Is This Really A Game?!

years after the world was nearly destroyed by the Last Plague, humanity clings to survival under the fragile illusion of order. The “Cure” has stopped the infection but not the guilt, madness, or memories left behind. Dr. Nella Rider, a court-appointed psychiatrist, is assigned to the most infamous trial in human history: the Plague Tribunal. Her task is to determine whether Dr. Adrian Pazzo, the brilliant scientist accused of unleashing the virus, is mentally competent to stand trial and whether his remorse is genuine. Inside the frozen halls of the world’s most secure prison, Nella meets Pazzo for the first time, a gaunt, hollow-eyed man who radiates both intellect and menace. His words are measured, his humor unsettling, and his sanity fragile. Yet as Nella digs deeper, she begins to suspect that the truth behind the Plague and the mysterious “Last Cure” that saved humanity is far more complicated than the world wants to hear

Once, he believed Forex trading would save his family. Instead, it destroyed him. Plagued by constant losses and sleepless nights, he watched his savings vanish trade after trade, until the final blow came in the form of a phone call that shattered his world.

In the first apocalypse timeline, he trusted the wrong people, gave away what little he had, and was betrayed when food became more valuable than human life. Death came quietly—without heroism, without meaning. Then time rewound. Kyle wakes minutes before the world collapses, reborn with all his memories intact—and a system no one else possesses: the Infinite Supplies System. Food. Water. Weapons. A private Paradise Space untouched by ruin. But abundance comes with a rule carved in cold logic: nothing is free. Supplies can only be unlocked through Emotional Function Points. As cities fall and boys’ survivor zones are wiped out, a sealed girls’ campus becomes an island of desperation. Kyle alone can move freely through the apocalypse. He doesn’t force obedience. He waits. Hunger does the work. Cleaning earns meals. Labor earns water. Emotion—fear, shame, gratitude, desire—determines how much. Six girls stand at the center of this fragile balance: a campus beauty hiding terror behind smiles, an ice-cold strategist who refuses to beg, a fallen heiress desperate to reclaim control, an arrogant provocateur who thrives on chaos, a kind healer who sacrifices herself too easily, and a hardened survivor who refuses to be owned. Between them, alliances form and fracture. Submission becomes strategy. Strategy becomes betrayal. Kyle’s relationships with them are never simple. He is their provider, their ruler, their shield—and, increasingly, their moral problem. As the system rewards cruelty more efficiently than kindness, Kyle begins to realize a terrifying truth: the system doesn’t care about survival. It cares about consumption. When outside survivor factions finally make contact and the system escalates beyond Kyle’s control, he is forced to choose—declare himself sovereign over a starving world, or challenge the very system that keeps everyone alive. And the system is already watching how he decides.

The Formidable System: Alex Cole secret heir. SYNOPSIS Ethan Cole, once a nobody ridiculed by his fiancée Lily, discovers through a mysterious System that he is in fact the secret heir of Alexander Cole, CEO of the global tech empire Cole Consortium. Humiliated publicly at a banquet and abandoned by those he thought loved him, Ethan becomes determined to rise above his broken past. The System begins training him in discipline, self-worth, and confidence, first through physical conditioning with Grayson, an old-school boxing coach, and later in the penthouse gym under Jonathan’s guidance. This training doesn’t turn Ethan into a soldier but prepares him mentally and physically to stand tall as the man destined to inherit an empire. Meanwhile, shadows move in the background. Ethan is stalked by men loyal to Wilson Flake, CEO of rival tech giant Orbitway and longtime enemy of Alexander Cole.

Deals once meant for Orbitway are redirected to Cole Consortium, with whispers that Ethan’s involvement is the reason.

During a lavish dinner party organized by Daniel under Wilson’s orders, Ethan attends — warned by Jonathan to be careful. There, he runs into Lisa Roman, his ex-girlfriend from school who is now a successful fashion CEO. Old flames reignite, much to Lily’s shock. Lily mocks Ethan at first, only to be devastated when she discovers he is Alexander Cole’s heir.
