Doomsday Rewind: The Last Stronghold

Flame_Co
Imagine this: I’m Li Wei, heir to one of China’s most powerful families. Wealth? Check. Power? Check. Perfect girlfriend? Check. Life is great, right? Yeah, until the world decides to throw a massive tantrum and end it all. One minute, I’m planning to propose to the love of my life, and the next? Apocalypse. Earthquakes, tornadoes, and then—zombies. Because, of course. Oh, and did I mention my so-called friends and girlfriend betrayed me? Yeah, they threw me to the zombies while they zoomed away in their shiny car. Thanks a lot, guys. You’d think that’s where the story ends, but nope. Plot twist: I wake up two weeks before the apocalypse with all the knowledge of what’s coming. Now I get a second chance to not be an idiot. But here’s where it gets even weirder. There’s this soldier who tried to save me right before the world fell apart. He died. I died. Everyone died. But I’m back—so is he, sort of. He’s like this half-human, half-zombie thing, and, surprise surprise, he’s here to help me survive and get revenge. Oh, and did I mention I’ve got these awesome thunder powers? Plus, I’ve got a mysterious system giving me the power to build a base. So now, not only do I have to survive the apocalypse, but I also have to raise these two adorable yet totally creepy twins who somehow popped into my life. They’ve got their own weird powers too. Yikes. Now, I’m not just trying to survive—I’m going to protect the twins, take down the people who betrayed me, and rebuild my life, one thunder-powered explosion at a time. So, yeah. Chaos. The apocalypse. Betrayal. Zombies. Robots. And a very dysfunctional family. What’s not to love?

The Kingmaker System

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.
