In this latest work by Lord of the Mysteries author, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, be prepared for a well-thought out and detailed apocalyptic, cyberpunk world with a setting superseding Lord of the Mysteries!

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.

【Death Rewind + Predict the Future + Kill the Virgin First + Dark Style + Weird Revival】

Accidentally traveling to a world invaded by a weird, Fang Xiu awakened the ability to rewind after death, also known as time travel. Every time he died, time would flow back to before his death.

In this weird world full of dangers, he could have survived, but he chose to announce to the world, yes, I am a prophet, I can predict the future!

When the prophecies were confirmed again and again, the name of the prophet resounded throughout the world, and his words were the truth, the future.

The phrase "I have seen the future" attracted people all over the world.

Fang Xiu's followers even said bluntly that if one day the prophet asked you to die, don't hesitate, don't question, please die immediately, because there must be a more terrifying way of death waiting for you later.

B-level weird event, [Warning]

Teammate: The weirdness is hidden among these villagers, and must be carefully explored.

Fang Xiu: "The one in the last row wearing white is you, come out!"

A-level strange event, [Human Head Lantern]

Teammate 1: There are thousands of lanterns with human heads in this area. Once the light shines on them, their heads will fall to the ground. The most terrifying thing is that the lanterns with human heads are floating irregularly, and it is impossible for anyone to walk past them. Hey! Where is Fang Xiu?

Teammate 2: He, he...he is on the opposite side!

Teammate 1: What! ? How did he get there?

Teammate 2: Let’s go...walk over.

[Behind the Scenes] + [Group Portrait] + [Creating Extraordinary Things] + [The Protagonist Has Little Role and No Standpoint]

The world began to go wrong.

When the first apostle breathing fire walked the streets, when the first hero soaring into the sky tore apart the heavens...

The whole world was thrown into frenzy and panic by this sudden change.

Countries urgently set up mysterious organizations, defining their appearance as the highest level of "natural disaster", frantically tracing the source of everything, but always in vain.

No one knew that the instigator of all this was just a young man hiding behind thousands of people - Lu Yuan.

He does not need worship, does not desire power, and has no intention of judging good and evil.

He just sits behind the scenes, in a dimension that the world cannot perceive, using the seven emotions and six desires of all beings as paint, and the magnificent times as the painting, observing with interest this new era ignited by his own hands.

[Give me fire, and I will control it; give me eternal life, and I will enjoy eternal life.]

"I am the origin of countless extraordinary people, and also the final destination hanging over their heads."

"Now, let me see, when a mortal takes up the scepter of the gods, how interesting will the world become?"

【Transformation + Simulation】

Su Muxian, an ordinary person, boarded the train and began the simulation after awakening the system.

In the simulation, she is the adoptive mother of the God of Fertility, the mentor of the God of Hunting, and a self-destructor who accidentally came to the immortal boat Luofu.

"No one told me what happened in the simulation was real."

Looking at the two star gods who were on the verge of a fight, Su Muxian was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

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.”

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

This is an era of infinite possibilities, steam and steel, gears and clockwork. Steam power and differential engines symbolize the infinite future of human civilization. However, no one noticed that under the haze of steam and in the shadow of steel, the dark, mysterious mystery has never left. And a traveler from a foreign land will unveil the mysterious veil in this turbulent, free and dreamy world, and write his own history and legend

A lucky yet unlucky guy traveled through time. Fortunately, he became the god that countless people longed for but could not obtain, and also gained eternal life. He named himself [Bit], the god of information and data.

Unfortunately, the place he traveled through was the Warp of Warhammer 40K, where a powerful being could come along and kick him to death as a curb at any moment.

In order to survive, he had to summon players from his hometown and incite war to produce information.

Countless years later, he looked at the [Player Cursed Legion] that started from one planet and gradually grew stronger, and suddenly an idea occurred to him: maybe he could take the position of the patron saint of mankind?

Far away on Holy Terra, the Emperor was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately stood up from the Golden Throne: "Brother, please take a seat!"

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?

[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!"
