[From the Author of Author's POV...] Emotions are like a drug to us. The more we experience them, the more we become addicted. The hardest part is not letting them consume us. But it's already too late for me. I've already been swallowed whole. *** I had no knowledge of the game. I was meant to have died. And yet, I found myself in this situation. A game I had never played before. A character I was unfamiliar with, and... A world that seemed to want to swallow me whole with every move I made. What the hell is going on? ...and who am I? *** Discord : https://discord.gg/PEbN7fc2ww

Liora was a pampered royal princess, with loving parents at the forefront and eleven royal brothers at her back. Always adorned with the finest silk and served with exquisite dishes while lounging in her palace. Her biggest concerns? Which dress to wear for a banquet and how many more hours she could nap before her royal duties caught up to her. But fate (or some seriously bad karma) had other plans. One moment, she was sipping fine wine and but the next moment-boom!—she wakes up in a world where people are eating each other, the sky is covered with ominous veils that look like it wants to swallow the world, and worse, her royal status means absolutely nothing. What she can tell more about her poor condition is that she has no servants, no food, and no idea how to fight off the disgusting zombies, who are trying to take a bite out of her. Just when she’s ready to scream at the heavens for an explanation, a cold mechanical voice rings in her head: [Welcome, Host. You have activated the Overlord System.] Overlord? That sounds powerful, right? Wrong. Turns out, she starts at the bottom of the food chain with no powers, no weapons, and zombies that see her as their next snack. While others awaken abilities like fire manipulation or super strength, she gets... a system that gives missions with questionable rewards and always tries to drown her in a huge debt. Fight a Level 2 Zombie with her bare hands? Sure, why not? Survive hordes of zombies while the system nags her? Classic. But as she battles to level up and gathers allies (some willing, some just too scared to say no). She realizes—maybe she isn’t as weak as she thought. Because when the world falls into chaos, only the strongest can rule. And if the system insists on calling her an Overlord, well… she might as well live up to the name. Power, danger, and a system that may or may not be trying to get her killed—welcome to the apocalypse.

He vowed to treat her like a princess—as long as she didn’t leave him. --- Inside the Cooper Mansion... Ryder knelt on one knee, holding Silver’s hands. "Silver, please… don’t leave me. I’ll do anything," he said, his voice desperate. Silver raised an eyebrow. "Anything?" Ryder nodded quickly. "Yes! I’ll give you whatever you want. Just stay with me." Silver leaned closer. "And what about Cici?" Ryder stiffened for a second, then quickly said, "I sent her to Africa. She’s gone. Now, it’s just you and me." Silver laughed. "Wow. You sent your precious mistress away just like that?" Ryder grabbed her waist. "Because you’re more important." Silver smirked. "Oh, really? Then double the $200 billion, and I’ll think about it." Ryder swallowed hard. "Fine. Anything. Just don’t leave." Silver crossed her arms, watching him suffer. "Beg a little more," she teased, enjoying his downfall.

A world without gods struggles against cunning and dangerous monsters from another realm, teetering on the brink of collapse—until… Silvanus never expected to die at the peak of his glory. He was on stage one second, accepting his third consecutive Best Actor award. The next, he was dead—crushed by a falling glass stage light in a tragically ungraceful demise. But the worst part was yet to come. He didn't indeed die. Instead, he woke up in an entirely different world, one on the verge of being swallowed by darkness due to an overwhelming invasion of monstrous creatures. [Beep—Acting System activated! Greetings, my god. Please create your character and start collecting Acting Points!] Thus, humanity discovered that they now had gods, divine protectors who guided them in their battles against monsters… A god who feared everything yet could foresee the future. A narcissistic deity who commanded water and life itself. A depraved being who, despite his corruption, remained undefeated against even the strongest creatures. No one knew they were all the same person. "Worship me. Believe in me without end. And one day, I shall truly descend upon this world…"

Humanity's end came without warning when a crimson fog swallowed the sky. Zhao, an ordinary man, watched in horror as a celestial voice declared their fate: their Planet had reached its limit, and its people would now atone for their sins. An otherworldly force crushed resistance, and in an instant, every human was teleported to the Central Land, a vast and hostile realm. The voice from the heavens promised trials that would shatter their wills, but also power beyond imagination for the fortunate. Only those blessed by luck would awaken unique Lord Talents, granting them the means to survive and dominate: In a world where strength lies supreme Zhao will do whatever it takes to get stronger. Zhao awoke in an isolated area near a forest. As despair set in, a voice echoed in his mind: Ding… Million Times Multiplier System has been activated. Just as the rest of the players had known of the world Zhou's subjects were clearing out every resource. When others were building their base he had built a kingdom. And by the time they knew of his threat, HE HAD ALRDY BECOME GOD!

On July 27, 2032, the world ended-not in fire, nor in war, but in silence. A rift tore open above Earth, swallowing the sky itself. In the blink of an eye, everything humanity knew-its past, its future, its place in the universe-was rewritten. The Shift shattered continents, erased millions, and hurled Earth into an uncharted galaxy. Now, years later, the dust has settled, but the wounds remain. Nations struggle to rebuild, tensions simmer beneath fragile alliances, and whispers of something far greater-far darker-stir beyond the stars. Amidst it all, one man searches for purpose in a world that no longer makes sense. What he finds will shake the foundations of everything humanity believes. Because The Shift was never an accident. It was a message. And someone-something-is coming. credit for cover: [Pinterest:https://pin.it/5wa8sAySO]

The Earth had been swallowed. Absorbed by the new world, an infinite ocean dotted with continents stretching as far as the eye could see. Humanity found itself thrust into this place, left to fend for itself in hostile lands teeming with creatures and civilizations from multiple origins, ripped from their own realities.

Enslaved by beings even more terrifying than myself, I’m condemned to watch the world descend into carnage, to dig through past ages for stories worth telling. Really, what a mess.

My heart was hammering in my ears and his compelling eyes riveted me to the spot. However, noticing his deep wound, I mumbled in a breathy and concerned tone, “Your injury looks deadly. You need immediate treatment.” A deep chuckle greeted me as he pulled me closer to him, wrapping his strong arms around my waist. ‘Death is not a worry of mine Even if I must swallow poison I must have you…’
