[My WSA 2024 Entry novel! Please vote] Sanctuary—a word that conjures visions of peace, protection, and unyielding safety. But what truly defines a place as a sanctuary? Can any refuge withstand the relentless forces of destruction, or does it take something more—a spirit of defiance and hope? For Ruseigner and Mae Yakane, renowned wildlife conservationists and environmentalists, the word became their life's mission. As the march of human progress devoured the natural world, the Yakanes spearheaded a monumental effort to carve out a haven for the threatened wildlife and ecosystems they cherished. With global support, they set out to create a sanctuary—a symbol of hope in a world teetering on the brink of environmental collapse. But fate is a cruel architect. Just as their dream took shape, tragedy struck. Ruseigner and Mae were lost, leaving their vision unfinished. Their son, Froja Yakane, inherited not just their legacy but the weight of their unfulfilled promise. At just 19, Froja’s life was stolen by an assassin’s hand. In his final breath, he vowed to seize any chance at redemption—to be stronger, bolder, and more relentless in pursuing his parents’ dream. And fate, for once, showed mercy. Reborn in a parallel world, Froja becomes Canna—a young man with a second chance to build the sanctuary his parents envisioned. But this world is far from welcoming. As Canna traverses lands filled with strange races and uncharted territories, he faces challenges that test his resolve and his belief in the very concept of sanctuary. Enemies, both seen and unseen, conspire to crush his efforts, but in the darkest of moments, Canna finds allies in the most unexpected places. Through trials of strength, cunning, and heart, Canna learns that a true sanctuary isn’t just a place—it’s a beacon of hope, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a defiance against the forces of chaos. Will Canna succeed in creating the sanctuary his parents dreamed of, or will he be consumed by the perils of this new world? In a tale of courage, transformation, and unwavering determination, Canna’s journey will reveal the true meaning of sanctuary—and the price one must pay to protect it.

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.

Before the world burned, there were three... The King of Slayers The Child of War And The Savior Who Never Was. History called them killers. Tyrants. Monsters. The ones who brought the end. But what if history lied? King of Slayers: “I am Victor Zefar, King of the Slayers. I come to you as judge and executioner. Eleven years ago, I met the woman you called queen. I helped her while knowing why you sent her.” She had been sold to me as a slave, sent as an assassin, but my truth set her free. When she realized I knew her mission, she never begged for herself. No… she begged for you. “She begged me to spare you disgusting savages — traitors — demons in human flesh! How did you repay her? How did you reward her loyalty? Tell me, people of Oma… how did your queen die?” Child of War: “I hid in the den of snakes, awaiting the monster who killed Father. He had waged war on my people and won. He loved to claim all that lived. He especially wanted Mother. Only death freed her from his grasp. Now he was after me. I had one mission: kill the monster, or die trying.” Savior Who Never Was: “I lived among the Immortals for a millennia. I was told tales of humanity’s salvation but watched them destroy each other every century. One tyrant in particular was granted blessing and power from the Heavens themselves. I watched him end a race and walk away with their prince,  a mere child — as his trophy. I dared to defy Paradise to get to Earth. I had to end that tyrant’s reign even if my home and people: Haven and the Immortals, were against interfering. What would happen if I left without their consent? Would they fight me? Could they stop me? Well… only the Spirit behind Adam's eyes knows the truth. Was I ever home, or in prison?”

“What would you do for me, Sir Grimm?” I look over the strapping soldier before me. “You are my queen,” he responds. “I will do anything for you.” A slow smile spreads my lips. “Alright then, take off your armor.” He looks at me with bright blue eyes, like he’s been waiting on this very command a long time coming. The clang of light metal echoes in the room as his chain mail falls away. He stands now in only crimson breeches and battle sandals. His eyes never leave mine for a second. “Divine,” I lift my hand to him, and my fingers settle over his broad chest, tracing a path down the battle scar over his left breast down to abs hard as bricks. My breathing quickens as I feel his heart beat right under my nails. In the former world; the world of Highschool jocks and cheerleaders, and geeks, and weirdos, this utterly beautiful man could never have been mine. I could never have had him. But in this world I do, along with as much men as I could ever want. In this new world, I am Queen and I rule and love unopposed. --- Alessandria Irene Forsythe is transmigrated on the most important day in her highschool social life; Prom Night.

Between fleeting moments of desire, she is torn. The right thing would be to use her power as Regent to restore the world back to its former state—even if she ends up back in highschool with huge glasses and unable to get all the hot guys.
