Kyle Damien

Derek Carter never asked for a System, an apocalypse, or the pressure of being humanity’s so-called "last hope." He was just trying to survive the daily struggles of being an orphan in Paleview City—dodging bullies, scraping together meals, and lying his way into school. Life was already hard enough. Then, one day, a blue screen pops into his vision: [Warning: The world is doomed. Try not to die.] Yeah, great. Just what he needed—cryptic doomsday messages and no instruction manual. Now, monsters are creeping into the city, reality is unraveling, and Damien’s "legendary" starting stats are barely above zero. The System promises him power, but there's just one tiny problem—he’s never won a fight in his life. Armed with sarcasm, questionable decision-making skills, and the sheer refusal to die, Damien is about to embark on the worst (and possibly last) adventure of his life. Because if the world really is ending… he’s at least going to make it someone else’s problem first. After all, heroes are overrated—survivors get to tell the story.

Kyle never asked to be a hero. He never sought glory, power, or the burden of fate. Yet, when a cryptic email lured him into another world—a realm where banished gods, ruthless demons, and forgotten creatures warred for dominance—he was left with no choice but to fight. The Land is ancient, ruled by forces beyond mortal comprehension. Every action carries weight, and every choice shapes the future. Marked by a system unlike any before him, Kyle discovers a terrifying ability: the power to absorb strength from his fallen foes. With each battle, his body grows stronger, his instincts sharper, but the line between man and monster begins to blur. As factions rise against him and beasts of legend hunt his every step, Kyle must navigate a brutal world where alliances are fragile, enemies are relentless, and survival is never guaranteed. The strong rule, the weak perish, and the path to power is paved with blood. But strength alone will not be enough. If Kyle is to carve a kingdom from the bones of his foes, he must master his abilities, forge unbreakable bonds, and challenge the very foundations of The Land itself. Yet with every victory, the whispers grow louder. The Land watches. The gods remember. And some destinies were never meant to be written. Can Kyle survive long enough to claim his place as Warlord, or will he become just another forgotten soul lost to the chaos of The Land?

When 18-year-old Kyle Conner arrives at his aunt's for a summer holiday, he expects relaxation and freedom. Instead, his life is forever altered when he crosses paths with Lilith, the demon of lust and second-most powerful entity in the underworld. Forced into a dark pact, Kyle is transformed into a demon and gifted with a mysterious system that promises immense power. But this newfound strength comes with a deadly price: Kyle must hide his true nature and navigate the treacherous world of demons, all while being hunted by Lucifer and other malevolent forces. As Kyle struggles to control his newfound powers and unravel the secrets of the system, he discovers his ultimate goal: to overthrow Lucifer and bring about a new era of peace. But with the forces of darkness closing in, Kyle must confront the darkness within himself and make impossible choices to survive. Will Kyle be able to master his demonic powers, outwit his enemies, and fulfill his destiny? Or will the weight of his newfound responsibilities consume him, dooming humanity to eternal darkness?
