So What If It's the Apocalypse? Don't Interrupt My Weightlifting!

[Apocalypse + System + Muscle-Bound Powerhouse + Ruthless and Decisive + Comedy]

Lino, a weightlifting fanatic trapped in a laboratory, eats a piece of meat to fuel his workout and gains the Devilish Muscleman System, which lets him grow infinitely stronger by lifting weights. After smashing through the door, he discovers that the apocalypse has already arrived.

The power is out, zombies are everywhere, mutated beasts run rampant, social order has collapsed, and humanity is on the brink of ruin!

A massive horde of zombies is besieging a human stronghold.

With their ammunition exhausted, the people at the stronghold broadcast a desperate plea: “The muscleman lifting weights on that hillside! Come save us! We'll give you half our supplies!”

Lino grips an enormous dumbbell, performing seated curls with perfect form. Without even looking up, he replies, “Relax. I'll think about it after I finish this set of three thousand!”

“You think you can sit back and reap the rewards? Dream on! When the zombies break through, we'll flush all our rice, flour, and protein powder down the toilet!”

“What did you just say?! You're going to flush the protein powder down the toilet?!” The four-meter-tall Lino rises like a mountain of muscle. “For that alone, not even the gods can save you!”

With a tremendous crash, the dumbbell, flying faster than sound, smashes the zombie horde into a cloud of blood and blasts the stronghold's concrete walls into powder, which tumbles into the river.

A fifteen-meter-tall muscle giant climbs out of the river, rubs the bump on its head, and asks, “I am the River God! Was that a gold dumbbell, a silver dumbbell, or a bronze dumbbell you just threw?”

Lino smirks. “None of those. Mine's an ordinary dumbbell with neutron stars welded to both ends of a golden cudgel!”
