safe houses novel

The beginning of the apocalypse brought chaos and disaster to humanity. It tore away the mask of society and revealed the cruelty hiding beneath. Ivy Ravencroft experienced it all firsthand. Her family was unfair and cruel, and they abused her so badly that she went blind. Her lover died trying to protect her, and she spent the next five years struggling to survive, until she finally died in the apocalypse. But then, Ivy woke up again, reborn in the first year of the apocalypse. At first, she felt hopeless. If only she had returned to a time before the apocalypse, she could have gathered food, weapons, and supplies to survive better. Still, she was grateful for one thing: she had kept her special ability, the power to create safe zones. This time, Ivy made a promise. She would protect her lover, find her real family, and take revenge on everyone who had hurt her. .................................. "Huh? Why is there a bento box lying here?" Ivy asked, confused. "What bento? Are you trying to trick me again?" Silas asked, sadness in his eyes. "This one!" Ivy said, holding up the packaged meal and waving it at him. "What the... where did that come from?" Silas stared at it in shock. Ivy’s eyes widened. She realized something, only she could see these items, and when she picked them up, they became real. "Can… I buy it from you?" Silas asked, unsure. "Of course. But I won't give it to you for free." Ivy smiled like a fox. Silas closed his eyes; he was ready for her to demand something sky-high and said, "Okay. Tell me how many gold bars you want." Ivy smiled and teased, "I don't want gold bars; they are way too cheap. I want one kiss." Silas: Blushing hard. His subordinates: "..." This wave of dog food was too unexpected! ....................................................... With the supplies, picking a superpower and a safe zone superpower, Ivy built her own residential area. She gained Kindness Energy and multiplied supplies with the help of Temporal Storage. While other bases struggled to make a simple house, she used her golden finger to make luxurious buildings and rent them out, becoming the big shot in the apocalypse.

After transmigrating into a book he had just finished reading, Eric found himself cast as the villainous cannon fodder. The original owner of the body was secretly and wholeheartedly in love with Max, the tribe's strongest warrior, but Max and Michael had grown up together and gradually developed feelings for each other. The original owner tried every means to obstruct them, was eventually exiled by the tribe, and died a miserable death from hunger and cold that winter. Many races existed on this continent, and he was not even human. Eric looked at the piece of grilled meat before him, burnt black as charcoal, and a handful of beans so hard they felt like they could chip his teeth. He looked up at the thatched roof that leaked rain in the summer and let snow through in the winter. Behind him, a small lion cub was wailing for food. Oh, and this little lion cub was also the story's devoted second male lead. The first step was to improve his life. What, the beastmen do not know how to farm? No problem, they can learn. Then they would not have to starve during the winter. Thatched huts, mud houses, and tents could all be replaced! The arrogant Elf race had a strong affinity for plants, which was perfect for farming, and the Dragon race could breathe fire, which was perfect for firing bricks! Humans called the Fantasy Dream Continent a cursed land. Later, a wandering poet would tell tales of the Snow Wolf Tribe who lived there, possessing all sorts of delicacies and fine, home-brewed wine whose aroma could travel for ten miles, leaving a rich aftertaste. Once the rumor spread, countless adventuring parties and mercenaries felt compelled to explore the land, even at the risk of being beaten half to death. Eric utilized the advantages of his bloodline, diligently farming and building infrastructure, leading the tribe toward a better life. It was just that one day he would pick up a prince of the Human race, and the next, a prince of the Elf race. With a prince of the Beastman Kingdom already in his house, Eric was at his wit's end. Perhaps I should just build a nation for all of you! And another thing, you, the main male lead, stop hovering around me! ... Auther: Please forgive my mistakes, as English is not my first language. I appreciate your understanding!

Rewritten to The Hunted Regressor: My Heretic Saint System, my new book!

She died once at the end of the world. This time, she'll own it before it even begins. Evelyn Shen has lived through hell twice. In her first life, she survived eight brutal years of the apocalypse—building a sanctuary from nothing, leading hundreds through starvation and endless waves of the undead, only to be betrayed by the people she loved most. Her husband sold her out. Her cousin orchestrated her death. And as a Zombie Lord tore through her walls, Evelyn made one final, impossible choice: she activated a forbidden System protocol and rewound time itself. Now, she's back. Seventy-three days before the Descent Mist—the mysterious global phenomenon that will shatter civilization, awaken terrifying powers in humanity, and birth legions of the undead—Evelyn opens her eyes in her old apartment, surrounded by a family that has no idea what's coming. But she does. She remembers every mutation. Every betrayal. Every mile of scorched earth. And this time, she won't wait for the world to burn. Armed with fragmented memories, a multi-dimensional Survival System that offers quests, growth mechanics, and access to other worlds, and the cold determination of someone who's already lost everything, Evelyn begins her preparation in secret. She buys remote land in the countryside. She stockpiles resources. She reaches out to the allies—and rivals—she once knew, planting seeds of influence before the chaos begins. She will build Last Light Valley, a fortress in the wilderness where her family and chosen few can survive what's coming. She will awaken her powers early: Plant Manipulation to grow food in poisoned soil, Spatial Compression to store the unstoppable, and Temporal Echo to see death before it strikes. And when the Mist finally descends, she will not be a victim scrambling for safety. She will be a queen ready to rule the ashes. But the apocalypse is not a script to be rewritten so easily. Her cousin Claire—ambitious, charming, and ruthless—awakens a terrifying ability to siphon energy from the living and the dead, building her own empire in the ruins of the city. The Zombie Lords, intelligent undead with powers that rival gods, are evolving faster than before. And her husband Alex, the man who once betrayed her, is still the man she loves—for now. Evelyn must navigate impossible choices: Who to save, and who to leave behind. How much of her future knowledge to reveal without sounding insane. Whether the System guiding her is salvation—or something far more dangerous. And whether she can prevent the betrayals of her first life, or if tragedy is woven into the people she loves. As she builds her base, recruits specialists, trades with other apocalyptic worlds through the System's Multiverse Module, and trains her children to survive in a world gone feral, one truth becomes clear: The apocalypse is inevitable. But who rules it is not. Evelyn Shen died a victim once. This time, she will be the architect of humanity's last hope—or its most dangerous warlord. Because in a world where the dead rise and the Mist rewrites the rules of reality, the only way to protect the ones you love is to make sure no one—living, dead, or worse—ever dares to take them from you again.
