Hoarding

Rebirth: Stockpiling resources throughout the Apocalypse

[Post-apocalyptic + System Space + Stockpiling + Base Building + Strong Female Lead + Reverse Harem + Not a Mary Sue] Who says a five-year-old can only be a burden? Yun Xiaoxiao, a formidable survivor in the post-apocalyptic world, is reborn six days before the apocalypse hits. Unloved by both parents and unwanted after their divorce, she decides to take matters into her own hands. At just five years old, she goes on a rampage. She empties out her father’s supermarkets and 4S car dealerships, landing him in the hospital. Armed with a super system in a world ravaged by zombies, extreme temperatures, and acid rain, she hoards enough supplies to last several lifetimes. She becomes a base-building maniac, constructing the strongest fortress in the post-apocalyptic world. Sunny Boy Next Door: “Little one, want big brother to sing you a lullaby?” Unlucky Bandit: “Kid, what do you want? I’ll get it for you.” Cool Big Brother: “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.” Yandere Hottie: “Little one, call me big brother and I’ll kill them all for you. How about that?” Hot-Tempered Brawler: “Shorty, who’s bullying you? I’ll beat them to death!” … Yun Xiaoxiao hastily raises her hand, “Stop, stop! I can take on ten at once!” “Whoever dares to bully me, I’ll finish them off myself!” (This story has no romantic pairings. Readers who mind this, please be cautious.) (The female lead appears innocent on the outside but is actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Her personality was shaped by the post-apocalyptic world, growing beyond the bounds of normal rules. So she’s a bit ruthless, a bit wild, a bit wicked…)

The Mob Butler’s Rebellion in a Villainess’s Otome World"

When 21-year-old cynic Aizen dies in a laughably cliché truck accident, he awakens not as a hero, prince, or even a sidekick—but as the butler to Seraphina von Eldoria, the doomed villainess of a popular otome game novel. In a world where magic academies breed cutthroat politics and love interests are pre-scripted by fate, Aizen quickly realizes his role is less "romantic lead" and more "expendable mob character." Armed with nothing but his sardonic wit, a mysterious System interface, and the uncanny ability to fade into the background (literally), he navigates a labyrinth of aristocratic schemes, magical duels, and heroines who won’t stick to their damn storylines. But when Aizen discovers his "Mob Camouflage" skill lets him manipulate events unnoticed, he turns the game’s rules upside down. Why should he watch Seraphina march toward her scripted downfall? Why let the bland protagonist hoard all the power? And why are the story’s female leads—the ice-cold villainess, the sunshine-haired heroine, a rogue mercenary princess, and a witch with too many secrets—suddenly noticing him? As Aizen’s defiance of the plot unlocks hidden routes and stirs chaos in the Arcane Academy, he becomes the wild card in a battle for control of the narrative. But the System isn’t just a tool—it’s a prison. And the more Aizen rebels, the clearer it becomes: someone wanted him here. Someone who knows his real-world past. Someone pulling strings even the villainess can’t see…

