A single, towering city rises from a vast, lifeless wasteland—a remnant of an ancient war that shattered the world. The Spire is surrounded by a powerful storm barrier, keeping the horrors outside at bay. It is said that beyond the storm, the land is overrun by Wraithborn—once-humans mutated into relentless, armored behemoths that feed on the energy of the living. The city's elite defenders, known as the Stormguard, wear specialized gauntlets that allow them to channel the energy of the storm itself, generating electrical blades and explosive force to combat the Wraithborn. Their training is brutal, as only those who can withstand the gauntlet’s power without being consumed by it survive. When a young Stormguard recruit uncovers an ancient map hinting at a second, hidden city beyond the storm, everything they thought they knew about their world is thrown into question. Are they truly the last survivors? Or has the Spire’s ruling council been keeping a terrible secret for generations?

While others follow clear trajectories, Evan must forge his own path, relying on intelligence, strategy, and an unyielding drive to master his core's untapped potential. With slow progression, a focus on power-building, alliances forged under pressure, and intricate magical systems, this high-magic tale chronicles Evan’s relentless journey from obscurity to ultimate domination.

The Safe Zones stand as humanity’s last defense, shielding their people from the horrors beyond the walls. The strongest rule—the Apex Hunters, warriors who evolve by harvesting Gene Cores from monsters. But even their power has limits. Jarek was born different. A Zero Awakening. No power. No future. At least, that’s what the world believed. Until his first kill. Because when Jarek slays a monster, he doesn’t need a Gene Core. He doesn’t just absorb power—he takes it. Strength. Speed. Instincts. Whatever his prey had, it becomes his. Even Hunters aren’t exempt. Now, monsters fear him. Hunters want him dead. And something inside him is still hungry.

From the neon-drenched underworld to the Institute’s ivory towers, Elias confronts rogue time travelers, paradox-born monsters, and his own fractured memories. Every step closer to the Chrono Core warps reality further, forcing Elias to question what—or who—is truly real.

Bruce is an aspiring comedian, and in more ways than one, he was struggling. His recent performances left the audience in an awkward silence he couldn't break. The only hobby Bruce enjoyed doing during his time of leisure was diving into the bottomless pit of depression called the internet, and reading online novels. Though he loves reading great stories, the other thing that hooked him was the stream of dopamine he gets from online battles. It's the kind of fighting where participants don't need to be strong or even know how to throw a punch, rather, meaningless victory goes to those with the foulest mouth and thickest skin. Both of which was the perfect definition of Bruce. He is one of those people who has a sad and empty existence. Lonesome and unhappy, Bruce finds the feeling of not being alone and joy in pointless arguments online. He's the kind of Bruce that can't throw a one-inch punch but could take one in any shape or form. After giving a bad review on a new popular online cultivation novel and getting the author's attention, Bruce's day became weird. One thing led to another, and before the day ended, he died. When he woke up, he found himself in the body of a young master in a different world. _________________________ A/N: This story is satirical and not for the easily offended. If you are one, please steer away. Though the cover isn't a big-breasted anime girl, allow this note to tell you that this work does include mature themes. Thank you.
