Pause System Harem In The Apocalypse

Ray Parker had nothing. No money. No options. Just a dying mother a lovely sister and a government experiment that promised to save her. It destroyed everything instead. Now the city is overrun. The dead are walking. And the man who built this nightmare is still alive, still in control, and coming for everything Ray has left. But Ray came back from the dead with something nobody expected. And this time he remembers everything. One man. One city. One chance to burn it all down before it burns him first. The apocalypse made a mistake the day it chose Ray Parker. It should have made sure he stayed dead.

I left everything behind, when my father had wanted me to become the head of the dynasty. Every man would have wanted such power given to him to control the world. But, I wanted something different, something peaceful. Away from all noise, distractions and the place where I called home. I didn't just leave, I left with the woman after my heart. I really loved her and would marry her. None of this wealth, power, control matters to me, the reason I kept my family profile hidden from her. But, what happens when there was a zombie apocalypse and I had returned home, to take her with me to another city, but then…I caught her cheating, not with anyone else, if the case should be, but with my boss? That's the height of it. Even when I tried to confront her, she was not remorseful over her shameful actions, and my boss? He simply doesn't care about me, he threatened to fire me if I dared him. They mocked, ridiculed me and even left me with a zombie to kill me off. But, they don't know who I am!

Starting over once more, he has entered this “cycle of hell” in order to control his own fate. This time, in his second life, he ensured he would not die in vain again. The Archmage reincarnated into a new world where ancient magic is just a mere tale. Gather again his loyal servants! Restores his legendary abilities!! Even become the most respected hero! Mutants, Infected, wars between factions, radioactive areas, and even returning humans to their glory point is an almost impossible dream. Legend of Archmage in apocalypse world has begun.

Twelve months ago, the world fractured. Rifts opened in the sky and spewed monsters into the streets. The old governments collapsed within weeks as the world burned. Soon, certain people awakened to magical abilities. The awakened took control of the ruins. They conquered the rifts and claimed the beast cores to level up their own power. Kai was a lowly porter, hired to carry loot for elite hunters inside deadly rifts. When his team encountered a powerful boss monster, they didn’t fight, they sacrificed him. Betrayed and thrown to his death, Kai was meant to be nothing more than another forgotten casualty of a broken world. But instead of dying, he awakens at the heart of the very rift that killed him. Reborn as its master. Now, the monsters obey his will. The dungeon bends to his command. Every hunter who enters becomes prey and every death fuels his growing power. The same elites who once looked down on him are returning, greedy for easy rewards. They still think this is just another dungeon. They have no idea what’s waiting for them. Because this time, Kai isn’t the one being hunted. He’s the one setting the traps. And when the doors close, no one is getting out alive

My wife gave our final piece of meat to her secret lover while I stood freezing in a sixty-below-zero blizzard. The man who had cast aside everything to keep them alive was now a joke, a useless son-in-law left to perish in the cold. They were never aware of the truth. I had been the secret heir to the most powerful family in the city. I had thrown it all away for her. Mocked by my in-laws and treated as a servant, I still believed she loved me. Until the Cold Apocalypse occurred. The world froze, monsters came out, and civilization collapsed. My devotion to blindness brought me a miserable, frozen death. But death wasn‘t the end. It was three days before the end of the world when I finally opened my eyes. This time, the obedient husband is gone, replaced by something much worse. The Chimera King System has loaded. When I carried the carapaces of mutated monsters, I absorbed their DNA and the strength that comes with it. This time, I will not plead. I will not give. I will not love blindly. My wife and her lover believe they will be able to use me once more when the ice thaws. They’re wrong. This time... I will make sure they freeze.

I'm Evan Cross, and my upgrade path requires genuine connections with women who actually challenge me. A martial artist who uses me as a training dummy. A genius hacker who won't let anyone in. Each bond unlocks abilities I need to stop being everyone's victim.

Note: There's Harem in this story. Rejected, due to being an human in the land of elves, Kevin was banished and casted into the river the very day he was born. But fate said he would live as he was rescued by the very person who casted him into the river. Every mage when they reach the age sixteen were told to attend the mage academy and Kevin, the abandoned human who had overheard the conversation of some students, got excited to attend this academy. He asked from his guardian if he could attend the academy but unfortunately, he was denied, all because of him being an human and not an Elf. At that moment, he became angry and had locked himself up in his guardian's workshop, that was a room full of all types of magical items. But while in the room, Xin had spotted a golden ring that instantly glowed as soon as it touched his bloody fingers. Surprisingly, he was given a system that granted him the opportunity to be an Elf. But what he discovered was that, he wasn't just an elf but a fairy and also an human. < New Quest > < Find the lost Diamond crystal of the Supreme goddess, that is hidden in the secret cave of the academy > < You have 90 days to find the crystal >

How strong is an animal empath going to get in a broken world with crazy abilities?

Earth has been chosen for the Universal Trial. Overnight, every human awakens with a System and is forced to participate in a deadly game where worlds compete for the right to ascend to the Higher Realm. But something goes terribly wrong.
