It was a hot and humid night on the island. Several youngsters were drinking ice water outside a net cafe while complaining. Many others were logged into their game capsules like any other night, escaping into an alternate universe known as virtual reality games.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock... An unknown timer from a distance started its final countdown..... A pitch-black screen appeared above the sky yet it was invisible to the naked eyes of the millions of people below. If they can see it, they would see these words on the screen. Familiar, yet inexplicable in this situation. Command: World Reset. Settings: Completed. Update and restart in 10…9...8...7...6…5...4…3…2…

And then, the clock strikes midnight. The beginning. Loading ...

A gale of wind swept through the island. A storm started brewing in the darkened sky. Lightning flashed and thunder boomed. The night was no longer peaceful. Uneasiness crept into the hearts of those loiterers as the weather took a 180 degree turn for the worst.

In a small studio apartment away from the crowded city district, Ally was watching the abrupt change of the weather outside the windows of her apartment. She had just left her game capsule a while ago. Bzzz! It was pitch black all of a sudden in the city. Something that had not happened before in the last 30 years since the first AI residence was promoted at the island. Then it was followed by an inexplicably foul stench. It was the smell of rancid meat, rotten food, bloody gore... something that will make even the hungriest of men lose his appetite!

Then amidst the chaos, a booming voice could be heard thundering throughout the night into everyone's mind: THE TIME HAS COME, PEOPLE. APOCALYPSE. IF YOU WANT TO LIVE, PICK UP YOUR WEAPON AND FIGHT! IT IS SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST FROM NOW ON! FIGHT, FIGHT AND GROW STRONGER. ONLY THEN, WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO SURVIVE.... AND BE PART OF.... UTOPIA!

As the last of vestiges of that voice disappear from everyone's mind, the pitch-black night was again lighted up. The sudden burst of light momentarily blinded the young girl, causing some disorientation.

She started to look around her. Outside the window, the storm that was brewing was gradually losing its momentum but in reality, that was just the beginning of a new kind of chaos and terror. Ally knitted her eyebrows and called out for her pet cat, H2O. That little fluffy creature had jumped off from her hands the moment the foul stench reached her nose. She could imagine how bad it was for the little mongrel's sensitive nose if even herself retched from catching a whiff of that smell.

As she looked around, she suddenly noticed some changes in her surroundings. She knelt down and picked up a crude wooden sword that was lying on the floor next to her feet. She was sure it wasn't there before. Inspecting the item, she realized that it is something she had seen and used countless times in VRMMO RPGs... She was still processing her thoughts when out of the blue, a loud Bang! followed by a high-pitched scream cut through her thoughts.

Her knitted brows raised higher and unexpectedly, she finds herself almost smiling to an amusing hypothesis that she had formed after analysing the situation. It was laughable, truly. Could something so unimaginable really happen? She took the sword in her hands and rushed to the balcony where the racket was coming from. What she saw confirmed her thoughts.

A rotten corpse attacking her neighbour.... How could she not recognize them? She was just fighting them in the game less than an hour ago! But... HELL must have broken loose. Because...ZOMBIES... had appeared somewhere outside of the virtual universe! Right into the world they are living in!

The Cursed Prince

This book is about baby-making. [COMPLETED on chapter 715] The crown prince was cursed on the day he was born, that he will never be happy. What's worse, no woman could touch him without dying. Thus, finding a wife to produce an heir became the royal family's greatest challenge since the prince is the only son. Until one day.. a servant girl who tried to kill him didn't end up dying after they touched. Emmelyn was a princess from one of their colonies who vowed to avenge her family's death by killing the crown prince. And that's how she ended up in his castle. Seeing that she was the only woman he could have a sexual relationship with, without killing her, the prince made an agreement to let her go and free her kingdom from his oppression if she produced for him three heirs. Emmelyn said yes, but every day that they were together, she made plans to kill him and get her revenge. Can Emmelyn get what she wanted, or would she be entangled deeper with the enemy who was deemed as the devil incarnate himself by his enemies? EXCERPT: "You will be the mother of my children," said the man in a commanding tone. His shameless words rendered Emmelyn speechless and shocked, more so, than the kiss he landed on her lips earlier. "I need three children from you." "Eh ... wait.. what? Hold on a minute," Emmelyn, who was moved from her shock, hurriedly rubbed her lips roughly as if trying to remove the devil's marks from them. "I don't want to be your wife! I don't want to marry you, you devil!!" The man frowned and squinted his eyes menacingly. "Who said anything about marriage?" THE NEXT DAY "Let's go," said the prince. "Let's go where?" Emmelyn asked, not understanding. "Let's go make babies." *** CHECK OUT MY OTHER BOOKS with all doting husbands: - The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate - ONGOING - The Cursed King - COMPLETED - Finding Stardust - COMPLETED - The Alchemists - COMPLETED - The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love - COMPLETED - Till Death Do Us Part - COMPLETED I DON'T DO SLOW BURNS.

