He Levels Up By Sleeping

[WPC MAR 2025 ENTRY] The world changed when the HERO.EXE System activated. Suddenly, everyone gained a hero rank, a level, and unique abilities.

But when his system booted up, instead of the usual stats screen, he got a single line of text: [Welcome, Beta Tester. Debug Mode unlocked.]

The city calls him a monster. The media brands him a serial killer. The police want him dead. But they have it all wrong. In the neon-drenched underbelly of the world, he isn’t just another killer—he’s an assassin. A ghost in the system. A name whispered in fear. Framed for crimes he didn’t commit, every faction with a gun and a grudge is after him. His only allies? A black-market system that rewards perfection with power… and punishes failure with death. Contracts dictate his survival, skills must be earned, and every upgrade comes at a price. To escape the noose tightening around his neck, he must play the game. Hunt the hunters. Unravel the conspiracy. And in the end, decide—will he break the system or become its deadliest weapon? Because in this world, there’s only one rule: Level Up or Die. #Cyberpunk #Assassin #Thriller #LitRPG #Crime #Dystopia #System #Action #DarkFantasy #Conspiracy #PowerProgression

In such desperate circumstances, Su Xing chose to lie low and develop, cultivating Spirit Plants, concocting Elixirs, enhancing his Cultivation Level, improving the overall strength of the Human Race...

[Welcome to the New Era.] [You have been granted 100 Coins.] [Your Unique Skill has been awakened.] [To survive, obtain more coins.] [Methods: Slay the creatures. Kill the others.] Dimension Collapse. The world expanded tenfold, swallowing everything that once existed. The sky shattered like glass, and a massive rift stretched endlessly across it. From the darkness, nightmares emerged—monstrous beasts, ancient horrors, and creatures beyond human understanding. Colossal dragons appeared, their immense bodies eclipsing the sky, shaking the world with roars that shattered mountains and split the earth. As they ascended, the heavens trembled, the winds howled, and creation itself seemed to bow, for they were not mere beasts, but gods of destruction, heralding the end of an era. Vampires with glowing crimson eyes stalked the night. Demons wreathed in hellfire descended in endless hordes. Beastmen roared beneath the blood-red moon, while goblins, wild and savage, swarmed the streets, feasting on the fallen. Cities crumbled. Lands twisted into strange, terrifying shapes. Reality itself became a battlefield of chaos. Then, as if it were nothing, a glowing screen flickered into existence before every survivor. Terror settled in. Everyone had received a skill—some wielded power over the elements, others bent time or defied death itself. Yet some… awakened curses, abilities so absurd or sinister that they were doomed from the start. The rules were brutal: Kill. Adapt. Evolve. Chaos erupted instantly. Neighbors became executioners. Families slaughtered one another. Streets ran red with blood as the weak perished and the strong carved their place in this new world. Yet, amidst this apocalyptic bloodbath, one man did something truly absurd. --- A man awoke, stretching lazily. The world had changed, yet he… had simply been sleeping. A notification greeted him. [You have met the hidden condition of your skill: High Upgradation.] [You have unlocked S-Grade Skill: Sleep.] He stared at the screen, dumbfounded. What kind of sick joke was this?! Monsters roamed the streets, people were killing for survival… and his power was to take naps?!

The world was destroyed, torn to shreds by the war as it raged on. With the falling of nuclear bombs, the mutation strangely adapted and became an entirely new element. Those who couldn't withstand this mutation became beings tethering on the edge of life and death, becoming undead. Only a small population remains on the earth now. In this small population, some can adapt to the mutation and awaken unique powers in the apocalypse, while others are entirely unaffected, still like normal people.

Derek Carter never asked for a System, an apocalypse, or the pressure of being humanity’s so-called "last hope." He was just trying to survive the daily struggles of being an orphan in Paleview City—dodging bullies, scraping together meals, and lying his way into school. Life was already hard enough. Then, one day, a blue screen pops into his vision: [Warning: The world is doomed. Try not to die.] Yeah, great. Just what he needed—cryptic doomsday messages and no instruction manual. Now, monsters are creeping into the city, reality is unraveling, and Damien’s "legendary" starting stats are barely above zero. The System promises him power, but there's just one tiny problem—he’s never won a fight in his life. Armed with sarcasm, questionable decision-making skills, and the sheer refusal to die, Damien is about to embark on the worst (and possibly last) adventure of his life. Because if the world really is ending… he’s at least going to make it someone else’s problem first. After all, heroes are overrated—survivors get to tell the story.
