apocalypse

When the world casts you aside, the ultimate comeback begins. Soren was branded a worthless, unawakened dud, a family embarrassment with no future. Ethea was the legendary Ice Empress, now left paralyzed after a catastrophic Gate incident. Cast out by their families, they were forced into an arranged marriage, abandoned and disowned. Their families assumed they were finished, but fate had other plans. That very wedding night, Soren awakens a unique power: the Investment Authority. Risk his life to save hers? Get Supreme grade returns. Help her cultivate again? Gain an equal amount of experience immediately. Cook and feed her? Become the world’s most skilled chef. Through his devotion, Ethea slowly transforms from a broken doll into something that surpasses even her legendary past. And Soren? The "worthless" unawakened trash becomes the most dangerous investor the world has ever seen. Their families wanted to forget them. The world dismissed them as failures. They're about to learn that the greatest returns come from investing in someone everyone else deemed worthless. "You threw us away. Now watch us rise." _______ _____ _ Author's Note: Hey everyone!

“The boogeyman of Outer Gods, protector of Earth, humanity’s last stand—Miratheris’s son has returned.” I was drowning in sloth. The color of life had drained from my eyes, leaving only shades of grey. Doing anything felt like punishment. Looking for a job? A laughable idea. I did everything I could to stay disconnected from reality. Gambling. Drinking. Even suicidal stunts. Anything to escape the numbness that clawed at my mind for even a second. But everything comes at a cost. I abandoned my family. Broke the heart of the only woman who ever loved me. And wasted every damn day like it didn’t matter. I became the kind of man society throws out with the trash. But life didn’t spare me. Not even when I hit rock bottom. Deceived, shackled, and sold into another world— I spent the rest of my days as a slave. Forced to fight monsters ripped straight out of myth. At the very end, all I could do… was wish. Just one more chance. One shot to make things right. … Born a prodigy, Ashen Hart moved through life like a golden boy. What others worked for, he mastered with ease. At first, it felt like a blessing. The validation, pride, and accomplishment felt sweet. But even honey spoils when you’re drowning in it. The more success he tasted, the more hollow it all became. And when a mysterious power awakened within him, letting him see moments into the future— The world lost all color. And then all meaning… Nothing could surprise him. Nothing could move him. He spiraled. Ashen threw it all away—ambition, love, purpose— and embraced the slow death of apathy. But fate wasn’t done with him. Kidnapped by a shadowy organization and forced into a hidden war, he learned a truth: he wasn’t special. He was fodder. Cannon meat to delay the inevitable. But somewhere, buried beneath sloth and cynicism, the genius stirred. The apathy rotted away. And Ashen Hart, the failure, became Ashen Hart, the wretched. The unkillable. From a discarded pawn to the final hope of mankind. And when it was over—when even the gods had fallen— he was left alone. At his dying breath, the Earth’s spirit, Miratheris, answered his plea. She rewound time, giving him one last shot. But not without a price. She kept his memories intact… and delayed their return just enough so his younger self could bear the weight. Ashen’s second life begins now— and the monsters, both within and beyond, are about to learn what regret truly feels like. ═══⟲══════⟲══════⟲═══ All chapters are unlocked.

Leng Pan never expected her late-night rant after reading a book about the apocalypse to change her life forever. Frustrated by the sheer stupidity of the second female lead in the novel; Apocalypse Rebirth', she criticized her tragic death, and the character’s blind loyalty to the female lead. But when Leng Pan wakes up, she finds herself inside the very novel; as the second female lead! She realizes she had transmigrated into the novel on the day she’s meant to hand over the jade bangle with a space to the so-called “best friend” who would betray her. With only seven days left before the world falls into chaos, Leng Pan refuses to follow the script. Instead of giving up her greatest advantage, she uses it to stockpile supplies, distances herself from the scheming reborn heroine, and most importantly; fights for the love of the male lead who once died trying to save her. Armed with foreknowledge, Leng Pan will change her fate. No more being used as a stepping stone. No more tragic endings. This time, she will survive. And she will thrive, even in the apocalypse. But what happens when the butterfly effect of her transmigration changes the script? Will her plans fail to keep up with the changes or will she rise above the author’s imagination and write her own story with the man who would kill and die for her?

