Love At First Sight

First, it was the Gates. Now, an ancient alien species is subtly invading, planning to turn humanity into livestock. This is the Second Calamity, a prophesied trial that must be overcome to face the true end of the world. Just as a new apocalypse begins, Orion awakens with a system. Ding! [You have awakened with the Evolution System!] Thrown into a parallel Earth plagued by monsters and Hunters, Orion receives his first task. [one must stay proactive!] [Your first task: Character Development!] The system reveals his first daily quest: a grueling workout regimen of push-ups, sit-ups, and running. The goal is to transform him from his "ugly, obese" state into something better, rewarding him with points in Charisma, Agility, Strength, and Endurance. [Is this torture!?] Orion shouts. Ding! [No, it's Character Development! ^-^]

The world is a machine built on a lie. Ethan is the bug that will break it. In the vertical city of The Hollows, your rank determines your right to breathe. While the elite live in eternal sunlight, Ethan Cole survives on the "scraps" of the lightless slums, a low-level clerk who just wants to stay invisible. Then the sky cracks. As the "System" initializes, the world turns into a lethal game. While everyone around him is granted the power of heroes and gods, Ethan is branded with a glitch: [Class: ERROR - CIVILIAN]. He’s supposed to be the first to die. But Ethan sees what the "Heroes" can't. He doesn't see monsters; he sees flickering code. He doesn't see magic; he sees unoptimized hitboxes. To the world, he is a nobody. To the System, he is a virus with Administrator access. Now, Ethan must climb the layers of the city he once feared, "deleting" the digital gods that treat humanity like fuel. He isn't here to play the game. He’s here to rewrite the rules. He’s not a hero. He’s the patch the world didn't see coming

In the ruthless world of Cloudbridge City, Jayden Smith's life was a ticking time bomb. Once the pampered son of a wealthy family, his world came crashing down when his father's reputation was shredded by false accusations. Stripped of their wealth, Jayden was forced to eke out a living as a lowly delivery boy, his existence a stark contrast to the opulent lifestyle he once knew. But Jayden's burdens were twofold. His girlfriend, the love of his life, had been secretly plotting against him, her affections bought by the son of the man who'd destroyed his family. The sting of betrayal cut deep, and on the day he discovered her treachery, Jayden's world imploded. Beaten and left for dead in a sordid alley, he was given a second chance when the Infinite Wealth System awakened within him. "[System Activation Complete!] Congratulations, Jayden Smith. You have been chosen as the Host of the Infinite Wealth System. Now let's fix your miserable life!" With this newfound power, Jayden's transformation began. The System propelled him into a world of high-stakes missions, where the line between success and disaster was razor-thin. But the rewards were life-changing: untold wealth, unparalleled power, and the tools to exact a calculated revenge on those who'd wronged him. As Jayden navigates this treacherous new world, he'll uncover hidden truths about his family's past, confront the masterminds behind his downfall, and ignite a firestorm of vengeance that will shake Cloudbridge City to its foundations. The question is: will he emerge as the master of his fate, or will the ruthless world of the elite consume him whole?

Silence. Like a nice bucket of shhhhhhhhh. Everyone shut the effing fudge UP! That's all I've ever wanted. *Sigh.* But silence comes in different flavors. There's mint - the peaceful kind that wraps around you like a blanket. The kind I chase at 2 AM. I've cried once. Just once. With a bucket beside me, watching heroes with super suits and impossible strength tear each other apart. Somehow that feels less broken than my reality. Then there's the suffocating silence at school. Not an ice cream flavor. This one tastes like metal and shame. High school is my personal hell. Empty wallet, empty lunch tray, empty seat beside me like I'm radioactive. Empty soul on Wednesdays because middles are always the worst. *The usual.* But Emily made the silence bearable. Mint-flavored again. Until she broke something between us. *Snap.* One moment she's whispering secrets with me, the next she's weaponizing them. She scattered my private thoughts, added her own twisted lies. The betrayal burns hotter than the stares drilling into my back. I went from invisible to spectacle. Being a ghost feels like luxury when you're dodging spit balls and "accidental" lunch trays. But somewhere between my third panic attack and contemplating switching schools... *Something shifted.* Like in those games you play, when your character suddenly glows and the screen flashes: "New Skill Unlocked" And it wasn't just in my head. I tested it. Small things at first – a pencil moving across my desk when I focused hard enough. Then books. Then someone's lunch tray right as they walked past Emily. *tap tap tap* I used to think rock bottom was the end. *Well ladies and gentlemen,* it's just a really messed up spawn point. And now? I don't stumble from cliffs anymore. I swim in gravity, and dive head first.

In his last life, the temperature plummeted to minus two hundred degrees Celsius, unleashing a merciless snowpocalypse. Civilization collapsed in a single night. Food became more precious than gold. A single spark of warmth was worth more than a human life. Zane had prepared with everything he had — scavenging ruins, fortifying a shelter, and hoarding supplies to outlast the endless winter. Yet in the end, he died like a fool. The woman he worshipped as a goddess, his own fiancée, betrayed him. The family that took him in only to steal his inheritance turned on him at the first sign of weakness. Even the neighbors he once helped without hesitation joined the frenzy, stripping him of everything and leaving him to freeze alone in the dark. As numbness claimed his body, regret burned hotter than any fire. If only he had listened to that soft, persistent warning voice. If only he had shown kindness to the one person who truly cared. If only he had severed ties with those parasites the moment he learned the truth… Perhaps moved by his dying fury, Hades granted him a second chance. Now, Zane is back — twenty days before the ice age begins. This time, he won’t be kind. He won’t be naive. He will hoard every resource, fortify his shelter into an unbreakable fortress, and turn survival into his empire. He will become the one the cold cannot kill. And when the world freezes again… He will watch his betrayers kneel and beg in the snow. PS: Grab your coat… the ice age is closer than you think. NB: This novel has multiple arcs, free chapters, dark fantasy and contains heavy sci-fi in the first arc. It's my first book on this genre, I hope you love it.
