    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.

    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.

    The world has ended. Zombies rule the ruins, and humanity survives behind fortified bases. Among the survivors travels **Leaf Héroux**, a mysterious reborn woman hiding overwhelming power, accompanied by her highly trained German Shepherd. She only wants to travel quietly. That plan ends when she saves three-year-old **Lily Marchini** from a zombie horde. **"Sister, carry Lily."** "Walk." **"No. Carry."** "...Fine." After Lily refuses to let go of her, a group of zombie hunters begs Leaf to escort her to the **world's strongest base**. Leaf agrees. Big mistake. The moment Lily's family sees her, they refuse to let Leaf leave. Her mother grabs her hand. **"You saved my daughter. You're family now."** Her father nods. **"And family stays."** Grandma immediately starts fussing over her. **"You're too thin, dear. Eat."** Grandpa adds, **"And sleep. You're staying with us."** Then comes the worst of them all- **Alexander Marchini**, Lily's uncle and the terrifying Marshal of the strongest base. A giant of a man feared by thousands. He grabs Leaf's sleeve. **"Don't leave."** "I'm leaving." **"No."** "You're the Marshal." **"I can resign."** "You can't." **"Then take me with you."** "..." **"Please, Wifey."** And somehow, the strongest Marshal in the apocalypse becomes the clingiest man in her life. Leaf wanted to remain unnoticed. Instead, she gained a tiny daughter-like shadow, an overprotective family, and one enormous Marshal who refuses to let her go. **The apocalypse was supposed to be dangerous.** **Nobody warned Leaf about the Manchini family.** ☆Please vote, comment, and follow my page ☆ (ФωФ)Pwease

    Author : 周果子的肺 Associated Names : 末世後被前男友救了 Translators: Afei-transmtl, Nicole 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.

    The world did not end in an instant. It ended slowly-quietly-like something dying while still pretending to live. Serein Valdez learned to survive in that silence. Not because she was strong, but because she paid attention to things other people ignored. She learned how to move through ruined cities, how to avoid danger before it showed itself, and how to stay invisible long enough to live another day. She never planned to get involved with anyone. Especially not him. Leviandro Solenne is the kind of man who survives without asking permission from the world. Former military. Controlled. Detached. A man who moves like every decision has already been made long before it happens. When Serein finds him surrounded in the ruins-outnumbered, cornered, seconds away from death-she knows she should walk away. She doesn't. That single moment binds them in a world that punishes mistakes and calls attachment a weakness. He doesn't trust her. She shouldn't have saved him. But in a place where survival is no longer about strength alone, but about choice, instinct, and consequence- leaving each other becomes harder than surviving the world itself. And when the quiet finally ends, what's left behind is not just destruction. But the things they were never supposed to feel.

    [BOOK 2 - SEQUEL TO WITHERING WORLD] It only takes an earthquake and a breathtaking discovery of enhanced human abilities for Jesse's life to change. WITHER was conquered three years ago, bringing brighter days to Beacontown and its allies. The blue mycelium antidote is now the people's weapon, keeping the disease in its grave. And as a plus, the New Order's friendship has never been closer. But when a war is lost, not everyone wants to accept defeat, especially not the disease that'd almost doomed humanity. A wicked mutation is underway, too remorseless to spare even the ones who have the greatest chance of survival. This new, blood-curdling variant is wiser, stronger and has stolen the very tactic that Jesse uses to bring home the victory every time - teamwork. Now forcing the infected to their side, WITHER taunts at the antidote that no longer cures. What hope is left for the world? ~~~~ -PERSPECTIVES- [JESSE - 1ST PERSON] [LUKAS - 1ST PERSON] [PETRA - 1ST PERSON] ****

    This is the follow up to the previous book which is also a prequel to A Weald's storyline. The purpose of publishing the new series is to grant the readers a more accurate perspective of what the events of my world were before the original storyline which is A Weald. But this book will be different, since the story in this one originates in Zarim's Tree, but it will not remain there as it has been so far. Now it is time to see Orinthal, Varuktesh, Urkashur and Nivarash. Zarim is not a participant in this battle, so we will focus on the region in which the battle takes place.

    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.

    My ordinary, happy teenage life ended that day. Chaos swept everything away. The end of the world? Maybe. But more importantly, it was the beginning of my new life: that of a survivor. When everything collapses, your priorities shift. What matters takes on a whole new face. The questions become raw, immediate: what am I going to wipe with after taking a dump? How will Romain see clearly once his contact lenses expire tomorrow? And Nadia-how will she continue her antiretroviral therapy? And then, in the middle of all that, a thought both absurd and out of place: will Syvannah love me? In the long run, other questions haunt me: what caused this cataclysm? A natural disaster? A nuclear war? An alien invasion? One thing's for sure: tomorrow won't be a walk in the park.

    If the world of Rain World was rotting, sickly being, the world now is nothing but a dusty skeleton, half buried in the sand, wishing to finally sink back into the earth and be at peace. But alas, the endless march of progress will not let Mother Earth pass away peacefully. Even as The Cycle halted, and the Iterators collapsed into rusting hulks of steel... Life, however brutal, finds a way. ---- This is just a fun project I just wanna work on while I'm blank on ideas for my other stories. This'll be short, maybe 10 chapters, probably less. This is gonna be heavily based off of the Fallout games, most notably Fallout 2, a tiny little bit of Dune and Warhammer 40K. This won't be a Reader story, the main character has a name. Oh, and I'll be crossposting this to AO3 if this does well, because I'm GREEDY and I LOVE BEING AN EVIL PERSON HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. More info in the opening chapter.

    Set 500 years after a devastating nuclear war, humanity has rebuilt in the only habitable lands left: Australia and New Zealand. In this new society, influence is dictated by "Awakened" superhuman powers, closely guarded by a corrupt central government and the elite Academy of the Divines. Enter Dio Conti. To the world, he is just an ordinary boy from a quiet farming town. But Dio harbors a massive secret: he possesses a unique, unexplainable talent that allows him to see the hidden truth behind the world's rigid power system. Realizing the Awakening system is a rigged game designed to keep humanity weak, the twelve-year-old genius sets out to break all the rules. By manipulating the very system that governs them, Dio begins recruiting a loyal, fiercely protective squad of scholars, martial artists, and outcasts. Together, they will hack the system, unravel a centuries-old demonic conspiracy, and become the most overpowered force the new world has ever seen. *** ### Main Characters: * **Dio Conti:** The young, strategic mastermind who uses his hidden talents to exploit the world's power system and build an unstoppable found family. * **Ranko:** A fierce, heavily muscled martial artist from the Murim Alliance desperate to find a place to belong. * **Clara:** A disgraced military heiress and powerful 'Warrior of Love' who starts as Dio's mentor before joining his unconventional family. * **Janet:** A brilliant linguistic scholar who transforms into a 'Spider Girl' to protect those she loves. ### Themes & Genres: Progression Fantasy, LitRPG Elements, Found Family, Harem/Polyamory, System Hacking, Overpowered Protagonist, Sci-Fi/Post-Apocalyptic. **⚠️ Content Warning:** *The Divine Tragedy* explores mature elements and contains strong themes, including depictions of mental illness and trauma (e.g., severe Alzheimer's), religious blasphemy (angelic/demonic lore applied to the System), and light erotica/romantic intimacy. Reader discretion is advised.
