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!

“Everything is loud, Zhi’er,” Xinyuan murmured, voice low. “It’s only quiet when you touch me.” °° In his past life, Shen Ran was a hitman forced into the underworld by crushing debt after borrowing money to pay for his mother’s cancer treatment. Even after years of bloodshed, it wasn’t enough. She died anyway. On the night of his final job, just as he thought he would finally be free, Shen Ran was betrayed and shot in the head by his own boss. He expected death. Instead, he woke up in the body of Lin Wenzhi. A minor, forgettable character in a guideverse BL novel he had read the night before. A cannon fodder. A B-rank guide who appeared only three times and died the third. In this world, rifts tear open the sky, monsters pour through, and humanity survives through Espers and Guides. But the story doesn’t end in salvation. It ends in destruction. Because the male lead, a Disaster-Class Esper, eventually loses control and wipes out the entire universe. Knowing this, Shen Ran makes a simple decision. As Lin Wenzhi, he will stay out of the plot, avoid the main characters drama, and live quietly for as long as possible. Eat. Sleep. Work less. Survive. Unfortunately, fate has other plans. During a compatibility test, Lin Wenzhi is matched with the most dangerous Esper alive. Shao Xinyuan. Compatibility: 107%. The original protagonist’s compatibility? 97%. Which should have been enough. But Shao Xinyuan doesn’t care. He chooses Lin Wenzhi. Now, the cannon fodder who wanted nothing to do with the story is bound to the man destined to destroy it. And worse, Shao Xinyuan isn’t letting him go. ***** Cover created by KiXxX

Years before the Emerald Dawn, the Gate Walkers appeared to protect a humanity that had been thrust into the beginnings of the end. As the Dawn draws near, Gates grow more frequent and the world alters and corrupts more by the day to accommodate the rapidly changing reality, and in a temple hidden in the barely recognizable stretch of Central Park, NY, a discovery is made. Strange new rules, terrifying implications, and something that lurks beyond human consciousness await a population of Walkers and civilians alike. Look, or turn away. The Void looks back either way.

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. https://discord.gg/RpqJQ6Yys

A harsh universe reduces reality to a cruel binary: black and white. Demands sides between deity vs. devil, light vs. darkness, hope vs. despair, and love vs. apathy. A sci-fi genre world awakened to a supernatural power, humanity's downfall, and monster rise. Einsamer Stern, a teenager, he was never meant to experience what life is. Living in a godless reality and a story that calls for his deletion from the script of tyrannical celestial rulers. Or maybe he is only a chain of texts: a program of suffering that cycles through life, death, and deletion. What happens when a pawn transcends the game itself—when a cliché like “hope” stops being a slogan and becomes something real inside a story that has been abandoned multiple times? However, even hope could become a poison. As he unveiled the truth, it became terrifyingly clear that someone else still held total power over the narrative of his story.

