The world did not end in fire. It rotted. Civilization collapsed overnight. Cities fell, demons descended, the dead began walking - not mindlessly, but under a growing, forced will. Vincent, an ordinary man drowning in debt, clung to fragile hope. Then, hell arrived - he became something worse than a victim. A mysterious zombie virus descended, but Vincent did not turn. He awakened as a carrier. He became the first infected - a Progenitor. Every life claimed by the virus strengthens him...and stains his soul. He walks a razor's edge between savior and catastrophe. Survival is sin and requires everything. Venturing into ruins, facing demons, and making impossible choices - there is no good choice. No gain. No winning or losing. No choosing the good. Only choosing the lesser evil. Meanwhile, trust fractures. Humanity's last forces are not as united as they appear. Ghosts of the past hunt them. False grief hides calculated malice. While they battle demons, something far more terrifying has already infiltrated among them. Factions rise, hidden powers awaken. One question looms over the ruins of the world. Can a man who commands the dead still save the living - or will he become the very end he fears? Hopes are fading. The role of humanity seems insignificant. And the end? Certain. In the shadows, unknown forces are at bay. Bound by the universal rules at the moment, restrained. But time is ticking. The day draws near. What fate awaits humanity and the world once the chains break and the mysterious forces can act freely?

Ronx gets taken out of his normal life and is forced to join the dangerous organization called "Undead Crow", Which is an organization that eliminates criminals with powerful abilities. The story is taken place in the Victorian era but still has modern stuff like guns or coffee shops.

Artemis 'Arty' Calder dies the day the world ends. The fence fails. The door breaks. The dead pour in. Then he wakes up… before it all begins. At first, it feels like déjà vu. Strange news about a “dark matter anomaly.” Animals acting wrong. People just… off. Then the first infected attacks. This time, Arty survives. And inside the corpse, he finds something impossible. A crystal. He takes it. Then another. Then more. Each one makes him stronger. Faster. Sharper. Different. The world isn’t just collapsing. It’s evolving. The infected grow more dangerous by the hour. The rules are changing. And Arty is starting to realise - He’s not just surviving anymore. He’s progressing. But every advantage comes with a cost. Because something is tracking what he takes. Something is measuring his choices. And whatever brought him back… Is keeping score. If he wants to live— He’ll need to grow stronger. If he wants to win— He’ll need to learn the system. And if he dies again— He might not come back the same.

Those who dare challenge the throne of the gods. In a world where the gods and the holy race arbitrarily oppress other beings, a low-class demon named Leon Astaroth dies as bait on the battlefield. But death is not the end. On the brink of destruction, his ancestor, Satan, who led the resistance against the gods millions of years ago, awakens within him. Leon survives. But salvation is only the beginning of trouble. One of the holy races, the angelic race, kidnaps Sylvaine, the princess of the kingdom of Belphegor, whom he loves. His kingdom is destroyed. His kin are scattered. And within him, Satan continues to whisper, offering power at a price he doesn't yet understand. Joining Varavium, an underground organization founded to resurrect Satan, Leon must collect ancient artifacts and face an enemy he never imagined. But the further he goes, the more he realizes that challenging the Heavenly Throne isn't just about strength. It's about sacrifice. It's about the price he must pay. And that price... may be too high.

Coming around, Hu Ma finds himself pierced by iron hooks through his scapulae. For several days, he has been forced to eat some disgusting red meat everyday by an old woman and a little girl who have been keeping him in the house. He has tried to flee but failed due to a sea of evil spirits outside. "Granny chants the calming spell for Brother Huma every day, feeds him soup and medicine, and even gave him meat from Master Tai Sui to eat. Now Brother Huma finally doesn't run around anymore, but Brother Huma doesn't recognize Granny or Little Hongtang," says the little girl. ... One night, in his dream, Hu Ma hears a faint voice coming from the smoke of a burning incense stick.

Lu Zheng possessed a jade seal which allowed him to transmigrate to an alternate world freely. Initially, he thought that the alternate world which he frequented was but an ordinary ancient civilization. With no particular ambition in mind, he planned to become a merchant and enjoyed the casual life of a rich man. He would find a few pretty maidens to accompany him while he explored the place and enjoyed various delicacies. That would be his ordinary and mundane life. His boring life lasted until the day he gave a beggar who showed up at his doorstep a meal. His jade seal obtained a strand of luck because of his action. Since then, he encountered a fox demon visiting him during the day and a beautiful ghost looking for him at night. The members of the Quanzhen Sect paid him tribute while some Buddhist monks stood in his path. So, it turned out that this world was not ordinary.

People know that ghosts are terrifying, but ghosts understand the malice in human hearts. This is a traditional supernatural novel.

The Ghost buried an eye in the Buddha's temple, and from then on, the world's fire was extinguished, and darkness engulfed the continent. To combat the Ghost' invasion, the gods of day and night were born between heaven and earth. This is a narrative passed down for generations by storytellers. What was the true nature of the ancient Buddha, the Ghost, and the wandering gods of day and night on the once great continent? Perhaps, traces can be found in a troupe named 'Zhou Family Troupe.' The Zhou Family Troupe, is a troupe that performs operas specifically for the dead...

In the Kunlun Snow Palace, a sage once said, those who pass away wander, while the living cannot let go. Once the soul departs, it will wither like the autumn grass. Those who are reborn from the dead, existing apart from the mortal realm, shall be shunned by all celestial sects and smitten as undead demons. On this day, a youth awakens from within a coffin, his blood dry and his bones chilled, to find himself a century old upon opening his eyes. A single tear from a sage awaited, a constant companion, may unravel the dreams of the past. Seeking not immortality but a mundane death, not to lament with the ages over lost love and resentment, but only wishing to grow old with tenderness in this lifetime, beneath the white clouds that hold no envy for the heavenly realms.

