Straw Hat Bounties After Alabasta

Heaven holds the Gods, Earth holds humanity, and the world is devoid of Immortals. Three thousand years ago, the Divine Artifacts descended. A cataclysm shook the heavens and the earth, spiritual energy waned, and the Immortals vanished. A hundred and fifty years ago, the Divine Artifacts descended again. The fertile Chipa Plateau and the invincible Ancient City of Coiling Dragons—both reduced to dust. Another hundred years passed, and I... descended. But the path to unraveling all the mysteries—and the key to surviving this chaotic world—starts with learning to live as a scoundrel; It begins with mastering the art of hiding one’s edge and appearing humble; It begins with embarking on an adventure; It begins with overturning a preordained fate. Most crucially, it begins with stepping into the dreams of the Gods.

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."

Jiang Ning was the true heiress of the Huo Family, lost and living outside. After being brought back by her family, her birth parents didn't like her, her cold-faced brother despised her, and her twin brothers would tell her to get lost from the home at the drop of a hat. Waking up alone in the hospital, she was diagnosed by the doctor with a terminal illness, yet her own family was busy throwing a party for the fake heiress. Jiang Ning was furious! She kicked these so-called family members one by one, sending them all flying! If they didn't accept her, she didn't care for them either! ...... Jiang Ning participated in a rural countryside live stream variety show. Her haters caught wind and came to greet Jiang Ning's entire family in the barrage of messages. But what they found was: Day one: Shock! Jiang Ning catches a thief on the street! A golden retriever runs over to help her. Day two: Jiang Ning snatches a child back from human traffickers with her bare hands! A bird publicly defecates on the traffickers' heads! Day three: Jiang Ning fights a criminal in a life-and-death struggle! A goose mocks them at the scene. Thief: "I had already finished stealing, and she still caught me. It's absurd." Murderer on the run for sixteen years: "You might not believe it, but I just came to buy a bottle of water, and she came up to me with a big right hook." A nice countryside live stream somehow turned into a legal synergy. The online audience crazily tagged the official police accounts: "Let's be honest, isn't she an undercover agent you dispatched?" "Jiang Ning's side job is entering the entertainment industry, but her main role is catching criminals, right?" A certain big shot attached a wedding photo: "Wife, mine."

I'll release a minimum of 4 times a week cause life makes me busy. Also, 36k words before locked chapters, might seem early but that's what can I say. Thank you for understanding. #darkcomedy #psychological #strategy #zombies #survival there would be one more tag here but it would be a spoiler :)

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.

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. It's a talent she's kept hidden from everyone, including those closest to her heart. 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.

--- **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

Twenty years after a global nuclear war destroyed everything, humanity has vanished from Earth. Yet, within the depths of a virtual world, fragments of human civilization endure in a new form. 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. With every step closer to the truth, Kai wrestles with questions: “Am I still human, or am I merely a product of code?” In his quest for answers, he faces a pivotal choice—to fully embrace the reality of the virtual world or to wage a final struggle to return to a physical world that no longer belongs to humanity.
