I Survived the Apocalypse, Now Let Me Enjoy Life
For ten years, Morgan lived in a world where tomorrow was never guaranteed.
As an ordinary soldier without a single supernatural ability, he survived the apocalypse through nothing but training, blood, and sheer determination. He fought zombies, watched comrades die, and did everything necessary to stay alive.
Until one day, he was sacrificed as bait for a horde of zombies.
He thought that was the end. Instead, he woke up in the body of a college student in a peaceful modern world—a chance to enjoy the life he never had.
Then a mysterious System appeared.
[Welcome to your second life.]
[Complete missions to unlock extraordinary abilities.]
Morgan wasn't interested in becoming a hero. He just wanted to eat good food, attend classes when he felt like it, and live independently.
Unfortunately, his first major mission dragged him straight into the city's dangerous underworld. Morgan wanted nothing to do with it, but System had other plans.
Now, between college life, impossible missions, underground battles, and a mafia princess who keeps pulling him deeper into trouble, Morgan has only one goal: Survive his second life without turning it into another apocalypse.

Chapter: Chapter 015Morgan walked toward the cafeteria with Carew, who still looked dazed after witnessing how easily his friend had defeated Emmet's group.Every now and then, Carew glanced sideways at Morgan, as though he wanted to ask a hundred questions. However, whenever he saw Morgan's relaxed expression, he eventually swallowed all his questions.Besides, this was not the time to think about the fight.It was time for lunch!Actually, Morgan did not need Carew to show him the way or teach him how to order food. He already had the previous owner's memories, including the location of the cafeteria and the students' usual habits there.However, one thing caught his attention: according to those memories, Carew always ate small portions and tried to save money because most of his allowance went toward buying action figures.Morgan could understand someone's desire to spend money on things they liked. However, sacrificing food for display pieces was something he found difficult to accept.Moreover, the

Chapter: Chapter 014Morgan looked at the remaining students, but before any of them could respond, he had already spoken.“You can all come at me together. I don't have much time.”His tone was so casual that it sounded as though he were telling them to line up to buy food rather than challenging them to a fight. Several students watching exchanged glances, unsure whether Morgan was genuinely fearless or had simply grown tired of living.Meanwhile, Morgan had already begun thinking about something far more important.Lunch at the campus cafeteria.Based on the previous owner's memories, the cafeteria menu changed every day. There was rice with various side dishes, warm soup, stir-fried vegetables, and even desserts that sometimes made female students willing to wait in long lines.The more Morgan thought about it, the more impatient he became.“By the way, what's on the lunch menu today?”The question slipped casually from his mouth.Everyone fell silent.Even Emmet's group momentarily lost their words,

Chapter: Chapter 013Morgan yawned softly, then raised his head to look at the large-built student standing in front of him.“Oh.”That was his entire response.He did not even show the slightest surprise after his desk had been kicked violently. His gaze was calm, his voice flat, and his face still carried the lazy expression of someone who had just been disturbed while enjoying an afternoon nap.However, upon closer inspection, there was no sign that Morgan had actually just woken up. His eyes were clear, his breathing steady, and his body was already prepared to move at any moment.The habits formed during ten years of living in the apocalyptic world were not easy to get rid of. Even while sleeping, part of his consciousness always remained alert to his surroundings, so he had already noticed the footsteps and suspicious movements before the desk was kicked.Unfortunately, the people in front of him had no idea about any of this.To them, Morgan's attitude merely showed that he did not take them seriou

Chapter: Chapter 012Back then, threats like that were not something that could be taken lightly. However, he also knew that people who lived in peace did not always have the courage to face violence, especially when they had never truly experienced it.Carew was not a fighter. He even seemed to struggle with lifting a college bag that was too heavy, so it was no wonder he was frightened after being threatened by a group of bullies.Morgan sighed.“Alright. We’ll deal with tomorrow’s problems tomorrow.”Carew quickly raised his head.“Huh? But, Bro, they—”“It’s late. I’m tired, and I want to sleep.”Morgan stood up, then pointed at the sofa Carew was sitting on.“Are you staying over or not? If you are, sleep on the sofa. If not, close the door behind you when you leave.”After saying that, he walked toward his bedroom while yawning. He had no interest in spending his night thinking about a group of bullies who might not even be strong enough to make him lift a finger.Besides, there was still time to de

Chapter: Chapter 011However, just as that thought crossed his mind, the original owner’s memories resurfaced.This person’s name was Carew. His classmate at college, and also the only friend he was fairly close to.Morgan slowly lowered his hands.He looked at the man who was still crying against his chest, then let out a long sigh. It seemed his new life had given him not only an apartment, college friends, and the chance to enjoy delicious food, but also a friend who appeared to have some serious problems.“Alright,” Morgan said, awkwardly patting Carew’s back. “Now stop crying and explain what happened.”Carew lifted his face. Tears still welled up behind his glasses, and his lips trembled as if he had just heard the cruelest question in the world.“Bro... they’re going to kill me!”Morgan fell silent.The remaining smile on his face slowly disappeared.Morgan looked at Carew, who was still clutching his shirt with a pale face. After letting out a long sigh, he finally opened the apartment door and pu

Chapter: Chapter 010After wandering around for quite a while, he finally stopped at a crowded barbecue stall. The meat grilling over the charcoal sizzled, while the aroma of rendered fat and charred seasoning made his stomach growl again.Morgan immediately sat down in an empty chair.“Sir, I want satay. A lot of it!”The stall owner looked at him for a moment. “How many skewers?”Morgan studied the grill seriously, as if he were making an important decision that would determine the fate of humanity.“Twenty for now.”“Twenty?!”“If I’m still hungry, I’ll order more.”The stall owner fell silent, unsure whether the man in front of him was joking. However, seeing Morgan take out his money without hesitation, he finally nodded and began preparing the order.Not long afterward, a large plate of satay was placed in front of Morgan, along with a bowl of sauce and several side dishes. Morgan’s eyes lit up, and he picked up the first skewer, biting into the meat with great anticipation.Tender. Savory. The seas

