apocalypse

Marcus Hale dies on a nameless road in a world already ending. When he wakes again on August 27, 2010, the world has not yet fallen—but Marcus remembers everything. The riots. The lies. The walkers. The way humanity collapses faster than infrastructure ever could. He also awakens changed: enhanced beyond human limits, carrying Deathstroke-level physical and cognitive capabilities, accelerated healing, and a bound extradimensional storage space that allows him to carry an entire future inside himself. This time, Marcus does not panic. He prepares.

"I became a Warlock in a world approaching its end. They say it is a class that grows stronger by feeding on the blood, tears, and despair of others. ...But doesn't the world seem overflowing with despair already?"

The Academy was built to protect humanity's future. When the world collapsed, it became their cage Author notes: story is evolving, so please bear with it, I will fix little details or expand new plots in revision.

When The Vanishing began, Alden’s friend disappeared before his eyes. Then his brother, and then apparently nearly half of all mankind next. At the same time, practically all technology from guns and nukes to phones and plumbing mysteriously stopped working. Most who vanished didn’t return - presumably dead in whatever hell hole they’d found themselves transmigrated to. But the ones that did return came back powerful - from Demigods to Saints. The Vanishing can happen to anyone, anywhere and at anytime. With the time difference of the two worlds not being the same. While half a day passes on earth, millennia pass in the other. It can even occur to some people multiple times while to others zero. As you’d expect, the whole world completely changed overnight. The wife you went to bed with last night came back, just a few hours later, as a 3,000 year old Immortal being. Your child who you just helped get dressed this morning welcomes you back from work as an Emperor of some grand dynasty. The life and death enemy who had barely slipped by last time? Now a Saint of slaughter out for vengeance to those who’d wronged him. But that’s not necessarily an issue for Alden, it’s just that while everyone around him was busy becoming a god. He seemed to have been forgotten?? His best friend returned as an odd mix of Warrior and King. Some girl he trained for a bit, and seemed to have unknowingly charmed, awakened to becoming an angel with transcended powers. But, of course not all those Alden knew returned mighty, his brother’s whereabouts still being unknown. Yet Alden had nothing, no vanishing to become Supreme in another world and no awakening in this one either. And most unfortunate of all was that he had been diagnosed with an unknown heart condition just days prior to the world ending. He had no idea how long this heart will last him, but if he’s going to die in this hell, he’ll die finding out what happened to his brother. Even if it means having to lead and manipulate armies of supernatural beings, awhile staying just a normal human. And at the back of his mind, Alden had a sneaking suspicion that the man wearing his best friends face wasn’t entirely his best friend anymore. The powers gained in the other world had a price? Who could’ve guessed? CONTENT WARNING: The MC has no supernatural abilities for the first few volumes. I purposefully made him a mundane powerless to raise the stakes of the apocalyptic survival. But what I can promise is that when the MC finally does get his power, that it will be earned through great suffering and greater sacrifice.

Kieran Akane logs into Parallel and makes one choice that changes everything: he picks vampire. Power comes with hunger. Survival comes with restraint. And the system offers no guidance on how to balance either. Kieran doesn’t chase glory, titles, or control. He moves carefully, learns quietly, and leaves consequences behind him. Towns notice. Factions keep records. The system watches—sometimes too closely. As the world deepens and the rules begin to fray, strength stops being something you gain and starts becoming something you endure. Parallel isn’t about winning the game. It’s about what survives when the rules stop behaving. If you like this novel check out Lucid's Nightmare.

In a world broken by an ancient disaster, humans rule and beasts are enslaved. Humans dominate through mana and matrices, refined into rigid systems that decide status, survival, and worth. Beasts live beneath them, bound by collars and chains, their strength reduced to raw Instinct and obedience. Two races. Two paths. One order that was imposed. Until something changes. A hundred years ago, a meteor tore through the sky, carrying a dragon’s roar and a destiny that did not belong to this world. What fell was not whole, and what survived was never meant to remain divided. A human child is born in the most oppressed of places. But something inside him is wrong. His instincts push him to act when others hesitate. Power around him fails in unfamiliar ways. And neither human Matrix nor beast Instinct fully claims him, as if something essential has been displaced rather than lost. As he grows, he is drawn toward Scars, places where the world itself has been damaged, and toward echoes that feel distant yet intimately his. Each step forward brings fragments of understanding, never enough on their own, always pointing elsewhere. Every advance forces a choice: submit, break, or become something the world cannot classify. This is a story of survival in a world built on hierarchy. Of power born from failure rather than perfection. And of an identity shaped by absence as much as presence. In a world that enslaves beasts and controls humans, something divided has begun to move. And when what was scattered begins to return, this world will no longer be enough. ================================== Discord: https://discord.gg/3q2GJdk27D

For eleven years, Ishaan Reed wrote a novel no one read— a world of labyrinths, monsters, and gods who toy with fate. Then the sky split open… and his forgotten story became reality. The “protagonist” he once created, Kael Arathis, now leads the charge—brilliant, powerful, and shining like a hero. Beside him, Ishaan should have been nothing more than a background character. Until a line appeared before his eyes: [Sentence: Ishaan Reed died here.] [Rewrite? Y/N] Now, reality itself is his manuscript. Every death, every defeat, every ending can be rewritten. To the gods, he is just another pawn. To Kael, he is a fraud stealing victories. But to Ishaan, this is the one story he refuses to abandon. Titles will be earned. Rules will be broken. And the script written by the gods… will be shattered. Can the Script Breaker survive until the final chapter—or will even his rewrites be erased?

