    Jack didn't ask to save the world. He just wanted to run his convenience store in peace. Then he woke up in a wasteland. No town. No neighbors. No Wi-Fi. Just cracked red earth, dead trees, and a voice in his head calling itself the Limitless Omniversal Supply System. The LOSS System. Jack laughed for a very long time. The system was not amused. Now he has a fully stocked store, unlimited water and electricity, and a system that's somehow both all-powerful and deeply offended by everything he says. To survive in a world where the average temperature hits 52°C, Jack will have to sell supplies, make allies, build shelter, and figure out why his little store might be the first step toward bringing a dead world back to life. One cold soda at a time.

    Author : 周果子的肺 Associated Names : 末世後被前男友救了 Translator: Afei-transmtl Link: https://afeitransmtl.blogspot.com/2025/03/when-i-become-heir-of-evil-god.html Synopsis: Cui Xisheng had chased Meng Jiangtian for three years, sharing the most intimate moments for just as long. He thought they had been in a relationship for three years. But on the day Meng Jiangtian's white moonlight ex-girlfriend returned from abroad, he left without hesitation. That was when Cui Xisheng realized he had only ever been a "regular friend" whom Meng Jiangtian called upon at will. Heartbroken, Cui Xisheng ate three large bowls of food in one go, only to end up vomiting so badly that he was rushed to the hospital. When the doctor congratulated him on being one month pregnant, Cui Xisheng nearly got into a fight with them. After all, he was a man-a pure-blooded man. Yet, as someone who studied traditional Chinese medicine, Cui Xisheng ran multiple self-checks, all of which confirmed the impossible: he was indeed pregnant. There was only one possible father-Meng Jiangtian. But Cui Xisheng chose not to tell him. Who needed whom, anyway? That belief was shattered a month later when the apocalypse suddenly struck. As an ordinary person without awakened abilities, survival became nearly impossible for Cui Xisheng. When he was on the verge of being bitten by a zombie, he instinctively shielded his two-month-old belly. But the expected pain never came. When Cui Xisheng opened his eyes, he found himself staring at Meng Jiangtian's cold, indifferent face once again. At that moment, he wasn't sure whether to feel relieved or devastated.

    Reborn three days before the apocalypse, Chen Han knows exactly what's coming. One year after the launch of the global hit survival game 【Doomsday Dawn】, the game will descend into reality. Zombies will overrun the world, mutant beasts will hunt humanity, and civilization will collapse overnight. In his previous life, Chen Han survived the apocalypse only to be betrayed and murdered by the woman he loved, who coveted the resources he had risked everything to obtain. This time, he won't make the same mistake. Taking advantage of the recharge channel not yet being closed, Chen Han spent his entire fortune to activate the game's hidden class: the SSS-Rank Sword Immortal. Armed with knowledge from the future, he discovers a game-breaking loophole that allows him to store uncontaminated food before the apocalypse begins. While others remain unaware of the coming disaster, Chen Han buys out the entire food market, stockpiles endless supplies, awakens hidden opportunities, and prepares to monopolize the resources of the new world.

    Yeji always thought the world would end in fire, or maybe in a flood. But when it came, the end was quiet-broken only by the groans of the dead. They rose in many forms: the stiffs, the lurkers, and the relentless swarmers that consumed entire streets. Humanity didn't fall in a single night. Piece by piece, it unraveled. And survival became more than just outrunning the dead. It became about trust. About hope. About love. And above all...about the ones who remain.

    Azrael is immortal. He doesn't want to save the world. He doesn't want to destroy it. He just wants to be left alone to walk through the rain, build worlds in his head, and watch humanity slowly tear itself apart at its own pace. He doesn't hate people. He's just tired of them. Tired of the noise. Tired of the demands. Tired of the constant, exhausting need for his attention. So he watches. He waits. He goes with the flow. But the few people he actually cares about? He will protect them without hesitation. No warning. No mercy. Just action. This is not a story about good versus evil. It's not a story about a hero or a villain. It's just a story about a being who exists, who creates, who observes, and who refuses to let the world dictate how he lives. Azrael is who he is. And he doesn't care if you like it.

Eight years after the Omega Virus destroyed civilization, fourteen-year-old Hannah Lasswell has spent most of her life behind the walls of the Central Park Refugee Center.

As a Runner, Hannah ventures into the abandoned streets searching for the food and supplies keeping her community alive. She's fast, fearless, stubborn-and has a habit of pushing farther than she should. But when Refugee Centers across the country begin mysteriously falling silent and Hannah encounters a stranger beyond Central Park's protected territory, the world outside the walls suddenly feels more dangerous than ever. With supplies dwindling and something changing beyond Manhattan, Hannah and her twin sister Madison may soon discover that the Freaks aren't the only thing left to fear. In a city cut off from the world, survival means knowing when to run-and who you can trust.

    For 665 days, Hell has walked the Earth. Cities have fallen, humanity is dying, and creatures once confined to scripture now roam freely among the ruins.

A veteran exorcist with a battered faith, a silver cross, a flask hidden beneath his robes, and more enemies in Hell than he cares to count. But on the eve of the 666th day, something changes. The demons know his name. They know his sins. And this time, they are not here to be exorcised. The final reckoning has begun.

    Well, lookie here, another innocent soul stumbled across my book, so ready to be traumatized? (Oh, and read to the end, the buildup is a little long, but it's all worth it {trust}) In the year 3017, humanity had reached one of the most important milestones in science, one that could lift it to heights it never could have even dreamed of. A single invention promised to reshape civilization forever, a discovery capable of elevating mankind beyond its wildest dreams. Or cause the budding flower of a civilization to wither off and die right before it could bloom, and... Humanity lost this cosmic lottery... The world fell. But Earth was never the whole story. Beyond reality lies an endless sea of worlds. Infinite universes drift through a place known only as the White Realm, each following its own history, its own laws, its own fate. Some thrive. Some burn. Some should never have existed at all. And something has begun moving between them. As ancient forces awaken and forgotten creators step back into a war they thought had long since ended, a handful of survivors find themselves caught in a conflict far larger than the collapse of a single world. Because this isn't just the story of humanity's end. It's the story of an infection that refused to stay confined relentlessly slamming against its prison until it finally could leak through. One by one... Entire realities begin to fall. And beyond it all... Something is watching. Waiting. Smiling. ... Still think this is just another end-of-the-world story? Go ahead. Turn the page. I'll give you exactly one chapter before everything goes horribly wrong.

    Losing someone they care about, a troubled wanderer must journey across a wasted world with their new found companion. Finding happiness, meaning, and maybe a little something more with his new friend, Yulin has an unsure but worth while adventure ahead. There are themes like violence, intense and sad scenes, death, and maybe some more romantic related 'intense' scenes as well (mild NSFW). This is a trigger warning. These themes are meant to enhance the plot, but if you're uncomfortable, feel free to skip ahead or even not read this if it's not for you. In any case, I hope you have fun exploring this world, as well as seeing the characters interact with their environment... and each other. *Updates every other Tuesday. I'm excited to share the chapters that I am currently editing, and I would like to hear anything you have to say about the story.