In a future where Earth has been devastated by an alien invasion, humanity’s survival hangs in the balance. Daniel-Lee Viret, a 42-year-old carpenter and visionary tech genius, finds himself at the heart of a clandestine resistance—an effort to reclaim the planet and secure a future for humankind. Once captured and exploited by the extraterrestrial conquerors, Daniel refuses to accept a fate dictated by alien overlords and corrupt elites. Instead, he seizes a mysterious, otherworldly device that appears in his workshop, unlocking latent human potential and granting him access to advanced knowledge from popular sci-fi sources.Empowered by this newfound system and a powerful brain-enhancing elixir called NZT-50, Daniel begins to craft a revolutionary blueprint for technological salvation. His goal is to develop breakthrough innovations—flying cars, teleporters, AI companions, and energy sources capable of harnessing zero-point energy—all designed to prepare Earth for the impending invasion and to resist the oppressive alien regime. But the path is treacherous. The world’s powerful corporations, government agencies, and rogue factions see his advancements as threats, willing to kill or sabotage to maintain control.As Daniel builds his fledgling empire from the ground up, he assembles a team of trusted allies: his brilliant younger brother Jo-ash, a prodigy engineer; Denver, a visionary designer with dreams of futuristic vehicles; and Nikki, a scientist specializing in energy systems. Together, they establish secret bases across South Africa, hidden from prying eyes, functioning as command centers and training facilities. Their efforts are shadowed by enemies—corporate spies, mercenaries, and alien agents—who seek to steal or destroy their innovations.Amidst this chaos, Daniel’s system reveals a darker truth: a covert group of mercenaries and rival corporations working in the shadows, attempting to infiltrate and cripple his operations. The stakes escalate as the alien threat intensifies—strange ships in orbit, energy signatures rising, and strange phenomena signaling an imminent full-scale invasion. Daniel’s drive to innovate is matched by his need for strategic defense, leading to the creation of autonomous robots, secret safe zones, and a covert resistance network prepared to fight from the shadows.Despite the peril, hope persists. Daniel’s vision extends beyond mere survival—he aims to rebuild humanity's resilience and autonomy. His creations, like the friendly yet formidable Baymax robots and advanced VR training grounds, serve as symbols of a new dawn—tools to empower people and push the boundaries of human capability.As the world teeters on the brink of war, Daniel’s ultimate challenge becomes clear: rally humanity, outsmart the alien invaders, and forge a future where hope and innovation prevail over darkness and despair. His journey is one of resilience, ingenuity, and unwavering resolve—a fight not just for survival but for the rebirth of a better world."Shadows of Tomorrow" is a gripping tale of technological revolution, resistance, and the indomitable spirit of humanity in the face of extraterrestrial and corporate tyranny. It explores themes of hope, sacrifice, and the power of human ingenuity—reminding us that even in the darkest times, a second chance can spark the dawn of a new era.

The Book of Becoming — Before gods had names, before death had a meaning, Cain broke the first law. He defied Heaven, murdered his brother Abel—then resurrected him. That single act of rebellion shattered the equilibrium of creation, birthing sin, memory, and consequence. Abel returned, no longer mortal. His rebirth was incomplete, a soul rewritten by divine paradox. Now he walks the multiverse as Necros-Babel, the Almighty’s Eternal Witness, Shepherd of Endings, and Paragon of Death—the first Reaper, the shadow by which all others measure their silence. Even gods fear him, for he remembers what they have chosen to forget. Ages later, as time circles back upon itself, the Nine Ascendants rise—each embodying one fragment of the divine equation lost when Abel died: light, flame, shadow, will, void, genesis, mind, flesh, and judgment. They are not heroes. They are the unresolved ideas of gods long dead, summoned by the universe itself to restore balance to a world collapsing under the weight of its own perfection. But deep beneath the ocean floor, in the cathedral of bones that was once Eden’s foundation, Cain sleeps still—his blood crystallized into the Seal of Dominion, binding Heaven, Sea, and Void together. Should the seal fracture, his awakening will not be a resurrection but a rewrite—the unmaking of existence so it may begin again in his image. The Ascendants’ light cannot save creation without first confronting the oldest truth: to ascend, one must consume their own divinity. Each must descend into the heart of their paradox, where their virtues become their devourers, and the shadows of Cain whisper the law of all flesh—that to know God is to inherit His hunger. The final prophecy speaks of the hour when Fire meets Stillness, when the Nine stand beneath a bleeding sky and remember their mortality. In that instant, the heavens will collapse inward; time will fracture; the rivers of light will flow backward; and the sky itself will scream. And at the center of it all, Necros-Babel—Abel reborn, the first and last witness—will decide whether creation deserves to begin again… or end forever.

Yesterday you were an ordinary person, and today, against your will, you have ended up in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.

