Blurb Everyone received a countdown. Nobody knew what it meant. When the apocalypse descended upon Earth, Ethan Vale watched the world he knew collapse in a matter of hours. Monsters appeared. Cities fell. Millions disappeared. Then a timer appeared before his eyes. 100 DAYS. While other survivors watched their numbers fall toward zero, Ethan discovered something impossible. His timer could increase. Every evolved monster he killed gave him more time. Every additional hour gave him another chance to become stronger. For the first time, Ethan wasn't running from the apocalypse. He was progressing through it. But there was something wrong with his countdown. It wasn't counting down to his death. It was counting down to the next stage of the apocalypse. And when Ethan finally discovers what happens when the timer reaches zero, he realizes the monsters were never the real threat. Humanity is being tested. And something is waiting to see whether they fail.

The silence of death was the last thing Kaelen remembers. He opens his eyes in a realm of jagged iron and suffocating magic, trapped inside a body that belongs to a dead man. A voice in his head, cold and precise, tells him he is chosen for greatness. It promises him the power to conquer gods, provided he is willing to pay the price. The system is a lie. Every monster he kills and every skill he unlocks requires him to trade a memory for power. He starts as a nameless slave, climbing the ranks in a world that thrives on cruelty. With each level, he feels his conscience dissolving, turning him into the very thing he despises. The terrifying truth hits him when he realizes his predecessor was murdered by the same civilization he is currently fighting to save. He is the ultimate weapon for a world that deserves to burn. Now, Kaelen faces a final, impossible choice. He can become the hero the system demands, or he can destroy the game, even if it means dying a second time.
