“They're not dead,” “They are alive… watching and laughing from the shadows as we all fall into our coffins.” The Domains had grown weaker, and the Gate of Oblivion had finally collapsed, weaving ancient terrors back into existence. Ripped from their reality, three strangers were plunged into a nightmarish dimension where death was permanent, and survival was an illusion. Every full moon, the Otherworlders were judged with simple but merciless rules—succeed and walk further in hell, fail and be annihilated. ___ Elias Valor, a ruthless hitman for a local mafia, was no stranger to violence, but the dreads of this dimension pushed him beyond insanity as he stumbled against two other anomalies—Lysandra, a sinister healer, and Malachi, a mad prophet. With each mission, they descended deeper into a world where their deadly and mystic skills were both a weapon and a curse. Haunted by their past sins and the forgotten horrors of the dimension, they had to navigate brutal landscapes where survival came at a price too steep to pay. As the lines between reality and nightmare blurred, they faced a dark truth: the greatest threat might not be the dimension, but the darkness they once were. “The clock has stopped—but the true game has not even started.”

Everest was the final commander of the last bastion, Cradle. Confronted by the imminent destruction of humanity through the monstrous abominations of the apocalypse, he wielded the weapon that would burn land asunder.

Destroying the surface of the world in the process. The human civilization ended with an atomic spectacle. And he could finally rest after fighting for decades. With the conclusion of humanity's tragedy, Everest could finally rest after fighting for their survival since the beginning of the outbreak. Or so he thought. Perhaps destiny hated him with all it had. After all... He was roused from his comforting slumber, back to where it all had begun. The final days when humanity stood at the apex of existence. Was this a cruel joke to make him relive forgotten tragedies? Or was it a second chance? [ Congratulations, Everest! ] [ You have initialized the Apocalyptic Leveling System! ] Well... from the looks of it, there was no doubt it might be the latter. How do you survive the apocalypse with a leveling system?

The negotiating rule in the packs was simple. You give what you took. The war and animosity between the Nightshade and Moonstone pack have been ongoing for centuries. But this time something drastic happened. The Nightshade pack lost their Luna. To maintain peace in the werewolf world, the council arrived at only one solution, a Luna in exchange for a Luna. And that’s where I got into the picture. Astrid Brooks, 26 years old. A born princess. The only daughter of the 4 children of Moonstone’s Alpha. Married off as a peace offering to none other than Kael Knight, Alpha of Nightshade pack. A replacement to his late wife, his very mate, whose blood has still not dried from the hands of my father. From the life of a princess to a mere maid, from light to darkness and from being the most loved person to one detested with crazy passion. I became a mere replacement. And this was just the beginning of my story or should I say suffering.

Eisley Sawyer was promised to Magnus Sawyer by her mother at a tender age for marriage. However, Magnus turned out to be far from a loving husband. He is one to cheat and beat her up, whether she was at fault or not. Desperate to escape this nightmare, Eisley overheard the local wives discussing a notorious gangster and businessman coming to town. This man, Irwin Kent, happened to be her husband's boss—a man known for having any woman he desired, even those married to his employees. Eisley saw in Irwin a man more powerful than her husband, presenting her with a potential escape route. But how long could she rely on this path without falling for her saviour? EXTRACT: Magnus gazed at Irwin, then dropped to his knees. "Forgive me, but she's all I have. I can't lose her. I love her so much. Please, let her come back to me." Irwin leaned back, eyes fixed on the ceiling as the smoke from his cigarette clouded his view. "She wants a divorce." A heavy silence filled the room. Irwin sat up, scrutinizing Magnus, who remained on his knees, utterly bewildered. "My wife is still very young and naive." "Is she? She strikes me as quite bold and wise," Irwin countered, "She's my type," he added, biting his lower lip with a smirk that made Magnus furious. "Sir, Eisley is my whole life!"

The cataclysm happened quickly. Portals appeared and monsters invaded earth. People awakened powers and fought back. And after one month. [Channel 16379 earth has opened up] Beings called constellations came and showered awakened with support and powers. I even got a gift from one [Constellation Fighting goddess: is gifting you an item!] [Obtained item: Constellation's sword(SS+)] With that weapon I became the strongest awakened and struggled to keep humanity alive. But that's all useless history now. The world has gone to shit. With the appearance of otherworldly corruption the world didn't stand a chance. It gave immeasurable power for a price.

"Bring him to his knees." Wait, what? This was supposed to be my reward ceremony, hell, I had just seconds ago finally received the title they decided to push on me. "Bring me the ring." Alice De Vritara, crimson eyes that burned like fire as she looked down at him. He was so dumbfounded that he didn't even try to stop her as she forced his arm up and placed a ring in his hand. A silver band that twined around a large amethyst that held a deeply crimson core, the Eye of Rostam, expensive enough to buy half a city. "Oh? Is this a proposal? I didn't know you wanted to marry me that much." Wait, what? You're the one who forced me to hold the ring, hell, you're even the one who forced me to my knees like this. In this situation, shouldn't I be the one saying thigns like that? "Don't look at me like that, I'm just following your third tenet." Again, what? You're blaming this on me?

Being a parent means expecting the unexpected, but I never thought my three-year-old would become the villain in my cryptocurrency saga. It all started one chaotic evening while I was multitasking dinner prep and watching my little one. I had left my laptop open on the counter-logged into my $120,000 Bitcoin wallet, no less-because who could foresee a toddler becoming a digital Houdini? I was chopping vegetables in the kitchen but glanced over at my child, quite happy, banging away on the keyboard. "Cute," I thought, right up until the confirmation tone sounded. My heart dropped as I turned to find those tiny fingers had, somehow, just reset my wallet password. And now, all that stared back at me, on the screen in front of me, was an innocuous but soul-crushing message: "Access Denied." What followed was an emotional rollercoaster: the disbelief at first, like, how could a random flurry of key mashing create something so catastrophically bad, was followed by panic as I desperately tried every conceivable combination of passwords I could possibly think of. And then came the realization, stark and unwelcome: I had locked myself out of my wallet, and $120,000 was gone. It was both funny and terrifying-it was a toddler with no other weapon but curiosity outsmarting me. At my wit's end, I turned in desperation for help to Asset Rescue Specialist . I did feel a little silly explaining the situation to them-half expecting them to burst out laughing-but they reassured me and said I wasn't the first parent who had faced a "toddler tech incident.". Their team got to work immediately, treating my case with the urgency and professionalism it deserved. They kept me updated throughout the process, explaining their steps in a way that made me feel confident my funds were in good hands. A few days later, they called with the news I’d been praying for—they had successfully recovered my wallet. Relief washed over me. As I secured my newly unlocked wallet with a far more robust, yes, even Toddler-Proof system in place, I couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculously absurd the entire ordeal was. Even the guys from Asset Rescue Specialist threw in some advice regarding my device protection against inquisitive little fingers. Lesson learned: never underestimate the power of a toddler-or the value of a trusted recovery service like Asset Rescue Specialist. From now on, my laptop stays far out of reach during playtime.DM via: Contact Email; assetrescuespecialist (AT) qualityservice (DOT) com.or.support@assetrescuespecialist.com.
