Ever pondered what chaos would ensue if Guts from Berserk stumbled into a "Slice of Life" anime? Or if Solo Leveling unfolded in a medieval landscape, complete with knights and courtly intrigue? How about the most divine irony: God reincarnated as a lowly slave? Welcome to a novel born from the depths of my most twisted and outrageous imaginings. It's a journey that spares no punches and offers little comfort to the faint-hearted or easily offended. But hey, if you're here for the ride, buckle up. To set expectations: I am not the literary offspring of J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter) or Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes). This tale may be somewhat unrefined, sprinkled with typos and moments of grammatical rebellion. Yet, what it lacks in polished finesse, it delivers in unrestrained absurdity and wild, unpredictable fun.

In a world split by the Light and the Abyss, Kaidan was destined to be ordinary. Born a human in the borderlands, he knew only struggle and survival, caught between the distant ideals of the Bright Races and the brooding might of the Outer Races. While the powerful ones boasted of "peace," Kaidan saw only lies—a fragile truce masking deep-seated corruption and oppression. The Apexers ruled through control and order, the Abyssals by fear and chaos, and the world remained in a silent, unbreakable stalemate. But one fateful night changes everything. Cornered in a life-or-death battle he has no hope of winning, Kaidan’s will ignites, fracturing the limits of his reality. Instead of falling into darkness, he awakens with something no one should possess: the power of both the Apexers and the Abyssals. Now armed with abilities beyond comprehension, Kaidan is bound by a single promise: to destroy the false peace and expose the lies the powerful use to control the realms. Yet, as he journeys through the Bright Realms, the Outer Zones, and even the hidden realms beyond, Kaidan learns that his power comes with a cost. Relics, Sigils, and Nexus Chains both strengthen and strain him, threatening to unravel his body and mind. Worse still, each step he takes closer to his goal attracts the attention of forces far stronger—and far more ancient—than even he could imagine. With friends and foes from all races, Kaidan faces the ultimate test of willpower, risking everything to forge his own path. In a world where unity is a myth and rebellion is a death sentence, Kaidan will fight to make his mark, challenging both Heaven and Hell alike. In a land of fractured realms and twisted loyalties, can one boy truly change the fate of the universe? Or will the shadows of the past consume him before he ever sees the dawn? Join Kaidan in Apex Abyssal, where power is a burden, loyalty is a choice, and rebellion is the only way to find the truth.

After the betrayal of Luciferel, and having to deal with the Nephilim problem God made a few changes to how Heaven was run. Time does not quite flow the same in Heaven, so God was able to draw inspiration from millennia of human history. In the end, God chooses to structure things like a mega-corporation with him as the CEO and his archangels acting as department heads. To keep the threat of another angel rebellion to a minimum, every few years the angels would be ordered to change departments. To ensure that things ran smoothly and that the communication between departments happened in a timely fashion a Heaven-wide internet was established called Godnet. Due to an accident caused by mistaken identity, John Smith was killed by an angel on her first day in the Department of Death. By the time she released her mistake, it was far too late to "just" put him back in his own body. In an effort to correct her mistake the angel tried to have John Smith be reborn in the universe she originally was supposed to have a John Smith die in. The Angel was originally in IT for Godnet so she thought that it would be not too difficult to hide her little oops by altering a few records. However, she got a call from Upper Management during the process of having John be reborn. Figuring the " proper" department would step in to finish the process, the angel left to report to upper management, not wanting to receive an even bigger punishment than what she was already going to receive. In her rush to leave, she forgot to close down the connection to Godnet.

Chemical weapons and biological diseases unleashed in the conflict have destroyed nations and decimated entire populations. In this dark landscape, the small country of Columbia, caught between these superpowers, suffers the worst consequences: its inhabitants, mutated by the bacteriological warfare, now possess superhuman abilities.
