The World Beyond the Rift
He won. The war was over. The Demon King was dead.
But so was everything else.
In a world where strength dictates fate, humanity clings to survival on a single supercontinent, the last bastion against the horrors of the Rift Cataclysm. The ten great nations, ruled by noble families and the government, control all access to power. For an Awakened, independence is nearly impossible—without backing, they are destined to be weak.
The Hunter Academy, a government-funded institution, claims to train future warriors, but in reality, it serves as a battlefield where potential Awakened are scouted, controlled, or eliminated before they can challenge the established order.
Adam, a man unlike any other, enters this world of power struggles. He is neither a pawn nor a willing participant in the noble families' games. With a past shrouded in mystery and strength beyond comprehension, he walks his own path—calm, methodical, and unstoppable.
As secrets unravel and enemies rise, Adam will show the world that true power cannot be chained.
