In a world teetering on the edge of oblivion, the sky once whispered peace—until it shattered. When the unknown stirs, and silence carries the weight of forgotten cries, fate begins to move. A child not born of this time... A kingdom lost before its story could begin... And a darkness that watches, waiting for hope to breathe. This is not a tale of heroes.

( story is slow with huge build ups , so don’t expect some fast pase rise to power but full with action and cliffhangers ,starting 12 chapters are small) “He who dreams of reaching for the stars must first conquer the earth beneath his feet.” In a world where power rules all and the weak are mere stepping stones, one boy dares to dream beyond the limits of fate. Born into a declining noble house in the distant countryside, Nerion Ophirein has known only hardship — battling hardships, expectations, and the crushing weight of destiny. Yet in his heart burns an unyielding fire: a hope that refuses to be extinguished. In a land of monsters, ancient dungeons, and towering citadels of magic, strength alone determines survival. Soul Cards and System class— manifestations of one’s potential — hold the keys to domination. Those with talent ascend as Lords, Dukes, and Kings. Those without are forgotten. Today, Nerion stands at a crossroads. With his school years ending and his soul awakening imminent, he faces a single truth: succeed and carve a path to greatness… or be cast aside as another forgotten name. In a game where the rules favor only the strong, Nerion will forge his own — through will, through power, through ambition. Some will rise through might. Others through cunning. But he? He will claim it all — body, soul, and crown. Will he become a beacon of hope for a broken world… Or a conqueror who leaves only ashes in his wake? From hope… to conquest — this is the beginning of an emperor’s road.

This planet is home not only to humans but also to countless other races: beasts, elves, vampires, dwarves, and many more. Beyond these sentient beings, there are animals that have undergone mutations—creatures known as monsters or mutants. When these monsters are killed, they vanish without a trace, leaving behind no bodies, no corpses, and no lingering scent. This mysterious world is called Cronos . At the heart of this tale is a young man named Lucferre Caelum , who dreams of bringing peace to Cronos—a world where monsters no longer terrorize humanity, where people can travel freely without fear, and where life unfolds in harmony. Unlike most, Lucferre possesses an extraordinary ability: he can see the dark mist enveloping the monsters. However, when he tries to share this truth, no one believes him—not even his childhood friend, who outright denies his claims. By the age of sixteen, Lucferre had already joined the military. By twenty-three, he rose to become a first-class squadron leader—an elite soldier with the rank of Major. His journey takes a dramatic turn when he is tasked with escorting the Prime Minister to the city of Nubesturrim . What was supposed to be a simple mission quickly spirals into disaster when a colossal dragon-like creature appears, throwing everything into chaos. Lucferre loses consciousness during the ordeal and awakens in a wooden hut deep within an uncharted forest. It is here that Lucferre learns the horrifying truth: all of this destruction is the work of Demons . Determined to restore balance, he resolves to eliminate the Demons plaguing various regions, weakening their influence before confronting the strongest Demon of them all. Along the way, Lucferre meets new allies who reignite his hope, proving that his dream of peace is no longer just a distant fantasy. “I will help you,” one ally declares. “I will stand by your side until the end of our days.” Throughout his journey, Lucferre receives guidance from Goddesses and Angels alike. Even his childhood friend joins him as a trusted comrade, shouting, “Count me in—I’m fighting alongside you!” There is also someone who has waited for him for centuries: “Since the day you were born, I have been by your side. From afar, I watched you grow day by day, week by week, year by year… until the moment you fell from the skies…” But Lucferre’s path is far from easy. As he battles the forces of darkness, he faces betrayal from unexpected quarters. A false deity accuses the real Goddesses, sneering, “She is nothing but a Demon, just like the man standing before you. Why risk your lives for her? Kill her before it’s too late.” When Lucferre demands to know who this voice belongs to, it answers with chilling pride: “…I am God.” Among the challenges Lucferre must face is a monstrous foe he encounters early in his journey—a creature so powerful that he knows he will have to confront it again in the future. Betrayal cuts deep, shaking Lucferre to his core. “…Why did you succumb to the darkness?” he cries out. “Why didn’t you fight back before it was too late?” Yet, despite the betrayals and hardships, Lucferre refuses to give up. He presses forward, driven by his unwavering determination to achieve his dream. The future, once foreseen by the Goddesses, has now become unpredictable. Lucferre must forge his own path, guided by his instincts and the prophecy that whispers of what he might accomplish if he succeeds. His ultimate goal remains unchanged: to create a peaceful world, free from the shadow of Demons.
