apocalypse

The war between America and China has plunged the world into Apocalypse, Twice. Nuclear Fallout followed by Zombie Apocalypse.

Almost six centuries had passed since the Shattering, and its aftershock still shaped every corner of the world. In the ruins it left behind, Luciel chased meaning with the one thing he hated the most: an ordinary, powerless life. Then, a miracle descended, granting him his wish through a mysterious dream. It delivered him a sword, and his soul awakened into the ranks of Resonators. However, Luciel awakened with something no Resonator possessed: a rune system. It read the soul of everyone, including himself, and translated them into an evolving score. Along with his newfound power, ambition arose from the depth of his soul: destroying everything in its path, or becoming the myriad world's savior, everything was possible in his mind.

The world did not end. It evolved. After war and radiation nearly wiped out humanity, the survivors changed. The strong claimed new domains. Sky rulers soared above the clouds. Ocean dwellers ruled the abyss. Forest people became one with nature. Mountain giants stood above ancient peaks. Cave dwellers survived in endless darkness. Ice dwellers endured the frozen wastelands. And desert survivors walked beneath burning skies and endless sand. In this new world, strength decides everything. And the weakest of all? Farmers. Kai Louvan is one of them. A man so useless, he cannot even grow a single potato. Then the system makes a mistake. A strange, sarcastic Evolution System chooses him… and calls him the worst possible host. No talent. No power. No future. Just a shovel… and a suspicious caterpillar named Kroko. But something is wrong. Kai does not grow like the others. He evolves differently. From living forests to abyss oceans, from sky territories to silent caves, from burning deserts to frozen lands… every step is a fight to survive. Every battle makes him stronger. Every evolution changes him. And the more he evolves… the less human he becomes. Now ancient creatures are waking. And a forbidden title is getting closer. The Apex of Evolution. Will Kai save humanity? Or become something far beyond it?

The weakest girl in the apocalypse accidentally became the obsession of multiple apex predators. Unfortunately for them, predators don’t share easily. Felicity was supposed to die on the first day of the apocalypse. Zombies devour the weak. Beastmen rule the ruins of human cities. Strength decides everything now. Felicity has none. Small, soft spoken, and completely unsuited for a world like this, she survives only because Victor finds her first. Victor is a winged apex predator feared by every beastman who crosses his path. He does not protect strangers. But once he chooses something… he does not let it go. Unfortunately for him, other predators have started noticing her too. A wolf who watches too quietly. A snake whose patience feels dangerous. A lion who refuses to leave her side. Predators who should never share anything. Except her. Because something about Felicity is changing them. And in a beast ruled apocalypse, predators were never meant to share. Unfortunately for them, Felicity might be worth learning how.

༺❘✦ Ryo thought moderating online fan drama about Llewellyn, the world's most famous hero, was the worst part of his job... What he didn't expect was the System deciding his online arguments counted as combat experience and dropping him into a magical apocalypse with Llewellyn himself! He also didn't expect the Internet to start shipping them! And he certainly didn't expect the System's idea of "combat partner" to involve an absurd amount of physical contact disguised as Healing Bonuses, shared body heat, Dungeon environments that look like dates, or being randomly teleported onto Llewellyn's lap! Llewellyn might be the strongest person on Earth, but he has no one to watch his back. Luckily for him, Ryo has had to deal with his unhinged online following for years… and he is more than willing to get his hands dirty in person. ━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━ Content Note: The rating goes up as the story progresses!

Soren Valmere, unawakened and treated as family garbage, is forced into an arranged marriage with Ethea Morvain, the once-legendary Ice Empress now completely paralyzed after a catastrophic Gate incident. Both families exile them to a modest house in a working-class neighborhood, washing their hands of two "problems" they no longer want to deal with. But on their wedding night, Soren awakens a hidden power: the Investment Authority. Whatever he invests in Ethea—time, money, care, emotion—returns to him amplified by 10,000 times when she achieves breakthroughs. Buy her medicine with his last credits? Receive a hundred million in return. Spend sleepless nights helping her move a single finger? Gain decades of martial experience instantly. Risk his life to save hers? Unlock abilities that shatter the heavens. As he pours everything into the wife everyone abandoned, 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!

How to survive as a summoner.

Awakening a Legendary Class in the Apocalypse…? .... The sky cracked like mirror, Spewing Every monster Imaginable. When an abyssal tear devours the heavens, Earth is dragged into a universe where gods starve, monsters evolve, and humanity is nothing more than livestock waiting to be harvested. Xavier Crownheart was supposed to die forgotten. Framed. Imprisoned. Abandoned. Instead, the apocalypse gives him something far worse than death. A class that rewards execution. Every kill must be perfect. Every strike must be final. And the longer his streak continues… the more inhuman he becomes. But power always comes with a price. When Xavier attempts to summon a familiar to survive, he doesn’t call a beast. He captures Zerin—an Abyssal Queen, one of the very architects of Earth’s destruction. She was meant to enslave him. Now she is bound to him. A predator forced into chains. A human slowly becoming something else. As cities collapse and survivors turn on each other, Xavier walks a path no one else dares to take: Not a hero. Not a savior. A ruler in the making. Rejected by humanity. Feared by the weak. He builds a new order from the ashes—one where monsters and outcasts stand beside him… or kneel beneath him. But the deeper his execution streak climbs, the clearer the truth becomes— The Abyss didn’t choose Earth by accident. And Xavier… was never meant to stay human. Discord: https://discord.gg/rfYm9nx7X6 A/N: Kingdon Building Element will be the main focus in later part of the story so please be patient, moreover the MC Will experience explosive growth in strength to fight the enemies that threaten to end the peace that he had created.

