Tropes: - Rëvërsë Häräm - R18 - LGBT+ - Badass Morally-Grey MC - BD$M - System - Revenge - Rebirth - Rich Family Members - Hot Ex-in-laws - Those Green Tea and White Lotus Bitchës - Crazy Best Friend - Gangs/Organised Crime - Superpowered - Forced Proximity - Face-Slapping In her first life, Daria idolised her boyfriend, Rain, and ignored the flying red flags flashed in her face, the dubious friendship between her best friend Molly and Rain shoved to the back of her mind because she wasn't going home and couldn't afford to leave. At least, that is what she likes to tell herself. Until she returned from work early, a string of strange news alerts of people attacking each other worldwide forced her sweet boss to send everyone home for the day. Fighting the crowds of others running home, narrowly avoiding what she knew was a Zombie only to find out that Molly had accidentally fallen on top of Rain, repeatedly for months in her bed. Had they so quickly forgotten that this bed was brought with her clean money in her house? Apparently not, and in Daria's grief, she had awoken the power to control lightning and found herself seconds away from "accidentally" killing her snake of a partner. The other end of the snake had snuck up behind her and knocked her out. Now they had her house, locking her in the safe room and removing all the food, water, and exit buttons. When they tried to sell her to a research lab, she managed to blow up her safe room and force the door to open. But when she ran the several long streets towards her mom's hotel, she was turned away at the door by her stepdad, and he watched her get dragged away kicking and screaming, never to be seen again. She survived another year in the research institute, closer to looking like a mental asylum, being injected and subjected to strange tests before it was overrun, and they were left to die. In her second life, she won't be so short-sighted, and her boyfriend, best friend, stepdad and the entire institute will die and become a part of her system horde and her twisted relationship with a fellow patient from her first life will set them on the path of revenge and victory.

The Last Marine

WHEN THE WORLD ENDED, HE WAS ALREADY DEAD. Marine Sergeant Quinn Carter wakes up on a highway littered with the wreckage of a military convoy—burned-out husks of vehicles, torn bodies, and a silence so heavy it chokes him. The last thing he remembers is kissing his wife, Anna, goodbye before deployment. Now, the world is a graveyard, and the air reeks of blood and rot. But he’s not alone. The things that move in the ruins aren’t the shambling dead of old horror stories. They’re fast. Smart. They mimic human voices to lure survivors out. When Quinn hears a child’s desperate cry for help, he almost falls for it—until he sees their milky-white eyes and the way they move like a pack. THE FIRST BITE ISN’T THE END. IT’S JUST THE BEGINNING. Fighting his way through the wreckage, Quinn finds a lone survivor—Sarah Monroe, a fellow Marine with a tire iron and a haunted past. She tells him the truth: the world didn’t end with bombs or a virus. It ended with Systemic Immune Failure (SIF)—a plague that didn’t just kill people. It turned them into something worse. Now, the infected hunt in packs, using eerie mimicry to draw out the last survivors. And they’re getting smarter. ESCAPE ISN’T AN OPTION. IT’S A LIE. Trapped in a decaying city with the horde closing in, Quinn and Sarah must navigate a landscape of betrayal and desperation. The military remnants—led by a shadowy figure named Vance—aren’t here to save anyone. They’re rounding up survivors for reasons Quinn can’t fathom. And every step towards home—towards Anna—brings him closer to a truth more horrifying than the infected. BECAUSE THE REAL MONSTERS AREN’T THE ONES WITH THE MILKY EYES. With time running out and the horde learning from every attack, Quinn must decide: Does he fight for a world already lost? Or does he run—straight into the heart of the nightmare—to find the woman he loves? A PULSE-POUNDING, UNFLINCHING THRILLER THAT REINVENTS THE APOCALYPSE—WHERE THE REAL TERROR ISN’T THE INFECTED… IT’S WHAT THEY LEAVE BEHIND. PERFECT FOR FANS OF THE LAST OF US, BIRD BOX, AND THE ROAD. WILL YOU SURVIVE THE FIRST NIGHT?
