He did get a fighting job, but it’s the weakest. What can he do? Summon a few skeletons?” “Also, aren’t there only like a handful of Necromancers out there? There aren’t a lot of experience or resources for them to inherit. Their future seems bleak.” “Forget Necromancers! I got the Holy Knight job! Your all-around king is here!” Not long after that, Lu Yan appeared in a full set of Death Nether Armor while wielding the Death Soul Scythe and leading a 100 thousand-strong death army.

Apocalypse Baby

Meet Alex Knight, a hardworking young man burdened by crushing debt and a bleak future. When his new boss turns his life into a waking nightmare, Alex finds himself trapped in a job he can't escape, his future held hostage by the whims of a tyrant. Just when he believes he has one anchor left—his girlfriend's love—a devastating betrayal leaves him utterly broken. But then the world changes. The system descends, dragging everyone into a chaotic new reality. Alex becomes the first to sync with it, earning a mysterious title: [Apocalypse Baby] [You have awakened the skill: Exploding Touch] [Anything you touch turns into a bomb.] Armed with a deadly gift, Alex rises from the ashes of his former life to become an unstoppable force in an urban fantasy world where power rules and vengeance drives him forward. Author’s Note: This story is about a man who loses everything—his freedom, his love, his sense of self—before the world itself collapses into chaos. Alex isn't a stoic hero who shrugs off pain. He feels it, breaks under it, and then rebuilds from the wreckage. Some readers might call him dramatic. And they're right—this isn't a power fantasy about a flawless protagonist. It’s about a man clawing his way back with explosive power, raw emotion, and zero filters. If you're into emotionally intense underdogs who explode (literally and metaphorically), welcome to the ride.

My Evil Cinderella: Taming a Villainous Wife

"Villains are made by people, they weren't born evil." ... Ever wondered how things would turn out if the story was focused on a villain instead of the protagonist of the story? All villains are doomed to a bleak ending no matter what kind of story it is. This is the story of a REAL villain who already has a BAD ENDING prepared for her until someone decided to stray her away from the wrong path... She was not someone who ended up being misunderstood by others. Nope, not this one. The villain I am about to introduce to you all is a scheming, gold-digging demoness. Shi Enxi had it rough. At a young age, she experienced things that a child didn't deserve. She lost her parents and her relatives took advantage of it. Her life changed after she was adopted by her half-sister. From then on, she decided that she was not going to allow others to bully her ever again. She never had a good life so why should she allow others to have one? Yes, that's the hideous thought that made her the villain in someone's story. She grew up to be cunning, ruthless, and merciless. She destroyed so many lives, including the life of the person she loved the most. Lu Mello saw how Shi Enxi's life unfolded with his own eyes. But who would've thought that he, a spectator from the sidelines would play a major role in changing our villainess? Unlike Shi Enxi, he grew up in a loving family. Although, he never wanted to take over the family business. How would these two play destiny's game? Rivalry? Infatuation? What should be the outcome of the game? Them as enemies, or as lovers?  Of course, as lovers. . . . "Darling, when will you die? If you die then all of these riches will be mine!" "..." Uh... Die? Lu Mello looked at her, a bit startled with what she suddenly said. When will his wife stop having such impure thoughts and for once just behave? "I don't have to die just for you to have everything of mine. You are my wife, all of these belongs to you."  Shi Enxi was pleased with what he said. She turned to him and leaned, giving him a soft kiss on his lips. "I will trust those words, okay?" He chuckled, amused. "I didn't know that my wife is actually a little gold digger." "Who wouldn't love gold?" She refuted back. "I'm even willing to marry an old man if he's this rich! But luckily, you're the one I married. My husband is handsome and rich!" He pouted, "I suddenly feel hurt. You're only after the riches I have, not the love I have for you." She placed her hand on his cheek, "I don't need you to shower me with your love, just shower me with all of this wealth then I am all yours!" "..." This part of his wife was not cute at all! Nope, not cute at all! Shi Enxi closed her eyes and let out a soft yawn. "I am free tomorrow..." She whispered sleepily. "Darling... There's this limited edition bag... that will be coming out tomorrow." Another yawn was heard from her. "... I really want to have one." Soon after, her breathing became even. Lu Mello couldn't believe that she even dared to ask for something before going to sleep! She didn't even say goodnight to him! What kind of wife was she?! ---- Author: BerriApplepi IG: @berriapplepi Discord: https://discord.gg/z56kkGG Donate: paypal.me/berriapplepie Modern Fairytale series: The Devil's Sleeping Beauty (Sleeping Beauty) Ten Years Late: The Bullied Husband (Little Red Riding Hood) The Devil who devoured Snow White (Snow White) Beast Under Her Dress: Princess, Don't Run!
