apocalypse

Chaos Beasts rule the earth. Hybrids rule what’s left of mankind. Apolo Quinn was born a prince, yet discarded as trash. No hybrid bloodline. No strength. No worth. But destiny hide something even his parents never saw — a bloodline that could shake the order of the universe itself. When his secret is revealed, both man and beast will hunt him. But who is the hunter, and who is the prey?

In 2030, humanity faced its first true collapse…not by war, but by the sudden invasion of Nightcrawlers, creatures emerging from darkness itself with the desire to devour sunlight at all cost for their evolution. But, they could not absorb it directly since it was as deadly to them as to a shadow under the noonday sun. They could only absorb the sunlight from lifeforms or through signing a nocturnal contract to possess their bodies, providing them with direct sunlight immunity. Within twelve hours, over four billion people perished as Earth was split between eternal night and day. Just as extinction loomed, Holy Light Pillars descended from the heavens, purging one thousand cities from Nightcrawlers and offering humanity sanctuary under their divine light. A century later, in the Heliodor Region, an innocent child found his world turned upside down after two mysterious nightcrawlers invaded his home, slaughtered his parents, and ripped his eyes out of their sockets, leaving him permanently connected to the Shadow Dimension, the home ground of Nightcrawlers. Was it just a random feeding session for them, a planned assassination, or it goes deeper than this? Follow Levi’s journey as he weaves between darkness and light, chasing the truth hidden in both.

THE FOUNDRY PROTOCOL "Try not to die like a bitch this time." That was the last thing the System told me before it rebooted the timeline. I’m Jack Monroe, a construction manager who failed to save the world. In my first life, I died screaming on Day 30, ranked 47th out of 50 warlords, watching my fortress crumble because I cut corners on a concrete wall. Now, I’ve been sent back to Day 1 with a roadmap of the apocalypse carved into my skull and a 30-day countdown to a cosmic Server Wipe. Round Two isn't about heroics. It's about industry. Trapped in the toxic wasteland of East St. Louis, I have to turn a bankrupt chemical plant into an impenetrable Silo. I have to manage a crew of terrified laborers, a mutinous sheriff, and two System entities warring for my soul. The dead don't just walk—they evolve. Shamblers turn into Runners, Runners turn into Mutants, and my neighbors turn into looters. I have a plan. I have a blueprint. I have a shovel. And if you get in the way of my construction schedule, you’re going into the concrete mixer. Build. Harvest. Optimize. Welcome to the Cull.

Here is a 10000-words of bad words– Huh, got you, you sons of batches editors… Cry “AI” all you want… but the only AI you’ll find here is an AI from an alternative world called Mia. Leo is our protagonist, with the best Aiming skill. He and Mia survives in the cruel world as Ranger who dive into Alternative Zones (like dungeons) with guns and more guns. [Anyways, this world setting is inspired from Rebuild World, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and Kara Is Here To Please You ;) ..... If you’ve never seen those, just enjoy the non-boring journey of Leo and his AI, Mia, in this post-apocalyptic cyberpunk world.]

The Samsara Tower is a virtual world built from countless films and television works. Every Samsara Players struggles to conquer each dungeon, striving to earn rewards and grow stronger. Shura, after transmigrating into this world, was stunned to discover that the very dungeon challenges others found nearly impossible… were all movies and shows he had already seen in his previous life!? ----- From me, Mr. Translator: This book is already available on Webnovel, but its translation is almost identical to the raw text. The names of characters, places, terms, and even references from movies and anime were all left in Chinese, which I honestly couldn’t stand. The charm and brilliance of the story were lost, and its appeal diminished because of that. So, as a passionate reader, I decided to take it upon myself to properly translate this amazing book—one of the true gems hidden within the mountain of trash in the Chinese fanfic section. I’m not a hater, just a reader who wants to enjoy and be fully immersed in the story. Peace.

An infected world. With a never-ending invasion. Status screens, unique skills, gods and demons… even monsters capable of ending the world in a single breath. "Hah… what kind of circus do we keep getting thrown into? I am still not sure whether humanity deserves this or if the universe is just bored.." By the time he reached his twelfth life, Iskael had already watched the world end more times than he could count on two hands. He had failed as a hero, as a survivor, and as a lover, thrown back again and again using the tool he desperately monopolized. he stood alone at the cliff’s edge, but he looked nothing like the terrified survivors scattered far behind him. He looked over the Zenith Chasm in silence. Below him, the abyss seethed with monsters in the millions. An evil smile permeated his face, a face no normal soul could ever be able to make staring endlessly at an abyss. It was the kind of smile that would have made his classmates step back on instinct, a smile that did not match any sane person who still claimed to fight for humanity. Wind pressed against his clothes, dragging the torn fabric slightly over his frame. And beneath it, black linen tattoos shimmered like living veins of ink. The unearthly symbols crawled and shifted across his torso, disappearing into the hidden folds creased into his figure. He stood above the ever hollowing Zenith Chasm, as the sole vanguard for the beginning of the raid. Having fearful last minute thoughts would be normal, for anyone staring at such an abomination of numbers. Yet you see only one mantra stayed firm to this young man, Iskael's heart. A coping mantra more dear than anything. “Step back. Or step forward. Step through your hurt again, until the loop bends to you. Then time will also be nothing but your lesson and your tool to carve the little life you were denied having.” This time he chose to step forward. Air rushed past him as he let himself fall, his body flipping weightlessly through the tranquil yet furious winds, and as he fell those black tattoos began glowing brighter with each rotation in preparation for something. Then, as monsters roared and the world shook beneath him, he whispered: “It is such a melodramatic thing to say.." But you see, my little karma farms...” His grin widened. “I’m a regressor.” **BOOOM**

