Even if you've never watched The Walking Dead, you can still enjoy this story! 【Realistic Apocalypse + The Walking Dead Setting + Independent Protagonist】 【Base Building + Survival + Adventure | No Romance】 After transmigrating into the world of The Walking Dead, she becomes the younger sister of Leah from the Reapers-someone who was supposed to die before even appearing in the story. Calista seems to have drawn the worst possible script... a doomed background character. But that's fine. The situation is still salvageable. The first thing she does after waking up? Cling to the Reapers and secure their protection. While Rick's group is still struggling with questions of morality and humanity, Calista is already rebuilding order through sheer force. The Governor dares to provoke her? Bombard him. The Whisperers? Erase them. The Commonwealth and CRM? Move aside. Rick stares at his shabby camp in confusion. "Why is everyone running to her side?" Negan flicks the blood off Lucille as the gates of Rock Fortress slowly open behind him. "Damn... because following her means you actually thrive." Starting with the Reapers as her foundation, Calista rises from a winery stronghold to become a ruler of the apocalypse. From the United States... all the way to Europe. The original plot? Just a reference. From today onward, my territory will define the order of the new world. 【The protagonist is not a saint. She won't follow or assist Rick's group blindly. Their paths will cross, but she will build her own empire.】 (No system. Just the realistic rise of an ordinary person in the apocalypse.)

One day, when the blood of the dragon needs her again, Nila Valyrian will wake.

A girl with a hidden identity. A man feared by everyone. One carries the pain of betrayal, the other rules without mercy. When fate brings them together, secrets, love, and truths are bound to collide. At the age of 17, Aarvika Singh had everything-a loving family, five overprotective brothers, caring parents, and a life full of laughter. She was the youngest, the most pampered, and the heartbeat of the Singh family. But on the night of her birthday, everything changed. On the other side stands Aaryavik Rathore, the 31-year-old business tycoon feared by the corporate world. Cold, ruthless, and impossible to read, he has no idea that the quiet girl he keeps crossing paths with is hiding an empire bigger than anyone could imagine. What happens when the girl everyone left behind crosses paths with the man everyone fears? Will buried truths bring broken hearts back together... Or will some betrayals remain unforgivable?

Six years of planning, failing, hoping and waiting for what's to come, and just... trying to move on. But no one can predict the future. (Well, maybe Kosmo kind of can). Meanwhile, Rayla and Callum are navigating love, loss, and the unknown. Old enemies awaken, new dangers emerge, and every choice could destroy the world they've fought so hard to protect. Their home. Can they survive what's coming... together? ...Or will everything fall to pieces? The cover art, is edited and designed (Put together...)

Jungkook was once a ball of sunshine-cheerful, talkative, and full of life. A little troublemaker with a soft heart, he could find happiness even in his darkest moments. Silence was something he never believed in... especially around the people he loved. But something changed. The boy who couldn't stop talking now doesn't speak at all. Not because he can't... but because something stole his voice, leaving behind only a quiet, broken version of him. On the other side stands Kim Taehyung a university heartthrob feared for his cold personality and infamous for breaking hearts. Quick-tempered and guarded, he doesn't believe in love. To him, feelings are nothing more than a distraction. Yet beneath his sharp edges lies a softer side, reserved only for the people he truly cares about. Two completely different souls. One lost in silence. One filled with warmth. What will happen when their paths collide? Will Taehyung be able to bring back Jungkook's cheerful smile and the voice he buried deep inside himself. Or will Jungkook become the only person capable of melting the ice around Taehyung's heart? ------ Top - taehyung Bottom - Jungkook taekook yoonmin namjin Hope yoonji

I was born with a purpose, a purpose to serve, and to protect. I was born to be a healer and a helper. I was someone that a group of people knew a long time ago, having the same features as the one that came before me. I was a reincarnation to a Champion, a female born from two pure Alphas and descended from the Original Ten. I was the reincarnation of Cassandra Kristen, and I had so much to live up to and pray that I could be the best that I had to be. _______________________________________ NOTE: IF YOU READ THIS BOOK ON ANY OTHER APP BESIDES WATTPAD THEN IT IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

Her father has already chosen the man she's supposed to marry. Refusing to surrender her future, Bella comes up with a reckless plan: find a temporary husband, stay married for one year, then quietly walk away. She expects every man to say yes. Elijah Romano is the first to say no. A talented young chef in Paris, Elijah has no interest in Bella's fortune, her status, or the life she represents. The more she pushes, the more stubborn he becomes. What begins as a battle of wills slowly leads them far from the glittering streets of Paris to the quiet island of Isla Verde, where shared meals, muddy fields, and ordinary days begin to change them both in ways neither expected. Because sometimes love doesn't arrive with grand declarations. Sometimes... It begins with someone quietly asking, "Have you eaten?"

