apocalypse

(45,000 Words Before Lock) The world ended the same day Julien failed his job interview. Portals tore open the sky, and monsters went on a brutal killing spree until humanity finally awakened powers to fight back. By sheer luck, Julien awakened an SSS-rank skill, the highest tier in existence. There was just one problem: It gave him zero combat stats. [Skill Name: The Infinite Warehouse] [Rank: SSS] [Type: Administrative-Class / Economic Authority] [Description: You have been granted limited administrative access to the Multiversal Supply Chain. You do not own the items within, but are merely the distributor.] With every new level and upgrade, the skill rewards him with impossible new heights of power. It upgrades from basic shop of healing potions to granting him dimensional contracts to summon Mythical beasts, ultimately opening a door for him to conquer the vast multiverse itself. In a collapsing world, the man who controls the supply… controls everything.

This is the end. I’m going to die… That was the only thought in my mind as I stood surrounded by monsters, abandoned by my teachers and classmates during a monster rampage. Just as the Minotaur raised its hammer to crush me, a figure appeared out of nowhere. He swung his scythe and sliced the beast in half, then cut down the rest of the monsters in the blink of an eye. From that day on, I saw him as my savior. But why did everyone else see him as a villain? The media painted him as cruel and cold, a brutal ranker with an awful personality. They called him dangerous, someone to be feared and hated. What the hell are you guys talking about? Ezekiel isn’t like that! But no one believed me. Years passed, and I saw him again... It was at his funeral. He saved my life, and I couldn't save his. The guilt crushed me. But then, a miracle came. I was given a chance to make one single wish. “I wish I could save him!” I shouted without hesitation. And in that moment, time turned back to the day he died. #modernfantasy #romance #femaleleadpov #dungeons #rankers #adventurers #monsters #gates#internet#revenge

In 2029, a virus designated Tokbog-29 spread globally, originating from Russia and within two years, the virus claimed over 800,000 lives. By 2037, the death toll had reached 760,000,000. In 2038, in Japan, a Tokbog patient transformed into a powerful monstrosity that nearly wiped out an entire hospital. It was eliminated by the Japan Self-Defense Forces’ special operations units after seventy-two hours of sustained engagement. The creature, codename Chimera, was the first of many entities to emerge from infected patients. What initially appeared to be an isolated incident soon escalated into a full-scale invasion of aberrant, demonic creatures referred to as Ijo (Japanese for “Anomaly”) or Zmij (Russian for “Dragon”). The year 2038 marked the beginning of the Anomalous War, which lasted until 2047. The conflict was fought by the United Nations Armament and Defense Forces (UNADF), particularly through its specialized branch, the Ijo Counterattack Protocol (ICP), known in Russia and Europe as the Zmij Extermination Division (ZED). In 2047, with the assistance of the technological corporations Bryte and Rodak, the Class-Y Human Containment Space Station, also known as Remnant, was completed. Launched from the Moon and positioned beyond lunar orbit, it carried more than half of humanity — the last surviving civilian population of humanity. Only the military remained on Earth. In 2049, military experiments subjected human test subjects to a modified and controlled substance found inside the Tokbog-29 bacteria. Unlike the virus, this substance did not kill the host. Instead, it generated a powerful electrochemical discharge, granting subjects behavioral traits and combat capabilities approximately fifty percent comparable to an Ijo. The substance was designated Tokbog-29β, also known as Nectar. Under extreme psychological stress — fear, rage, or trauma — it triggered the development of the Hirngeist, a system that altered both the psychological and physical state of the host. Soldiers implanted with Nectar can activate it for a maximum duration of one minute — just enough to finish an engagement. Afterward, the Kariudo-Type Mark III combat suits automatically administer an Inhibitor, a temporary counteragent that suppresses both body and mind, placing the host into a medically induced coma for approximately three days. Following recovery and rehabilitation, the soldier is cleared for combat once more. Each military base fields three squads of four soldiers. Together, these squads form an Oberhaupt, the command unit responsible for their coordination, composed of personnel ranging from seventeen to forty years of age. If a soldier exceeds the imposed activation limit, they enter overload — a state known as Hirn Brecher, or the Harbinger Event — which in most cases results in death. The story takes place in 2054. The protagonists have been members of an Oberhaupt unit for at least two years. Cross posting on Scribblehub and Royal Road

In a world where humanity is defined by Classes, Classes are everything, and when you get a low rank class you're stuck with it until the very end. Axel awakened the supposedly lowest of the low rank class, he was mocked for it and ostracized but little did any one know, that this was only the humble beginning of a boy that could steal classes and evolve them. This strange Class that Axel awakened set him on a path to possibly becoming the strongest in all the dimensions.

