Zusammenfassung

In a world ravaged by demons, Riley and Cass find themselves as the last two survivors of a catastrophic event unleashed by a corrupt government. Each girl embodies a different kind of strength, yet their paths collide under the weight of mutual distrust and their desperate circumstances. After a chance encounter at an abandoned survivor's camp, they reluctantly decide to stick together for survival. As they navigate a landscape filled with danger, they discover the depth of their isolation and the haunting secrets behind the demon invasion. Their journey takes them to an eerie mall, where Riley's curiosity about the demons leads her to unsettling revelations about their behaviors and the nature of their existence. When their sanctuary in a suburban home is threatened, they must flee, deepening the tension between them. Forced to confront their pasts and the demons that haunt them—both literal and metaphorical—they uncover a twisted narrative of betrayal and survival that binds them together. As they traverse this bleak new reality, Riley and Cass begin to learn the value of trust and companionship. They must confront not only the demons outside but also their own inner turmoil, discovering that the fight for survival is not just about evading monsters, but also about finding light in the darkest of times. In a world stripped of hope, can they forge a new future together, or will their differences tear them apart? Ashes Of Eden is a gripping tale of survival, resilience, and the unexpected bonds that can form even in the face of unspeakable horror.

Chapter 1Prologue

The world used to hum. A quiet rhythm, always there, in the background, comforting in its constancy. People filled it with their trivialities, noise and laughter, heartbreak and joy. Cities teemed with life; streets were alive with the scent of food, the buzz of conversation, the chaos of day-to-day existence. Now, silence had settled in like a heavy fog. When the sky first cracked open and the beasts poured out, no one believed it. Not at first. Demons, creatures born of nightmare and shadow, walking freely among us? It sounded like a bad movie or the kind of conspiracy theory people laughed at on the internet. But then came the screams—sharp, blood-curdling—the endless dark. And suddenly, the monsters were real. 

They had come from nowhere and everywhere all at once, slipping through the fissures in reality that had somehow—impossibly—split wide open. Some said it was Satan himself who had come to claim the Earth. Others said the world had been rotting for centuries, and this was simply the natural order taking hold.

Riley had always imagined the end of the world would be more... poetic, more cinematic, maybe. Not this. Not this slow unraveling of everything they knew. They'd spent their days in a city that never slept, managing to carve out a life amidst the chaos. Their mornings were routine: coffee strong enough to melt metal, a quick scroll through social media feeds they didn't even care about, and then a long day working a dead-end job they barely tolerated. Nights were spent with friends—bars, clubs, anywhere they could drown out the monotony with lights, noise, and fleeting connections. Life had been empty, sure, but at least it had been something.

Now, all of that is gone. Now, there was just survival.

And Cass? Cass had always lived by her own rules. She didn't need the world, not the way everyone else did. She'd lived off the grid in her small cabin, miles away from civilization, the hum of technology, the noise of people. She'd thought herself lucky when the chaos began, far enough away to be spared the immediate destruction. But when the sky burned red and the earth trembled beneath her feet, she knew isolation wouldn't save her. Not this time. She had always prided herself on self-reliance, but even she couldn't fight demons alone. They had each been wandering, scavenging for supplies,

weapons, anything, when they crossed paths. Not that it mattered. Neither had been looking for company, especially not the kind they didn't get along with. Riley had been brash, sarcastic, and cynical—too much for Cass, who valued quiet resilience and practicality. The tension had sparked almost immediately, both were wary of trusting anyone else in a world that had collapsed into madness.

Still, they kept running into each other, kept sharing this hollowed-out earth, both too stubborn to leave the other alone and too angry to admit they needed one another. In a world where hell had broken loose, where the bodies of the fallen littered the streets, it was ironic how they—two people who barely tolerated each other—had survived. The last two, maybe. Alone, but never more together. The world had become a wasteland, overrun by shadows and fire, but they kept moving.

 And as much as they hated to admit it, the only thing more terrifying than the demons that had torn the world apart was the thought of facing this new reality alone.

Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)

[CRIME/OMEGAVERSE] Was it possible for the devil to get his own happy ending? A major accident seven years ago had stolen He Juan’s memory away from him, wiping it so clean that the only things he were left with were only his name, numerous scars all over his body and a nasty side effect as a result of the aftermath. Seven years passed by and when He Juan thought he could live like a normal person again, a fateful day led him to be the prime suspect of the murder case of his neighbor who had written his name as her dying message — whom, in his defense, he had not even talked to! It was then that he met Mu Yuze, the lone wolf of the Violent Crime Investigation Unit; the cold, intimidating man with beautiful and intense midnight blue eyes who seemed to hate him at first sight for some reason He Juan couldn’t comprehend. One after another, bizarre cases intruded on He Juan's normal life and turned it upside down, bringing light to a dusty past he thought he could never remember again. In the end, he had to learn that even if he had forgotten who he once was… there were still some sins he had to atone. *** Gentle, klutzy and smiling Alpha whom nobody dares to offend for some mysterious reason x cold, possessive and cinnamon roll Omega (maybe a little yandere here and there) Additional tags: top/gong/seme protagonist, action, case-solving, organized crime, thriller, gore, slice of life, tragedy, detectives, disabled characters, murders, teamwork, investigation, yaoi, mature, past plays a big part, 1 vs 1, love interest falls in love first Find me on: Instagram: delanasiwarka Discord: delanasiwarka#1490 Discord server: bit.ly/delanadiscord

The Ogre Strength Fairy and the Eldest 'Son'

~Updates Daily~ (usually near 8PM ET / 1AM GMT) Other Tags: #GL #Slice of Life #Comedy #TheStrongActingWeak #ChildhoodSweethearts (It counts!) Single love interest Yuri! No lengthy misunderstandings over this fact~ --- After failing to ascend to the heights of Divinity despite all her preparations, an ancient cultivator finds herself not embracing the emptiness of the void - but the interior warmth of a womb. Her memories intact despite her spirit being a merest fraction of her height - and her trusted Astralism unchanged - she carefully starts over from an infant. How to navigate her family: [really easy with only two parents and an estate full of servants!] How to portray herself: [everyone likes 'sweet' kids and trusts (underestimates) 'weak' girls!] How 'quickly' to reveal the power she gathers: [this region is a 'backwater', let's just take it slow~] How her marriage was arranged before birth: [my parents adore me so at an appropriate time I'll just have it cance- oh?] Dealing with an 'amusing' deceit: ['he' looks worried still, but 'he' doesn't have to worry from me!] Confronting the 'boy' in private: [whatever their iffy plan is, I just obtained a husband-wife~] Even in a new life, | Elua er Goltbred | can't and doesn't *want* to change who she really is. A scheming cultivator. A possessive lover. Neither of those things had been a real hindrance to the Peak of Demi-God. Balancing the two in this life - without driving away the young 'boy' she decided would be hers - centers as much around helping | Qatrand er Yecine | find herself... as it is hoping to ease the fiance into how messed up the 'younger' girl honestly is. It's a good thing that the reborn cultivator can improvise with her ridiculous control of an Illusion Astralism - because plans fail and unexpected things happen when you're not *really* a genius. Like her Physique in this life allowing the lightest 'grip' to crack stone... | Qat | (the nickname picked almost instantly!) despite being a little stunted by her family environment early on, finds her future wife to be 'cute' on their first meeting. ... she really shouldn't have let on. It made her | El | kind of vain. Oh, and muscles. | Elua | : I just like looking at them, okay!? Is it so weird? People can have hobbies... - - - > Types of Cultivation // Spiritual (Soul), Physical (Body), Essence (Qi) > Aspect Trinity // Astralism, Physique, Element 'Ranks' Initial - Early, Mid, Late Lower Realms // Enchanter, Primalist, Breacher Upper Realms // Defier, Demi-god, Divinity - Echelons (First -> Seventh[Peak]) - - - Cover Art: AI Text Prompt Generation + title (etc.) added with an image editor. I also tend to do other 'fixes' in post! Potential trigger warnings: > A FL that may seem (to some) like they are being groomed due to 'true age' difference. > A MC that gets a little 'thirsty' a little 'young' but tries to 'keep her own pants on' until the proper age. > A toxic family environment willing to force an unloved child into the role of a crossdresser. A child that grew more than okay with it. > 'Pretty Good Dad' intentionally 'picked on' by his 'sweet daughter' for being a relatively 'minor obstacle'. Seriously, you were warned, average fathers with teenagers. Do not engage your trauma.