#NoCP #PlayingPig (This novel is one of my favorites. I’ve gone back and reread it about 5–6 times now.) Jing Shu has seen the end of the world, and it’s literally a storm of epic proportions, and she’s been given the ultimate do-over: a ten-year rewind. Thrown back in time to just two months before everything goes to hell, she has one mission: to make her apocalypse as comfortable as possible. Forget just surviving. While others are scrambling for canned beans, Jing Shu is building a fortified sanctuary, raising soon-to-be-extinct poultry for gourmet meals, and cultivating a garden of forgotten veggies. Armed with a mysterious evolving cube that grants her a private pocket dimension and a magical spirit spring water, she’s set to ride out the disaster in style. But what’s the point of living like a queen if you can’t enjoy a little revenge? The apocalypse is about to get a serious upgrade in style, and Jing Shu can’t wait for her enemies to see what they’re missing. Let them hear the sizzle of her steak and smell the aroma of her barbecue. Their despair is just the seasoning she needs. In a world where humanity itself is changing, mutating into powerful "New Humans" fused with the chaos, Jing Shu is ready to evolve right along with them. She’s got her cube, her spring, and a plan. The storm is coming, and she has a front-row seat. === English Original Title:《I'm planting a field in the end times》 (Note: Title adapted for tone and readability while preserving the story’s core themes.)

In a nameless, choking city, people don’t die once—they die in fragments. Every abandoned dream, every forgotten version of yourself is another quiet corpse nobody bothers to bury. Noor, a burned-out night worker drifting between shifts and half-lives, stumbles onto the proof when a new route appears on the metro map: Line ∞. The black train that runs it doesn’t take passengers home. Its blurred riders call themselves “your deaths” and offer a brutal mercy: Endless Death, a service that erases you from records, algorithms, and other people’s memories, gathering all your tiny, wasted endings into one deliberate rebirth outside the story the city wrote for you. Noor steps aboard. As files vanish and conversations rewrite themselves without him, he begins to explore the hidden system beneath the streets—a network built from lost stations and discarded futures. But something in the city resists his erasure. Something remembers him when no one else can. And if a world that has already killed you once refuses to let go of your name… what exactly did you step into that train to escape?

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)] [1,000 Skill Points Invested!] [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 phases 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? He crushes a 50-man elite guild raid with a single gravity spell. Underestimated by a World Boss? He physically catches its fang and obliterates it with a single punch. Desperate for resources? He uses Forbidden Alchemy to break the global economy and buy entire cities. 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.

Chicago, Illinois, 2016. Adrian Carter’s life was ordinary—school, friends, a girlfriend he thought he knew. Until everything changed. In an instant, he was ripped from his old world and thrust into a new one he didn’t want, one ruled by chaos, blood, and death. The city has fallen into a psychotic outbreak, turning people into sadistic killers who hunt without reason, morality, or mercy. And as if surviving that wasn’t enough, Adrian has to deal with someone far more dangerous—his yandere ex-girlfriend, Lila, who won’t let him go and has her own deadly ideas of “protection.” In a world gone mad, Adrian must navigate streets drenched in blood, fight for his life, and hope he doesn’t lose himself—or get caught in Lila’s obsessive grasp.

