apocalypse

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.

Before the human race ended, Travis had nothing—no food, no shelter, no protection. Just a body wasting away in a dying world. Right at the edge of death, with his breath fading and his bones shaking, he made a silent wish: If I ever return… I’ll change everything. I’ll rise again. From a useless omega slump kid to a respected master. That was his final thought before the darkness claimed him. When he opened his eyes again, Travis found himself in a savage paradise—beautiful yet brutal, ruled by formidable beasts. Creatures that walked like men but killed like monsters. Dangerous. Mindless. Feral. And he, a fragile human omega, was dropped right in the middle of their world. Desperate to survive the packs of bloodthirsty alphas who wanted him for themselves—even if it meant tearing him apart—Travis awakened something deep within him. A cradle space. A mysterious power capable of creating and nurturing life itself. Along with it came a terrifying vision: the so-called paradise would soon crumble under a deadly apocalypse that would consume everything in its path. Armed with nothing but his will, his strange new ability, and a babysitting job for a grumpy lion beast alpha who made it his mission to watch him day and night, coupled with a majestic Dragon who turned to an overbearing protector Travis became the last light of hope in a dying world. Short Excerpt > “You’re mine,” he whispered, voice rough and low as Travis lay in his arms, bloodied and bruised. “Even if the world ends…” his breath was warm against Travis’s skin. “No one can take you away from me.” NOTE: THIS IS MY FIRST TRY ON THIS GENRE, DECIDING TO TAKE A SHORT BREAK FROM TOXIC LOVERS. STILL EXPERIMENTING SO DONT JUDGE AS THIS MY WORLD IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS....

In 2078, an event called The Emergence tore open portals across the world, unleashing deadly creatures from another dimension. Strong, fast, and resistant to human weapons, they pushed humanity to the brink. But the worst came after: new portals, new monsters… and some capable of using abilities that looked like magic. By dissecting them, scientists discovered the truth—these creatures were made of elements unknown to Earth, breaking every law of biology and physics. This discovery sparked a new era where technology fused with magic, and survival depended on understanding this foreign power. Humanity survived the first wave. The next might erase it entirely.

In the year 2025, humans awakened with the ability to summon mighty beasts—capable of destroying terrains, breaking the laws of physics, and creating wonders limited only by one's imagination. But before these blessings came a curse. An alien face appeared from nowhere and threatened all life on the planet, leading to the greatest war in human history. In the aftermath, the human race and the alien race were forced into a shaky treaty that could be broken at any time. Years later, tests for summoning abilities began for the next generation. Those who awakened low-grade summoning would be thrown to the gutters, while those who awakened higher got to join great factions after graduating from the academy. Kairos Veyl, the blank, calculating student, pulled his hand from the massive crystal pillar and stared at the large beast before him. "This kid—he just got a LEGENDARY SUMMON." A legendary summon? The greatest class of summoning. However, with this class came a risk one would have never guessed. #No—Harem

The world ended beneath the Whiteharrow - a frozen, merciless monument to a civilization that couldn't survive its own collapse. For the last humans, every sunrise is a fight for breath, warmth, and survival against the endless cold... and the evolved, deadly fauna lurking in the frost. Solan Reyes, the engineer, thrives on logic, precision, and caution. Every system, every plan is a thread holding his fragile group together. But when technology fails and the frost bites too deep, salvation comes in the form of Kaius Vale - a hunter as lethal as the monsters he tracks, whose brutality is both terrifying and necessary. Forced into a tense, volatile partnership - the Keeper and the Slayer - they must carve a path through frozen ruins to create sanctuary. Every step demands blood, every victory demands sacrifice. In a world buried by ice, the deadliest threat isn't the cold or the beasts behind them... it's the erosion of their own humanity. - WARNING: This story contains graphic violence, intense peril, harsh language, and extreme survival hardships in a frozen, dystopian world. Reader discretion is strongly advised.

Honkai... just how despairing of a disaster is it? In this catastrophe, you can't even protect the people you want to save...

