It's been 25 years since the apocalypse, when the world we knew changed forever. It was then that terrible monsters appeared and some of humanity evolved to fight them. Seraphine a 18 year old citizen in Newber, was living a peaceful life with her parents, learning at the Academy, to get a nice job within the government. At least, until everything turned for the worse and she ended up as an Evolved in a destroyed city.

Betrayed and sacrificed by a shadowy cult, Alex should have died. Instead, time rewound one week, giving him a second chance. This time, he has an edge—the power to enhance any item up to a billion times. From a simple heirloom watch to legendary artifacts, his weapons defy logic. But true strength isn’t just about power—it’s about knowing when to reveal it. Staying in the shadows, Alex plays the world like a chessboard. Between ancient sects, mercenary guilds, and forgotten ruins, danger lurks everywhere. The cult that killed him is still out there. But this time… He’s the true predator.

Nobles. Hunters. Warlocks. Sorcerers. Monsters. Beasts. And Loch, an orphan with a tainted arm, is about to get a perilous crash course on how these mighty creatures weave their webs of power in a world where the supernatural goes hand in hand with science. The world of Aegis is filled with all manner of powerful beings, but these powerful beings didn't start strong; they grew, evolved, and ascended. By twisting the power of the Tainted Aether, the very lifeblood that runs through all things in the world of Aegis, humans have taken a step to rise above their original status as prey and have joined the ranks of the predators. After millennia of fortifying and no small number of sacrifices, Humans have cut a slice of the hazardous lands for themselves, with their ringed cities built on blessed soil and defended by magic and machines, each ruled over by a being so powerful they are title with the name of royalty, Monarch. Some Humans have begun to be born and die without seeing a shadow of the many monstrous existences that used to have a human or two for breakfast. It is in one of these ringed cities where an Orphan born with a common deformity due to Tainted blood is about to learn what it takes to rise above the masses and ascend to the almost mythical level of Monarch. A GRIMDARK story filled with classic sword and magic elements but also a very heavy sprinkling of guts, guns, and glory. Humans can only rise past their limits by hunting the many beasts and monsters that roam the lands of Aegis.

How far would you go to save your family? Would you take a life for them? A hundred? A thousand? How many before your conscience finally screams, "Enough"? They answered this question with [Ruination]—an unprecedented catastrophe that wiped out countless universes, all for the faintest chance to reclaim what was lost. No hesitation. No regret. Perhaps the Heavens sought to reward them for their love—or punish them for the slaughter of untold worlds. Either way, they were granted a second chance—to return to the past and reshape their fate. In a world where every lifeform’s destiny is predetermined by the Heavens, NOX and Lucas uncover a chilling truth: the purpose of life is not merely to exist, but to pursue [Transcendence]. One is destined to achieve [Transcendence], while the other—whether willing or unwilling—must assist another in achieving it. Follow NOX and Lucas, as one is fated to transcend, while the other is doomed to be forgotten by history. Can they break free from their predetermined paths? Or will they scream, “I will defy the Heavens!” like a protagonist in a Dragon Country novel? Can the Heavens tolerate such blasphemy?

Desire is the path to evolution, but it can also be the path to destruction. Odd Verity found himself crossing into a parallel world. Although his life remained unchanged, he discovered that he had traveled 1,000 years into the future. With the advancements the world had reached, a new and unprecedented power called Synchro had been discovered, along with many changes Odd had never known. Odd had no desire to live in this terrifying world, and it seemed as if all his hopes had vanished—until he discovered that he possessed a power unlike any other. The power of wishes. With the power of wishes, Odd will do anything and everything to return to his world. And little by little, he will uncover the hidden secrets of this realm. The emperors who conceal the truth, the hostile beasts that seek war, the individuals lurking in the shadows, waiting for their time, the invincible higher beings shrouded in mystery—all will bow before his power. A being capable of doing anything and everything. the monarch. ---------------------------------------------------------- join m'y wishes monarch's discord server Discord : https://discord.gg/ASu2AMRJ

Kael awakens in a dark cavern with no memory of who he is or how he got there. With only a mysterious sword at his side, he is drawn toward an ancient archway inscribed with glowing runes. As he steps forward, eerie whispers hint at a cycle that has played out before. Beyond the archway, Kael faces a shadowed figure—a warrior clad in black armor wielding a blade of pure darkness. The entity claims to know him, but Kael cannot recall their past. Forced into battle, he struggles against an enemy that seems untouchable, its form shifting like smoke. Only when he follows an instinctive pull toward the runes does he uncover the truth—his opponent is bound to the shadows, and striking at them weakens it. With this revelation, Kael triumphs, but victory comes with more questions. The trial was only the beginning. As he steps through the next archway, he knows he must uncover the truth of who he is, why he was brought here, and what fate awaits him beyond the darkness. A tale of lost memories, ancient cycles, and an impending destiny begins…

A power older than time itself—a void that devoured all, reshaping him into something far beyond mortal comprehension.

For a thousand years, he suffered in darkness, hunted by eldritch horrors and ancient beings beyond mortal comprehension. But he did not break. He did not die. He evolved.

The world has changed, yet the corruption that doomed him still festers in the heart of empires. Armed with the Shadow Sovereign’s Mantle, a power that devours fate itself, Kieran walks the path of vengeance. Monarchs, deities, and celestial forces move against him, but none understand the truth—he is no longer their pawn. He is their reckoning. In the game of gods and kings… the Forsaken Sovereign bows to none.

The people living in Light, the capital city of Saulelux Kingdom, lined the streets to cheer for the hero’s return as he rode through the streets to the castle on his horse.

The madness gas had ties to the new world. The Heroes were slaves. The world was slowly decaying... And he had to stop it. By becoming a Monarch of Nihility.
