The Clockmaker's paradox

When the sky split open, the dead came pouring in. Reality shattered. Ghost gates erupted across the globe, flooding the world with malevolent spirits immune to bullets, bombs, and human logic. As cities burned and souls vanished into the void, only one thing stood between annihilation and survival—the Hunters, cursed individuals gifted with strange powers tied to the invading force itself. Adam is not a Hunter. He’s a street rat, a nobody…until a cursed bite from a stolen prototype infects him with a living system that refuses to let go of his very soul. Now, voices haunt him. Quests appear in blood-red text. And something inside him is trying to take control. As the world crumbles and Nexora Corp hunts him down, Adam must fight back against the monsters outside—and the one growing within. Because this system isn’t just cursed. It’s alive. And it wants out.

Tessy Brown, an only daughter of her parents, was treated badly in her marriage, but forced to endure all the ill treatment for the sake of her father's business. Three years down the line, her husband presented her with a pre birthday gift — his ex girlfriend, who he introduced as his new wife. Heartbroken and shattered, Tessy accepts divorce and gives in to her drunken desire, having sex with a complete stranger she met at her workplace. That single encounter changed her life forever, opening her to a world she never knew existed, and a life she never would have believed she lived in the past. *** Cursed to abhor the touch of a woman after the death of his mate, Roman Gavriel, the Lycan ruler of the entire werewolf communities and a revered billionaire in the human communities, lived a long life of ruthlessness and loneliness. Already resigned to his fate, he decided to test different ways to end his miserable life. When one of his experiments successfully knocked him unconscious, he landed in the hospital where he felt the touch of life that aroused all of the feelings he thought he had killed and buried. At that moment, he knew he was never letting her go, not for anything or anyone in the world.

In 2019, a cataclysmic event shatters the fabric of reality, unleashing a new world where the forces of desire shape the very essence of existence. As the heavens themselves crumble, a chaotic new fantasy realm emerges, where the boundaries between good and evil blur, and power is the only law. The old world is dying, and the Eternal Era begins—an age where survival is a battle, and only the strongest can thrive. Amidst the destruction, a desperate quest for salvation unfolds. Every soul, driven by hope and ambition, journeys through the ruins of their past to find a new future. In this perilous new world, what remains of humanity must confront their darkest desires and face the unknown to rebuild—or perish in the attempt. How will Yi Tianxing navigate this dawning era of bloodshed and chaos? [I just translate the story, real author is Drifting Alone]
