Last Chance Saloon

"Second Chance at Genesis" Lina Yates, a former mercenary turned survivor, is given an impossible second chance when she wakes up five years before the apocalypse that destroyed humanity. Having sacrificed her life to stop a world-ending outbreak, Lina now finds herself back in the heart of the corporate world, with one goal in mind: prevent the global catastrophe before it’s too late. Her path collides with Alexander Reid, the enigmatic and ruthless CEO of a global tech empire. His company secretly funds unethical experiments that lead to the creation of mutated creatures, triggering the outbreak that ravaged humanity. The only problem? Lina knows the future, but Alexander does not. And every time she comes close to uncovering his dark secrets, Alexander seems one step ahead, playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse. As Lina infiltrates his empire under the guise of a personal assistant, the stakes rise. She must navigate the tangled web of corporate politics, betrayal, and a growing attraction to the man she swore to expose. But as Lina digs deeper, she uncovers more than just sinister plans—she finds herself entangled in a slow-burn romance with Alexander, a man with his own secrets and a mysterious past. The clock is ticking. Can Lina stop the apocalypse, expose Alexander’s hidden truth, and save humanity—while keeping her heart intact? Or will their forbidden attraction push them both toward an inevitable, destructive end?

After the judgment, the ire of God was revealed with the words: "Be cast unto eternal damnation!" And so it was that humans and jinns alike found themselves scattered across the Nine Circles of Hell, left to burn and suffer for eternity. Until after an untold number of eternities, an angelic voice called out, announcing God's decree: "One soul shall earn the chance to return to grace." Humans and jinns found a shimmering screen appear before their eyes, tallying their sins and something called 'Fragments of Divinity'. "Cleanse away your sins," said the voice. "Do what must be done!" Now, a human known as Wretched Nameless One—the only human found in the Ninth Circle—sets out on a journey to claim his spot in Heaven, tasked with fighting hellish monsters and devilish hell-dwellers competing to return to grace. Will he escape eternal torment and rise to grace or return to the everlasting cleansing fire once more?

For a thousand years, the monstrous Alzarel has remained imprisoned, defeated by three legendary sorcerers and locked away in a cage reinforced by twelve mystical seals. Over centuries, these seals scattered across the world, hidden in ancient ruins, forgotten tombs, and even human vessels. Now, a fanatical group known as the Vortex Order has made it their mission to destroy the seals and release Alzarel, believing his return will bring them ultimate power. The Crimson Vanguard, a renowned order of warriors, has trained tirelessly to oppose them, waging a secret war to protect humanity from the shadows. But the balance shifts when eleven of the seals are destroyed, and the twelfth is revealed to reside within a seemingly ordinary 16-year-old boy. Hunted by the Oblivion Cult and barely protected by the Crimson Vanguard, he must navigate a world of hidden dangers, unraveling secrets about his destiny and the dark power he harbors. As the seals' destruction nears completion, the boy faces a harrowing choice: will he sacrifice himself to keep Alzarel imprisoned, or risk unleashing an ancient evil that could end the world?

"People always told me life was about second chances, but no one ever said they’d come in the form of a wedding gone wrong. I promised my father I’d be strong, but when my best friend betrayed me and my fiancé humiliated me on what was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, I broke. I died… and woke up at the very moment everything fell apart. This time, I won’t let them ruin me. When Jaewon, my cheating fiancé, tried to drag me back into his web of lies, I made a choice that shocked everyone: I proposed to his older brother, Heeseung. The cold, enigmatic CEO who had always seemed untouchable, and the man I’d underestimated for far too long. Marrying Heeseung wasn’t just a spur-of-the-moment decision. It was my way of rewriting my destiny and taking control of a life that had spiraled out of my hands. What I didn’t expect was the way he looked at me—as if I was more than just a pawn in this game of revenge and redemption. As if I mattered. Now, I’m navigating a world of power, betrayal, and unspoken feelings. But one thing is clear: I’m no longer the Yuna who was crushed under the weight of heartbreak and deceit. I’m stronger, smarter, and ready to fight for the life I deserve. And if anyone—especially Jaewon—thinks they can stop me, they’re about to learn just how wrong they are. This is my second chance, and this time, I’ll make every move count."
