[System + Apocalypse Survival + No Saintly Heroics + Battles of Wits + Fast-Paced]
The aura of the netherworld taints the wasteland. Civilization has been reduced to ashes, and order collapsed long ago.
Young Jiang Chen was born in the apocalypse and raised among the ruins. His only faith is protecting his younger sister, Xiao Yu, the only family he has left.
But when their home is consumed by flames amid a zombie horde, and he is separated from his only family and driven to the brink of death, a mysterious stone pendant he has worn since childhood opens the way to supreme power: the [Mutant Origin Stone].
Unravel evolution. Command mutation!
He embarks on an unprecedented path, one that lets him walk both the human path of awakening, "Return to the True," and the zombie path of mutation, "Descent into Corruption."
Transforming into a zombie to infiltrate enemy strongholds, building a Netherworld army to rampage across the wasteland, he sees everything as a stepping stone to the summit.
After surviving countless brushes with death, he enters humanity's last fortress as a powerful warrior, only to discover in shock that the frail girl he once risked his life to protect is now the human base's sharpest trump card, the ace warrior codenamed "Meat Grinder."
The protector and the protected reunite with a crash on the chessboard of fate.
What earth-shattering secret lies between the siblings? Where will the forces behind the destruction of their home, the shadow of the "Ouroboros," and the "Netherworld" descending from a higher-dimensional universe lead their fates?
