Once Bitten Twice Shy

Soren Whitaker gave everything to his wife's family. He worked for them. Protected them. Risked his life for them. When the apocalypse turned the world into a wasteland, he thought the Harringtons would finally see him as family. He was wrong. When their supplies ran low, they traded his life for the resources they needed. Soren died knowing the people he had sacrificed everything for had never valued him. Then he opened his eyes.

A mysterious spatial ability. With an endless storage space, Soren begins stockpiling everything he will need to survive the coming apocalypse. Food, medicine, equipment, and resources disappear into a space no one else can access. He knows when the apocalypse will begin. He knows what will happen. He knows who will betray him. Or at least, he thought he did. The future begins changing. Disasters arrive earlier than expected. Someone else appears to know what is coming. Strange messages reveal secrets about Soren's death, while something mysterious waits inside his spatial ability. And the Harringtons, who once traded his life for supplies, are coming for him again. This time, Soren won't be their sacrifice. He'll be the one deciding who survives.

For three years, Ethan Cole has endured life as the laughingstock of the Dawson family—scrubbing their floors, bearing their insults, and fading into the background of their lives as a mere nobody. What the Dawsons have no idea about is that Ethan is actually the exiled heir to the Cole Conglomerate, a trillion-dollar empire that commands fear across the globe. Once the youngest commander in a clandestine international unit, he vanished after a family feud that cost him everything. His punishment was clear: live as an ordinary man, reveal nothing, and interfere with nothing. Yet the world has not forgotten him. When six sleek black cars pull up in front of the Dawson home and elite operatives bow before him, Ethan receives the message he has long awaited: “Young Master, your exile ends today.” With his identity restored, Ethan begins the quiet process of reclaiming his power—but he’s not leaving just yet. The Dawsons, who have belittled him time and again, will discover the truth—slowly, painfully, and in a very public manner. As rivals, crime syndicates, and corporate foes emerge from the shadows, Ethan’s return sends shockwaves through the city. With each step he takes, he unearths a deeper conspiracy, a more insidious enemy, and a past he can no longer escape. The world believed the Hidden Dragon had perished. They were mistaken. Now, Ethan will rise again— not as an insignificant son-in-law, but as the formidable heir that the world fears. Power. Respect. Revenge. The throne he once forsook is waiting for him. And this time, no one will be able to stop him.

In my former life, I was a female healer, unaware of the true extent of my powers. My abilities caught the attention of an S-rank guild, and I was recruited with promises of prestige and respect. But instead of the honour I was promised, I was met with betrayal and cruelty. They saw me not as a person but as a tool to be used and discarded. I endured unspeakable suffering—raped,abused, exploited, and left to die when they no longer had use for me. But fate granted me a second chance. [Ding!] For enduring so much suffering until death, you have awakened the Pleasure system. You will be reincarnated into a new body. Would you desire any changes? I was reincarnated as a boy, this time gifted with the power to manipulate time and a pleasure system. As my abilities awakened, so too did the memories of my past life. The pain, the humiliation, and the injustice—it all came flooding back. This time, I vowed, and things would be different. I would not be a victim again. I would rise above the cruelty of my past and claim the power and respect I was denied. Yet, revenge is not my sole purpose. I will become the strongest, the richest, and the most influential figure in this world. I will amass power not just for vengeance but to ensure that no one can ever take advantage of me. As I ascend to the pinnacle of strength and wealth, I will claim what was once denied to me: control, respect, money, and the loyalty of those who once sought to destroy me.

Does the death of billions of people even have any meaning to it? It's like once the number passes a certain threshold we humans are unable to imagine the severity such a scale entails. The once prosperous Immortal Domain witnessed its destruction due to an unknown disaster. A disaster that wiped out 2/3 of its entire population in mere hours. Billions, no, even trillions of lives might have been lost. After the Immortal Domain's Destruction, it was split into the Fragmented Lower Realms and the High Heavens known as the Upper Realm. However, all was not lost. From the flickering embers of life that remained, and after countless years, an Era that would eventually be known as the Resurgence Era was starting to show its first signs of brilliance. These first sparks were located in a Fragmented Realm called the Wither Daemon Realm, in which there was a planet named Daiyu. On this planet, heavenly prodigies that were born with one of the thirty rare Legendary Physiques were starting to pop up like common weeds. Longwei, a loudmouth and arrogant brat was born into the Wu Clan while possessing the third-rank Legendary Physique, the Dao Physique. He was also known as one of the six monster-level geniuses on planet Daiyu. His brother Longmin, his opposite, a quiet and reserved boy, though was an equally terrifying genius in his own right, had faded into obscurity since his birth and was estranged by their father after a certain catastrophic incident. This story is the supposed legends of two dragons, who through a journey of bloodshed and betrayal, led their clan to unify the Immortal Domain and stand above Demons and Gods as powerful existences. This is the Immortal Journey of the Wu Clan's Twin Dragons.

Far beyond the clan's reach, exiled on the windswept east side of the hills, Pete the once trusted warrior who tried to overthrow Jason has spent years in silence. Cast out after his failed rebellion, Pete has lived with the pain of betrayal and the loss of his wife. He raises his son, Aaron, in shadows, feeding him stories of pride, injustice, and the crown that was stolen from their family. Now, Aaron is no longer a boy. He's a fierce young man forged by survival, hardened by loss, and driven by a single goal which is to reclaim the throne and avenge his bloodline. But Aaron is not the only challenger rising. Ukaria, a bold and brilliant member of the clan, has emerged from obscurity with something to prove. Denied, overlooked, and underestimated for too long, she believes leadership shouldn't be inherited rather it should be earned. As tensions flare and loyalties begin to shift, the once unified clan fractures. Friends become enemies and shadows rise. The battle lines are drawn and every hidden rival is stepping into the light. The question is no longer just who will sit on the throne, it is who will survive the fight to claim it
