BLURB Alex had everything. A father’s name, a company built with his blood, and a home that was supposed to be his forever. Until Victoria came. In 48 hours, his entire world collapsed. His father died. The will left him with nothing. His name was dragged through the news for a fraud he never committed. And the only house left in his name became a trap with cops waiting at the door. He ran hrough empty streets, through the night, through a forest where no one could hear him scream. But running didn’t save him. A group of masked men found him first. When he woke up, he wasn’t dead. He was in a strange room with white walls, bandages on his arms, and two nurses who couldn’t be more different. One was kind, the other, Karina who turned out to be his first harem, looked at him like he was trouble waiting to happen. He was alive because of a man he’d never met. Mr. Giffs. The owner of this place. A man who rescues people “in need.” But nothing in this place is free. “You’re on the run, right?” Karina asks him on the third day, her red hair falling over her face as she sits on the edge of his bed. “Yes.” “Then Mr. Giffs thinks you’ll be fit for the circuit.” “Circuit?” . “The question is… are you willing to draw blood for blood?” Now Alex has a choice. Stay broken and let Victoria win. Or fight back in a world where the only way to survive is to become the very thing that tried to destroy him. A story of betrayal, survival, and revenge. When they take everything from you… how far will you go to take it back?

The apocalypse didn't come with an instruction manual. Good thing Riccardo downloaded the ultimate cheat code. ​Riccardo Gonzales was just a regular college student stressing over a midterm. But when he wakes up to find the streets of Manila burning, mutated horrors tearing through the sky, and his neighbor trying to eat him, his poli-sci degree is officially useless. Trapped on the fourteenth floor, he has only one goal: cross a city of the undead to save his fifteen-year-old sister. ​Then his phone buzzes with an ad for a zombie survival game. One mistaken click changes his reality forever. ​Bound to the Military Survival System, Riccardo is no longer a defenseless civilian. He can track stats, earn gold from kills, and summon an elite squad of heavily armed, fiercely loyal soldiers directly into his living room. When a lucky spin on the daily Fortune Wheel drops a five-million gold jackpot into his lap, Riccardo stops running and starts buying. ​The undead might have the numbers, but Riccardo has the firepower. And he’s about to turn this apocalypse into a tactical warzone.

Kang Min-joon's life is measured in debt. Forty-two million won inherited from a dead father, growing larger every day despite his endless work. When a strange app appears on his phone, it offers an impossible deal: complete deadly tasks in a nightmare dimension, or watch his younger brother suffer the same fate. But the app comes with a twisted gift that makes every conversation a minefield. His lies reshape reality itself, while speaking truth tears him apart from the inside. In a world where honesty can kill and deception becomes law, Min-joon must learn to weaponize his words, survive creatures that shouldn't exist, and discover why he was chosen before the next task claims his life.

Ethan Cole vanished from the city eight years ago, leaving only the stories of a man who had run the streets from the shadows. Now thirty-two, he lives in a lonely street, keeping his younger brother Noah safe from a world he no longer trusted. But when Noah is kidnapped by thesame people he once trusted his life with, Ethan is dragged back into the underworld he swore he’d left behind. Every betrayal is a test of his lethal precision and to save his brother, Ethan must outwit syndicates, assassins, and old allies who had now turned into enemies.

"You used to say a piece of bread was worth more than my life, didn't you? Well, look at me now. I have everything, yet I would rather feed this to my guard dog than toss it to traitors like you. The world has changed, Cindy. In my world, you are not even worth the dust on my shoes." The apocalypse was not the end of everything. It was the beginning of the reckoning of sins. When the black meteor Khamul crashed into the continent of Eldoria, the world transformed into a living hell overnight. Axel Edward was betrayed by his girlfriend for a single piece of moldy bread and thrown into a horde of zombies to die. However, death instead awakened a miracle: the 100x Rebate System. The rule was simple. Give any resource to a woman chosen by the system, and receive a return up to a thousand times over in god-tier quality! Give away a sip of leftover water? Axel received an entire warehouse of pure mineral water. Give away a rusty kitchen knife? Axel received a steel-shattering laser vibration sword. Offer basic shelter? Axel received an invincible divine fortress. While the rest of the world shivered and starved in the dark, Axel was busy figuring out how to finish his fresh Wagyu beef and taking hot baths inside his grand palace. Alongside the goddesses who had sworn absolute loyalty to him, Axel would ascend to the highest throne. To those who betrayed him: prepare to beg for death. To the ruined world: bow down and worship your new ruler.

