Introduction
Humanity had exactly one minute to prepare for the apocalypse.
At 2:13 AM, the world changed.
Cities vanished beneath colossal underground Floors ruled by a godlike System that transformed survival into a brutal game of levels, classes, monsters, and death.
Most people received powerful combat classes.
Riven Bourne received Archivist , a class so weak that surviving the first day should have been impossible.
But riven notices things others cannot.
Hidden flaws. Broken mechanics. Lies buried inside the System itself.
While stronger players chase levels and glory, riven survives through strategy, exploiting invisible rules to overcome enemies far beyond his strength. As humanity descends deeper into the Floors, he begins uncovering a terrifying truth:
The System was never designed to save humanity.
It was designed to test it.
Amid collapsing civilizations, deadly guild wars, and cosmic conspiracies, riven forms an uneasy bond with seraphine noct ,a mysterious girl feared for her death-based powers and haunted by the souls she can hear singing in the dark.
Their relationship begins as survival.
It becomes something far more dangerous.
As the Floors evolve from underground dungeons into entire worlds at war, riven must choose what kind of man he will become: a savior, a monster, or the first human capable of breaking the System completely.
Because the deeper humanity climbs…
…the clearer the truth becomes.
The last Floor isn’t the end.
Chapter 1
Rain hammered the warehouse roof like artillery fire.
The sound never stopped.
Metal groaned overhead while cold air drifted through the endless rows of steel shelves packed with crates, plastic wrap, and rusted machinery parts no one cared enough to label correctly.
At the center of Aisle Fourteen, Riven Bourne shoved another heavy box onto a pallet and wiped sweat from the side of his neck with the sleeve of his hoodie.
The barcode scanner in his hand beeped.
2:07 AM.
Six more pallets left.
“Bourne!”
Riven didn’t look up immediately.
He scanned another crate first.
Beep.
Then he turned.
His supervisor waddled toward him clutching a clipboard tightly against his chest.
“Planning to move faster tonight or should I put you on retirement benefits already?”
Riven returned to stacking boxes.
“Working.”
The supervisor sighed dramatically.
“You know, normal people answer with full sentences.”
Riven shrugged.
Talking had never fixed anything before.
The older man muttered something under his breath and walked away.
The warehouse returned to its normal rhythm: forklifts humming, workers complaining, rain slamming against metal roofing, machines buzzing endlessly beneath flickering fluorescent lights.
Another box.
Another scan.
Another hour surviving a job nobody wanted.
Riven adjusted the sleeve covering the faded scar across his wrist and reached for another crate
The scanner glitched.
Static flashed across the screen.
His hand froze.
For half a second, strange red symbols flickered across the device.
Then the screen returned to normal.
Riven frowned.
Probably damaged circuitry.
Still…
something felt wrong.
Not emotionally.
Physically.
Like pressure building before a storm.
A loud crack of thunder shook the building hard enough to rattle the shelves.
Several workers cursed nearby.
The lights flickered once.
Twice.
Then everything went black.
The warehouse fell silent.
No machines.
No forklifts.
No humming electricity.
Just darkness.
A nervous laugh echoed somewhere across the floor.
“Power outage again?”
Another voice answered, “Backup generator should’ve kicked in by now”
A scream cut through the warehouse.
Sharp.
Sudden.
Terrified.
Riven turned instantly toward the sound.
Emergency lights exploded alive overhead in deep crimson flashes.
The warehouse looked soaked in blood.
People shouted everywhere at once.
“My phone stopped working!”
“What happened to the doors?!”
“Why are they locked?!”
Riven moved toward the nearest exit immediately.
The electronic lock beside the emergency door blinked red.
ACCESS DENIED.
He pulled the handle hard.
Nothing.
A deep metallic groan echoed beneath the floor.
Riven stepped backward slowly.
The concrete trembled.
Then split apart.
A massive crack ripped through the center of the warehouse floor like reality itself had been torn open.
Workers screamed and stumbled backward as darkness spread beneath them.
Not a hole.
An abyss.
Bottomless.
Cold air poured upward carrying the smell of wet earth and decay.
One worker slipped near the edge.
His fingers clawed desperately against the concrete.
Then he vanished into the darkness below.
No impact.
No scream.
Just gone.
Panic detonated across the warehouse.
People rushed the exits.
Others dropped to the floor crying.
Someone started praying loudly.
The entire building shook again.
And then every electronic screen lit up simultaneously.
Phones.
Registers.
Security monitors.
