I Became The Pope, Now What?

As the son-in-law of a middle-class family, Alexander Reynolds lived a life no different from that of a servant. His wife's family despised him and forbade his daughter from calling him "dad." They humiliated and demeaned him daily, with only his wife standing by his side, providing him with emotional support. When his daughter fell seriously ill, the Marshall family pressured him to divorce Eleanor Marshall, hurling insults and declaring him unworthy of his beautiful wife and precious daughter. Little did they know that Alexander was the heir to the powerful Reynolds family. If his mother hadn't taken him away years ago, he wouldn't have ended up in such an impoverished state. Alexander made up his mind. He would claim his inheritance. Once he accepted this power, no one would be able to stand in his way!

The world ended in a single night, and survival became a brutal game of instinct and luck. I was nobody before it happened, just another man trying to get by. Now, I have something no one else does—a system that rewards me for giving instead of taking. Every time I offer food, weapons, or shelter to a woman, I receive it back in insane multiples. But there’s a catch. The less she trusts me, the greater the reward. Fear, hatred, even betrayal… they make me stronger. At first, it feels like a miracle. I rise faster than anyone, building power while others struggle to stay alive. But the deeper I go, the clearer it becomes that this system isn’t random. It’s guiding me toward certain women—dangerous ones. Broken ones. Not entirely human ones. Some want to use me. Some want me dead. And some… are connected to the very thing that destroyed the world. Now I have to decide. Do I keep playing this game and become unstoppable? Or do I stop before I lose what little humanity I have left? Because the more I give… the more I feel like I’m being used too.

Zayden Voss died on a cold basement floor, betrayed by the people he trusted most, abandoned at the finish line of a war he had fought for three years. Then he woke up. Same apartment. Same city. One hundred days before the world burns. He knows which cities fall first. He knows which allies will smile at his face and put a knife in his back. He knows the names of the people who engineered the collapse and the exact morning it begins. This time, he is not surviving. This time, he is prepared. But the closer Day Zero comes, the clearer one truth becomes: the betrayal that killed him was never random. Someone built his death into their plan from the very beginning. They needed him gone. Now he is back. And he remembers everything.

I knelt in front of two hundred people and asked her to marry me. She left with another man before I even stood back up. ________________________________________________________ Richard Black had spent three years loving a woman who was never really his, and one humiliating night at a company gala to find that out.

The grave he grieved at for years wasn't his father's. And the men now hunting him have been waiting for him far longer than he's been alive. Was this his chance to finally matter, or the beginning of a war he was never prepared to survive?
