She died screaming. She woke up smiling. This time, she’s the nightmare. Betrayed by the ones she loved and fed to the undead like disposable trash, Elara died with her heart shattered and her blood still warm. But death isn’t the end—not for her. She opens her eyes in the past, in the days before the apocalypse tore the world apart. Now, she has the knowledge of what's coming... and a soul full of fire. She won’t beg. She won’t trust. And she definitely won’t love—except maybe the dangerous man who remembers losing her once and is willing to burn the world to keep her alive this time. In a world heading toward hell, Elara is no longer the victim. She’s the one holding the blade. And this time? She’s ready to carve out her destiny—one betrayal at a time. --- TAGS: #Rebirth #ZombieApocalypse #SlowBurnRomance #DarkFantasy #RevengePlot #SecondChance TRIGGER WARNING: Gore, Violence, Psychological Manipulation, Betrayal, Graphic Deaths

Fae hanya menginginkan kehidupan yang tenang. Namun, segalanya berubah ketika seorang pemuda berambut oranye tiba-tiba pindah ke sebelah rumahnya. Pertemuan pertama mereka jauh dari kata menyenangkan. Tanpa alasan yang jelas, pemuda itu menyemprot wajah Fae dengan air saat ia sedang menjemur pakaian, lalu tertawa dan berkata dengan santai: "Salam kenal, tetangga baru. Oh, ya, tadi aku lihat ada tanktop berwarna pink. Punyamu, ya?" Sungguh menyebalkan! Lagi pula, mengapa rambutnya bisa berwarna oranye? Oranye, lho! Memangnya dia idol? Hal yang lebih mengejutkannya lagi adalah: keesokan paginya, pemuda itu muncul di kelasnya dan memperkenalkan diri dengan senyuman lebar: "Hai. Perkenalkan, namaku Riel Orion. Panggil aku Riel, ya. Oh ya, aku bertetangga dengan Fae. Salam kenal." Siaaal! Sejak saat itu, Riel hadir dalam hidup Fae bak badai kecil yang cerah; penuh canda, rayuan tak masuk akal, dan senyuman yang sulit diabaikan. Ia terlalu ramah, terlalu menyenangkan, dan terlalu mudah untuk disukai. Namun, di balik segala kelucuannya itu, tersimpan sesuatu yang tak pernah benar-benar ia ungkapkan. Seiring waktu berlalu, Fae pun sadar. Ternyata, beberapa pertemuan hanya singgah sekali dalam hidup...dan tak pernah kembali.

But when strength meets circumstance, and rules start to bend, Shiro is dragged into a game he didn’t ask to play… and he’s about to play it on his own damn terms.

“I will drag you into an darkest abyss, as you have done to me for your betrayal. It’ll be like an eye for an eye and tooth for an tooth.” Atlas watches him kneeling on the ground with a dagger in his side, blood trickling from his wound. Atlas stands there, leaning against the wall with a nonchalant expression. Atlas stepped away from leaning against the golden statue, and he walked closer to him with a predatory grace, calm and effortless, and Atlas cradled his face with a possessive and clinging hold, and Atlas smiled gleefully, “Let’s make a deal. Belong to me and do everything I say, and I’ll release your brother.” Sebastian never saw this day coming, and he truly regretted saving him on that snowy day. This person isn’t the same youth from before, for vengeance and hatred only remain in his heart. The only thing he can do is appease the man. But this time, he will never give out his heart again. And he will never reveal the real truth behind his betrayal. What’s the point? Sebastian looked at the man before him and resisted the urge to move away from the hand on his face. His eyes remained stoic. In a hard voice, he said, “Fine. I will do what you want; in exchange, let my brother go.” *** Sebastian lives a normal life with his family, but he lives a hidden life. He has a dark secret that he protects at all costs; otherwise, he will be killed for being a monster. He and the rest of his family are vampires, living off blood, but his family, especially his father and mother, don’t feed on humans, for they cling onto morality, hoping not to descend into depravation. Sebastian cherishes his family, and they are both his strength and his weakness. They are the ones who maintain his humanity and keep him in check. But being a vampire comes with a deadly price; he must blend in with the human world, pretending to be a human is an effortless task: calculating and flirtatious is a mask he carries for centuries, playing with the lives of those around as if they’re just a game. His heart never lets anyone in, keeping distance from anyone except for his family, who live and protect each other. On that fateful night, he never thought he could have another emotional connection. A young, feral boy carrying a hunter's knife is surrounded by blood, snow, and dead wolves in the forest. Why does his youthful body carry a grotesque canvas of scars like they tell a gruesome past? Why do his eyes carry a heavy burden that’s too young for a human? Or is he a human in the first place? Soon, he would learn that Atlas carries heavy, dark secrets, where Sebastian had to look for an answer in Atlas’s past and must decide if he’s worth forgiving and protecting. ***

—-This is my first novel, I hope you like it.— In a world where the supernatural and humanity have long walked parallel paths, the shadows conceal truths that most humans remain blissfully unaware of. Yet, some individuals glimpse beyond the veil, recognizing that they are not alone in this realm. Vampires, with their insatiable thirst for blood, lurk in the night; werewolves endure the torment of transformation beneath the full moon, their bodies wracked with pain as they shift; and witches wield formidable magic, casting spells that can alter fate itself.

But everything changes with the emergence of Dawn, a Dhampir, whose enigmatic and sorrowful past is shrouded in forgotten memories. In the depths of the forest, a feral siren, once thought to be mere folklore, materializes, intertwining their fates.

She must confront a pivotal choice: will she defend her newfound family and the home she has just begun to cherish, or will she succumb to the desire for vengeance, seeking retribution for the agonies of her past life?

But enrolling in the elite academy that shapes Kael’s rise costs a fortune, and Beni’s stats are laughably weak. Armed with a glitchy system that threatens death for failure, he hustles through a world of monster hunts and noble snobbery, exploiting every plot hole and loophole to survive. *Can a broke, underpowered nobody outsmart a broken story—or will he become its next casualty?*

Her plan is flawless. Her poison is undetectable. Her strike is lethal. Yet, when the toxin fails to take effect, Ye Xian is forced to confront a chilling truth—Shen Liwei is immune to all poisons but one: the very first poison she ever created. To finish her mission, she must infiltrate his sect, uncover his secret, and strike when he least expects it. But as she gets closer, she discovers that Shen Liwei is not just a target—he is a man entangled in the same deadly web as she is. Behind his righteous reputation lie imperial experiments, hidden betrayals, and a conspiracy that reaches far beyond any one sect. As assassins close in, enemies shift, and the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, Ye Xian faces the one truth she cannot poison her way out of—the mission was never as simple as killing Shen Liwei.

A world ruled by strength, ambition, and shadows—where survival is the only law. In Jianghu, trust is a weakness, love is a liability, and the only certainty is that someone must die.