The scanner hanging from Riven’s hand.
Bright crimson text filled every display.
WELCOME, CANDIDATES.
INITIALIZING FLOOR 1.
SURVIVAL PROBABILITY: 18%
Silence spread.
Nobody understood what they were seeing.
The message changed.
TUTORIAL BEGINS IN:
00:59
A woman laughed hysterically.
Someone screamed at the screens.
One man punched a shelf hard enough to break his hand.
Riven stared at the countdown.
00:58
00:57
00:56
The numbers felt real.
That was the terrifying part.
Some instinct deep inside him already understood this wasn’t a prank.
The warehouse shook violently again.
Riven looked toward the loading bay windows.
Several workers had already smashed one open.
Cold wind howled through the building.
People stared outside in horror.
The city was gone.
No buildings.
No traffic lights.
No streets.
Only darkness beneath a storm-red sky.
And far away in the distance
massive black towers stretched upward into swirling clouds like spears piercing heaven itself.
The world outside no longer looked human.
A woman beside the broken window collapsed sobbing.
“Oh God…”
Then the floor moved.
Not trembled.
Moved.
Huge circular sections of concrete began descending like giant elevator platforms.
Workers screamed as entire groups dropped into the abyss below.
Chains thundered somewhere deep underground.
The warehouse was becoming a machine.
Riven sprinted forward.
Instinct guided him toward a stable section near the center aisle while platforms collapsed all around him.
A forklift tipped sideways and disappeared into darkness.
The countdown continued.
00:22
00:21
00:20
Riven reached stable ground
and nearly collided with a girl kneeling beside a fallen steel pallet.
Long black hair.
Dark clothing.
Blood running down one side of her face.
She was trying to pull an unconscious worker free from beneath the crushed metal.
“He’s trapped,” she said breathlessly. “Help me lift this”
Riven looked once at the man.
Crushed ribs.
Collapsed chest.
Blood bubbling from his mouth.
“He’s dead.”
Her eyes snapped toward him.
“He’s still breathing!”
“He’s dying.”
The platform beneath them lurched violently.
The girl almost lost her footing.
Riven grabbed her arm automatically and pulled her upright.
For a brief second their eyes met.
Fear.
Shock.
Anger.
Then the body beneath the pallet moved.
Its eyes opened.
Too wide.
Too empty.
The worker’s jaw cracked unnaturally as black liquid spilled from his mouth.
The girl recoiled in horror.
“What the hell?!”
The corpse lunged upward.
Riven reacted instantly.
He kicked the steel pallet sideways with all his strength.
CRACK.
The edge slammed into the creature’s skull.
The body collapsed twitching.
Black blood spread across the floor.
Silence.
The girl stared at the corpse.
Then at Riven.
Breathing hard.
“What… was that?”
Riven didn’t answer.
Because somewhere deep inside himself…
he already knew.
Whatever was waiting below them
it had already begun changing people.
The countdown hit zero.
Every light in the warehouse turned crimson.
One final message appeared overhead.
FLOOR 1 ACTIVE.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
SURVIVE.
WARNING:
DEATH IS PERMANENT.
The floor vanished beneath them.
And the world swallowed them whole.

Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.
**
As a ballet dancer, My life looks perfect—scholarship, starring role, sweet boyfriend Tyler. Until Tyler shows his true colors and his older brother, Asher, comes home.
Asher is a Navy veteran with battle scars and zero patience. He calls me "princess" like it's an insult. I can't stand him.
When My ankle injury forces her to recover at the family lake house, I‘m stuck with both brothers. What starts as mutual hatred slowly turns into something forbidden.
I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
I hate girls like her.
Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.
How Not To Fall For A Dragon
Which is why it was more than a little confusing when a letter arrived with my name already printed on a schedule, a dorm waiting, and classes picked out as if someone knew me better than I knew myself. Everyone knows the Academy, it’s where witches sharpen their spells, shifters master their forms, and every kind of magical creature learns to control their gifts.
Everyone except me.
I don’t even know what I am. No shifting, no magic tricks, nothing. Just a girl surrounded by people who can fly, conjure fire, or heal with a touch. So I sit through classes pretending I belong, and I listen hard for any clue that might tell me what’s hidden in my blood.
The only person more curious than me is Blake Nyvas, tall, golden-eyed, and very much a Dragon. People whisper that he’s dangerous, warn me to keep my distance. But Blake seems determined to solve the mystery of me, and somehow I trust him more than anyone else.
Maybe it’s reckless. Maybe it’s dangerous.
