MARKED BY DRACONIC OVERLORD
*Drakoria* after a catastrophic war was pushed to the brink of ruin. The Era of Magic ended. Humanity rebuilt with technology, and the old world faded into legend. Then mana returned. But it came back wrong. Beasts evolved. Monsters emerged. Rifts tore through the skies, unleashing horrors that modern weapons couldn't stop. Humanity faced extinction. Until people began awakening powers beyond mortal limits. They became known as Awakeners.
*Kael Arden* had spent his life waiting for his Awakening. When the crystal finally judged him, it declared his talent the weakest possible rank. F-rank. The world laughed. His future seemed ruined. But the crystal was wrong.
When a catastrophic Rift Break throws *Black Ridge City* into chaos, Kael throws himself into the fight to protect the people he loves. At the edge of death, something buried deep in his blood finally wakes up. An SSS-rank Talent. A Draconic Overlord bloodline. A connection to an ancient existence that has slept for millennia.
Now, guided by the mysterious *Draven*, Kael must master the power inside him and uncover the truth behind his bloodline, the ancient war, and the real reason mana returned. Because the return of mana was not an accident. And whatever caused the ancient catastrophe may not be finished with Drakoria yet.
The world once called Kael Arden trash.
Soon, they will call him the Draconic Overlord.

Chapter: Chapter 11: The Day They Left
Five days later.Nova Airport, Sector E Landing Field.Countless teenagers filled the massive landing field, each carrying luggage and wearing the excitement and nervousness of someone about to begin a completely different life.Today was departure day.Across the airport, families gathered around their children, offering final advice, hugs, and words of encouragement before they left for their respective academies.Some parents struggled to hold back their tears. Younger siblings clung tightly to their older brothers and sisters, refusing to let go.For many of these teenagers, this was the first time they would be leaving home for an extended period.It was the beginning of their lives as Awakeners.And for some of them, it was the beginning of something far greater than they could imagine."It hurts watching you go."Elisa sniffled as she wrapped both arms tightly around Kael's waist."I'm not leaving forever. We'll still see each other," Kael said, gently patting her head."But th

Chapter: Chapter 10: Before We Part
Two days later.The streets of the neighborhood were busier than usual as Kael and Darius walked side by side toward the center of the district.Glow-lamps lined both sides of the road, casting a warm light over the sidewalks. Shops and restaurants filled the buildings on either side, while holographic advertisements floated above the streets, changing every few seconds.People moved in every direction, some returning from work, others shopping or enjoying the evening.It was an ordinary evening.Yet somehow, Kael couldn't shake the feeling that things were about to change."So, where exactly are we going?" Kael asked.Darius smiled."Mr. Sam's place. A few of the guys wanted to have one last meal together before we all leave."Kael looked at him."One last meal?""Yeah."Darius shoved his hands into his pockets."We're all leaving for different academies soon. We don't know when we'll get another chance to sit together like this."Kael was quiet for a moment.Then he smiled."Ah. So

Chapter: Chapter 9: The First Lesson
Draven looked down at Kael, who was still on his knees, struggling against the invisible pressure that seemed to weigh down his entire body.Every muscle in Kael's body was tense.His arms trembled as he tried to push himself back up, but no matter how much strength he used, the pressure refused to budge.Draven watched him with an amused expression."You've got quite a bit of stubbornness in you."Kael glared at him through clenched teeth."Is that supposed to be a compliment?""Not particularly."Draven chuckled before finally flicking one of his tiny claws upward.The crushing pressure disappeared instantly.Kael collapsed face-first onto the floor."Ugh!"He rolled onto his back, breathing heavily as though he had just surfaced from deep water.He stared at the ceiling for a few seconds before turning his head toward Draven."Were you trying to kill me?"Draven hovered above him with an innocent expression."That was barely a warm-up. Next time, I won't go easy on you."Despite hi

Chapter: Chapter 8 “The Draconic Legacy”
The Draconic God Emperor slowly raised one massive claw toward Kael.Kael immediately became cautious.After everything he had just learned, he had no idea what the ancient dragon intended to do next. The Emperor's enormous golden eyes remained fixed on him, carrying a strange mixture of amusement and expectation."Get ready, little one," the Emperor said. "This might hurt a little."Kael's expression changed."That doesn't sound reassuring."Before he could ask anything else, golden energy began gathering around the Emperor's raised claw.The energy was unlike anything Kael had ever felt before. It was dense, ancient, and powerful enough to make the entire void tremble. Golden particles gathered around the dragon's claw, spinning faster and faster until they formed a concentrated sphere of light.Kael swallowed hard."Wait. What exactly are you—""Receiving my inheritance."The Emperor's voice was calm.Kael's eyes widened."Could you at least explain what you're going to do first?"

