Infirmière

"Kneel and apologize to my father, or we're getting divorced!" Valentina snapped. Marco smiled coldly. "Good. Let's divorce." Five years. Five years of working himself to the bone, handing over every paycheck, feeding his wife's entire family, and loving a woman who had already chosen another man. When the apocalypse arrived, Marco sacrificed everything to keep them alive. He reinforced their home, found food, and protected them from monsters. Their reward? They tied him up, watched him bleed to death, and let his cheating wife walk away with her lover. But fate gave him another chance. Marco awakens 15 days before the apocalypse, armed with the Doomsday Shelter System and memories of the future. This time, he won't waste his kindness on traitors. He'll build the strongest fortress. Recruit the most powerful survivors. Claim unimaginable wealth before the world collapses. And when his ex-wife and the family who called him a worthless dog come begging for shelter... "Marco... please. Just let us in." He looks down from the walls of his fortress and smiles. "Didn't you say I was worthless?" "Then die outside my gate." In the new world, mercy is a luxury. And the Apocalypse King has none

Suddenly appearing in a different world, it looks like I got caught up in a Hero Summoning. And of course, I’m not the Hero, but it’s another guy……and while being very cautious and scared of the cliche-like development, I was thrown into the maelstrom of war……or not. The Demon Lord? It was defeated a thousand years ago. Hero? He’s just the main actor in a festival. Nobles? They’re kindly taking care of us. The Demon Race? They have good relationships with Humans. Wars? It’s already 800 years since the last one. Monsters? The Guild and Order of Knight are taking care of them. Return to Earth? It is eventually No-Risk. What I’m planning after being caught up into this? I’m gonna enjoy the life in a different world as much as I want to, go on a cultural exchange and sightseeing, and after experiencing the festival that is only held once every ten years……I shall go home safely. The other world was――at Peace. A kind world where the three races, the Demon Realm’s Demons, the God Realm’s Gods, the Human Realm’s Humans, they are kind neighbors to each other, with everyone living a peaceful and fulfilling life. But although I wished to peacefully spend a year before my return, for some reason, the heavyweights of this world keeps gathering around me....

Caleb Hayes spent six years working three jobs just to keep his wife and son fed. He skipped meals. Wore torn shoes. Paid every debt. And when Natalie asked for a divorce, he signed away the house, the car, and everything he had left. Then, two days before the divorce became final, Caleb discovered an old USB drive containing a fortune worth **one billion dollars**. But the money wasn't the only truth waiting for him. His wife was cheating. The child he had raised for five years wasn't biologically his. And the man she planned to build a new life with was the same man who had secretly been in her life all along. "I gave you everything, Natalie." "You gave me nothing," she replied coldly. "You're broke, Caleb. What could you possibly give me?" Caleb almost laughed. She had no idea. The man she thought was a worthless husband had just become a billionaire. Now Caleb has one question: "What happens when the husband you betrayed no longer needs you?" This time, he won't beg for love. He'll make them regret throwing him away.

"You're nothing but a dog chasing after women who would rather spit on you than look at you." That was the last thing Maxver Cole heard before his five beast wives walked out the door, laughing, rushing into the arms of another man without a single glance back. They expected him to crawl. To beg. To break. Instead, he signed the divorce papers with a smile. Because the Maxver they married was dead. The man who woke up in his body came from another world, and he had zero interest in keeping women who treated him like garbage under their shoes. But freedom came with a price. A system counting down his final hours. A contamination level eating him alive from the inside. And a single brutal truth: without beast wives willing to purify him, he would be dead before the week was over. Then the Matching Center notification hit. Five new wives. All of them powerful. All of them stunning. All matched at one hundred percent compatibility, a number the staff had never seen in nineteen years. The women who threw him away stopped laughing real quick. "You divorced a monster," the world told his new wives. They walked through his door anyway.

Three years ago, Adrian Cross vanished rather than stand trial for a double murder on Ashford Street, a crime he swears he never committed. He has spent every year since running, until a four-word anonymous letter, He knows you're alive, pulls him back before dawn, straight into a second crime scene staged with details from Ashford Street that were never made public. Journalist Elena Marlowe catches the connection first and starts digging, aided by her forensic-science friend Maya Bennett, uncovering a pattern of buried, near-identical crimes stretching back years. Detective Marcus Hale, who built the original case against Adrian, finds his own certainty cracking, even as his chief demands the case close fast and stay closed. Adrian's brother Noah guards a secret bought at a terrible price, one tied to a name absent from every file: Elias Voss. Businessman Victor Raines, long suspected, may actually be the next target, not the mastermind. As Elena and Adrian's paths collide and betrayals surface among those meant to protect him, they must expose a killer always one move ahead, before the next body falls, and before dawn reveals a truth that could destroy them all.

Three strangers. One river. And a death that was supposed to be the end. After losing his job and his reason to live, Logan Hayes decides to end everything by jumping into the river locals call the river of death. But strangely... he survives, waking up in a body that no longer feels the same. He can move objects without touching them. The wounds on his body heal on their own. Even death itself fails to take him. And luckily... Logan isn’t the only one. There’s Reyn Walker, a man with deadly electrical powers capable of shutting down an entire city’s system with nothing but the touch of his fingers. And there’s Alexa Monroe, a mysterious girl who can hear hidden frequencies—heartbeats, lies, even the sound of bullets from miles away. When their abilities are discovered by a powerful mafia boss, they’re offered a job with an unbelievable payout: carrying out secret missions to expose corruption among the country’s elites and reclaim dirty money hidden behind power and influence. But the deeper they get into the game, the more they realize... they aren’t the only monsters born from that river. And now, someone lurking in the shadows has started hunting them down one by one. Will Logan, Reyn, and Alexa succeed in their mission—and make it out alive?

From Erwin Wickison I never asked to be here. One moment I was living my life, and the next I was dragged—along with millions of others—into a place ruled by a system that treats us like pieces on a board. Every Game is built to break something, whether it’s a body, a mind, or the small parts of myself I keep pretending are “good.” I’ve watched people die. I’ve watched people change. And I know I’m changing too. I just hope there’s something human left in me by the end… if there’s even an end. WARNING. This book contains smut, psychological decay, moral collapse, human intimacy twisted into survival, and a variety of horrors that do not wait for your permission before sinking into your mind. It will not hold your hand. It will not apologize. And it will not stop once you open it. If you continue, you’re choosing to step into a sequence of events designed to peel apart the comfortable assumptions you rely on to feel “safe.” Some of you will be fascinated. Some of you will be disturbed. Most of you will not remain the same. I’m not here to reassure you. I’m only here to tell you one thing: Whatever you think this is, whatever you think you know… you don’t. And once you begin, you can’t go back. — Welcome to the Games
