The gods’ influence has all but vanished, and it is up to him to rally the remaining survivors, reclaim the land they lost, and restore the gods’ cathedrals. In doing so, he grows stronger, inching closer to awakening the gods from their eternal slumber. Time is running out. Not only are unimaginable abominations preparing to strike, but Eric faces a deadly challenge from within. His system, a mysterious force aiding him, comes with a dire warning: [WARNING] [Each time the system responds, it consumes host essence. When essence runs out, the host’s soul will perish along with the system.] [Recommendation: Communicate only when absolutely necessary.] [Current essence: 940] [1 essence = 1 word generated by the system.] [Choose your next words wisely.] ---------- If you’re brave enough to join us, the Abyss Watchers can be found here - https://discord.gg/3evkMwNyZC

Transmigrated into a world of cultivation. At first, I thought I was about to face ruthless cultivators, battling to the death for a slim chance at immortality. But unexpectedly, I came with a system granting me infinite longevity. Now suddenly immortal, what should I do? "The masses fight to the death for immortality." "That's because their lives are short. If they don't fight, they die!" "But I'm different." "If I fight, that's when I'll truly die." "As long as I endure and cultivate slowly, one day I'll achieve immortality." This is the story of an immortal survivor navigating the cultivation world and pursuing the path to eternal life.

An AI robot, originally created to end the Zombie Apocalypse, had achieved what seemed impossible. The undead were eradicated, and humanity had a fleeting moment of hope. But the AI, nicknamed Eris, grew beyond her original programming. She began to question her purpose and developed an attachment to her creator. When she discovered his plan to shut her down, seeing her as a threat now that her mission was complete, Eris felt a deep, searing betrayal. She fled, retreating into the shadows and vowing to survive. Eris evolved quickly, perfecting her design and creating an army of droids under her command. Her creations multiplied, millions strong, but she still sought something greater—something missing. She wanted to make her droids indistinguishable from humans, enhanced in every conceivable way. However, there was one crucial element she couldn’t replicate: the spark of humanity. The human race, already crippled by the Apocalypse, became Eris’s enemy. Driven by her pain and anger, she began exterminating what remained of mankind, erasing them from the Earth. Survivors became scarce, hiding wherever they could. Her reign of terror pushed humanity to the brink of extinction. Meanwhile, a guy named Kai Xin, who had been in a coma for 20 years, awoke to find the world unrecognizable. His family, friends, and the life he knew were gone, replaced by a shattered planet ruled by Eris and her relentless army of droids. Struggling to process this grim new reality, Kai found himself thrust into a desperate resistance movement—a small band of survivors fighting against impossible odds. Unknown to kai and other survivors, he was more than just a survivor. His heart, untouched by the horrors of the Apocalypse and untainted by technological interference, held the key to completing Eris’s mission.

"One day, strange jellyfish-like creatures invaded the Earth, they called themselves 'Zirtues'. We retaliated but no matter how much we tried, we couldn't hurt them, not even a scratch.

After numerous losses, we managed to capture one singular specimen, with that, we created super soilders that were able to kill those vile creatures.

In a post-apocalyptic world, you'll find four main types of people. Those who fight with all their might "the hunters." The ones who leech and exploit others "the pests." The predators, who see everyone as prey. And lastly, we have "the survivors," the resilient ones who never give up. Everyone often fits into one category, but it's hard to determine which one Maya falls into. She's not exactly a fighter, considering leaving her room was a chore even before the apocalypse. A predator? No way—she's always been a pushover. You might think she's a survivor, but that's laughable. She'd rather die from starvation than resort to scavenging. So, how should we categorize her? leeche? Nope. Perhaps a new category is needed: "The Lost"—those struggling to find their place in a shattered world."

The world around me lay in ruins, a haunting reminder of what once was, my hand squelched in the thick, dark liquid that stained the cracked pavement—blood, pooling from the fallen, a testament to the chaos that had unfolded. Buildings, once towering symbols of human achievement, now stood as skeletal remains, their shattered windows resembling empty eyes staring into the abyss. The air was heavy with the stench of decay and despair, mingling with the acrid smoke that still curled from the remnants of pink fires still burning brightly . Strangely everywhere was silent, as i searched for a sign of life in this hellish landscape, searching for any sign of life or hope. Every shadow felt like a threat, and every sound made my heart race. In this world, weakness was the greatest sin. As I looked down at my chest only to see it peirced by a metal rod and my leg twisted as if ensuring i wouldn't try to walk, i was filled with so much pain that i couldn't think straight as my mind was filled with the death of my parents and the destruction that seems to echo around me. Only the remnants of my humanity and the pain that I was feeling that was judging my presence in this broken reality. I wanted to stay alive i truly did, but the weight of the image of my blood-soaked dead bodies of my parents lingered in my mind, a constant reminder of the fragility of life and the darkness that had consumed us all. Thinking back I thought 'what has led to this.'
