[Pre-Author's Note: MC develops as time passes, it starts out slow but surely] "The Apocalypse isn't just fit for anyone... Without Strength, you're just a tool waiting to be exploited, So hurry the fuck up and get some strength already," The world ended in an instant. One moment, Simon, a 20-year-old game designer, was sitting at his desk, immersed in code. The next, the sky cracked open and monsters poured into the streets. Werewolves with claws sharp enough to slice through steel. Undead skeletons that marched with deadly purpose and Zombies that infected humans with the power of their bite. The gods had unleashed an apocalypse, and humanity was no longer at the top of the food chain. Simon ran, he survived... and then he was granted a power. |Congratulations You have been binded to the Vampire Overlord System| He was something else. A vampire overlord. Yet the Apocalpyse had only just begun...

His ascension as Crown Prince reshapes the empire, bringing prosperity but leaving fear and uncertainty in his wake. As whispers of rebellion and familial betrayal grow, Simone becomes both savior and shadow, his true motives veiled behind an emotionless facade. Is he the empire’s salvation, or its inevitable downfall? In the void of his humanity, only the darkness knows.

EXCERPT "Do you know what I love about you, Stella?" he whispered, his voice low and dangerous as his eyes darkened with desire. Before she could respond, Simon leaned closer, his breath warm against her neck. Slowly, his fangs emerged, glinting in the dim light. His fingers traced a path along her skin, slipping beneath the fabric of her shirt, sending a shiver through her. "Those pure, innocent doe eyes of yours," he murmured, his voice almost tender, "the way they plead with me, like you think you can stop me." Panic flared in her chest, and she pressed against his firm body, trying to push him away. "Sir, please... I am married. This is wrong—it’s a sin to go after a married woman." His response was a low, rumbling chuckle that sent chills down her spine. It wasn’t just the sound of it; it was the darkness behind it. The amusement in his laughter terrified her. "And I am a sinner, my little fish," he replied, his voice dripping with menace as his eyes flashed with hunger, before sinking his fangs in her neck.

The Beginning of The Beginnings by Simon Smolnik In the endless expanse of eternity, where multiple realms converge and the gods decide on the very fabric of existence, there is born an outstanding tale. The Beginning of The Beginnings is not just a tale; it's an experience-born love for imagination, storytelling, and biblical scripture that takes readers deep into the breathtaking worlds of vibrant characters down to the ultimate struggle between good and evil. The Almighty God stands in the midst, and then Sarnel the Eternal Prince of Heaven, a figure whose presence radiates an aura of strength, authority, and grace. Then there is the company of the Seven Great Archangels, who are celestial beings who serve in roles so grand yet deeply personal. It is through epic battles, profound moments of vulnerability, and steadfast devotion that each one of them-Michael, Raphael, Uriel, and the rest-play their role in the unfolding narrative. This story was born from my desire to create something meaningful, something that could bring people closer to each other while also introducing them to the truths that I believe in. I have always loved the idea of crafting worlds from my imagination: worlds of wonder, beauty, and conflict. The Beginning of The Beginnings truly reflects that passion: a mixture of grand cosmic battles, intricate characters, and amazing settings. Growing up in Poland and living in the UK for almost five years surrounded me with the beauty of different cultures, environments, and ways of life. These experiences shaped my view of this world and inspired me to channel that sense of wonder into the stories I write. I hope this reimagining of biblical figures such as Michael or Gabriel can show their stories in a new light, deeply rooted in scripture with creative expression. I love writing epic fights that echo across heaven, creating this huge and expansive cosmology to connect every layer of existence from the Throne of God down into the darkest depths of Hell. But this is not a novel of mere battles and world-building. It's about the relationships between these beings: the struggles, the triumphs, and the unwavering sense of purpose that they have. It's about exploring what it means to be part of something greater than oneself, to stand firm in the face of unimaginable challenges, and to fight for what's right-even when the odds are against you. The Beginning of The Beginnings is my means of sharing this wonder with any who would consider such tales and mortals who genuinely love epic tales, faith, and creativity. I thus hope that this book will allow people to see beauty in these realms and feel the inspiration that strength and love bind them together. This is just the beginning of a larger vision I have, and I can’t wait to share this journey with you. If you want to support me or see more things I'm working on.

In the prestigious Institute of All Stars Universal, nestled in the glittering heart of Australia, power isn't just taught—it's inherited, fought for, and sometimes stolen. Behind its imposing gates, a story of love, betrayal, vengeance, and earth-shattering secrets is about to unfold. Iris Smith appears to be just another privileged 18-year-old heiress—the beloved daughter of Australia's financial titans, Mr. and Mrs. Smith. But beneath her sweet demeanor and shy smiles lies an extraordinary truth: since age 14, she's been secretly outmaneuvering even her parents in the business world, wielding powers that would make their empire look like a mere stepping stone.

When betrayal strikes from the two people she trusted most—her boyfriend Brenton and best friend Naima—Iris's world shatters. The devastating blow transforms her from a quiet powerhouse into someone even she doesn't recognize. Just as she builds her walls higher, fate throws her into the orbit of Aiden Mayers—the notorious campus playboy, son of a prominent politician, and the face of Agatha Modelling Institute. He's everything she's trying to avoid: charming, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. Within the Institute's divided departments, where alliances shift like sand and power plays unfold daily, Iris faces a choice that could reshape not just her future, but the entire hierarchy of their world. Will she risk opening her wounded heart to the one person who could either heal or destroy it completely? Or will she channel her pain into becoming the kind of ruler that makes even kings tremble? As love and rivalry collide, one question remains: In a game where talents can topple empires and secrets can kill, who will Iris choose to be—the princess everyone underestimated, or the queen no one saw coming? Prepare to be drawn into a world where power wears a designer label, love comes with a price tag, and revenge is served at a temperature that burns everything in its path. Welcome to the Institute of All Stars Universal, where nothing is quite what it seems, and everyone has something to hide.
