[You Have Been Chosen.]

The apocalypse crashed my life in a single day: fired by my ruthless CEO, Mu Qinglan, abandoned by so-called friends, and chased by zombies through blood-slick streets.

But at the brink of death, salvation appeared as a floating, glowing message—reality itself shifting into a game-like interface.

[The Ruler System Has Activated.]

I don't level up through grinding. Instead, each loyal beauty recruited becomes my strength. Every zombie killed feeds my rise.

My first recruit? Mu Qinglan herself—Ice Queen CEO turned hungry undead.
I barely saved her with the system’s emergency cure, and now...

[Subject: Mu Qinglan (S-Tier) recruitment complete.]
+100 EXP | Leadership Lv.1 | Unique Skill Acquired
Rank: Loser → Partner

Now, the cold goddess who ruined my life is obsessively loyal, deadly, and disturbingly attractive.

She’s just the beginning.

In this chaotic apocalypse, survival isn't enough. I'll forge an empire of loyal S-Tier beauties, each adding power to my dominion. Together, we’ll rise from nothing, carving a kingdom from the chaos.

I refuse to merely survive—I'll ascend as the Apocalypse King.

Apocalypse King: Recruiting S-Tier Beauties With My Ruler System

March 21st, 2:54 PM — Longwan Mall Rooftop

I didn't hear the alert. I felt it.

A weight settling in the air. Like every breath took longer. Like the rooftop suddenly tilted underfoot, pulling my thoughts in one direction and refusing to let go.

Mu Qinglan turned toward me, sensing the shift. Her eyes locked on mine. "What is it?"

I didn't answer right away. My system window glowed against my retina, text forming quietly, as if afraid of being seen. I scanned it, my jaw tightening with each line.

And not just random shamblers or Crawlers. Stage 2 variants. Clustered. Moving in waves.

And something worse was guiding them.

"Everyone," I said, voice low. "Get over here. Now."
