End Game In Someone's Story

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. ---

Holylight adalah ibukota kerajaan yang terdapat disalah satu benua Kylum, Kylum adalah benua dengan empat jenis sihir yakni cahaya,kegelapan,air,dan api. Kylum sendiri terbagi atas empat kerajaan besar antara lain Bright,Lorian,Kyle,Nemesis. Holylight merupakan ibukota kerajaan Bright. Kerajaan Bright adalah kerajaan ilmu sihir cahaya sedangkan Nemesis adalah kerajaan ilmu sihir kegelapan, kedua kerajaan ini saling bermusuhan selama berabad-abad. Lorian adalah kerajaan dengan ilmu sihir air, kerajaan ini adalah yang paling cinta damai mereka tidak pernah sekalipun berselisih dengan ketiga kerajaan lain selagi tanah mereka tidak diganggu, dan Kyle adalah kerajaan dengan ilmu sihir api, kerajaan ini adalah salah satu pemasok persenjataan terbanyak untuk ketiga kerajaan karena bakat alami mereka ada seorang pengrajin. Dibenua Kylum terdapat sebuah bencana yang dinamai “Void World”, sebuah dimensi ruang dan waktu yang bisa mengeluarkan monster ganas dari dimensi lain sehingga menyebabkan kehancuran dibenua Kylum, ketika Void World muncul maka empat kerajaan tersebut harus menyatukan kekuatan mereka untuk menyengelnya sehingga bisa menutup ruang dan waktu yang muncul didalam sebuah batu yakni “Stone Of Life” batu ini tercipta ketika empat dari raja kerajaan tersebut menyatukan sihir mereka, akan tetapi konsekuensi yang harus dibayar adalah mereka akan kehilangan semua ilmu sihir mereka dan akan mati setelah berhasil menyegel Void World didalam Stone Of Life. Sudah lebih dari 10.000 tahun semenjak Void World disegel, kehidupan dibenua Kylum juga mulai berangsur membaik dan semenjak saat itu juga kerajaan Bright dan Nemesis mulai berselisih dan berperang untuk membuktikan siapa kerajaan yang terkuat diantara empat kerajaan, akan tetapi tidak pernah ada pemenang diantara kerajaan tersebut yang ada hanya pertumpahan darah dan menelan banyak korban diantara kedua belah pihak sehingga kedua kerajaan tersebut menandatangani sebuah surat perjanjian untuk gencatan senjata untuk beberapa waktu yang lama, dimana surat ini tidak akan berlaku lagi jika satu pihak menyerang pihak lain.

That guy, enthusiastic as fire, sometimes cold to the point of selfishness. If the game has already begun, who will be willing to take the final step? Rian Musk knew she should stay away from him, because her intuition told her not to get dragged into danger. She was subjective, she fooled herself into thinking she was in a safe zone. Until she wakes up on a deserted island, my god, his world is dangerous! With a girl who only knows how to grow flowers and earn money like her? She didn't like this joke at all! As expected, Rian was the loser. She was cornered, she was forced to attack and defend, but she could not defeat her fate. But look back, who is the real loser? To Rian's surprise, the strong man was suffering because of her. Perhaps Rian realized, love made her a winner.

Semua aman, sampai seseorang berkhianat, ia harus bersembunyi, petualangan dimulai. Di benua Meera, semuanya diselesaikan dengan kekuatan.

The day I was supposed to win the biggest award of my career, I walked in on my boyfriend, Ethan, in bed with another woman. He sneered, calling me a face-blind, scent-deaf bore in bed. I planned to expose his ass at the award ceremony. Instead, he and his lover mowed me down with their car. Next thing I knew, I woke up with them in an S-class horror survival game. Mortality rate: over 95%. We had to survive ten days in a haunted manor to be revived. Hit 100 on your Anxiety Level, and your soul is obliterated. Chloe, Ethan's lover, sneered. "Sensory defects? You can't recognize ghosts or smell danger. In a horror game, that’s a death sentence. You might as well just die." The others heard her and scrambled to team up. Me? I walked straight into the lair of the manor's final boss. The most powerful demon in the game wanted to devour my soul. I couldn't really see him. I just thought he was a cosplayer. I lunged forward, poked his abs, and pointed at the glowing crack in his chest. "Wow, you're really committed to the role. This getup must've cost a fortune."

After I got pulled into the horror game, my nearsightedness made everything blurry. I ended up treating the creepy girl in the blood-stained dress like my own daughter, the final boss like my husband, and the old creepy ghosts like my loving parents. The first time I met the boss, I grabbed his abs and said, “Nice body. Shame you’re kind of short.” He actually laughed in anger, picked up the severed head in his hand, put it back on his neck, and ground out, “I’m six-foot-one. Still think I’m short now?”

After ten years of dedication, Syra is divorced by her Alpha, who goes back to his first love. Feeling betrayed, she enters a love game with her former Mate and fiancé that she abandoned. The game... “Let’s play a game,” I purred. “You’ve got three months. In that time, you can try any type of flirting, seducing, or courting—bad boy style. Pull every trick you’ve got. Make me want you. And if, by any chance, my heart so much as skips a beat when I see that ridiculously handsome face of yours? You win. You mark me, and I’m yours.” “Any kind of flirting?” he asked, amused now. I nodded. “Yeah, bad boy. All of it. Make me want you. But if you fail… then I use you for a year—your name, your power, your resources—and after that, you release me. So… what do you say, Mr. Steinhart? In or out?”

Grandpa died, and we immediately went for each other's throats over the inheritance. Then a blizzard hit, trapping us all in the family estate. An app appeared on our phones: [THE LAST ZOMBIE: FINAL RECKONING]. We had to pick a hiding spot. The last one standing—the last human standing—would inherit everything. I chose the dark, silent recording studio in the basement. Away from them all. When it was time to pick special powers, my family chose powerful weapons or pocket dimensions full of supplies. I chose Bio-Stasis. It slowed my cells to a crawl, and my body along with them. My stepbrother's fiancée, Chloe, called me an idiot. "Hiding from your family and picking a useless power? You're on a suicide mission." They threw a zombie-slaying party upstairs, already celebrating an inheritance they hadn't even won. Until, one by one, they turned. And started tearing each other apart. What they didn't know... was that I'd rigged the game from the start. The only way to win was to stay completely silent.