The world ended the day God descended. The Human Emperor vanished. His nine subordinates fell. And the seas began to rot, filling the air with a corrosive stench of decay. Grey awakens in a world where cultivation is war—and mercy is extinction. Ancient techniques twist the body. Forbidden arts consume the soul. And divinity hunts anything that dares to rise. But within Grey’s heart lies something even the Gods did not foresee... A path beyond light and darkness. A path of Nihility, where inner realities fracture the heavens, and existence itself can be rewritten. If he ascends, the Gods will fall. If he fails, the world will drown in its own decay. In a world abandoned by heaven, he will either ascend. Or become the end of all things

An occult madman named Kal Black summoned the death creatures from the realm of darkness to destroy humanity. These are reminiscent of the Echoes of “Bird Box”, but they can shapeshift into any form, human or animal, and could make humans suicidal. Any human who resisted it will be killed by them with weapons. Kal also used his dark magic to make his subordinates, the figures of dystopian fictions, to make his reign of terror more terrifying. However, after the death of the last human, a French-Spanish young man named Francisco Alissenda, the Big Bosses and the death creatures snapped out of their darkness, and they turned on Kal, deposed him, and threw him to the Abyss of Darkness. After that, they buried and cremated the dead humans and restored everything back to normal, rejecting dystopian themes and brutalism. This is the start when spirits of dead humans like Francisco remained on Earth to guide the former creatures of occult darkness who were grieving for their souls and continuing their human societies for them. They began to eat, drink, and do things for the souls of the fallen. The Spirit world and Earth had a connection. Follow the world in its post-Abyss Era that spanned a long time.

With the Construction Yard deployed and a functioning base established, he now commands an army that does not tire, does not falter, and does not run out of ammunition. But a base is only the beginning. Beyond the industrial sector lies Grefort City—a hundred-kilometer expanse drowning in millions of infected. Hive clusters lurk beneath its streets, evolving with every passing day. And somewhere within its depths, the truth behind the zombie virus and Project HELIX waits to be uncovered. To secure his foothold, Hans must do more than defend. He must expand. Strategic facilities must be captured. Power grids must be restored. Entire districts must be reclaimed—one block at a time.

What is a monster? Humans normally define monsters as fear inducing, bloodthirsty creatures bent on destruction. But to Noah? Monsters were the humans who despised him without justifications, who taught him to loathe himself just for being human. Life was hell, a hell that was surrounded by “monsters”. Until one day, the world changed. Humans were suddenly graced by a Divine voice, one that warned of their extinction, but also promised them power. They were bestowed with a system, a system to aid their fight for survival, to survive against monsters. And when humanity was given that chance to survive, Noah chose to walk a path of a tamer, to befriend the very monsters that were threatening the humans' extinction. As he tamed the monsters, learned from them, bonded with them, shedding the last remnants of what it was to be human. Noah began to wonder, is it wrong to be considered a monster? Feedback is definitely appreciated, good or bad, let's make the story good together. I would like to note that the main character isn’t completely ruthless, he's more chaotically neutral. There’s a lot of good stories out there with ruthless, bloodthirsty, cold hearted main characters so if that’s what your interest in then I’m sorry to disappoint you.

༺❘✦ (18+) ✦❘༻ Ryo thought moderating online fan drama about Llewellyn, the world's most famous hero, was the worst part of his job... What he didn't expect was the System deciding his online arguments counted as combat experience and dropping him into a magical apocalypse with Llewellyn himself! He also didn't expect the Internet to start shipping them! And he certainly didn't expect the System's idea of "combat partner" to involve an absurd amount of physical contact disguised as Healing Bonuses, shared body heat, Dungeon environments that look like dates, or being randomly teleported onto Llewellyn's lap! Llewellyn might be the strongest person on Earth, but he has no one to watch his back. Luckily for him, Ryo has had to deal with his unhinged online following for years… and he is more than willing to get his hands dirty in person. ━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━ Content Note: The rating goes up as the story progresses!

Then came a sudden meteor shower, crashing down and spreading a strange virus that turned most of humanity into the walking dead. When Hans opened his eyes again, the world was gone. Countless cities drowned in silence, streets crawling with millions to billions of zombies. Just as he thought it was over, a familiar sound echoed in his head. [ Welcome, Commander. Establishing battlefield control... Stand by. ]

Chicago, Illinois— 2016. Adrian Carter’s life was ordinary: school, friends, a girlfriend he thought he understood. Then, without warning, the world collapsed.

And she has her own violent ideas of love, protection, and ownership. Trapped in a city gone mad, Adrian must fight to survive the outbreak, navigate a world drenched in blood, and cling to what remains of his humanity—before he loses himself completely… or becomes something Lila refuses to let escape.
