Two heroines + apocalypse + no System + no mindless power fantasy
Also known as On the Edge of the Abyss.
“On a day that should have been ordinary, the abyss descended from the heavens, and human civilization sank underground. From then on, the underground became a refuge for the weak, while the surface became an arena for the strong.
Rotting hands reached out from ashen swamps. Ethereal bells rang across deserted wilderness. Faceless beasts prowled through the black mists of the mountains.
Countless heroic spirits refused to settle for mere survival. Like sparrows struggling to fly against the wind, they fought with all their might. Then, like enraged wolves baring their fangs, they dragged the evil gods from the heavens, tore them apart, and burned them to ash.

Qiu Mu awkwardly stopped writing. The white-haired girl in his arms said nothing, but gently nuzzled his chin to urge him to continue.
