Max-Level Comprehension: I Create Magic in the Apocalypse

On January 1, 2027, the apocalypse descended.

Monsters, zombies, mutants, and terrifying creatures appeared across the world.

As civilization collapsed, humanity awakened supernatural abilities and became Evolvers, gaining strength by hunting monsters and absorbing their cores.

Ethan Smith had already experienced this nightmare once.

He watched his family struggle to survive. He watched the strong rule over the weak. He fought desperately for survival until, eventually, he died.

But when he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the past—

One month before the apocalypse.

This time, Ethan had two things he never possessed before.

Max-Level Comprehension.

And 10,000× Feedback.

With Max-Level Comprehension, he could rapidly understand, deduce, and create.

With 10,000× Feedback, everything he taught could return its improvements and discoveries to him ten thousand times over.

At first, Ethan planned to use his knowledge of the future to protect himself and his family.

But then he discovered the true secret behind the Evolvers’ powers.

The mysterious energy appearing with the apocalypse could be controlled.

It could be studied.

It could be developed.

So while the world prepared to become Evolvers, Ethan began creating something completely different.

Magic.

From mana circulation and meditation to spells, runes, magical artifacts, rituals, and eventually the manipulation of laws themselves, Ethan would build an entirely new path of power from nothing.

And his family would become his first students.

When one student mastered a spell—

10,000× Feedback.

When another improved his technique—

10,000× Feedback.

When someone discovered something Ethan Smith had never imagined—

10,000× Feedback.

The more people learned his magic, the faster Ethan advanced.

What began as one man’s preparation for the apocalypse would eventually become the birth of an entirely new civilization.

But Earth was only the beginning.

Ancient magical creatures would awaken.

Forgotten gods would return.

Otherworldly civilizations would descend.

And they would soon discover something impossible:

Humanity had created its own path to magic.

At its center stood Ethan Smith—

The Founder of Magic.
