Still Life

The world didn’t end with fire or war. It ended with a whisper, then a scream. For Elise Carter, high school was already unbearable, but when the infection began, it became a waking nightmare. The dead don’t stay dead. The infected stand still, their milky eyes staring, before they snap. No one is safe. No one is coming to help. Now, trapped in a collapsing town, Elise is forced to flee with a group of survivors toward a rumored safe haven. Among them are Damian Holt, the ruthless fighter willing to spill blood to keep them alive, and Callum Graves, the quiet strategist whose secrets might be deadlier than the infection itself. Between them, Elise walks a thin line—torn between the boy who will burn the world down to protect her and the one who makes her question if survival is enough. But safety is a lie. The infection is evolving. The dead are changing. And the deeper they go, the clearer it becomes—the worst monsters aren’t the ones trying to eat you. Because sometimes, the real horror is what you have to become to survive.

Author: Q: Why is Linggis, a Rank A hunter, being hunted by all the other hunters? A: Because he brought a coffin out of a dungeon—something that should be impossible and extremely dangerous. Everyone at the location wants to know what’s inside, and many people believe linggis is a dangerous person on the level of a devil, the coffin could be either a great threat or an invaluable treasure. Q: What’s inside the coffin he brought out of the dungeon? A: That’s a major spoiler. But one thing’s for sure—the contents are important, and they involve an old friend of Linggis. Q: Is this a slice-of-life romance story? A: Yes, it’s slice-of-life romance, but it still includes elements of hunters, dungeons, and action. Q: Is the MC overpowered? A: It depends on the market. If readers prefer an overpowered MC, then he will be overpowered. If they prefer a character who grows stronger gradually, the story will follow that direction. Q: Does this novel have a harem? A: It depends on the market. If the demand is high for a harem, then there will be one. If not, then there won’t be. Q: Is the romance very sweet? A: Again, it depends on the market. If readers love sugary romance that feels like a diabetes-inducing treat, then that’s what they’ll get. Q: Is there a lot of action? A: It depends on the market. If action is popular, then there will be plenty of it. If readers prefer character interactions, the focus will shift accordingly. Q: Why isn’t fashion a priority in this story? A: Because I’m not an idealist. I don’t care about aesthetics unless they directly impact the story or the market. Q: Why does every decision in the story depend on the market? A: Because I’m not a hypocrite—I need as much human capital as possible. I write not for personal ideals but to create something that can succeed in the market.

Angel Johnson was a waitress struggling to make ends meet when an unexpected contract with Tryson Bliss, one of City Y's most powerful and ruthless billionaires, changed everything. Tryson needed a fiancée to appease his demanding family, and Angel, desperate for money and a way out of her humdrum life, agreed to play the part. What began as a calculated arrangement soon evolved into something neither of them expected—an intense and forbidden connection. But when Tryson's family uncovers Angel's true motives, they cast her out with venomous disdain. Humiliated and heartbroken, Angel's last hope is confronting Tryson. But instead of an apology or a chance at redemption, she finds herself shattered when he declares that he has chosen his first love, Riley, the woman he was preparing to marry. Devastated and with only her pride left, Angel walks away, determined to rebuild her life alone. Two months later, Angel is lost in the pulse of the music at a dark, crowded bar, seeking refuge in anonymity. A hand seizes her from behind, and her breath catches as she turns to face the man she can't forget—Tryson. His eyes, once cold and calculating, are now stormy with raw emotion, and he pulls her into his orbit, holding out the contract she once signed.  "We haven't finished our work, Angel. The contract says you have a year left to be my fiancée. Don't tell me you're planning on breaching it now." With no choice but to comply, Angel moves back into the house that once rejected her. But to her surprise, the family she once loathed now welcomes her with unexpected warmth and kindness. As she navigates this unsettling shift, Angel is left to wonder—what has changed, and why? What secrets do they hide that could alter everything she thought she knew about Tryson and his family? And as Angel's heart begins to thaw, she's confronted with the hardest question of all: Can she keep the secrets she's hidden from Tryson? And will Tryson fight for her love a second time, despite everything that has come between them?

Jayden, a teenager from America, moves to Mombasa to live with his grandmother and learn about the culture where he was born. Adjusting to life in a new environment, Jayden struggles with routines and expectations. His first day of school sets the stage for a dramatic encounter. After staying up all night playing video games, he wakes up late and rushes to class. On his way, he stumbles upon Ali, a fellow student, being beaten by a group of bullies. Despite being new and knowing no one, Jayden intervenes, showcasing impressive fighting skills as he takes down the attackers. Ali is shocked that someone would help him, especially since most of their schoolmates ostracize him, seeing him as a troublemaker. Jayden, however, recognizes Ali’s situation and offers him advice, urging him not to let himself be a target again. The brief but intense encounter sparks an unexpected connection between the two boys. At school, Jayden is further introduced to his classmates, including Digler, a new transfer student from Nairobi. Digler is bold, charismatic, and unapologetically confident, immediately drawing attention. He takes a seat beside Jayden and strikes up a conversation, showing interest in Jayden’s background and life in America. Digler’s casual charm hides a deeper layer of unpredictability, as he is known to have a reputation for trouble. Throughout the day, Digler’s carefree and rebellious attitude contrasts with Ali’s reserved and cautious nature. While Jayden begins to form a bond with Digler, Ali remains skeptical, warning Jayden to be careful around him. Ali’s wariness stems from his own experiences with people who exude charm but bring chaos. As the three boys navigate the dynamics of their new friendship, the story highlights their individual struggles and personalities. Jayden, still adjusting to his new environment, shows a natural ability to connect with people through his actions rather than words.

Digler, meanwhile, remains an enigma, with his playful demeanor masking the potential for deeper conflicts or alliances. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Mombasa, the story explores themes of identity, trust, and belonging. Each boy brings a unique perspective shaped by their past experiences, and their interactions challenge them to confront their own assumptions and fears. Jayden’s journey from a quiet, isolated individual to someone willing to stand up for others sets the tone for a narrative that promises growth, camaraderie, and unexpected challenges ahead. With Jayden, Ali, and Digler all sharing the same classroom, their intersecting paths hint at a developing story of friendship, rivalry, and the trials of navigating life as teenagers in a culturally rich yet complicated environment.

Haruto Takahashi was just a normal high school student in modern-day Japan—until he suddenly fell into a coma, never to age, never to awaken. His condition was as inexplicable as it was rare, a mystery shared by only a few others in all of human history. But unlike the others, Haruto eventually opens his eyes, nearly a thousand years later, to a world he no longer recognizes. Humanity stands on the edge of extinction. Alien invaders, towering and intelligent, now rule the planet, and the remnants of humankind survive only in scattered, fortified enclaves, fighting desperately against their monstrous conquerors. The Earth has become a battlefield, its skies darkened, its lands ravaged by alien plagues and relentless war. But Haruto’s awakening is no accident. He soon learns that he is the subject of ruthless experimentation, studied by those who seek to uncover the mystery of his unaging body and the secrets he unknowingly harbors. As he grapples with fragments of memories from a world long gone, Haruto is thrust into a brutal struggle, caught between warring factions and ancient mysteries that blur the line between ally and enemy. With nothing but memories of his old life and a newfound world that views him as both weapon and relic, Haruto must discover why he alone was brought back from an endless sleep—and what that might mean for the survival of those who remain. For some mysteries are better left buried, and some fates cannot be escaped.