But when everyone else looks at me like I don’t belong, Blake looks at me like I’m a riddle worth solving.
Alpha Nicholas's Little Mate
What? No—wait… oh Moon Goddess, no.
Please tell me you're joking, Lex.
But she's not. I can feel her excitement bubbling under my skin, while all I feel is dread.
We turn the corner, and the scent hits me like a punch to the chest—cinnamon and something impossibly warm. My eyes scan the room until they land on him. Tall. Commanding. Beautiful.
And then, just as quickly… he sees me.
His expression twists.
"Fuck no."
He turns—and runs.
My mate sees me and runs.
Bonnie has spent her entire life being broken down and abused by the people closest to her including her very own twin sister. Alongside her best friend Lilly who also lives a life of hell, they plan to run away while attending the biggest ball of the year while it's being hosted by another pack, only things don't quite go to plan leaving both girls feeling lost and unsure about their futures.
Alpha Nicholas is 28, mateless, and has no plans to change that. It's his turn to host the annual Blue Moon Ball this year and the last thing he expects is to find his mate. What he expects even less is for his mate to be 10 years younger than him and how his body reacts to her. While he tries to refuse to acknowledge that he has met his mate his world is turned upside down after guards catch two she-wolves running through his lands.
Once they are brought to him he finds himself once again facing his mate and discovers that she's hiding secrets that will make him want to kill more than one person.
Can he overcome his feelings towards having a mate and one that is so much younger than him? Will his mate want him after already feeling the sting of his unofficial rejection? Can they both work on letting go of the past and moving forward together or will fate have different plans and keep them apart?
Goddess Of The Underworld
When the veil between the Divine, the Living, and the Dead begins to crack, Envy is thrust beneath with a job she can’t drop: keep the worlds from bleeding together, shepherd the lost, and make ordinary into armour, breakfasts, bedtime, battle plans. Peace lasts exactly one lullaby. This is the story of an orphan pup who became a goddess by choosing her family; of four imperfect alphas learning how to be better. Steamy, fierce, and full of heart, Goddess of the Underworld is a reverse harem, found-family paranormal romance where love writes the rules and keeps three realms from falling apart.
Falling For The Biker: The Vice President's Girl
His eyes darken, flicking to my mouth.
"It's wrong. Your brother would slit my throat for just standing this close. But tell me, little bird" his breath ghosts my skin, "are you trembling because you hate me… or because you've wanted this just as much as I have?"
Wren thought she'd buried the chaos of New Orleans for good—the clubs, the blood-soaked loyalties, the men who lived and died by their kuttes. Seattle gave her everything she ever wanted: freedom, love, a future.
But one betrayal shatters it all.
Dragged home by tragedy, Wren finds herself under the watchful eye of Ezra Jax—the Raven Reapers MC's vice president and her brother's best friend. He's infuriating, dangerous, and far too tempting for a man she should never touch.
And the deeper Wren is pulled back into his world, the more she realizes nothing about her past—or about Ezra—is what she believed.
In the chaos of gang wars, mounting debts, and old betrayals, he becomes the one constant. The more she fights him, the harder she falls. And the more he pushes her away, the more lethal his pull becomes.
Because in this world, love isn't sweet.
It's brutal. Bloody.
And it's bound to break them both.
When loyalty is everything and love can cost your life, will Wren risk her heart on the one man she was never meant to love?
A pack of their own
The mafia princess return
The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
New to the world of shifters, Draven is human on the run. A beautiful girl who no one could protect. Domonic is the cold Alpha of the Red Wolf Pack. A brotherhood of twelve wolves that live by twelve rules. Rules which they vowed could NEVER be broken.
Especially - Rule Number One - No Mates
When Draven meets Domonic, he knows that she is his mate, but Draven has no idea what a mate is, only that she has fallen in love with a shifter. An Alpha that will break her heart to make her leave. Promising herself, she will never forgive him, she disappears.
But she doesn’t know about the child she’s carrying or that the moment she left, Domonic decided rules were made to be broken - and now will he ever find her again? Will she forgive him?
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.
The Human Among Wolves
My stomach twisted, but he wasn’t finished.
"You're just a pathetic little human," Zayn said, his words deliberate, each one hitting like a slap. "Spreading your legs for the first guy who bothers to notice you."
Heat rushed to my face, burning with humiliation. My chest ached — not from his words alone, but from the sick realization that I had trusted him. That I had let myself believe he was different.
I was so, so stupid.