Welcome to "The EXTRACT". The only current safe space for humanity after the great 'Pharaoh mess up' that caused the Earth to be overrun by monsters.

Seven billion people died in the blink of an eye. An alien "light-speed bullet" vaporized Earth, leaving Captain Jason and the crew of the Victory as the only witnesses. Now, the final 51,223 survivors are stranded on Moon Base One, staring into the void where home used to be. But the Base covers a secret: an indestructible Alien Ark buried in the crater and the "Perfect Element," a substance that grants immortality. Jason is the only successful subject of the Element experiments, the First Superhuman which shattered human limits, enhanced speed, and a lifespan of 1,500 years. With a ticking clock and food reserves for only 98 days, Jason must rise as humanity's last leader. From suppressing violent cults to unlocking alien technology and enacting planetary-scale construction, he must turn a dormant sphere into an interstellar ark. Humanity is on the brink of extinction but Jason refuses it to fall

As his friend's lifeless body fell at the hands of a Seele, Itoshi could do nothing but watch-paralyzed, helpless, broken. Something in him snapped that day. From that moment on, he made a vow: He would never let anyone else suffer the same fate. No matter how far he had to go. No matter how many Seeles he had to put down. Since then, he's traveled the world with his squad, 663, "cleansing" every Seele infestation they find-efficiently, mercilessly. To most, he's a protector. A weapon of justice. But justice has a handler. Enter Miz-the calm within the carnage, or perhaps the one stoking the fire. While Itoshi burns through the world with his Blue Rage, Miz remains the quiet shadow at his side, offering a "humble" smile that hides more than it reveals. Is Miz the anchor keeping Itoshi's humanity intact, or is he merely the architect guiding a broken weapon toward a much darker purpose? Deep down, even Itoshi doesn't know if he's truly fighting for others, or just trying to fill the void that opened when he lost the only person who truly mattered. Maybe it's a mission. Maybe it's penance. Or maybe... with Miz watching every step, it's just an excuse.

Reincarnated into a world where humanity fights back against dungeon invasions with awakened supernatural powers, Maximus planned everything from birth. He studied harder, tained longer, preparing to stand at the top. But fate cheated him: he didn't have the qualifications to become a Hunter. Stripped of status and savings, he drifts into hunger and debt, watching the world from the margins. When eviction and starvation threaten to finish him, Maximus binds with a mysterious Dimensional Final Boss Role-Playing System.

Fifty years ago, rifts appeared in the world. These rifts spewed spirit beasts, ancient artifacts, and fragments of lost civilizations. The human race brought forth Talent Sigils and built guilds and families for survival. These families include one of the oldest awakened bloodlines, known as "The Long Clan," said to trace its lineage from the dragons of antiquity. However, rivalries also exist within great clans. His name is Long Hao, the son of a dwindling lineage family who is ridiculed for being the embarrassment of the clan. It is not impossible for people to believe that he has only mediocre talent because the clan already labels him as the failure who does not deserve the name dragon. But on the night before the awakening ceremony, there is a prohibited awakening within him. > [Eclipse System… Activating [Forbidden Talent Detected. Origin: Dragon-Eclipse Bloodline It seems that *Heaven’s Law* itself has made Long Hao wields forbidden talent, a skill feared not only by humans but also by the heavens. The day that follows, the Awakening Stone has no talent, and the world laughs at him. But Long Hao just smiled. When the first dungeon appears out of nowhere in his high school, chaos breaks out. "The trash of the Long Clan" emerges and displays power that shocks the city. He will overcome his destiny. Above the guilds. Above ancient clans. Beyond God's own command. A dragon ought to fly across the nine heavens, and he, named Long Hao, shall smash those who come to get in his way. A dragon should soar across the nine heavens— and Long Hao will shatter anyone who dares stand in his path.

But as they peel back the layers of a conspiracy that spans generations, they realize the "Greatest threat" isn't always in front of you. ​In this new world, hate keeps you alive.

Chen Xiaoyun, an orphan from Guangzhou, China, once met a girl who looked remarkably like him. Before he could learn more about her, a deadly virus was unleashed around the globe. Humans turned into creatures straight out of video games and movies, and zombies and mutants roamed the streets with no one to stop them. From tanks to jockeys to even invisible zombies and mutated dogs. The mutations are just endless. "Why is there a zombie apocalypse just as I find my family? And why can I suddenly create things from thin air?" Will Xiaoyun survive the chaos with the new people he meets along the way? Will he use his newfound abilities to bring peace to a devastated world? Or perhaps he will just take another nap in the bed like a lazy pig—— "Shut up. How am I supposed to do anything when you keep throwing women at me?" ____________ Author's note: There is no NTR or Yuri unless you consider a threesome as Yuri, in which case I have nothing for you.

