After The Snap

Li Hua's reign as the twenty-first century's deadliest assassin ended in fire and betrayal. Her own sister, Li Min, turned their elite force against her, leaving nothing but ashes where a legend once stood. In the moment of her death, Li Hua's soul tore free from its earthly bonds, hurtling across the boundaries between worlds until it anchored itself in a new vessel in a realm of ancient martial arts and mystical cultivation. Through this impossible transition, her inner space remained intact—and with it, Little Firefly, her spirit companion. Here, where qi flows like rivers and mountains bow to those who master their cultivation, Li Hua will forge herself anew. No longer content to be merely an assassin of mortal flesh, she sets her sights on ascending to immortality itself—a journey that will shake the very foundations of heaven. DEDICATION To those of us whose cultivation path always leads to immortals with questionable morals and perfect jaw lines. May your daddy issues transcend the three realms and be rewarded with an ancient being who knows exactly what he's doing. AUTHOR'S NOTE Content Warning: This story contains mature themes.

For centuries, humanity believed itself to be the dominant species, ruling over the Earth without challenge. But everything changed when a meteorite struck the planet, shattering the Ice Wall of Antarctica and unleashing monstrous creatures from the depths of the unknown. As these beasts spread chaos across the world, another phenomenon emerged—ordinary people began to develop extraordinary abilities, awakened by the meteorite’s strange energy. With civilization on the brink of collapse, humanity faces a terrifying new reality: the world as we knew it is gone, and the true apex predators have arrived. Now, those who have awakened must rise to fight for survival in a world where myths become reality, and only the strongest will endure.

Jiang Ning was the true heiress of the Huo Family, lost and living outside. After being brought back by her family, her birth parents didn't like her, her cold-faced brother despised her, and her twin brothers would tell her to get lost from the home at the drop of a hat. Waking up alone in the hospital, she was diagnosed by the doctor with a terminal illness, yet her own family was busy throwing a party for the fake heiress. Jiang Ning was furious! She kicked these so-called family members one by one, sending them all flying! If they didn't accept her, she didn't care for them either! ...... Jiang Ning participated in a rural countryside live stream variety show. Her haters caught wind and came to greet Jiang Ning's entire family in the barrage of messages. But what they found was: Day one: Shock! Jiang Ning catches a thief on the street! A golden retriever runs over to help her. Day two: Jiang Ning snatches a child back from human traffickers with her bare hands! A bird publicly defecates on the traffickers' heads! Day three: Jiang Ning fights a criminal in a life-and-death struggle! A goose mocks them at the scene. Thief: "I had already finished stealing, and she still caught me. It's absurd." Murderer on the run for sixteen years: "You might not believe it, but I just came to buy a bottle of water, and she came up to me with a big right hook." A nice countryside live stream somehow turned into a legal synergy. The online audience crazily tagged the official police accounts: "Let's be honest, isn't she an undercover agent you dispatched?" "Jiang Ning's side job is entering the entertainment industry, but her main role is catching criminals, right?" A certain big shot attached a wedding photo: "Wife, mine."

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."

November 17th. A day that should have been ordinary became the day the world fell apart. The Collapse—a disaster unlike any other—destroyed over 80% of the population in a single stroke. Entire cities were reduced to ruins, the rules of nature were rewritten, and strange, otherworldly forces began to seep into the cracks of reality. Those who survived were left to navigate a world where power comes at a price, and despair looms around every corner. Silas Grayson was a man who always preferred the background, someone who never sought the limelight. But when the Collapse shattered the world, it shattered Silas’s quiet existence, too. Now, in a reality that demands action, he must navigate a landscape where ruins grant strange Authorities, rulers thrive on corruption, and whispers of beings far beyond human understanding begin to surface. As he ventures deeper into this harsh new world, Silas clings to hope—a fragile, flickering light in the darkness. But when despair threatens to crush even that, he must grapple with the question: How does a man hold on to hope in a world that seems designed to take it away? The Collapse didn’t just destroy the world—it created a new one. And surviving it will demand more than Silas ever thought he could give.

"Genevieve, don't you get it?" Jonathan's voice was laced with a hint of frustration, his words cutting through the air like a sharp blade. "I don't love you, and I never have," he continued, his tone devoid of emotion, leaving Genevieve's heart shattered into a million pieces. "Jonathan, wait... what do you mean?" Genevieve's voice trembled, her words barely above a whisper, as she struggled to comprehend the harsh reality. But Jonathan's expression remained resolute, his eyes cold and unyielding. "I love you, Genevieve, but I can't imagine a life with you," he said, his voice cracking with a mix of guilt and relief. "The wedding is off, I can't do this to myself," he declared, his words echoing through the room like a death sentence. Genevieve's world crumbled around her, her dreams shattered, her heart broken. "I'm sorry for telling you now," Jonathan said, his voice laced with regret, but it was too late, the damage was done. "Please stay," Genevieve begged, her voice cracking with desperation, but Jonathan was already gone, leaving her with a shattered heart. "I hope you find someone else," he said, his parting words a cruel twist of the knife, "someone who will love you like you deserve." But Genevieve's mind was a blur, her thoughts consumed by the anguish of Jonathan's rejection. She was lost in a sea of despair, unable to escape the pain that threatened to engulf her. Until Jayjay's soft voice pierced through the darkness, "Wake up, sleeping beauty." Genevieve's eyes fluttered open, her gaze locking onto her cousin's concerned face. "What are you doing in my room?" she asked, her voice husky from sleep, her mind still reeling from the vivid nightmare.

