Sometime After Midnight

"Welcome, everyone, to the live stream. Before we begin tonight's broadcast, I must warn you: only three kinds of people can see this stream. First, those heavily shrouded in dark energy. Second, those destined to die within the next seven days. As for the third... I dare not say. All I can offer is this piece of advice-beware of what's behind you!" (Update 3 chapter per day)

Seraphina Lane has always been a survivor. A final-year MIT student and a software genius, she spends her days buried in code and her nights hiding bruises under oversized hoodies. Trapped in a crumbling apartment with her abusive, alcoholic father, Sera's only dream is to escape—to build a future where she controls her own destiny, far away from the suffocating chains of her past. Damon Hale is a man who built his empire from nothing. A self-made billionaire and the undisputed king of the underground racing scene, he commands respect and fear in equal measure. With an empire built on speed, danger, and precision, Damon has everything—except the one software program that could revolutionize his fleet of custom-built race cars. When fate throws Sera and Damon into each other's worlds on a cold, electric night at an illegal race, sparks fly. Damon sees the genius behind Sera’s guarded exterior, while Sera glimpses the broken man hidden beneath Damon’s ruthless facade. But their partnership comes with a price—one that threatens to pull Sera deeper into the dangerous underworld she’s fought so hard to avoid. As shadows from their pasts close in and enemies emerge from the cracks, Damon and Sera are forced to rely on each other. Trust is fragile, love is dangerous, and survival is never guaranteed in a world built on speed and lies. In "Midnight Collision", two souls collide in a storm of secrets, ambition, and undeniable attraction. But in a world where loyalty is bought and betrayal comes at 200 miles per hour, will their connection be enough to keep them both alive? A story of survival, redemption, and the undeniable pull of two opposites who were never supposed to meet—but who might just save each other. Sometimes, the most dangerous collisions happen not on the road, but in the heart.

Authors side note: I may not release a chapter daily, doesn't mean I dropped the book. Good books take time, not to tune my own horn but it's true. I'll release a minimum of 4 times a week cause life makes me busy. Also, 36k words before locked chapters, might seem early but that's what can I say. Thank you for understanding. #darkcomedy #psychological #strategy #zombies #survival there would be one more tag here but it would be a spoiler :)

"I can't take it anymore! I just want to die. Why can't anyone understand that?" Almost clothless in the dark night, Camille yelled from the high rocky hill in tears. The clouds thundered while it wept bitterly and heavily. Her clothes were torn and badly revealing as a result of the angry rain. ' Jump. ' She heard a faint voice loud and clear. "What?" She murmured lowly in a tone only she could hear. ' Jump. ' The voice instructed her again. "I.. I'm scared to!" She sobbed. ' You want to die, don't you? You really want death so much. You're just one step away from the door of lifelessness. Just close your eyes and put one foot in front of the other. ' ' Baby steps, Camille. Baby steps! ' Her breath became unsteady a bit. She was beginning to contemplate on the idea. Is this really it? The way she was going to die! ' What are you waiting for Camille? Do it! ' She calmed herself drenched by the rain. She was beginning to accept death little by little. ' Just close your eyes and take the step. I promise you won't feel a thing.' What a simple instruction for a complicated action! ' On the count of three, Camille! ' ' We'll count together.' She nodded and counted in unison with the voice: "One...two..." "...three..."

--- **AFTER BOOK** *Karya Luciel Veronica* "Kata-kata adalah arwah, dan buku ini adalah pusara bagi yang tak bisa melarikan diri." Di balik jendela kaca yang retak, matahari senja terjerat debu, merayapi rak-rak buku yang berdiri seperti makam bisu. Perpustakaan itu, sunyi dan terlupakan, menyerupai rongga dada tua yang hanya berisi bisikan-bisikan waktu. Di lorong terkelamnya, tersembunyi sebuah buku—tak bernama, tak bernyawa, namun tetap berbisik. Alea tak pernah mencari buku itu. Ia bahkan tak seharusnya ada di sana—di tengah udara dingin yang menggigit kulit seperti gigi hantu, di bawah cahaya lampu yang berkedip seakan ketakutan. Tapi ketika tangannya menyentuh sampulnya yang dingin, seolah-olah buku itu bernafas di genggamannya, halaman-halamannya mulai bergerak. Namanya terukir di tinta hitam yang berdenyut seperti nadi: “Alea S., nafasnya berhenti di bawah cahaya yang pecah.” Teks itu menulis kematiannya—pelan, penuh kenikmatan, seolah mencari makan untuk kepuasan

(The title and synopsis are tentative and may end up changing later) - I'm gonna try to work on this more over the next few months/year.