Area 73 is dying. Factories choke the clouds, mafias rule the alleys, and Avalon—the world’s cold corporate empire—keeps the population silent with fear, surveillance, and manufactured hope. Then the sky changed. Energy stones—mysterious fossils that fell from the heavens—rewrote the balance of power. Nations collapsed, cities burned, and Avalon rose as the only force capable of controlling these new resources. Or so they claimed. For years, Avalon has tried to activate a legendary weapon: the Aydren Bracelet. A relic created by the vanished hero Aydren himself. A weapon that refuses to awaken for anyone. Now Eclipse—the underground rebellion—grows stronger, humiliating Avalon on every battlefield. Pushed to the edge, Avalon decides to restart the Bracelet Project… and search for new candidates. Their answer arrives from the streets of Area 73. Zen Deskan, a feared mafia enforcer hiding a quiet loyalty to his family, unknowingly steals an energy stone during a job—its power echoing across the city like a flare. Avalon detects the signal. And the hunt begins. With their mother taken and Rey—Zen’s gentle younger brother—now a target, the Deskan family is dragged into a war they never chose. Mafia loyalties shatter, Eclipse prepares its next uprising, and Avalon tightens its grip on the bracelet that could change the fate of the world. The night Zen stole that stone… Fate moved. And nothing in Area 73 will ever be the same again

In a world torn apart by the undead, survival is no longer about just staying alive. It’s about who you’re willing to trust, what you’re willing to give up, and how far you’ll go to feel something human again. Iyisha Clarke, a young doctor with more instinct than experience, crosses paths with Malcolm Briggs, a former Navy SEAL carrying wounds deeper than just the physical. They didn’t plan to travel together, much less depend on each other. But between dodging zombies, stolen kisses, and broken boundaries, their connection becomes harder to ignore. Supplies are scarce, safe zones are shady, and sex in a zombie apocalyptic world is messier than it sounds. Some people are trying to rebuild. Others are just trying to breathe. And somewhere between a dying government and whispered hope, Iyisha and Malcolm might find more than just survival. They might find a reason to live. P.S. Though romance, the romance is slow burn so please be warned. First chapters are survival.

n a city built on lies, survival is the only truth. Mara grew up watching the system destroy those who believed in it — her parents among them — and learned that hope was a trap. Then she met Eli. A boy who carried a light she thought impossible, a quiet defiance against a world crumbling under corruption, propaganda, and fear. He vanished without a trace, leaving Mara with a spark she could neither explain nor forget. Years later, Mara becomes a symbol of rebellion, exposing the lies the powerful cling to, surviving riots, blackouts, and government control. And even as she ages, and the world repeats its cycles of chaos, the memory of a boy named Eli endures — proof that even in the darkest times, a light can survive.

[Assessment Complete. Activating Mutagen, Please Standby….] A normal day is suddenly turned on its head when a single voice utters those fateful words into the minds of every single soul on the planet. It was after those words that every single man, woman and child was granted the opportunity to gain fantastical abilities in the name of evolution. Not even the plants or animals were spared by the words of this mysterious voice. Yet not everyone got what they hoped for. Some developed no powers at all, their bodies not yet ready for the process. Others, were simply too frail to handle it. Mutating into horrific creatures, nightmares made real. Seth Quinn, a slightly below average IT worker, developed a unique ability. The Puppeteers Threads. The ability to turn inanimate objects into his obedient puppets. Will he and those he loves survive in this hellish new world? Will his new ability lead him to a life of greatness he always dreamed of? Could he become a Master of Puppets? ----------------------------------------------------- A book about an apocalyptic world and the powers that have risen within. Following the unique blend of necromantic and Summoning abilities, with a twist that offers many more opportunities. Admittedly, it has a slightly slow start, especially in the first 5 chapters. It's something I regret now, but can't change. I can only try to improve, so I hope you stick through it and get to the good meat that starts around chapter 5 at least. General warning for graphic descriptions of death and injury. There will be bloodshed, not gonna be sunshine and rainbows. Other warnings for other issues, such as self harm or implications of sexual assault Will be provided at the start of the chapters, but even then they are just implied. Nothing explicit.

(R-18 and dark themes, you have been warned.) Blurb: During my incarceration by my mate, I see a man leaning against the wall of the dungeon with his arms and legs coiled with heavy iron chains. Dressed only in tattered rags of a black robe his ghostly white skin is mostly on display. Tattoos like smoke crawl all the way from his neck to the side of his handsome and deeply chiselled face, but it's the eyes that have me in a trance. Deep red like the freshly spilt blood, such rich shade, and they stare directly at me with such intensity that I forget to breathe. My hand grabs the iron bar, and I steady myself as his curved lips move and he utters only one word to make my world crash and my magic lose control. “Mate!” My world shatters at his words. "You can see me?” He asks next, a voice calmer and yet deeper than Mariana Trench. It whispers all around me, murmuring against my skin as if trying to awaken something sleeping. “Yes, why shouldn't I be able to?” I question, slightly confused. A crease descends on my forehead. "No one else can," he answers with a wounded smile that wrecks my heart. Synopsis: In this post-apocalyptic world, Faes are hunted and killed mercilessly because they are blamed for the apocalypse that befell and destroyed half of the population. At 20, Amaia Zhāng is a Fae and is the last of her kind, or so she thinks. Her family and her whole village were massacred by the Dread Army in the name of keeping peace.

