regenerate superpowers survival university

Pass the monthly survival phases, upgrade your rank, or let your body break. Welcome to Arden University. A luxurious, high-tech campus complete with everything you need-a massive mall, luxury dorms, and premium facilities. It looks like a dream school. But once the iron gates close behind you, there is no going back. You are trapped. Inside Arden, status is everything. The entire student body is strictly divided into five clusters based on their hidden capabilities, ranging from the powerful elite Student Council of Cluster 1 down to the bottom tier of Cluster 4. And then there is Kelsy Keith Hayes-the only unclassified Cluster 5 student in their batch. To the rest of the school, Kelsy is a complete anomaly. A powerless target and an easy prey for higher-ranked students like Chloe, who wants nothing more than to see her fail. Kelsy's only goal is to survive under the radar with the help of her roommates, Maya and Asher. But her plan of staying hidden completely shatters when she catches the attention of Silas Cain Salvatorre-the cold, ruthless leader of Cluster 1 and the school's undisputed top student. Why is the campus god suddenly keeping a dangerously close eye on a Cluster 5 nobody? As the countdown to the first deadly survival game begins, Kelsy will realize that inside Arden University, your worst enemy isn't the monsters in the game... it's the person standing right next to you.

Forward | Rewind to Tomorrow [Michael Jackson]

"It causes your immune system to turn against you," I explained gently. The color terrifyingly drained from his face as he stared at his knuckles. "I have a spot," he whispered, his voice scraping like glass. "Right here." He let out a strangled noise as the stadium footage buffered. "Riley!" he shrieked, covering his burning face while peering through his fingers at his future self. "Those pants leave absolutely nothing to the imagination!" He went so unnaturally still I thought his heart had stopped beating. His charcoal-stained fingers curled into tight fists. "Fifty," he whispered, scanning the fatal summary on the glowing screen. "I am... I am gone at fifty." What if the only way to save your future was to completely abandon your past? In 1982, Michael Jackson is suffocating. Trapped behind his family's compound gates and drowning under industry pressure, the rising star just wants a life of peace and normalcy. The universe answers-violently ripping him from his timeline and dropping him onto the bedroom rug of Riley, a freelance graphic designer in the year 2025. Stranded forty-three years in the future, Michael must face a world that already knows his tragic history. But Riley fiercely refuses to let that history repeat. She offers him the anonymous, ordinary life he always craved, rebuilding his shattered confidence brick by brick and teaching him the radical concept of self-love. More importantly, she arms him with the ultimate weapon: the brutal truth. She gives him the exact names of the snakes hiding in his 1982 backyard, the upcoming betrayals, and the devastating tragedies he is destined to face. When the universe inevitably pulls him back, Michael is no longer the timid pop star terrified of his shadow. He is a king preparing to claim his throne, knowing exactly how to rewrite music history and what it takes to survive. But armed with the future, changing his fate might cost him the one person who taught him how to live.