“If mercy and kindness can't save the world… then this time, I choose violence.” — Ethan Cole Huff… What the hell— …Did I seriously just— get reborn? Fifteen days before it starts? Before everything falls apart… and turns into that game. A voice cuts in— [Ding! Congratulations. You’ve been granted a one-time rebirth opportunity.] [Bonus reward: Spatial Storage Ring.] Ethan goes still. A cheat ability… and a storage ring? …You’ve got to be kidding me. Then— [Please choose: Join the humans… or the zombies?] He stares at it. If he picks human— Yeah. He knows exactly how that plays out. Scraping for supplies. Fighting over scraps. Watching people turn on each other. Dying like everyone else. … He exhales slowly. Then lets out a low, humorless laugh. “Yeah.” “I’ve done that already.” A pause. His gaze hardens. “Let’s try something else.” “Zombies.” For a split second— the system… hesitates. Then— [Warning… selection deviates from expected path.] Silence. And then— [God: …That’s a terrible idea.] A beat. [God: …Go on, then.]

Set years after a devastating nuclear collapse, Red Signal: Echo of a Lie follows survival in a broken world where danger isn't always visible.... and trust is fragile. As reality fractures under pressure, endurance becomes psychological as much as physical. And freewill is not to be negotiable. Lyra Vex was raised by the Rebellion to destroy the Council. She trained for years in secrecy, believing she was fighting for freedom against the Council’s oppression. But when she finally infiltrates the Order, brutalized and brainwashed to act like one of them, she learns the horrifying truth: The Rebellion was a fabrication. A carefully engineered psy-op—created by the Council—to build the perfect infiltrator. Now, caught between a war she was designed to ignite and a truth too dangerous to expose, Lyra must decide: Will she fulfill the mission they programmed into her… or become something no one could control?

Monsters descend upon the world. Cities fall. Humanity retreats. And fear gives every creature a single name—monster. After transmigrating into this chaotic era, small-time streamer Chen Mo discovers a terrifying truth: the so-called monsters are actually Pokémon. The fire-breathing dragon that wiped out an armed squad? Charizard. The iron-biting rat demon invading homes? Rattata. The deadly butterfly spreading poison powder? Butterfree. While the world prepares for extermination, Chen Mo does the unthinkable— he turns on a livestream. Armed with a Pokémon knowledge system, Chen Mo ventures into monster-infested zones, explaining their names, abilities, evolution, and behavior in real time. From harmless Metapod to electric Pichu, he proves that Pokémon are not mindless beasts—but intelligent creatures capable of trust, growth, and partnership. As viewership explodes, so does controversy. Can humans and Pokémon really coexist? Or is total war inevitable? From mocked streamer to global authority, Chen Mo sparks a revolution of understanding—one Pokémon at a time. Years later, history will remember him as the Father of Pokémon, the Founder of Pokémon Battles, and the man who changed the fate of two species forever. This is the story of how humanity stopped fearing monsters—and started calling them Pokémon.

A cliché setup. What if I was in his shoes? What would I change? How much would change? On the day that Seol Jihu betrayed his younger sister and stole her car, 'I' took over. Who was 'I'? Why had I stepped into his shoes? 'I' didn't know. But I knew one thing. Even if I wasn't the real deal... from here on out, I would be Seol Jihu. And I was going to do things my way. --- An indulgent self-insert story with the usual power trip fantasy stuff. Some things change, others remain the same, and the end game... Well, small ripples become huge waves.

Due to the whims of a higher-dimensional being called "The One", the World of Terra ushered in a Monthly Apocalypse World Update Era.

However, your goal is not to win but to survive as long as possible and attain as many achievements as possible.] [The longer you survive and the more you accomplish within that doomsday scenario, the higher your score will be. The higher the score, the greater the rewards you'll receive.] [The rewards you can receive are mostly related to the power, skill, experiences, and talent that you possessed before the doomsday life simulation ended. They will be brought back to the real world so the host can gain power from doing life simulations.] -Ding! [The host can choose one doomsday scenario from four of the following:] [A. Helios Extinction Event] [B. AI Singularity Rebellion] [C. Global Ocean Survival] [D.