Sebastian, a Tier-9 Warlord and humanity's last stand, died fighting the Void Monarch, only to wake up in his cramped apartment exactly one year before the "Great Merge"...the day the game {The Ethereal Plane} consumes reality and destroys Earth. Knowing the horror that is to come, he logs in to prepare, only to select the "Drifter"... a trash class with zero stat bonuses that makes him the laughingstock of the entire server. But just as the system attempts to load his corrupted data from the future, a critical error occurs. [Ding! System Glitch Detected!] [Compensation Awarded: Infinite Skill Points!] While other players grind for weeks to save a single point, Sebastian has an endless supply. [You learned (Basic Spark)] "Too weak," Sebastian mutters, watching the alpha wolf lunge. "I need a sun." [100 Skill Points Invested...] [Evolution: Fireball (Tier 1)] "Hotter." [1,000 Skill Points Invested...] [Evolution: Pyroblast (Tier 2)] "More." Skill Point draining like water into a black hole until the text flickers from blue to a menacing, pulsating gold. [10,000 Skill Points Invested...] [Warning: Mortal Limit Reached.] [Constructing Law of Fire...] [Congratulations! Skill Evolved into Forbidden Spell: Solar Flare!] While others cast tiny fireballs, Sebastian snaps his fingers and unleashes the thermal power of a miniature sun. [You learned (Basic Sneak)] [10,000 Skill Points Invested!] [Congratulations! Skill Evolved into Divine Art: Void Walk!] While tanks rely on heavy armor, Sebastian walks through reality itself, becoming an untouchable ghost who ignores all damage. Armed with a resource that defies the laws of the game, Sebastian’s path to domination is absolute. Mocked for his ragged starter clothes?

But the game is just the beginning. As the synchronization rate increases, Sebastian brings his God-tier powers into the real world. From slaughtering the first wave of monsters in his apartment hallway to hunting down "Saints" invading from other dimensions, Sebastian isn't just trying to survive the apocalypse. He’s going to own it. Follow Sebastian as he builds the ultimate Sanctuary, enslaves gods, and rewrites the laws of the universe. The tutorial is over. Now, the real game begins.

In the Wasteland of Aldria, survival is not heroic . it is habitual. Jason lost his parents to a monster attack long before he understood what strength meant. He grew up learning a simpler rule instead: if something can be saved, it should be saved. Not because it is right, but because living with loss is heavier than risk. Now living in the city, Jason survives on small work, careful choices, and the belief that no help is ever free. The Wasteland rewards neither courage nor caution consistently only those who endure long enough to understand its cost. A system exists in this world. It records growth. It assigns levels and numbers. But it does not explain itself, does not guide, and does not protect. Strength comes slowly, unevenly, and often too late. As Jason becomes entangled with guilds, politics, ruins, and people who each want something different from him, every decision narrows his future sometimes quietly, sometimes permanently. Some paths lead to survival. Some to influence. Some to death. The world does not pause for understanding. It only moves forward, carrying what remains.

Fuck my family… The thought was the first thing to stroke into Ryckel's mind. His breath hitched, the warmth of his own exhalation bouncing off a hard surface and dampening his skin. Ugh… did I sleep with my gas mask on again? Ryckel's muscles groaned as he raised a heavy hand. His fingers brushed against the cool, unforgiving metallic surface of the filters. It was a familiar sensation, yet the pain that accompanied the movement was not. His body felt heavy, like a sculpture made of lead. Every fiber was screaming against his attempt to wake. Ryckel tried to shift his weight, but the world didn't push back. There was no bed. No floor. The air was soft, a gentle wind teasing his skin, tempting him to drift back into sleep. But then he felt the sickening lack of gravity. His body was slowly swaying. Ryckel snapped his eyes open. He wasn't in his bed. He was dangling over an abyss. Two thick, black coils were wrapped tightly around his chest and thighs, holding him like a macabre display. All around him, there was nothing but a claustrophobic mist of red. ------ Shout out to @scholarofyore0 for helping me out with the power system, really appreciate it. Also my release schedule is 2 chapters every weekday and just 1 chapter every weekend Do note, the prose style in my work reflect the POV of the chapter and yes, there would be POVs apart from Ryckel's. The prose style(s) would still be easy to read and understand. Like Ryckel's POV is more art based because he's actually an artist. The auxiliary chapter isn't also compulsory. If you like an aux chap that details the world and everything then it's for you. But if you don't, then you can just read the story itself. Info and all that would still be revealed naturally. Do be warned though, the aux chap is written and structured in a way that many writers on here don't normally do...

