The world ended not with a whisper, but with a scream.
When a blood-red sky blanketed the earth and the dead began to rise, the rules of survival were rewritten. Cities fell. Governments collapsed. The age of humanity ended in a single, explosive moment—and something far worse began.
Leo Grayson was just another high school senior, average in every way—until the apocalypse turned his classmates into warriors and corpses. As monsters evolve, so do the living. A mysterious system grants powers and levels, turning survivors into fighters… or victims.
But Leo is different.
When others gain experience, he discovers something darker—a hidden core inside zombies, invisible to all but him. Devouring it gives him strength beyond the system’s limits… and a mutation path no one else can access. Each core brings power. Each core chips away at his humanity.
As friends become fighters, allies form clans, and cities burn under the weight of monstrous evolution, Leo must decide: will he lead the new world, or devour it from within?
Power has a cost. Leo is ready to pay it.

The pacing might feel a little fast in the beginning. I have improved it in volume 2 which starts from Ch 21. Please atleast read till chapter 30 before you decide on further reading.

Shameless author's review. Ha ha ha The story is still in its early stages. I am still trying to find out which pace suits the storyline the most. Please be patient and read the novel. I need your support. Power stones would be appreciated. Rate the novel and let me know your view.
It's perfect, oh webnovel, what more can I say ? I've read a few chapters but I'm already charmed. It's like love; you have to be unloved to see the flaws. I hope the future holds only good things for this book.
A unique concept of a Zombie Apocalypse that’s refreshing. Not your ordinary run of the mill main character. There are lots of things foreshadowed that keep you coming back wondering when they will come to fruition!
Action packed and fast paced thriller with interesting characters, it's that kind of novel. Oh did I mention it got zombies? Yeah, it got that too and a lot more. So better give it a read to uncover whatever else lurks in the novel's shadows!
The story has a good structure, but I got a problem with pacing it's still improving, but the novel is coming up good
