《Monster Tamer In The Apocalypse》Chapter 2. Endless Suffering
Advertisement
After 2 months after Chen Qiang and his sister, Chen Qing arrived at the camp, a lot of things happened.
Initially, this place is a strategic place for the military to march into the Jiangnan city while gathering the survivors and sending them to the base that the government has just started to build.
Unfortunately, the military can only complete the skirmish plan and cannot go through to the inner city because the number of zombies they face keeps increasing with the sound of arms created. Not to mention the lack of manpower and limited arms they have.
After all, in the military itself has a lot of difficulties. Therefore, they can only send limited soldiers, so after 3 days he and his sister Chen Qing stay in temporary camp, they with all the survivors that still hasn’t transferred, going to the base with the withdrawal of the military.
After Chen Qiang and his sister Chen Qing stayed at the base, they could live slightly more comfortable than the others because of Uncle Zhan Hai, a friend of their deceased father, Chen Kong, who owned a lot of the estate in Jiangnan.
Their father is one of the largest holding shares of the Duwei Mining Group Company and has a high position. The Duwei Group is the twentieth largest company in China. Principally involved in gold mining and smelting, coal, it also deals in copper, lead, zinc, silver, and even iron products in much smaller quantities.
Chen Qiang was the heir of his father. He should have already taken all the inheritance of his father when he was an adult, but he told the lawyer that he wanted to temper his youth first and would not meddle with the business or decision making on the Duwei group, and take back all the right after he got his Bachelor's degree. Because he's afraid the burden is too much for him and eventually damages his father's inheritance. But when he's just in his fourth year who knows that the evolution day destroyed everything.

Chen Qiang and his sister almost saw every change in the base. Like from the depleted of the food, makes a lot of people suffer until they die. At the start, the base gives the survivors food that almost makes them fill, but now they only give them bowls of thin porridge that just sustain their lives. Because there are a lot of people in the base, so they must try to save for the future.
The ordinary survivors must work in the base such as building the wall that has a lot of danger to get food stamps in order to live slightly better or they can make a team to search resources like food and drugs and can be exchanged with the base for what they need such as weapons.
The military is always cleaning the zombies in the surrounding area, and sometimes they confront the mutated beasts. The meat of the mutated beast is really precious, when the soldiers continue to eat the meat of the mutated beast that they hunt, such as mutated rat or cat, one of the teams accidentally becomes awakened. Not just does his body seem to get enhanced, his ability is that he can really run faster than an athlete. Moreover, the meat of mutated beasts can make them recover their stamina really fast.
To be awakened, Actually not just because of eating mutated beast’s meat, there is not too rare to see awakened by the sudden change, the military has a lot awakened that often hunts mutated beasts.
The mutated beast is also not just precious for the ordinary people, the awakened too needed meat of mutated beasts to quickly recover their stamina when they have used their ability.
The awakened is a term for the human that opened their potential, they are faster growing stronger than the ordinary human and they would have one or two abilities.

Chen Qiang and his sister see, day after day many people die in this era for various reasons, such as hunger, fighting, injustice, the people that go out never back again, and so on. Even miserably a lot of women start selling their bodies for food.
Although they can be considered live slightly more comfortable than the other, they are not that much different. They just eat cooked rice with some meat and rarely eat vegetables. The difference is that they live in a secure and comfortable place. They do not need to care for sanitation because of the good sewerage system and occasionally some people cleaning the area around. Not like the people in the slum that are full of many, not good odors.
Day after day the dominion of the higher up in the base keeps rising, but injustice is still everywhere.
Although Uncle Zhan Hai is rich, he is still too far away from his father. The money paper or estate does not have anything useful now, even if the money paper still has worth, almost all the people would refuse if someone wants to buy something with that, and the resource in the base cannot be traded using paper money. Now, almost all of his gold has run out. Fortunately, Chen Qiang now goes out to find the resources, and that lightens his burden.
Chen Qiang occasionally goes out to fight the zombies and search resources too, he knows in this era the power and strength is everything.
But unexpectedly he felt the zombies started to get more and more powerful. From the sluggish-like until they could walk fast, their power is also getting bigger.
In the past, he could handle multiples of them if he was prepared. Now, face against just one zombie and if he is not cautious enough and just makes any mistakes, he is sure he will be turned into a zombie or die.
Chen Qiang now very often goes out to polish his skills, and when he meets one weak mutated beast, he will hunt it for his food. He can feel that when he ate the mutated beast, his power slightly enhanced and with his polished skill, the effect is very obvious.
Although the mutated beast is very powerful, as for the chicken, mouse, cat, he still can handle it if just one or two as he cared enough. If he is not careful enough just one cat jumps at his neck and claws it, then it will be his end.
One day when he just goes back from his hunt with his team, he cannot find Chen Qing everywhere, he asks Uncle Zhan Hai but he still doesn’t see Chen Qing come back.
Chen Qiang from that day always tries to find her, he searches to place her occasionally go, but still doesn't have a slight clue. He was really frustrated, his little sister Chen Xi died by zombies because he was too weak. He always felt remorse afterward and felt a little better after he swore to protect Chen Qing, but now she has also disappeared.

