Reborn To Build The Doomsday Fortress

Introduction
But behind his wife's sweet smile lay a betrayal carefully orchestrated with his cousin and his aunt to seize the entire Sterling family inheritance.
When a zombie apocalypse devastated the world, Revan still risked his life to protect them. He hunted meteorite cores, fought through hordes of monsters, and carved out a path to survival for the people he trusted most.
In the end, the only reward he received was having everything taken from him before being shoved into a sea of zombies to die a gruesome death.
Just before he died, he learned that his parents' deaths had never been an accident.
When he opened his eyes again, Revan found himself thirty days before the apocalypse, standing in a luxury boutique while choosing a suit, just before the transfer of his family's shares.
This time, he would never be deceived by love or blinded by family ties again. He called off the wedding, trapped the traitors until they lost everything, reunited with the people who had truly remained loyal to him, and spent every last dollar of his fortune building a fortress and stockpiling supplies before the world descended into hell.
While everyone laughed at him and called him insane, only Revan knew that in thirty days, money would become worthless. The only things that would determine who lived and who died were preparation, courage, and strength.
In his second life, Revan swore to avenge every betrayal and build the strongest fortress at the end of the world.
Chapter 1
"If there truly is a second life... I swear I'll send all of you to hell with my own hands."
Blood trickled from the corner of Revan Sterling's mouth, soaking into the ground littered with corpses and foul-smelling black sludge. His breathing grew weaker with every passing second. Each breath felt like a blade carving through his lungs.
Ahead of him, an endless tide of zombies crept closer.
From the top of the watchtower where they stood, the living dead looked like a black ocean swallowing the entire city. Their relentless roars echoed through the air, filling the world with the stench of blood and death.
Yet colder than the monsters' lifeless eyes were the gazes of the two people he had trusted most.
The woman who had become his wife only a few weeks ago.
And the cousin he had always loved like a brother.
The woman rested her head against the man's shoulder and smiled as though savoring her victory. "Thank you for surviving this long," she said softly. "Without you, we never could have collected so many meteorite cores."
His cousin let out a mocking laugh. "Besides, an idiot like you was perfect as our shield."
Revan felt as though his heart had been crushed.
So that was the truth.
Every sacrifice he had made had only been used against him. Every wound he had suffered, every brush with death while protecting them, had all been part of their plan to kill him.
"Do you remember the Sterling family company?"
Revan struggled to lift his head. "What do you mean?"
"Your aunt planned everything from the very beginning." Her smile widened. "Your parents' car crash... wasn't an accident."
Revan's eyes flew open. His entire body trembled. "No... That's impossible."
"Unfortunately, you found out too late."
Bang!
A vicious kick slammed into Revan's chest. His body was hurled off the top of the tower. The wind lashed across his face as he plummeted toward the sea of zombies below, their rotting arms reaching skyward as if welcoming the day's final prey.
Above him, Billy wrapped an arm around Teressa's waist as they watched with satisfied smiles.
Revan's body crashed into the ground, landing directly in the middle of the horde.
Raaaargh!
Dozens of rotten hands seized him instantly. Razor-sharp teeth tore into his shoulder, arms, neck, and back without mercy.
"Aaaargh!"
Revan wanted to fight. He wanted to stand. He wanted to kill those two traitors with his own hands. But his body no longer had the strength.
As the unbearable agony consumed him, his vision slowly blurred. The last thing he saw was Billy and Teressa still standing atop the tower, laughing as they watched him die.
Tears mixed with blood streamed down his face.
He regretted trusting the wrong woman.
He regretted driving away the people who had truly been loyal to him.
But the greatest regret of his life was never avenging his parents' deaths.
"If there truly is a second life..." His eyes burned with hatred. "I swear I'll send all of you to hell with my own hands."
Darkness.
Everything faded into darkness.
"Mr. Sterling?"
A gentle woman's voice drifted toward him from somewhere far away, as if it belonged to another world.
Revan frowned. His body still ached. He could still feel the sensation of zombie fangs tearing through his flesh.
"Sir, does the suit need any more adjustments?"
His eyes snapped open, beads of sweat sliding down his temples.
Zombies.
Where were the zombies?
He looked around frantically, his breathing ragged as both hands searched his neck, chest, and shoulders.
There were no wounds. No blood. Even the agonizing pain that had felt so real moments ago was beginning to disappear.
"Sir?"
A boutique employee looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Are you alright?"
Revan slowly raised his head and stared at his reflection in the full-length mirror.
He touched his face, smooth and free of scars, then lowered his gaze to his hands, studying them for a long moment.
"Impossible. Wasn't I already torn apart by zombies?"
The employee stared at him in confusion.
"Sir... are you feeling sick?"
Revan ignored the question. He hurriedly reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone.
The screen displayed the date.
July 15, 2035.
That meant it was thirty days before the apocalypse began.
His entire body went rigid. His heart pounded violently against his ribs.
"I..." He stared at his reflection again, his breathing becoming more uneven. "I was reborn?"
He looked around the room in disbelief.
The crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
The rows of expensive suits neatly displayed.
The crimson carpet stretching across the floor.
Everything was painfully familiar.
This was the luxury boutique where he and his fiancée had come to be fitted for their wedding.
The day he had once believed marked the beginning of his happiness.
Now it felt like the cruelest joke imaginable.
Revan took a deep breath and walked out of the men's fitting room, ignoring the employees calling after him.
"Mr. Sterling, where are you going?"
The staff members who saw him immediately bowed.
"Mr. Revan, does the suit fit properly?" the manager asked as he waited outside the fitting room.
Revan didn't answer. His gaze swept across the entire boutique. His memories slowly returned.
Today, his fiancée was also trying on her wedding dress in the women's fitting room.
Without another thought, he turned and strode toward the hallway on the opposite side of the boutique.
The closer he got, the clearer the sounds became from behind the fitting room door.
A soft moan made him stop in his tracks.
His body froze, but for an entirely different reason.
Impossible.
He knew that voice all too well.
It belonged to the woman he had loved with all his heart.
Revan's breathing grew heavy. Slowly, he approached the door, noticing it hadn't been fully closed.
Through the narrow opening, his eyes froze.
The woman in the white wedding gown, the one who was supposed to become his wife in just a few days, was wrapped tightly in another man's arms.
Their lips were locked together without the slightest shame. The man's hand rested around her slender waist while she smiled sweetly, savoring every second.
The man was no stranger.
He was Revan's own cousin, the very person who had introduced him to the woman in the first place.
"The share transfer letter will be signed soon."
Billy laughed. "Once that happens, the entire Sterling Group will officially belong to our family."
Teressa smiled. "Revan still thinks I truly love him."
Revan's fingers slowly curled into fists. The veins on the backs of his hands bulged as his gaze turned as cold as ice.
The fury that had consumed him in his previous life ignited once again.
After a few seconds, he slowly unclenched his fists.
A faint smile curved across his lips. There wasn't the slightest trace of warmth in it.
"You want Sterling Group?" His eyes turned glacial. "Go ahead... if you're actually capable of taking it."

