Lucas Jones gets thrown out of an S-rank survivor base as deadweight. The moment he hits the ground, the Underworld’s Business System awakens, and he opens a restaurant at the end of the world. His ingredients are S-rank anomalies. His staff, once tamed, are the Hell Wardens, the Soul Escorts, and Brewmother herself. Climbing from lowly Underworld Worker all the way to King of Hell, he rescues a desperate survivor base with a single meal, swindles the obscenely wealthy with a single apple, and erases every past humiliation with compounding interest. He isn’t here to survive the apocalypse. He’s here to get rich off it and enjoy every bite.

The apocalypse has come, and humanity enters the Age of Sailing, where everyone awakens a fishing system. Liam Ward becomes known as a useless nobody, even by his girlfriend Quinn Johnson. He spends a month at sea catching fish just to buy her a gift—only to discover she is cheating on him with a wealthy heir, Devin Shaw. Humiliated and heartbroken, he quits the relationship. But during a voyage, he hauls up a thousand-year-old female corpse… who wakes and calls him her honey.

The zombie apocalypse breaks out, and Frank Parker dies in betrayal. Fate grants him a second chance. This time, he wakes bound to the Maid Collection System, a power that lets him recruit and form deep bonds with exceptional women who become the core of everything he builds. He assembles his people, establishes a fortified base, and takes his revenge on those who sold him out, rising from the absolute bottom toward something that looks increasingly like kingship. A lightning ability and a mech suit keep him alive in the field; genuine bonds of loyalty keep the base alive from within. As a catastrophic tide of the dead and a hidden orchestrator both close in at once, Frank leads his growing legion toward a throne over whatever world comes next.
