Chapter 1The First Day

They called it the "Midnight Flash."

One night, with no warning, the sky ignited in a blinding flash of blue light that lingered far longer than a flash should. For a few seconds, it seemed beautiful. But it was more than just light. It left something behind—an energy, a pulse that surged through cities and towns. Across the planet, disasters erupted like clockwork. Rivers overflowed. Forests burst into flames. Creatures began to emerge from rifts in the earth—beasts unlike anything humans had seen before.

That was when the world ended.

By the time dawn arrived, the Midnight Flash had marked the start of something new—a world no longer ruled by order and reason but by chaos and primal survival.

---

Reya had always been a survivor, but she'd never thought she'd need those skills quite like this.

The night of the Midnight Flash, she'd been in her tiny apartment, watching the city lights from her tenth-floor window. The bright pulse had turned everything electric blue for a moment, making the familiar streets and buildings look alien, otherworldly. Then, hours later, the city descended into screams and confusion.

Now, Reya found herself sneaking through an abandoned grocery store, her heart pounding with each step. She'd managed to grab a few essentials—some canned food, a water bottle, a knife from her kitchen—but she knew it wouldn't be enough. She needed to be faster, to think farther ahead. Survival wasn't guaranteed in this world anymore.

As she moved down the aisles, she spotted a faint glow on the floor near the shelves. The glow seemed out of place in the dim, wrecked store. She stepped closer, her eyes narrowing as she examined it—a small, pulsating light, like a wisp of energy.

Without really thinking, Reya knelt and reached out to touch it.

The second her fingers brushed the light, she felt a rush of cold, and everything around her seemed to dim. Her head spun, and then, like a voice in her mind, she saw words appear, clear and bright.

System Initializing…

Reya blinked in shock, half-convinced she was hallucinating from exhaustion. But the words remained, and before she could pull her hand back, they changed.

Welcome, Survivor.

Her heart pounded as the message lingered, and she could feel a strange buzzing sensation under her skin, like an electric current. The words shifted again.

Quest Initialized: Gather Essentials to Survive. Complete within 24 hours.

Reward: Enhanced Stamina and Minor Healing Ability.

It felt surreal, like something out of a dream. She didn't know if it was real, or if she was finally cracking under the pressure, but she wasn't going to ignore it. She'd never had a guide or a plan before—but now, with the world crumbling around her, maybe this was exactly what she needed.

Without hesitation, she accepted the quest, feeling a warmth bloom in her chest. It was almost comforting, as if the system itself was urging her forward. She tightened her grip on her bag and moved faster, each item she picked up bringing her closer to her goal.

The food, the first-aid kit, the flashlight—each item felt like one small victory, a quiet act of defiance against the chaos outside.

As she grabbed a can of soup from a low shelf, a strange, grating sound echoed through the store, making her freeze. She ducked behind a display, gripping the knife in her pocket as the sound grew closer.

Peering out from her hiding spot, Reya saw it—a figure, gaunt and twisted, with skin stretched taut over jutting bones and empty, sunken eyes. It shuffled through the store, sniffing the air as if it were hunting.

Reya held her breath, forcing herself to stay perfectly still as it moved past her. She waited, heart hammering, until it had disappeared down another aisle. Only then did she exhale, the relief washing over her.

As she finished gathering supplies, a familiar pulse echoed in her mind.

Quest Completed: Gather Essentials to Survive.

Reward Unlocked: Enhanced Stamina and Minor Healing Ability.

The change was subtle but immediate. Her body felt lighter, as if her muscles had been recharged, and a strange warmth pulsed in her chest. She felt alive, stronger than she had in hours.

This was her first quest, her first real step into this new reality. Somehow, she knew she'd need every advantage she could get.

Stolen by the Rebel King

As a princess who could not wield magic, Princess Daphne’s only value to her kingdom was her arranged marriage. The task was simple, but when Daphne was kidnapped and brought to the cold mountains of Vramid, she realized that she was in over her head. She had heard of these cursed mountains before― rocky terrain, freezing temperatures, and the land was ruled by a man feared by many within the continent. King Atticus Heinvres, the blood-thirsty ruler of the North. Even though she had never met him before, tales were spread of King Atticus’s ruthlessness. Some said he was a monster, others claimed he was the devil himself, but whatever the story was, everyone knew of the man who had powers beyond anyone’s imagination. He could topple armies and crumble nations with just one wave of his hand, aided by what others rumored to be a cursed obsidian ring. No one outside of Vramid had ever met the fearsome king before. Not until Daphne. However, upon meeting the formidable man, Daphne found out that the king might not really be the monster others had claimed him to be. In fact, what was hidden under that obsidian shield could just be a diamond in the rough. ― [Excerpt] “Now… where should I put you both?” he asked casually, not expecting a reply. “It’s regretful that I only have one chandelier.” “Underneath my bed? No, no, too dirty. My dust bunnies don’t deserve this,” Atticus mused to himself. “The mantlepiece? How about the vanity table? I suppose if I lop off one of your heads I could mount it over… Wife, which head do you want to stare at while you do your hair?” “Atticus!” Daphne screamed. “I don’t want any heads! Let them go.” “Fair enough.” Atticus shrugged, and flicked his fingers. There were two identical cracks as both necks snapped at once. Daphne gasped, horrified. This man, her husband, had just killed two men with a flick of his finger, as though he was snuffing out candles. “I told you to let them go!” Daphne cried out. “Yes, I let them go,” Atticus said. Then, his eyes darkened. “To receive divine judgment from the heavens.” ― Discord Server: https://discord.gg/7HAMK2bRYU Spin-off/Prequel: The Hidden King's Stolen Wife (WIP)
