On January 31st, 2026, at exactly 4:00 PM, the world ended.
Millions of people vanished in the blink of an eye. The sun dimmed to a dying glow. And the gates of Hell opened.
Left behind in the chaos, Chris watched his neighbor torn apart by a creature that should not exist. With no gods left to answer prayers and no laws remaining, only one rule matters now: kill or be killed.
To protect what little family he has left, Chris makes a forbidden choice — he consumes the flesh of the demons he slays. With every bite, he grows stronger, darker, and more deadly. But power always comes at a price.
As ice spears rain from the sky and ancient demons hunt him across a crumbling city.
In a world where mercy is extinct and salvation is no longer an option, one man will do anything — even become a demon himself — to keep his family alive.
4:00 PM
Some were taken.
He was left behind.
And the real nightmare is only just beginning.

Chapter: Grade 4s
The night air grew heavy as we split into two groups near the old Three Arms Zone. Red ritual lights pulsed from the Presidential Villa like infected veins. My blade hummed, its dark flames casting shifting shadows on my team's faces.Jubi, Prestige, Praise, and two others stayed with me. The rest — Debby, Dora, and Williams — would circle around to attack the outer ritual anchors. Dora squeezed my arm before leaving, her eyes fierce even with her limp."Don't you dare become one of them," she whispered."I'll try," I replied. The hunger laughed inside my chest.(Earlier while coming, we encountered a few people who were on the same mission as us.)We moved toward the Villa on foot, staying close to ruined pillars and overturned armored vehicles. The streets here were worse — paved with melted bone and glass. Every step crunched like walking on old graves. Skin-wearers patrolled in packs, but they scattered when they sensed us. They weren't the real danger.The real danger waited at t

Chapter: He calls To Me
The convoy slipped into the fractured outskirts of Abuja like ghosts entering a tomb. The red glow wasn't just light anymore—it pulsed like a living heart, casting long shadows that twisted into shapes better left unseen. Abandoned luxury cars sat half-melted on the expressway, their owners' bones picked clean and arranged in careful circles on the tarmac. The air tasted of copper and frankincense.Jubi killed the engine behind a collapsed flyover. "We walk from here, brother. Vehicles are too loud now."I nodded, gripping the hilt of my blade tighter. The dark flames licked along the edge, responding to my mood. The new strength from the Grade 3 hearts still buzzed in my blood, but with it came fragments—whispers of loyalty, flashes of ritual chambers deep beneath the city, and something worse: the Herald's face, smiling with too many teeth.Prestige checked her rifle. "The old woman said vessels. You think the Herald wants your body specifically?""Probably," I muttered. "Flame-bear

Chapter: Crowning
The convoy rolled forward under a bruised sky, the red glow of Abuja growing sharper with every kilometer. Dust and bone fragments swirled in our wake like restless spirits. Jubi kept humming an old Fuji tune, his voice low and rough. It helped cut through the heavy silence. Every few minutes, he glanced my way, checking if the hunger was rising again. I appreciated it more than I could say."Eyes on the road, brother," I muttered, forcing a half-smile. "Last thing we need is you driving us into a ditch while singing off-key."He chuckled. "Fuji got us through worse. Remember that time in Surulere when the power went out for three days and we danced through the night just to stay awake?"I nodded. Those memories felt like they belonged to another life — before the Rapture tore everything apart, before the lower-grade demons started wearing children's faces and the stronger ones began stealing human skin. Before I started eating demon hearts to survive.From the back, Prestige spoke u

Chapter: The Blade And The Heart
The convoy pushed deeper into the night. The ruined highway stretched out like a scarred vein beneath our tires. In the distance, Abuja's glow pulsed on the horizon — ugly red veins of light threading through the broken city outline, like something alive and breathing under the skin of the capital. It made my stomach twist.Kane's words echoed in my head with every heartbeat: circles drawn across the nation, hundreds sacrificed, kings being born from blood and ancient chants. The power he had given me — or rather, stolen — burned hotter in my veins the closer we got. It felt as if the power could smell the ritual smoke ahead.I've eaten a few demons, including the bastard at the military base, none threatened to break me, like kane's power is doing right now.I shifted uncomfortably in the passenger seat, trying to ignore how tight my bones felt under my skin. Jubi glanced over at me, his face half-lit by the dashboard lights. Sweat beaded on his forehead despite the cool night air co

Chapter: No One Left Behind
The convoy rumbled out of the compound gates as the sun bled low across the horizon, painting the ruined skyline in deep oranges and purples—colors too beautiful for a world this broken. I kept my eyes on the rearview mirror until the high walls disappeared behind overgrown bushes, that brief sanctuary fading like a half-remembered dream. For one day and night, we had enjoyed roofs that didn't leak blood, food that didn't come from a can opened in panic, and sleep that wasn't stolen in shifts. Now the road called us back, hungry as the things stalking it.Jubi drove with his injured arm stiff in the sling, but his good hand gripped the wheel steady. The armored car bounced over cracked asphalt and fallen branches, every jolt sending fresh aches through my healing ribs. Kane's power still churned inside me—warm, insistent, whispering strength but also stirring that deeper hunger. I could feel my muscles twitching sometimes, as if they wanted to tear through my skin and become someth

