What would happen if a demon was given another chance at life? He could pursue what he once longed for, the dreams that slipped away in his previous existence. He could tread carefully, avoiding the pitfalls that had led to his downfall. He could live with purpose, embracing each moment fully, free from the weight of regret. But was his rebirth truly so simple? The one who orchestrated his return must have had their own reasons. Their intentions were veiled in shadow, their motives unknown. Was this a benevolent act, or a cunning trap? Could the demon truly fulfill his desires this time, or would he fail once more, doomed to repeat his mistakes? And what of the one who held the strings? Would the demon escape their grasp, carving his own destiny, or would he remain ensnared, bound to their will like a puppet on a stage? His second chance was no gift—it was a gamble, a test of will and strength. The path ahead was fraught with challenges, each step heavier than the last. Would he break free and claim the life he craved, or would he fall again, a slave to forces beyond his control? The answers lay in the choices he would make. And this time, he vowed, he would choose wisely—or die trying.

Stripped of his former self and reborn with the Abyssal Devourer System, he awakens to a world that worships the righteous and fears the unknown. But Jiang Xuan is no ordinary cultivator—he is a predator of fate, a cunning strategist whose methods are as calculated as they are merciless. Determined to upend the established order, Jiang Xuan harnesses his dark cultivation techniques and a mysterious resource called Chaos Coins to devour the souls and destinies of those who stand in his path. From poisoning a promising sect heir to reanimating fallen disciples as mindless puppets, every move is a step toward dismantling the hypocritical righteous sects and oppressive dynasties that dominate the realm. Yet, Jiang Xuan's ascent is not without peril. Eschewing the crutch of plot armor, he navigates treacherous alliances, unpredictable enemies, and the ever-watchful eyes of the heavens with a cold, calculated precision. As he rewrites the laws of cultivation and turns every encounter into a calculated play for power, the celestial order begins to tremble before the might of a man who sees life and fate as nothing more than tools to be exploited. In a world where every soul is a resource and trust is a liability, Jiang Xuan's relentless pursuit of power promises not just revolution, but a descent into an abyss of devastation that none will escape.

In 2025, the mysterious “Virus Z” appeared in the Russian city of Sevastopol, transforming citizens into ravenous zombies. What was first thought to be a simple epidemic quickly revealed itself to be the most threatening pandemic in human history. Confident at first that they could stop this new pandemic, the world's governments failed to grasp the scale of the threat. As a result, China and Korea were among the first to fall. Then India, then Russia, until the whole Asian continent had collapsed. With no army able to stop the zombie tide, all of Afro-Eurasia succumbed and became a massive uninhabitable zone. In the end, only nature's impassable borders—the oceans—halted the spread of Virus Z. Ten years later, the world is divided into two zones: the forbidden Black Zone, where the infection is still present, and the White Zone, home to the world's survivors and refugees. The White Zone survives only due to Dr. Goldberg's “Genesis Project”—the creation of living biological weapons immune to Virus Z. These people, whose DNA has been modified to make them super-powerful, are known to the world as “Hunters."

On the night of the starless sky, the king’s consort, in an attempted to stop the king from carrying out an unspeakable act, breached the vault of divinity—she dared to seize powers meant only for the gods. And in her audacity, she did not merely steal the empire that night; she stole the light of heaven and the balance of the entire world. The consequences of what followed were disastrous; humanity awoke to terrifying new abilities, powers born not of blessing but of a divine curse. Some used these powers for violence and dominion. Others who were consumed by it were turned into monstrosities. The land itself became diseased, and profanities of every kind roamed the lands: creatures of unholy origin, and people whose humanity had been corrupted. Amid all these, Damek Velmontis, a young boy from a tribe of no significance, sought a place where he and others were safe, untouched by the decay that stained every corner of existence… Nowhere offered safety... Damek was hunted and betrayed by the sins of those who brought the world to ruin. They told him to accept the new order, to embrace the decay as the natural state of things. He rejected the curse of a ruined world and the complacency of its survivors. Refusal turned to rage and rage to resolve. If the world was too broken to be fixed, then he would destroy those who had shattered it. He would hunt down every one of them. Should the world ultimately prove irredeemable in the end, he would bestow upon the universe its most desperate need: Oblivion.

Racing against time, Ethan must navigate through haunted ruins, secret underground cities, and war-torn landscapes to stop the Hollow King before the world is plunged into an eternal nightmare.

Selamat datang di KUMPULAN CERPEN, perpaduan karya-karya terpilih dari berbagai event sastra yang saya ikuti. Buku ini merupakan hasil kerja sama dengan beberapa penerbit terkemuka dan saya sudah mendapat izin untuk mempulikasikannya secara Online. Saya berharap karya-karya ini dapat menghibur, menginspirasi, dan memperkaya dengan berbagai imajinasi. Alasan mempublikasikan secara online, karena sayang jika hanya tersimpan dan berdebu di dalam rak atau di simpan di dalam sebuah kardus dan di makan oleh rayap. Jadi, saya memutuskan untuk mempublikasikannya di secara online agar banyak yang membaca dan semakin terlatih juga diri saya dalam merangkai kata. Cerita yang di bawakan beragam, ada tentang cinta, persahabatan, keluarga, teman, rival dan petualangan. Cerita-ceirita ini juga tentu akan saya revisi agar ceritanya lebih menarik.