On June 29, 2125, the apocalypse occurred on the very day of the launch of an artificial intelligence satellite launched by a world-class company called Pandora Tech. The purpose of this AI-based satellite was to control the world's automated electronic systems, including all internet networks, services, and free Wi-Fi. However, an hour after launch, the satellite returned to Earth and transformed everything—from machines, plants, animals, and humans—into half-zombie, half-robot monsters. A 17-year-old boy who experienced this event was rescued by a system and returned to the morning before the apocalypse. Having failed to save those closest to him, the system finally unlocked and gave him the power to become a werewolf, absorbing souls to transform them into Shadow Wolves. Afterward, he began to survive in the post-apocalyptic world alone, with only half his humanity and soul remaining, having failed to carry out a mission he knew nothing about. This is a war of survival between mysticism and magic against technology. Will he save the world or destroy it?

Would you give up your humanity in exchange for power? To never die, a chance to be a god? Humans had lost all will to try. Their existence had been reduced to a single, self-destructive purpose: to entertain and please the cosmic gods, known as Forces, in hopes of gaining a 'favour'. After 7 years of these continuous deadly games that suddenly appeared, the Earth we know is no more. Now an apocalyptic playground for the Forces to enjoy. To survive in this ruined world, every single player is compelled to participate in these weekly deadly games. All to win prizes, be granted one of the four Paths designed for Awakeners— those who earned ‘their’ affection and favour. Until Fateless, a ‘humble’ wanted thief, stumbled upon a unique Force, one of the creators of the games. It was then he discovered the grim truth behind his name - 'Fateless' - deemed worthless and discarded at birth, exempt from all four Paths. Consumed by despair and hate, he took a risk and accepted a proposal from a shady cosmic god, granting him a fifth Path, giving him the ability to absorb human life essence to grow stronger, all for a small price. [ “I shall grant you the Fifth Path.” ] [ “The Path of Insanity.” ] [ “No mortal seeks forever without unraveling. Madness is the toll, the tariff paid at the gate.”] [ “You will no longer fear death. Nor die of age. Nor plague. Nor wounds that mortal hands deliver.” ] [ “But immortality is fed… not gifted.” ] [ “Just a tiny tithe. 10% of your humanity.” ] ‘What more is there to lose a bit of humanity, anyway? It only drags one down from their full potential. I could do just about anything without being bound to death. Anything… What a thrill it would be to spit on these cosmic slugs' faces.’

No..no..no!... This shouldn't be happening to me, why did I receive the symptoms of this curse at this age!? Nyxar's twenty years old young man, who never wished for power in this apocalypse world, but life not goes always go as we wish time always has different plan. And such terrible plan was Nyxar's delayed awakening to curse evolution. The power he possessed was not deadly not op but something that's going to ruin his life. After the nature's curse apocalypse, everything was destroyed and reborn, transforming into a hell for humans and a paradise for other creatures. The living beings, aided by the curse, underwent monstrous evolution and occupied the entire world. To protect themselves from these evolved creatures, people lived in large underground cities, creating settlements by excavating large caves and tunnels inside mountains. Then it happened: humans too gained the power of the curse, and with its help, they began to fight to reclaim their lost territory.

Ren had just reached his home when a burning rune ignited beneath his feet. "What the fuck—" Those were his last words before he found himself in Ashenhold — a world devoured by the apocalypse. Creatures roamed the lands as humans received a chance to defy their fate. In this burning hell full of nothing but despair, Ren was chosen by the Ultimate Paragon System. [VOID VISION UNLOCKED!] [DOMAIN OF OBLIVION UNLOCKED!] [OBLIVION INTEGRATION UNLOCKED!] With his Army of Oblivion, he fought endlessly. Not for power, not for glory, but for only one goal: survival. Completely unaware that his true battle lies in the secrets of the past.

Beneath skies forever choked with clouds and seas that corrode flesh, a dead god casts its shadow over the world. Amid the fog of ancient human history and despair, a silent shadow rose, casting doubt over the world itself. Grey suddenly awakens in a realm of infighting, bizarre techniques, secret arts, magic artifacts, and forbidden cultivation methods. Life and death have lost all meaning, and only the strong survive. When Grey awoke, the Human emperor had vanished from the second continent, and his nine subordinates crumbled in the wake of God’s invasion. In this world of constant danger, one figure stands out, a threat so great that even Gods and Death hesitate. Who is this cultivator? The bane of divinity? The one who will unravel the mysteries of Fate and carve a path through chaos? This is the story of a young boy, into the world of cultivation.

A thousand years ago, humanity faced extinction. The dead. All the dead since the dawn of time rose and reclaimed the land of the living. Civilization burned. And the war dragged for ages. At the brink of annihilation, the first dragon riders carried mankind into the sky, forging the floating cities, the last refuge above the wastelands. For a century, humanity called it peace. Then Ebonspire fell. Devoured by undead hordes. Czar watched his mother and sister torn apart, leaving him with one burden. His niece, the last of his bloodline. When escape became impossible and hope rotted away, Satan came with an offer. Survive. Kill God. Or lose the only thing you have left. Now hunted by dragon knights, stalked by intelligent undead, and trapped in a primordial war, Czar fought. Not to save the world, but for survival and vengeance. My client is Satan. And my prey is God.
