Introduction
Not with explosions. Not with war. But with a message.
Every screen across the United Kingdom from the underground stations of Westminster to the rain-soaked alleys of Whitechapel suddenly goes black before a single sentence appears across the sky.
WELCOME, PLAYERS.
Within minutes, reality collapses into a living nightmare.
Monsters emerge from subway tunnels beneath King’s Cross. Entire streets vanish behind crimson fog. People awaken strange classes, levels, and abilities as the city transforms into a brutal game ruled by an unseen System obsessed with survival, evolution, and entertainment.
Those who level up live.Those who fail are erased.
Twenty-three-year-old Anderson Jones was nobody before the fall just another exhausted courier surviving paycheck to paycheck in East London while drowning in debt, family pressure, and a future that never arrived. But when the System awakens inside him, something goes terribly wrong.
CLASS ASSIGNED: LEVEL ZERO.
No combat skills. No stats. No future potential A dead class.
Abandoned during London’s first massacre and hunted by creatures far beyond human understanding, Anderson discovers hidden cracks inside the System itself strange errors, forbidden quests, and impossible rewards connected to a secret the game is desperately trying to bury.
But the deeper he climbs, the more horrifying the truth becomes.
The towers rising across London were never meant to save humanity.
They were built to select what survives after it ends.
Now Anderson must navigate collapsing factions, traitorous survivors, deadly floor trials, and a System that watches every choice he makes. Because somewhere inside the game, someone is manipulating the rules.
And they already know his name.
In a city where trust gets people killed and every victory unlocks something worse, Anderson will have to become stronger than the game itself or lose everyone he has left.
Chapter 1
London looked beautiful when you were too exhausted to hate it.
Rain poured endlessly over the city, turning the streets into rivers of distorted light while neon signs shimmered across wet pavement like broken stars. Black cabs crawled through traffic near Shoreditch. Sirens echoed somewhere beyond the Thames. Drunk office workers stumbled out of pubs laughing too loudly beneath umbrellas turned inside out by the wind.The city was alive.
Cold. Restless. Hungry.
And tonight, it felt like it was watching him.
Anderson Jones pulled his bike to the curb outside a narrow apartment building near Whitechapel Road and checked the delivery app on his cracked phone screen.
DELIVERY COMPLETED.
Balance Updated: £4.72
He stared at the number for a long moment beneath the rain.Four pounds.
After fourteen hours.
A bitter laugh escaped him.
The app chimed again immediately.
NEW DELIVERY AVAILABLE.
Distance: 5.8 miles.
Payment: £2.10
Anderson closed the notification without accepting.
His entire body hurt.
Rainwater soaked through his black jacket and dripped from his sleeves while cold wind sliced through the street hard enough to sting his skin. His knees burned from cycling across half of London since morning. His hands shook slightly from exhaustion as he shoved the phone back into his pocket.
Across the street, a couple argued outside an off-license store while a homeless man slept beneath a broken bus shelter wrapped in wet blankets.Nobody looked happy.
Nobody even looked alive anymore.
That was London’s real secret.
The city didn’t kill people quickly.
It hollowed them out slowly until all that remained was routine.
Anderson unlocked his bike chain and froze when his phone vibrated again.
MUM CALLING.
Guilt immediately twisted inside his chest.
He almost let it ring out.
Almost.
But he answered anyway.
Hey.Static crackled softly through the speaker before his mother’s tired voice arrived.
Andy... are you still working?
He looked up at the dark apartment windows surrounding him.
Yeah.You promised you’d rest tonight.
I know.You always say that.
He had no answer.
Rain hammered harder against the street.
In the distance, thunder rolled across the clouds above the city.
His mother sighed quietly.
Your sister got sent home again today.
Anderson shut his eyes.
Why?
Her asthma got worse during class.
A familiar heaviness settled inside him immediately.
Medication again. Hospital bills again. Another problem waiting for money he didn’t have.
He rubbed rainwater from his face.
I’ll send something tomorrow.
Silence then softly
With what money, Andy?
That one hit harder than it should have.
Because she already knew.
His landlord had threatened eviction last week. His warehouse job barely covered rent. The delivery app kept cutting payments every month.
Anderson was drowning.
And everybody around him could see it.
A police siren screamed past nearby, splashing water across the pavement.
His mother lowered her voice.You sound tired.
I’m fine.The lie came automatically now.
Another silence followed.
Then she spoke again.
Your father used to make that same voice when things were bad.
Anderson’s jaw tightened instantly.
Don’t start.
You can’t keep carrying everything alone.
I said I’m fine.
The words hung there between them.
His mother went quiet.
Guilt stabbed through him immediately.
Before he could apologize, she spoke softly.
Come home soon, okay?
The call ended.
Anderson stood motionless beneath the rain for several seconds afterward.
Then anger hit him suddenly.
Not loud anger.The dangerous kind.
The kind that built slowly over years until it became exhaustion wearing a human face.
