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.

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

In the fourth month after traveling to Blue Star, Luo Xian finally understood that the world was being swallowed by "gamification".

At first, he thought that the awakened [Revelation] ability was a cheat: the white subtitles could predict hidden rewards, and the bloody warnings could avoid fatal crises.

Until that day, the scarlet words exploded before his eyes—

[In 8 minutes and 32 seconds, the ghoul will rip your heart out from behind]

What's even more terrifying is that this warning doesn't come from a copy...

It appears in the real world.

In order to survive, Luo Xian must take the initiative to step into the death games that come into reality.

Because only players with extraordinary powers can fight against the torrent that devours everything.

[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?!"

[DnD deities] + [Missionary] + [Semigroup Images] + [Invincible] Lin Mo, an ordinary traveler, encountered the most outrageous start in history: the soul stuffed into the body of a newly broken black dragon chick? Immediately afterwards, a strange system was forcibly bound-bad news: it was not until five thousand years later that he was released! Good news: He is already a demigod. Lord Obsidian, the newly-minted demigod, still had no time to respond to his divine power, and more exciting news came: Is this frozen continent under his feet called Northrend? So... ... Is this Azeroth? Moreover, it is still the barbaric era that has only been three thousand years since the end of the ancient battles, which is exactly seven thousand years early for those "famous" plots?! All right, the dragon is the dragon, the god is the god, and the time has the advantage of early! There are no natural disasters, no Lich King, and all there are are are vast frozen soil, primitive tribes and... ... 嗷嗷待哺...

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?

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: “????”

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.
