Synopsis – I Was Betrayed and Reborn as the System of the Apocalypse The world ended overnight. Cities burned. Monsters crawled from the shadows. Humanity fell—and I died. Not at the hands of fate. Not in some heroic battle. But betrayed by the one I trusted most. Then… I woke up. Not as a survivor. Not as a hero. I became a SYSTEM. A disembodied intelligence with the power to bind humans, grant abilities, and manipulate their every move. Every choice I offered carried temptation, every reward concealed a price. Bind a weak host… or consume for instant power? Decide carefully. Fail… and your host dies. As I guide my first host through the apocalypse, I discover hidden functions, rival systems, and monsters beyond imagination. The line between savior and manipulator blurs. And soon, I realize: the true threat isn’t the apocalypse. It’s what I am becoming. Will I reclaim my body? Will I betray my own hosts? Or will I ascend beyond humanity… into something terrifying? One choice can save a life—or destroy it. Welcome to the apocalypse. Welcome to the System.

Nothing is sure in this continent. Three heroes were chosen to stop this unknown threat. By who? They will face seven Hell, dragons and many more. Will they reach the light their people wish for? If they reach the light what will they do? Just questions. Author's words. I always want to write about chosen hero trope with a twist. So don't expect a usual hero. The main characters are hard to explain since their origin is weird. Tag warned. It has raped and underage sex. I will not write to them. Just mention those scenes. And had inbreeding. Three povs. And a lot of foreshadowing. The first few chapters are not grammatically correct. I am editing so please read at least 20 chapters or 10. And write a review as well.

2023 was when it started. The world shook and trembled at the sight of the massive red portal that was sitting in the middle of the road. Korean officials wasted no time in surrounding the area and shutting it off public view, but they were too late. It only took a split second for people to register something bizarre happening in front of their eyes and another for chaos to ensue. Hectic, was one word to describe the next few moments that took place as people ran as far away from the portal as they could. Some stayed as fear took over their body racking every limb that you could name as their minds became blank. Others? They recorded and posted to every social media that came to mind. People got on their knees and prayed, Tears running down their faces as snot tickled their noses but others preached telling their neighbors to repent and to seek right for their wrongdoings as they still had time to make things "right" with the higher beings that they believed in. That event would go down in history as the first 'Nexus' Sighting.

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio?

Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through.

Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
