Apocalypse: That’s It? I Haven’t Even Tried Yet

Red mist blanketed the earth. Monsters ran rampant, and civilization collapsed. The apocalypse came, and humanity huddled in the cracks between the ruins, struggling to survive by the skin of its teeth. Ren Xu, a hunter from the lowest rung of society, hunted for survival on the edge of life and death. Everyone thought he would die quietly on some hunt. Yet time and again, he fought his way out of impossible situations, unlocking layer after layer of genetic restraints and setting foot on the path to transcendence. No one knew that the red-mist disaster was no accident. When divine beings deep within the rifts of the void slowly awakened, and the ancient will of the Godfall Lands sought to devour every living thing on Earth, Ren Xu finally understood: at the end of the genetic path lay an unknown realm humanity had never set foot in. The whole world was in peril, and all life hung in the balance. In the end, the apocalypse would be brought to a close by the sword in his hand. (Reader advisory: This is a gritty, realistic apocalypse novel with no System and no overpowered cheat abilities. The pacing is grounded and brutal. Readers who prefer lighthearted, invincible-protagonist stories may want to steer clear. Fans of ordinary-people stories, progression fantasy, and sword cultivators are welcome.)
