The end of the world had never been so romantic—for Alisa Vega, at least. In an alternate universe where Earth survives the first apocalypse, humans live side by side with other species in a society where impossible things become possible. And yet, with all that magic and technology, love remains to be the most mysterious and unpredictable thing of all. Alisa Vega is a popular celebrity well-known for her beauty and charisma. Growing up in a loving and privileged environment, she had never wanted for anything in her life—until she meets Jester Lee, the rising star of the Adventurer community. Jester saves her life and steals her heart in the process. She confesses her love, but Jester is having none of it. Apparently, he's too busy saving all three worlds from a second apocalypse to entertain any thoughts on romance. But Alisa is convinced that he is THE ONE for her—and she is not taking no for an answer. Join Alisa and Jester as their stories unfold side by side: from gala appearances, photoshoots, and dodging the paparazzi, to navigating through a mess of man-eating monsters, secret identities, and uncovering conspiracies, all in the name of true love. *Author's Note: Some parts of the story may include scenes of violence and gore, dark (morbid) humor and possible emotional trauma (for the characters).

Alice menatap sendu ke arah luar jendela rumahnya. Tampak terlihat anak-anak kecil tengah bermain bola di depan rumahnya. Ramai, bising, dan gelak tawa yang membuat orang lain terganggu, tapi tidak dengannya. Ia selalu merindukan momen dimana anak-anak bermain di depan rumahnya. Terkadang, ia memberikan makanan atau minuman ringan untuk mereka semua. Alice tersenyum, saat melihat bocah kecil itu tertawa riang melihat aneka jajanan yang diberikan olehnya. Sesekali ia menghapus buliran bening, yang membasahi pipinya. Ia kembali teringat akan ucapan sang ibu mertua, yang membuatnya menitikkan air mata. Sang ibu mertua menyindirnya, saat ia dan suami berkunjung kesana. Sindiran tajam yang terdengar biasa bagi yang lain, tapi tidak bagi Alice.

His hands slide down my thighs, spreading my legs wider, and in one swift motion, he plunges his length inside me. *** Alice's world crumbles when she discovers her husband's affair with her step-sister.
