The apocalypse is not the end — it is a game. And only the elect can play along.

Every week, a few chosen ones are placed in a twisted mirror of reality — a world on the brink of annihilation. Here, players must survive a new cataclysmic disaster, armed with only one randomly selected ability.

Ethan Cross never asked to be a player. But when he is drawn into the Apocalypse Game, his first draw changes everything:

"the Eye of Death" - an SSS-ranked ability that shows him visions of his own death.

While others fight blindly, Ethan outwits fate itself and replays his own demise until he finds the perfect path to victory.

"Congratulations! You have overcome the disaster of [Puppet Kingdom] and obtained the [Severing Seven]: [The Severing Seven]!"

"Congratulations! You've eliminated the threat of [Abyssal Horror] and received [S-Rank Ability: [Abyssal Horror]: [S-Rank Skill: Scales of Judgment]!"

"Congratulations! You have shattered the paradox of [Time Reversal] and unlocked the [SSS Rank Skill: Sword of Destruction]: [SSS Rank Skill: Sword of Annihilation]!"

Other players: "Bro, we’re still learning the rules, how can you clear dungeons already?"

Apocalypse Control Bureau: "Mr. Cross, your survival is crucial to the future of humanity! STOP THROWING YOURSELF INTO DANGER!"

Reality Hacker: Apocalypse Loop

Ethan's phone buzzed incessantly from Lin Yujia's spam texts. He quickly silenced it.

Wang Zi Chen picked up on the first ring. "Ethan! You decided—"

"...I'm holding the phone," Wang muttered before John's deep voice took over.

Ethan shared the key points of the prophecy:

Endless rains before the apocalypse

Two survival options: Everest or the open ocean

"Fuck me sideways," Wang said. "You've got an S-grade prophecy skill?"

"Higher," John clarified. "Normal prophets get vague haikus. This kid's reciting the whole Wikipedia page."

Next to Ethan, Lin Yiwan stood perfectly still, hands clasped behind her as she scanned for threats. It was somewhat ruined by:

Every male student stared at her legs.

A classmate's jaw dropped to the ground.

"Morning, Starbro!" the classmate shouted.

Ethan's eye twitched. Never drinking again.

When the guy noticed Lin Yiwan, his eyes widened. "Starbro... this your girlfriend?"

The classmate's dorm chat blew up:

"Starbro upgraded after yesterday's rejection!"

"Those legs could solve world hunger"

Lin Yujia chimed in: "Pfft. My sister's hotter."

Ethan's clueless roommates missed the drama, too focused on headshotting zombies. "Don't die over Su Qianran," one said as Ethan packed.

The welcome banner hit him like a bomb:

Under it stood Wang, Spiky, and John waving like overly excited flight attendants.

"ETHAN! WE'RE HERE!" Wang yelled, grabbing every eye in the terminal.

Lin Yiwan's professional demeanor slipped. "Your... associates?"

Spiky cheered, shaking the banner like a matador's cape. Two security guards moved toward them.

Ethan took a deep breath. This... is my life now.

New Girlfriend???
