A light flashed, his ears went deaf, his mind blank, and everything was gone, everything he had worked for, simply ripped apart, his family, his life, his sister, all destroyed, never to be recovered. Yet, he doesn't even know who did it, he has no idea. Still, he loses even his very own race, his species, his wings, he loses his mind, he fractures many times over, and he is trapped. Cades Kirgun does not know who did it, he does not know how they did it, and he does not care, he hates all that live, all that are okay, whether he acknowledges it himself or not, he does not care about anyone else, not anymore, or at least he won't very soon. The great explorer, the silver kurakkan, the crusader king, the old man, the child of being, the greater pillars, legends unknown, stories to be told or forgotten, whatever might benefit. Yet, throughout this story many truths became obvious to Cades who had lost everything, the first, no being is born equal to another, the second, better to sharpen the blade instead of fighting with a dull one. Follow the journey unrestrained by morals, by sanity, follow the mind of someone who can't begin to follow their own traces anymore, follow the minds of a being fractured beyond recognition, follow the dead boy as he reclaims a twisted live he never wished for.

Kenji Tanaka is the new transfer student at Seiryu High, a school ruled by fists and fear. With his average looks and quiet demeanor, everyone dismisses him as another sheep for the slaughter. They see a loser. A nobody. A twig that will snap under the iron boot of the school's hierarchy. They are wrong. Raised in brutal, solitary isolation in the mountains by a mysterious grandfather, Kenji's 'training' was a hellish regimen of survival. He doesn't understand society, girls, or why people flinch when he cracks his knuckles. He also doesn't understand that his 'normal' strength is enough to shatter bone, his 'basic' endurance can outlast a beast, and his very presence carries an aura that makes apex predators tremble. He believes he is weak, a novice who has barely scratched the surface of his grandfather's teachings. But when the wolves of Seiryu High come for the innocent girl in the desk next to him, they don't awaken a sheep. They awaken a monster. A god of combat. A King. This is not a story of a hero. This is the story of a Thug, his rise to absolute power, and the loyal followers and adoring women who are drawn to his terrifying, untamed might. In a world of delinquents, gangsters, and underground fighters, there is only one rule: Don't mess with the quiet kid. Because this King's fists don't know mercy.

The world changed in a single moment. A scream. A bite. And the merciless death of someone irreplaceable. What began as an ordinary workday spiraled into a nightmare drenched in blood and betrayal—where trusted friends turned into ravenous monsters, and the living were devoured without mercy. Paralyzed by grief, hopelessness took root. But even in despair, a message broke through the darkness—a message from long-estranged family, igniting a spark in a heart that had nearly given up. Regret. Guilt. A desperate yearning for reconciliation. There was now something to live for. Something to protect. A reason to fight. But just as hope flickered, a grotesque abomination emerged—an unnatural creature reeking of rot and death, far worse than any zombie seen before. With death closing in, salvation arrived in the form of a being not of this world—an angelic figure offering a second chance and a mysterious system unlike any other: one that grants power, but demands everything. Three paths appeared—each one a weapon in the war to come. An infinite arsenal. A fortress of might. The fury of close-range combat. With every level gained, the world itself evolves. Allies rise. Monsters mutate. And the mystery behind the outbreak—and the system's true origin—grows ever darker. This isn’t just a fight for survival. It’s a reckoning. Because power always comes at a price. And in a world devoured by the undead… The price may be everything.

My name is Shay. Just Shay. Every morning at five, I kick off my day like anyone else—cereal, eggs, or toast. Then comes the routine brushing session where I make it a point to avoid eye contact with the damn bogey in the mirror. Typical, right? I’ve got a roommate—a werewolf. We’re best friends and classmates, tackling school like it’s any normal day. After classes, I head to my job as a bartender at a nearby pub. It’s a cozy spot, where apart from your regular humans, other creatures also get together for a drink. Yep, vampires and shapeshifters have their pint nights too. Aside from these quirks, my life was relatively normal — until everything turned upside down. The peacefulness of the night seems to be over, the Fifth King is preparing for war — perhaps for world domination —, and common sense has evaporated somewhere along the way. Life was pretty standard, aside from the supernatural quirks, until it wasn’t. The peace of the night shattered, the Fifth King is gearing up for war—or maybe world domination—and somewhere along the way, logic took a vacation. Now, here I am, smack in the middle of this glorious mess, trying to figure out how I went from a normal guy to being tangled in what feels like the prelude to a world-ending saga.

Known as the fearsome ruler of the Veil of Eternity, Netharis, Valdris was once the terror at the top of the 9,999th floor, a being that no player or creature could defeat.
