Sixteen-year-old Sarah Dullard lives in the New York of the roaring twenties, spending her summers at the luxurious Arlington Hotel, where her parents work.

But the summer of 1928 brings something different. First, the arrival of Peter Arlington, the owner's son. He's handsome, kind, and comes with a myriad of scandals behind him. And second, a mystery, just like the ones that Sarah reads in her pulp magazines. After a birthday party thrown by Peter, his friend, Will, disappears, starting a chain of dangerous events that reveal that something bad is happening inside the hotel.

While her parents try to calm the guests, Sarah and Peter try to find answers to what is happening. What those answers will reveal is a connection to a folk professor and the legend of a demon from the land of the rising sun.

Global natural disasters: I still have ten billion in my bank card

In the last days, natural disasters such as heavy rain, extreme cold, intense heat, floods, and insect plagues have been staged one after another, causing the number of human beings on Earth to decline sharply, mutant monsters to run rampant, and lairs everywhere are built with cities that were once prosperous places for human beings, and high-rise buildings are like cliffs, covered with human bones. Yun Yang survived in this world of cannibalism and monsters eating people, running around major bases just to retrieve his son, and finally suffocated and died tragically at the hands of monsters. When she woke up, she was reborn seven days before the end of the world, her son was still an infant, she accidentally obtained space and her ex-husband's tens of billions of inheritance, and began to stock up wildly. The goal is to spend tens of billions to fill the space. Lobster, chips, ravioli, Orleans chicken drumsticks, grouper... Flying in the sky and the upper reaches of the earth, there is everything in the Yun yang space. When others were still struggling to survive, Yun Yang had already taken the cub to open the food broadcast mode. In this life, she just wants to take her cub to live well in the last days! PS: In the early stage, the female protagonist took the cub to survive, but when there is no CP to watch, the male protagonist appears in the later stage, and the male protagonist's identity has a surprise!
Captive

"I need to go," I mumbled. Before I could take another breath, he had me pinned against the wall. "You aren't going to move another inch," his voice grew husky, and I watched his crystal blue eyes begin to cloud. "Your majesty," I began. I felt the knots in my stomach tangle further at his close proximity. "Let me make one thing very clear, love, I am the king here, and I and I alone am in charge. You are going to be a queen, and a queen cannot rule without her king."^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Cyan grew up a human girl in a land now ruled by the were-people. She grew up safe, protected, but determined to stay far away from the people who kept her safe. But when the Royal Court holds a ball in honor of the new King's coronation, guess who got dragged along? Damien grew up a powerful man in an equally powerful world. As the newly crowned Alpha King, he made it his job to find his queen. The only thing stronger than fear is love, but fear is a captivating devil.__________________

Cut the Power

0 (it's easier to just use the first #) is the main character. He is in high school and he is basically a typical guy, who is really interested in science. He likes the genetics stuff. On a body switch day, he gets switched with 4, the prettiest and smartest girl in his grade. Just his luck. Btw they don't get names until they have a family and kids. There are so many humans on their new planet (Io maybe has been terra formed, already on plane of ecliptic) that its easier to just number them rather than name all of them. But when he does get a name he wants it to be Adam since it sounds like Atom. Anywho, on body switch day he's really confused because transgender switches are not really allowed. He's heard stories of how transgender switched students have had their day then disappeared but he doesn't know if its true. It is. He and 4 get taken to a special lab where they are offered all sorts of promises and credits and stuff, and 0 starts to think he might be attracted to 4, and when will they get their bodies back anyhow? 4 doesn't like being male either, but they kiss at one point and its very quick, but very sweet, and then they go back to testing. Biggest question is whether or not they will ever escape especially once they find out about the sinister nature of the lab, although 0 doesn't want to believe it since he's so happy there. Also will they ever get back to how they think of themselves. 0 doesn't believe 4 at first but she convinces him and once they escape into the "wild"(lab is in middle of nowhere) they don't have their bodies back. They run away and try to find civilisation and once they do they switch back. Subplot-antagonist will be 3, who is mentioned at the top, and he is 0's friend, but when 0 gets special opportunities, 3 is running those, since he had prime knowledge of the specimen. Yeah, specimen. It's horrible and impartial and impersonal, but that's science.