We are currently on a hiatus till dec 25th (date is subjective to change if I finish rewriting early) Reason: Currently in the middle of rewriting from ch 1 (better quality) + getting a bit of back log ready for daily ch posts. Thank you so much for following along till now. ——————————————————————— When I fell from that bridge, I thought I was finally going to be free. I have never been more wrong. I woke up in a world shaped by forgotten gods and cursed by powers no mortal can hope to comprehend. The kingdoms here crumble under unseen hands, ancient cards that whisper in forgotten tongues, and somewhere beyond the edge of reality, a jester laughs—his voice carried on winds that no one else can hear. They say fate is a game, and we are the pieces. But the rules are hidden, and the players remain unseen. I’ve seen the signs: spirals twisting in the heart of storms, shadows that stretch when no light falls, statues with eyeless faces that watch… and remember. But there’s something more. A riddle unanswered, a truth buried in the cracks of this broken world: Who holds the reins? Who decides what lives and what dies? I wasn’t the first to stumble into their design. I wasn’t the second. I am the last. I am the end. This is the legend of the pawn who turned the strings of fate. The fable of the twenty-third curse. The legend of the puppeteer.

None of it would matter as a zombie apocalypse breaks out and everything becomes about survival. Isamu's manipulative and strategic nature becomes key to his survival and those around him. Authors side note: I may not release a chapter daily, doesn't mean I dropped the book. Good books take time, not to tune my own horn but it's true. I'll release a minimum of 4 times a week cause life makes me busy. Also, 36k words before locked chapters, might seem early but that's what can I say. Thank you for understanding. #darkcomedy #psychological #strategy #zombies #survival there would be one more tag here but it would be a spoiler :)

After dying, thinking everything had ended, I woke up in an unfamiliar place and a new body. But now, I must uncover the meaning of this second chance.

Upon waking up, Aurel found herself standing in a place that was both unfamiliar and yet oddly familiar. A vast expanse of white stretched out before her, with a pine forest not far ahead. There was no mistaking it—this was the starting point of the first scenario, the Reohan Village route. At this moment, Aurel had awakened as a character in her favorite game, After The Great Disaster.

Milo was determined to find out why his former classmate joined the enemy and wreaked havoc on their hometown. He refused to believe that his friend could do something so evil.

The great stone appeared 3000 years ago, it changed the coarse of history completely as it gave people abilities beyond measure and these people are called the Chosen. I myself am a chosen however I am different I am what you call an mistake.

Elysia, now living a new life, appears to be moving forward, yet the shadow of her past trauma continues to silently haunt her. Though she outwardly presents a sense of normalcy, the emotional scars remain, lurking just beneath the surface. Her struggle is one of silent endurance—she is constantly reminded of the trauma she carries, whether through memories, flashbacks, or subtle triggers in her new life. The question looms: will she ever be free from her past, or will it always find a way to resurface, testing her strength and resolve? As the story progresses, it becomes clear that healing is not linear, and her journey to truly overcome the past may require not only her own inner strength but also the help and love of those who stand by her, especially the "male protagonist" who may be the key to unlocking her peace.

What comes after the end? The inescapable void? A relentless darkness where hope is nothing but a distant memory? Who do you trust when you can’t even trust yourself? When the echoes of your past mistakes haunt every step, and the shadows seem to whisper your deepest fears? I asked myself these questions before and after Z-day. I ask them every waking moment, but the answers never come. They never have, and I don’t think they ever will. In a world stripped of its humanity, where survival is the only law, the truth feels like a luxury we can no longer afford. I know that those left behind are the worst of humanity—the scavengers, the betrayers, the ones who have embraced the darkness. But there are also others who fell at the last minute, those who clung to their last shreds of decency before the end swallowed them whole. Some are burdened with crimes that seem small compared to the horrors that now plague the earth, yet the punishment is the same for us all. The doctrine says that sin is sin, no matter the good intentions behind it. I guess they were right. This world is unforgiving, and it doesn’t care about the reasons that led us here. Do I hate it here? Yes, I do. Every breath I take in this poisoned air is a reminder of what we’ve lost. Do I regret being here? Of course not, because I have a sister to protect. She’s my only tether to what’s left of my humanity, my only reason to keep fighting when everything else has been reduced to ash. My name is Paul Okonkwo, and I will get her safely through this hell on earth, even if it’s the last thing I do. No matter what this broken world throws at us, no matter how deep I have to sink into the darkness, I will be the shield that keeps her safe. Because in the end, that’s all that matters—keeping her alive, keeping her safe, even if it means sacrificing what little is left of myself.