CHASING GHOSTS
Ex-Wife, Current Wife
For three years, she lived in the shadow of a loveless marriage. She was the woman everyone loved to hate, the one who supposedly "stole" him from his first love. She endured his cold indifference, raised their son—who struggles with a speech impediment—in silence, and traded her own brilliant career for the thankless role of a trophy wife.
But when his long-lost love returns, she is unceremoniously pushed aside to make room for the "real" family.
Enough was enough.
After he publicly humiliates her and chooses the mistress’s daughter over his own son during a birthday party, something inside her finally snaps. She doesn't just want out of the marriage; she wants her life back. With a secret talent for design and a newfound resolve, she walks away from the gilded cage of his estate.
But as she rises from the ashes of her failed marriage to reclaim her status as a top-tier designer, he realizes the woman he treated as a disposable pawn was the only one who truly held his world together.
Now, the woman who once begged for his attention is no longer looking back. Will he be able to earn her forgiveness, or is he finally too late?
Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
Bloodright
Ashveil University is not what it looks like in the photographs. The students here carry something that shifts their eyes at the edges of anger. The northwest trees hold an attention that trees should not be able to hold. And the empty chair at the council table, the one nobody sits in, the one nobody explains, has been waiting three hundred years for one specific person to arrive.
Nobody told Adaline she was that person. They classified her as Dormant. A blank space in a file. Nothing.
She is the opposite of nothing.
Beneath the campus, three ancient entities are waking up. Every house in the pack world wants to control what runs in her blood. The boy sent to assess her has stopped being able to do his job. And the woman who has been three steps ahead of everyone since before Adaline was born is not a villain. She is a warning. She is what Adaline would have become if nobody had found her.
The suppression field holding everything together is failing. The clock is running. And the only way to stop what is coming requires Adaline to give up the thing she can least afford to lose.
She already knows her answer. She decided before anyone told her the full price.
The Billionaire's Surrogate's Secret
“Who said that’s still fucking true? We stopped being just man and surrogate the first time our eyes met.” He walked towards me, boring into my eyes with those eyes of his. “I fucking want you, Vanessa.”
My heart stuttered.
This could not be real.
“But the rules—“
“I made them. I can destroy them. I already destroyed them when I kissed you.” He was dangerously close now, but all I kept getting was danger signals combined with the panic, alarm, lust and above all, the guilt.
It was killing me.
Vanessa Sterling who never liked men because of what her father did to her mother ended up having a drunken one night stand with a stranger and that might end up changing her life forever.

Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.
Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
Was he about to kiss me?
Lilly’s life was never easy; she lost her memory and family in a blazing fire. Angelica found and took her in—only to make her a slave to the household.
Years of torment and abuse left Lilly weak, vulnerable, and believing she was without a wolf, but that didn't mean that all hope was lost.
At night, in her dreams, he would patiently wait for her—the man who brought sunshine into her darkest moments.
They would dance the night away, but as dawn approached, he would vanish into the morning sun.
Lilly had given up hope of finding a mate, having a family, and leading a normal life.
But things are about to drastically change for her...
Secrets, lies, betrayal... and a baby on the way.
What if Lilly wasn't wolf-less? What if it was all a lie?
What if she had a living family? Would she stay and bond with them or make a run for freedom?
Mission: Steal the Male Lead
But the more Morwenna changes the story, the stranger the world becomes. The heroine seems to know the future, unseen spectators begin commenting on her life, and the gods watching from above grow obsessed with the drama unfolding before them. Trapped in a story where fate has already decided the ending, Morwenna must choose whether to follow the script or rewrite it entirely. But if the world itself was never meant to belong to its characters, can she steal the male lead before fate steals her freedom first?
The MC Hacker’s Stolen Princess
She did not come to find out her father had promised her to another man.
As the only daughter of Shane “Rook” Rourke, president of the Lost Coast Renegades MC, Taryn has always known club business comes first. But when Rook signs a treaty with the dangerous president of Iron Mesa, he crosses a line even she never imagined.
Safe passage through Arizona territory comes with a price.
Her.
Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.
Taryn wants no part of him, no part of the agreement, and definitely no part of a future chosen for her by two men who think a signature is enough to decide where she belongs.
Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.
Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.
It is an insult.
A betrayal.
And in the MC world, it can mean war.
Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.
The Lycan Kings and the White Wolf.
