MTL - After Crossing, I Marked the Empress - Chapter 175 clean up rivals

Jin was a 19-year-old teenager who had been haunted by the same dream for ten years—a dream that carried a single message: “Destroy the final chapter.”When he finally did, his soul was pulled into the body of a servant named Lin, inside the Shoujo Multiverse—a world made up of five distinct realms:1- The Magic World2- The Hunter World3- The Celestial World (based on ancient civilizations like Ancient Egypt, Norse mythology, and more)4- Murim5- The Immortal WorldNow, these worlds are beginning to merge, and chaos is inevitable.Discord:(“Shoujo” here means that everyone has their own past and personal goal.)

Inescapable fate ends here. Only Gilded Ashes remain.[FREE 50 CHAPTERS BEFORE LOCK]When shadows devour his home, Raizen is left with nothing but grief - and a vow to hunt down and kill every Nyx. At his side stands Hikari, a mysterious girl with no past but a dark fate she cannot escape.From the ashes of loss to The Underworks, to the halls of Neoshima's Lotus Academy - assassins, wardens, hidden enemies, unexpected traitors and all sorts of rivals will test them at every step. Secrets stir, powers awaken, and the line between hope and despair blurs, making them wonder what being “human” truly means. As the darkness spreads, one truth remains:The real battle has only just begun.

In less than an instant the world as we knew it was at its end.

That’s right. The Apocalypse. In a single blink Zombies appeared and mutated monsters began to rampage all throughout the world. Now it was the human species turn to fight for survival and planetary dominance!

On the same day that the world descends into chaos we meet Yue Zhong. Initially only hoping to get to his friends and escape to a refugee camp our protagonist sets out, inadvertently building a team along the way. After a series of fortuitous events and a few serious hunches our hero decides it’s time to do more than just survive!

Yue Zhong begins to form the foundations of an enormous survival plan… before he suddenly discovers that he has only gotten over the first hurdle…. Unbeknownst to Yue Zhong and company, the world outside of China is mostly a wasteland! Country sized swathes of nuclear radiation and an extreme shortage of supplies in the world after the nuclear explosions was quickly becoming the “norm”. Mutants, Evolved animals and what’s worse, intelligent out of control dinosaurs had quickly appeared and claimed their own sections of the planet. There were several innately powerful Evolved races which appeared that were more than 10 times stronger than humans, nearly all of them possessing bodies impenetrable by normal bullets. The fabled orcs’ were another of these Evolved races, the leader of which had in fact enslaved many of the remaining human beings.

Unceremoniously exposed to such a cold and heartless new world, Yue Zhong is faced with a choice: Find a deep dark hole and hope it goes back to “normal”? Or overcome all obstacles and struggle towards Evolution!!!
