The Howl of the Forsaken LitRPG | Dark Fantasy | Sci-Fi/Fantasy Apocalypse. Four hundred years ago, the world shattered. Portals tore through the sky, merging Earth with realms of bloodthirsty Vampires, savage Lycans, and nightmarish Demons. Humanity barely clings to survival in the last 45 mega-cities scattered around the world. Kael Bloodfang was born into nobility but cast out like trash. Half-human. Half-lycan. And worst of all-an Omega with no ability. Scavenging the ruins of the forgotten world, Kael scrapes by in the shadows of hunters, monsters, and machines. But when a brutal encounter triggers a mysterious system unlike any other, Kael unlocks a path none have walked before: The Eclipse Forge. No shadows. No minions. Only constructs, twisted from Rift-warped metal and burning with raw energy. Now hunted by monsters, hunted by men-and haunted by the bloodline that cast him out-Kael must rise. To evolve. To forge. To howl loud enough that even the gods hear it. Will he survive the Rift? Or be devoured before the world sees what a Forsaken is truly worth?

Levi Warwick, a novel author, wakes up trapped in the Library of Noctis a mysterious realm filled with forbidden books. To survive, he must help each patron find the book they seek... or die. The catch? Every patron is a terrifying being Archwizards, Demon Lords, even Demigods. If one of them so much as farts in his direction, he'll be dead on the spot. He's just a normal guy. But to them, he appears to be the legendary Librarian cold, powerful, untouchable. So he smiles, lies, and prays they never find out he's winging it

Ren Hector was supposed to be a Doctor. Instead, he died of a heart attack five years into surgical residency and woke up in a nightmare world where people awaken as Hunters by surviving their worst fears. The System was supposed to grant him healing powers. But something went wrong. A glitch during binding process warped his class into something monstrous. Now, as the Doctor of the Ruin Gospel, Ren wields sentient surgical tentacles and a chainsaw instead of holy light. Now he's the Doctor of the Ruin Gospel, a walking medical atrocity who heals people with surgical tentacles, a chainsaw, and a mouth in his palm that bites things for diagnosis. The more fear he causes, the stronger he gets. Trapped in a broken system, in a world ruled by Gates, monsters, and divine protocols, Ren isn't here to save the world. He's just trying to cure it. And maybe bill it later.

A dark, hidden boy who she is deemed to survive with. #1 infected #13 Apocalypse #3 Zombies #1 Zombieapocalypse #6 Zombie #1 Zombieoutbreak