--- In the corpse-strewn ruins of Boston, the only thing more dangerous than the shambling dead are the living who remain. For Natalie, a pragmatic young engineer, survival is a calculated, daily torment. She is infected—a secret she guards with her life. The virus is a ticking clock, a monster whispering in her ear, threatening to erase the person she was and unleash something feral and deadly known as a Runner. Her only anchor is Marcus, her estranged father. Haunted by his failures in their old life, he now clings to a desperate, single-minded mission: find a cure for his daughter. Their fragile existence in a dilapidated apartment, aided by a weary doctor, is a precarious balance of scavenging and hiding from the city’s ruthless factions—the tyrannical Emergency Government Security Force, the slave-taking cult known as The Family, and the fanatical Superhumans who worship the virus as evolution. When a rumor surfaces of a "Whisperer"— another stable infected like Natalie, held in a high-security EGSF lab—it ignites a dangerous spark of hope. Forced to abandon their sanctuary, Natalie and Marcus embark on a harrowing journey across the city. It is a quest that will test their fractured bond to its limits, force Natalie to confront the terrifying power awakening inside her, and reveal that the cure they seek is a phantom. Hunted as a key, a weapon, and a prophet, Natalie must learn that salvation may not lie in becoming human again, but in mastering the monster she is becoming. The path to a future, for herself and for the scattered survivors, will demand a final, terrible price: to stand as the guardian between the world of the living and the world of the dead, and to redefine what it truly means to be human.

If you are looking for a “goody two shoes” protagonist with a hero complex, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. This is an extremely fast paced novel , and the protagonist of this novel is someone who becomes absurdly overpowered. He is also not the usual person who makes decisions that fit the hero complex genre. the villian and antihero tags are not for show. Note for Readers(Please do not skip this): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes, it may remind you of popular works you’ve read—but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities, each adding a unique blend to his path. I included the shadow affinity as a nod to some of my favorite novels, but this is not a copy. The journey, characters, and world are entirely my own.

It is said that a child finds comfort only in their home — their Sanctuary, the only place where they feel safe, loved, and at peace. This is the case for many children, even adults. But unfortunately, It was destined that I would not be one of them. In my own home. Among my family. With the mother who gave birth to me and the siblings who came from the same womb. I have never, not even for one day, felt love or comfort there. My sisters are ashamed of me. My younger brother does not respect me. And my mother? She is the harshest of all. Since I was a child, she has not loved me, cannot stand to see me, and scolds me whenever she does. As I grew up, I became nothing but the family’s disgrace — a moving money box for my mother and my little brother. How many times have I thought about ending my life? How many times have I thought about giving up on this miserable life? People may think I am too dramatic, but — If you have not burned yourself on live coals, how can you feel their heat? No one in this world will ever understand me. But that’s all right. Because I did not give up. Not because I am strong. Not because I am holding on to life. But because of one person. Except this person was not human. Not an animal. Not even a ghost. This person is the final villain in my favorite novel. Years spent following him, reading everything that happened to him. Years spent accompanying him. His existence became my world — my only world. I love him. I adore him. Even if he is not real. Even if he is only a man of paper and ink. I am willing to do anything for him. I would die for him. And then the gods granted me my only wish... Now, I am in his world. And this time, I will save him. Yes, I will do the impossible to save him. I will kill for him and die for him. So, Cassel… This is how madly I love you. How much I am obsessed with you. I am ready to destroy myself and the whole world for you.  ... So, can you look at me?

