The world didn't end with a nuclear explosion or an alien attack, but with the "Great Silence." Blind monsters called The Sleepers emerged from the bowels of the earth, slaughtering anything that made a sound louder than a breath. Raka, a paranoid night-shift barista, is trapped in his cafe as a massacre unfolds. On the verge of death, a blue hologram appears on his retina. It's not a guardian angel, but the [Doomsday Streaming System]. This system has the personality of a "Toxic Netizen" who craves drama and is sarcastic, and uses Raka as an Avatar for the entertainment of an entity from another dimension. To survive, Raka discovers that caffeine is his power source. The stronger the coffee he drinks, the faster his heart beats, and the slower time passes in his eyes (Bullet Time). Raka becomes the fastest man on earth, but at a fatal risk: if his heart rate reaches 450 beats per minute, his heart will explode. Accompanied by Baginda (the fierce Mutant Swan and System's golden boy), Luna (the mute archer), and Dr. Vanya (the mad surgeon), Raka must run through this silent hell. He fights not only to survive, but to satisfy the "Audience" in exchange for points to upgrade his dying heart. This is a story about a man running against time, fighting monsters, and arguing with a supernatural admin in his head, towards a bitter but relieving finish line.

Additional Tags: #Romance, #Evolution, #Antihero Power in Aethelgard does not come from prayer. It comes from Divine Marks, fragments of Authority carved into existence itself. A single Mark can lift a mortal beyond the limits of flesh. With enough Marks, a being may evolve into a Saint, a Demigod, an Angel, or even a True God. But every Divine Mark has a sequence, a stage, and a burden. Ilyan Morveth was killed for one. His heart was pierced in an abandoned ruin. His killer left him there, waiting for the Divine Mark inside his body to appear. It never did. Before the Mark could manifest, an ancient soul drifted into the corpse. Then the dead man opened his eyes. Now Ilyan wakes with a closed wound over his heart, broken memories that do not belong to him, and a power he does not understand. His first day alive only gets worse. A Beast attacks him in the ruin. A mysterious Divine Mark rises from its corpse. And when Ilyan reaches Blackstone, the city gate already has his name written in the death ledger. According to the records, Ilyan Morveth died before dawn. To survive, he must play the role of a dead man whose life he barely remembers while hiding the impossible power awakening inside him. Because Miracle is not luck. It is not fate. It is the quiet violation of reality itself. A falling stone at the right moment. A wound that should not heal. A question asked one breath too late. A coincidence too perfect to be coincidence. But miracles attract attention. Ilyan is not a chosen hero. He is a survivor wearing a stolen life. And if the world insists that Ilyan Morveth should have stayed dead, then his first miracle will be proving it wrong.
