For My Forsaken Beloved

In a world where dungeons are worshipped as divine trials and the System is hailed as a blessing, Beno Mark knows only one truth—everything is a lie.

In a world where hunters awaken to incredible power, Azrael is the one man who never should have. His rank? F—the only one in existence. His class? Useless—an Appraiser, good for nothing but identifying loot. His strength? Weaker than a normal person who hasn’t even awakened. For two years, he’s been nothing more than a punching bag, barely scraping by as a dungeon porter. Mocked, ignored, left to bleed—everyone calls him “The World’s Weakest Hunter.” But everything changes when his team stumbles into a Double Dungeon. A sealed chamber filled with stone knights and an ancient, godlike being sitting on a throne. The arrogant hunters who mocked him? Wiped out in an instant. The so-called "strong" are now begging for their lives. And Azrael? He’s the only one who understands the rules. That day, something awakens inside him. Something even he doesn't understand. The world sees him as worthless. They have no idea what’s coming.

"You shouldn’t be alive." Kael’s voice was quiet, but the weight behind it sent a chill down Sienna’s spine. His silver eyes locked onto hers, searching—no, demanding—answers she didn’t have. She crossed her arms, lifting her chin. “And yet… here I am.” Sienna Blackwood has spent her whole life on the fringes, a ghost in her own pack. Born under the cursed Blood Moon, unable to shift, unwanted and barely tolerated. She thought she knew her place—until the night she was attacked. Until the night she should have died. But she didn’t. And now, she’s standing before Alpha Kael Voss, a man who doesn’t believe in fate, yet is staring at her like she just shattered his entire world. The High Council calls her an abomination, a threat that needs to be eliminated. Kael should agree—he’s never been one to disobey the law. Except something about Sienna doesn’t make sense. And the more he tries to ignore it, the more the truth claws its way to the surface. A prophecy was buried. A past was erased. And the moment Sienna took her first breath, the countdown to war began. She wasn’t supposed to survive. She wasn’t supposed to exist. But the forsaken always find a way to rise.
