Novel Web Romance & Cerita Protective Weak to Strong Survival Game

“Get away from me,” I hissed, gripping the knife tighter. His gaze flicked down to the blade, then back to me, a slow, amused smile curving his lips. “A knife?” he said softly, tilting his head. “Are you perhaps flirting with me?” I gritted my teeth. The asshole was enjoying this — every fucking second of it. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ When Leah got home early from work, she was hoping for one thing — to fix what was left of her relationship with Daniel. Instead, she walked in on him in the arms of another woman. Heartbroken and humiliated, she stormed out, blind with tears… and straight into the path of an oncoming car. But death wasn’t the end for Leah. No! Death was actually the beginning.

Her youth, her career, her beauty, her love, even the years she spent raising the child she believed was her daughter. In return, Riven gave her nothing but betrayal. After years of marriage, Avenne discovers her husband has been secretly in love with another woman. Worse, the child she sacrificed everything to raise was never hers. When Riven looks her in the eyes and calls her fat, unattractive, and boring, Avenne realizes that the man she built her entire life around never valued her. Then, before she can even recover from the truth, the world changes. The ground splits beneath her feet, and Avenne falls into a strange and terrifying place known as the Underworld. Alone, frightened, and with no way back to the life she once knew, Avenne encounters a mysterious man who is slowly dying from a deadly poison. She doesn’t know him. She doesn’t know why he looks at her as though he has been waiting for her. And she certainly doesn’t know why a strange system suddenly awakens inside her, revealing a power she never knew she possessed. Avenne saves his life. What she doesn’t know is that the man she rescued is far more powerful than he appears, and her arrival in the Underworld is not a coincidence. The woman Riven rejected as nothing more than a fat housewife is about to discover that she was never worthless. She was simply in the wrong world. In the Underworld, her story is only beginning. And this time, Avenne won’t live for anyone but herself.

Willa Roane dies the same night she catches her boyfriend in bed with her sister. Instead of waking in peace, she’s dragged onto a ghostly bus and informed—by a mocking intercom—that she’s entered the Survival Game: a twisted show where the dead are thrown into lethal, terrifying worlds for the cruel amusement of an unseen audience. The rule is simple: survive each round… or your soul is erased forever. Her only ally is Corvin Thorne, the devastatingly beautiful stranger who yanked her off the road and onto the bus. A hybrid vampire–werewolf with a past soaked in blood, Corvin is bound by a wicked secret contract to keep Willa alive… or forfeit his own soul to the game. As they descend deeper into the nightmare realms—from a monster-ruled Dracula Castle to ruined neon cities—Willa realizes she is the key. The deadly worlds are twisting around her darkest fears and fantasies, turning her own horror stories into elaborate traps. She isn’t just a player; she’s the author of the chaos. And the man sworn to protect her may be the only thing she can’t control. Now Willa must rely on the dangerous man she’s falling for, a man who swore he would never love again. The heat between them is undeniable, but as their bond deepens, it’s impossible to tell which is more dangerous: the monsters hunting them… or the love that could destroy them both. Love might be beautiful—but in this game, it’s never sweet. It’s a weapon, a weakness, and the one thing that might rewrite the rules of Hell itself: desire. ---
