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.

The Reborn Otaku’s Code of Practice for the Apocalypse

As the gates of doom descend, hundreds of diverse disasters are available for you to choose from.

Shipwreck, zombies, heat wave, poisonous fog, ice age…

At first, Gou Fugui refused, but, wolves in front and tigers behind, he was left with no choice but to close his eyes and jump into the vortex.

He thought it would be hard to survive in the apocalypse, but his [Quirky and Adorable Creatures Handbook] suddenly shone with the light of a golden finger!

Thus, Gou Fugui opened up the path to gather all kinds of riches and honors—

How can I survive if the sea floods the whole world?

Fear not! Turn into an otter and you’ll know how! You can float on the sea til the end of time, and you can store fish in your small pocket!

What if I don’t know how to fight against a strong enemy?

Don’t panic! Meet the flat-headed honey badger! When it comes to fighting, this brother has never been afraid of anyone!

What should I do if I’m surrounded by zombies and there’s no way out?!

Hold on! Fainting goat Fugui teaches you how to play dead and become a winner in life!

There’s also: the king of taunts, the Tibetan fox; the king of screams, the marmot; the house demolisher, ice king husky!

Although these oddballs are a little bit weird, and maybe a little bit of a waste too, there’s always going to be an odd waste that will get you through the apocalypse!

Later, every time a Doomsday Gate closed, there would be more than a few strange conversations between the gate’s survivors:

“Who closed the Doomsday Gate this time?”

“I don’t know. I only saw a Tibetan fox still alive before I fled.”

“A Tibetan fox? Why did I see a honey badger fighting against the zombie king?!”

“Wasn’t it the husky pulling the sled that closed the gate?”

After the calamity, the State compiled a confidential dossier on the saviors:

No. 000: Fantastic creatures that seem to have become Spirits.

Gou Fugui: Thank you, they are all me! ^_^
