The world as we know it was destroyed overnight. Without warning, the power went out, technology was paralyzed, and millions of people turned into flesh-hungry zombies. From the sky, a mysterious voice echoed in everyone's mind: [Welcome to the Age of Doom! Kill or be killed. No rules. No mercy.] In the midst of this chaos, Raka Wiratama, an ordinary college student, found himself with a power that no one else had—the Domination System. Every enemy he killed could be controlled by him. Corpses that should have been silent now stood under his command. With the world turned into hell, Raka was not just trying to survive. He wanted more than that. He wanted power. But out there, other humans were rising too. Ruthless soldiers, bloodthirsty criminal gangs, and factions seeking to rule this new world. In a world without law, only those who were strong enough could stand at the top. And Raka was determined to become the ruler of this Age of Doom.

She was one of the most powerful vampires in the world—her name alone struck fear into demons and creatures alike. Yet somehow, he wasn’t afraid of her. He was infuriating, reckless, and completely human. Everything about him irritated her. And yet—he was the only one who could make her laugh. The only one who could make her blush. The only one who made her dead heart beat. But she knew it wasn’t love. It couldn’t be. Because if he was her mate… she would have to kill him. "I love you, Myra," he confessed, his voice steady. She had heard those words a thousand times before. But when she looked into those lapis-blue eyes, the ones that always held her captive—she almost forgot why she couldn’t say it back. "I can’t love you." She had to tell him. Had to remind herself. But he only cupped her face, his forehead resting against hers as he whispered— "You will. That’s a promise."

This text has no male lead, no romance. The female lead is slightly timid in the first volume, a bit infatuated in the second, and from the third volume onwards... life seems like a Siberian Husky. Below is the sequence of volumes, if there are chapters missing, they're probably blocked. 1 Who's best at murder and dismemberment? Look in the suitcase for jackals and wolves. 2 I can handle tutoring, even rocks can be turned to gold. 3 Freshman military training brings tears, Changan loves to eat smoked sausage. 4 A thousand miles of predestined marriage hangs by a thread, whether it's good or bad all depends on fate. 5 My idol is the absolute best, the idol chose me to be their partner. 6 The boss behind the scenes is here, doing whatever they want without logic. 7 Ghost Festival inspiration comes late, helplessly put here. 8 Official advancement and wealth cost a child's life, a good son leaps like a carp over the dragon gate. 9 A trip to the plastic surgery clinic, all the fat is shaken off. 11 Who in the Human World can resist a beauty? Run out of roman numerals, use numbers instead. 11 Turtles may live long, but still dread the end, the characters fear a 404. 12 The local zombie looks handsome, cries out adorably when opening its mouth. 13 One dance captures the city, the beauty of the past fades away. There's a lot more, too tired to write the summary...

Fui caçada desde o momento em que nasci, temida por aquilo que sou, mas fui acolhida e protegida por aqueles que conheciam a verdade sobre minha natureza. Cresci aprendendo a me passar por uma entre eles, enquanto buscava poder. Para mim, o poder não era apenas um meio, mas a chave para um futuro em que eu pudesse finalmente ser eu mesma, sem medo ou restrições. Séculos depois, a verdade finalmente se revelou, desvendando as razões por trás da perseguição implacável e os eventos que marcaram meu nascimento. Uma verdade sombria e cruel me foi roubada, assim como a vida daqueles que ousaram defender o que era meu por direito. E agora, não me esconderei mais. Ressurgirei das cinzas do meu passado para reivindicar o que é meu e derramarei fúria sobre aqueles que me causaram tanto sofrimento.
