System Apocalypse: Reader's Privilege

_EchoMyst_
Ethan Chen was supposed to die, twice. First as Park Ji-woo, a 28-year-old office worker who fell asleep reading a web novel and never woke up. Then as Ethan Chen, a 17-year-old abuse victim destined to starve to death when his adoptive family abandoned him during the apocalypse. But something went wrong. Or maybe something went right. When Ji-woo's soul crashes into Ethan's body two months before the world ends, he brings with him fragments of knowledge from "Apocalypse Descent", a 2,847-chapter novel about zombies, mutations, and humanity's brutal fight for survival. He knows the apocalypse begins August 15th at 3:47 AM. He knows a System will appear, turning reality into a deadly RPG. He knows the protagonist, Lucas Reed, will rise to become humanity's greatest hero. What he doesn't know is how a nameless side character survives long enough to matter. With 59 days until the world ends, Ethan must escape his abusive home, gather resources with no money, and prepare for horrors he can barely remember from a novel he never finished. When the System finally arrives, it offers him something unexpected: Reader's Privilege, a unique advantage for knowing the story. But knowledge without power is just another way to die. As the dead rise and civilization crumbles, Ethan must evolve from a frightened teenager into a survivor who can build a base, gather allies, and face not just the zombies and mutations, but the darkest parts of the human heart. Betrayal, sacrifice, and impossible choices await in a world where points mean survival and trust is the rarest currency. The apocalypse doesn't care about second chances. But Ethan isn't ready to waste his. ---

Vile Dominion

(There are few chapters which has indentation issues, due to the site glitch. I would recommend the readers to read the novel on Royals Road if you find any difficulty. I have tried fixing them, but some chapters retain those problems) In a world where the heavens themselves weave intricate schemes, Li Gang is reborn into the brutal cultivation realm of the Divine Spirit World. Here, power is absolute, and the strongest warriors and immortals manipulate fate, treating mortals and weaker cultivators as mere pawns in their grand designs. Armed with the memories of his past life and a mind sharper than any blade, Li Gang quickly realizes that raw strength alone is not enough to survive. Every sect, clan, and faction hides venomous plots, and even disciples are mere tools for their masters' ambitions. The path to power is paved with betrayal, deception, and blood. But Li Gang is no ordinary pawn. With unparalleled intellect and an unwavering will, he begins to turn the tide—navigating deadly conspiracies, outwitting ancient masterminds, and twisting their own schemes against them. Whether through manipulation, ruthless strategy, or sheer defiance, he refuses to be controlled. Yet, the deeper he delves into the world's secrets, the more terrifying the truth becomes. The so-called "Immortals" are not as invincible as they claim. They, too, are caught in a game far greater than he ever imagined. The true masterminds lurk in the shadows, pulling the strings of even the highest cultivators. To break free, Li Gang must not only rise to power but shatter the very foundations of this world’s control. Can he outscheme the schemers and become the ultimate ruler, or will he, too, fall victim to the grand design? In a world of lies, only the sharpest mind reigns supreme. (Some grammatical errors at the beginning chapters. It is fixed later on!)
