Level Up Zombie

"Stop digging up your father's past, Theo! You'll only die a poor courier!" Theo ignored his mother's cries. He'd had enough of being insulted by everyone, considered a stranger by Agatha—his former lover now engaged to her wealthy ex—and crushed by Valen's criminal faction. When his body was broken and he could no longer fight with his brawn, Theo chose to use his brain. Through an Anonymous Scholarship, Theo entered Armagenda University, the most elite campus in Monia. While everyone thought he was just a lucky street kid, Theo used his campus access privileges to track the flow of funds of enemies trying to seize and control Theo's father's company inheritance. Assisted by Allia, a secret ally in the cyber data center, Theo began dissecting the city's legal system to cut through the lifeblood of his rivals' businesses. Theo had thrown away his naivety as a good person. He no longer cared about romantic drama or caste slurs. His focus is only one: to reclaim his father's legacy, overthrow the Head of the Security Authority, and ascend to his own throne as the shadow ruler who silently controls the law and the underworld of Monia.

Armed with a bizarre survival guide by the mysterious 'Coach Udin,' university student Rendy must navigate a reality where singing children's songs and walking like a crab are the only ways to survive.

After twenty-seven years of struggle, Dirga finally reaches the top. The Grammy Awards. The ultimate dream of a singer. Then the plane crashes. Dirga wakes up as a seven-year-old boy, returned to the moment before his family’s destruction. This time, he remembers everything — the betrayal, the poverty, and the tragedy that awaits. Armed with memories of the future and extraordinary musical talent, Dirga is determined to change fate. But a mysterious system blocks his path. [MAIN QUEST DETECTED] Target: Become a Leading Actor or Win a Television Award Failure: Family Annihilation Time Limit: 365 Days Dirga wants the stage. The system demands the screen. Forced into the acting world, Dirga must rise to fame again — not as a singer, but as an actor — or lose everything he loves. No Singing. Become an Actor or Die.

He reached the top and achieved what no one else could. Alone, without a guild or support. The system did not reward him. It reset him. Everything he built vanished in an instant. His level, his gear, even the name that stood at the peak of the leaderboard disappeared as if it had never existed. He was forced back to the beginning, reborn as a new player named Nox, carrying nothing but his memories and a class no one had ever seen before, the Shadow Master. There were no guides to follow, no system assistance, and no clear path forward. He awakened in a place that did not exist on any map, where even basic system functions failed to respond. It was a world that felt disconnected from the rules every other player relied on. Yet something remained from his past. The final boss he defeated did not disappear. It changed. Now reborn as a shadow-bound entity, it stands at his side, no longer an enemy but something far more uncertain. A fragment of his victory that should not exist. With knowledge of everything he once mastered and a power that defies the system itself, Nox begins again from nothing. Every step forward is slower, harsher, and more dangerous, but this time he is no longer bound by the same limits. Far beyond his isolated beginning, the world is already in chaos. The strongest player in history has vanished without a trace, leaving behind questions no one can answer. As Nox moves forward, one realization begins to take shape. This is not a punishment. The system did not erase him out of error. It chose to start him over. And whatever lies behind that decision is far greater than the game he once thought he had conquered.

In the Nine-Fold Abyss-Heaven, destiny is a game rigged by the powerful. Ten years ago, a ruthless transmigrator named Victor claimed the "Sovereign System," ascending to godhood by consuming the luck and souls of everyone in his path. To the cosmos, he is a righteous savior. To those beneath his boot, he is an inescapable nightmare. When Julian transmigrates into the body of a discarded, talentless mining slave, Victor instantly flags him as a cosmic threat. Instead of granting a quick death, Victor inflicts absolute suppression—slashing Julian’s experience gains by 90%, shackling his soul, and publicly subjecting him to suffocating humiliation. To the world, Julian is a broken, unranked insect destined to crawl in the toxic spirit-ash. But Victor’s arrogance blinds him to the true nature of Julian’s interface: The Ashen Balance. Unlike standard systems, Julian cannot level up through easy victories or safe cultivation. His cheat triggers only at death’s door, converting raw agony, suffocating despair, and cold fury into irreversible Defiance Attributes. Forced to cultivate backward by strengthening his mortal flesh against the very laws of heaven, Julian turns his suffering into an unyielding weapon. From the suffocating depths of the slave mines to the grand, mocking colosseums of the higher realms, Julian undergoes a grueling, weak-to-strong ascension. He will bleed for every single attribute point, rally the broken outcasts of the realms, and systematically dismantle the False Hero’s empire. Victor stole the heavens, but Julian will burn them down to pay the debt.

Twenty-four-year-old Ethan Cross is a broke delivery guy stuck in a decaying city, betrayed by his girlfriend, mocked by coworkers, and ignored by society.

The more he wins hearts and dominates industries, the more powerful he becomes physically, mentally, and socially. But soon, he realizes that his rise threatens the interests of shadowy organizations, ruthless billionaires, and supernatural enemies who see him as a dangerous anomaly.

"Ethan, let’s be realistic. Your monthly salary can’t even buy a single square meter of the tile in this restaurant." Falsely framed for corporate espionage, dumped by his gold-digging girlfriend, and facing immediate eviction by his corrupt landlord, Ethan Wright was backed into a corner with exactly fifty dollars left to his name. But they didn't know one thing: Ethan was a reborn Wall Street risk-management prodigy. And they certainly didn't know he had just unlocked the Absolute Cashback Multiplier System. [Ding! Transaction Successful! Spent: $3,200. Level 1 Multiplier Applied: 100x! $320,000.00 has been successfully wired to your account!] Every single dollar he spends on external transactions triggers a massive, legally laundered rebate. Spend a thousand? Get a hundred thousand back. Spend a million? Become a billionaire overnight. Using his past-life financial genius and his omnipotent golden finger, Ethan begins a brutal, fast-paced ascension. He buys out his landlord's entire real estate agency, bankrupts his corporate rivals in a single afternoon, and seizes control of multi-billion-dollar global shipping conglomerates. But as his net worth explodes into the tens of billions and his system upgrades to lethal new heights, Ethan triggers a hidden alarm in the global ledger. The shadow banking elites of the Iron Vanguard want him enslaved, and a terrifying, reality-warping entity known as 'The Central Archive' has just classified him as a timeline anomaly. Cut off from his system, ambushed in a blacked-out tunnel, and dragged into the shadows, Ethan faces his ultimate test. They think they can strip his wealth. They think they can lock him away. They don't realize that a financial god doesn't need a screen to initiate a hostile takeover. "You gave me a multi-billion-dollar sandbox to play in. Now watch me buy out your entire reality."
