Future

He saw the end of mankind and suffered a miserable death. But when he opened his eyes, he was back thirty years before his death. Since he had a possible second chance, he decided to become the strongest and survive that miserable end. To become the ultimate wizard. ‘This time I will start with the very beginning.’ He wanted to start before the end of the earth, which was bound to happen in five years. The VR game The Endless. The passage to the planet Yuriel before the end of the earth. If he could become the strongest while he was an immortal player, he would have a chance to escape that tragedy. To people who didn’t know the truth, it was just a game. To people who knew the truth, it was their future. To Jason, who knew the future, it was his ticket to survival. … ‘Let me use thirty years of my experience. Ah… I never played The Endless in my previous life. Great!’ ‘I know all about planet Yuriel. But, in five more years….’ ‘I have no time to join a Guild. I can’t babysit anyone.’ … “Join our guild if you want the money to buy a VR cabin. ” … ‘I have to focus all my time on getting stronger.’ “There is no food in the village.” .. “Hey, where are you going? You brought a child here and trying to leave? She is your child now, so take care of her.” “Eh… I will come back soon.” ‘Damn it. Didn’t I say, ‘I don’t want to be a babysitter’?’ … “That child is cursed.” “Did you say she is cursed? Say that again, I will kill you.” … ‘Right. Why did I start playing this game, again?’

Kenan wanted to escape his past. Kate wanted a future she could control. On their wedding day, both are ripped away. Exposed by betrayal before their vows are sealed, their marriage fractures in front of everyone they know. Before accusations can be answered, before forgiveness or fury can settle—explosions tear through the church, and the world ends. They awaken in a cursed forest world called Horta. The trees have faces. The ground bleeds corruption. And a cold, impartial System informs them of a simple truth: They are the last heroes. Every other world has failed. Every other chosen has died. Their faces now grow in the bark of the forest that devoured them. Kenan and Kate are given a single clearing and a dying pylon. A fragile foothold in a world already lost. Cultivate it. Defend it. Expand it. Or humanity disappears with them. Waves of monsters crash against their shrinking sanctuary. Each victory buys them meters of safety. Each failure tightens the forest’s grip. What begins as a blood-soaked clearing must become a refuge. What becomes a refuge must grow into something capable of sustaining the last survivors of Earth. But survival demands more than strength. Kenan hides a violent truth from the life he tried to abandon. Kate refuses to trust the man who betrayed her. They must fight side by side while their marriage rots between them. Base by base. Wave by wave. Meter by meter. They will carve light out of corruption. They will turn wilderness into a stronghold. They will cultivate a dead world into humanity’s final hope. If they don’t destroy each other first. A dark system-apocalypse story blending base building, relentless base defense, psychological survival, and a fractured romance forced to endure the end of everything.

The system chose everyone. Except him. Noah Kane failed his awakening test three times. No system. No rank. No future as a hunter. Just a government classification that read NULL and a world that had already moved on without him. When a Rift opens during a routine escort job and every licensed hunter dies in minutes, Noah is left bleeding in the wreckage beside a girl he has never met. He reaches for her not knowing why. The system that activates in that moment is nothing like anything registered in the GRA database. No blue interface. No standard skill tree. Just black text on a background the color of deep space and a single offer: Consume what you kill. Keep everything they had. Noah Kane can devour monsters. Their power. Their abilities. Their bloodlines. Their memories. Every enemy becomes a stepping stone with no visible ceiling. But the system also did something he never asked for. The girl Sera Vane is now bound to his soul. Alive because of him. Unable to be separated from him without killing them both. She is furious, brilliant, and the only person who understands his system well enough to keep it from destroying him. Now hunted by governments who want to dissect his system, guilds who want to weaponize it, and ancient entities from beyond the Rifts who seem terrified of what he is becoming, Noah has one advantage none of his enemies have accounted for. He is trying to understand why his dead father built this system and hid it inside his son. The answer will change everything he thinks he knows about the Rifts, about Earth, and about the girl he cannot walk away from. They trained for years to become hunters. He was born to devour.

"DESTROY HIS DANTIAN!" Ma Durung shouted with a booming voice. Immediately, several disciples tightened their grip on Zhao Yun. The command from Ma Durung, the crown prince of the Ma Kingdom and a prodigious disciple of the Black Dragon Sect, was carried out without hesitation by his subordinates. Zhao Yun, forced to kneel with both his hands firmly restrained by two of Ma Durung's followers, was in a dire situation. His mouth was gagged with cloth, silencing any attempt to cry for help. Worse, his qi flow had been sealed by Ma Durung's personal guards, rendering him powerless to resist. With desperation in his eyes, Zhao Yun glanced toward his three closest friends.
