Stephen King Graveyard Shift

A rat, that is what I am. Well, to be exact I'm a man rat. an abomination of untold proportions, a deviant to the beauty of mother nature. Born to inhabit the dirtiest of sewers and the deepest of holes. To hide away beneath the dirt only leaving to hunt down some of the weaker prey.  That is the race I was born into. The weakest of the weak, a fetid and miserable group whose hatred for one another is only beaten by our immense dislike for Goblins. Those scummy little green trash.  But me, I am an outlier to this, an anomaly of sorts. For I was not born a brainless buffoon who can only feel hatred and hunger. I was born intelligent.

As a struggling, broke, orphaned college student, Lilly needed all the funds she could get to survive. Lilly jumped at the chance when she found an offer online to work as a grave cleaner and companion for the dead at the local cemetery that paid enough to cover one month's rent just for one night of work. However, on her first night there, she realized she might have bitten off more than she could chew. So much for being a 'companion for the dead'. The man who sat on top of the tombstone looked very much alive! And he looked very much like the person who should be buried six feet under!

In 2025, Earth is still happily unaware of most cosmic forces that occur beyond its atmosphere. That would change one day when over 50 high school seniors, on a field trip far away from home and safety, find themselves at the heart of a terrifying phenomenon. Without warning, multiversal mana pierces through dimensional barriers, causing an earth-altering event: blood-red rains fall for precisely a minute to mark the start of an unimaginable nightmare. Within minutes, any human touched by the rain begins a transformation into a mindless zombie, sowing chaos and fear. But that is not all of the horrors: insects, plants, and animals touched by the rain undergo rapid and terrifying mutations, evolving larger, stronger, and far more dangerous. With each kill these creatures make, they become stronger, raising the threat bar with each life taken. In the midst of this storm, there is a light at the end of the tunnel to restore the hope of humanity. Those who managed to kill one of those mutated creatures developed an awakening. These became known as "Awakeners"; such a person was granted powers, but most importantly, a system-a place that showed them where they were and how much further they could go in developing their abilities. A rare scroll, possibly a relic of new powers or cryptic information regarding the world's new laws, might come with each kill. The Earth then becomes a cruel battlefield where the newly Awakened have to struggle for life against an endless tide of mutants. For a group of high school seniors on a field trip, survival means fighting through fear and confronting a world where only the strong survive. A blood-red-colored rain started an apocalypse and heralded a new era when the struggle for power, survival, and evolution would be joined in the desperate fight to shape the future of mankind. 1. **Low Grade** - Green 2. **Common Grade** - Blue 3. **Uncommon Grade** - Yellow 4. **Elite Grade** - Orange 5. **Heroic Grade** - Purple 6. **Champion Grade** - Red 7. **Demon Grade** - Dark Red 8. **Angel Grade** - Light Blue 9. **Heavenly Grade** - Gold 10. **Ethereal Grade** - Silver 11. **Legendary Grade** - White 12. **Dimensional Grade** - Black

My name is Shaytan. Just Shaytan. Every morning at five, I start my day like anyone else—cereal, eggs, or toast, followed by a meticulous brushing session where I avoid any contact with the damn bogey lurking in the mirror. I have a roommate, a werewolf. We are best friends and also classmates. After school, I work as a bartender in a nearby pub, where apart from your regular humans, other creatures also get together for a drink. 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.

Oh, where do I even begin with this epic tale of the world of the four realms? Let me paint you a picture of a world beyond your wildest imagination, a world created by not just one, but Six almighty Gods, over a billion years ago! The Six Almighty Gods created Arcana, the realm of the Gods. Olympia, the realm of the Celestials, who were children of the Gods. Lyra, an empty realm. And the Abyss, the realm of the dead. Now, let's talk about Lyra, the third realm. Picture this, a vast and empty realm, devoid of any life. But then, the Six Gods didn't just leave it empty, they created not one, not two, but eight different races of lower beings to inhabit it! Can you even fathom the sheer scale of creativity and imagination it must have taken to create such diverse and fascinating creatures? We have Monsters, Demons, Elves, Giants, Humans, Dwarves, Fairies, and Beasts, all living together in Lyra. Our story focuses on Jordan, the lazy genius second prince of the mighty Wolf clan. After leaving the Underground Tower - his home for 21 years, he arrives at the Wolf clan city to take over as leader, but instead, he unites all the fifteen monster clans under him. And with that he created the most powerful empire on the continent, The Northern Empire. When other races discovered the new nation of monsters, one human kingdom decided to wage war against them, thinking they were a new and weak kingdom. This war sets off a chain reaction that triggers the Great Change - a series of events that transform the world in ways both destructive and evolutionary. But the new Empire was in no way weak. Jordan and his empire went to war on the human kingdom and three of the six demon lords.

And with that, the release of the Demon Legion, the largest and most powerful army on the continent. Now Jordan must rally not just the monsters, but all other five races: Elves, Giants, Humans, Dwarves and Fairies, together and face against the powerful demon army.
