Kai’s life was small—coffee-stained mornings, cracked recipes, and a system in his head that tweaked toasters and dough like it was nothing. Then the sky shattered. Aliens—Skraiths, jagged and brutal—invaded, tearing his city apart with green-glowing weapons and relentless claws. Superhumans rose to fight back, fire and lightning blazing through the chaos, but Kai’s world crumbled with them. Hiding in his apartment, Kai stumbles on blood—human and alien, smeared on his wall after a superhuman battle. His system, once just a tinker’s tool, awakens, offering him a choice: mimic their powers, temporary and wild, through the blood itself. Desperate, he takes it—stealing pyrokinesis, then electrokinesis, then kinetic energy, each power burning through him, fading fast. But it’s not enough. Armed with a humming Skraith weapon and a body tougher from alien blood, Kai joins a ragtag crew of enhanced fighters—Liv, Rylan, Jace, and Tucker—scraping to survive in a warzone where every shadow hides death. As Skraiths swarm and the city burns, Kai’s system pushes him deeper, analyzing, integrating, crafting minor enhancements—durability, strength, sparks of power that could make him a target or a savior. Government factions, rogue scientists, and the aliens themselves start sniffing around, drawn to his strange tech and blood-stolen abilities. By the time Kai crafts his first super-powered enhancement—an artificial strength boost—he’s no longer just a tinkerer. He’s on the edge of something bigger, something dangerous, where blood and sparks could forge a hero—or break him entirely. In a world unraveling, Kai’s fight for survival becomes a desperate race to master his system, outrun the Skraiths, and confront the truth: the power he’s chasing might destroy him—or remake the world.

'Hell is empty and all the devils are here.' -- Williams Shakespeare --- "Should I dip my hands in holy water so I can touch you?" His breath fanned her neck as he spoke close to her ear, causing an anxious shiver to run down her spine. Her eyes widened before narrowing slightly. "You are crazy." She whispered back with a shaking voice. "Why?" He asked, awed. His eyes now staring at her. "Because you would get burned." --- Opposites attract. That’s what everyone says, but light and darkness are two very contrasting entities. Annabelle is the perfect definition of pure and innocent, while on the other hand, Kione is the opposite of that—dark and a devil with an angelic appearance. Too forbidden to be a perfect match.

Laurent bukanlah pahlawan. Dia bukan seseorang yang akan mengulurkan tangan untuk menolong tanpa alasan. Hidup dalam bayang-bayang tragedi masa kecilnya, ia tumbuh dengan luka yang tidak pernah sembuh-dendam yang terus membara. Kehilangan kedua orang tuanya di tangan Elric, sahabat yang berkhianat, meninggalkan luka yang lebih dalam dari sekadar kematian. Namun, hidupnya berubah lebih buruk ketika kekuatan gelap yang tak terkendali mulai mengalir dalam dirinya. Kekuatan yang melukai, menghancurkan, bahkan membunuh tanpa ia sadari. Kekuatan yang membuatnya lebih berbahaya dari siapa pun yang pernah ia benci. Mencari jawaban, Laurent melangkah ke dunia yang lebih kelam dari yang ia bayangkan. Rahasia darahnya, warisan ras kuno, dan konspirasi yang lebih besar dari balas dendamnya sendiri mulai terungkap. Namun, dunia tidak menawarkan pilihan yang mudah. Mereka ingin menggunakannya-sebagai senjata, sebagai alat, sebagai kunci yang dapat mengubah segalanya. Tapi Laurent tidak akan membiarkan dirinya dikendalikan. Ketika bayangan masa lalu dan kekuatan kegelapan terus menelannya, ia harus memilih: tunduk pada takdir yang dipaksakan padanya atau menghancurkan segala sesuatu yang menghalanginya, termasuk batasan moral yang pernah ia pegang. Dalam dunia di mana tidak ada yang benar-benar baik atau jahat, Laurent akan berjalan di jalannya sendiri-dengan atau tanpa darah yang tertumpah di tangannya.
