Apocalypse: From Slave to Martial Saint

[Apocalyptic mutated creatures + extreme martial arts + bodily ascension vs. supernatural evolution + ruthless killing]

Wu Yan wakes up in a slave pen. The first thing he sees is a supernatural ability user clutching his pant leg and begging to die, with two mutating zombies nearby.

He promptly puts the man out of his misery, and a “Martial Power” panel appears in his mind.

From then on, the apocalypse sees the rise of a butcher who has no supernatural abilities but can carve out his own path through sheer physical power.

Every kill makes him stronger.

The disgusting, bloodthirsty zombies? Kill them! The ultimate mutated creatures transformed by Cthulhu? Kill them!

Whether it's mutated creatures or hordes of zombies, he cuts down anything that gets in his way.

After Wu Yan's body undergoes several transformations, he discovers that his blood can evolve the supernatural pets he raises.

…

Years later, Wu Yan lies on the beach, soaking up the sun, with his own private haven in the apocalypse behind him.

(Status-panel story, no System missions, with a cool-headed protagonist.)

(He grows stronger in the early stages, and his faction naturally forms in the middle and later stages.)