What is a monster? Humans normally define monsters as fear inducing, bloodthirsty creatures bent on destruction. But to Noah? Monsters were the humans who despised him without justifications, who taught him to loathe himself just for being human. Life was hell, a hell that was surrounded by “monsters”. Until one day, the world changed. Humans were suddenly graced by a Divine voice, one that warned of their extinction, but also promised them power. They were bestowed with a system, a system to aid their fight for survival, to survive against monsters. And when humanity was given that chance to survive, Noah chose to walk a path of a tamer, to befriend the very monsters that were threatening the humans' extinction. As he tamed the monsters, learned from them, bonded with them, shedding the last remnants of what it was to be human. Noah began to wonder, is it wrong to be considered a monster? Feedback is definitely appreciated, good or bad, let's make the story good together. I would like to note that the main character isn’t completely ruthless, he's more chaotically neutral. There’s a lot of good stories out there with ruthless, bloodthirsty, cold hearted main characters so if that’s what your interest in then I’m sorry to disappoint you.

On a storm-soaked night, the Unezugawa District is consumed by devils born from humanity’s deepest fears. Seventeen-year-old Haruto watches helplessly as the Abandonment Devil—an entity forged from the terror of being left alone—slaughters his parents before his eyes. Yet when the monster corners him, something is wrong. Haruto does not tremble. He does not beg. He feels… nothing. His emptiness draws the attention of something far worse. In a flash of crimson, the legendary Crimson Devil appears—an ancient entity once believed to have nearly triggered the apocalypse centuries ago before being sealed by exorcists. Fascinated by the boy who cannot fear, it offers Haruto a contract: Power beyond human limits… In exchange for a precious memory each time he uses it. Haruto accepts. But there is a truth no one knows. The Crimson Devil dwelling inside him was once meant to begin the end of the world. Instead of destroying humanity, it chooses something unthinkable—it spares the brave and forms a covenant with one. To prevent future catastrophes and hunt the very devils born from mankind’s fear, Haruto joins the Exorcists—the same organization that once fought against the Crimson Devil itself. Now feared by devils… Suspected by humans… And slowly losing the memories that make him who he is… Haruto walks the thin line between salvation and annihilation. Because if the devil inside him ever changes its mind— The apocalypse will not be stopped.

After being bound by System 131, Xiang Kui started a journey of helping some female supporting roles to fulfill their ‘reasonable’ wishes in order to earn enough points to go back.

After waking up, everyone will travel through a wasteland world, and the survivors will face various challenges such as acid rain, extreme cold, extreme heat and mutant creatures. Every corner holds unknown dangers, and the survivors have to adapt to this harsh environment. To withstand natural disasters, the survivors must build their own shelters in this dangerous land, stockpile enough water and resources to survive before the disaster strikes. While others struggle daily to gather rotten scraps and fight over limited supplies, fear and desperation slowly spread through the wasteland. Vikram Parker awakened a plant system. While others are scraping for a little bit of food, Vikram can cultivate crops. While survivors reinforce their shelters with fragile wood and broken metal, he grows living walls of vines and sturdy thornwood. His plants can bear fruits, purify water, and gradually transform barren land into fertile soil.

Every "Diver" gets 96 hours on Earth before Thirstfall drags them back. Most return broken. Some don't return at all. Dryden Sands survived that loop for ten years—until he reached Rank-A... and got killed by the person he trusted most. But the Sacred Codex he'd found had other plans—it reset everything to Day One. Now Dryden remembers everything—hidden dungeons, broken rules, future disasters. But the System remembers him... And in Thirstfall, anomalies don't just struggle—they get purged. --------------

Alex Chen died a nobody, a 28-year-old warehouse worker who never accomplished anything meaningful. When the Awakening came, transforming Earth into a world of dungeons, monsters, and Systems, Alex opened his eyes to a nightmare. His System was broken. Corrupted. Useless. Or so he thought. At the stroke of midnight, when the world sleeps and shadows reign, Alex's System finally activates. For exactly one hour, he becomes something else entirely, the Midnight Monarch, wielding power that shouldn't exist, bending reality to his will. But when 1 AM strikes, the power vanishes. He's left weak, vulnerable, and hunted. Now Alex must survive in a world where the strong devour the weak—using 23 hours of cunning to support 1 hour of dominance. He'll build alliances without revealing his secret. He'll clear impossible dungeons and face deadly threats. And he'll discover that his broken System isn't a mistake. It's a message. Someone—or something—left him a glitch in the system. And they're watching. === ONE HOUR OF UNLIMITED POWER. TWENTY-THREE HOURS OF SURVIVAL. ===

Princess Sorevna Kalyshev is next in line to her 81 year old father to rule the Novazyr Empire. But just as she's about to become Empress, the Empire enters distress.

After a fatal convoy crash in Richmond, Ethan Cole awakens in the thin, teenage body of one of the Delinquents sent to Earth. He is bound to the WONKRU ETERNAL System, a civilization-building protocol that rewards him for constructing fortifications and managing population stability. As the 100 face the brutal reality of the Ground, Ethan uses Basic Construction II to turn a crash site into a fortress, all while hearing "The Voices"—disturbing fragments of fallen civilizations—whispering tactical advice in his mind. He doesn't just want to survive the radioactive wilderness; he intends to build a kingdom that will never fall to the fire again.

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.
