A meteorite falls from the sky, shattering the world! A strange contamination spreads, mortals mutate, and monsters roam freely!

Lin Ye, a young man who only wanted to run his family's blacksmith shop peacefully, was caught up in this apocalyptic catastrophe.

In a nightmare, he was branded with a cold mark on his soul and became an indescribable "Apostle"!

[Crazy Knowledge]? [Forbidden Authority]? Is this mark a curse or a source of power?

The abyss whispered seductively: "Offer your soul, and I will grant you godhood!"

Lin Ye roared, "To hell with Nyarlathotep! My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens!"

His left hand grips a hammer used to smash someone's head (symbolizing ordinariness and protection), while his right hand tears through the mad fog!

Who says the path of the apostles leads only to destruction? I, Lin Ye, will defy fate, trample the Outer Gods underfoot, and save this damned world!

(P.S.: The synopsis is weak, but the main story is super exciting! Post-apocalyptic survival + Cthulhu mysteries + Apostle evolution + tearing apart Outer Gods!)

My new work is out! Welcome to read my work on Tomato Novels. I hope you will enjoy it. Your support is my motivation for writing, and I will strive to tell every story well!

Natural disasters strike frequently, leaving no one unscathed; survival and development become the main themes! Only by building shelters can they withstand the relentless onslaught of destruction.

[Ventilation] - [External Circulation] - [Dual Circulation] - ... [Rudimentary Shelter] - [Wooden Shelter] - [Stone Shelter] - ...

[Not only the female lead, but also some characters have had their genders changed (not the main character, don't get me wrong). If you don't like this, please don't read! If you criticize these two things, your review will be deleted!]

…………

First simulation: [Dust of the End]

On Reed Island, glazed lilies bloom under the moon, the girl remains,

It’s a pity that it’s hard to meet old friends and the old times are no longer there.

…………

Second simulation: [Qilin Bell]

The bell is tied with a red string, it rings with every step, and I think about it with every step.

But has anyone heard the girl’s inner words, her longing is as endless as the night.

…………

The third simulation: [Crane Wandering in the Red Dust]

The covenant is as strong as a mountain pledge, and the two become a pair like a tree.

A crane travels on the road of the mortal world, and is bound by a rope for life.

Everything can be discussed amicably. If negotiations fail, there's always the longsword and wand. I'll just emphasize one thing: don't force me to draw Gwent. I've always felt insecure until I've collected 100 Gwent cards. — Marlowe Astor [Friendly reminder: This is not the world of the game *The Witcher*. It's an original world, and the cheat code is Gwent.]

The law is broken, the borderland is plunged into madness, and even demigods are beginning to fall.

There are countless heinous things happening in this land, the most egregious of which is——

The merchant only sells raw materials and does not buy finished products!

With blessing and guidance, countless descendants of warriors crossed the sea of fog and entered this ruined world.

Do you know what to do in the face of countless faded people?

Of course it's business.

Look at these tens of millions of faded people. They are fighting and suffering in the border area. What they need most is Dettol, equipment, and various consumables.

You kill monsters and I sell medicine.

Blessing is everything. Is the fastest way to obtain blessings by killing monsters? It's business!

Young Faded One, it must be painful to walk alone in the city without enough supplies. I will sell this dung beetle to you for 500 runes.

A mysterious armored man walks across the border. Sell the dewdrop beetle to the city, sit down for a delicious barbecue in the wild, turn the materials into various finished props, and sell them to the faded ones in the border area to earn huge amounts of blessings.

Even the Valkyries can't stop him from doing business, even if he does business with Galid and the sacred tree that hides from the world.

And when the huge profits attracted covetousness and businessmen were persecuted and framed, the mysterious man said this:

When someone falsely accuses you of having an affair with a flame, you better actually have one.

A certain idiot ran away from home for some reason. He fainted in the amusement park for some reason. Mao Lilan: Picked up a rich boy and ruled the world. The only female protagonist is Xiaolan. The male protagonist is stubborn, idiot, and has poor direction, but he has superb martial arts and can block bullets with just a nail clipper.

When the captain was elbowed by life, Alicia took the initiative to travel through time to elbow life back, but she didn't expect life to have such a big surprise... Why did Alicia travel through time?

Because I care about you, I traveled the world to see you.

“When I obtained the foundation stone, I was watched by the Amber King and saw a scene I had never imagined.” “What did you see?” “A swarm of insects blotting out the sun, a shattered foundation stone, a hoarse singer, tattered spiderwebs…it wasn’t a happy story.” “So, since you believe everything you see will become reality, what do you plan to do?” “I made some attempts, like protecting the singers who can no longer sing…that’s it.” “Go on, I’m listening.” Sunday looked at Jerami sitting opposite him, nodded expressionlessly, and wrote a few words in his notebook. (From the Robin Kidnapping Suspect's Confession)

When I woke up, I found myself a white-haired, red-eyed "monster" wandering in the ruins of Tokyo—a "cursed child" despised by the world.

But I know that inside this body lies a soul that does not belong here, and a cold memory that knows the tragedy to come.

This is not a game.

This is "Black Bullet," a desperate world where children are used as weapons and hope is sold by the gram.

The roars of Gastrea echoed outside the walls, while human malice festered within. And girls like me rotted in the cracks.

But I don't accept it.

They do not accept the tragic fate destined for Aihara Enju, nor do they acknowledge the inevitable demise of Senju Natsuyo, nor do they admit that there is no place left for "us" in this world.

Since we're homeless, let's build one ourselves.

My weapon is not a sword or a spear, but a bond.

The body's ability to awaken is strange—I can sense pain, share wounds, and ultimately weave our lives together in a web.

It all started with taking in the first fellow abandoned person, and with marking out the first inch of "our territory" in the ruins.

We steal supplies, exchange intelligence, walk the edge of the black market, and squeeze a glimmer of light from the cracks of despair.

We are a group of unwanted children trying to build a brick of our own in the apocalyptic torrent.

Rentaro Satomi wants to save everyone in front of him.

And I want to build an unbreakable wall for all the souls who have nowhere to go.

This is the worst of times, where the line between steel and flesh has become blurred.

This is also the best of times, because those who own nothing will eventually crown themselves.
