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.

Alternative Title:

The Reborn Otaku’s Code of Practice for the Apocalypse

[Role Reversal—You'll See What Cruelty Is] + [No Female Lead]

When the human world was infiltrated by monsters and humanity was helpless, a game called [Night Paradise] suddenly appeared.

In this game, humans became the [Slaughterers], while monsters became the [Survivors].

After entering the game, Lin Yuan, who had been reborn, drew an X-Level Talent: Slaughter Abyss.

The effect of this talent is: For every perfect kill of a survivor, you can gain 2 points of Brutality, 1 point of Agility, and 1 point of Perception.

"With the roles reversed, Lin Yuan will use the weapon in his hand to show those monsters what true cruelty is!"

(This book is also known as "Shadow Cat's Journey to a Parallel World," another title "Dream Master of the Cat World," and another title "What? I'm the Protagonist?")

Felix looked at the black cat elf chattering beside him, then looked at the girl flying around with a yo-yo outside the window, and he fell into deep thought.

"No one told me there are superheroes in this world?"

"What? I'm the protagonist?"

"What?! My dad is a villain?!"

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?

Zheng Que traveled to the world of cultivation and began to practice diligently.

"Ghost Bride, why didn't you do anything today?"

"Did you dig the spiritual stone veins?"

"Did you collect spiritual herbs?"

"Look at the Painted Skin Girl, she has dug three spiritual stone mines today!"

"If you keep being lazy, how can I, your master, buy the customized version of the magic boat from the Tianqi Sect and live in the best cave in Xuanyuan Pavilion?"

"Listen, the world of cultivation is not short of female ghosts. If you don't do it, there are plenty of female ghosts who will do it!"

"How about this, come to my room tonight, I will give you some guidance..."

Twelve men and women of varying identities are invited into a new world.

Here, they must not only decide their lifestyles by voting on resolutions, but also constantly participate in life-or-death games to extend their visas.

And the designer of these life-or-death games is actually among them.

I have traveled through time, please speak for me!

As soon as Shen Xiu squatted down, he turned into a tree in the dark fairy tale multiverse.

Speak up! You must speak up!

Here, there is a weird fairy tale world

When the alarm clock rings, the lumberjack of Gouxiongling will walk out of his cabin and chop down trees with his electric saw. Every tree seems to bleed, but who knows if it is a tree?

The sheepless ghost village on the grassland is strangely filled with sheep every night, but are there really sheep under the sheepskin?

The bloody Little Red Riding Hood in the fairytale town took off the Little Red Riding Hood. Was it the hat that was taken off, or was it the…

There was a cooking competition in the palace, but there wasn't a single chef to be seen. All that was left was the steaming hot pot and the aroma of meat...

In the endless underwater world, a headless starfish always appears silently, and countless eyeballs always surface at night...

Every distorted dark fairy tale world makes people feel desperate

Fortunately, after everyone traveled through time, everyone was able to gain an ability.

And Shen Xiu's ability is called [Evil God Fabrication]!

"Unknown liquid + own bark + Bear Ridge mud = filthy earth spirit"

"Hybrid Monster: Super Invincible Monster's Tentacles + Twisted Monster's Head + Your Own Hand = The Twisted Hand of All Things"

"Broken goat horn + gray wolf skin + strange ghost money = the ghost two-headed demon"

"Owl's Wing Feather + Genius Wei's Eyeball + Mother Bear's Eyeball + Contaminated Chain = Angel's Eye"

When countless weird things are created by him, he becomes the evil god!

"Dark fairy tale? Can it be darker than me?"

"The Nameless One! The One to whom all things are one! Blind and foolish God! Come forth!"

When he woke up, Chen Mu, who was a criminal policeman in his previous life, found himself reborn in a parallel world.

He also became a wanted prison escapee responsible for the murder of his entire family!

The shrill sirens echoed throughout the city, and the criminals were being pursued and intercepted by heavily armed troops.

Under the dragnet of heaven and earth.

With a ding sound.

[The escape system is issuing tasks]

[Main Mission: Publicly update your escape experience]

[Side Quest: Find the real culprit in the family annihilation case]

Chen Mu: “????”

A virtual underground game that has no protection. Lurking with players who seek power, fortune and survival. Kieran chose to enter this VRMMORPG game without hesitation because he knows this is his only way out from death. Can he escape death in real life or dying via the game?

Zhou You originally thought his life would be utterly ordinary.

An ordinary birth, an ordinary upbringing, ordinary studies… and then an utterly ordinary death from a terminal illness.

Until he came across an equally plain-looking black book.

From then on, “ordinary” stepped into the realm of the “extraordinary.”

The inescapable Building No. 4, the eerie old street, the Flesh Abomination singing the Ascension Opera, indescribable resurrected beings…

Each script is a profound nightmare, yet every nightmare is also a chance at survival…

The candlelight flares, illuminating a tiny temple. The grotesque descends, and the curtain of the story rises once more.

—So then, welcome to the Grotesque Game!
