Dual Survival Cody

Chen Lin was an ordinary university student—until a shimmering, otherworldly gate pulled him into a shattered urban world overrun by monstrous creatures. In this perilous dimension, gates appear without warning, unleashing horrors capable of leveling entire cities. Humanity’s only defense lies in elite hunters who risk their lives to push back the abyss. But Chen Lin is different. When a Flame Wolf's fiery attack should have ended his life, a mysterious voice activated the Counter System, granting him immunity to fire. The system bestows him with a unique ability: every attack that harms him makes him stronger, turning his weaknesses into unyielding strengths. Teaming up with Liu Yurong, a hardened hunter with a tragic past, Chen Lin embarks on a journey to uncover the truth behind the gates, the monsters, and the system that has chosen him. As the abyss grows darker and the monsters evolve, so too does Chen Lin, gaining powers that defy comprehension. But the gates are just the beginning. The abyss watches, and something far more sinister waits beyond the veil. Will Chen Lin’s unyielding counter be enough to protect what remains of this world, or will he succumb to the abyss?
