Name: I Saw the Apocalypse Coming, So I Stockpiled a Little Too Much
Author: Wandering Longyuan

Synopsis

One day, an old man grabbed my hand and said, "Young man, I can tell from your remarkable bones that you're clever and brimming with potential. Just give me ten yuan, and I'll tell you a huge secret."

Me: "Sir, don't try to scam me. I've been around the block. They call me the ruthless flower-plucker, the thousand-handed butcher, the ten-thousand-year... Sir, don't fall over! Fine, I'll pay you!"

I emptied my pockets, even fishing the coins out of my socks. At last, the old man smiled and slipped a rusty iron ring onto my finger. "Since we're clearly fated to meet, you can have this. I'll even tell you a huge secret, so no one thinks I'm trying to scam you! Come closer and listen carefully!"

As he counted the money in his pocket, the old man told me that after midnight on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the world would end, and I should stock up on supplies.

I wasn't about to believe such a pathetic lie. After checking that no one was nearby and making sure there were no cameras around, I snatched the wallet from the old man's hand and ran for it.

Heh heh heh! You tried to scam me? I'll make sure you lose every last cent!

It's So Rare to Find an Apocalypse Novel Without Stockpiling Anymore

I’ve been browsing apocalypse novels lately, and they all seem to be about stockpiling supplies or romance. Are there any more male-oriented apocalypse stories with zombies and supernatural abilities, but no stockpiling? A female lead is optional. Ideally, the protagonist is reborn.