"When I said I wanted more of Highschool of the Dead... I didn’t mean I wanted to be transported into the story!—A few erotic doujinshi and fan arts of the female leads would’ve been just fine!" Nach Smith, a 24-year-old—freelancer, part-time survival nerd, zombie apocalypse enthusiast, and full-time degenerate pervert—falls asleep in his bed after reading the discontinued manga Highschool of the Dead, only to wake up and find himself inside the story, right at the very beginning. Armed with his knowledge of the plot and an odd collection of skills, Nach will try to survive as an Extra in the story—saving other background characters he’d grown fond of while reading, accompanying the main characters, maybe even stealing a few female leads for himself, or accidentally taking on the protagonist’s role. Along the way, he’ll stumble through R18/Harem/Smut-like escapades—until he either reaches the manga’s unfinished part, wakes up from what he can only assume is a dream... or perhaps continues the story that never got its ending.

After twenty years of living an ordinary life in the world he transmigrated into, Milo is certain that nothing in his life will ever change. His days consist of nothing more than working, going home, and having dinner with his sister and brother-in-law. But everything collapses one morning. He wakes to find his entire neighborhood transformed into a wild expanse of overgrown greenery. The power is out, the water no longer runs, and the world suddenly feels foreign—as if it’s no longer the place he once knew. There are no sirens, no warnings, no news. Instead, strange phenomena unfold: plants turn hostile, animals grow vicious, and massive monsters—whose skeletons he had only ever seen in museums—begin appearing like mushrooms after the rain. Then every slain creature releases a floating card, and that card, when touched, grants abilities no human could ever imagine. Milo is the first to experience it. Upon touching the “Rat” card, his body transforms into a half-human, half-animal form—fast, agile, with a sense of smell far too sharp to be considered normal. But the real danger isn’t the card itself… It's the fact that humans also drop cards when they die. With his unique ability, “Fusion,” Milo can combine cards, weapons, and even everyday objects into far more powerful tools and armaments. Yet that very power makes him a target. In a lawless world, neighbors can turn into enemies, and any encounter can end in murder over a single rare card. And the stronger his ability becomes, the clearer one truth emerges—this disaster is no coincidence. It is merely the beginning… of something far greater.

They told us we were the lucky ones, even as orphans, we were convinced so. Given top-tier training and education at Naver Academy, the world’s most prestigious orphanage. They told us to follow the rules. Excel, graduate with honors, and we would be set for life. But… they lied. Life was never the same after that night. I watched my best friend be consumed by a monster. My sanity crumbled. Reality didn’t feel as simple as it used to be. If it weren't for the System, I too would have died that night. But of what use is the struggle of a coward? I have yielded to my powerlessness for so long, it hurts to breathe. It's mentally draining to want to die, only to fight for tomorrow's survival. I have to, I just have to! They can call me weak, but they will not call me prey. If we be damned, then they too shall be damned!

Aren transmigrates into the body of a dying boy at the very moment the God Trials begin—an event that determines whether a world survives or is erased. Every youth between fifteen and twenty-five awakens a power, as the new generation that will enter the Trials. If the challengers die or fail, the entire world is wiped out. When Aren awakens, he gains an ability never seen before: Shadow—the power to devour foes, summon their shadows, steal their memories, and command an endless army born from darkness. In the very first Trial, he consumes a monster carrying a memory shard that reveals the hidden truth behind the God Trials… and why Aren’s existence in this world is a cosmic mistake. The gods want him erased. But Aren has already begun to consume their secrets.

This time he would hunt and devour. With years of knowledge of every exploit, every secret quest, every bugged mechanic, he will climb straight to the top. Armed with the blood of the first Vampire King, he was an apex predator now who stood at the very top. However, unbeknownst to him, a catastrophe lurks in the shadows. Damon finds out that the game itself might not be as simple as it seemed and the entire future of the humanity might depend on this game.

If mercy and kindness can't save the world, then this time, I choose violence. I was reborn in death, like sin under the blazing sun.——Ethan Cole Huff... What’s going on? There’s a flight attendant with a D-cup sleeping next to me!? Did I really get reborn!? Back to fifteen days before the zombie apocalypse game starts!? [Ding! Congratulations, lucky one!

Ethan Moriarty was once a kind orphan who ended up betrayed and murdered by the little sister he always protected. When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself in a completely different world, a brutal martial realm where strength rules everything.
