The Apocalypse System Arrived Late [Reborn]

Xie Shu, the famously world-weary campus heartthrob at Jiang University, has recently developed a strange habit: picking fights with mosquitoes.

Classmate A: The way Xie Shu just smacked that cockroach with a textbook was so cool, so brutal...

Classmate B: The way he looks at flying bugs, it's like they're the people who killed his father.

Xie Shu: Thanks for asking. I just transmigrated here. I spent three years struggling to survive in the apocalypse in my last life. In this one, I just want to be a slacker at a peaceful school.

Who knew the System would show up three years late and force me to take the job of licensed pest exterminator?

Xie Shu: ...Fine.

Everyone thinks he's gone crazy, including his rival in love, Wei Zheng.

Unable to take it anymore, Wei Zheng cornered him in the hallway. “Xie Shu, besides muttering to yourself and smacking bugs all day, what else can you do?”

Xie Shu lazily raised his eyes, about to fire back, but his gaze fixed on something behind Wei Zheng:

A shadow formed from the school's ghost stories was eyeing his boyfriend (future tense) hungrily.

Xie Shu sighed and rolled his wrists.

“I can also...” He pulled Wei Zheng aside and faced the unspeakable horror, speaking lightly. “Protect my sweet, gullible boyfriend.”

1. A slacker who gets forced into overachieving, Xie Shu, x a sunny guy with a fragile worldview, Wei Zheng. One-on-one, focused on the top. Happy ending.

2. The top is a powerful figure reborn from the apocalypse. He wants to lie flat in his daily life, but neither the System nor his future hus-band will let him.

3. The top at first: Is this guy crazy? In the middle: I think my wife really is crazy (meaning her combat power). Later: It's great that she's crazy! Come here, honey!

4. A touch of Lovecraftian horror, but mostly it's about how this couple saves each other (and the world) while snarking their way through a collapsing world.

Theme: Even in darkness, keep your heart turned toward the light.