"Y-You smoke too m-much" Arabella pouts but she's already sliding the cigarette from his fingers gentle as anything stubbing it out in the soil of the tiny succulent he keeps on his desk the one she gave him three weeks ago that he somehow hasn't killed yet. Lucien stared at her. His green eyes catching the adorable smile already brightening her face. No one touches his things. Yet she's touching his hand now her thumb brushing his knuckles where the skin's gone slightly rough, and his chest does whatever the fucking fluttery thing it always does when she looks at him like that. "And you" he starts voice wrecked already. Fucking pathetic. "You talk too much." But he doesn't even mean it. Honestly, he could drown in the beautiful, soft sound pouring from those rosy lips. Those rosy lips that seem to babble about anything and everything. Those very lips he so desperately craves on his. Fuck. 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ🐿️་༘࿐ She's sunshine in a broken world-bubbly, kind, stuttering through her wildest thoughts, finding beauty in colorful flowers and joy in silly romance novels. He's ice in a tailored suit, CEO of a company he never wanted, grumpy at 6 AM, hell, even grumpy at midnight, smoking through his stress just to feel something burn. She talks too much when she's excited. And that's basically always. He hasn't had a real conversation in years. And frankly, he doesn't care to. She's struggling, working in various jobs and surviving on croissants and hope, escaping a past that still texts her at 2 AM. He's rich, cold, avoiding his parents' weekly "why are you still single" dinners by working himself into the ground. She's all soft edges and "have a lovely day" to strangers. He's all sharp lines and "get out of my fucking face" before coffee. They shouldn't fit. They don't fit. Yet somehow she's the only one whose blabber he doesn't want to silence with harsh words but with sweet kisses. 𔓘All Rights Reserved𔓘

1917 Having been recently relieved from a brutal stint at the front lines, Thomas and a small unit of medics are stationed at a secondary casualty station. Thomas's cynical shell is cracked when a four-year-old girl named Rosie is brought in. The sole survivor of a direct hit on her family home, she has lost both legs below the knee and her parents in a single heartbeat. Major Clarkson, recognizing Thomas's meticulous (if distant) nature, assigns him to her constant care. Initially, Thomas resents the "nanny" work but eventually something shifts. For the first time in his life, Thomas isn't performing for a master or scheming for a promotion; he is simply needed. He uses his "acquired" luxuries-chocolate and extra blankets-to coax her back to life. As Rosie stabilizes, the camp receives a shipment of primitive prosthetic limbs. While the surgeons are busy with the endless stream of dying soldiers, Thomas takes it upon himself to be Rosie's legs. In the quiet hours between bombardments, he teaches her to balance, then to shuffle, and finally to walk. In Rosie's stubborn refusal to give up, Thomas finds a reflection of his own survival instinct-but hers is pure, untainted by the bitterness that has defined him. She becomes the only thing in France that makes him feel like a "good man." Thomas realizes that as a Sergeant, he is bound to the mud until he is either dead or "broken." Desperate to stay with her, or at least be sent back to England where he might find a way to track her down, he looks at the flickering lights of the enemy line. The shot that shatters his hand is his ticket home-and his greatest shame. As he is loaded onto a transport, he catches one last glimpse of Rosie watching from a distance, standing tall on the legs he taught her to use. He leaves behind the only person he has ever truly loved without conditions, carrying a permanent scar that will forever remind him of the cost of his humanity.

What begins as an unexpected connection soon challenges everything they thought they knew about healing, trust, and love. As old scars reopen, Nabeel must confront the past he has spent years running from, while Nooriyyah must decide whether loving someone broken is worth the cost. 🌱 🌱 🌱 A Love Decreed is a heartfelt Muslim romance about grief, healing, second chances, and discovering that love is not always the cure but sometimes it is the reason we finally choose to heal. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 A/N: wrote this book as a teenager with no clue as to what it'll become , my first ever book here🥹 I'm so grateful to every single one of you that gave me a chance to share my super cliche story.
