Synopsis: Apocalypse King: The Return of Lucian

Lucian died in the apocalypse—betrayed, powerless, and consumed by the undead. But fate gave him a second chance. Reborn one month before the end, he awakens with future knowledge, an overpowered system, and a ruthless new personality.

This time, he will not be weak. This time, he will rule.

With Infinite Storage, he stockpiles weapons, food, and everything necessary to survive the apocalypse. Winning the $3 billion lottery, he builds an impenetrable super shelter, reinforced with military technology, luxury, and high-tech defenses. Using his Beauty Evaluation System, he gathers only the most stunning women—90+ points or higher—into his harem, ensuring their unwavering loyalty.

As zombies evolve, superpowers awaken, and the world crumbles into madness, Lucian will steal, conquer, and dominate.

No gods. No heroes. Only the Apocalypse King.

A brutal, R18+ tale of survival, power, and harem in a world where the strong take everything.

Apocalypse King: The Return of Lucian

Chapter 34: The Awakening of Abilities

The night was thick with tension. The scent of smoke and blood filled the air as the survivors huddled together in the dimly lit shelter. Lucian stood at the center, his crimson eyes surveying the uneasy faces around him. The recent system update had strengthened him beyond comprehension, but tonight, something else was stirring.

Outside the villa, the streets had grown eerily silent. The usual groans of the undead were absent, replaced by a subtle hum—a low, resonating vibration in the air. Lucian's enhanced senses picked it up immediately, and his expression darkened.

"Something's coming," he muttered.

Evelyn, standing beside him, tensed. "What do you mean?"

Before Lucian could respond, a sharp, piercing scream erupted from outside. The shelter's reinforced steel doors rattled as if something massive had slammed against them. Then, a deafening explosion followed.

The entire villa shook as a shockwave tore through the entrance, throwing debris everywhere. Dust filled the air, and chaos ensued.

"Everyone, get back!" Lucian commanded, stepping forward.

From the smoke emerged figures—not zombies, but humans. Their eyes glowed with unnatural light, and an aura of raw energy surrounded them.

"Abilities…" Lucian narrowed his eyes. He had been expecting this. Ever since the apocalypse began, he knew it was only a matter of time before other humans started evolving. But he hadn't expected it to happen so soon.

A man stepped forward, his muscles bulging unnaturally. He cracked his knuckles, a wicked grin on his face. "Lucian, right? The infamous tyrant of the apocalypse. We've come to challenge you."

Lucian smirked. "You've made a mistake."

Before the man could react, Lucian vanished. A blur of motion, and then—

Lucian's fist connected with the man's gut, sending him flying through the broken doorway. The other intruders hesitated, realizing they had severely underestimated him.

The system's voice echoed in Lucian's mind.

[Host has encountered Awakened Humans. Analyzing abilities…]

The system rapidly identified the powers each of the attackers possessed. Super strength, enhanced speed, elemental control… They were formidable, but not invincible.

Lucian tilted his head. "I'll give you one chance. Kneel, or die."

One of the attackers, a woman with electricity crackling around her hands, lunged at him. "We'll never—"

Lucian's eyes gleamed. He extended his hand, and with a mere thought, his newly acquired Apocalypse Fighting Style activated. His movements became impossibly fluid, his strikes precise.

A gunshot echoed through the air as Lucian fired a round straight into her shoulder, dropping her instantly. The others faltered.

He walked forward slowly. "I wasn't asking."

Some of them turned to flee, but Lucian raised his hand. The Absolute Dominion ability took effect, freezing them in place with an overwhelming force of will.

"Now," he said calmly, "let's have a little chat."
