apocalypse

Zombie travelogue comedy in the tropics. Debauched expats from hell get more than they bargained for when it turns out their tiny island paradise is ground zero for a zombie apocalypse.

At exactly 7:45 AM, Arin Vale died in a school bathroom poisoned by the stepsister who smiled at her every morning. By 8:00 AM, the first infected rose. By 9:00 AM, the school was locked down. By sunset, it became a slaughterhouse. Arin remembers it all. The screaming. The betrayals. The stench of blood in the hallways. The way her so-called “family” used her death to become the school’s fake savior. And how she died alone in a cold, rotting locker. But fate isn’t finished with her. When she opens her eyes, she’s back in the classroom exactly one hour before the outbreak begins. No superpowers. No overpowered cheats. Just a cold, quiet System in her head that rewards survival, not strength. And a second chance. This time, Arin won’t beg to be saved. She won’t run for people who would leave her behind. She won’t die trying to protect a school that never saw her. She’ll survive. She’ll plan. And she’ll make sure Zara Vale, her beautiful, venom-tongued stepsister, falls harder than anyone else. But survival comes with a price especially when trust is dead, the infected are evolving, and danger wears a friendly face. In this school-turned-wasteland, the only rule left is: Adapt. Betray. Or die. And Arin? She may not be a hero. But this time… she’s the one writing the ending.

"Surviving the apocalypse? Child's play. I once survived a guild meeting where half the wizards tried to curse each other over tea. The zombies? Less dramatic." "The zombies are the least of your worries. I’ve lived centuries, faced demons, and still have to listen to a five-year-old argue why ice cream counts as dinner." "So the world’s ending and you think you’re in charge because you’ve got a shiny dragon scale? Adorable. Sit down, Sparkles, and let the grown-ups talk." "I’m sorry, did you say you were the strongest survivor here? That’s cute. When you’ve defeated an entire undead army with one hand, we can compare notes." ---- The cover is mine. The cover is MC.

Bai Shen was a normal 18-years-old who suddenly realized that he was more special than other people. Not only did he predict the apocalypse that was about to hit Earth, but he also made the necessary preparations for it. By using his broken Talent to steal attributes left and right, he didn't have to worry about anything else. "Zombies? I can easily crush them!" "Mutants? I was pretty hungry..." "Hah! Even other races wish to get a piece of this daddy! Let them come, I'll steal their attributes too, and then I'll accompany my beautiful girls." Different, but also simple-minded, Bai Shen was confident in his own abilities; a few obstacles won't stop his ascension. Watch as Bai Shen slowly steal-... Slowly rises above everyone else! ----- Author here: The story would be a bit slow in the beginning, but then the pace would take off.

KILL TO EVOLVE. EVOLVE TO SURVIVE. In the Essence Apocalypse, hesitation means death. The mysterious force known as the Essence Record finally descended upon Earth, tearing the world asunder and reshaping it through chaos and evolution. Cities turned to ruins. Animals mutated. Some humans lost their minds, others became monsters. Only a few survived the Awakening… and were granted the right to evolve. A new world was born, where the old rules meant nothing. The only law that remained was survival—where hesitation equals death. Adam, an ordinary college student, finds himself alone, far from home, in a world no longer built for the weak. His only goal: to find his family—if they’re still alive in this broken world. No god, beast, demon, man or zombie shall stop him. As long as he draws breath, he won’t stop.

Have you ever read a novel with such a terrible ending that you wished you could change the story and give the characters you loved the happy ending they deserved? ~~~ I was just another failure of an author, writing stories nobody read, and that never sold. Seeking to improve my writing, I read the most popular novel at that time, Solo Player, to learn what made it so popular. However, as I read this story, I couldn’t help but feel frustrated about the story’s development, which had a terrible ending. Eventually, and quite bitterly, once I ended reading the book, I found myself transmigrated into the very world of this novel. Did I become the Protagonist? A Villain? Or perhaps even an Extra? No, it was much worse than I imagined. Because I ended up becoming the most worthless character that nobody ever cared about in the novel. A character that is often considered the motivation for the protagonist to grow stronger, but also his greatest burden. Someone every reader hated! “I’m the protagonist’s sister…” However, with my knowledge of this novel's events, my worthlessness was about to change. I’ve decided to not only become the strongest but also change the story’s terrible ending! “I won’t let you go inside a Dungeon, it’s too dangerous.” ...As long as I can get this incredibly corny and overprotective brother out of my way! And for some reason, the Constellations won’t stop bothering me. Ding! [The Cosmic Throne {Butterfly That Flies Across The Universe} seems interested in your tenacity!] [She has sponsored 1000000 Plot Points and the [Demon of Calamity Transformation Technique (SS)] Skill!] [The Cosmic Throne {Monkey that Dances in Chaos} finds your chaotic nature amusing!] [He has thrown the [Umbral Chaos Stone Necklace (S Rank)] at you!] [Not enough? He launched the [Immortal Heaven Peach (SSS Rank)] right on your face!] There was something really wrong with the Constellations this time around. Ding! [The Cosmic Throne {Jester Filled With Lies} is happy that you’re bringing despair to your victims!] [He has gifted you the [Jester’s Last Laugh (S Rank Privilege)] and the [Master of Manipulation (SS)] Skill!] [The Cosmic Throne {Maiden that Watches Over Nature} seems happy you’re growing stronger.] [She has gracefully sponsored you with 2000000 Plot Points and Fully Heals All Your Wounds!] [She has also begun to wonder if you could plant some trees for her, gifting you the [Divine World Tree Seedling (SSS Rank)]!] [The Cosmic Throne {Warrior That Seeks Calamity} is satisfied with your battle performance but asks for more battle!] [He has sponsored you with 500000 Plot Points and [Beheading Sword of Destruction (SSS Rank)]!] They simply couldn’t stop gifting me things as if I were some sort of famous streamer for them. “I am grateful, but please just leave me alone already…” Chapters are long, 1500 ~ 2000+ words.