During a battle with a monster, her mate abandons and rejects her to save his life. Heartbroken, Amaia is left with no choice but to join Orion Academy. It is home to the greatest hunters and enforcers of her continent. It's a world where hunters and enforcers are treated like celebrities. She knows the training will help her fulfil her revenge plans and become a renowned hunter. And maybe along the way she will find another mate. But the twist of fate, deception and seduction from the man who is supposed to refer her to the Orion Academy leaves her with a curse and a tainted reputation. A curse which prevents her mate/mates from recognising her and prevents Amaia from informing them of who she is to them. As it turns out, Amaia is mated to hybrid Alphas of Orion, but none of them can feel the mate bond, and they believe she wants to seduce them. “Have some dignity, Amaia. You abandoned your mate and are now trying your seduction techniques on me. I have a fiancée.” Glares Alnilam, her first mate. “Don't look at me like that, lassie. I am saving myself for my mate.” Winks Alnitak, her second mate. “Stay away from me. You are not my mate,” scolds Mintaka, her third mate. “I will bring a garland constructed from your ex-mate's bones. How dare he hurt you?” Determination flashes in the eyes of Rigel, her fourth mate. Every time they turn her down and choose to be intimate with their chosen females, she feels every ounce of pain and hurt. Amidst the chaos and heartache in a place where enemies hide in plain sight. Can Amaia break this curse and have her mates recognise her as theirs? Does she have four mates or is there another twist hidden? Will she become a successful hunter and keep her identity hidden from the world and at the same time carry out her revenge? Read on to find out.

Awakening Astra: The Boy with Living Starlight Kian has always been “the weird sick boy.” Hospitals, tests, and pills never explain why his veins glow like faint starlight whenever his emotions slip or why streetlights flicker, phones die, and time itself seems to stutter around him. The truth is worse than any diagnosis. Inside Kian lives Astra, an ancient cosmic force that chooses one human vessel every thousand years. To the world, he’s a dangerous anomaly. To secret cults, he’s a sacrifice. To Dr. Havel, the cold genius who raised him in a lab, he’s perfect property that escaped. His only shield is Nyra a fierce, sarcastic girl who appears just as everything falls apart. She claims she was born for one mission: protect him. Nyra reveals that Kian isn’t just a random boy; he’s the lost Crownhost of Astra, a prince from an alien civilization called Astra Nest, hidden beyond the thin places between worlds. Years ago, the elders erased his memories and sent him to Earth, fearing what would happen when Astra fully awakened. Now the awakening has started. As Kian and Nyra run from town to town through thin spots in reality, haunted dreams of balconies under a river of stars, and near-captures by Havel’s team Kian’s power grows wilder and more aware. Astra whispers in his mind, tempting him to rewrite everything the way he wants. The Nest is watching. Havel is hunting. Cults are waiting. While Kian struggles to control the living starlight in his blood, he also faces a more human problem: he’s falling for the girl who was trained to guard him… and his feelings for Nyra might become his greatest weakness. Between two worlds and one dangerous destiny, Kian must decide: stay a frightened boy everyone wants to use, or awaken as Astra’s Crownhost and choose his own fate even if it means burning everything that tried to control him.

Luciel strived to survive in a world that was suddenly plunged into chaos by monsters. Unfortunately, the base he was staying at didn’t survive the monster tide. So, after surviving in such a world for 7 years, he died. Luciel thought he had died, but when he opened his eyes, he was met with peaceful modern scenery. After looking around, Luciel laughed with joy and said, “Ha ha ha. I can finally enjoy such peaceful scenery again! No more eating expired food! No more sleeping in the open space! And there is no need to fight daily! To whomever brought me here, thank you very much. I will enjoy this life to the fullest!” He also woke up in the body of a male model who had just signed to be the contract lover of their boss. "Hmm, $5 million and a house in the capital as a separation fee, and $100,000 as an allowance every month. The boss also has a handsome face. Ok, no problem!” Luciel did enjoy his peaceful life for a few weeks, but afterwards he found out that the world he was in was the apocalyptic novel he read in his past life. He didn’t want to live in the same way as his past life, so knowing that he was the lover of the protagonist who died in the first chapter because he ran away, he decided to stay and rely on the protagonist. Luciel just wanted to rely on the protagonist to have a better life in the upcoming zombie apocalypse. However, he was forced to deal with the people flocking around to rely on the protagonist, and he was even forced to fight again just to save him. “Hey! I just want to rely on you! Why do I need to deal with a lot of things?” “It’s not my fault that some things happened.” “What did you say?” “Don’t stare at me with such a cold look. Don’t worry; you can continue to relax and just rely on me. You don’t need to care about anything else, as long as you care about me!” “Huh? Are you still dreaming?” ------------ This is a story about how Luciel lives in another apocalyptic world and how his contract relationship with Treyton turned into a real relationship.
