Tags: #PostApocalyptic #BaseBuilding #HaremKing #OPSystem #ZombieApocalypse #Survival #PowerFantasy #Romance The world ended the day the dead stopped staying dead. Cities fell in hours. Governments collapsed in days. Mutated horrors tore through what the zombies left behind, and humanity, for all its weapons and walls, had no answer. He was just a man trying to stay alive in the wreckage. No weapons. No allies. No hope. Cornered, exhausted, one breath away from becoming another corpse in a world full of them. Then — [Ding! You have Awakened the Survival Architect System!] [Ding! Skill Awarded: Territorial Mark — Designate any location as your base. Build anything. Defend everything.] [Ding! Skill Awarded: Multishop — Your personal store never runs out. Buy what the apocalypse took from everyone else.] Suddenly, surviving wasn't the ceiling anymore. Building was. One base. One shop. And every beautiful woman he pulled from the jaws of the apocalypse? They weren't leaving.

Look, I’m Riven Kael. Twenty-eight, data analyst, zero ambition beyond paying rent and avoiding small talk. My life was spreadsheets, instant ramen, and the occasional ghost I pretended not to see. Then one mandatory company gala, because of course it was mandatory, turned into the universe’s worst prank. I touched a cursed amulet. I just touched it. Next thing I know, I’m waking up in a penthouse that costs more than my entire bloodline, sporting a glowing marriage sigil on my wrist, legally and magically hitched to Azryth Valek. Yes, that Azryth Valek. The CEO of half the planet, a walking sin in a three-piece suit, an ancient demon lord who was literally sealed inside said amulet until I accidentally set him free. He says we’re bound. Separation means both of us die slowly and painfully. Soul-consumption optional but very much on the table if I’m stupid enough to fall for him. Which, newsflash, I am not. I’m not. Shut up. So now I’m living with an unfortunately hot CEO from hell, dodging assassination attempts disguised as corporate mergers, banishing spirits that show up at my desk like unpaid interns, and pretending we’re a power couple for the cameras while he smirks like he knows exactly how much I want to strangle him. Or kiss him. Or both. Brain, we are not doing this. I didn’t sign up for boardroom battles, multiversal rifts, or the terrifying realization that the arrogant demon who ruined my life might be the only one who truly sees me. But here I am. Still complaining, still fighting, still falling, against every shred of common sense, hopelessly, stupidly, irrevocably in love. Because when the universe marries you to the devil, it doesn’t ask for consent. It just hands you the ring. And damn it, I’m keeping it.

"Even When My Coach Told Me to Quit, I Never Gave Up. My Unique 'Depth Charge' Pitching Technique" Six years of pain. Six years of failure. Six years to master a pitch that shouldn't exist. They said it was impossible. They said I'd destroy my arm. They said I should quit. But I didn't. This is the story of Nozomi Ritsuko , the girl who invented the Depth Charge, a pitch that combines submarine and forkball mechanics to create 37 inches of vertical drop. A pitch that starts like a rising fastball, then plummets like a stone. A pitch that took my wrist, my shoulder, my high school career, and nearly my dream of playing baseball. But in the top of the 9th inning of the State Championship, with a one-run lead and three outs to go, I proved them all wrong. This is my story. Thank you for always reading.

Beyond it lies the Hunting Realm—a place where monsters are born from fallen Hunters, and something is beginning to push through. Hunted by a creature he cannot understand, Ryo is dragged to a sanctuary between worlds and forced into a choice that was never really his: take up a Kizugami, a living blade forged from wounds, or die before dawn. But the blade doesn’t obey. It judges. As the weapon begins to search his soul, Ryo is pulled into a war he never asked to join—one shadowed by an impossible Eye in the sky, a relentless Kaimon on his trail, and an ending that may already have been decided. Ryo never wanted to be a Hunter. But if becoming one is the only way to protect what remains, he’ll have to answer a far more dangerous question: When the world strips everything from him, can he still stand as himself once more?

