The Apocalypse Overlord Plays by No Rules

"I'll be dead in three months."

Xiao Lang was twenty-six. Before the apocalypse, his girlfriend had dumped him, and both his parents were dead. After it began, he scraped by for two months, wanting nothing but to wait for death.

Then a group of cripples attacked him, leaving him on the brink of death. When he woke up, there was a new voice in his head:

"I am Cao Mengde. Today, I have come back to life."

From that moment on, the cowardly Xiao Lang was dead. Someone else was alive in his place: a warlord who knew how to scheme, read people, kill, and win hearts.

He recruited modern-day Dian Wei and Xu Chu, brought in Jia Xu, the poison-tongued strategist of the apocalypse, seized resources, and claimed a stronghold. With the wisdom of three thousand years ago, he carved out a bloody path through the apocalypse. His ex-girlfriend? Just the county magistrate's wife. The God-Making faction? Nothing but another Dong Zhuo.

But as time passed, Xiao Lang realized that the person in his head wasn't just a golden finger. He had regrets, vulnerabilities, and a sigh that escaped him in the dead of night.

Two failures shared one body, slowly becoming the same person in an apocalypse that made no sense.