The Devil's Betrothed

A love doomed from the start, a lost cause, a losing battle—and yet, neither hearts are willing to let go until the very end. ----- Arlan Cromwell, the epitome of the perfect Crown Prince. All he wants is to live a normal life of a human but the life of a dragon is anything but normal. He has but one goal—to find his runaway betrothed and behead her. What happens when he discovers that the woman who has snagged his heart is the one he vowed to kill? Oriana, a Black Witch, disguising herself as a man, has spent her entire life on the run without knowing what she is running away from. When the mysteries of her past slowly catch up to her, she has no one to turn to…except Arlan. But when she learns that the man she has given her heart to is the same man who wants to kill her, how can she accept the cruel card life dealt her? Two people with secrets to keep, identities to hide, and answers to find. When the certain darkness threatens to take Oriana away, will the Dragon be able to protect his mate? ----- Excerpt- “If I knew you were my betrothed, I would have killed you the very first moment we met." Arlan's gaze darkened with hatred. “If I knew I was betrothed to you, I would have killed myself before you even killed me!” Oriana mirrored the same emotions as him. He pulled out a dagger and offered it to her. “It’s not too late. Just slit your throat with this and you'll bleed out painlessly.” She accepted the knife, her fingers clutching its handle tightly. The next moment, he was pressed against the wall and the knife was on the right side of his neck. “How about I try it on you first, my betrothed?” “Feel free to try. But when you fail, this knife will first taste your grandpa's blood, then yours.” Anger rose in her eyes, and the next moment, blood was flowing through the right side of his neck. She cut deep enough to severe an important blood vessel. “You should not have challenged me,” she sneered and stepped back, waiting for him to collapse. He simply smirked and brushed his finger along the deep wound on his neck. “Seems like you failed.” She watched the wound on his neck heal on its own and felt shocked to her bones. “You.. what are you?” “Guess?” ----- Instagram- mynovel.20 Facebook- Author mynoveltwenty

Allure Of The Night

[Mature Content] The body of a mermaid is a vault of treasures. Their tears formed the most splendid of pearls, their exquisite blood a euphoric drug for vampires, their luscious hair woven into the finest of silk, and their tender meat sought after by werewolves more than Heaven’s ambrosia.

Falling in Love with the King of Beasts

[COMPLETE] Reth stalked towards her, chin low so the shadow cast by his hard jaw cut across the thick fur collar of his vest. His hair had fallen over his eyes in the scuffle, so he peered at her through it like a lion in the grass. With each step, his graceful, rolling gait reminded her of a predator stalking its prey. Despite the forest floor littered in twigs and leaves, he didn’t make a sound. “Wh-who are you?” Elia stammered, backing away, her hands up. He met her step for step until she came up hard against the tree behind her—and didn’t stop until he loomed over her, so broad his shoulders and chest made a wall in front of her. She could feel the heat rising off his skin in the cool, night air. “I am the Leonine King.” His voice was a dark, husky gravel. Behind him a chorus of wheezes, howls, and chirps of agreement rose from the people watching. “And you are?” “Elia,” she breathed. “Elia,” he growled, leaning in closer, bringing with him the scent of pine and rain and the musk of something distinctly male. “I am Reth.” He said the name with a strange, guttural roll in his throat. “I am the King of Beasts. I am Clan Leader, and I am Alpha of WildWood.” Several snarls rose from the crowds behind him then, but he ignored them. Elia swallowed as he leaned in until the scruff on his jaw rasped her cheek. “I am the King,” he said, “And you will be my mate.” The forest behind him erupted. ****** Elia is a poor university student until the night she's taken to the world of the Anima—ruled by humans whose ancient hearts pulse with the blood of animals. There she's forced into a battle to the death. But when Elia survives, and refuses to kill her final opponent, the King must either kill Elia himself, or take her as his mate. Reth, the brutal King of the Beasts with the blood of lions, shocks everyone when he chooses the weak, human Elia to become his Queen. He promises her every comfort of his wealth and position—but he is clear: She will not warm his bed. He chose her to defeat those that were trying to corner him into blending his Leonine line with the Wolves. Elia needs the help of the Anima to become stronger and rule them well. But the vengeful Wolves see only a weak human that brought them shame. As Elia and Reth grow closer, the wolves are determined to destroy her. Will Reth and Elia admit their feelings for each in time to fight for the Kingdom—and their lives—against the villainous wolf-tribe? Or will the wolves kill Elia and steal the throne?
