In a world where strength reigns supreme and enemies lurk in every shadow, Sirius must rise above them all or risk being devoured by the very world he seeks to conquer. As he collects their talents and strengthens his own, he uncovers the dark mysteries of his world—and the truth behind the catalysm.

From fleeing for your safety and enrolling in a school filled with psychopaths… to being claimed by a deranged alpha prince? Yeah, you’re better off dead. • . • Jules’ life was picture perfect until his entire family got murdered all of a sudden, with him being the only survivor. A savior swooped In because he was still in immense danger, and that led to Jules taking on a new identity and becoming a completely different person overnight— and enrolling into Carnivals, a prestigious all-boys school for all supernatural beings. In Carnivals, monsters lurk the dark hallways and the strong preyed on the weak. You either become a predator or a prey… and from one look at Jules— a boy too pretty for his own good, with a slender and petite build, it was obvious that he was gonna be eaten alive by the predators. Here comes Blaze, a wolf who sends shivers down every predator’s spine in the school, an insanely hot Alpha who was as dangerous and deranged as the rumors claimed. He took one glance at Jules and decided there and then that Jules belonged to him. *** I inched backwards, eyes widening even more as my eyes zeroed in on the smirk tugging at the side of his lips. Blaze never smiled, and whenever he does, it never meant anything good. My heartbeat quickened as I scrambled backwards even more, breath stuttering to a stop as he began to narrow the distance between us. In no time, my back was plastered against the cold wall and that was when it hit me right in the chest that I was cornered and ensnared, like an actual prey… by none other than Blaze, when I had thought my life couldn’t get any worse. He towered over me effortlessly, emitting so much dominance and I had to tilt my head backwards for me to be able to meet his dark eyes, and my breath hitched when our eyes locked. He leaned down and my eyes snapped closed at once as I held my breath, waiting for him to strike. I’ve heard all the horrifying, endless rumors about him. He was an Alpha Prince whose presence someone like me should never be in. When I felt the tip of his cold nose glide over the length of my throat, my mouth fell open to release a startled gasp. He dragged in a long, audible breath and I felt a shiver rattle down my spine as I grew even stiffer, confusion clouding my mind. What was happening? Why was he doing this out of nowhere? Oh my gosh… he really was a deranged alpha like everyone says! *** THIS BOOK IS RATED 18+! It contains matured content such as: - Bullying. - Drug use. - Smut [a whole lot of it.] - Violence. - Harem [not between the main characters.] So… proceed with caution, you’ve been warned! *I don’t own the rights to the cover!

How can humans live like this? I feel weak, no matter I'll regain my formal might and rule over this world once again. Maybe I can have some fun with some human girls until then. This world isn't ready for what's to come.

On this vast continent, warriors stand as the apex of the pyramid, capable of shattering the heavens and breaking the earth, battling amidst the celestial realms. To become a warrior, one must possess a martial soul! Ye Tian, a special forces soldier from the Huaxia nation, found himself transported to this world that venerates martial prowess. By virtue of his innate talent, he met the conditions for awakening his martial soul by the age of fifteen. However, fate played a cruel jest on him, for he was devoid of a martial soul! Yet, following an unexpected encounter, he acquired the forbidden tome of an ancient shaman, enabling him to cultivate a devouring physique. No martial soul? He can devour the martial souls of others.

In a post-apocalyptic world, you'll find four main types of people. Those who fight with all their might are "the hunters." The ones who leech and exploit others are "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."

I never thought that my life would take such a drastic turn. One moment, I was a regular high school student, and the next, I found myself in a completely different world. A world where animals ruled and humans were the outsiders. It all started when I had a near-death experience. The last thing I remembered was a blinding light, and then, I woke up in a forest. However, I wasn't myself anymore. I had been reincarnated as a small, fluffy rabbit. I couldn't believe it. I was now a mere prey animal, vulnerable to every predator in the forest. But I refused to let this be the end of me. I had always been a determined person, and I wasn't going to let this new body stop me. So, I started to observe the animals around me, learning their ways and techniques for survival. I learned how to be quick and agile, how to hide and camouflage myself, and most importantly, how to fight. I knew that if I wanted to survive in this world, I had to become stronger. And so, I set out on a journey to become the top predator in the forest. I challenged animals much bigger and stronger than me, using my wit and agility to defeat them. Slowly but surely, I started to climb up the food chain. As I became stronger, I also gained a new sense of respect and admiration from the other animals. They saw me as a survivor, a leader, and someone to be feared. I had gone from a weak and defenseless rabbit to a powerful and respected predator. But my journey didn't end there. I soon discovered that there was an ancient evil lurking in the forest. A dark force that wanted to bring darkness and destruction to the land. And I knew that it was up to me, the newly crowned top predator, to stop it. With the help of my animal friends, I embarked on a quest to defeat the evil and protect our home. It was a dangerous and challenging journey, but I was determined to see it through. And in the end, we were able to defeat the darkness and bring peace back to the forest. As I looked back on my journey, I realized that getting reincarnated into an animal was the best thing that ever happened to me. It had made me stronger, braver, and a true leader. And I couldn't wait to see what other adventures awaited me in this wild and wonderful animal world.

