Stained Glass
By @Hive
Seventeen-year-old Bliss is beautiful, brilliant, and utterly broken. After dying a horrific death in the glass-shattering apocalypse that mutated Earth into a savage wasteland, she wakes up in her pre-apocalypse bedroom, one month before the end times. This time, she didn't come back alone. Her high-tier Survival System has reincarnated with her, granting her exclusive early access to the Golden Finger shop before the world even knows what a zombie core is. Haunted by the agonizing betrayal of her past life, Bliss makes a chilling vow: to survive, she will trust no one. Armed with advanced cultivation techniques, magic, and enchanted weaponry, she will butcher anything and anyone - be it rivals, innocent bystanders, or even her own family - to secure her path to absolute godhood. As the sky begins to crack like stained glass, Bliss starts her cold-blooded descent into becoming the world's most beautiful monster.

Stained Glass
By @Hive
Bliss remembers the precise flavor of her own blood pooling on the shattered pavement. In her past life, her naive trust in her family and friends during the sudden, system-integrated apocalypse got her butchered for a handful of zombie cores. Now, she wakes up in her teenage body, weeks before the sky shatters. This time, her post-apocalyptic system has reincarnated with her, granting her exclusive early access to the shop, occult magic, and cultivation paths before the rest of humanity even hears the first siren. Bliss resolves to shed every drop of her former humanity. To survive the impending end times, she will manipulate, betray, and slaughter anyone who stands in her way - whether they are innocent bystanders, desperate children, or her own flesh and blood. In a world of stained glass, she will be the one who shatters everyone else to piece together her own crown of absolute power.

The Thousand Lives Ledger
By @Egor Dushanin
In the crumbling fortress-city of Veridian, where towering walls guard against the ravenous blighted wastes of Eidolon Reach, Aren Veyr ekes out a meager existence. The world, scarred by the Sundering and stalked by monstrous abominations, offers little hope. But then, Aren awakens the Thousand Lives Ledger, a relic of impossible power. With it, he can simulate entire lifetimes, honing skills, mastering professions, and acquiring legendary gear, all to bring a single, coveted reward back to his reality. Yet, each simulated existence incurs a terrifying cost: Paradox Debt, a cosmic ledger demanding repayment as alternate versions of himself begin to manifest in Eidolon Reach. Aren, cautious and morally flexible, must now navigate a world he seeks to dominate, haunted by the echoes of his choices and the burgeoning threats from his own simulated pasts. His ambition clashes with the terrifying ramifications of his cheat, threatening to unravel not just his life, but the very fabric of reality itself.