Chapter: The Gardener's Oath
The first light of dawn crept through the cracked windows like a thief, pale and hesitant, painting the dusty bedroom in shades of gray.I hadn't slept more than an hour or two. My body was too wired from Kane's power, and my mind kept replaying his final whisper about being a gardener in Heaven. That shit gnawed at me. What if some of these demons truly weren't monsters by choice? And here I was, ripping out their hearts and swallowing them like street food.My hands flexed on the hilt of my blade, still resting across my chest. The dark flames had cooled to embers, but the hunger... it was louder now. Deeper. Like something inside me was waking up and demanding more.Down the hall, I heard movement. Jubi's low groan as he shifted on his mattress. Dora murmuring something to Prosper. The soft pad of bare feet on tile—Prestige, probably checking on everyone like she always did. Family. Broken, bleeding, but still holding on in this godforsaken world.I pushed myself up, ribs aching bu

Chapter: POWERLESS
"Are you alright, Lira?" Lumiho asked softly, his gaze lingering on her furious eyes that burned with barely contained murderous intent.Lira’s lips trembled as she whispered, “He killed… our teacher and Senior Yang.” Her voice was low, yet sharp as a blade, her glare fixed intensely on the Naija youth walking ahead of them. The rushing wind whipped violently against their skin, carrying the weight of their grief and helplessness. “I feel like I want to kill him,” she admitted, glancing briefly at Lumiho. Her words were raw and genuine. Then her eyes dropped to her tightly clenched fists. “But then… I feel so powerless before his overwhelming strength. And the worst part is, I can’t help but feel indebted to him for saving our lives.”Lumiho let out a deep, weary sigh that seemed to carry the burden of the entire world.“I feel your pain too, Lira,” he said gently, reaching out to hold her right hand as they continued following behind the group. His fingers intertwined with hers, offe

Chapter: AN OFFER WITHOUT CHOICE
"What happened to the Star Sovereign?" Lumiho asked. His fists remained tightly clenched at his sides, while his sharp eyes stayed fixed on the distant battlefield."That happens to be the end of the story," Lira replied, glancing at him briefly before turning her gaze back toward the horizon. "Though the Demon God could not be killed, he was ultimately sealed away within the darkest realm of the forgotten." She narrated the tale with a solemn tone, her voice carrying the weight of ancient legends."Mmmm!" Lumiho murmured, his expression darkening as he gazed up at the blood-red sky. "The home of the lost gods... Only a fool would dare venture there." He cursed under his breath, the words laced with both awe and frustration.*Kaboooom!**Damn!

Chapter: WHERE A GOD FELL
"You killed our brother, you bastard!" The Heavenly Emperor stepped forward, his voice thundering across the vast battlefield like the roar of a thousand storms. His right hand pointed accusingly toward the towering figure of the Demon True God, eyes blazing with righteous fury and unquenchable grief.A loud, mocking laughter escaped the Demon God's mouth, echoing ominously across the blood-soaked plains."You call yourselves brothers," the Demon God sneered, his voice dripping with contempt, "yet none of you could respond in time to save your little half-immortal sibling." Lava continuously poured from his massive crimson body, his ten eyes narrowing into menacing slits while his four enormous horns cast long, terrifying shadows over the chaos. The air around him shimmered with unbearable heat."His death will not be in vain," the Heavenly Emperor declared solemnly, "because you are dying here today, King of Hell." As he spoke, the space in front of him tore open with a violent rif

Chapter: HELL'S ONSLAUGHT
A Million Years Ago: The Fall of Unity.A million years ago, the world existed as one harmonious realm—an unparalleled utopia where peace, love, and mutual respect flourished as naturally as the cycles of the sun and moon. All realms stood united in unbreakable alliance: the mortal Earth below, the radiant Heavens above, and the sacred Haven of the Gods. In this golden age, conflict was but a distant memory, and prosperity touched every corner of existence. Ruling over this vast, interconnected world were three Sovereign brothers, bound by blood and an ancient vow. They were the Heavenly Emperor, the Earthly Immortal, and the Star Sovereign. Though the gulf in their cultivation bases was immense—each brother having walked vastly different paths of power—they remained true to their promise. Together, they forged a single, unified world, bridging the divides between realms and ensuring harmony for all beings beneath their watchful gaze.Yet, as is the eternal truth of existence, where

Chapter: A PROPHECY RECALLED
Everyone watched with rapt attention, their eyes refusing to miss even a single moment of the cataclysmic event unfolding before them. The air was thick with tension as they barely dared to breathe.They stared in stunned silence as beast after beast plummeted from the sky, falling to the earth without the slightest resistance. One colossal monster after another crashed down, their massive bodies shaking the ground upon impact. The once-pristine soil was swiftly drenched in a gruesome river of red, black, and shimmering silver blood. With every new corpse that landed, the metallic stench in the atmosphere grew heavier and more overpowering, clinging to the nostrils of every witness.Back within the protected trial environment, Mo-hi hovered serenely above the ground, legs crossed in meditation. A broad, genuine smile lit up his face, reaching all the way to his eyes as he observed the one-sided slaughter."He's killing every single one of them like mere insects," someone whispered in
