After the betrayal of Luciferel, and having to deal with the Nephilim problem God made a few changes to how Heaven was run. Time does not quite flow the same in Heaven, so God was able to draw inspiration from millennia of human history. In the end, God chooses to structure things like a mega-corporation with him as the CEO and his archangels acting as department heads. To keep the threat of another angel rebellion to a minimum, every few years the angels would be ordered to change departments. To ensure that things ran smoothly and that the communication between departments happened in a timely fashion a Heaven-wide internet was established called Godnet. Due to an accident caused by mistaken identity, John Smith was killed by an angel on her first day in the Department of Death.

The Angel was originally in IT for Godnet so she thought that it would be not too difficult to hide her little oops by altering a few records.

Figuring the " proper" department would step in to finish the process, the angel left to report to upper management, not wanting to receive an even bigger punishment than what she was already going to receive. In her rush to leave, she forgot to close down the connection to Godnet.

Will the creator of the apocalypse survive? Liu Peijin has spent the last decade writing a trashy LitRPG web novel. Too bad no one likes it, leaving poor Peijin bitter and far more interested in challenging negative reviews. Until one day, after arguing with a commenter, she receives an ominous message: “Tomorrow, 1p.m. I have a surprise for you.” Without fail, the Azure Dragon from her novel appears on the freeway before her—and slaughters dozens of humans in a flash. Blue screens flash all around. Murderous goblins flood the streets. Gods invest in humans to fight for their entertainment. Peijin's book has infected her world. Technically, she has the knowledge and skills she needs to survive; it’s all those readers she blocked, who are now gods passing cosmic judgement on her, that she's worried about. Or that one god who Peijin is certain never existed in her novel. And somehow, it knows more than the author herself

Six months later after the first infection, the human population decreased and is larger than it was in the beginning of the first month. Zombies have killed a lot of humans all around the world, making countries extinct, places becoming deserted from humans, and animal species that were categorized as extinct disappeared in the blink of an eye, where dogs and cats have started to become extinct species as the days go by. But, even if the human population has decreased, there’s still hope for a better tomorrow. Chapters will be released later this year.

In 2025, the mysterious “Virus Z” appeared in the Russian city of Sevastopol, transforming citizens into ravenous zombies. What was first thought to be a simple epidemic quickly revealed itself to be the most threatening pandemic in human history. Confident at first that they could stop this new pandemic, the world's governments failed to grasp the scale of the threat. As a result, China and Korea were among the first to fall. Then India, then Russia, until the whole Asian continent had collapsed. With no army able to stop the zombie tide, all of Afro-Eurasia succumbed and became a massive uninhabitable zone. In the end, only nature's impassable borders—the oceans—halted the spread of Virus Z. Ten years later, the world is divided into two zones: the forbidden Black Zone, where the infection is still present, and the White Zone, home to the world's survivors and refugees. The White Zone survives only due to Dr. Goldberg's “Genesis Project”—the creation of living biological weapons immune to Virus Z. These people, whose DNA has been modified to make them super-powerful, are known to the world as “Hunters."
