Centuries ago, a mysterious energy called "Mana" revolutionized society, but it led humans to face an unprecedented crisis: the "Great Fall". After centuries of intensive use of mana, flora and fauna mutated, becoming more powerful and intelligent. Confronted with this threat, humanity takes refuge in the bastions, the 21 fortresses, to survive. Humans also begin to mutate, developing greater physical and intellectual abilities, as well as special powers called "systems" and "stigmata". However, a scientist warns of an even more devastating imminent threat: insects, organized and cruel, will mutate in turn. To counter this imminent threat, humans begin to study the beasts and learn to cultivate Mana like them. Mana exercises are created to accelerate this process and copy some of the characteristics, but changing exercises is difficult and risky. As the world struggles for survival, Rin, a semi-awakened with the power to perceive everything around him, finds himself at the heart of this turmoil, determined to find his place in a world in chaos and to protect those he loves from the surrounding dangers. ***************************************** Participate in WSA 2024

In a world shattered by a catastrophic zombie virus outbreak, most of humanity has succumbed, turning into soulless, ravenous creatures. However, Kirishima Seijiro, a seemingly ordinary boy, was transformed into something far more terrifying. The virus granted him, super speed, super strength, high durability, the power to manipulate his body into weapons of destruction, regenerate from any wound, and absorb the abilities and memories of those he consumes. Seijiro’s transformation brought him to the attention of the "Ten Deadly Things," a fearsome group consisting of humans, zombie variants, and evolution beasts who have ascended to unimaginable power due to the virus or their own unnatural origins. Each member is a living catastrophe in their own right. Yet, none are as ruthless or determined as Seijiro. He doesn’t merely seek survival—he aims to eradicate the last remnants of humanity, believing that they are the true infection. As he rises through the ranks of the Ten Deadly Things, his ambitions threaten the entire world. With power-hungry monsters, and humanity’s final defenders all vying for control, Kirishima Seijiro stands at the center of the apocalypse. His journey will either lead to the complete annihilation of the human race or a reckoning for those who dare to play god in a broken world. This is the tale of how a boy became the deadliest of the Deadly Things—and the harbinger of humanity's extinction.

I'm not the greatest author, but I plan to consistently update this project, even if I have to write significantly slower than what you typically find on this platform. (My apologies!) Below, you will find some key notes that might be nice to see before becoming invested. PACE: 1 ch/week For now, I plan to write roughly 1 chapter / week. However, this might change in the future as I acclimate to writing more frequently. (Or if this story randomly becomes very successful.) MONEY: At least first 50 ch FREE I know I just mentioned this story becoming "successful", which typically entails paying the author and bla bla bla. BUT! I like the idea of this just being my story with no hooks or lines for a while. I plan to make the greater first chunk of the story free. TRENDS: ~~Overpowered~~ Honestly, I hate the concept of things being "overpowered". It reminds me of the first time I hacked my favorite childhood videogame. (It sucked the fun out of it completely.) That being said, I want this story to involve genuine challenges that take effort or risk to overcome. GENRE: Action, Mystery I would like this story to focus primarily around Action and Mystery. There might be some mild things tossed into the fray like comedy and romance, but don't expect anything too raunchy. DISCORD: -not yet implemented- I may eventually start a discord for this story. It could make a good library for supporting lore or artwork, as well as a place for people to discuss their theories or leave feedback. For now, this discord doesn't yet exist, but I will update you here when/if that changes. OTHER STORIES: Paused A few of you may have known me from my previous stories. I know, you may be pretty bummed that I haven't updated either in a really long time. There were some pretty hefty flaws in those stories that I kind of beat myself up over. (I actually formed this story while trying to restructure the surface world for 'Reincarnated as a Haunted Machine'.) For now, this will be my only work, as the world I live in has become rather complicated in recent years. Perhaps at some point, I will return to my other works, but for the foreseeable future, this story will be my one true love.
