apocalypse

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

[Tycoon of the apocalypse] The world ended the same day Julien failed his job interview.

The highest rank in existence except… it gave him no stat boost at all. [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 merely the distributor.] Swords that can split the sea and Potions which can heal fatal wounds. All of it is within his reach.

And in a collapsing multiverse, the man who controls the supply… controls everything.

Daniel Von isn't a chosen hero or a legendary mage. He is an exhausted slacker born with a passive, "useless" attribute: [Lucky Charm]. For years, he used his luck to find the best mattresses and avoid jury duty. But as the apocalypse turns the sky purple and the cities to rubble, Daniel’s luck transforms into a localized sanctuary.

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.

Samuel Wong… A 24-year-old man who already feels like his life is over. He works long shifts in a factory, drifts through his days without direction, and watches his health deteriorate until doctors diagnose him with lung cancer. With no real options left, he agrees to undergo an experimental treatment that might save his life. Before he can even find out if it worked, the world collapses. On his way to the hospital, violent animal attacks erupt across the city. What begins as scattered incidents turns into chaos within hours. Streets fill with blood, emergency lines go silent, and something unnatural spreads faster than anyone can contain it. In the middle of the panic, Samuel saves a little girl, but he is bitten in the process. He was taken and sealed inside a pod as society fell apart around him. When he wakes up, the world is unrecognizable. Five years have passed. Civilization has fractured into isolated settlements surrounded by ruins. Mutants roam the wastelands, some mindless and savage, others organized into dangerous factions. Massive predators stalk the outskirts of human outposts. Survival is brutal and uncertain. Samuel quickly realizes he is not the same man who went under. His body reacts differently. His endurance, instincts, and strength feel wrong in ways he cannot explain. The more he survives, the more questions grow. As he forms bonds with other survivors and defends from evolving threats, Samuel is forced into a role he never imagined for himself. A protector and a leader when there is no one else strong enough. But surviving is not enough. If he wants to protect the friends and people he has met in this broken world, he needs to uncover the truth about what happened to him, what caused the mutations, and why he feels like he was meant to wake up in this new age of monsters.

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.

Reyan’s ordinary life shatters in a single morning when a mysterious virus outbreak transforms people into terrifying, predatory creatures. As the city of Niraya descends into chaos, Reyan fights to survive, protect his daughter, and navigate a world where friends can become enemies in an instant.

Earth was once a perfect utopia, rebuilt by humanity with the aid of the MIAN system. Disease, poverty, and war had become relics of the past. But perfection was fragile. When a catastrophe struck, civilization collapsed overnight. Cities fell. Technology died. Humanity regressed into an age of swords, knights, and forgotten ruins. The remnants of ancient power reshaped reality itself, giving birth to a new world of fantasy and terror.

Stripped of his trust, his future, and his purpose, Kayon was left with nothing but pain. But in the depths of ruin, he discovered something long forgotten—an ancient power buried beneath the bones of the old world. A power that chose him. With it, Kayon rises again. Not as a hero, but as a conqueror. He will build an empire greater than any before it. He will reshape the world according to his will. But he is not alone. A mysterious entity of unimaginable power watches him from the shadows, opposing his rise at every step. As Kayon ascends toward greatness, only one question remains: Will he become strong enough to defy the force that destroyed the world itself… or will he become something far more terrifying?

A conscious sinner falls into a coma and awakens in a world that feels too real to be called a dream. There, the signs of the end times unfold without hysteria, lies speak with logic, and conscience leaves marks that cannot be erased. He worships out of fear, repents without any promise of salvation, and witnesses the world coming to an end, while the truth of himself collapses first.

Marcus Cole, an urban planner in his previous life, finds himself in the dangerous back alleys of the Marvel Universe after a fatal accident. He has inherited a new body and a cosmic directive: the Mutant Nation System. This interface isn't just about individual power; it’s a civilization-building tool designed to foster a stable, thriving future for mutantkind. As Sentinels hunt and the world fears the "mutant menace," Marcus doesn't join the X-Men or the Brotherhood. Instead, he founds New Haven, a sanctuary for those the world has cast aside. Using his knowledge of infrastructure and the system’s ability to coordinate mutant powers, he must turn a group of refugees into a sovereign nation. In a world of gods and monsters, Marcus is building something even more dangerous: a future where mutants no longer have to hide. The System: Mutant Nation (MNS) Resonance Bonding: The core of Marcus's influence. He can form "Bonds" with other mutants, allowing him to share their abilities or grant them tactical buffs. As the bond grows, he gains access to a portion of their power class (Alpha, Beta, Gamma), turning him into a versatile powerhouse. Civilization Administrative Interface: A high-level management HUD that allows Marcus to plan and oversee "New Haven." It tracks population growth, resource management, and structural integrity, treating the construction of a mutant city like a high-stakes strategy game. Tactical Coordination (The Hive Mind): Through telepathic links (like the one with Sofia), the system allows Marcus to coordinate dozens of mutants to move and fight as a single, synchronized unit. This turns a disorganized group of "Morlocks" into an elite military force. Strain & Integration: Personal power comes at a cost. Using borrowed abilities generates "Strain." If Marcus pushes too hard without proper rest, the system risks physical collapse. He must carefully balance his personal development with the needs of his growing nation.

The gods want him erased. But Aren has already begun to consume their secrets. https://discord.gg/RpqJQ6Yys
