**Synopsis of *Nael Supremium: Ascension of the Immortal Soul? Or Something Far Beyond*** Nael Supremium is no hero. He is a monster, cold, calculating, and indifferent to the world around him. Born from chaos, raised in darkness, and molded by betrayal and violence, he walks a path where every step is meticulously planned, and every action is weighed against its consequence. He carries a soul so powerful that it threatens to consume him, forcing him to seal his consciousness in a desperate attempt to contain the beast within. Yet, despite the nightmare he houses, he does not let it wreak havoc on the innocent. He controls it, distances himself from relationships and conflict, seeking only to maintain balance, to remain distant and cold in a world that demands more. When a transcendental being offers every soul a chance to enter a new reality, Nael’s cold, indifferent life takes an unexpected turn. Thousands of reincarnated, transmigrated, and divine beings enter universes of cultivation and magic, each guided by their own powerful systems, all fighting for power and supremacy. Yet, Nael has no interest in their games. His only goal is to transcend his existence, to break the limits of his soul and reshape his reality. For Nael, there are no allegiances, no noble pursuits—only the calm, precise execution of every move he makes. His system, enigmatic and mysterious, rewards him when he breaks boundaries—whether physical, mental, or existential. It is not a tool for instant success, but a means of testing his limits, of pushing him toward something beyond what is even conceivable. Alongside his best friend, a cultivator with the Emotion System, Nael advances, his cold resolve unwavering. But there are things in this universe he despises: those who manipulate others through power and deceit, those who use systems like NTR and heroine conquest to feed their desires. When they dare to touch what Nael values—even if it’s only a sliver—he reacts without hesitation. Nael is not vengeful; he does not obsess over petty revenge. His anger is simple, primal. If you push him past a certain point, his wrath will consume everything in its path. In that moment, even the devil would seem like an angel by his side. His actions are swift and without mercy, his judgment as cold as the heart of the monster he carries within. In a universe where bodies, souls, and destinies span from the immortal to the primordial, where divine children, legendary treasures, and otherworldly forces battle for supremacy, Nael stands apart. He is not here for glory, not for fame, and certainly not for the adulation of the weak. His only ambition is to transcend reality itself, to break the walls of the Omniverse and rewrite the laws that govern existence. *Nael Supremium: Ascension of the Immortal Soul? Or Something Far Beyond!* is a story that will take you to the edge of darkness, where mystery, power, and redemption intertwine in a journey unlike any other. A man who is no hero, no savior, but a force of nature who moves through the world with cold calculation and ruthless precision. In a world governed by destiny and divine laws, Nael is the one who refuses to bend. His soul is his only master, and if you dare to push him too far, you will learn that even the devil’s wrath pales in comparison to what lies within him. What is stronger: the destiny that governs all, or the soul that refuses to be controlled? **Comment from the author, NaelSupremium:** *"This is not a tale of redemption or heroism. It’s the story of a man who is a monster by choice, who battles the demons within himself while keeping the world at arm's length. He doesn’t need a system to define him. His path is his own, and if you cross him, it’s your end. No mercy, no second chances—just cold, calculated vengeance."*

In a world constantly threatened by monsters and catastrophes, Kazuto was just an ordinary man living a dull, uninspired life—until he got fired from his job and lost all sense of purpose. Empty and unmotivated, his fate changed the day he crossed paths with Riku, a 15-year-old boy carrying a letter of utmost importance for his father.

Yet the very target of their kindness, the people they saved and protected, became the ones who burned them to their death.

In the small town of Ravenswood, an ancient well has long been the center of local legends, whispered to be cursed and tied to strange disappearances. For Evie Hart, the well is more than a story—it’s the last place her father, a historian obsessed with uncovering the truth behind the town’s myths, was seen before vanishing without a trace. All that remains of him is a journal filled with cryptic sketches and notes about a labyrinth said to lie beneath the earth. Years later, five estranged childhood friends—Evie, Sophie, Mark, Liam, and Claire—receive a mysterious letter calling them back to the well at midnight. The letter promises answers to the unresolved guilt, secrets, and tragedies that fractured their friendship years ago. Though reluctant, each feels compelled to reunite, drawn by their own personal struggles and the letter’s haunting allure.

Its ever-shifting halls present not only physical challenges but psychological trials that force the group to confront their darkest secrets. As they navigate its twisted passages, the friends begin to uncover the labyrinth’s horrifying truth: it was created by a man obsessed with rewriting reality, and it thrives on the very emotions that threaten to tear them apart.
