apocalypse

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: The main character grows as the story develops. Although he's very naive from the beginning, he matures a lot as the story progresses. There is no NTR or Yuri unless you consider the main character's woman sharing his 'stuff' in a threesome as Yuri, in which case I have nothing for you. Some of the love interests are related to the main character. Discord server if you want to talk or have questions: https://discord.gg/hnXMFwfVR3

The world ended. Then, it began again. Fifteen years after the fall of civilization, Ametrine Ashryn Elaris dies—not as a hero, but as a survivor shaped by ruin, silence, and betrayal. On the day of her death, a soulbound relic hidden for over a decade triggers, returning her to a time the world has already forgotten: a month before the apocalypse begins. She doesn't return to stop the end. She returns to endure it differently. In a world still whole, Ametrine moves in silence—training, gathering, learning. She lays the first stones of a shelter that never existed in the past. What she builds now will outlast fire. What she hides will shape the world to come. And what she remembers… she will never forgive. The system that rules the new world is not her enemy. It never was. Designed not to control, but to guide, it watches quietly, offering strength to those willing to seize it. But someone—gods, constellations, something else—is watching through it. Observing. Waiting. As the apocalypse begins again, Ametrine will protect those who never survived the first time. She will challenge the future that betrayed her. And when the time comes… she will confront the one person who hurt her most— not the girl standing before her now, but the best friend who destroyed her fifteen years from now. In this life, she will not just survive. She will create what never was: An Ashborne Kingdom.

Blair is heartbroken on discovering her husband and younger sister were secretly dating. She badly looked for a child in her marriage with her husband, and was hurt to discover her younger sister is pregnant for her husband. Unexpectedly, an apocalypse starts out in the midst of a confrontation, and Blair’s husband chose to save her younger sister over her, causing Blair to perish and die a painful death in the hands of the monsters. Fortunately, Blair is reborn in one of her favorite apocalypse stories, weeks before the apocalypse hits— not as the kind female lead who gets doted on and sought after by the four male leads of the story, but as the jealous villainess whose end goal is to kill the female lead and make the male leads fall for her instead. However, Blair soon discovers that her younger sister and husband were also reborn into this same story, and they also retained their memories! Her sister is reborn as the female lead of this story, and her cheating husband, as one of the men in the story. Unlike those two who still had the same face from their past life, Blair now has the appearance of the villainess, giving her the upper hand and a perfect opportunity to avenge herself! Sadly, she is forced to halt her revenge plans and stock up for the upcoming apocalypse instead, cause chasing the female lead harm means she’ll meet the same painful end as the villainess met in the story. What’s Blair to do? To avoid that end, she kisses her perfect revenge goodbye and focuses on stocking up, cause she wasn’t interested in being a villianess anyway or chasing after four men who were shallow and arrogant! The villainess’ reputation in the story is ruined, and everyone avoids her. But Blair is determined to repair it in the short period left, and help her new family survive in the upcoming apocalypse. However, her sudden changed personality shocked everyone, especially the male leads, who believed she had an ulterior motive, so now they wouldn’t leave her alone or stop pestering her!

Synopsis In a modern world suddenly overrun by dungeons, monsters, and elemental chaos, an ordinary young man named Kai awakens a power long lost to time — the Elemental Soul Link. While most awakened humans gain limited systems that confine them to common combat roles like Fighter, Mage, Healer, or Assassin, Kai becomes something more: a conduit between fallen monsters and primal elements. With the unique ability to bind the soul of a defeated creature to elemental forces, Kai can summon monsters reborn through Water, Fire, Wind, and Lightning — each shaping his combat style and weapon in battle. But the elements don’t serve just anyone; they choose their host. And Kai’s connection runs deeper than power — it’s a pact of will, spirit, and purpose. As society fractures under the pressure of dungeon outbreaks and growing corruption, Kai must forge unlikely alliances and battle monsters warped by corrupted elemental nodes. Each dungeon holds both danger and truth — truths about the origin of the elements, the hidden war between factions, and his mysterious role as the first and only Soul Linker

Ryo thought moderating online drama was the worst part of his job. After years of night shifts, caffeine, and defending the Internet’s most polarizing figure — Llewellyn, the world’s most famous hero, the System’s golden boy, and the only person alive with Transcendent-level Elemental Mastery — Ryo figured he’d seen it all. Conspiracy theories? Fan petitions? Cult-like followers? All in a night’s work. Until the System decides that arguing online at 2 AM now counts as combat experience. Ryo’s unwavering defense and obsessive threat tracking apparently make him the ideal support partner for Llewellyn himself… so the System sends him straight into battle. His role? Magical crisis management, unstable Elemental forces moderation, and surviving long enough to reset whatever magic is currently warping reality. Easy, right? Except that now he’s neck-deep in Dungeons and Distorted Realms — and just a little too fixated on Llewellyn’s mastery in battle. And everything else. It would be fine if the System’s matchmaking algorithms didn’t keep pushing them closer. ‿︵‿︵‿‿︵‿︵‿‿︵‿︵‿‿︵‿ What you’ll find here: System | Magic | BL | Magical Apocalypse | Character-driven | Feral Partnership | Emotionally repressed chaos (slow burn-ish + mutual pining) | Banter | Combat | System mechanics | Elemental Magic | VR Games | The apocalypse is already happening, and the internet is not handling it well.
