*** My health has been very poor this year alongside loosing my mother-in-law and cat so I'm sorry but this will be rewritten and finished when I'm well, I'm doing it all offline in my rare creative moments, hopefully with a more mature touch *** [WARNING: Mature Themes (smut, violence, murder, suicide, domestic violence, etc.)] --------- Waking up naked and alone with a murderer, without a single memory, she relies on System to understand her existence in another person's body. --------- Still don't know if you should read me? Here's a quick breakdown to help you make up your mind if this novel is right for you: This is my own twist on the QuickTransmigration System genre, giving it a more 'spiritual' twist. It explores sensitive themes throughout each arc and I will do my best to give trigger warnings at the start of chapters containing them. It is written in the first person and revolves around a female lead (FL). This is a weak-to-strong novel, she will have heavy flaws and make repeated mistakes and seem generally weak at the start, bear with her as she grows. Romance is a heavy theme within the story that contains a lot of smut, with more than one character. However, there is only one male lead in the end. The story is less about fluffy romance, instead, it's a journey of growth and self-discovery, revolving around the main storyline. Although, each Arc will have its own separate storyline that will have an impact on the main storyline with both new and reoccurring characters (so skipping arcs is not advised). I have currently written the rough drafts for four arcs at the point of writing this: 1. Ghosts & Guns 2. How do you keep a child alive in the Zombie Apocalypse? 3. Abducted by Aliens 4. Freed by the Fae Folk 5. .... --------- --------- Cover Art made by myself, using nightcafe AI Art, check out my page, I'm attempting to make novel art and character art for each arc: https://creator.nightcafe.studio/u/Raychbunni

To keep her life afloat, she works part-time at a small coffee shop—and at the Morettis’, a family whose wealth and influence both fascinates and intimidates her. Everything changes the moment she meets Cassian Moretti, heir to the powerful Moretti dynasty. He’s back in town for one reason only: revenge. And in the blink of an eye, Ayla finds herself swept into a storm of emotions she never expected—love, heartbreak, loss, survival… and love again.

When a quiet, dangerous obsession with a Mafia boss starts to feel like love, Ayla Thorne faces a question she never imagined she’d have to answer: does she run from it—or does she finally embrace the darkness pulling her in?

The Isekai genre often highlights the fantastical adventures of male protagonists endowed with superhuman strength and surrounded by adoring companions. However, an alternative narrative focuses on the plight of "strays"—individuals transported from Earth who struggle to survive in a hostile environment where they are regarded as mere commodities, goods, or even trash. This perspective challenges the traditional heroic framework by emphasizing themes of vulnerability, exploitation, and resilience. Unlike the empowered heroes who dominate conventional Isekai tales, these strays navigate a world that is indifferent or outright antagonistic to their existence, thereby offering a critical commentary on issues of marginalization and the human condition. This nuanced portrayal underscores the harsh realities and ethical dilemmas faced by those who find themselves displaced and devalued in an unfamiliar and often unforgiving realm.

Khairul's actions in helping Nasuha spark their relationship. However, when strange particles fall from the sky, their future drastically change as the world faces a new threat.

“So, do you agree to this… Ms. Aliyu?” His tone was smooth, arrogant—like velvet over steel. Aisha’s eyes lifted, steady and unbothered. “…Yeah. But on my terms.” “Terms?” His brow arched, amused… for now. She crossed one leg over the other, deliberate. Dangerous. “First—I'm not your employee. You don't own me.” That wiped the smirk off his face. He leaned in, gaze darkening with curiosity—and something else. She didn’t flinch. Didn’t blink. “And most importantly…” Her voice dropped. Her eyes hardened. “No. Catching. Feelings.” A challenge. A warning. A lie waiting to happen.
