A decade ago, the world was saved by a single warrior. The Calamity Killer—a legend who single-handedly conquered every calamity-level gate, eradicating the monstrous threats that once plagued humanity. No one knew his true identity, only that he was the strongest hunter to ever exist. Then, one day, he vanished. With his disappearance, the gates stopped appearing, and the world entered an era of peace. Hunters retired, governments stabilized, and people moved on. But they never forgot the man who had saved them all. His name remained in history—an untouchable myth. Until now. Ten years later, the Calamity Killer returns—but something is wrong. His overwhelming power is gone, leaving him a shadow of his former self. Worse, his reappearance triggers something terrifying… the gates have begun opening once more. Once a prodigy who started clearing gates at just 15, he now faces a world that still remembers him as a legend—but he is no longer the invincible warrior they once knew. Weakened but not broken, he must train relentlessly to reclaim his former glory, all while uncovering the truth: Why did he lose his power? Why are the gates returning? And this time… can he stop what’s coming?

Bro! You wouldn’t believe this! Everything was normal. Me and my bros doing some mining for mana gems for that old sockethole, Somanda like we always do all day, everyday. Me, Fractures, Bonet, Mono-socket, Broadbone and the gang. Then from nowhere, that ungrateful sockethole, Somanda tries to END me! Can you believe that?! I mean, I have told some questionable stories about him caressing my skull affectionately and deeming me his prized undead, but no need to axe a skeleton for something like that, right? RIGHT?! I managed to escape through one of the most convenient and contrived get-aways in all of undead history, even managing to pull a bony one on the Lich bastard by stealing two of his seemingly important possessions which I find out later to be better than I thought they’d be! From there it’s a just a SPIRAL of boneshit left and right! I can’t catch a break! What’s with this atrocious luck, bro?! A voice speaks to me about how I have qualified for something about a something that’s supposedly something’s something! Then I find myself in a new world that reeks of life and gives my bones a disgusted rattle. Powerful beasts and men are at every turn, all lining up to be a huge pain in my PELVIS! GAAAAH! Jeez this is happening too fast! However, even while I’m in the thick of this, the one saving grace is that I got something worth while! A new path of power! I can NOT be an undead! I can be something better than both the Living and the Dead! Immune to the antics from both sides. Well... most of them! I’m no longer on the path for Undeath! Only Lifelessness awaits me! I’m the one who transcends reality in this tale! I am... SKULLIUS! And I’m not an UNDEAD! ......

In a world where reality is fragile, where space twists and shatters at the touch of unseen forces, a lone assassin walks the edge between existence and oblivion. Known only as the Riftborn, he is neither man nor myth, he is the harbinger of silent terror, an enigma who strikes without warning and vanishes without a trace. Gifted or cursed with the ability to summon Riftborn Harbingers, spectral warriors birthed from the chaos of the Riftstorm, he is an army unto himself. Each shadow he casts can kill. Each step he takes warps the battlefield. Fear itself fuels his power, and as panic spreads, so does his dominion over space and time. But the Rift is not a tool, it is a living force, a storm that hungers. The more he wields it, the closer he inches toward losing control. When a mission goes wrong, and he is forced to summon beyond his limit, the world is thrown into a nightmare of his own making. Now, hunted by those who once sought to control him and feared by those who never saw him coming, he must walk a razor-thin path: master the Riftstorm before it consumes him, or become the very catastrophe he was trained to unleash. The storm is rising. The shadows stir. And the assassin who was never meant to be seen... is about to make his presence known.

My family is full of A-Holes! Ridiculously powerful A-Holes who have views of the world so twisted that they could literally burn all of the known world to the ground. I am the strongest of them all, yet... I'm tired of it all. That’s why I left. Being stuck with those same people for years got really bland. I needed a breath of fresh air, away from the Narcissism, Hedonism, Sadism, Masochism, and general Gotham asylum vibes that each one of them exuded like some kind of messed up perfume. Six deranged family members hanging on your back all the time gets really annoying after a while. Especially when you are just as insane as they are. Unfortunately, after five long years of bliss, I am being pulled back in. Family Drama to the rescue. A threat that can't be punched away for very long has arrived at our doorstep and I'm forced to return to help solve it.

[Warning: This book can get brutal, but don't expect action on every page. I place quite an emphasis on character design and development.] ......... You've read Apocalypse stories thousands of times, with courageous, cautious and even altruistic leads. Western, Eastern.. how about an African lead whose ability can actually get him killed?? Bernard once gambled on a chance to make his life better. To do what he actually wanted with his life despite what others wanted him to do. Though it's probably not the gamble you're thinking about... He succeeded. He got to live the life of his dreams, gave his family the support they needed and saw them thrive. That one moment gave him everything he dreamed of.. That was until the apocalypse came.... The planet quaked, the ozone was destroyed, harsh light eviscerated life on the planet..

He awakened the Innate Ability: Gamble... ......... Vital Information for Readers: I'm sure most of you won't like the main character in the beginning. But I must stress that he will develop and experience a major development in an important arc that's not too far ahead. He won't always be on the pages for the first section of the story, but he will still have a prominent role. Other characters in this world are given a fair share of time to express themselves and develop too. A lot. The first 10 chapters set up the BASIC story, but they are NOT exposition. The story will be moving...quite fast, so be prepared for less action in that time period. ....... Check out my other book 'Bro! I'm not an Undead' Cover picture is mine... only the dice are from the net and edited on PS.. credit to the...owner...