'The prophecy of The Great Bloom has echoed through history for generations, offering a glimmer of hope in a world oppressed by the terrifying Primordials. It foretells that one day, under the leadership of the Heralder—the only human ever born with an SSS-rank bloodline—humanity will finally reclaim its place atop the food chain. The Primordials, ancient, deadly beings of unimaginable power that have ruled with fear and might, will be eradicated once and for all. But humanity has always been its own worst enemy. Driven by greed, envy, and treachery, they turned on their only saviour. The Heralder was betrayed, and the dream of The Great Bloom was all but snuffed out…' _____ That was the last part I managed to read before a freak accident electrocuted me to death. One minute, I was devouring the thrilling pages of a fantasy novel; the next, I was dead. When I opened my eyes again, I wasn’t in a hospital or the afterlife—I was inside the world of the novel I had been reading. I originally thought I was just a side character in this novel's world. After all, I wasn't the Heralder, the supposed saviour destined to lead humanity against the Primordials. No, I was just someone on the sidelines, a spectator to the chaos that was bound to unfold. But everything changed the day I awakened my bloodline. It wasn't some average C-rank or B-rank power—I had awakened an SSS-grade bloodline, a rarity beyond belief. The very kind the Heralder was supposed to have! Now, instead of playing the background, I had to hide this dangerous secret from the world. If anyone found out... it would spell disaster. The forces conspiring against the Heralder would come after me next. I have to stay under the radar, but at the same time, I know what’s coming. I know the fate that awaits this world. I have to act. But how does one secretly save the world when they're marked for death the moment they reveal their true power?

In the year 2084, The world stood on the precipice of destruction. Decades of simmering tensions between East and West erupted into the inevitable—a cataclysmic World War III. No nation was spared. Alliances forged in desperation and shattered by betrayal became the norm. Countries chose sides not for justice, but for survival. The war wasn’t just about ideologies; it was about greed, fear, and the cruel inevitability of power. Nuclear fire rained from the skies, reducing cities to shadows of ash. The atmosphere grew toxic, the land barren, and the oceans poisoned. Humanity had finally created its perfect apocalypse. Humans turned against humans. Neighbors became predators. Survival became a blood-soaked art. Resources. Shelter. Safety. No price was too high. No act too savage. "I kill you before you kill me" became the only rule that mattered. No one cared who lit the first match or why. Right and wrong dissolved into the radioactive fog. The war was universal, relentless, and final. The year is 2084. The world lies broken, steeped in chaos. And from the ruins, a Devil was born.

Skipping class to visit the simulation room where advance games and virtual reality comes to life, Gun installs the game and the whole world changes with it. Why was he in a room with people?

You reincarnate in a fantastical realm, where powers awaken within you, and systems materialize from thin air. The leveling program trains you, shaping you into an unstoppable force. You crush those who dare to stand in your path. Confidence surges, strength grows—until you become the absolute apex, a being transformed into something more than human. The world bends before you, acknowledging your might. You are the dominator, the protagonist of this grand narrative, the one who possesses it all—the very reality that others can only dream of, a world they wish to inhabit. But it was nothing more than a fleeting fantasy, a hollow dream. You suffer. You die. And when you awaken, it is to the black void of an endless abyss. Death becomes a cycle—an unbroken rhythm of agony, only to be reborn into more torment. No powers. No help. No escape. From the realms of fantasy to the depths of hell, everything collapses into absurdity, a cruel parody of what once seemed real. The world, once so tangible, now feels impossibly distant and unfathomably close. It’s all cliché… until it’s your reality.

(Mature content) “I don't share, plain and simple” His voice resonated. He was relaxed, in a sort of scary-calm way which was beginning to seem worse than shouting.

And he never loses too.