He kicked his bike tire violently.
Nothing changed.
Nothing ever changed.Work. Bills. Stress. Repeat.
He looked up toward the towering skyline of London glowing beyond the rain.
Millions of people packed into one city.
And somehow he still felt completely alone.
A loud burst of laughter interrupted his thoughts.
Three suited businessmen stumbled out of a nearby bar carrying drinks and shouting over one another while expensive watches gleamed beneath the streetlights.
One of them bumped into Anderson’s bike
Oil watch it
The man barely glanced at him before laughing drunkenly and walking away.
Invisible.That was what he was.
Just another tired delivery rider nobody noticed unless they needed something brought to their door.His phone buzzed again.
Low Battery: 2%
Perfect.
Anderson unlocked his bike chain and started toward the main road.
Traffic moved slowly through Whitechapel beneath endless rain while buses hissed past glowing storefronts. Somewhere above the city, Big Ben struck twice.
2:00 a.m.
The streets felt strange tonight.
Too quiet.
Even central London seemed subdued beneath the storm clouds pressing heavily over the skyline.
As Anderson cycled past an underground station entrance, he noticed something odd.
People were stopping.
Not all at once.
One by one.
Pedestrians slowed near the sidewalks, glancing upward with confused expressions.
A taxi driver stepped out of his cab.
Two police officers near the station entrance paused mid-conversation.
Everyone was looking at the sky.
Anderson frowned and followed their gaze.
At first he saw nothing except clouds.
Then lightning flashed.
Not white.
Red.
The crimson light spread silently across the heavens above London like veins beneath skin.
People began murmuring nervously.
Another flash.
This time the clouds cracked open.
A jagged scar of glowing red stretched across the sky above the city.
Phones came out immediately.
Someone screamed.
The ground trembled beneath Anderson’s bike tires.
Every streetlight nearby flickered violently.
Then exploded.
Darkness swallowed the street instantly.
Cars screeched to a halt.
The traffic lights died. Storefront signs vanished. Apartment windows went black.
London lost power.
Completely.
A wave of uneasy panic spread through the crowd.
What the hell is happening?!
Oi the grid’s down!
My phone stopped working!
Anderson pulled out his own phone.
The screen glitched violently in his hand before going black.
Then the rain stopped.
Not gradually.
Instantly.
Every droplet froze in midair.
The entire street fell silent.
No engines. No voices. No wind.
Nothing moved.
Anderson’s breathing slowed.
Around him, hundreds of suspended raindrops hung motionless above the city like floating glass.Fear crawled slowly into his chest.
This wasn’t possible.
Then the voice arrived.
WELCOME, PLAYERS.
The sound came from nowhere and everywhere simultaneously.
Cold.Mechanical.
Ancient.People screamed.
Several dropped to their knees instantly.
The sky fracture widened above London, revealing endless darkness beyond the clouds while massive glowing symbols burned across the heavens.
INITIALIZING PLANETARY INTEGRATION.
ERROR DETECTED.
ERROR DETECTED.
ERROR DETECTED.
The voice suddenly distorted.
Like something was interrupting it.
Searching
Searching
Searching.
A violent pain exploded behind Anderson’s eyes.
He staggered backward, nearly collapsing beside his bike as invisible pressure crushed against his skull.
Around him, glowing blue screens appeared before every person on the street.
Transparent windows floated in the air like holograms.
People panicked immediately.
What is this?!Get it off me!
Somebody help
The nearest underground station entrance suddenly erupted.
Concrete exploded outward violently.
Something massive crawled from the darkness below the station stairs.
The creature looked almost human.
Almost.
Its limbs bent incorrectly, stretched far too long beneath pale flesh covered in moving black veins. Its jaw split open vertically, revealing rows of twitching teeth while dozens of glowing eyes opened across its neck.
People froze.
Then the creature smiled.
The massacre started instantly.
It moved faster than human eyes could follow.
One moment it stood near the station entrance.
The next, a businessman’s upper body slid off his legs in a spray of blood.
Screams tore through the street.
Chaos exploded everywhere.
More creatures began crawling from underground tunnels beneath London.
From sewer drains. From alleyways. From inside abandoned cars.
The city erupted into panic.
People ran blindly through the darkness while monsters tore through them like animals unleashed after centuries of starvation.
A woman beside Anderson got dragged screaming beneath a bus.
Blood splashed across the pavement.
A police officer opened fire wildly before a creature ripped his head clean off.
Anderson stumbled backward in horror.
This couldn’t be real.
It couldn’t—
DING.
A blue screen flashed before his eyes.
WELCOME TO THE ETERNAL TRIAL.
FIRST FLOOR ACTIVATED.
SURVIVE.
Then another message appeared beneath it.
CLASS ASSIGNMENT IN PROGRESS...
Nearby, people began shouting excitedly despite the slaughter.
I GOT A KNIGHT CLASS!
WAIT I HAVE MAGIC
LOOK THERE’S STATS
Their screens glowed blue.
Anderson’s glowed red.
WARNING.
SYSTEM CONFLICT DETECTED.
The words flickered violently.
Then the final notification appeared.
CLASS ASSIGNED:
LEVEL ZERO.
Silence filled his head.
Below the words, a single sentence appeared slowly across the screen.
YOU SHOULD NOT EXIST.
And somewhere high above London—
Something enormous opened its eyes.

