In a tragic turn of events, Lucas becomes a victim of a failed chemical experiment, leading to his death. He then finds himself in a new world where peculiar monstrous species reign supreme, technology has reached new heights, and humanity is on the verge of extinction. Though the people are fighting the monsters, they are far from achieving victory. Driven by his will to survive, Lucas volunteers to be a test subject for Project A.E.G.I.S. - Advanced Evolutionary Genetic Intervention for Survival, an experiment to fortify humans against otherworldly threats. Contrary to the previous failed attempts, Lucas emerges unharmed. Stronger. Faster. Smarter. As the only person who can fight the invading monstrosities, Lucas becomes the ray of light in a world of despair. Until the horror intensifies and extends to other worlds, including Earth where his loved ones still reside. Monsters? Terrifying. Death? Inevitable. Blood? It never stops flowing. But giving up? That was never an option. It was just the beginning. More was yet to come. The last hope of humanity isn’t just to fight. It’s to evolve or be consumed. ----------------- A/N: Technological advancement will not be that prevalent in the initial chapters.

Lao Chen was just an old, underpaid security guard in a rundown apartment complex, living a miserable life under a stingy, ungrateful boss. His wife left him, his daughter wanted nothing to do with him, and poverty was his only constant companion. In the end, death came in the form of a drunk driver, leaving him broken and forgotten on the cold pavement. But fate wasn’t done with him. In his final moments, he prayed—desperate, pleading to any deity who would listen. And someone did. The God of Wealth and Love took pity on his wasted life and granted him a second chance. Wake up again as Zhao Yiming, a 25-year-old gambler and alcoholic drowning in debt with nothing but a good face and a strong body to his name, he was given the Affinity Money Maker System—a mysterious power that let him gain wealth and influence by forming relationships, whether as lovers, friends, or even enemies. Before he knew it, he had stumbled his way into unimaginable riches. But things never go as planned. One moment of recklessness—one affair with the wrong woman—led to an unexpected murder. Now, the system has thrown him onto a new path: The Villain Route. With a negative perk that keeps the police off his trail but tightens the noose around his future, Zhao Yiming is faced with an impossible choice. Will he claw his way to the top and become the billionaire he was meant to be? Or will his second life end behind bars, just as tragic as his first?

The story has a lot planned, but it will start slow as more of a slice of life ish thing. Don't worry about understanding everything right off the bat, it will get explained.

Anyway, hope you have a fun read, tell me if you have any questions. I reply to comments.
