    "Projection Sorcery shouldn't be this weak!" I transmigrated into Naoya Zenin from Jujutsu Kaisen, and I also gained an invincible Taijutsu that lets me throw twenty-four elbows in a single second. The bad news is that I'm the villain boss, and on top of that, a thoroughly despicable evil blond. Fortunately, I know the original plot inside and out. As long as I deal with the main cast ahead of time, I'll be able to rest easy from then on. So the answer was obvious. "Simple. I'll just redeem myself." Maki Zenin awakens the Heavenly Restriction, transforms into a mysterious muscle-bound woman, and wipes out the entire family? Then I'll join her! Your biological father is no good. Don't mind the rumors and gossip. Little sister, you're going to become the freest, most independent woman in the world. Go do what you want. Big brother will always support you! Megumi Fushiguro is the true heir of the Zenin Clan, and I'm just a substitute? Then I'll join him! Megumi, the burden of being Clan Head is yours now. Huh? What do you mean your strength doesn't measure up? Summon Mahoraga for me! I'm going to beat it into a farm ox for the Zenin Clan! But then the plot started to go a little off the rails... What do you mean there wasn't even a moment to mourn Satoru Gojo before Naoya Zenin, the strongest in Kyoto, arrived on the battlefield the very next instant? ...

THEN CAME THE PARASITE But scientists created more than just dragons-they created a deadly parasite. Wyrmrot, they later called it. First, it ate your brain, and then it made you eat other people's brains. NOW ZELDA MUST SURVIVE THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE Separated from her family, the only person Zelda has left from her former life is her childhood friend turned boyfriend, Cooper Marotta. Together they've carved out a safe place for themselves in a world turned upside down, but when a zombie horde decimates their survivor group, they face a choice: attempt to rebuild or follow the mysterious coordinates that appeared on a construction sign. Zelda still hopes her family is out there somewhere and believes the coordinates might lead her to them. Cooper, however, thinks the coordinates will only bring trouble. When the remaining survivors vote to undertake the perilous cross-country journey, he attempts to deter them every step of the way. What Zelda discovers at their destination will test her loyalties and change everything she thought she knew about the apocalypse. Wyrmrot is a heart-stopping Young Adult Apocalyptic novel told in dual timelines. "Jurassic Park meets Resident Evil." This fast-paced tale of survival, secrets, and betrayal features dragons, zombies, and a touch of romance. Perfect for fans of Erin Bowman's Contagion or Emily Suvada's This Mortal Coil.

    In the shadows of Konoha, the Uchiha were never defeated by rebellion. They were erased by fear, secrets, and silence. Toyoma Uchiha is not a prodigy chasing power, nor a fool blinded by revenge. He carries knowledge of a future where his clan is destined to be sacrificed-not for justice, but for convenience. As conspiracies tighten and loyalties fracture, Toyoma chooses a different path. Not blind obedience. Not reckless defiance. But careful resistance. With a handful of elders who still remember what it means to protect family, and enemies who smile while sharpening their knives, the Uchiha stand at the edge of extinction. This time, the future will not unfold quietly. This is not the story of a massacre. It is the story of a clan that refused to disappear.
