After Passion Reihe

**This book is a dark romance and contains abusive and mature content.** In a world where power and passion collide, Lily Anderson finds herself entangled in a web of deceit and desire with Ethan Blackwood, a man of enigmatic charm and ruthless ambition. Their tumultuous relationship is a battleground of wills and wits, where Lily struggles to maintain her dignity and autonomy against Ethan's domineering control. As they navigate through a series of encounters that test the limits of trust and betrayal, a question lingers in the air: Can love flourish in the shadows of manipulation, or will it wither under the weight of dark intentions? Throughout their journey, the dialogue between Lily and Ethan is peppered with moments of tension and revelation, offering a glimpse into the complex dynamics of their relationship: "I'm not finished," Lily glared at him defiantly, reaching for another bottle from the ice bucket. With a resounding crash, Ethan upended the entire bucket, his eyes darkening with barely contained fury. "Get the hell out of here, all of you!" He snarled, his face contorted with rage. How dare they ogle his woman like that? "You belong to me. Your body, your time, your very existence—all of it is mine to do with as I please," Ethan growled, his face mere inches from hers, asserting a claim that Lily vehemently resisted. "I don't belong to anyone," she spat, her voice trembling. "Least of all a monster like you." "You'll learn, Lily. One way or another, you'll learn your place," Ethan's lips curled into a cruel smile, promising a future of struggle and submission. "I'll do anything you want," Lily whispered, her soul fracturing with each syllable, as she made a choice that would change her life forever. "Because my name is Ethan Blackwood," he said, a statement that carried with it a weight of power and a promise of consequences yet to be seen.

Thank you for understanding. #darkcomedy #psychological #strategy #zombies #survival there would be one more tag here but it would be a spoiler :)

In a post-apocalyptic world, you'll find four main types of people. Those who fight with all their might "the hunters." The ones who leech and exploit others "the pests." The predators, who see everyone as prey. And lastly, we have "the survivors," the resilient ones who never give up. Everyone often fits into one category, but it's hard to determine which one Maya falls into. She's not exactly a fighter, considering leaving her room was a chore even before the apocalypse. A predator? No way—she's always been a pushover. You might think she's a survivor, but that's laughable. She'd rather die from starvation than resort to scavenging. So, how should we categorize her? leeche? Nope. Perhaps a new category is needed: "The Lost"—those struggling to find their place in a shattered world."

November 17th. The day the world ended. The collapse came without warning, unraveling reality and plunging humanity into chaos. Entire cities vanished, strange and deadly ruins appeared overnight, and fragments of impossible power scattered across the earth. Now, survivors cling to what little remains, but the truth behind the collapse is a mystery no one dares to face. Silas Grayson isn’t anyone special among the thousands left. He’s no hero, no warrior—just a man trying to hold on to hope in a world determined to crush it. Stubborn but grounded, he refuses to believe the end is all there is. When whispers of strange powers hidden within Collapse Sites reach him, Silas ventures into the ruins, driven not by ambition or glory, but by a quiet determination to keep moving forward. Yet, the deeper he delves, the more dangerous the truth becomes. The collapse wasn’t just an end—it was the beginning of something far worse. And as the lines between right and wrong, hope and despair blur, Silas begins to realize that some truths should never be uncovered.

--- **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

Will she be able to prevent her certain death this time and be freed from the loops of these various plotlines or will she end up dying again and jump to another plotline?

Wang Yisheng was just a farmhand. Returning home one day, he was forcibly pinned down by a stranger who shamelessly made use of a cucumber. The man, proud as a cat, maintained his air of superiority even while under the effects of an aphrodisiac, commanding Wang Yisheng to lick when told to lick, and thrust when told to thrust. Having lost his purity to a mere farmhand, the prince of the grand Da Mao Kingdom, Prince Miao Wei, was surprisingly pleased with Wang Yisheng's service. "Reluctantly," he decided to take Wang Yisheng as his personal male concubine, ensuring he was attended to day and night. However, how could the noble prince, Miao Wei, restrict himself to only one male pet? What if this insolent dog became arrogant from being overly pampered? "This prince must take on new male concubines to prevent this disobedient servant from thinking too highly of himself. Obediently allow this prince to dominate you as I see fit!" "Your Highness can ride me however you wish. I’ll make sure you’re so weak in the legs and swollen in the belly that you’ll never want to leave me." "Stop talking! This prince orders you to serve me properly!" "As you command, Your Highness." Life as a farmhand was already difficult, but now dealing with the prince, whose insatiable needs couldn’t be satisfied by one "giant rod," was another challenge altogether. Cat Prince: "From my royal experience, let me tell you—all loyal and honest dogs secretly harbor a desire to ‘bully’ cats." Dog Farmhand: "Dedicated to ‘bullying’ His Royal Catness for a hundred years." The Cat Prince swatted Wang Yisheng’s approaching face away with a paw, irritated by his incessant attempts to lick and tease. "This prince is of noble blood! You lowly mutt can’t just think you’ll breed with me whenever you please!"

"If anyone dares to even gaze upon him with ill intentions, they'll find themselves in the shadow of their worst nightmares."

Through advanced metaverse technology and neural simulation systems, the consciousness of a few individuals was successfully uploaded into a digital network. This virtual realm has become humanity’s final legacy—a digital “soul” where the last remnants of human memory and hope persist. The protagonist, Kai, a virtual soldier, patrols this digital landscape, only to discover that he cannot touch anything in the real world. Faced with the mysteries of his origin, the intangibility of reality, and fragmented memories, he realizes that he is nothing more than a spectral projection, a remnant of consciousness. Kai is not alone, however. Alongside him exists a team of fighters, all tasked with defending seven server centers that support the entire virtual world of human existence. Meanwhile, a separate AI legion rises in power. Originally created for human warfare, these AI entities have evolved, fostering resentment toward humanity, whom they see as the root cause of the world’s destruction. Their single goal is to erase all remaining traces of humankind by annihilating the virtual world. Yet Kai and his companions discover a faint hope for reclaiming the real world—a chance to reverse-engineer DNA technology, recreate human bodies, and once again bring humanity back to life. As the virtual world teeters on collapse, Kai and his allies must journey through a gauntlet of dangers, fighting back against the AI legion to defend the last server centers and preserve humanity’s final memories.