The world changed in an instant. Humanity no longer stands at the pinnacle of existence. Monsters from Myth and mana arise again into the world, heralding the start. The Start of the Game. In this new world, are the monsters outside even the greatest threat? "Game? I'm pretty good at games."

Blurb: He was once mindless trash. Vermin. An Imp. No name, no purpose. No future. He was supposed to die in the Maw like the rest. Mindless, crawling meat for something stronger to chew on. But something broke. A spark buried itself inside him... something ancient, older than Hell itself. Now he can see. He can think. He can Evolve. Hell doesn't know it yet, but the bottom just stood up. And he's hungry. Synopsis: The lowest demon in Hell. An imp without thought, spawned from filth, born for slaughter. Then he devoured a glitched system shard, something that shouldn’t exist in Hell. It gave him thought. It gave him power. It gave him the chance to evolve. Crawling through a realm of endless death and rot, he forced open a path to Earth. But in the year 2125, Earth isn’t what it once was. A hundred years ago, the Convergence shattered reality. Dimensions merged and the Dungeons fell. Civilization ended. Now, after a century of struggle, the Five Kings rule what's left, each carving out their own empires with overwhelming power. Like the Beast Taming King, who controls what was once Africa. His lands teem with monsters. Users flock to farm his dungeons, capturing beasts, gather rare materials...if they can survive, and don't forget to pay tribute. Or the Undead King, who holds what was once Europe and Russia in an iron grip. Endless legions of the dead serve him, his people loyal and fanatical. Behind an iron mask, he enforces absolute authority. A tyrant, loved by his people, living or dead. Everywhere, system users chase their own power. Shards grant anything from petty stats to world-shaking destinies. Everyone sees themselves as the hero, the protagonist of their own story. All of this is maintained and guided through the Network, a system-spanning infrastructure no human can escape. It ranks, registers, and controls. But not everywhere. Beyond the king's territories lie the Freelands, lawless zones they can’t or won’t hold. Here, gangs and corporations carve up ground while dimensional rifts swallow entire city blocks, wild dungeons drop without warning, and violence is the only law. He shouldn’t even exist in the Network. He’s not human. But his shard is corrupted...tainted. He slips through its firewalls, unregistered, unranked and free. Consuming the life and identity of Wohan Seo-jin, a system user and gang boss on the drowned coast of what was once Korea, he takes everything: his face, his memories, his men. Now he owns a foothold in the human world. And he plans to keep it. Survival isn’t enough. There is too much to want, too much to take for his own. System users, demons, dimensional races, even gods, he’ll push past every limit, evolve beyond every threat, and claim everything he desires...no matter the cost. #Litrpg #DarkFantasy #Grimdark #ProgressionFantasy #Post-apocalyptic

Dr. Zayne Li has a secret. Three years ago, the renowned cardiologist stumbled upon an impossible ice cave in the forest outside Linkon City. What he found inside changed everything—a portal to a nightmare realm where monsters hunt humans, where the laws of reality bend and break, and where survival means becoming something you never thought you could be. He barely escaped. And he's spent every day since sealing that cave, ensuring no one else suffers the same fate. Until Hunter Nana Wang follows him one night.Curious, reckless, and too brave for her own good, Nana is Linkon City's strongest hunter—trained to fight Wanderers, not the impossible creatures that exist beyond dimensions. When a surprise attack shatters Zayne's carefully maintained seal, both of them are pulled through the portal into Avalon: a broken city suspended between life and death, where demons, vampires, and hybrids hunt the few remaining humans. Separated by the portal's cruel logic, Nana wakes in an abandoned classroom with no weapons, no backup, and no idea how to survive. Within minutes, she's being hunted. Within hours, she's convinced she's going to die. Then she meets Mina—a survivor who's been trapped in Avalon for a month, who teaches Nana that the only way to escape this nightmare is to become a nightmare yourself.As Nana learns to fight creatures that shouldn't exist, as she loses people she comes to love, as she grows harder and stronger and more desperate, one thought keeps her going: Find Zayne. Escape together. Survive. But Zayne is fighting his own battle, alone in a realm where he's already spent three years learning to be a killer. And when they finally reunite, they discover that Avalon has one rule that changes everything: The only way out appears once a year, during the blood moon cycle, when thousands of vampires wake and hunt. And anyone bitten transforms instantly. One portal. One chance. Two people who love each other enough to sacrifice everything. In Avalon, love isn't just about living together. Sometimes it's about choosing who gets to live at all.

The world ended the day God descended. The Human Emperor vanished. His nine subordinates fell. And the seas began to rot and a corrosive stench filled the air. 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.

Rosaline, a seemingly ordinary salesperson—but beneath the surface, she is a 'Hunter.' In a world where dungeons are 'catastrophes,' the life of a Hunter is never their own to choose.

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.