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.

The Grey Plague ended the world in a single night, mutating 40% of humanity into vicious creatures driven by bloodthirsty hunger. The 60% survivors evolved into two groups: the Awakened, who adapted to the Plague's deadly miasma, and the Unawakened, who lived one breath away from being infected. Everyone belonged to a category. Everyone except Cole Asher, a former soldier. Cole survived the apocalypse only to discover that the government's identification system couldn't classify him. He wasn’t a Grey mutant. Not an Awakened or Unawakened either. And when rumors began to spread that Cole’s blood could cure the Grey’s infection, the most powerful factions in the new world fixed their sights on him. The government wanted control over him, guilds planned to dissect and harvest him and others believed he was humanity's last hope. Now, hunted across a wasteland crawling with monsters, Cole must uncover the truth behind his immunity before those in power destroy him first.

One hundred days before the world ends, Ronan Steele dies. He is betrayed by the people he gave everything to protect. Instead of dying, he wakes up one hundred days in the past. He gets the Future Archive System. This system lets him take one thing from tomorrow every midnight. He can take memories from tomorrow. He can take power from tomorrow. He can take fortune from tomorrow. He can take destiny from tomorrow. As the world rushes to its end, Ronan uses his stolen future to get ready. He prepares for a disaster that no one thinks is coming. Every tomorrow he takes changes what will happen. It erases the future he knew and wakes up enemies that exist outside of time. Ronan must fight to save people. He has to beat an enemy that already won futures.

​"Two years." ​That was the impossible deadline given to Daniel to buy a luxury estate. It was the condition set by her rich, traditional parents to marry the love of his life, Olivia Eleanor. For a struggling student working night shifts to support his single mother, it was an astronomical sum. It was a polite death sentence to his romance. ​But fate had a different, far more brutal plan. ​Snatched from his world, he is thrust into the Tower of Awakening, a multidimensional death game. Amidst the blood and despair, he discovers a sliver of hope in the Tower Shop. It is a divine system capable of manifesting wealth and miracles back on Earth. To return home and fulfill his promise, he must survive and conquer the floors. ​There is one problem. He was at the bottom of the food chain. ​The Tower pulls participants from across the multiverse. He must compete against powerful mages, master martial artists, and ruthless challengers. Armed with a rusty sword, his one unique asset is a glitching, unmeasurable trait the system cannot comprehend: [Limitless Potential (???)]. ​It does not grant him instant power or magic. Instead, it demands a terrifying price. To grow stronger, Daniel must endure painful physical trauma, pushing his body to the brink of death to force a cellular adaptation. Every stat point is paid for in blood, sweat, and shattered bones. ​Surrounded by veteran killers who started miles ahead of him, he must weaponize his own suffering to bridge the gap. He will carve a path to the top, one step at a time. ​But as the trials grow twisted and his mysterious trait begins to mutate his body, a chilling question remains. ​By the time he earns the right to return to Earth... will he even be human anymore?

"Welcome to CosmoMart. We are technically closed, but for you, we’ll make a painful exception." Elian just wanted a quiet shift, a meager paycheck, and some sleep. But the universe had other plans: dropping a Zombie Apocalypse right when he clocked in four minutes late. Trapped inside a Jakarta convenience store with a micromanaging boss and a wise-cracking parking attendant, Elian accidentally triggers a mysterious System after a freak lightning accident. Now, he is a living generator, and his store is the only lit beacon in a city of darkness. But surviving the end of the world is complicated when your teammates fear a Stock Audit more than the flesh-eating monsters outside. Mr. Hendra (The Manager): "Don't kill the zombie in Aisle 3! You’ll get blood on the premium diapers! Think of the inventory value!" Rico (The Parking Guy): "Boss, do I charge these zombies an hourly rate or a flat fee for parking their carcasses on the asphalt?" *The System: [WARNING: Instant Noodle Stock Critical. Riot Probability: 99%.] This isn't a story about a hero saving the world. This is the story of a night-shift clerk forced into "mandatory overtime" to slaughter monsters, manage logistics, and climb the corporate ladder from Intern Cashier to the CEO of the Apocalypse.