Chapter: Chapter 7: Ancient Being: Draconic God Emperor
Kael couldn't stop thinking about the strange words Nessa had said before he left the hospital. "If the heavens allow it, I'd be willing to become yours." Even now, remembering those words made his face feel warm. He turned on his bed and stared at the ceiling. "What was she even thinking?" A small smile appeared on his face as he remembered how Mira had immediately dragged Nessa out of the room before she could say anything else. Darius's teasing voice also came back to him. "Bro, congratulations. You just landed yourself a free wife." "That idiot..." Kael shook his head. The whole situation had been embarrassing, but the memory still made him smile. However, the smile soon disappeared as his thoughts returned to everything that had happened over the past few days. He had nearly died in the rift. He had watched people around him get killed, awakened a power he didn't understand, and transformed into something he could barely explain. Most importantly, he had met an ancient be

Chapter: Chapter 7: The Ancient Divine seal
The royal banquet had finally come to an end.One by one, the nobles, knights, ministers, and other important guests left the Imperial Palace. The grand hall, which had been filled with music, laughter, and lively conversations only moments ago, slowly became quiet.The sounds of the celebration faded into the distance, leaving the palace in silence.Outside, the night stretched across the sky.A bright full moon hung above the palace, its soft silver light shining over the snow-covered rooftops and frozen gardens. A cold breeze moved through the courtyards, carrying the crisp scent of Eternal Winter as it passed through the ancient trees.Sleep refused to come.Kael slowly climbed out of bed, careful not to make a sound. He crossed the room and stepped onto the balcony attached to his chamber.Placing both hands on the smooth stone railing, he looked across the vast palace grounds.Everything was quiet.Too quiet.His golden eyes moved toward the countless stars scattered across the n

The Manaless King Of Sigma
The Manaless King of Sigma
In 2100, humanity embraced Omega, a revolutionary VR game that promised endless entertainment. But Omega was never just a game. Created by an incomprehensible power, it was a tutorial preparing Earth for integration into the greater universe.
When the tutorial ended, the First Awakening transformed reality. Mana flooded Earth, monsters emerged, and humanity entered Sigma—a universal battlefield ruled by the mysterious Universal Queen.
Compared to civilizations that had cultivated their powers for millions of years, humanity was hopelessly weak.
Mateo Álvarez was once humanity’s greatest Omega player. Then a catastrophic accident destroyed his mana veins, robbing him of his ability to cultivate. His glory vanished, leaving him a powerless outcast.
Ten years later, Mateo died trying to save his beloved nephew and niece.
But death wasn't the end.
He awoke on the day before the First Awakening, carrying ten years of future knowledge. He knew the treasures waiting to be claimed, the enemies destined to rise, and the disasters that would shatter humanity.
This time, he would be ready.
Yet his second chance came with a mystery. Something strange had awakened within him—a remnant connected to the boundary between Omega and Sigma, capable of revealing secrets even the system couldn't explain.
As Mateo rebuilds his strength, the future begins to change. Hidden forces stir, and the Universal Queen takes notice of the man who should have remained powerless.
Why was Earth chosen? What lies beyond Sigma's tutorial? And why does Mateo's second life seem connected to a secret that predates humanity's Awakening?
Armed with knowledge of a future that no longer exists, Mateo must rise beyond his former limits.
Because this time, he isn't fighting merely to survive.
He's fighting to rewrite humanity's destiny.

Chapter: Chapter 11: When the System Lost Control
The ground shook again before Mateo reached the barricade.A crack raced across the road behind him, splitting the asphalt with a sound like breaking glass. Blue light spilled through the opening, illuminating the abandoned cars and the frightened faces of people gathering near the shelter entrance.“Keep moving!” Mateo shouted. “Nobody approaches the road!”The maintenance technician stumbled over a broken curb. Lucía caught his shoulder and helped him regain his balance.Behind them, the damaged shop groaned.Its front window shattered completely, scattering glass across the pavement. Something moved inside, fast enough that Mateo caught only a dark shape crossing the room.Then the clicking began again.Three short sounds.A pause.Three more.The same pattern they had heard beneath the transit station.Mateo forced himself to look away. The connection message still burned in his memory.CONNECTION ESTABLISHED.He had no idea what it meant, but one thing was clear: whatever was hap

