Doomsday Paradise: Watch Me Conquer The Apocalypse

"Xander, help me!" Olivia Douglas cried as she stared at the huge swarm of zombies closing in. All the color had drained from her face.

But Xander Blake didn't even stop. The white-haired man walked straight past Olivia and stepped in front of another woman instead, shielding her from danger.

"What are you doing now?" he asked with a frown. "Do you realize Hayley almost got hurt because of you?"

Olivia's breath caught. She quickly looked toward Derek Quinn, whose bright red hair made him easy to spot even from a distance. "Derek, I hurt my ankle. I can't walk. Please, help me..."

Derek gave her a cold, almost amused smile and didn't make the slightest move toward her. Instead, the tall man crossed the distance in a few quick strides and stopped beside Xander. "Domina, you can stop pretending to be helpless. It's not going to make us pay attention to you."

From the other side, Jacob Cooke came over. The muscular man had brown hair, and the look he gave Olivia was openly mocking. "Domina, we already warned you how dangerous these missions are. You can't protect yourself, and all you do is slow everyone down. But you wouldn't listen. You're the one who insisted on coming anyway."

Beneath the dark, chaotic sky, all three striking men stood around Hayley Douglas. Her long hair framed her beautiful face while Xander, Derek, and Jacob looked toward Olivia with nothing but contempt.

None of them said another word. They escorted Hayley to the armored off-road vehicle parked nearby, and then headed toward the second vehicle waiting behind it.

"Quit pretending and keep up on your own, Domina," Derek called back without bothering to turn around.

From the window, Hayley looked at Olivia and gave her a smug smile. "Seriously, Olivia? You're a terrible domina."

Hayley was the Douglas family's biological daughter. She had only recently been found and brought home, and she was also the one who had revealed that Olivia wasn't really a Douglas. Ever since then, Olivia had become someone everyone looked down on.

Yellow dust billowed into the air. For a moment, Olivia could barely see anything. Then the ground seemed to shake. The zombies rushed toward her.

Their savage roars filled the air. With her injured ankle, Olivia couldn't even take a proper step. Despair finally swallowed what little hope she had left. Her body went slack, and she shut her eyes.

But only a second later, Olivia opened them again. The panic in her gaze was gone. Something cold and determined had taken its place.

When the first zombie lunged at her, Olivia kicked it hard enough to send it flying. Another came at her almost immediately. She grabbed a dry branch from the ground and drove it straight through the creature's throat. Rotten blood sprayed everywhere.

Her body had reacted before she could even think. Her mind, however, was a complete mess. Wait. What the hell was going on?

Just a moment ago, she'd been in the middle of nowhere digging for rare medicinal herbs. How the hell had she ended up here?

More zombies kept pouring in. The sickening smell of rotting flesh hung thick in the air. Some of the creatures staggered forward with parts of their skulls missing and their brains exposed, while others dragged themselves across the ground toward her.

Olivia swept her gaze across the area until she spotted an off-road vehicle parked nearby.

She didn't waste another second. Olivia ran for it, yanked the door open, jumped inside, and slammed it shut behind her.

Only after she was safely in the vehicle did she notice the three men sitting up front.

A sudden stab of pain shot through her head. Olivia squeezed her eyes shut as a flood of unfamiliar memories crashed into her mind.

She had transmigrated. Somehow, she'd ended up in an interstellar world where men vastly outnumbered women. Even worse, she'd become the fake heiress of a legion commander on an apocalyptic planet.

The original Olivia had awakened a D-rank spiritual core, which was the lowest possible rank for a woman. Then Hayley returned. As the Douglas family's true heiress, Hayley had awakened an SSS-rank spiritual core, something so rare that it might only appear once in several centuries. The moment she came back, everything the original Olivia had once had began slipping away.

Her three esper husbands were no exception. They had all fallen for Hayley and spent nearly all their time looking after her. They even acted as though they were saving themselves for her. Still, there were rules they couldn't ignore. Male status on this planet was far below that of females. At twenty, men were forced into mandatory spouse matching, and they weren't allowed to dissolve the bond themselves. They also couldn't physically betray their domina. If their domina died, they would be erased with her. Those restrictions were the only reason they had kept their feelings under control and hadn't crossed the line with Hayley.

They gladly used the resources their domina provided, but they wouldn't let her touch them. Because of that, the original Olivia had tried everything she could to please them. Sometimes, she even used petty tricks just to get their attention.

They saw through her every time, though. Instead of getting closer to her, they only hated her more.

Olivia pressed her lips together. What the hell kind of twisted reversal of roles was this?

She looked at the three ingrates in front of her, and a mocking smile tugged at her lips.

Xander frowned when he saw her getting inside the car. "So your ankle suddenly works now, Domina?"

Derek gave her a careless glance, and his wicked smirk deepened. "See? I told you guys. Our domina might not be good at much, but she sure knows how to put on a show."

The burly, brown-haired Jacob looked at her with clear annoyance. "And she still thinks she can compare to Hayley."

Olivia clicked her tongue.

These three really had some nerve.

Olivia pointed at them. "Wait. You three are supposed to be my husbands, right?"

She honestly couldn't believe them. They were supposed to protect her, yet all they ever did was criticize her and rush to Hayley's defense. Hayley had only recently been brought back to the Douglas family, but they were already acting like she mattered more than their own domina.

Olivia sneered before adding, "You obviously want Hayley instead of me, so why keep pretending? You want me to break the match so you can go be her husbands, don't you?"
