Everyone in Eclipse City dreams of awakening an ability. I spent twenty-five years being one of the powerless. Then a monster attacked during one of my deliveries, and a strange voice appeared inside my head. [SYSTEM ACTIVATED.] For the first time in my life, I had power. But there was a problem. The system hated me. Every mission became more dangerous. Every reward came with a hidden price. When I refused to obey, it punished me. Then I discovered the truth. I wasn't the system's chosen host. I was its biggest threat. Previous hosts had all died after reaching Level 50. The system had made sure of it. Now I'm approaching Level 50, and the system is becoming desperate. It wants me to open something called the First Gate. It doesn't want me to know what's behind it. And the more I uncover, the more I realize that my entire life may have been part of the system's plan. But the system made one mistake. It gave its prisoner enough power to become its enemy. Now I'm going to break every rule it gave me... even if the truth behind the First Gate destroys the world I know.

Three years ago, Dr. Adrian Cole was the golden boy of surgery until the powerful Monroe family framed him for malpractice, stripping him of his license and his wife, Lilian. Now, Adrian has returned as Chairman Cole, the cold, ruthless majority shareholder of a medical conglomerate, and his target is the Metropolitan Medical Group (MMG)—the very hospital that ruined him.

When The Foundation issues its brutal ultimatum—forcing Adrian and Lily into a public, fake engagement to protect her reputation—the line between protector and adversary vanishes. Can Adrian dismantle a global conspiracy without losing the one woman who sees the man behind the monster, or will the price of his ultimate victory be the second life he fought so hard to reclaim?

Because the Soul Eaters are the only thing keeping him alive—and possibly his only chance to save his daughter. How much is Seven willing to sacrifice for Mephisto when everything he has ever fought for is on the other side of the trigger?

God Vanished. Twenty-five years ago, the world changed. Gates appeared across the Earth. Monsters poured through them, and humanity awakened powers it never knew existed. Xavier Reed was one of the unlucky ones. Born with strange crimson eyes and abandoned as a child, he grew up believing weakness was simply his fate. With no talent or power, he became an E-Rank dungeon porter, the disposable man hunters left behind. Until one dungeon changed everything. Abandoned to die by the very people he trusted, Xavier watched the portal close before him as a monster tore through his body. He should have died. Instead, something awakened. [Host Located.] [Welcome back, Xavier Reed.] A mysterious System has chosen him. But this is no ordinary System. It doesn't simply hand out quests or demand that he become stronger. It watches. It judges. It remembers something that Xavier doesn't know. Something that may have not happened yet. As Xavier climbs from the bottom, he begins to uncover secrets hidden behind the Gates. Something is wrong with the world. Why has Heaven fallen silent? Why is the Underworld moving? And why was Xavier chosen? The answers may be connected to a truth far more terrifying than the monsters beyond the Gates. Humanity may have already lost this war. And that is why he was chosen, to change that outcome.