Chapter: Chapter 10: The Signal That Followed Him
Mateo had barely reached the shelter entrance when the pressure in his chest returned.It was not painful this time. It felt more like a finger pressing against a bruise, gentle but persistent, reminding him that something inside him had changed.He stopped walking.Lucía nearly bumped into his back.“Please tell me you haven't decided to investigate another mysterious phenomenon without warning me.”“I haven't.”“Then why did you stop?”“Because it's happening again.”She immediately took out her sensor.The device emitted three short clicks, paused, then produced another three.Lucía frowned at the display.“That's the same interval we recorded beneath the station.”“Can you identify the direction?”“Not yet. Give me a moment.”She moved the sensor slowly from side to side. The clicks grew faster when she faced the eastern road, then slowed when she turned toward the sports center.Mateo followed the movement.The signal was strongest toward the transit station.That was where they

Chapter: Chapter 9: The Price of an Unanswered Signal
The first thing Mateo noticed when he returned to the shelter was the smell.Sweat, dust, disinfectant, and the sharp scent of food being cooked over a portable gas stove filled the underground parking structure. People moved between parked cars carrying boxes, bottles, blankets, and makeshift weapons. Some looked exhausted. Others spoke in low voices, trying to convince themselves that the strange blue sky outside was only a temporary disaster.None of them knew how much the world had already changed.Mateo paused at the entrance.In his previous life, this shelter had been abandoned within three days. A group of armed survivors had taken control of the supplies, forcing everyone else to leave. Many of those who went outside never returned.He had remembered the event as inevitable.Now he understood that it had only been one possible outcome.“Mateo!”Gabriel hurried toward him, carrying a clipboard almost as large as his chest. His expression changed when he saw the dust covering M

Chapter: Chapter 8: The Creatures at the Eastern Gate
By the time Mateo and Lucía emerged from the maintenance entrance, the morning had grown warmer, but the atmosphere around the transit station had become more dangerous.Three armored creatures prowled near the overturned delivery truck. Their dark shells reflected the blue light hanging over the city, and their narrow heads moved constantly as they searched for prey. The fourth remained trapped behind the lowered service gate, scraping its claws against the metal.Beyond them, several volunteers had gathered behind a line of abandoned vehicles. Marcos stood at the front, gripping a heavy wrench. Beside him, the maintenance technician was trying to convince two frightened men to help reinforce the barricade.A woman suddenly shouted from the road.“It's coming this way!”One of the creatures had left the truck. It moved toward the barricade, its claws clicking against the pavement.Marcos raised his wrench.“Hold your positions!” he ordered. “Nobody runs unless I say so!”The creature

Chapter: Chapter 7: The Signal Beneath the City
The darkness swallowed everything.Mateo froze with one hand against the wall, listening to the silence beneath the transit station. The lights had gone out without a sound, but the vibration that followed still lingered in his bones.Beside him, Lucía switched on her phone’s flashlight.Nothing happened.She tapped the screen twice, held down the power button, and tried again. The display remained black.“Please tell me you expected that,” she whispered.“I didn’t.”“Good. I’d hate to discover that you have a habit of walking into underground tunnels that shut down every electronic device nearby.”A faint smile crossed Mateo’s face, but it disappeared when the symbol on the wall began to glow.Three silver rings surrounded a dark center. The light pulsed slowly, as if something behind the wall were breathing.His chest tightened.He had seen that symbol before. First on the night he died, in the memories of a future that should no longer exist. Then in the strange visions that had fo

The gate dropped halfway before grinding to a halt.The technician swore."It's jammed again!"The creature was almost upon them.Mateo's vision flashed.Blue lines appeared beneath the creature's armor. For an instant, he saw the same bright irregularity near its shoulder that he had noticed on the Stalker.Then pain stabbed behind his eyes.The lines disappeared.Mateo stumbled against the wall."Mateo!" Lucía caught his arm."I'm fine. Get everyone back!"The creature lunged through the narrowing gap beneath the gate.Marcos stepped forward and swung his wrench.The blow struck the creature's armored head and bounced off.The impact nearly pulled Marcos off balance.The creature snapped at him.He barely managed to retreat."That didn't work!" Marcos shouted."No kidding!" the technician replied.Mateo looked at the half-lowered gate.If they could force it down, the creature would be trapped on the other side. But the mechanism was jammed, and the technician could not reach the co

