Thousands of years ago humanity faced the worst nuclear war ever in history, which resulted in tragic genetic changes in the future generations which eventually divided the world’s population into two major categories named the Nobles and Needies. Both appeared to be normal humans in appearance, but Nobles became the rulers, having main power over all essential matters of the world including banking, media, entertainment, military, ways of communications and other political, social, cultural and financial matters, while the Needies were just the ordinary workers in factories and mansions owned by Nobles. Not only that, Nobles were engaged in barbaric yet apparently royal traditions of hunting and torturing the Needies, more specifically on their Saturday’s parties to satisfy both their unfulfilled hunger and to pay tribute and thankfulness to the God for creating them superiors. In such brutal reality, there rises a rebellious child named Keith Janes who, despite being among the Nobles, takes the most eminent stand against their barbarism and other sadistic desires with the use of his higher IQ than others.

[Mature Content +18] Hi everyone. If you are bored, I invite you to the amazing adventure of a young man Ramiel, who was betrayed by his comrades (I know, very original.) At first, it may seem boring and full of well-known patterns, but trust me, I have many cool ideas for the future. On a lighter note, it is worth mentioning that this is an R-18 novel with a lot of this kind of stuff. Cultural people will certainly understand. The real story begins after the first few chapters and will consist of the management and development of the dungeon. You won't find a system here that will hand the main character everything on a golden platter. If you think that women will be useless here, you are sorely mistaken. Each of them will be a huge help to the main character and not just an unnecessary addition. I forgot to add that: this is my first novel. ~~~~~~ Don't be scared off by the voluminous first chapters. They are so long because I rewrote them. ~~~~~~ Check reviews before you read. I explained a lot of things there. ~~~~~~ 20 power stones = one extra chapter 50 power stones = two extra chapters 20 golden tickets = one extra chapter 50 golden tickets = two extra chapters I publish additional chapters on Sundays. By Sunday, I mean Sunday in my time zone (seven hours difference from the time of resetting the stones on the site).
