Inside Racoon city, a zombie breakout happens and our protagonist (Y/n)....... Is dead. Well, undead. But instead of walking around aimlessly, trying to seek prey........ He does dumb stuff. That changes, when he met a certain former s.t.a.r.s member.

The Green Flu, a deadly virus, has swept across the eastern United States, leaving cities in chaos and survivors struggling to stay alive. Y/N is separated from his family and forced to join three unlikely companions: Zoey, a resourceful survivor; Ethan, a brash fighter; and Marcus, a calm strategist.

I drowned, woke up in another world, got killed again by an arch-necromancer, and resurrected as half-zombie. I'm technically alive only because I'm magically bound to him. Now I'm stuck in a dark academy where bullying can be fatal, skeletons aren't in closets, but on payroll, students keep disappearing, and survival is very much optional. On the bright side, I've discovered a unique talent: the undead tend to fall in love with me. On the less bright side, an ancient lich wants to drag me into his world. Honestly, dying twice was the easy part. What to expect: - Humorous dark fantasy in an academy setting - Dark academia with Wednesday-like vibes - The heroine gradually discovers her hidden abilities - Slow-burn, subtle romance - complicated, awkward, and very intentional - A fake engagement / marriage of convenience (bad decisions made for good reasons) - Morally grey characters - Friendship, betrayal, jealousy, mystery and secrets

Every choice she makes pushes the world closer to balance... or total collapse. Because in Australia, the dead are only the warning. And if the land finishes waking up, no one gets a second chance. ************************************************* Book 1 in the Dead Country Series

Homebody Zhao Hai brought 'QQ Farm' along in his traversal to another world and resided within the body of a fallen noble. His fief was a black land which nothing could be planted, and more importantly, he even had a peerlessly powerful fiancee, who was actually the successor of a duchy and future Grand Duchess! Even more importantly, he is a magical and martial cripple who could not learn magic and martial arts. His crippling was very thorough. "I can't learn magic, but I have the farm. You dare attack me? I'll release bugs to eat up your rations and crops, and put pesticides and weed agents into your water sources to make your lands grow weeds. See if you dare to attack me. What? You wanna hire killers to assassinate me? Hehehe. I'll hide inside the little house in my farm and see how you can attack me. When you leave, I'm gonna terminate your country's crop productions, and then all of your people will revolt. See if you dare to kill me." Watch how this somewhat black hearted hobo uses his QQ Farm in the world of swords and magic to become a globally known nightmarish existence. "Disclaimer: This story is not mine.
