Second book of RTSSIA Series. Read Book 1 through here: https://www.webnovel.com/book/34280531508761905 --------------- Commander Hans Flemmens is no longer just a survivor. With the Construction Yard deployed and a functioning base established, he now commands an army that does not tire, does not falter, and does not run out of ammunition. But a base is only the beginning. Beyond the industrial sector lies Grefort City—a hundred-kilometer expanse drowning in millions of infected. Hive clusters lurk beneath its streets, evolving with every passing day. And somewhere within its depths, the truth behind the zombie virus and Project HELIX waits to be uncovered. To secure his foothold, Hans must do more than defend. He must expand. Strategic facilities must be captured. Power grids must be restored. Entire districts must be reclaimed—one block at a time. Yet the infected are not his only enemies. Other survivors have begun to rise. And not all of them are willing to follow. In a world where the dead never rest and the living grow more dangerous by the day—a Commander must decide: Will he save what remains of humanity… or die trying to conquer it?

Su Ming was a regular office worker. Then one bad day (and one fatal overtime shift) later, he woke up in the Heavenly Cloud Sect, one of the greatest cultivation sects under the heavens. Sounds amazing, right? A fresh start, endless opportunities, beautiful mountains, flying swords, except… His master had already vanished. His new title? Peak Master of White Lotus Peak. White Lotus Peak’s glorious legacy? Dust, an incomplete cultivation technique that nobody understands, and exactly zero disciples. No resources. No prestige. No future. And to make matters worse, he was already a cripple - on a ticking clock. … Su Ming rubbed his temples. “Really? Out of all the possibilities, I get this?” He sighed. But if the heavens thought he would quietly play the role of a washed-up cripple, they clearly underestimated an overworked office worker who had binge-read far too many cultivation novels. Follow our Peak Master as he stumbles, schemes, and occasionally slashes his way through the mysterious world of cultivation—amid heaven’s chosen, young masters, villains, and “protagonists”… all while uncovering the so-called mysteries of the great Dao.

The first mistake humanity made was believing the apocalypse wanted them dead. It began everywhere at once. No prophecy. No chosen hero. No explanation. One moment, the world was ordinary. The next, impossible messages appeared across the sky, creatures that should not exist began appearing among the living, and humanity discovered that the rules it had lived by were no longer the only ones that mattered. At first, people thought the world was ending. They were wrong. An end would have been simpler. Kael was only a student when it began. He had no weapon. No class. No plan. Nothing that should have made him special. And nothing that should have allowed him to survive what came next. But he did. Barely. What begins as a desperate struggle to stay alive soon reveals something far larger. The world is changing. So are the people inside it. Levels can be gained. Strength can be earned. Bodies can become capable of things that should have been impossible. And humanity has been given something strangely close to a chance. That may be the most frightening part. Because every new rule raises another question. Why give people the means to grow stronger in a world designed to kill them? Why reward survival? Why allow humanity to adapt at all? And if this is only the first Cycle... what exactly are they being prepared for? Kael has no answers. Neither does anyone else. For now, surviving the next hour is difficult enough. But hour by hour, level by level, the old world is becoming something humanity may no longer recognize. Some people will adapt. Some will break. Some will become something else entirely. And sooner or later, humanity will have to confront a possibility far more unsettling than the end of the world. Perhaps this was never an apocalypse. Perhaps it was a beginning. And whatever started it... may have never wanted them dead at all.

Discord link :- https://discord.gg/6tPfX3d7Pe Life. People say it has meaning. Purpose. Some grand reason you’re supposed to figure out before it’s over. Honestly? I think that’s bullshit. Some people are born strong. Some are born lucky. And some of us are born just… there. Not special enough to matter. Not useless enough to disappear. I tried. I really did. School. Family. Dreams. Didn’t work out. So I ran. From expectations. From people. From myself. And somehow, I ended up here. Inside a game I used to play. The Hero Chronicles. Famous for being unfair. Famous for being impossible. And now I’m part of it. Not as the chosen hero. Not as someone important. Just Leo von Celestial. The human Domain's failure. And the worst part? I've got 40 days until the Path Awakening. The same trial that killed the original Leo in the game. Now it’s my turn.

Each arc won't just solely focus on the MC POV, but characters around their immediate orbit or are extremely important to the plot, but if it ever switches away from the MC to another character, it will be for a brief time. The only character who won't have a second Pov and it will always follow the character is Alice ----------------------------------------------------------------- Will have character portraits created over time, but that is a lot of money and will take time. In the meantime, they will be left blank.

Hey there, I won't lie this whole fanfic is something that will be updated whenever I get inspiration for it. I like to create these stories and work off of the world building inside the world's to explore what could be possible if someone was willing to push the norms of their uses. some of that will mean I will step into pseudo fanon but only in so much as I am using the tech and other power systems that exist in the one piece world in ways the op never intended or showed it being possible to use like that so have no way to confirm whether they would consider it canon or not, I will leave that up to you guys. will have slight alternate universe in it, in that Linlin in this world has not slept with as many men as possible but is instead looking for the perfect person to have her kids with. do with that as you will but yeah she will be the main love interest too. going to try a more slow approach but let me know what you think. please be willing to understand that I have a lot going on and so my updates might not always be great, but if anyone actually bothers reading this then I will try to be good haha. other than that, I would love any constructive criticism as I would really like to improve my works and actually become a decent writer and not just the same old "eh he can kinda write okay fanfics that are the same as every other fanfic" writing level, no offense to all the others writing on here haha.

A wealthy orphan with nothing left to want suddenly hears a System awaken inside his mind — calm, simple, and determined to make him a singer.

Being a bottom feeder in society is an unpleasant experience. That's how Kiro felt after being left for dead in a back alley. Abandoned and disappointed by the 'work hard' ethic his parents left for him. 'At least the heavens are weeping for me.' As the light from his eyes faded, he declared as the last act of defiance. He awoke in a room he hadn't seen in ten years. Whether it was due to sheer luck or divine intervention, he was grateful. 'Through the VR game, Asgard, I'll become filthy rich in this life time.' Kiro was blissfully unaware that his return was a cry for something greater, for the underlying threats that hovered over his world.

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!

All things began with a single choice, a single desire to break the status quo, a moments decision that caused a war between four beings that still rages across uncountable worlds and universes even now.
