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

Humanity's biggest enemy was itself. Somehow unsatisfied, we learned how to destroy ourselves, and in that same breath bring back the dead. Man's biggest enemy was himself and now reanimated corpses-as if it wasn't bad enough. -- A BTS apocalypse au by: © wethenaive TW: Death, violence, and tragedy

Soren Vale begins his journey as one of WCKED's most trusted operatives-silent, precise, and loyal to their mission of control and survival. But everything shifts the moment he witnesses the Gladers up close, especially Minho, and sees not experiments, but people fighting to stay human in a broken world. Without warning, Soren turns against the system he once served. From the shadows, he begins protecting the Gladers, sabotaging WCKED's plans and guiding them through dangers no one else can see coming. To both sides, he becomes a myth-an invisible force known only as The Ghost Protector. No one knows his identity, not even WCKED, not even the Gladers he keeps saving. But secrets never stay buried forever. When Soren's identity is accidentally exposed, everything fractures. The Gladers who once relied on unseen protection grow wary. Fear replaces trust. Suspicion follows him like a shadow. Even Minho begins to distance himself, caught between gratitude and doubt. Soren feels it immediately-especially in the way Minho looks at him now. Yet over time, tension softens into understanding. Walls come down slowly, painfully. Trust rebuilds in fragments. And somewhere between survival and silence, Soren and Minho find something neither of them expected: a connection that grows quietly, steadily, and deeply in the middle of a collapsing world. As WCKED closes in, Soren continues to protect them all, even as his body and strength begin to fail him. In the end, he stands between the Gladers and destruction one final time-no longer a ghost, but a choice. And he gives them everything... even his last breath-or so perhaps not his last breath.

(Book 1: The Beginning Of The End) The world didn't end with a bang. It rotted. One second, everything was normal. The next-everything collapsed. Death came fast. What followed came faster. The dead didn't stay dead. They kept moving. And they didn't stop. December Hayes was never meant to survive a world like this-soft, untrained, unprepared. But survival doesn't care who you used to be. It strips you down and forces you to become something else. Saved by a stranger who trusts no one and trained like a weapon just to stay alive, December is thrown into a reality where hesitation gets you killed-and mercy can be more brutal than death. Because out there, the infected aren't the only monsters. And sometimes, the most dangerous thing in the world... is still human. --- © All Rights Reserved 2026