Chapter: Chapter Seven: The Family Structure
By the time Darius returned to the manor, the sun had already begun to disappear behind the trees.His clothes were soaked with sweat, and every muscle in his body ached.He had spent the entire afternoon training.The manor appeared through the trees as he approached. It was large enough to belong to a noble family, but compared to the other estates owned by House Veyne, it looked almost deserted.Darius had been given the manor when he turned twelve.That was the age when direct descendants of House Veyne were expected to awaken their abilities.For most children of the family, receiving a personal residence at that age was a sign that they were stepping into adulthood.For Darius, it had been different.He had failed to awaken.Without an awakened ability, he had no value in the eyes of most members of the family. His parents were already dead, his inheritance had been taken from him, and no powerful faction was willing to support someone they believed had no future.The manor had

Chapter: Chapter Six:The Veyne Family Dinner
By the time Darius Veyne returned to the manor, the sun was already shining behind the trees.The forest had grown quiet around him, but his body was anything but calm.For hours, he had pushed himself through the training course he had built with his own hands. Every obstacle had been designed to test something different speed, balance, strength, endurance, and reaction time.None of it was impressive by the standards of the Veyne family.But Darius had never had access to the resources his cousins enjoyed.So he had built his own path.The manor came into view through the trees.It was a large, well-built residence, but compared to the estates belonging to the other direct descendants of House Veyne, it looked abandoned.The manor had been assigned to Darius when he turned twelve—the age at which members of the Veyne family were expected to awaken their powers.It was supposed to be the beginning of his independence.Instead, it had become his exile.His parents were already dead, h

Chapter: Chapter Five: Curse
Darius stopped walking.A chill ran down his spine.He didn't know why.There was no attack. No Darkness creature. No visible threat.Yet every instinct in his body was screaming at him to run.His eyes slowly moved across the crowded compound until they landed on a man entering through the main gate.The stranger looked sick.His face was pale, his black hair hung messily around his face, and every step seemed to take everything he had.Darius stared at him.Then his heart sank.He's going to die.The thought came without warning.Darius didn't know how he knew.He simply did.And the moment he had that thought, the device attached to the man's arm changed from green to red.BEEP!Every Blood Knight in the compound turned at once.Another beep followed.Then another.The man's Lifeguard began flashing violently."ALERT: Subject life signs critical.

Chapter: Chapter Four: The Road To The Ironhold
Everyone in the fortress had expected Darius Veyne to come back dead.Some had even hoped for it.Yet, in the middle of the afternoon, the doors of the fortress opened, and the boy everyone had already counted as dead walked out alive.The warriors gathered outside fell silent.Darius didn't acknowledge them.He simply walked forward.His clothes were still stained from the Black Reach, and beneath the exhaustion in his eyes was something none of them could understand.He had survived a mission that should have killed him.Again.But he had failed to awaken.Again.“How the hell did he survive?” one warrior muttered. “That kid was hit by a Grade 2 Enhancer.”“Did he at least finally awaken?”“Doubt it.”Another warrior scoffed.“Even if he survived, nothing has changed. He's still useless without an ability.”Darius heard every word.He didn't react.He had heard worse.For seventeen years, people had whispered about him behind his back.The failed heir.The useless descendant.The bo

Chapter: Chapter Three: The Sacrifice
The forest exploded with noise.Something crashed through the trees behind them, sending branches flying. The ground shook beneath Darius's feet.His mother tightened her grip around him and ran faster.“Mother… what's happening?”She didn't answer.Blood ran down the side of her face, but she kept moving until they reached the clearing.Darius froze.Bodies covered the ground.Broken weapons lay scattered among the dead. Their carriage had been destroyed, its wooden frame burning at the edge of the clearing.“Where is Father?”His mother looked at him.There was fear in her eyes.Not for herself.For him.“There are people coming for you,” she whispered.“Who?”“They know about you.”Another explosion sounded in the distance.“They're close.”“Then let's run.”“We can't.”“Why?”She knelt and placed both hands on his shoulders.“Because they won't stop.”Darius stared at her.“They aren't here to kill us.”Her voice became quieter.“They're here for you.”“If they find you, they'll t

June 12th, 1630.That was the day the world ended.There was no warning.No strange message from the governments. No prediction from scientists. No time for humanity to prepare.One moment, people were living their normal lives. Cars filled the roads, planes crossed the sky, and millions of people went about their daily business.Then the darkness came.Creatures appeared across the world without warning. They were unlike anything humanity had ever seen. Their bodies were twisted, their strength was beyond human understanding, and strange powers surrounded them.The armies of the world responded immediately.Tanks rolled through cities. Fighter jets filled the sky. Soldiers opened fire with everything they had.It meant nothing.Bullets barely slowed the creatures down. Missiles destroyed buildings but failed to stop them. Tanks were ripped apart as easily as toys.The creatures spread faster than anyone could understand.Within hours, cities had fallen.Within days, governments had c