Everyday was the same for Skullius. An Undead minion of the lowest order like him, didn’t have to find a grand purpose… other than mining mana gems for his Lich master, of course. His peers thought so. They lacked ambition. To be fair, so did he. But there was just that something that kept nagging at him. A spark that no other skeleton seemed to have. Other than being the sassy bullshitter obsessed with mana that he was, why did Skullius vaguely remember being something other than a Moronic Undead drone once? What had come before his Undeath? In the end, it was this spark that allowed our atrocious hero to escape the clutches of his evil master and reach another world. And it is in this world, chock full of dangers – most beckoned by Skullius’ abnormally horrendous luck, to be honest – that the skeleton’s journey begins. In Aigas – the new world – he prepared for the greatest getback of an age armed with a power greater than that of the Liches of Deadmanland! ...... [Author’s Answers To Popular Readers’ Questions] Q: (IHateArjuun77) -Hey author, is your book trash?- A: (Author) -Haha, screw you dear reader. The answer is NO. The story has elements of comedy, action, magic, adventure and Brutality. Like it gets really dark sometimes. There’s a comprehensive story with characters that I tried my damndest to NOT make generic on top of a cool power system that’s for the most part easy to understand. So its not trash. Q: (IFreakingHateArjuun56) -Hey author why is your first volume so slow paced and... trash?- A: (Author) -Haha. It’s how I designed the First Volume to be. It’s a fun setup that doesn’t focus on many things other than the MC’s mentality, powers and route of progression. The next volumes are normal paced, focusing on the world, the villains and general expansion but all while still retaining the book theme and fun experience- Q: (ShadeIsAPervert001) -Hey author, I instinctively sense that I’ll hate this book, when should I drop? A: (Author) -Is this the same reader?! Anyway, I’ll give a range. Read a minimum of the first 20 chapters to a max of up to chapter 44 before you decide on anything too rash. I’ll hunt down this reader! --- Book cover art by Vicky.rae. Discord: [ https://discord.gg/8hcraTjzE9 ] Patreon: For custom art patreon.com/Livelysockets

Marcus Cole Harrison, a corporate analyst from our world, wakes up in the body of an Umbrella Security Division soldier just as the world is about to burn. He has inherited more than just a military rank; he possesses a perfectly integrated T-Virus that has bonded with his transmigrated soul. Unlike the shambling monsters or the mutated BOWs, Marcus is a "human-viral symbiosis"—retaining his mind while evolving his biology. Recognizing the impending global extinction, Marcus deserts Umbrella to become the ultimate variable. Joining forces with iconic survivors like Alice and Jill Valentine, he uses his powers to turn Umbrella’s creations against them. He isn't just fighting for survival; he is a living weapon designed to dismantle the corporation that started the apocalypse. In a world of zombies and tyrants, Marcus is the only thing Umbrella truly fears: their own perfection turned against them. The Virus: Integrated Powers Telekinesis: An active ability that allows Marcus to manipulate objects with his mind. It ranges from subtle distractions to crushing force, though it requires intense concentration and drains "Viral Stamina." Superhuman Physique: A passive enhancement of speed, strength, and durability. Marcus’s body operates at peak efficiency, allowing him to contend with BOWs like Hunters and Lickers in close-quarters combat. Zombie Command: Marcus can broadcast a viral frequency to influence or command basic T-Virus infected. This allows him to turn a ravenous horde into a tactical shield or a localized army. Antivirus Blood: Marcus’s biology acts as a living laboratory. His blood can be processed into a highly effective antivirus, making him the most valuable asset in the fight to save humanity—and the most hunted man on the planet.

Calista seems to have drawn the worst possible script… a doomed background character. But that’s fine. The situation is still salvageable. The first thing she does after waking up? Cling to the Reapers and secure their protection. While Rick’s group is still struggling with questions of morality and humanity, Calista is already rebuilding order through sheer force. The Governor dares to provoke her? Bombard him. The Whisperers? Erase them. The Commonwealth and CRM? Move aside. Rick stares at his shabby camp in confusion. “Why is everyone running to her side?” Negan flicks the blood off Lucille as the gates of Rock Fortress slowly open behind him. “Damn… because following her means you actually thrive.” Starting with the Reapers as her foundation, Calista rises from a winery stronghold to become a ruler of the apocalypse. From the United States… all the way to Europe. The original plot? Just a reference. From today onward, my territory will define the order of the new world. 【The protagonist is not a saint. She won’t follow or assist Rick’s group blindly. Their paths will cross, but she will build her own empire.】 (No system. Just the realistic rise of an ordinary person in the apocalypse.)

(Currently being revised so the story may be incoherent) "Knowledge, There you are! We need to do this quickly before the other gods notice." Valor says as he motions for her to approach. "I'm surprised you agreed to help with this." Gluttony adds with a cruel smile. "I never would have thought the God of Knowledge would be the one to give us aid." Knowledge mearly nods at his words. "Now, this is it! That crazy bat from the far continent has made some crazy monsters before but this one is the cream of the crop. Fully capable of self-evolution and self-replication. It can breed a whole army of different monsters by gathering the essence of other lifeforms!" Valor says as he points to a large egg on the ground. She nods again. "You know, I thought you'd be as excited as I am with this? Endless war and power; we'll have full control of the system once this thing begins its rampage." Knowledge raises her hands in the air and shakes them unenthusiastically. "As sarcastic as ever I see. Well, whatever. Place your hand hand here and help us with the seal." She does as she is told and a huge beam of light descends upon the egg; but her attention is elsewhere. Using the ceremony as a distraction, Knowledge brings lost souls from other worlds and implants them in unsuspecting inhabitants. She can see it. Tiny seeds of change have been sewn.
