Reborn In ruin

ONE_KING1979
Synopsis: Li Wei died in the apocalypse, a brutal, drawn-out affair that saw humanity fall to the undead. But fate, in a cruel twist, has granted him a second chance. He awakens a month before the outbreak in Shanghai, armed with fragmented memories of the horrors to come and a mysterious system that promises power through the consumption of "Spirit Cores" found within the mutated undead. This time, Li Wei vows not just to survive, but to thrive. He navigates the oblivious world before the storm, making desperate preparations for the inevitable chaos. When the apocalypse erupts with terrifying speed and deadlier evolved zombies – the "Precursors" – Li Wei is forced to confront the nightmare head-on. Discovering that consuming Spirit Cores grants him enhanced strength, speed, and even the potential for cultivation, Li Wei embarks on a perilous journey of self-evolution. He battles hordes of increasingly dangerous undead, makes difficult choices for survival, and reluctantly becomes a leader to those who manage to live through the initial onslaught. As Shanghai descends into ruin, Li Wei must learn to master his newfound abilities and understand the secrets of the Spirit Cores and the system that guides him. But the apocalypse is only the beginning. Whispers of other survivors, the emergence of even more powerful mutated beings, and the potential for humanity to venture beyond Earth into a cosmos teeming with unknown threats loom on the horizon. "Reborn in Ruin" is a thrilling tale of second chances, brutal evolution, and the addictive pursuit of power in a world consumed by the undead. It follows Li Wei's desperate fight for survival and his transformation into a force capable of leading humanity into an uncertain future among the stars, forever changed by the ruin they left behind.

When Jiang Qiao, in Furina's form, attended the Fontaine court, a casual wave of his hand sent the ocean surging back into the heavens. Paimon, pointing at Jiang Qiao holding a dazed blonde, exclaimed, "You're saying this is a fake?!"

And it was during this time that the rumor about a dragon egg spread like wildfire and everyone was asked to hunt for it. Whoever finds it will have a greater share and unbelievable privileges. Excited for the hunt, Ingrid takes part in it with the motive of finding it and bargaining for its blood and scale. But as fate would have it, she didn't just find it but that same dragon turns out to be her mate. ***** ~{SNEAK PREVIEW}~ The closer I got, the more I realized it was a full grown naked man. What? A man? How was the dragon a man? Suddenly I growled and groaned as my body grew hot by just the sight of him. What was wrong with me? Could it be that my wolf side was affected by the dragon because of the smell of its blood? Disregarding the fact that he was naked, I approached him and my breathing became labored as my senses heightened to an intense level I never knew possible. “Who would dare do such a thing to him!” I angrily said aloud and that was when his eyes opened, causing my breath to get caught in my throat. He was breathtaking! His lashes were white and they shimmered while his iris were gray in color. “Ingrid,” he breathed out my name and my eyes widened in wonder at the fact that he knew my name.