In the ashes of a fallen India, the gods no longer rule—but their relics remain. Dhruv Patel, a 19-year-old dropout surviving in the ruins of Mumbai, stumbles upon a forbidden artifact hidden in the Elephanta Caves. What he awakens is no ordinary system; it's the Saptarishi Protocol, an ancient spiritual construct once wielded by the legendary Seven Sages of India. Now bound to a power older than civilization itself, Dhruv is thrust into a deadly quest: absorb and merge the lost relics scattered across the subcontinent, each guarded by corrupted deities, karmic beasts, or secret cults trying to rewrite history. But these relics do more than grant power; they reveal the true history of India, buried beneath lies, caste, and blood. As divine forces and ancient enemies rise, Dhruv must confront not only monsters and myths but the karmic debt of his soul. In a world where karma is currency, rebirth is power, and truth is a weapon, can one dropout rewrite the fate of a broken nation? The system is online. India is about to be reborn.

The seasoned player of "Abyss of Stars," the [Starfall Master] Li Zi, brings a system template and travels to the game's world, arriving in the era of the game's beta version. This is the worst of times. The cosmic forces and conglomerates collude, causing the doors to the universe to be closed, the planet's resources to be exhausted, and even sunlight to be monopolized. This is also the best of times. All the extraordinary systems are just beginning. In this era, he is the only [Starfall Master] with the final version patch. While people are enthralled by the smoke of plasma guns and cannons, Li Zi has already torn apart battleships with gravity. While superhumans are smug about their awakened abilities, moonlight has already become Li Zi's servant. While the interstellar fleet crosses the Milky Way, Li Zi has just ignited the forty-second star, illuminating the entire universe. "People have been trapped on the ground for too long; they've forgotten that this starry sky should belong to all of us." —Facing the unspeakable aboriginal evil gods, Li Zi, holding a black hole, gently said.

They sold her for a sack of rice. Her parents. Her sister. The man she loved. When the world began to fall apart, Ayla Grant was the first they threw away. Left to die as the undead overran the city, Ayla’s last memory was the sound of her sister laughing and the cold bite of betrayal. But death wasn't the end. > [CRIMSON SYSTEM ACTIVATED.] You have been selected for Rebirth Protocol. Welcome back, Player #13. Objective: Survive. Evolve. Take revenge. Reborn seven days before the apocalypse begins, Ayla is no longer the naive, quiet girl they used to mock. She has seen the end and now, she holds the power to change it. Armed with a living system that rewards bloodshed, desire, and dominance, Ayla will rise from the ashes with only one goal: Burn everything that broke her. The undead aren’t the only predators in this world. And when a ruthless, dangerously seductive survivor with secrets of his own sets his eyes on her, thing's take a big turn.

Empire of Veyl lies in ash and ruin. Rift-Storms split the sky, vomiting horned horrors that feast on cities already starving. The last thing anyone trusts is a pretty face—especially Kio Valaryn’s. Once the throne’s deadliest spy, Kio is branded a traitor after refusing to torture an innocent child for intel. Dragged to a public beheading amid lightning-lit rubble, she expects the blade… until a towering abyss-beast crashes the scaffold, claws dripping violet fire, and claims her with a single, possessive word: “Mine.” The collision awakens the Ero-Thread Nexus—a forbidden system tattooed across Kio’s skin. Each consensual bond with a rift-spawned sovereign threads their power into her body: -Vaun, the Abyss-Wolf King Shadow-warp & bone-crushing strength -Seraph Aurelion, Rust-Wing Fallen Halo-blight that scorches armies -Nyxara, Tide-Drake Leviathan City-drowning tidal command Seven monsters exist. Seven threads will let Kio reseal the rifts or tear reality apart. But every surge of borrowed power pushes the Nexus toward overload—and stamps a death-countdown rune over her heart. Hunted by zealots, bounty guilds, and the crown she once served, Kio must navigate desire as lethal as any battlefield. To survive, she’ll wield passion like a dagger, turning monsters into allies, lovers, and weapons—while the ruins of Veyl burn around them. In a world where pleasure fuels apocalypse and love is a loaded gun, can the Rift-Maiden chain the darkness—or will the darkness chain her?

