In the first apocalypse timeline, he trusted the wrong people, gave away what little he had, and was betrayed when food became more valuable than human life. Death came quietly—without heroism, without meaning. Then time rewound. Kyle wakes minutes before the world collapses, reborn with all his memories intact—and a system no one else possesses: the Infinite Supplies System. Food. Water. Weapons. A private Paradise Space untouched by ruin. But abundance comes with a rule carved in cold logic: nothing is free. Supplies can only be unlocked through Emotional Function Points. As cities fall and boys’ survivor zones are wiped out, a sealed girls’ campus becomes an island of desperation. Kyle alone can move freely through the apocalypse. He doesn’t force obedience. He waits. Hunger does the work. Cleaning earns meals. Labor earns water. Emotion—fear, shame, gratitude, desire—determines how much. Six girls stand at the center of this fragile balance: a campus beauty hiding terror behind smiles, an ice-cold strategist who refuses to beg, a fallen heiress desperate to reclaim control, an arrogant provocateur who thrives on chaos, a kind healer who sacrifices herself too easily, and a hardened survivor who refuses to be owned. Between them, alliances form and fracture. Submission becomes strategy. Strategy becomes betrayal. Kyle’s relationships with them are never simple. He is their provider, their ruler, their shield—and, increasingly, their moral problem. As the system rewards cruelty more efficiently than kindness, Kyle begins to realize a terrifying truth: the system doesn’t care about survival. It cares about consumption. When outside survivor factions finally make contact and the system escalates beyond Kyle’s control, he is forced to choose—declare himself sovereign over a starving world, or challenge the very system that keeps everyone alive. And the system is already watching how he decides.

This system forbade him from seeking revenge, but it slowly made him unstoppable. The cowardly Elric was forged into an extraordinary figure who was challenging to defeat.

The Formidable System: Alex Cole secret heir. SYNOPSIS Ethan Cole, once a nobody ridiculed by his fiancée Lily, discovers through a mysterious System that he is in fact the secret heir of Alexander Cole, CEO of the global tech empire Cole Consortium. Humiliated publicly at a banquet and abandoned by those he thought loved him, Ethan becomes determined to rise above his broken past. The System begins training him in discipline, self-worth, and confidence, first through physical conditioning with Grayson, an old-school boxing coach, and later in the penthouse gym under Jonathan’s guidance. This training doesn’t turn Ethan into a soldier but prepares him mentally and physically to stand tall as the man destined to inherit an empire. Meanwhile, shadows move in the background. Ethan is stalked by men loyal to Wilson Flake, CEO of rival tech giant Orbitway and longtime enemy of Alexander Cole. Unknown to Ethan at first, Wilson is also Daniel’s father — Daniel being Lily’s new fiancé. Wilson, who has long tried and failed to take over Cole Consortium, sees Ethan’s sudden rise as a new threat. As Ethan grows in confidence, he begins making waves in the industry. Deals once meant for Orbitway are redirected to Cole Consortium, with whispers that Ethan’s involvement is the reason. Wilson, furious, summons Daniel and begins plotting ways to assess Ethan’s intelligence personally. During a lavish dinner party organized by Daniel under Wilson’s orders, Ethan attends — warned by Jonathan to be careful. There, he runs into Lisa Roman, his ex-girlfriend from school who is now a successful fashion CEO. Old flames reignite, much to Lily’s shock. Lily mocks Ethan at first, only to be devastated when she discovers he is Alexander Cole’s heir.

“In a world ruled by monsters, the weak don’t die, they’re forgotten.” I was invisible unless they needed someone to humiliate. They broke my bones. The tyrants of Aegis killed my only friend. But that day, when my blood touched the floor, something inside me awakened. A voice. A system. A power that whispered: “Adapt. Survive. Ascend.” Now I’m not the prey anymore. I’m the beginning of something they can’t control. The government thinks they own the monsters. The hunters think they own the city. Worse, the bullies at Aegis Academy think they have all the power. Big fishes in little ponds.  They are wrong. I will rise to the top, I'll overturn the hierarchy, failures will become alphas. I’ll bring anarchy upon them because I can. Because the real monster… is learning to hunt back. Watch them learn what Apex truly means.

Adira was denied in most of the schools because of her long list record of reasons to be kicked out. Because of that, she stopped going to school and started to build the game station of her brother who disappeared years ago.

She studied everything that her brother wrote in his journal and succeeded in building it again. Just when she started playing, her eyes opened at the amazing virtual world. There she met a few friends of her brother and found out that they were stuck at the game for many years. And unfortunately, it was not a fun game to play. It was not just a virtual reality game. It was a game to kill or be killed.
