In the soaring spires of Altheria, magic determines a man’s worth. To be born without it is to be a ghost in a city of gods. Kaelen was a ghost—until the day he tried to die. When Kaelen plunges into the dark waters of the Great River, he doesn't find death. Instead, he awakens a forbidden interface: The Arcane System. This is no ordinary gift of the heavens; it is a cold, clinical accountant of agony. Its rules are simple: mana is for the blessed, but Despair Points (DP) are for the broken. Every bruise from a noble's fist, every insult spat in the mud, and every memory of failure is now a deposit in Kaelen’s account. With his new system, Kaelen can purchase what nature denied him: artificial mana veins, shadow-walking abilities, and the dark secrets of the very Academy that shunned him. But the Arcane System is a demanding master. To maintain his new power, Kaelen must keep the "market" of his misery volatile. He must enter the Academy as an uninvited guest, face the golden boy who tried to break him, and survive the scrutiny of the terrifying Inquisitors. Kaelen spent eighteen years as a victim. Now, he’s an investor. And he’s about to prove that when you have nothing left to lose, you have everything to gain.

He did not care if the prayer stole precious seconds from the timer. Between speaking to God and the damnation the system promised at zero, there was no question which came first. “Dear Lord,” he murmured, “Ye who see all hearts and weigh all sins… hear me now as I stand at the threshold of damnation. What I am about to do is cruel and unforgiving. A stain no river may wash from my hands. Yet, if this evil must be borne so that greater horrors may perish, let that burden fall upon me. “I know the gates of Hell stand open before my feet, and should this act be the step that leads me through them… so be it. Let history curse my name—if by my damnation, others are spared. “But Lord…” he continued quietly, “when the trumpets sound in the final days, when the dead rise and judgment cometh upon all souls, I ask only this of You: do not forget that I once wept for what I became. Do not forget that I hated the necessity of my hands. Don't forget that though I walked willingly into darkness, I did so that others may remain in the light. And if mercy exists even for the damned… then let me be counted among those shown pity. “For the sins I commit in Your name, for the evil I embrace in pursuit of a righteous end, and for the soul I surrender this night… I beg Your forgiveness.” He lifted his gaze and fixed Vir Ossium a death stare. “... Amen.” —————————————— Kael was just an ordinary guy—until the night he died. But instead of staying dead, he is thrown into a brutal death game. The rule is simple: Be the last Kamen Rider standing... by any means necessary.

Can they stop the person who kills without blinking? Or are they destined to be swallowed by the darkness they created?

The enhancement serum was meant to create superhumans—faster, smarter, stronger. Instead, it wiped out most of civilization and turned the rest into Hollowed: vicious, mutated monsters. Elias Mercer should’ve been dead. Instead, he became something new—immune, stronger than a Hollowed, and guided by a mysterious (possibly digital) voice in his head. He’s the first successful mutation—and now, everyone wants him. Hunted by Viratech, the shady corporation that created the virus, Black Sun, a ruthless cult with dark motives, and other mutated survivors who’ve lost their humanity, Elias is stuck in a crumbling world ruled by chaos. His body keeps changing, the System in his head grants strange abilities with dangerous side effects, and his forgotten past might hold the key to everything. To survive, Elias must uncover the truth behind the virus, his own identity, and whether saving the world means losing what’s left of himself. Monsters. Mutations. Mystery. And a war on the horizon.
