Reborn, Pregnant, and Plotting
Vera fought for her life in the apocalypse for ten years.
Ten brutal years left her disfigured, hungry, and almost broken, but she still clawed her way through it. She killed zombies, ran from mutated animals, starved, bled, and learned humans were often more dangerous than monsters.
Then her brother, the only family she had left, betrayed her.
Vera thought death had finally come.
Instead, she woke up inside a trashy book she once read to stay sane while the old world fell apart. A book with a twisted plot and too much drama.
And because her luck had always been terrible, Vera did not wake up as the heroine.
No, of course not.
Her second chance was to become the hated second female lead, pregnant, unwanted, and written to die when the plot no longer needed her. Her babies were supposed to die too. Even the three men who got her pregnant were written as future corpses, all to push the story toward spoiled women and one psychotic male lead.
But Vera was not the woman from the book.
She had survived one ruined world. She had not walked through radioactive rain and eaten mutated food just to cry over fantasy characters or beg for love inside a stupid plot.
So Vera adapted.
She accepted her punishment, took her three unborn babies, and left for the garbage center without making a scene. Everyone thought she had been thrown away.
Vera saw a chance to make money, protect her babies, and build something of her own.
Now the woman meant to disappear is building a wasteland empire, breaking the plot, and driving three men insane because she no longer chases anyone.
By every rule in that world, Vera should be dead.
But dying a second time was never an option.

Chapter: Home Sweet Garbage SectorThe old man did not argue, mostly because he had no idea what to argue with. He still could not understand why this girl was here, why she was smiling, or why a pregnant woman who had just been sentenced to exile spoke about poisoned land like someone had handed her a gift wrapped in a bow. His grandson stood beside him with the jug held tightly in both hands, looking between Vera, the dead bodies behind them, and the dark stretch of land ahead like he was trying to decide if she was a blessing, a monster, or both.Then the old man paused because his head felt clear.That alone nearly shook him more than the dead attackers. He knew his mental level had been collapsing. He had felt the red madness crawling behind his eyes, scratching at his thoughts, pushing him closer to the point where he would forget faces, names, words, and eventually even the child standing beside him. But the water she gave him had pulled that pressure back. Not fully, not forever maybe, but enough for him to thi

Chapter: Poisoned Soil Sounds PerfectShe looked up at the last attacker and smiled.On any normal day, Vera should not have looked dangerous at all. She was barely five feet tall, dressed in a white dress that had no business being on a garbage planet, with skinny arms, thin legs, and a belly heavy with three babies. But now the white dress was soaked and splattered with blood, her hair stuck to her face, her machete hung loose in one hand, and the ground around her was covered with bodies that had been alive less than a minute ago. She looked too small for the damage she had caused, and that made the sight worse. She did not look like a woman who had survived an attack. She looked like a demon who had been interrupted during dinner and was deciding whether the last person standing was worth the effort.“Do you want to test me?” Vera asked, her smile widening just enough to show him she would not mind if he made the wrong choice.“No,” the bandit said, staggering back.His red eyes flickered with the first clear spark o

Chapter: Just Watch What Mommy Can DoMutated humans were not that clean. Their powers came apart inside their bodies and rebuilt them wrong. Some grew bone plates through their skin, some leaked acid from their mouths, some could jump from walls with twisted legs, some screamed loud enough to burst eardrums, and some still remembered just enough words to beg right before their hands tried to rip your throat out. Vera had learned early that pity got you killed with those things. You did not talk. You did not wait. You cut tendons first if they were fast, broke the jaw if they could scream, took the eyes if they had ranged powers, and then finished the neck before the body figured out how to keep moving. If the head stayed attached too long, they adapted. If the spine was not broken, they crawled. If one hand remained free, they grabbed. So Vera had learned to be clean, fast, and mean enough to live.So at the end of the day, there was only one outcome here. Death. They did not have compassion left, and Vera was going to

Chapter: Better Than Expected“Ahh, this is amazing,” Vera said, stretching her arms above her head while the guard stared at her like she had lost her mind. “My paradise.”She started walking, and the farther she moved from the border line, the better she felt. Of course, no one in the galaxy with a working survival instinct would willingly step on this planet. Even the people who sent mentally collapsed citizens, beasts, criminals, and unwanted bloodlines here would never place their own polished boots on this ground. But if they did, if they stopped wrinkling their noses at the garbage long enough to feel the pulse under the dirt, they would understand this land was not dead at all. This sector healed. The air here was preserved, the soil was rich under all the waste, and with time, it could become much better than anything the galaxy imagined. Vera smiled again, though calling it a smile was not fully fair. She was grinning from ear to ear. Who would not? This place might have been called a garbage sector,

Chapter: Welcome to Trash ParadiseThe lights pressed closer. Vera held them for a long moment and let herself be gentle because here, no one could see it and mistake it for weakness. The apocalypse on Earth had made her cold because being kind got people killed. Trust did the same. She had watched good people die first, generous people get robbed, forgiving people get betrayed, and hopeful people get eaten because they believed someone would come back for them. The same thing happened in the book. The original Vera had been too loving, too forgiving, too desperate to be chosen. At the end, her children died, she died too, and the fathers did not get a happy ending either. Nobody won. Everyone just paid for being stupid too late.Unfortunately, the book had never truly cared about Vera. It had focused on another character and his brides. The dark lord loved three women who ended up married to the prince, the general, and the lord. Then the dark lord slaughtered everyone because his precious females were mistreated, an

Chapter: Three Tiny Lights and One Big PlanVera sat inside the space car and finally let her shoulders drop. The guard had brought her water and a small snack, and for a moment, neither of them spoke. To him, this whole situation was ridiculous. He and his wife had spent every saving they had just to nurture one child from a tube, and those three men, who controlled most of the wealth and power in the galaxy, had managed to create three children without spending a single coin, without praying over a glass chamber, without selling pieces of their lives to afford a chance. He felt bad for the woman in front of him, but he could not understand why she was smiling after being sentenced to exile in the garbage sector.Vera did not explain herself. She leaned back against the seat, closed her eyes, and slipped into the space inside her mind. In her former life, she had collected everything she could get her hands on. Food, seeds, medicine, weapons, tools, books, water filters, old machines, spare parts, blankets, and anything else t
