In 2025 Shanghai, Zhao Ming, a 48-year-old clerk, stumbles into a microscopic parallel world during his zodiac year. Amid unknown threats and infection risks, his coke becomes a lifesaving "potion."

"I’ll be gone for almost a year. What kind of woman would wait that long for a man?” Selina went still and said quietly. "A woman who love deeply would wait." A woman like her. She would have waited for Nicki. She had waited, even when he had abandoned her. Damon noticed the shift immediately. His eyes narrowed slightly. Then, slowly—“You. You would wait for him.” Selina looked up. For the first time since they had met, her guard slipped. Her eyes held something raw. A quiet, devastating vulnerability. She didn’t lie. She simply said, "Yes" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Selina found the One. Her soulmate. She fell in love. A love that consumed her… And she lost it in the worst possible way. He left her.

Alexios was once a modern man—until he reincarnated into a fantasy world as the fourth son of a powerful duke. But being fourth in line meant one thing: no inheritance, no title, and no future. To get rid of him, his family married him off to a distant countess's clan. But it didn’t take long for Alexios to turn the tables. His wife, the future Countess, fell madly in love with him—so much so that her obsession bordered on dangerous, like a yandere. And just when he thought life couldn’t get any more interesting… her mother joined in. One day, his mother-in-law approached him and asked, "My son-in-law, impregnate me!" Alexios smirked. Others feared yanderes, but he? “Heh! Everyone is afraid of yanderes, but why? They are fiercely loyal! And their only purpose in life is me!” And so he set out his goal? To turn every woman around him into a yandere, and he's just getting started.  TAGS: Milfs, Yanderes, Elves, Demons, Dragons, No Yuri, No NTR, Threesome

The theme is anti-war, environmental protection, and equality. It is a story about human self-rescue in the "end of the world". It involves extreme speculation about the human brain and dimensions, and tells the story of how humans use progression and regression and multiple dimensions to save themselves.

Everyone hears about the end of the world, there are many theories and speculations about how it will be, the question is: can human beings understand it? Are they capable of assimilating what is coming? Jawara Malenfant, an innovative aerospace engineer, creates a new way for many more people to know outer space and find solutions to global injustices, but he does not imagine that he will need his creation to survive, that a space organization (alien) has planned the destruction of humanity because it has a powerful prejudice against humans and will have the help of other organizations, some that come from another part of the universe, nor will he imagine that no matter how hard we try to stop a destruction, no matter how many advances science and technology have, no human being is prepared for what is to come.

Even the strongest of the alloys would have degraded on his mere sinister glance, carving a path for him to walk free. Yet here he was-- a wandering predator in the light of the day. He soon qualified for bondage by special means. A system created to conscript the prodigies of wickedness, took notice of him. No matter how unwilling, he was under those watchful eyes. But the truth was, he was still above their rules, untamed and unbroken. He began hunting those within the system itself. He became something greater- a favoured entity, a popular character among many. A gap was then created even among those in the system, forging a competitive spirit. But should they dare to risk it all, no matter how fascinating he seemed? None survived to provide feedback on their experience yet the boss let it slide-- for now. This man was indeed special, the boss personally checked him and speculated that there must be a rolling key. Patience might be the only thing that saves you, dear reader......because once you step into his world, escape is no longer an option. * WARNING: GORE content, SLOW BURN ROMANCE.