Every 1,000 years, 2,000 individuals from different worlds, dimensions, realms, and universes are selected at random to participate in the Summoners' War, to gain the ultimate title of "The Grand Summoner" and one wish. While others summoned titans, divine beasts, dragons, and heavenly knights, I summoned the gods themselves. I was dragged from my normal, quiet life against my own will and forced to participate in an ancient war filled with conspiracies, betrayals, bloodshed, and undiscovered mysteries. Dragons soared through the sky, titans marched on the ground, divine beasts ravaged the forests, and leviathans split the seas. I was just on my bed a minute ago, playing my favorite game, Zenless Zone Zero, and now I am caught up in a literal war. I just got here and am already under attack by a legion of undead skeleton knights . it's killed or be killed and I plan to survive. ' summoning ritual ' Blue flames burst forth ,I take a step back shielding my eyes , some kind of magic circle forming beneath my feet. The flames spiral twisting into the form of a humanoid figure. It's a nine-tailed fox. A man with fox ears and nine tails.

Lazar wasn’t dealt a winning hand at birth, so he quickly learned to see luck for what it was : something to believe in, but never rely on. Even so, there was one debt he believed fate owed him : the chance to kill the man he refused to acknowledge as his father. It became his only purpose, an obsession for which he would gladly sacrifice whatever fragments of himself that man had not already destroyed. But instead of granting him that one modest request, the world seemed determined to stand in his way, and not in a subtle manner. Just as he began to close in on his goal, the Apocalypse, yes, the damn Apocalypse, fell upon the Earth. What impeccable timing ! Lazar had always known his path wouldn’t be an easy one, but now the obstacles between him and his target had not only multiplied but also taken on far more dangerous forms. Catastrophes beyond nature. Creatures that had once belonged to myth, religion, or even fiction, now roaming the Earth. And, as always when circumstances were already dire, the ability humans had to make things even worse. The future couldn’t have looked more promising. Fortunately, if anything about the situation could be called fortunate, the Apocalypse had brought more than monsters and destruction. It had also brought the power to fight back. *** What you can expect from this story : - No harem. - An original and complete system that doesn't become overly complex or bloated with hundreds of skills. - A pragmatic MC with a morally grey compass, who grows very strong without becoming boringly overpowered. - Characters that feel realistic, while still having a few eccentric traits, otherwise it would be dull.

[ You have prepared a Mythical-class Ember-fang meal. All party members receive +40% Fire Resistance and +25% Attack! ] Ezra was a NEET for four years before he finally got off his ass and booked a flight to do something with his life. That dream died when the plane crashed. Before he knew it, he was reborn into a strange new land. Stranger yet, he was a... frontier chef? In a world full of monsters the size of buildings?! Fortunately, his cooking skills were a lot more useful than they sounded. His knife skills could carve through monster hide, while his newfound fire magic burned stronger as he leveled up. Not to mention, the meals he cooked gave out insane buffs and passives! Maybe this class wasn't as bad as he thought. With a class like this, he was sure he could make it to the very top of the food chain! But of course the food chain had teeth of its own. Turns out, factions wanted his cooking for their wars, monster lords saw him as property, and more than a few dangerous women wanted him for reasons that had nothing to do with his food. The deeper he pushed into the frontier, the more he realized this world's ecosystem was bigger, older, and hungrier than anything he was ready for. Worse yet, what kind of chef is expected to go on Mythical-class monster hunts!?

The weakest girl in the apocalypse accidentally became the obsession of multiple apex predators. Unfortunately for them, predators don’t share easily. Felicity was supposed to die on the first day of the apocalypse. Zombies devour the weak. Beastmen rule the ruins of human cities. Strength decides everything now. Felicity has none. Small, soft spoken, and completely unsuited for a world like this, she survives only because Victor finds her first. Victor is a winged apex predator feared by every beastman who crosses his path. He does not protect strangers. But once he chooses something… he does not let it go. Unfortunately for him, other predators have started noticing her too. A wolf who watches too quietly. A snake whose patience feels dangerous. A lion who refuses to leave her side. Predators who should never share anything. Except her. Because something about Felicity is changing them. And in a beast ruled apocalypse, predators were never meant to share. Unfortunately for them, Felicity might be worth learning how.
