Bima is just an introverted, scrawny kid used to living behind a gaming screen and being a constant target for body shaming. But his life takes a drastic turn when he wakes up in a ruined city crawling with zombies. In the midst of the chaos, something even stranger than the apocalypse emerges: the "Single Survival System," which hits him with absurd missions likes maintaining an ideal BMI, getting revenge on his bullies, and landing his first kiss. Every mission isn't just a ridiculous challenge; it’s a matter of life and death.
Forced out of his comfort zone, Bima must face his dark past. He crosses paths with Donny, his former bully who is now a zombie, and Kevin, an ex-gym influencer who has transformed into a fanatical cult leader obsessed with the perfect physique and extreme protein intake. Amidst the chaos, Bima meets Lia, a tough convenience store clerk who harbors a deep-seated trauma toward food. Together, they survive nonsensical threats, ranging from zombie food vloggers obsessed with livestreaming death to grotesque mutants lurking underground.
But the madness is only the beginning. Bima’s reckless actions catch the attention of a far more dangerous entity: the Master AI Fitness Freak, an artificial intelligence that views humans as inefficient unless they meet extreme nutritional standards. With the help of Riska, an AI with cold, business-like logic that shares a secret connection to Bima’s past, the battle shifts into a clash of ideologies: perfection versus happiness.
In a world that worships muscles, protein, and ruthless efficiency, Bima fights back in an unexpected way, using Indomie as a symbol of balance, hope, and humanity.
'Zsystem' is where I found myself as the sole survivor of the apocalypse.
The system is supposed to be my mother's "in sample" antidote to cure the virus. She was a mad scientist of the base where uninfected humans habitats to survive from the outer world.
While she is burying herself with works, I decided to be the useless child and the only one she has. Isn't it amusing! Being treated as the daughter of a crazy woman who is obsessed with antidotes. Even after failing hundreds and thousands of times.
She should know my well-being but she didn't. No matter how much of a genius I am, it's worthless! I am still garbage in her eyes...! I tried so hard to make her proud but all she cares about is the antidotes and saving humanity!
She even left me under my aunt's care. Not looking back even
once...!
Well, that is what I thought before the zombies conquer the base and being forced to drink a certain red liquid which is the antidote! Alast, being thrown
into a foreign system.
________________________________________________________________________
From the useless garbage to the only human that holds the opportunity to change the world. Will Ava overcome the mission to level up and obtain the honour of saving the people she loves? Or will she abandon it and faced a wrongful death?

Author: Thank you for reading The Zombie's Leveling... And please share my story with others... To be honest it's not scary at all! This story is more to fantasy because...
I want to, so don't complain people.... I will try to update every Saturday so that I will not just do whenever I want...:O
And whoever reads this... Do support my work if you like it.
The whole world knew Lionel Potter was crazy about his wife.
He wrote songs just for her, baked desserts for her, and couldn't go three sentences without saying "my wife".
But Iris Potter discovered that the same Lionel who loved her as if his life depended on it had cheated.
She summoned the system and applied to leave the world.
[Understood. The self-exit channel has been activated. In 15 days, you will leave this world. The exit method will be a staged death. The location will be the seaside where you once saved the male lead. Cause of death: suicide by drowning.
[Please prepare accordingly for your death.]
On the 15th day, Iris arranged everything and staged her departure to look like she had gone into the sea, leaving Lionel behind.
Only then did Lionel wake up. He unraveled, nearly losing his mind, consumed by the need to find her.
Evy was a simple-minded girl. If there's work she's there.
Evy is a known workaholic. She works day and night, dedicating each of her waking hours to her jobs and making sure that she reaches the deadline.
On the day of her birthday, her body gave up and she died alone from exhaustion.
Upon receiving the chance of a new life, she was reincarnated as the daughter of the Duke of Polvaros and acquired the prose of living a comfortable life ahead of her.
Only she doesn't want that. She wants to work.
Even if it's being a maid, a hired killer, or an adventurer. She will do it.
The only thing wrong with Evy is that she has no concept of reincarnation or being isekaid. In her head, she was kidnapped to a faraway land… stranded in a place far away from Japan. So she has to learn things as she goes with as little knowledge as anyone else.
Having no sense of ever knowing that she was living in fantasy nor knowing the destruction that lies ahead in the future. Evy will do her best to live the life she wanted and surprise a couple of people on the way. Unbeknownst to her, all her actions will make a ripple. Whether they be for the better or worse.... Evy has no clue.
The author of 'Solo Leveling' is Chugong, a South Korean novelist who truly carved out a niche in the web novel community. What’s really fascinating is how he drew inspiration from various sources, especially video games and other web novels. You can sense a blending of RPG mechanics and fantasy storytelling in his work, which makes 'Solo Leveling' so engaging! It's like stepping into a world where leveling up isn't just a mechanic; it's an integral part of the narrative.
Chugong had been a webcomic artist before becoming a novelist, and I think that visual storytelling experience really shines through in the pacing and descriptions in 'Solo Leveling.' I’ve seen many readers express how they can picture each scene vividly, and that's no coincidence! He's definitely creating something special, where the idea of the underdog rising to power resonates with anyone who's ever felt overlooked. The meticulous way he develops his characters, particularly Sung Jin-Woo, makes readers root for him as he battles his way through dungeons. That relentless spirit to overcome challenges? It's both relatable and exhilarating!
So, in a way, Chugong is not just rehashing tropes; he's revolutionizing them. He’s taken the concept of the ‘weak becoming strong’ and expanded it into such a dynamic and captivating universe. It's this blend of inspiration and personal experience that really fuels his storytelling genius!
The solo leveling author, Chugong, has certainly left a huge mark on the world of manhwa with 'Solo Leveling.' I was thrilled with its blend of action, adventure, and that fantastic power progression. It's like watching a classic RPG come to life! After such a massive hit, fans naturally wonder what his next move will be. There have been whispers about potential new works that might either explore similar themes of leveling up but in different settings or perhaps even a fresh narrative entirely.
Chugong teased the idea of 'Demon King' and has confirmed he’s working on a new series that was supposed to launch soon but didn't have a clear title or a lot of details. Fans of 'Solo Leveling' are certainly hopeful this next venture will carry that same thrilling energy. I imagine, just like us, he’s also excited about delivering more amazing content! The anticipation surrounding new projects adds so much buzz in the community, making it feel alive.
It's great to see creators evolving and pushing boundaries. New stories in similar genres could help set a new benchmark for storytelling, and with Chugong's established talent, it’s going to be something special. I can't wait to see what he creates next!
