After killing a monster, instead of leveling up... you leveling down?
---
An entity known only as The Dark Programmer sends monsters to the human world from outer space. For some reason, he hates humanity and wants to drive them to extinction.
Another entity, called The White Programmer, opposes his actions and gives humans a chance to survive by awakening them as players.
A boy named Azael awakens as a player. At first, he is excited-until he fights a monster, wins, and instead of leveling up, his level drops to zero. He tries again, and now it's -1. His stats also decrease significantly.
He is obviously disappointed. But later, he notices something new: he gains a unique negative skill. By sacrificing his potential for stats, he unlocks new abilities with unknown potential.

Gold Fever (M×M) ✔
"We caused the end of the world. Turns out it's easier than you might think it is. All you need is a group of eco anarchists and an ounce of magic, and the world goes down in a poof." After another manic episode, Phoenix gets written off his parents' will, and he's trying to find a reason to keep living. Causing the end of the world and being the only one who can save the world wasn't exactly what he had in mind. Phoenix wasn't meant to have magical abilities, and he most definitely shouldn't have been able to make all the money in the world disappear just by thinking about it. To make matters worse, it came with a minor side effect: a disease called Gold fever. In other words, people started to turn into gold. Over the course of a single day, Phoenix becomes the most hated person in the world. As the economy collapses around them, only three of his friends are willing to stay by his side. Their job is to keep Phoenix alive while he tries to make money reappear and find a cure to Gold fever. Which turns out to be more challenging than they thought, as they find out someone is tailing Phoenix with the intention to kill.Complete

ECHOES OF THE INNER WORLD: MY INCREDIBLE LEVELING SYSTEM
The world as it once was has crumbled. Cities lie in ruins, skyscrapers toppled like fallen giants, and homes are nothing more than shattered shells. From the chaos, monstrous creatures emerge, preying on the remnants of humanity. In the midst of destruction, some humans awaken strange abilities, a flicker of hope against the endless darkness. Humans managed to reclaim parts of the Human lands and defended it for many generations. Then one day, a boy discovers a mysterious system, a power that grows with him day by day, shaping him into something more than human. But just as he managed to became stronger, an alien force descends upon Earth, ruthless and unstoppable. Humans are driven from their planet, forced to flee, seeking refuge in the strange, hidden world within the boy himself. Now hunted and feared, the earthlings must abandon their old forms, reshaping their genes to survive as a new race-born of desperation, evolution, and the boundless power of a single awakened human.
