Before he transmigrated into a book, Zhang Qingmiao bragged in the novel's comments section: "If the author has never eaten human flesh, they shouldn't write about what zombies taste like." Right after he clicked Like, he was dragged into this 2.3-star novel, Apocalypse.
The irony was that he had become the sexually voracious villain who was tortured to death by the protagonists. Meanwhile, the heroine who was supposed to be entangled with him in the original story was next door, and was male.
The gay-circle dreamboat who had transmigrated into the body of an apocalypse-era womanizer was now even more certain he'd been handed a hell-level survival story.
As the real young master whose life had been stolen, Zhang Qingmiao was supposed to take revenge on Pei Yan, the commander's adopted son, just as he did in the original story.
But when he saw his grandfather hunched over as he prepared medicine, and the cheap bandages on his younger brother Qi Zhou, he silently ripped up the revenge script and stuffed it into the furnace.
To help support the family, Zhang Qingmiao steeled himself and became a mercenary.
One brush with death after another made him grow rapidly in strength, until he reached the peak through a chance encounter.
At night, he wore a mask to hunt zombies and mutants, then sold their crystal cores and materials for money. He only meant to improve their lives, but accidentally became famous, earning the name "Achilles."
"Taking a job: S-rank extermination mission."
The ID "Achilles" quietly came online in the dead of night.
The mask hid the scars at the corners of his eyes, but couldn't conceal his stifled groans when his violent powers tore open his wounds.
When strange, unusually pure crystal cores began circulating on the black market, rumors spread through the entire safe zone: that grim reaper who only accepted cash and had no interest in pretty people always asked before taking a job, "Can I get paid in special medicine instead?"
Until, during a nest-clearing operation, an electromagnetic storm blew his mask away.
Pei Yan gripped his bloodied wrist. The silver eagle insignia on his uniform pressed into his flesh. "Achilles... Your heartbeat sounds better than you begging for mercy."
Even more devastating, the male supporting characters who were supposed to be infatuated with Qi Zhou all turned their guns on him.
The arrogant Beast King brought him a crystal core as a betrothal gift. A mad scientist blocked his door with a genetic compatibility report. Even the young ability user he'd personally saved declared from the city wall, "Either let me join this family, or I'll jump right now."
Surrounded, Zhang Qingmiao tore open his bloodstained shirt. "Take a good look. I've got a pacemaker in here. There's no room for all of you!"
