Zombie

Alex Noir, a burned-out game developer, receives a mysterious VR headset from an anonymous package. When he puts it on, he's pulled into "The Endless Trial"—a brutal survival game where death is permanent and the only way out is to beat all 100 levels. Each level is a different deadly scenario (zombie apocalypse, fantasy dungeon, sci-fi space station, historical battlefield, etc.) Marcus gains real skills and attributes that carry over between levels He can collect "Respawn Tokens" by completing bonus objectives—his only way to cheat death The system gives him quests, stat screens, and skill trees, but it's ruthlessly unfair: make a stupid decision, and face stupid consequences Whatever happens in the game affects the real world. If he dies in a level, he dies in reality. But that's not his only problem, the game starts "bleeding" into reality. Monsters from incomplete levels begin manifesting in his city. The longer he's trapped, the more the game corrupts the real world. His friends and family get pulled in as trapped players. Alex must not only survive and level up, but figure out who created this game and why because there are other players trapped in their own trials, and something is systematically hunting them all.

Mu Qiu jolted awake, the stench of decay filling his nostrils. He wasn't in his old apartment; he was sprawled on cracked asphalt, surrounded by the moans of the undead. He was reborn in the apocalypse. Worse, his body, dormant for two years, had mutated. He was a Corpse King, an apex predator with the power to devour and assimilate. Then, a voice echoed in his mind, clear and precise. [Congratulations, Host! You have successfully bound the Supreme World Sign-In System!] [You have arrived at your first sign-in location: Ravaged City Center. Reward: Holy Lord's Demonic Energy.] Mu Qiu stared at his clawed hands, the flesh pale and cold. A system? In this hellhole? [Next sign-in location: Mutated Zombie Hive. Estimated time: 12 hours.] [Daily Quest: Devour 100 Lesser Undead. Reward: Evolution Points.] [Status: Corpse King - Level 1. Evolution Points: 0. Demonic Energy: Acquired.] [Inventory: Empty.] He could see the information floating in his vision, like a translucent screen. The world was a nightmare, and survival as a human was impossible. But as a Corpse King with a system? That was a different story. [Would you like to absorb the Holy Lord's Demonic Energy?] Mu Qiu's jaw clenched. Yes. [Absorption commencing...]

The sky did not turn dark when the world ended. It turned a terrifying, glowing purple. When the purple rain fell, everyday people turned into flesh-eating monsters, and giant mutated beasts claimed the streets. Kai was just a poor, hard-working scholarship student trying to survive. He worked three part-time jobs, paid his own tuition, and sacrificed everything to give his girlfriend Sarah a good life. But when the monsters broke down the university library doors, Kai learned how cruel people could really be. His wealthy team leader Brandon and his selfish girlfriend Sarah did not care about his sacrifices. To save their own skins, they jammed the security gate shut and pushed Kai straight into the snapping jaws of a mutated hound. They laughed while he bled, leaving him to be eaten alive so they could escape to a comfortable bunker. They thought Kai was dead. They were wrong. As teeth tore into his shoulder, a cold mechanical system awakened in Kai's mind. With the power to extract stats, abilities, and beast cores from every monster he kills, Kai instantly heals his body and gains terrifying strength. He tames a deadly shadow-wolf cub, builds an army of purple-eyed zombie soldiers, and evolves his simple iron pipe into a deadly blood-bone spear. Now, Kai is no longer the soft, poor boy they stepped on. The old rules of money and rich fathers are completely dead. In this blood-soaked apocalypse, strength is the only law. Kai begins a brutal hunt through the campus, leveling up with every kill, ready to tear down Brandon's little kingdom and make everyone who betrayed him fall to their knees.

He gave her everything. She repaid him with betrayal. Xavier Lancaster spent years building Horizon Technologies into a business empire and devoted his entire heart to the woman he loved, believing his loyalty would earn him a lifetime by her side. Instead, she chose another man over her own husband. When the zombie apocalypse destroyed civilization, Xavier fought until his last breath to protect her. His reward was a bullet through the heart, fired by the woman he would have died for. "George is the one I want to save..." But fate gave him one more chance. Xavier awakens three months before the apocalypse with every memory of humanity's downfall intact. This time, he refuses to repeat the same mistakes. He demands a divorce from the wife who never deserved him, sells his shares before disaster strikes, amasses unimaginable wealth, and secretly prepares for the end of the world while everyone else remains obsessed with power, money, and love. Then the apocalypse begins. Cities fall. Civilization collapses. The dead rise. The people who once mocked, betrayed, and abandoned him come crawling back. "Xavier... I was wrong. Please... give me one more chance." "Brother Xavier... spare me! I'll do anything! Please don't leave me outside!" The loyal assistant he failed to protect in his previous life refuses to leave his side, while the women who once overlooked him begin fighting for the heart of the man who no longer believes in love. Now Xavier lives by one unbreakable rule: "Those who betrayed me can face the apocalypse on their own." In this lifetime, he will save only those worth saving. Will Xavier change humanity's fate or simply watch those who betrayed him perish one by one? When the apocalypse begins, who will survive... and who will beg at Xavier Lancaster's gates?
