Dark Monarch: Apocalypse World
"Dark Monarch: Apocalypse World" — Tearing Apart the Cage of the Apocalypse, A Blood-Soaked Epic of a Cold-Blooded King
"I don't want to die—I want to live."
This is the cry of the protagonist, Dudian, and the struggle of millions of survivors in the apocalypse.
Within the Great Walls, humanity rots. After 300 years in ice, the king returns.
A meteor catastrophe ended the old civilization, forcing survivors to cower behind towering metal walls. A deadly virus ravages the land, monsters roam freely, and the twisted webs of power and faith strangle what remains of human morality. Dudian awakens from cryogenic sleep to face this ruined world—where humans hunt demonic beasts to gain "Mark of the Abyss" powers, where nobles and the Holy Church manipulate a hollow order, and where, beyond the walls, the undead and the schemes of the Dark Church silently spread.
From genius to demon, every step he takes is drenched in blood.
Once an ordinary man from the old world, Dudian is forged into a ruthless overlord through betrayal and despair. His first love dies imprisoned, framed for crimes she didn’t commit. His closest friend sells him out for profit. The woman he cherishes turns into a walking corpse, and he is powerless to save her... In the cracks between warring factions, he masters alchemy to forge weapons, tears apart lies with cunning, and carves his rebellion with an iron will—vowing to shatter the Great Walls and end this man-made doomsday experiment.
