She died freezing, alone, and locked out of his bunker. Now she's back with $4,212 and a grudge. Odessa "Dess" Marlowe gave the Hale family six years, sixty thousand dollars and every ounce of trust she had. In return, her boyfriend Garrick locked her out of his private bunker on the first night of the apocalypse and joked that she'd "eat through the supplies in a week."

She'll collect the proof, take back what's hers, stockpile every last can and blanket she can find, and watch the Hales' perfect lives crack in public. But Garrick isn't the only one who knows what's coming, and the men circling her new life are hiding secrets of their own. A quiet ex-soldier who sees too much. A cold billionaire who looks at her like he has already lost her once. A doctor with a joke for every wound. A mafia heir who won't let anyone touch what's his. When the sky finally breaks, the Hales will come knocking. Dess has plenty of food. Just not for them.

My husband sold me for thirty days of food. My best friend counted the supplies while I was dragged away. After two years of keeping them alive, I was worth less to them than a locked storeroom. I died in a settlement laboratory and woke up ninety days before the world ended. This time, I am keeping my money, my supplies and my life.

Then a warning appears in front of me: [ANOTHER REGRESSOR HAS BEEN DETECTED.] Someone has come back to change the future. And unlike me, they want the world to burn.

Because there is one question nobody has dared to ask: What is waiting beyond the town?

This time, they'll learn what happens when the girl they betrayed becomes the queen of the apocalypse.

Level 1. Assassin. Starting gear: one rusty revolver and a really bad attitude. Aria was an insurance adjuster with a gaming habit and a Charisma score she's still offended by. Then she wakes up in a crumbling high-rise in a ruined city, with a health bar floating in her vision and a terminal telling her she's a Level 1 Assassin. Her loadout is a single Colt, a knife, and four boxes of ammo. No respawn button. No manual. No one to tell her whether she can quit. The city is full of zombies, and she's a terrible shot. But she's a quick study. With a secondhand baseball bat, a scruffy little dog named Midnight, and a talent for turning panic into XP, Aria starts to climb. She unlocks Victorian-flavored shops, scrounges for blueprints, and hunts quests for a shotgun she can't afford. She also catches the eye of a cocky guild recruiter, a flirty healer, and a secretive sisterhood of assassins whose mechanical librarian is a little too thorough with its security scan. Everyone in this world seems to want something from her. Then a stranger on a passing bus holds up a message, and Aria loses an hour in the back room of a crafting shop. Now she's wondering whether the game was built for her, and who else is watching her play. She can't log out, so she's going to have to grind. Snarky, gritty, and packed with gear porn, zombie-bashing, and slow-burn romance, this is a steampunk LitRPG for readers who've ever muttered "fuck this game" and then played for six more hours.

He refuses to leave her alone, and despite his ruthless nature, he soon becomes smitten with her. As chaos consumes the world, the two are forced to stay together—and survival may be the one thing that brings them closer. Armed with her Shopping System and a burning desire for revenge, she will take back everything she lost—even if she has to tear through the apocalypse to do it.

Jenna spent years keeping her husband's family alive. When a supervolcano erupted and ash buried the city, they locked her out of the shelter she had helped build. She suffocated outside the hatch while her husband, Steve, watched through the gap and did nothing. With her last breath, she learned that Max, the little boy she had raised as her own, was Steve's son with his colleague Vanessa. Then Jenna opens her eyes, sixty days before the eruption. This time, she doesn't beg for a place at their table. She hands Steve divorce papers, sells everything that will be worthless once the sky turns black, and claims the one thing his family always mocked: her late grandfather's abandoned mine, buried deep enough to keep the ash out and the air clean. When Steve and his mother, Linda, try to take half of it, the deed proves it was Jenna's long before the wedding. Everyone calls her crazy for stockpiling respirators, diesel, and medicine. Only Ray, the cold and watchful captain of the mine rescue team, notices that nothing she buys is random. He doesn't trust her, but he can't ignore that she seems to know something no one else does. Then the mountain blows. The sky turns red, roofs collapse under the ash, and the same people who locked her out come pounding on her door, begging to be let in. This time, Jenna decides who lives.

In my first life, I was Preston’s combat quartermaster. I kept his team fed, fortified their perimeter, and crushed my knee hauling rations—only for him to strip my winter coat, seize my sidearm, and drop the iron bolt on the airlock hatch. “In the field, we don’t bleed rations on dead weight.” Those were his last words before the freezing sleet and starving scavengers finished me off. Now I’ve woken up seven days before Zero Hour. A solar superflare is about to burn out the power grid and freeze the city solid. But this time, my grandmother’s pendant has opened a hidden void in my mind—a dark space where time stands still, boiling soup stays scalding forever, and nothing ever rots. While Preston pressures me to sign over my late mother’s townhouse to cover his gambling debts, and my parasite sister—who wrapped herself in my blanket while I froze—screams about rent money, I get to work. Fifteen thousand pounds of grain and clean water. Eight hundred piping-hot meals. Heaters, fuel, trauma kits—and a three-hundred-pound steel door bolted eight inches into the cinderblock. Then I hand Preston to the loan sharks hunting him. When the sky turns violet and the transformers explode, he comes sprinting to my door, begging me to open it. Goodnight, Preston. This time, I’m the one who locks the door.

My dear boyfriend offered me as the sacrifice in exchange for the life of his ex/bestie, so I dumped him for a demigod to rule the underworld as their new queen.