[Congratulations, Terran survivor #99598, for activating the Universe Assistance System!] Althea, along with the remaining 1% of the population of their home planet, stared at the holographic screen in front of them in confusion. Their galaxy was apparently ending, and suddenly announcements from an alien system appeared in their heads, telling them they would be permanently transferred to another world. The survivors were all very depressed. First, they were forced to survive in a zombie apocalypse, and now they had to survive a new world altogether? It just so happened that Althea was one of the few people who got the Lord Token, the ticket to controlling a territory---a supposed safe haven for her people. Althea looked at her very large stomach and sighed at an unknown future. Would she be able to build a good home for her children? And... would she and her husband find each other again? #Apocalypse, #Josei, #Romance, #BeautifulFL, #HandsomeML, #PowerCouple, #Infrastructure, #MagicSpace, #KingdomBuilding, #Adventure, #Pregnancy, #Game Elements, #System #LitRPG ____ Now an E-BOOK~!

(Warning: This novel has an r18 tag and contains mature content.) Adyr, once a notorious serial killer, met a brutal end and welcomed death as the final judgment for his sins. But he awoke in a parallel Earth, where the rich alter their genes and superhumans are the norm. Believing some unknown force had given him a second chance, Adyr buried the monster within and chose a quiet, normal life. For eighteen years, he lived in poverty with his family, suppressing his urges and forcing himself to be human. Until the day he entered a new VRMMORPG. A game that doesn’t just alter virtual stats but mutates real genes and pushes players toward evolution. While every player chose from four known Paths, Adyr was given a fifth. One that no one had seen before. And with each evolution, the bloodlust he had buried returned, turning him back into the villain he once was. The kind that made even gods afraid to speak his name. *** Follow me on Instagram for character illustrations.

Damian, a middle-aged man with little to his name, stumbled upon a strange gacha harem game given to him by a homeless man on his way home. He began playing and discovered he was the only person on Earth with access to this game. This unique opportunity led him to stream his gameplay, quickly rising to fame in the industry. But his journey took an unexpected turn. [You no longer have access to the game.] [Would you like to continue?] Damien soon found himself reincarnated into the world of the game he once played. In this new reality, monsters had driven humanity to the brink of extinction, forcing people to rely on Avatars—female warriors born from the mana of men. Since only a few men possessed mana, they were considered rare and valuable, especially those with higher classes. Damien, however, outshone every man in this world, thanks to his unique Gacha System. His system not only allowed him to pull for Avatars and other mythical items, but also gave him the ability to share their talents and skills. [Congratulations, you have obtained the S-rank Avatar, Ava Mongrial.] [Ava Mongrel has leveled up.] [Your commander level has increased.] [A new pack has launched.] [A total of 7800 points is needed to pull.] [You can now equip your soldiers with weapons.] [Your base has been upgraded. You can now recruit more members.] Now a commander with his own fortress, join Damien as he explores the full extent of his abilities, strives to save humanity from collapse, and builds the most formidable army of S-rank female warriors.

Zara thought the worst part of her day was fighting with her boyfriend. Then the screaming started. Now locked inside her school with chaos breaking out, love is the last thing on her mind — but it might be the only thing keeping her alive. Zombie apocalypse + Romance in a highschool full of students How are they gonna survive?

If the end of the world had a "Do Not Press This Button" sign, humanity ignored it. Loudly. Let me guess you think a virus that wipes out most of civilization, turns people into rage-fueled monsters with claws, and leaves the rest hiding in ruins while secret organizations fight over the leftovers sounds like a bad time? Congratulations, you’re absolutely right. The Eclipse Strain was supposed to be humanity’s next big leap. Faster healing, smarter brains, stronger bodies the whole superhero starter pack. Instead, it turned most people into Hollowed: screeching, bone-snapping nightmares with a vendetta against everything with a pulse. Nice, right? Elias Mercer should’ve been monster chow. Instead, he leveled up. Immune to the virus, stronger than a Hollowed, and with a mysterious voice in his head (don’t worry, it’s digital... probably), he’s the first successful mutation. Translation: he's got a glowing bullseye on his back. Now Elias is being hunted by: Viratech, the shady megacorp that created the virus, Black Sun, a cult-like faction with way too many guns and secrets, And others like him, not all of whom still remember how to blink without trying to kill you. He’s got a body that keeps mutating, a System that grants him abilities (and conveniently forgets to mention side effects), and a past full of secrets he doesn’t even know he’s part of. The world is falling apart, everyone wants a piece of him, and Elias just wants to stay alive long enough to find out: What the virus really is, Who really started all this, And whether becoming humanity’s last hope means losing what’s left of his humanity. Oh, and did I mention there’s a war coming? Monsters. Mutations. Mystery. And maybe,just maybe something worth saving at the end of it all. Because this isn’t the end of the world. It’s the beginning of something else. And Elias Mercer? He’s the glitch in the apocalypse nobody planned for.