Of Life and Light
Home. By definition, such a word means "A place where one lives", but what happens when one is removed from their home by those with greater authority? One would seek out another place to live, of course. Karastak, a Devil King and a Fallen God of a world called Terra, was removed from his world by something greater than himself, and has journeyed to the world of Azzarath by way of Azazel, God King of the Azzarathean Pantheon. Perhaps she performed thusly through pity, charity, or a simple act of kindness with no strings attached. Regardless, he is deposited near a village upon a mountainous range within the world. There, he meets up with his Human family, a grizzled old Templar, a shy Cleric, and an apathetic Mage, that came to take him away from his troubles, but he does not budge. That is, until one of his servants speaks of finding a new home. However, perhaps instead of finding a home, he finds adventure instead? The story within is a Frame Story, which means it is a story within another story. In that this one is being told by three personages, a God King called the Ageless, a Lich King called Brutus, and a Goddess named Sarah. Each of them speaks of the Ageless's past self, one called Karastak, as he journeys onwards throughout the worlds within the Azzarathean Pantheon in search of something more.

On Astral Tides: From Humble Freelancer To Astral Emperor
What would you do if one day you were told you were one of the chosen who would have to battle to save the world? Akio was an average guy, having moved to the big city from his humble town in the mountains. Sure, his IT freelancing job wasn't making him big money, and he wasn't exactly a hit with the ladies, but life wasn't all that bad... until one day a mysterious angel-like being visited him to tell him the Earth was in danger. Many would be chosen to fight this fate, but would any succeed? Of course, if one could have the usual cheat skills everything would work out, wouldn't it? So why was his skill like a garbage pay-to-win mobile game? Akio would have to not only hone his skills and build his Astral Empire, but he would need to raise money, secure land and become a player on Earth too! Facing this challenging task alone would surely be impossible, so Akio needs to make strong and beautiful allies to take on all those who would oppose him. Who would that be, you ask? The old myths of Earth are returning, alien invaders are waiting outside on the Astral Tides, Cultivators are looking for their next faces to slap, Demons are whispering poison into the ears of anyone who would listen, and whoever was trying to save Earth by granting various people powers were making some really awful choices... Join Akio as he starts at the bottom of the ladder, clawing his way to the top and discovering one can change their destiny, so long as they work hard (and have a boat-load of money!). [Note this story is Harem, and since many don't like that, be warned! It's more Sevens than Isekai Smartphone though. There will be some R-15/18 scenes for the Harem (though I have toned down the one posted here from the original drafts more to the R15 side.] The story is pretty much evenly split between progression fantasy and real-world character building and events, hopefully blending together to make a compelling narrative about how someone could change themselves and the people around them for the better if given the chance by some miraculous intervention, while also hopefully saving the world (and maybe other worlds too.] Update schedule revised: Minimum 3/week - Tues/Wed/Thurs but will aim to hit 5/week where possible If you have any questions re: future plot turns/types of things that might happen and want to know so you know whether you'd find it worth your time reading, feel free to drop me a PM and I'll let you know. No story is for everyone, so no worries!
