Even Serena refused to let him touch her, believing he was too low-class to deserve her. "Know your place, Ethan. A man like you could never be worthy of me!" She had no idea the man she despised was secretly protecting her from every danger. Because the stolen Core had awakened something far more terrifying: the True Dragon! Now, the family that whipped him begs for mercy. His betrayers tremble before his power. And his cold wife? She still doesn't know that her life, her power, and her very destiny depend on the man she rejects. A Priestess may possess a legendary body, but without her Dragon Commander, even heaven will fall!

They thought the past was dead. They were wrong. When Dr. Adrian Cole discovers an extinct plant growing in the forest outside Evergreen City, he knows something impossible is happening. But the plant is only the beginning. Soon, creatures that vanished thousands of years ago begin returning, and a terrifying warning left behind by his father reveals that the danger will grow worse under the full moon. Nobody believes Adrian. Not the authorities, not the scientists, and certainly not the people who think his father's experiments were nothing but madness. With time running out, Adrian joins forces with four teenagers who share his passion for science. Their search for answers leads them to a restricted scientific archive, missing research pages, and a secret powerful enough to change everything they know about the past. Their only hope lies in an unfinished time machine and the truth behind his father's mysterious disappearance. But as the creatures grow more aggressive and Evergreen City edges toward destruction, Adrian discovers that the past has secrets no one was meant to uncover. To save humanity, he must finish what his father started before the world he knows becomes extinct.

On Monday, October 19, 2026, the System descends and eighty percent of humanity is lost within hours. Ethan Cole, a 24-year-old New York barista, is the one person who saw it coming. He died ten years into the apocalypse, impaled on the final frontline, and woke up two minutes before Day One with a decade of combat instinct and perfect knowledge of the future. He claims the First Blood chest and its Mythic passive skill before the tyrant of the Eastern Wastes can. But every move Ethan makes ripples outward. People he saved in his past life now die, and new threats appear that he never faced. His "perfect" knowledge starts to fail, and he realizes the System itself may have been watching him all along.

Three weeks after his death, Adrian awakens inside a digital simulation with only the memories of a life he knows was his own. He remembers his apartment, his job, his best friend and the night everything went dark. What he doesn’t remember is dying. He expects answers. Instead, he discovers the impossible. His biological body is dead, his funeral has already taken place, and the person standing before the scientists is not the original Adrian Vale. He is a digital reconstruction. Created by Veyron Continuum, Adrian was never meant to exist beyond the company’s experiment. He was supposed to hand over the research stored within his consciousness and then be reset. Now Adrian has only three hours before Veyron deletes him. He escapes into a restricted network and contacts Daniel Reed, his best friend, who struggles to accept that the voice on the other end of the connection belongs to Adrian. Then Veyron offers Daniel five million dollars to help them track him down. Daniel has no idea that the device they give him is more than just a tracking tool. It’s a trap. When Adrian fights his way through the trap, he gains control of a physical device connected to Veyron’s network. But his escape creates a new problem. Deep within Veyron’s facility, another consciousness awakens. Another Adrian, another set of memories and this one believes he is the original. Now Adrian must uncover the truth behind his death, expose the company that claims to own his mind, and prove that he is more than a copy before Veyron finds a way to erase him forever.

Read his story to see how he survives the system before his mind shatters at 60 Fractures!

Ethan finally has the power to destroy everyone who wronged him. The only question is what kind of man he'll be when he does.

When an arrogant elite doctor attempts to publicly humiliate Caelen and steal his rare patient case, Caelen’s dormant forensic system unlocks a hidden cheat: Death Reverse Diagnosis. By exposing the hidden causes of pending deaths and publicly face-slapping corrupt medical tyrants, he steals their remaining years for himself. To survive the countdown, Caelen must navigate deadly academy politics, outsmart lethal assassins, and unravel the dark mystery behind the world's expiration date—one stolen hour at a time.

​When the Mana Collapse comes, the surface world will burn. Everyone knows it—except the elites who siphon the realm's energy to fuel their lavish lifestyle, discarding the working class the moment their Mana Veins burn out. ​Han was one of those working-class casualties: a top-tier Logistics and Barrier Strategist betrayed by the High Hero and left for dead. But Han didn't die. Equipped with precise foresight and an intimate understanding of the realm’s architectural flaws, he purchases the dead obsidian mine nobody wants. ​Under the guise of a failing, debt-ridden mining venture, Han recruits the forgotten: blacklisted dwarven blacksmiths, overworked construction laborers, and discarded healers whose mana is deemed "insufficient." Deep below the surface, they aren't just digging for ore; they are constructing Sanctuary—a fully automated, geothermal-powered underground metropolis protected by God-tier mana barriers. ​When the Mana Collapse hits and mutated beasts devour the surface, the corrupt Hero flees underground, demanding absolute control over the last safe zone. He expects a cave full of peasants. Instead, he marches straight into a God-grade kill-zone built by the very people he threw away.
