The 16-year-old would never dare say a word to him, and would still be sighing in secret if it weren't for her friend's crazy idea. By a strange coincidence, a notebook with a story about Selena and Felix lands in his backpack, and this heralds the beginning of their dangerous relationship.

Oliver and the rest of his classmates were chosen by the system and thrust into a chaotic world where everyone would transform into nascent gods. Alongside countless indigenous deities of this primal realm, they would fight, kill, and grow. This was the dawn of the universe, the birthplace of all myths, an era before the creator god Aether had even begun to mold the world. The sky, the sea, the land, ordinary life? None of it existed yet. Zeus, Odin, Eve—all the gods you’ve ever heard of—were still infants, or not even born. But this place was far from safe. Aether’s act of creation, the twilight of the gods, the war between Titans and dragons—these cataclysms would claim the lives of ninety-nine percent of all deities. Oliver and his peers had no intention of being part of that doomed majority. To survive, they had to become stronger! While the other students received starting items graded merely A or B, Oliver—thanks to a glitch in the system—obtained an SSS-tier artifact: The Book of the Chaos Era! With it, he would devour everything, ascend to unimaginable heights, and forge his own destiny. His legend would begin with countless transformations, yet through them all, his presence would remain unshakable. Some would come to call him the world-creating serpent—his eyes opening to summon day, closing to usher in night. At the end of the world, those who glimpsed him would revere him as the serpent that encircles the universe—Jörmungandr. From the depths of hell, others would gaze upon him and name him Satan. He was the spark that ignited the Golden Dynasty, a terror to mortals and gods alike, a herald of chaos, and the harbinger of eternity.

Beings of unfathomable hunger, remnants of dying realms, now stalk the ruins, each vying to claim this world as their own. Kael remembers the night the boundaries shattered.

As they travel, they uncover fragments of the truth: the realms’ overlap was no accident. Someone—or something—orchestrated it, and the key to severing the convergence lies in the very ritual that haunts Kael’s dreams. But with every step, the boundaries weaken.

The skies had not always been so dark. The winds had not always howled with such ferocity, nor had the land known the curse of endless war. Yet on the day Varek was born, the heavens tore open as though they sought to swallow the world in flames. A tempest unlike any seen in centuries ravaged the land—a fury of lightning, rain, and earth-shattering winds, heralding the arrival of something... something that the old gods themselves feared. In the time before his birth, the seers had whispered of it, their eyes clouded with dread. The Chosen One—the Stormborn—would come, they said, carrying a blade forged in fire, one that would either bring salvation or doom. It was written in the stars, and no power in the world could change that. The prophecy spoke of the one who would stand against the tide of darkness and the coming of the Raven King, but the price of this power would be great. And so it was that when Varek was born, the winds howled, and the earth trembled, for the mark of ruin had been sealed upon him. The world wept that night, for no child should ever bear such a burden. Yet Varek did not weep. He knew not the weight of the world at that moment. But in the days that followed, the cost of his existence would become clear. The wolves of the north took him in after his mother’s death—a woman who had given her life to bring him into the world. His father—once a powerful warlord—was slain by those who had sworn to protect him. And so Varek was left to the wilderness, where the wolves raised him. They did not care for prophecy, fate, or the gods. They cared only for survival. Varek grew up wild, untamed, bound to the land, the forests, and the creatures who roamed them. His white hair—a mark of his birthright—stood out against the shadows of the wilderness, the color of frost and storm. He learned to hunt, to fight, and to survive in the harshest of conditions. But all the while, something inside him grew, something ancient and restless. The blade of his destiny, forged in the stars, had already begun to take shape. And it would not be denied.

"Not the hero the world hoped for, but the villain it never saw coming." Humanity is at war with the Dowolf Beasts, a relentless race that nearly wiped out civilization.

In the vast expanse of legends, there exists a singular figure known as Azeris, revered as the progenitor of the Infinity Dragon Bloodline. This remarkable lineage bestows upon him god-like powers, enabling him to manipulate the very essence of reality itself—creating and destroying with a mere thought, limited only by the bounds of his imagination. However, before he could fully harness the extraordinary potential of his abilities, sinister forces conspired to thwart him. The Omniversal Sovereign Court—a fearsome assembly of ancient cosmic entities; The Abyssal Void Order, masters of darkness and treachery; and The Tribunal of Fate, those who manipulated the very threads of destiny—all converged upon him with deadly intent, seeking to extinguish his light. In a desperate moment where death clung to him like a shroud, Azeris summoned his ingenuity and willed forth a sanctuary—a small yet powerful realm brimming with boundless resources and enchanted wonders. This haven emerged as a beacon of hope amidst the encroaching chaos, a place where the essence of his power could endure and grow. Fifteen years slipped by in an instant, leaving the outside world to forget the once-mighty Infinity Dragon Progenitor. His legacy, once heralded across galaxies, faded to mere whispers carried along by the winds of time. Yet, the pulse of his bloodline remained, an ancient force lying dormant, waiting for the right moment and the right spark to awaken its formidable power once again. That moment arrived with the birth of a young boy named Azeris Nightshade. Unbeknownst to him, he bore the weight of an extraordinary inheritance, the hidden truth of his lineage bubbling within him like a dormant volcano eager to erupt. This marked only the beginning of his saga—an epic adventure awaited him as the threads of fate began to weave a new destiny.

Prophecy gives herald to Hyacinth, who will purge. Hyacinth, who will cleanse. Hyacinth, who will bring Calamity. Several hundred years ago, on her seventeenth birthday, that prophesy was fulfilled, leaving the world a barren wasteland. Its population decimated and its surface cracked and marred, it has become a world of survival and savagery, pitting man against nature, and man against itself.

In the frostbitten north, whispers drift on the wind—of a masked wanderer with a fox-like grin, twin blades flashing like winter lightning, carving a path toward an unspoken crown.

In a realm where snow buries the past and storms herald the future, their paths are destined to cross—but for glory, vengeance, or something darker still? The wind knows, but it keeps its silence.

Synopsis: "Catastrophe of the Martial World" In a world where strength dictates fate, Fang Qi is a man who should not exist. A prisoner awaiting execution, his past is a bloodstained enigma—whispers of massacres with no clear pattern, no apparent motive. To some, he is a madman. To others, a monster. Yet as he steps toward his supposed end, he remains unfazed, as if he has seen this all before. Because he has. Fang Qi is not merely a man; he is a remnant of something far older, something lost to time. Fragments of countless lives stir within him—memories tangled between reality and illusion. With each death, a new beginning. With each beginning, a piece of a grand, unfathomable puzzle. When fate intervenes and he awakens amidst a battlefield drenched in carnage, he is given a new identity in a world ruled by sects, immortals, and ancient conspiracies. But his presence is a ripple in an ocean of prophecy—a force that should never have returned. As he pieces together the truth of his existence, he begins to realize: the world itself may not survive the answer. In a realm where destiny is shackled by the strong, can a man who has already died carve his own path? Or is he merely playing a role written by something far beyond his understanding? The catastrophe has begun. And Fang Qi may just be its herald.
