    This is a post-apocalyptic superpower novel with no system, no bullet comments, and neither rebirth nor transmigration. Aside from a superpower that allows the user to level up by absorbing the life force of enemies, there's nothing else. The price of leveling up is the complete lack of ranged attacks; the only option is close combat, trading injury for life. It's a completely native-level leveling-up story. Most importantly, it features a single female lead. Besides her, any woman who comes along, no matter how beautiful, will have her head smashed—literally. As for the specific chapter, it's Chapter 58 of Volume 1.