THE LEGION

In this universe, humans have come a long—long way. Throughout history, they have waged countless conflicts, driven by greed, ideology, and survival. Their society was plagued by strife—racial inequality, gender discrimination, and endless divisions. They fought wars over borders and resources, neglecting the most precious resource of all: Humanity itself." Yet fate had other plans. Despite humanity’s stubbornness, change arrived in the form of the Emergence. The first humans to undergo gene acclimation sensed the presence of mana. Thrilled by its discovery, humanity researched it—though at a slow pace, for old habits, you see, die hard. Even in the face of destiny. Petty conflicts persisted as humanity clung to its old ways—hoarding land, gold, and natural resources—blinding itself to the transformations unfolding in the wild. Soon the wild beasts, initially the first subjects of gene acclimation, began evolving under the influence of Mana. At first, firearms held the line. Nations, for the first time in history, set aside their differences and mobilized against a common enemy. But evolution cares little for human ingenuity. With each generation, the beasts grew tougher, smarter, deadlier. They began attacking in coordinated groups. Eventually bullets failed. Bombs followed. Then came desperation. In the first hundred years after the Emergence, cities collapsed like dominoes. Nations dissolved into quiet graveyards, overrun by feral beasts. Earth's population plummeted from eight billion to four. Yet humanity endured. Centuries later, the survivors fought back. Slowly, they rebuilt—huddling within fortified megacities, clinging to the last vestiges of civilization. Learning from their past mistakes, they invested heavily in gene acclimation, studying mana’s influence on different organisms. For a time, peace held. But peace is fleeting. At first, it was just a legend—a whisper in the dark, a tale meant to keep children in line. A shadow in the wild, its name spoken only in hushed tones. Then the legend became real. Humanity came to know of the Beast King, Kong. A monstrous force of nature, he united the evolving beasts under his rule. With terrifying intelligence, he led his horde in a relentless siege against the megacities. One by one, they fell. In mere decades, humanity’s numbers dwindled once more—from four billion to a desperate two. With humanity teetering on the edge of annihilation, the World Council debated nuclear fire—a suicidal gambit to purge the planet of both monsters and men. Just as extinction loomed ever closer....hope emerged. A warrior rose. Humanity’s last hope against the beasts. Jared Reeds—one of the first to undergo gene acclimation—wielded unfathomable strength, his mastery over the elements defying all reason. Where armies fell, a single warrior stood. Where bombs failed, his fists shattered the hordes. For days, Reeds battled Kong—man against monster, hope against oblivion. He could not kill the Beast King, but he did the impossible: he made it bleed. And with that wound, he bought humanity a second chance. A chance paid for in blood, in sacrifice, in loss. Learning from the failures of their predecessors, what remained of humanity banded together to forge a new world. Though nations and borders faded, governance remained. Humanity organized itself into federations—not bound by land, but by shared governance and cooperation. Citizenship was fluid, movement unrestricted, as the remnants of civilization banded together for survival and progress. Not as citizens of nations, but as people—striving for peace, free from war, discrimination, and disease. For the first time in history, humanity was truly united. Not by conquest. Not by necessity. But by choice. Like any civilization, they had flaws—but their strengths far outweighed their weaknesses. Millennia after the Emergence, with Mana as their guide, humanity advanced in all field

Battle in Camo: The Warfront Beyond the Veil

The year was 20XX, and the United States of America, once the self-proclaimed leader of the free world, had become its own worst enemy. It all started with an egoist president, a man who campaigned on rage and ruled with greed. He promised to "Make America Great Again—For Real This Time." But his policies weren't about greatness. They were about power. About control. The economy crumbled under the weight of corruption. Infrastructure collapsed. The rich hoarded resources, while the poor scraped for survival. The people who had voted for him—out of desperation, ignorance, or sheer stupidity—realized too late they had been sold a lie. Then came the phrase that changed everything. "Deny, Defend, Depose." It started as graffiti on city walls. A whisper in underground forums. A chant in the streets. It was a call to arms, a beacon for the oppressed. And it had a name attached to it. Luigi Mango. A man who shouldn't have existed. A man who the government feared more than war itself. Some called him a hero. Others called him a terrorist. The government labeled him Public Enemy Number One, blaming him for the assassination of a powerful healthcare CEO—a man whose greed had denied millions access to life-saving treatments. But there was a problem. The evidence didn't add up. The security footage was grainy. The photo of the alleged killer didn't match Luigi's description. And the timeline placed him miles away from the crime scene. Was Luigi Mango even real? Or was he just a fabrication, a symbol people created to give their anger a name? Either way, the world was watching. Luigi was thrown into a high-security prison, cut off from the outside world. The government threatened to execute him if the protests didn't stop. But instead of quelling the rebellion, the move backfired. The people took to the streets, their chants echoing through the ruins of once-great cities: "Free Luigi Mango!" The phrase became a rallying cry, a symbol of resistance against a corrupt and broken system. Graffiti of Luigi's face—often accompanied by the words "Deny, Defend, Depose"—covered every wall. Protesters wore T-shirts with his name, and social media was flooded with hashtags demanding his release. But the government didn't relent. They doubled down, deploying the military to crush the uprising. Cities burned. The streets ran red with blood. Yet, the people refused to back down. They had nothing left to lose. As America tore itself apart, the rest of the world saw an opportunity. Countries that had long resented American dominance began to flex their power. Nations formed new alliances. Old rivalries erupted into full-scale war. The first bomb dropped on Washington D.C. at 3:42 AM. By sunrise, New York was burning. The president, in his final act of desperation, launched nuclear weapons at anyone he deemed a threat. China. Russia. The Middle East. Even European allies weren't spared. The world retaliated. Fire consumed the planet. And then, the portals appeared. During a brutal battle, a strange rift materialized on the battlefield—a swirling vortex of light and energy in the shape of a gate. The soldiers, the governments, the rebels—all froze. It was as if time itself held its breath. The smell of burning corpses and gunpowder still filled the air, but for the first time in years, there was silence.
