Our protagonist, Shang Jianyao, is crazy—literally crazy, at least that’s what the doctors said. Living in a huge, underground building of Pangu Biology, one of the few remaining factions in this apocalyptic wasteland known as the Ashlands, he acts in unfathomable ways that’s head-scratching, comical, and shrewd. So is he really crazy? Probably.

He has a grand dream: to save all of humanity.

Intricately tied to this dream is something everyone in the Ashlands believes in: Deep in a particular ruin buried away by danger and famine, a path leading to a new world awaits. To step into the new world, one only needs to find a special key and open that certain door.

There, the land is bountiful, as if milk and honey flows freely.

The sunlight is dazzling, as if all coldness and darkness are washed away.

The people will no longer have to face desolation, monsters, infections, mutations, and all kinds of dangers.

There, children are joyous, adults are happy, everything is fine as they are supposed to be.

Every Antiquarian, Ruin Hunter, and Historian roaming the Ashlands knows: That’s the New World.

After losing his job Bai Liu became involved with an unstoppable horror live streaming game full of various monsters and players with killer intent.

Initially, everyone thought Bai Liu was just an ordinary person who strayed into the game.

Later, they realized it was this game that welcomed its god with victory and a laurel crown saying, “Welcome home.”

On that day, the fog blocked everything.

On that day, he became the captain of a ghost ship.

On that day, he stepped through the thick fog and confronted a completely subverted and fragmented world— the old order had vanished, strange phenomena dominated the endless seas beyond civilized society, and isolated island city-states and fleets of ships challenged the sea that had become the last ember of lights for the civilized world. All of this while the shadows of the old days were still stirring in the deep sea, waiting to devour this world that was about to die.

But for the new captain of the ghost ship Vanished, there was only one question he had to consider first — Who knows how to drive this ship?!

Shi Yu, an Archaeologist and Mythologist, crossed into a foreign world where Noble Beasts were the mainstream.

Through continuous evolution, most animals and plants can awaken higher wisdom and powerful abilities. Even mountains, rivers, lakes, wind and snow can also evolve into living organisms.

All these extraordinary creatures have great powers, such as thunder and lightning, flames, hurricanes, and are no different from the mythical beasts depicted on Earth. They were aptly named Noble Beasts.

Beastmaster, one who trains, cultivates, and command noble beasts are closely related to all walks of life. Only when you become a Beastmaster can you become an elite in all fields.

In order to explore ancient relics and ruins to uncover the blank history and mystery of the lost myths without any worries, with his Skill Book, Shi Yu cultivated many astounding pets that shattered the three views of the Noble Beasts!

【Criminal Investigation + Crime + Invincible + All-round + Hard-core Case Solving】

A murderer who can create a perfect case must also be the strongest ace detective.

Su Ming, who had just been admitted to the police academy, unexpectedly gained the ability to simulate crimes in his sleep.

Whenever he simulated a perfect crime and no one found the murderer within the prosecution period, he could obtain various skills used in the crime.

Simulate a perfect crime 100,000 times and gain countless skills.

Su Ming, who should have been the number one criminal, turned around and joined the criminal investigation brigade after graduation.

In his eyes, all cases are as pediatric as a lot of mistakes and loopholes, and a simple detail loophole can directly point to the criminal!

With the successive solving of perfect crimes in the eyes of everyone and long-standing unsolved cases, the whole country exclaimed that Su Ming is a real ace detective.

He can't even hang the first-class merit on his chest, and his police rank has jumped five times in a short period of time.

Being a criminal? Impossible!

It's better to be a criminal policeman to solve cases easily and achieve success and fame! ! !

Civilization is destroyed and records lost. Only Dudian survives in a cryogenic sleep. Three hundred years later, Dudian wakes up and must become Dean to survive. Who can he trust in this world overrun by monsters without and within?

What will the hero bring to the world when he comes to this age as a humble mercenary through rebirth?

Chen Yan travels between worlds, ending up becoming an honorable prince in a medieval fantasy world. Yet this world was not quite as simple as he thought. Witches with magical powers abound, and fearsome wars between churches and kingdoms rage throughout the land.

Roland, a prince regarded as hopeless by his own father and assigned to the worst fief, spends his time developing a poor and backward town into a strong and modern city, while fighting against his siblings for the throne and absolute control over the kingdom. Join Roland as he befriends and allies with witches and, through fighting and even farming, pushes back invaders coming from the realm of evil.

Luo Xun had survived ten years of the zombie apocalypse—not by becoming a badass warrior, but by doing what any true otaku would: hoarding supplies, avoiding people, and absolutely refusing to eat canned peaches.

Then he dies. But instead of staying dead, he respawns three months before the apocalypse begins. Armed with a decade’s worth of doomsday knowledge (and anime logic), Luo Xun sets out to prepare for the end of the world—otaku style.

---------------

His plan: Buy all the instant noodles. Stockpile solar-powered gadgets. Build the ultimate apocalypse man cave. Avoid drama.

But in reality: He ends up rescuing a gorgeous architect named Yan Fei, who looks like he should be sipping lattes in a Paris café, not laying bricks and hoisting steel beams like a tank in tight jeans. Luo Xun’s reaction?

[“He’s too pretty. He must be useless. Definitely can’t cook.”]

Spoiler: Yan Fei *can* cook. And flirt. And install solar panels.

Together, the two build the chillest stronghold in the zombie world, complete with hydroponic gardens, renewable energy, and occasional relationship bickering that sounds like:

[“You bought *another* solar oven? Where will we even put it?”

“Next to the anime figures. Priorities, okay?”]

Despite the horror setting, this novel delivers deadpan humor, wholesome survival strategies, and a romance so domestic it could be sponsored by IKEA. It's the apocalypse—but make it cozy.
