After a devastating alien invasion by the Xollante, the world split in two—North ruled by the vicious mutants, South struggling to survive. Humanity’s only hope lay in a distant planet called Luxus E-75, where exposure to its strange energy awakened superhuman abilities known as Quirks. Leo Rayden was just a boy when he ignored a warning that could’ve saved the world. Now, 78 years later, he wakes from a coma on Luxus E-75, unchanged, unaged, and carrying a guilt that runs deeper than the Earth’s fractured core. The worst part? He has a Quirk… but doesn’t know how to unlock it. The same quirk which saved him 78 years ago. To atone for the past and prepare for the war to come, Leo must enter Earth’s ruthless Quirk Academy, where only the strong survive and the weak are cast aside. Armed with nothing but raw willpower, cryptic flashes of power, and help from his older mysterious telepathic friend Loca from Luxus, Leo sets out to climb the deadly Rank System—a path littered with betrayal, brutal training, and battles against both humans and aliens. But buried within him is a power not seen since the Great Evolution. And if he can unlock it… He might just conquer the system. Or die trying. "He slept through the apocalypse. Now he has to save what’s left of the world." A gritty sci-fi/fantasy epic of survival, guilt, growth, and revenge—with ancient weapons clashing against high-tech war machines, mutant powers, and the rise of an unlikely hero.

In a fractured world stitched together by ancient contracts and the whispers of summoners, power is everything—and Ryan, a dirt-born runt from a nowhere village, wasn’t supposed to have any. When his body surges with a volatile current known only as Dioki, the arcane lifeblood of creation, Ryan is plucked from obscurity and hurled into the political meatgrinder that is Kuma Academy. But while other students shape-shift reality with vampires, elves, and demonkind, Ryan summons something that shouldn't exist: a colossal entity wrapped in time-stained myths and riddled prophecies—Sphinx, a divine beast of ancient fire and truth. Sidelined as a freak. Watched like a weapon. Revered by beasts. Feared by men. The world had rules, but Ryan’s presence is the motherfucking exception. And when an ancient war that bled the stars dry stirs again, it's not the princes or the council who will decide the fate of the realms. It’s the kid with muddy boots, bloodied knuckles, and the unshakable audacity to summon monsters the gods themselves abandoned. Unspoken Premise: “The Beast-Binder and the Cursed Blood” Ryan never asked for power. But when Dioki awoke within his bones, he was shoved into a world where summoning rituals shape empires, and bloodlines rule with iron, magic, and fire. Unlike his noble-blooded peers, Ryan’s magic doesn’t bring forth elegant fae or winged seraphim. He calls down the old ones—divine, brutal, and beyond control. With Sphinx, his first divine beast, kneeling beside him, and a war brewing in the shadows, Ryan must navigate deceitful politics, alien invaders, and a summoner’s hierarchy designed to break those who dare defy blood.
