In the year 2025, the world changed forever. Without warning, massive sinkholes tore open the earth in the heart of major cities across the globe. From the unfathomable darkness below, nightmarish creatures emerged—zombies, ghouls, twisted abominations of flesh, and horrors beyond human comprehension. They devoured, they infected, they transformed. The streets ran red as civilization crumbled overnight. Governments fell, military forces were overwhelmed, and soon, the world belonged to the monsters. Those who survived the first wave were left with a grim choice: fight, run, or become one of them. As society collapses and humanity teeters on the brink of extinction, scattered survivors must navigate a new world where the laws of nature have been rewritten. But as the sinkholes continue to spread, whispers of something even worse lurking beneath begin to surface. This is not the end of the world. This is the beginning of something new.

When Lu Huang woke up as Lidia—the villainess of a cringe-worthy romance novel—she was determined not to let the story play out like the dumpster fire it was written to be. Nope. Dying at the hands of the Alpha King after being falsely accused, publicly humiliated, and manipulated into madness? Yeah, that’s not on her to-do list. Armed with a sharp tongue that could flay egos, the street smarts of a broke college grad, and the petty audacity of someone with nothing left to lose, Lidia decides she was ripping up the script. Holier-than-thou saintesses? Screw ’em. Self-righteous alphas? They can eat dirt. If this world insists on casting her as the villain, she’s going to own it—on her terms. One chaotic scheme at a time, Lidia’s ready to rewrite her fate—and if she has to break a few rules (and maybe some noses) to do it, so be it. Villainesses don’t play nice, and Lidia is just getting started.

A Tik-Tok style anthology of 100 word stories of fiction, horror and Sci-fi.

In the depths of the human imagination, the unsettling possibility of an omnipotent being capable of forging worlds arises. However, instead of weaving narratives that inspire or uplift the spirit, this entity plunges into the shadows, giving life to realms where evil and lust are the threads that weave its existence. In these dark realms, sins become the very essence of the story, reflecting the deepest and most disturbing inclinations of the human soul. This god, in his sinister work, not only creates, but also steals. The souls of mortals, caught in his web of temptations, are stripped of their essence and used as mere instruments in his theatrical work. Thus, the playwright of the macabre turns humans into puppets, manipulating their destinies in a spectacle of horror and despair. Creation is transformed into a grotesque representation of the human condition, where each act is an echo of the vices that dwell in the heart of humanity.
