The Safe Zones stand as humanity’s last defense, shielding their people from the horrors beyond the walls. The strongest rule—the Apex Hunters, warriors who evolve by harvesting Gene Cores from monsters.

But even their power has limits.

Jarek was born different. A Zero Awakening. No power. No future.

At least, that’s what the world believed.

Until his first kill.

Because when Jarek slays a monster, he doesn’t need a Gene Core. He doesn’t just absorb power—he takes it.

Strength. Speed. Instincts. Whatever his prey had, it becomes his.

Even Hunters aren’t exempt.

Now, monsters fear him. Hunters want him dead. And something inside him is still hungry.