Billionaire love and pleasure
The Contract Wife: Marriage Of Malice
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.
Ella never imagined she would marry the man she had secretly loved for years in such a way.
When her brother Theo faced twenty-five years in prison for massive embezzlement, the ruthless business tycoon James Lancaster offered her a deal: marry him in exchange for her brother's freedom.
This wasn't a fairy tale proposal, but a carefully orchestrated revenge. Because in James's heart, Ella was the culprit who had killed his sister Cecilia. He wanted her to pay the price—to atone with a lifetime of suffering.

COLD (Ruthless Player)
“Please… Nick, wait.” He pulled out, thrusted back in. “How much? Twenty thousand? Fifty? Hundred?” With every question, he thrust harder and harder. My neurons are frying with the confusing feeling in my brain. Torn between pleasure, fear, and panic. I couldn't utter a single sentence to save my life.
His cold eyes pinned me in place while he plundered my body with deep thrusts, which only added to my confusion. My dumb body mistook the mixed signals, my pussy becoming even wetter than before.
“I hope she'd paid you well, because I'm going to fuck you all night long, hard,” he growled. “Sleep, then do it all over again. I want to feel you come for me, Andrea, want to feel you squeeze my cock, milking me.
Begging for me to give you the high only I can, I'm going to fucked you until I fuck all my wife's money's worth, I want you to remember how hard I took you while you're meeting her.” I sobbed, moaned, and tried to scramble out under him.
“No, please…Nick, let….let me explain.” Nick abruptly pulled out. His eyes were cold but hooded.
Andrea was sent to take down billionaire magnate Nicklaus Montgomery.
Her mission was simple: get close, seduce him, find the proof, and disappear. Instead Andrea finds herself exposed—cornered into signing a contract that binds her to Nicklaus's side as his lover. Now she’s living in his world of wealth, danger, and secrets… and the deeper she falls into his bed, the harder it becomes to remember what side she's on.
Taming Her Playboy Bully
Underwater: The Silent Luna

Even with the suspicion clinging to the proposal, Meadow let herself believe it. She stepped into the marriage blindly, hoping love would fill the quiet spaces of her mute, colourless life.
But the truth comes fast, and cruel.

BROKEN TRUST
Neither of them knew she was carrying his child.
Emily’s affair didn’t just end her marriage—it erased the life she thought was guaranteed. Ryan left without looking back, carrying his anger like armor and leaving Emily alone with regret she would never outrun. Three years later, fate drags them back into each other’s world, along with a little girl who has Ryan’s eyes and a truth that shatters everything he thought he knew.
Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried. As parenthood binds them together and the past demands accountability, Emily and Ryan must face the question neither of them is ready to answer: is broken trust the end of their story… or the beginning of a love forged through loss, forgiveness, and brutal honesty?
The Alpha's Stripper Mate
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
"No touching."

Meanwhile, Alpha Lake Rush, thirty, was the most feared Alpha in the country. Burdened by his own share of life's struggles, he had learned only to be cruel and reckless, rejecting not one but two mates. But what happens when he discovers yet another mate, and she turns out to be his stripper?
