They called me the Scourge of the Seven Realms. The Black Emperor. The man who'd conquered half the world before his thirtieth birthday. None of those titles mattered now, as I lay dying on the blood-soaked marble of my throne room. "Any last words, Damien?" High Priestess Celeste stood over me, her blade — my own sword, stolen during the battle — still dripping with my blood. Behind her, the leaders of the rebellion watched with hungry eyes, eager to see the tyrant fall. I wanted to laugh. After everything I'd done, all the kingdoms I'd conquered, all the battles I'd won, I was being killed by the woman I'd once loved. The woman I'd trusted above all others. "You won't win," I managed, blood bubbling from my lips. "The demons... they'll come regardless. You've doomed everyone." "Better the demons than you," she spat. The irony was bitter. I'd conquered the world to unite it, to prepare for the demonic invasion my visions had shown me. But fear and propaganda had turned me into a monster in their eyes. They couldn't see that everything I'd done was to save them. "So be it," I whispered. "May you live long enough to see your mistake." Celeste raised the blade for the final strike. "Goodbye, Damien." The sword fell. Darkness swallowed me. And then...

Cody Wolfe survived the apocalypse, but must struggle hard to stay alive. He spends his days running from zombies and scavenging for food. Then, in a life-or-death situation, his destiny took an unexpected turn. He got a system to control those walking corpses. With each level up, he gained a new skill, ranging from enhancing the zombies’ speed to granting them earth-shattering abilities. Would he use that power only for survival? Or could he utilize it for more?

When the world had finished breaking him, fate rebuilt him in gold. Humiliated, discarded, and left to rot, Ethan Cole inherits the wealth and power of the most secretive financial empire in the world, a consortium whose influence touches governments, crime syndicates, and multinational corporations. But power comes with enemies. For every door his fortune opens, another shadow steps through to close it, permanently. Old betrayals demand justice, but new alliances demand blood. In a city where loyalty is currency and every smile hides a blade, Ethan must learn one truth: money can buy anything… except mercy.

Dying is just data. Revenge is a 10-second delay. In a world ruled by powerful Hunter Guilds and the strict laws of the Hunter Association, Jaxen Vane was nothing more than an E-Rank laborer—disposable bait for corporate meat-grinders. Born with zero combat skills and a comatose sister to support, his only goal was survival. Until the day a routine dungeon raid turned into a deadly corporate cover-up. Trapped by mutated monsters and betrayed by his own vanguard, Jaxen accidentally triggers a late awakening. But his system isn't like the standard blue interfaces everyone else possesses. His is an anomaly—a glitched golden system that loads exactly ten seconds late. Whenever Jaxen suffers a fatal blow, his unique skill, Hindsight Bias, snaps his consciousness back exactly ten seconds into the past. He cannot outrun an A-Rank hunter, and he cannot overpower a C-Rank beast on raw stats alone. But with an endless loop of ten-second do-overs, he can memorize every strike, predict every trap, and turn his own brutal deaths into a flawless strategy board. Forced to hide his world-breaking ability from corrupt guilds, ruthless executives, and a high-ranking investigator who blackmails him into a shadow contract, Jaxen takes up a silver invitation to the National Hunter Academy. Hidden right under everyone's noses, the ultimate underdog begins to silently hoard stat points, master his broken system, and climb the ranks. They think he's just an unpolished gem with a Read button.

Reyan Sen died on the last day of school. Bullied for being powerless in a world that values strength, his life ended quietly—without meaning, without justice. But he woke up again. This time, as something no longer human. A strange system bound itself to him, turning him into an Undead being that must consume souls to survive. The world Reyan returns to is one shaped by an alien war. Humanity learned to use supernatural abilities to fight back, building military academies and power rankings where the strong are trained and the weak are discarded. Reyan has no place in that system. If the truth about him is discovered, he won’t be recruited or studied—he’ll be executed. As another war approaches and forgotten myths begin to surface, Reyan is forced to choose between holding onto his humanity or embracing the thing he’s becoming. To some, he may become a protector. To others, a monster. And to the forces that erased his kind from history… He is a mistake that should never have returned.

But when a desperate escape leads him to an ancient, rusted bottle, he unknowingly releases Zat—a powerful, arrogant war djinn trapped for five centuries. Suddenly, Arga is thrust into a world of hidden magic where shadowy organizations and high-tech hunters are more dangerous than any debt collector. To save his mother, Arga must survive a contract where the price of power is his very soul, guided by a sarcastic spirit who finds humanity's struggles amusingly pathetic.

Adrian Vale was bullied and alone in his first life, invisible to everyone. In a cruel twist of fate he is suddenly killed in a accident, but fate has decided to give him a second chance. Will he be able to live the life he wants with the help of the system?
