Axel thought death was the end. But when he opened his eyes, he was transported back to five minutes before Rio kicked him out. A cold voice echoed in his head, "100x Rebate System activated. Do you wish to take revenge now?" What will Axel do when he realizes he has a chance to rewrite his fate?"Am I still alive?"Axel took a deep, ragged breath. His lungs burned as if he were inhaling shards of glass. He tried to open his eyes, but his vision remained blurred. The last thing he remembered was the excruciating pain of the zombies tearing his flesh apart. By now, he should have been nothing more than a pile of bones, or at least one of those hideous monsters.Yet, the pain was slowly fading away.[Ding! 100x Rebate System integration complete.][Host Condition: Severe injuries, 60% blood loss.][Activating Beginner Reward: Instant Body Recovery!]"What was that voice?" Axel muttered.Suddenly, a soothing warmth spread throughout his entire body. The gaping wounds on his neck and stom

The Horizon apartment building shook violently. A loud, booming sound echoed from the direction of the elevator, followed immediately by an ear-piercing roar. The noise was no longer the typical groan of an ordinary zombie. It sounded far more like a broken, grinding industrial machine.Rio was still rolling around on the floor, frantically clutching the severed stump of his arm. His blood had already formed a massive pool on the lounge carpet. Cindy could only weep hysterically while desperately trying to swallow sardines straight from the can, exactly as Axel had ordered."Axel. Mercy. There is a monster down there! We have to run!" Cindy shrieked, choking on the fish.Axel completely ignored her. Instead, he focused entirely on the transparent screen that only he could see.[Warning! Level 2 Mutant Zombie: Crusher, has detected the scent of fresh blood on the 11th floor!][Emergency Mission Activated: Mass Rescue!][Instruction: Rescue 10 women with a minimum potential of Grade B w

The roar of heavy machinery echoed from a distance, completely shattering the silence of the night in the Horizon district. The blinding beams of searchlights from several tactical vehicles swept across streets heavily littered with wrecked cars and zombie corpses. Up on the eleventh-floor balcony, Axel stood perfectly relaxed. He casually held a warm cup of coffee, the direct rebate result from his coffee maker earlier."Master, the enemy has halted their advance at a distance of exactly five hundred meters. I have detected two main battle tanks alongside three armored personnel carriers. There is a total of one hundred and twenty heavily armed soldiers," Anya's voice echoed directly into Axel's ear through his wireless earpiece."Over a hundred men? They are incredibly dedicated just to investigate a little lightning," Axel muttered. He glanced over at Scarlett, who was currently busy tinkering with a highly futuristic tablet right beside him. "Scarlett, what is the status of the fo

The sky above the city of Cyber-Vane, typically pitch-black, suddenly flared a blinding white. Ten streaks of fire descended from the atmosphere, tearing through the clouds with a deafening roar that shattered the windows of distant buildings. Those were ten tactical nuclear missiles launched directly from the Eldoria Capital.Up on the roof of the Horizon Apartments, Axel stood with absolute calm. The fierce wind generated by the missiles' friction battered his face, yet he did not even blink. Beside him, Scarlett continuously monitored her holographic tablet, drenched in cold sweat."Boss, the first nuclear missile will make contact in exactly ten seconds! The Star Crystal shield is already operating at maximum saturation capacity. I have absolutely no idea if this is going to hold or if we are all going to be turned to ashes in a single second," Scarlett's voice trembled violently.Elena, Valerie, Maya, and Seraphina were also gathered on the roof. They all gripped their respective

The Reapers' armada arrived in the Cyber-Vane bay. Their leader, a man possessing a "1,000x Steal" system, laughed raucously at the sight of the completely devastated city. But his laughter stopped abruptly the second he looked up at the clouds. A gigantic city was hovering directly above his head.Axel's Floating City glided smoothly above the cloud layer. From the main balcony, the view of the Cyber-Vane Bay was perfectly clear. Thousands of pitch-black warships lined up neatly across the ocean surface. It was the armada of "The Reapers," an infamously ruthless colonizing faction from the Western Continent."Master, the enemy armada has locked onto our position. Their leader, Kenji, is detected to possess a high-tier system: the 1,000x Steal System," Anya's voice echoed throughout the room.Axel, having just finished his steak, casually wiped his mouth. "A Steal System? So he can steal items belonging to other people?""Correct, Master. He can steal weapons, skills, and even the sys