Chapter: CHAPTER 008“Police?” the dean repeated in disbelief. “Are you sure?”The vice dean nodded quickly, his expression serious.“Yes, sir. They’re already outside… and want to come in now.”The room was instantly filled with a different kind of tension than before. The dean rose halfway from his chair, his face hardening with anger.“Who called the police?”All eyes immediately turned to one person. Noah. The gazes were filled with accusation, suspicion, and confusion.Rico frowned, then whispered to his friend, “No way… he hasn’t even touched his phone this whole time.”Mr. Hogan also narrowed his eyes, trying to recall. Since Noah entered the room, his hands had indeed been empty. There was no chance for him to contact anyone.Silence hung in the air, but before anyone could say anything, the door opened again.This time, it wasn’t just one person.Two uniformed men stepped in with firm strides. Behind them, a middle-aged man with an authoritative aura followed—the rector.The atmosphere shifted in

Chapter: CHAPTER 007The brief silence did not last long because Todd was the first to speak. He straightened his body from the wall, both hands still in his pockets, his gaze relaxed yet sharp.“Then,” he said lightly, as if merely offering a casual suggestion, “why don’t you be the one to show the evidence that you’re not guilty?”His tone was calm, but it was clearly directed straight at Noah.Instantly, Rico broke into a wide smile as if he had gained strong support, and quickly added, “That’s right. You said the same thing last night, didn’t you? You said you’d present evidence? Fine then, show it now if you’re telling the truth.”He crossed his arms over his chest, his chin slightly raised in challenge.“Don’t just talk.”On the other side, Mr. Hogan let out a long sigh, then looked at the dean with an expression as if he were tired of dealing with Noah.“Look, Dean,” he said in a pressing tone, “this is exactly how he is. He doesn’t respect others, he’s stubborn, and he still behaves like this even

Chapter: CHAPTER 006Noah frowned, then shifted his gaze to the screen. He clicked the notification and examined it.It was an investment opportunity. The description was tempting, but in times like these, scams were everywhere, especially from such unclear notifications.He didn’t trust it and was about to close the page. But before he could act further, the system’s voice sounded again.[Opportunity detected.][Recommendation: take it.]Noah raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, “Why?”There was no long explanation or complex analysis. The system replied:[This is initial assistance provided to a new host. Please take it and it will show good results within a few hours.]Noah stared at the screen for a few seconds. There was a countdown there, he knew that once it reached zero, there would be no second chance.The money he had now was around one hundred thousand dollars.The capital given by the system, currently in his bank card. If it failed, he would have nothing left except a few dollars from before

Chapter: CHAPTER 005The more Noah tried to calm himself, the wilder the anger churned in his chest. Hot and suffocating.His clenched hand slowly lifted, the veins on the back of his hand tightening.“I—”“Oh, oh… can’t do anything, huh?” Rico cut him off, his voice full of mockery. Seeing Noah’s reaction, he seemed to enjoy it even more.He leaned in slightly, lowering his voice so only Noah could hear.“Tsk, really weak and useless. All this time you only lived off your family’s name. Now? Hah… you’re nobody. Just an orphan who happened to be lucky back then.”Those words hit their mark perfectly, making Noah’s expression stiffen and his jaw tighten.“Rico,” he growled softly.His voice wasn’t loud, but the anger within it was unmistakable.At the same time, the system’s voice appeared in his mind, cold and firm.[Host, your emotional fluctuation is unstable.][If it continues to rise, the system will take over control.][Please control yourself.]As if splashed with cold water, Noah’s awareness snappe

Chapter: CHAPTER 004The dorm supervisor, Mr. Hogan, stepped in confidently, his expression filled with anger as he shouted at Noah. But the moment his eyes truly took in the situation inside the room, he paused for a moment.In front of him, Rico and his two friends looked disheveled, their breathing still heavy as if they had just been in a heated fight.Meanwhile, Noah stood to the side, not far, but far enough to be separated from them. He didn’t even look like part of the commotion.The man cleared his throat softly, but his voice was enough to suppress the entire room. He looked at them one by one and said, “What are you all doing, huh? Making noise at night?”Rico and the other two looked surprised. They quickly distanced themselves from each other, as if nothing had just happened. Their eyes met briefly, full of meaning, before shifting toward the dorm supervisor.Rico gave a nearly imperceptible wink.“Mr. Hogan, we weren’t making noise, let alone fighting,” one of them said, his voice sounding h

Chapter: CHAPTER 003Noah closed his eyes for a moment, enduring the pain. His body felt heavy and his breathing was still ragged, but the system’s voice echoed in his head again.[Detecting resting condition…][Initiating basic recovery…]Something soft flowed through his body, easing the pain that had been piercing from head to toe.[Recovery increasing… 2%… 5%… 8%…]Noah did not move. He simply let himself sink into that silence, but then he opened his eyes again.[Recovery process halted…][Status: incomplete]The pain was still there, but no longer as severe as before. At least now, he could stand. He gritted his teeth, then forced his body to rise.He couldn’t stay here for long and had to return to the dorm. Curfew was at ten, and if he was late, he wouldn’t even have a place to sleep tonight.Noah picked up his dirty bag, then staggered out of the small forest. The campus lights had dimmed and the surroundings grew quieter. When the dorm building finally came into view, he quickened his pace.With
